239 Assassination
After an afternoon of discussion, a group of businessmen did not come up with a perfect strategy, but came to a unified conclusion, that is, let them fight!
Faced with the choice of this group of business elites, Charlie was speechless, of course, maybe they thought about joining this game, but Donald had too few combat power chips in his hands, and there was almost no room for manipulation.
However, the people who should fight for it still have to fight for it, and the more allies Donald has around him, the safer it will be, even if he is an old adversary, he has the capital to negotiate with him.
Donald sighed: "Sometimes I really want to learn from you and focus on the improvement of personal strength, just like Charles the Great, even if he eats himself as a round fat man, no one dares to despise him." ”
Anna couldn't help but sneer: "Whether it's studying magic or cultivating martial arts, it takes talent, as if you can do it as long as you want to." ”
Charles said with a smile: "For Charles the Great, even if he has no strength, no one dares to despise him!
"Don't misinterpret my words, you know what I mean. Donald glared at him and sighed lightly, "Tonight, come with me to face the toughest piece of bone to gnaw! My cousin Allen, who is in charge of the city defense of Faro City, if you can get his support, whether it is personal safety or the family's right to speak, it will be guaranteed, go and try his attitude tonight, you two will go." ”
Anna was surprised: "What are you asking me to do? I'm not the boss, I can't say to him, "Oh! Give you 5 points of income, you can be my protector!"
"Alan is a boring person, and you are responsible for livening up the atmosphere. ”
Charlie pointed to himself and said, "What about me? You called me, you didn't specifically call me to pay the bill, right?"
Donald laughed, "Almost!"
Soon, night fell, and after the three of them had a light meal, they instructed their servants to drive to the fortress west of the city, where Allen always lived.
The road is not short, from east to west, you have to pass through the rich area and the mixed downtown area, all the way through, you can see the change from rich to poor, just like the city of Haynes.
Facing the swampy plains, the western fortress was the main access to and from the city, so it was built so tall that the magic lamps embedded in the stone walls could not dispel the darkness in the long passages, leaving behind vast areas of shadows and shaky shadows, and the darkness embraced the large, rough stones, giving the fortress a cold and murderous coat.
The three of them waited in the living room for nearly half an hour before waiting for a cold middle-aged man.
"Uncle Ellen, long time no see!" Anna stepped briskly to meet her, this girl really had some infectious power, looking at her movements, I felt that the oppressive atmosphere was invisibly broken.
"Hello, Uncle Ellen!"
Donald was close behind, and Charlie was a few steps behind.
Facing the two smiling juniors, the middle-aged man did not show a smile, his face was as cold as a dark steel sculpture, and even the lines on his face did not change in the slightest.
"It is not wise for you two to come to me at this time! Of course, you are not the first people, and I make my position very clear: the city guards are responsible for the administration of the city of Faro, and will not be involved in any other activities other than their duties! I obey the orders of the patriarch of the Louis family, and I do not care who he is. ”
Anna and Donald froze in place, this attitude was so resolute that there was no room for negotiation, so that Donald's prepared words in advance were held in his throat and could not be spit out.
Anna was also dumbfounded, enlivening the atmosphere, how can this live?
"If there's nothing to do, you can go back, and give you a piece of advice: it's not very safe outside lately, you'd better go back early, don't go out at night, and wait until the dust settles, let's talk about it!"
Donald bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you Uncle Allen for your advice, let's go back first." ”
Coming out of the fortress in the west of the city, Anna gasped a few times and said angrily: "If you don't speak, he's just a cold stone!"
Charlie couldn't help but look at her twice, this girl really has some capital, no wonder she has indescribable charm, any charm needs the support of basic conditions.
Donald sighed: "It's good news, there is one less force to influence the situation. ”
Charlie added: "The premise is that his attitude just now comes from the heart. ”
"Yes, let's go back first! Let me think about who I should talk to next. ”
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if something really happened, coming out of the fortress in the west of the city, Charlie had a faint cloud in his heart, and he was a little uncomfortable in his chest.
"Hey~!The more turmoil, the more damage, I really hope that such days will pass soon!" Anna held her cheeks with one hand and stretched out the window with the other, and under the pale yellow light, her skin glowed with a healthy wax glow, round and moving.
"Everything will pass, Louis people have a natural ability to adapt, you don't have to worry, maybe Three Holy Days will pass, and everything will be back in order. ”
Anna sighed, "That's optimistic! I'm really worried! Some filthy things can't wait to get out of the darkness, just like Uncle Allen said just now, at this stage, going out at night will meet accidents." ”
Donald didn't retort, and there were some signs that things were going in the direction he least wanted to see, although the lid hadn't been lifted yet.
"Don't think about it so much, a girl's life is simpler and easier to be happy. ”
Anna said faintly: "How can it be so simple? You see, the carriage behind is not sneaky, it doesn't even turn on the magic lamp, and it is already a street behind us." ”
Anna's inadvertent remark woke Charlie, who was deep in thought, and before he could react, a dark shadow rushed out of an alley in front of the carriage on the right, and a rough log poured into the wheel on the right.
Click!
With a loud bang, the body jolted violently, tilted over, and the entire carriage fell to the ground sideways, sliding forward, the magic lamp on the right side was crushed, and the light blue fragments and magic elements left a trail of blue flames on the ground.
At the moment when the wheels rolled into wood, the rear car tacitly pulled the reins, the body instantly swung sideways, and the heavy wheels sparked on the stone road, which was actually made of steel, and the carriage door fell off, revealing a thorny wall.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under the action of the automata, the steel arrows flew like locusts, flying wildly, accompanied by a dense aggressive sound, and the carriage where the three people were located was filled with arrows, some half-inserted, some without tails, and the arrow feathers shook violently and made a buzzing sound.
In an instant, the coachman and the horse were shot dead.
"Kill!" I don't know who let out a terrible scream, and the whole street blew up the camp, whether it was eating or shopping, each of them threw down the things in their hands, drilled and ran, and scattered in all directions, and the street that was still lively just now could not see a single person in the blink of an eye.
It took three rounds of arrows to stop, and the carriage was riddled with holes, but the car was Donald's car, and it was designed to be assassin-proof, and the walls of the carriage were made of ironwood, full of arrows, but only a few arrows did not enter the carriage.
More than a dozen masked men came out of the carriage and the corner of the alley, surrounded the carriage in a surrounding position, and one of the masked men gestured, and the two broke away from the line and walked slowly towards the carriage.
At this time, in the carriage, Charlie's face was a little pale, a layer of sweat was secreted on his forehead, and the barrier of holy light shrouded in his body was crumbling, he got up from Anna's body, and he didn't care how unsightly the posture was, the two of them were pressed under Charlie, and the three of them were crowded together in the corner of the carriage.
The street was eerily quiet, so quiet that you could hear the sound of a heartbeat, and two masked men slowly approached the carriage, their leader making an impatient voice, urging them to speed up.
Suddenly, the curtain behind the car trembled, and three black arrows shot out, silently, until they entered the human body and produced a stinging sensation, which was not noticed by the person who was hit by the arrow.
The light was dim, as if something strange had swallowed up the light in the night, and it was dark.
Pong!Pong!Pong!
Clouds of water vapor exploded, and in the blink of an eye, the whole street was shrouded in a vast mist, and it was dark again, and it was almost impossible to see five fingers.
In the carriage, Anna looked at Charlie in amazement, casting one magic after another effortlessly, without the need for spells or the process of gathering energy.
Charlie lowered his voice and asked, "Can you run?"
Anna nodded vigorously.
Charlie took a handful of frost energy with one hand and pressed it on Donald's thigh, which was instantly wrapped in frost, forming a pale blue ice cube to seal the blood and wounds, and the latter snorted and gritted his teeth to endure.
Then, Charlie picked Donald on his back and kicked him hard against the wall of the car, cracking the torn car and pulling Anna out of the rear window.
Sure enough, several steel hand axes roared and chopped on the cracked compartment walls, and the axes cut through the iron and wood boards.
There was no need for Charlie to command, Charlie held a knife in one hand and a scabbard in the other, and rushed in one direction, Donald tacitly grabbed Charlie's shoulders and fixed himself, while Anna followed closely behind.
In the white mist, several silver rays flickered, and when the knife fell, the blood column gushed, and three great heads rolled to the ground, and under the broken face towel was a stunned face.
Charlie ran with Donald on his back, the speed made Anna almost unable to keep up, she could only desperately pull Donald's belt, and was carried by a courageous force to run wildly, her two legs were numb with pain, like two pieces of wood on the ground, I don't know when, the shoes ran away, the two bare feet were stained, and a few blood blisters were grinding out on the soles of the feet, which were so red that they were oozing.
The three of them panicked and slipped into a swarthy warehouse before stopping.
