Chapter Twenty-Four: The Late Elite

Without the slightest precaution, there was a heavy "knock" from inside the door, and the shopkeeper outside was inexplicably familiar when he heard this.

Basically, the kind of guest officer who is particularly tired, after entering the room, walks a few steps and just walks to the bed, and then collapses directly on the bed.

And this "bang" sound is the sound of them falling on the bed and smashing on the wooden board, and they fall asleep, and the shopkeeper naturally didn't care.

No one even stopped in front of the Assassin's room for half a minute, in fact, the people inside were already dead and fell to the ground.

Compared to the first assassination, the assassin in front of Ivan was disguised as a beggar and was shot in the throat with a poisonous needle straight to the middle artery.

Although he didn't bleed much, the toxin in the poison needle could be said to kill him in just a few seconds, and he didn't have to struggle.

The same was true of this assassin, the poisoned arrow shot in from the window hit the center of the eyebrow, and the assassin did not have time to call for help, and died directly.

For example, if the beggar was standing far away, passers-by would not even know what was going on in it.

I just saw that the beggar, who was still kneeling on the ground one second, suddenly raised his head, raised his dagger, and the next second stood still at the same time, and stopped moving. After a few seconds, he fell to the ground, unaware of the fact that he thought he was engaged in performance art.

Few people could see the details of what was going on, and Ivan was also an afterthought and saw that he didn't move.

When the beggar was once again probed of the situation, he was physically dying, and finally fell to the ground.

And when he put his finger under his nose, he was already breathless, although it could not be ruled out that he had faked his death.

But the pupils that opened were already infinitely dilated, and the appearance of losing his mind proved that he really had no possibility of being able to move again.

It should be really dead, judging from various physical signs, it didn't take long for the body on the side of the road to be disposed of.

This was quite instantaneous, and the scourge was solved on the spot, and the secret guards were very shocked, and someone really dared to assassinate Ivan.

At the same time, it is not only Ivan who is afraid, but also his secret guard, if there is really a three long and two short at that time, he can only apologize for his crime with death.

The Dark Guard has been following Ivan for a long time, but he hasn't found anything special about him, or what he hates.

Even if Ivan is the twelfth prince and may not have been reused by the first emperor in the court, it does not mean that he can be slaughtered at will.

As far as these secret guards sent by the first emperor around him are concerned, it is enough to prove his importance, and only the seven princes in the palace can compare.

What's more, in front of a dark guard, wanting to assassinate its main owner is simply a naked insult and contempt for the dark guard.

From that time on, until this assassination, many times these secret guards are no longer stupid and waiting, and will pass through their own eyes.

Directly assassinate those assassins who have the possibility of assassinating Ivan, and assassinate them invisibly, as a secret guard, with this power.

At the same time, the secret guard also has all the skills of an assassin, and assassination is commonplace. As for why the Secret Guards are Secret Guards, it's just that they don't want to assassinate others anymore. Compared to having nightmares every night after an assassination, the essence of protecting people is much better than assassination.

In this way, the three of them did not obey the arrangement of the Ten Princes, and on the same night, all three stayed at the inn.

On the same night, they died in the inn where they were staying, and the time may be different, but the result is the same.

Originally, the three of them wanted to make a move on this night, after all, they had to find Ivan's residence before they could assassinate him.

But before they acted, someone was acting, and their actions were forever sealed in their minds.

The dark guards won't give them the slightest possibility of hurting Ivan, at least the obvious danger, it's better to avoid erasing it in advance.

As early as when Ivan first came to this border city, the guards who were the guardians discovered the guards lurking around Ivan.

It just so happened that they had trained together before, after all, they were elite of the Dark Guards, so they naturally knew each other, even if they weren't friends.

But in the absence of a conflict between each other's positions, they are by no means enemies, that's for sure, the secret guards will not go to kill each other.

After all, one less secret guard, that is, one less chess piece to protect the prince, which is still very important. If one of the guards does something to another without any precedence. In any case, the secret guard who did it would definitely be connected to the Nine Clans.

For the various national laws established by the first emperor, as long as the secret guard discovers other secret guards who protect the prince, they will automatically join it.

For the safety of the prince, the secret guards went up the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and it was in this way that Ivan's life was protected.

The group of beggars that Ivan had gradually built up in the future thought that they had the main network of contacts and branches in the city.

In fact, the various secret guards had already colluded before, and for the safety of the city, they had to be able to contact someone.

It's just that it gave Ivan the illusion that he had done good deeds, and it made him think that he could protect himself and not rely on others.

In fact, it is still the credit of the secret guard, the secret guard has been assigned since he was assigned, except for the first emperor, he will not have feelings, and concentrate on protecting a certain prince.

In this way, the three unskilled assassins fell to the ground early on the first night of their arrival, posing no threat.

It didn't do anything other than make Ivan a little nervous, it was more like going through the motions and then the curtain ended.

The three of them were unfavorable, so naturally there were two elite choices left, both of whom had worked by the side of the former emperor.

It's just that the seventh prince was born as the eldest son, so he was assigned to him, and he was also a person with a certain age and actual combat experience.

Maybe as I get older, I can't focus too much technically, and I can't compare to the bells and whistles of some up-and-comers.

But in terms of actual combat experience, they are definitely the masters of a generation of assassin guards, they are more like totems, more like guides.

However, this did not stop them from going on a campaign to fight for their prince, although the two Assassins set out on different routes.

But they both arrived at the city in about the same time, and the two of them were not very panicked, knowing the specific location of Ivan. If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, they all know these little common sense, and they must follow these routine processes.

Even if it is a day or two late, it will not affect anything at all, but it can also be disguised and reduce Ivan's previous vigilance.

This gives them plenty of time to get to know the city, both inside and out, as well as at its center.

It can be said that compared to the three dead assassins in front of them, they were not in a hurry to enter this city even if they were a day or two late.

What's even more strange is that the two elite assassins only began to make plans when they arrived.
