Seven days later, on August 22, 1686, the belated five members of the team finally arrived at the imperial capital, Bourne

Julien Rousseau asked Marne to make arrangements, and they bought a smaller tavern a few days in advance, and because of the panic in the city, many small business owners were struggling to sustain their business, and when they learned that someone had offered a relatively high price to buy his tavern, the original owner also readily accepted the deal, and barely maintained a small business that only lost money in these turbulent years, and it was better to cash out

The storefront of the tavern is relatively narrow, but the space in the cellar where the wine is stored is still relatively spacious, enough to accommodate more than 60 people for discussion and planning

The barrels in the cellar had long since been removed, and at this time there was a huge floor plan map of the building hanging on one of the walls of the cellar, and the soldiers sat in several rows in front of the map, and they were very curious about what the plan was

All they knew was that they were going to follow a young heroic knight who had defeated a necromancer on a top-secret mission, but only the young knight knew what the mission would be, and now in this cellar, in front of this map, Julian finally told his subordinates what the mission was about: infiltrating the Imperial Palace and secretly capturing the Imperial Emperor Charlotte I

As soon as Julian said the contents of the mission, there was a commotion among the soldiers below, and many of them were talking to each other, all of them a little confused about the mission

What worries them is not the purpose of the mission, because the Pope has already said that the Emperor has sent people to attack the Templars in the Empire, and the soldiers of these Knights all hate them to the core, not to mention the difficulty of completing the mission, because each of them is the best soldier in the Templar Order, and many of them have climbed out of the Shura field, and have not encountered any difficulties and dangers, although the guards around the Emperor are also powerful soldiers in a hundred battles, but these soldiers of the Templar Order firmly believe that they are the best, as long as they plan carefully, it is not difficult to complete this mission

What really baffled them was that the mission was to be carried out in secret, and no one could be allowed to know that they had been sent directly by the Central Church - wasn't this a kidnapping, and this kind of sneaky thing was not acceptable to the Knights Templar soldiers who had been overeducated and could only fight the enemy in the open

However, Julian did not have time to do ideological work on these soldiers one by one, because the time limit given to him by the Pope had already passed more than half of the time, and he only left behind an irrefutable order, and then began to make concrete arrangements for the battle

Needless to say, everyone knows that the map hanging on the wall is the topographical map of the palace

During the meeting, Julian introduced Frey to all his subordinates, and although the soldiers were very curious about the new companion, it was clear that Julian did not intend to tell them about Frey's origins, and in front of everyone, Julian and Frey were both unconventional, so the ambiguous relationship between them was not seen through by everyone present

After a long meeting of more than ten hours, Julian and his soldiers finally decided on the battle plan......

night

Their operation proceeded as scheduled

The city of Bourne was in chaos that night

The palace was filled with fire and smoke, and all the soldiers, servants, eunuchs, and courtiers in the palace were running for help, and they were all busy fighting fires and rescuing important belongings

I saw a team wearing the uniforms of the imperial soldiers, they did not put out fires or salvage important property, but ran around treacherously, and some soldiers found out about the situation, they went up to investigate the team, but they were quickly killed by the other party, and the corpses were silently thrown into the grass or fire

Emperor Charlotte I was awakened, and in a fit of rage, he summoned his personal guards to go with them to find out what was going on

The personal guards arrived, but followed by an even larger, hostile team

Although the Emperor's personal guards were powerful, they were still outnumbered and overwhelmed by these unrestrained guests

Julian: They succeeded in stuning Charlotte I with ****, and they carried the kidnapped emperor to the predetermined retreat channel: as long as the sewer passed through the dark sewer, at the exit on the other side, his subordinates would pick him up, and all that was left was how to send the kidnapped emperor back to Holy Pope Island

The news of His Majesty's kidnapping spread like the wind throughout the palace, and the soldiers gave up the fire, blocking Julian's way and trying to save their emperor, facing the enemy's front and back pursuit, Julian's soldiers fought bravely, and after most of them were killed, they finally covered Julian with their lives, and more than a dozen comrades, as well as the kidnapped emperor, rushed to the entrance of the sewers

At the entrance, several soldiers guarding the entrance were assassinated from behind, and Frey stood at the entrance, holding a dagger still dripping blood in one hand and beckoning Julian to hurry up and enter the sewers

After getting everyone into the sewers, Julian patted Frey on the shoulder and said to her, "Mission is done, let's retreat."

Well, Frey smiled and nodded to him, being able to help her lover is the happiest thing for every woman who is immersed in love

Just as the two turned around to enter the sewer, a crossbow bolt suddenly came from behind

Frey noticed it, and she quickly pushed Julian to the side

Julian's life was saved, but Frey was pierced through the heart from behind by an arrow

Frey ...... No, no, no, no, it's impossible, Julian cried bitterly as he hugged his lover, who was covered in blood

I'm sorry...... Julian's brother...... Frey said with difficulty as she vomited blood...... Can't, can't be with you...... Walk and play together...... Together...... Before he could finish speaking, the girl's hand that had been caught in Julian's palm had slipped off, and she had lost her life forever

No, Julian looked up to the sky and roared......

No, Julian looked up to the sky and roared

What's the matter, my dear Frey, who was lying beside her, was awakened by his scream, and she hurriedly hugged her lover

FreyJulian looked down at the girl beside him and looked at her from head to toe...... Are you okay

I'm Frey, a little strange, what are you, dear, are you having nightmares?

Julian grabbed Frey and hugged her tighter than ever, Frey, I just dreamed of losing you, this strong man cried bitterly, I can't lose you.
