Chapter 254: The Death of Ortrus
There's a reason why Ortrus didn't flee in the first place.
Zhang Heng not only changed into a black coat this time, but also put on a hood, although Ottrus sensed Zhang Heng's arrival in time, but he didn't know who sent this assassin.
According to the information he received, the Balance Blade is finished, and only one alternate member is still outside, even if he is still alive, he should be too busy to take care of himself, and he will not come to him for trouble, and although the Hound is now an ally with him, but Ortrus is not completely at ease with them, the two sides are allied because of a common enemy, and now that the enemy is gone, the alliance relationship will naturally be dissolved.
If this assassin was sent by a hound, Ortrus would not be too surprised, in addition, he has some other enemies, large and small, and Ortrus needs to determine who his opponent is this time at the first time, especially how the other party touched his hiding place.
These temples contain the biggest secrets of Otheros, if the things in the statue stone seat are revealed, not to mention what kind of impact it will bring, from now on his most important information channel will be cut off, although Otlus himself is not bad, but it is like a magician has lost his best magic.
If it was possible, Ortrus still wanted to keep this secret, which is why he took the risk of talking to Zhang Heng.
Ortrus has always been a very cautious man, but at the same time he is also a very conceited man, he is very confident in his voice tricks, and with the great name of Hades, no matter how determined people stand here tonight, they should feel nervous.
As a result, Otlus received a small gift from Zhang Heng, and Otlus was indeed furious at first, eager to break the body of a bastard who scraped the copper pipe with a knife, but as the side effects of the sound passed, his head gradually calmed down, and Otlus realized that it was probably not safe for him to stay here any longer.
He even regretted that he hadn't left early in the morning.
Fortunately, it should be too late to go now, Ottrus did not hesitate this time, grabbed his cane, and said to the guards beside him, "Let's go to the tunnel." ”
The guards protected him in the middle, and then moved through the side door towards another stone chamber.
However, they only ran two steps, and the guards who remained at the end of the line suddenly fell to their knees, and his heart was pierced by a sharp arrow, and the rest of the guards became nervous. They spontaneously split into two teams, one team stayed behind to stop the enemy, and the remaining two continued to escort Otlus to the stone chamber with tunnels.
In the panic, Otlus, who was already inconvenient in his legs, also fell, and the cane flew to the side, but Ottrus did not have time to pick it up, although the copper pipe has a good effect on transmitting sound, but with the increase of distance, there will still be a certain loss, in order to better hear what Zhang Heng is saying, he chose a stone room closer to Zhang Heng, but the cost is that he can't enter the tunnel directly from the stone room, and needs to walk a short distance, fortunately, this distance is not long, only about fifty meters.
However, now Ortrus feels that this is the longest fifty meters of his life.
Soon after Ottrus fell, he was immediately helped up by the two guards around him, and for the next thirty meters, the guards almost carried him running, and Otlus vaguely heard the sound of battle coming from behind him, but the sound did not last long.
After a few seconds, it was gone, and hope rose again in Ortrus's heart.
Because the team left behind was full of six people, all of whom he had brought from the frontier, it was reasonable that they could not be dealt with so quickly, so they had a better hope of killing the Assassins, but Ortrus did not stop there, and still ran towards the stone chamber through the tunnel.
He was less than two meters away from the stone chamber, but the next moment, he felt a stream of air pass over his ears, and then the guard on his left hand fell to the ground with an arrow, and even Ortrus lost his center of gravity, and the guard on his right tried to draw his weapon to resist.
However, the figure holding the Persian sword on the opposite side easily slipped open his chest without much effort.
After that, Zhang Heng walked to the side of Otlus, who was still crawling forward, who had already climbed to the door, and was almost about to touch the door of the stone room, but then he listened to the person behind him, "Your sister asked me to bring you her greetings." ”
At this moment, Otlus finally couldn't maintain his former calm and pride, and begged, "No, it's impossible, how much money she pays you, I can pay double, not ten, in exchange for you not to kill me!" ”
"I feel your sincerity, but I'm sorry, she paid me something you can't give." Zhang Heng said as he grabbed Ottrus' hair.
The fear in Ortrus' eyes gradually turned to anger, and he kept repeating, "No, I have escaped the clutches of death once!" I'm not going to die here, I'm not going to die here. ”
"It's a pity, but I'm afraid you're really going to die this time, but the good news is that you got the news of your death five days ago, and I also attended the funeral that Your Majesty held for you, which is pretty good." Zhang Heng said as he slit Aotrus's throat.
The latter's fear and anger eventually turned into unwillingness, frozen in his eyes forever.
…………
Zhang Heng solved the first target of the night, but when he went out of the stone room maze, he encountered some trouble, because his way in had been blocked, Zhang Heng had to go around a long circle to get back to the ground, and at this time it was almost dawn.
Zhang Heng saw the wanted portrait of him posted on the street, so he could only put on his hood while there were not many people, and returned to the southeast city first, there was still one person left on his assassination list, and he was also the one who had been hidden the deepest.
- The leader of the hounds.
Zhang Heng didn't get any clues related to him before, to say that Ortrus is mysterious enough, but compared with the leader of the Hound generation, the name of Ortrus is at least known to everyone in the upper class, compared to whether the leader of the Hound is a problem, if it weren't for the accident, Zhang Heng would not know the identity of the other party.
Zhang Heng originally wanted to assassinate the leader of the hounds after killing Otlus, but he was accidentally trapped by the labyrinth, and missed that night, and when the bounty wanted was posted, Zhang Heng's actions were also greatly restricted, but fortunately, since Zhang Heng knew who the leader of the hounds was, it was equivalent to knowing what the best chance to assassinate the other party was.
Zhang Heng simply stopped moving, and just waited quietly for the other party to take the initiative to send it to the door.
