Chapter 173: Hunting the Royal Lackeys Next
Hearing this, the assistant of the assassination planner was also stunned, and turned to look at the boss, what should I do? I can follow the price, but I also have to have financial power!
The boss was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but now even the civilians hiding in the house were eyeing him, and he felt that someone would draw a knife for him at any moment. --New Ideas Chinese Network 'L'Z'W'-o-m. --The planner sneered, drew his knife and slashed at the neck of a woman next to him!
A dagger fell out of the woman's sleeve, and blood sprayed onto the roof beam!
There was silence all around, and the greed of the civilians, who were aroused by money, was poured cold water on their heads.
The planners stared left and right, and the crowd split in an instant.
He strode out of the house and behind his assistant, who consciously helped raise his shield, and the planner shouted loudly. "Northerners, we have a hundred strong warriors on our side, and reinforcements are endless! And there are only five of them and three of them are women, now think about it, which side should you choose? And damn the Southerners, it's great to be rich? It's not yours to steal his money! And the Southerners are cowards, they don't dare to do anything to women and children! ”
Hearing this, the crowd really hesitated again - or rather, the two sides competed to raise the price, giving them the illusion that "I am important, I can decide the situation".
The crowd turned to Shen Yan to see if he would offer a higher price...... Who knew that when they turned their heads, what they saw was that Shen Yan untied the rope tied to the money bag without saying a word, and threw the bag into the air!
In an instant, the golden light is blind!
In the unbelievable gaze of everyone, hundreds of golden cuties flew out of the money bag and sprinkled from the air like golden raindrops!
"Rob!" I don't know who shouted, and thousands of people rushed in the direction of the coin's fall!
The coins "jingled" and fell to the ground, and countless people were dominated by instinct and bent down to pick them up. The planner didn't understand Shen Yan's intention at first, but when he figured it out, his face changed and he wanted to bend down to pick up the money - a sharp arrow had broken through the air, and it shot through his forehead with a "poof"!
Arrows nail the mastermind to the door of the cabin!
It's not just him! And the assistants and the few shadows he had arranged in the crowd, and the spies sent by the Northern Kingdom—they all had other plans in mind, and none of them were essentially bought by a few crowns—so that when everyone stooped down to collect the money, they were like stones that came out of the water as they descended!
When those people hide in the crowd, it is equivalent to kidnapping civilians as shields in disguise, Shen Yan and Geralt are both good camps (cough~cough~) There is nothing they can do with them! But now that it's exposed, it's natural to kill them all unceremoniously! Completely remove hidden dangers!
This is Shen Yan's plan.
The assassins took money to incite civilians because they were not strong enough to compete with Shen Yan, Geralt and others; But Shen Yan is different here, their combat power is overflowing! As long as no one is causing trouble, you can kill all the assassins in a matter of minutes! In this case, they don't need to hire civilians in the first place, just let the civilians fall into chaos - they are busy grabbing money, so they naturally don't think about who to besiege.
It's just that the game relationship here is a bit complicated, and people who haven't studied in college generally can't turn this corner.
In addition, don't look at the amount of money that has been spilled out, in fact, it is only 100 crowns. Compared to Shen Yan's reward of 500 crowns per person, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
Sprinkle a little money, save a lot of money.
Seeing that the assassins were killed, the rest of the people scattered in a hurry, and the civilians who had picked up the money were still tearing and robbing each other...... Didi Di Di ~~~
Just as the police were always the last to arrive, so did the Nilfgaard army in Cowcastle. All kinds of whistles sounded, and countless soldiers with swords and shields poured from all the streets, surrounding the area. There were also several brigades of archers who, on the mandatory orders of the officers, climbed up to the roofs around the perimeter and set up crossbows to aim at this side.
Ciri breathed a sigh of relief and put the sword back into its sheath, slightly dissatisfied. "They're coming so slowly."
*****
"It's not a matter of slowness," Triss looked a little strange, her hands still pinching the magic gesture and not letting go. "The soldier's crossbow is equipped with a demon-breaking arrow, which is the product of an alchemist. The damage to the magic shield is huge, and I don't think Nilfgaard is rich enough to equip ordinary soldiers with such expensive arrows while maintaining law and order! Their goal does not seem to be a killer...... It's us. ”
Shen Yan and Geralt's eyes were at a touch, and Triss guessed well but not accurately enough.
To be precise, the target should be Ciri...... The wild hunt is solved, and then someone jumps out to do something?
"Ciri, you take a few of them to teleport away first, and I'll be there later." Shen Yan said in a calm tone as much as possible. Ciri has jumped out of this whirlpool, and the future is a transcendent plane walker, not suitable for dirty hands anymore, and it is better not to even know what is going on.
"Aim! Arrest all the people inside, and kill those who resist on the spot! "Seven or eight heralds were loudly delivering orders, and instead of rushing in, the Nilfgaard closed outside.
"Is there a problem with these soldiers?" Ciri is actually very smart.
"Don't worry about it, leave first, I'll take care of it here."
Geralt and Shen Yan don't deal with each other, but they work together very well, and they know what the other party is going to do with a single look. Geralt and Triss moved closer together, keeping Ciri behind him, blocking out the view from the outside. Ciri was accustomed to listening to Shen Yan's arrangement, and without hesitation, he pressed Geralt and Triss on the backs respectively and began to teleport, Nikita grabbed her arm.
Although Triss can also open the door, her magic movement is too loud, and the warlock opens a vortex portal of seven or eight meters, so that everyone knows that they are going to run. Ciri's teleportation is much more subtle, and even if you send several people away at the same time, it only takes a little time to prepare. The only uncertainty is that with Shen Yan here, the teleportation error will be relatively large - it may appear smoothly in their last camp more than ten kilometers away, or it may directly travel to another world......
By the time Nilfgaard realized that something was wrong, several of them had turned into shards of light and left in a burst of green light.
Looking at the empty corner, General Nilfergaard, who had been hiding behind, scolded fiercely and threw the horsewhip to the ground! He now began to wonder if there had been any flaws in his past...... Since he didn't do it, as long as he covered it up a little, he could put all the blame on the killer.
He was cautious, not trying to harm the princess.
As for seeing it, then see it!
*****
Shen Yan disappeared with Heri and the others, on the surface, it seemed as if he had also teleported together, but in fact, Shen Yan had returned to the "Mansion Technique". As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ye Naifa asking with a smile, "You arranged all this?" ”
Yennefer has been watching from the sidelines, even if he couldn't see it before, now he can understand it when he thinks about it back and forth - there are people in Nilfgaard who don't want Ciri to live, so they join forces with the Northern Kingdom to design a double killing game. But just look at this mess now, you can know that they must have been used by someone, and even Shen Yan planned all this from the beginning!
"It's just deliberately giving someone a chance to make mistakes. I'm leaving, so I'll help Ciri clean up the garbage before I leave, so that no cats and dogs will jump out as soon as I leave. Shen Yan simply admitted.
Ciri's abdication of the throne to become a plane traveler seems to be happy on the surface, but in fact it must have harmed the interests of some people, that is, the part of the family that is qualified to marry Ciri. Because once those people marry Ciri, they can become the de facto emperor of the empire.
Historically, it was Morfan Vries who married Ciri and became the new Emperor His Majesty. Now that Enhil has a son of his own, and Ciri gives up the inheritance, those people must not be reconciled. With the presence of this force, Ciri can "repent" at any time - that is, Ciri's existence has already posed a threat to the position of Enshil's unborn son.
Enshir doesn't care, but that doesn't mean some people don't.
"It's a pity, I thought you had a good relationship with her." Ye Naifa said with some sarcasm.
When he was at Dover Manor, whenever Shen Yan and the emperor and his wife dined together, they were as close as a family, all because of the aristocratic woman who was left and right between Enhir and Shen Yan. She knew how much Enshir valued Shen Yan, so she played the role of a lubricant in it, so that the two tough people could get along well - on the surface, it was naturally the Duchess's infinite charm that fascinated the two men.
Shen Yan gave her the opportunity to become the empress and her son to become the emperor, and she was grateful to Shen Yan.
"Oh, she thinks I'm going to stand in the middle and not help each other, because it's in my own best interest. It's a pity, she knows a fart! If it weren't for Ciri, Lao Tzu wouldn't have cared about Nilfgaard. Nice guy Enghil, I can invite him to Lao Ao's bar for a drink, someone else, who do I know her? ”
Shen Yan said angrily, angry that someone couldn't see the situation clearly, even if he dug the pit.
"Who's Old Ao?"
"A lich, now a demigod."
"Oh." Ye Milk was stuck, and a demigod suddenly appeared, and there was no way to talk about it this day.
While they were chatting, the general Nilfgaard, who had previously commanded the siege, appeared in full gear with people at the location where Shen Yan and the others had disappeared. He examined it carefully and whispered something to his men.
The Mansion moves depending on the caster's position, but if the caster burrows into the mansion themselves, the secondary plane that envelops the mansion will stop in place. Absolutely remain stationary, neither rising nor lowering.
This general came here, which was equivalent to dangling in front of Shen Yan's house.
Shen Yan smiled, "What a coincidence, I haven't gone to look for him yet, and he sent it to the door himself!" It seems that we will soon find out if the lady did it to Ciri. He stretched out his hands from the door of the mansion and dragged the general in with a whoosh......
