There had been a battle on the deck before, and some of the guards were collecting the corpses, and according to the two guards before them, these should be from the Senate.

Their numbers were actually not superior, but because they were hiding in the shadows and caught the emperor's guards off guard, when the sharp-eyed eagle guards came to their senses and took timely measures, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

"Marlowe, I'm disappointed in you, didn't you say that you would hire someone from the Dark Brotherhood to assassinate you? Why do it now? ”

In one of the cabins, the senator's envoy, who had just boarded the Cataria, was reprimanding Marlowe, the Commander of the Sharp-Eyed Eagle, who was in charge of the security of the Emperor's side.

In order to be able to kill the emperor, the Senate specially sent someone to the sky with 20,000 gold coins, and hired the Dark Brotherhood to assassinate the emperor, and Marlowe acted as an internal response to facilitate the assassin's actions.

"I don't think the people of the Dark Brotherhood are reliable, and they didn't even complete the assassination at the wedding banquet, and I don't think they can continue to complete the rest of the mission." Erasing the spit that the envoy had sprayed on his face when he spoke loudly, Marlowe's expression was a little displeased.

"So you're going to do it early!?" Spit flew in the air.

"Your Majesty seems to be aware of it, and if I don't do it, I'm afraid that something else will happen."

What's more, Marlowe had just learned a day earlier that his son had been killed by the Dark Brotherhood, which was not in his plan, which made him hate the Dark Brotherhood's unconventional actions.

Regardless of whether Titus Maider II was assassinated or not, Marlowe was ready to avenge his son by exterminating the Dark Brotherhood himself.

"That's your incompetence! If I can't even do this thing, I'll report it to the Chief Elder. The envoy scolded again, then slapped the table and said, "Once the dark ritual begins, the assassination mission will not stop, you are ready, bring the assassins of the Dark Brotherhood to the ship, this matter, after all, it is better not to do it yourself." ”

With that, the envoy slammed the door and left.

"Dog-fighting guy!" Commander Marlowe slammed his fist on the table, when had he ever suffered such humiliation as the commander of the Sharp-Eyed Eagle, he had betrayed the Emperor for the mission of the Chief Senate, and had taken his only son.

Sweeping the contents of the table to the ground, he sat down, his fingers intertwined in his hair, knuckles turning pale.

On the other side of the cabin, four figures were groping their way through the corridor.

Along the way, the patrolling guards were quietly put down, and if anyone who was interested in checking it, they would find that in some barrels, crates, there were different people stuffed in various postures.

"Do you know where the emperor is?" Zhang Lin asked in a low voice to the sharp-eyed eagle behind him.

"If nothing else, Your Majesty should be in the study, at the end of the cabin." "There's only one way through there, and it's hard for others to get inside when the entrance is closed." ”

During the conversation, the Senate envoy, who had been in the commander's room before, walked down with his waist crossed, his leather boots creaking on the wooden stairs.

"Where have all the people gone?" The envoy stood at the top of the stairs and looked at the dining room in front of him suspiciously, the food on the table was still steaming, and the bread that had been gnawed a few bites was placed on the plate, as if someone was eating here one moment ago, and the next moment it suddenly disappeared, "This group of useless guys, from commanders to soldiers, are rice buckets!" You can't do anything. ”

The envoy scolded, found a stool and sat down, took out a silver cup, poured a glass of red wine and drank it, the aroma of the food made his stomach grow, "Damn, these are for human food, I shouldn't have taken this shitty errand." ”

Looking at the food on the table, most of which had been touched by people, the envoy was a little disgusted, but the hunger in his stomach made him slowly stretch his hand out.

A cold wind suddenly blew from behind, and the chill from his neck made him shiver, and goosebumps spread from his neck.

"There's not even a window, where does the wind come from?" Looking around with some confusion, the door above the stairs had been closed, and it was reasonable that there could be no wind blowing.

After scolding again, the envoy returned his gaze to the table, only to see blood-red text appearing on the table one by one, "Don't look back......

For a moment, the temperature in the cabin, which was much drier and warmer than outside, seemed to drop a lot, and the empty dining room looked a little strange to the envoy's eyes.

He couldn't help but think of some terrifying legends on the sea, as if there was a big mouth behind him about to devour him, and the whole person began to tremble.

Suddenly, a hand slapped on his shoulder, and his legs twitched and he fainted.

"It's not scary." Withdrawing his hand on the other party's shoulder, the corners of Zhang Lin's mouth twitched slightly, originally thinking that the other party was going to look back, but the mask he took out didn't work.

"You're so bored." Kexia stuck behind Zhang Lin and looked at the guy who had passed out on the table.

Regarding Zhang Lin's behavior, the two sharp-eyed eagles who came all the way over with soy sauce didn't know what to say, and the one who had been hit twice in the chest took a few steps forward, "This is someone from the Senate, don't kill him, take him to Your Majesty." ”

The four of them continued on their way, but Kashia had an extra figure in his hand that was being dragged forward like a sack.

As they reached the end of the passage, there was a slight noise from the closed door.

A guard looked at the few people in front of him in a daze, and before he could react, the envoy who was carried by Kashia was smashed as a large sandbag, and the two heads came into close contact.

The envoy, who had just had a hint of a tendency to wake up, was gorgeously unconscious again with a nosebleed.

The guards inside the cabin seemed to hear the movement and approached with a scimitar.

The guard was noticeably much quicker than the others, and as soon as he saw the corner of his coat peeking out of the corner of the wall, he slashed at it without hesitation.

The sound of weapons clashing echoed through the narrow passage, and as a caretaker, he desperately wanted his companions to come to his aid, especially when he saw more than one opponent.

But when his weapon was knocked to the ground, and he didn't see a single person attracted by the situation, he realized that his companions might have been dealt with.

The weapon was unarmed, and he wanted to roll backwards to dodge, but when they were together, a throwing knife was stuck in his throat.
