Chapter 226: Dragon Boat Duel (I)
The waiting time is boring.
I don't know when the imposters will make a move, and I don't know if the imposters are targeting the object they are protecting.
Looking at the kind old man who was under the heavy protection of the bodyguards, Hill had a feeling that the imposter should not attack in public.
Just as she was thinking this, a melodious sound of music came.
For some reason, after hearing this voice, she suddenly became very tired and wanted to sleep.
"What's wrong with me? Was it the reason why I didn't get a good rest when I read too late last night? β
"Of course not!"
Brand's voice came again, "Look! β
Seeing the nobles on the dragon ship and those bodyguards fainting one by one, Hill finally realized that something was wrong.
I didn't expect those impostors to really dare to launch an attack on the dragon ship, it's really mad! Once the dragon boat is destroyed, thousands of people will die in the Grand Canal, these guys are simply unscrupulous!
At the same time-
On the streets of the imperial capital, Estes patrolled alone. Those who opened the shop all came out and saluted respectfully when they saw her.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm just here to say hello. From now on, I will be in charge of the security of the imperial capital. β
"That's a real support for us, Lord Estes!"
One of the owner of the dim sum shop took out a lot of gold coins, "Please laugh at this"
Estes picked up two gold coins and smiled slightly, and put his finger directly against his eyes. Because the gold coin was big enough, it was stuck in the eye socket. However, it still squeezed his eyeballs, causing him to cry out in pain.
"I don't want a bribe. Next time, I'll let you know what pain is. β
"This hurts enough, Lord Estes!"
"Give me some signature snacks. You're a famous shop, aren't you? β
Estes sat down in a seat outside the store very casually, not at all defensive.
"Yes, yes. Right away! β
The owner of the dim sum shop, who had been taught a lesson, immediately ran into the store to prepare snacks for her.
"Estes ran out of the palace alone, this is a good opportunity to attack, and most people think so, but only now after I have become a beast do I know that acting alone is just a trap to lure the assassins! The proof of this is the 'smell' that emanates from her body - such an ominous killing intent! β
Although Leonay, who was hiding on the opposite roof and watching Estes, was unwilling, she still followed her instinct and chose to retreat when she realized the gap between the two sides.
"It's naΓ―ve to knock her down if you have the chance! Fall back! β
"Huh? The breath is gone," Estes, who was licking leisurely with the cone, was slightly disappointed, "Haven't you been fooled?" It's a pity, I still want to experiment with a new way of torture, but this one is really delicious, next time I will call them Tianxing. β
On the other side -
The Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army, General Bude, who commanded the palace guards, held a letter of recommendation written by the former minister Jolly himself, and looked at the three young men in front of him, who were obviously simple countrymen. Only then did he speak: "The minister of the previous civil official murders thought that he was doing a secret and could successfully give a 'night attack', but in fact, I have already learned the truth. Originally, it was intended to be wiped out by the rebels after they had been annihilated, but since Chancellor Jolly was safe and sound, and had such a detailed plan, I could not support it. β
General Bud said yes, and the three of Tazmi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Don't look at the fact that they have the potential to surpass General Bud after becoming vampires, but in front of the great general who has been in the top position for a long time, they are still taken by his momentum. It's so nervous.
The letter of recommendation sent to General Bud was not only to promote the three to join the Imperial Army, but also to explain the cause and effect of the incident to Minister Joly, and of course, to report Minister Ornest's behavior.
As for how the three of Tazmi managed to enter the palace and meet the general, Estes was very simple to do.
Everyone knows that she and the minister wolf bèi are in a nest of snakes and rats.
Not to mention her own terrifying strength and character. The relationship between her and the minister alone made the guards dare not say anything.
As long as she and the minister mentioned it a little, they would definitely not see the sun the next day! Maybe it will hurt your family!
From this point of view, Estes's reputation for murder is actually beneficial to Nightstar's plan.
Anyway, Night Sky Star is used to eating soft rice. Pulling the banner of Estes is simply unscrupulous.
"Since Minister Jolly appreciates your abilities, I believe you should be able to serve as a ten-man squad leader in the Guard."
Tazmi, Sayo, and Iyeas looked at each other. They all saw the surprise and excitement in their eyes.
"Thank you, General!" The three of them said in unison.
"Alright, you guys go and get used to life in the barracks first. The letter of appointment will be delivered to you tomorrow. Let's go down. β
"The general is busy, so we won't bother."
The dream of getting ahead in the imperial capital has completed the first and most critical step, and the three of them are full of fighting spirit when they first left the village.
"Tazmi, Sayo, now Uncle Iyeas is also a squad leader of the Imperial Army, you have to be respectful when you see me in the future, you know?!"
"Cut~ I haven't become the team leader like Tazmi, what's there to be proud of?"
Sha You pouted, she was a girl with a strong personality, even if she was abused and almost died, she did not bow her head to the nobles, after surviving this level, she not only overcame the psychological shadow, but also became stronger in her heart.
Tazmi smiled, not knowing what to say. What happened in the past few days was so exciting for him that it was like a dream. Seeing that the two friends were still as cheerful as ever, he was really grateful to the night star who saved the two friends. It's just that there has always been a question hanging over his mind, who was the masked girl who appeared that night? Why is Nightstar's body shape and voice so similar to hers?
"Hey, Tazmi. What are you thinking?! β
Iyeas gave him a push, interrupting his thoughts. "Seeing that you can't give up, you can't be too excited, right? The Squad Leader is just the beginning of our success. What do you think? Do you two want to compare yourself with me? See who climbs to the general's position first? β
"General?"
Both Tazmi and Sayo had a yearning look on their faces.
"Just take the general as the goal, compare it!"
"Okay, then let's see who becomes the Imperial General first!"
Growing up competing with each other in the village, the trio successfully joined the Imperial Army, began their legendary lives, and became the youngest of the three generals after Estes - of course, for another time.
On the dragon boat, it seemed that the sound of the flute from the Nine Shadows was still continuing.
"It's still so elegant, and it goes well with this boat."
In one of the rooms of the ship, Liva complimented the boy playing the tune in front of him with his hands on his chest.
Military music dreams. Scream - the emperor of the flute, able to manipulate the emotions of the listener freely. Although it is known to boost morale on the battlefield, it can manipulate dozens of emotions, but if you listen to it repeatedly, you will become resistant to the tune.
"When the ship leaves the city, there will be no eyes from the land, and now is the right time."
"I've been playing for a long time, so even if I stop, everyone will be weak for a long time." Niwu let go of the emperor and said.
"But maybe there are countrymen who don't understand Yayin, don't be careless."
"Yes." Niwu nodded.
"Just in case, you blow a little longer."
Liwa is cautious and planned. No matter what, he used to be a powerful person who climbed to the position of imperial general with his own ability. The other two of the three orcs were very respectful to him.
Dragon boat on the square.
"You can hear it with your ears plugged, is it really the emperor?"
Hill propped his hands on the side of the boat, trying not to pass out.
At this moment, a fierce-looking man in a black uniform completely ignored the piercing sound. He walked over to him with a sly smile.
"Oh? And the guys who are still struggling in this situation. β
This big man is Daidas among the Three Orcs, and he has been hiding by nature, but it really hurts him. See the plan and get moving. Almost all of them were tricked and walked out.
For him, a battle maniac, he doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. will not show mercy to his subordinates, "You can live if you lie down obediently." Why hold on? I can't help but kill you! β
Hill didn't react in the slightest, resisting the hypnosis of the flute, she forced herself up, "You're the fake NightRaid, right?" β
Dajdas grinned, "So, you're the real deal?!" β
At this point, there is no point in covering up, and Hill has no intention of covering up, "I'm Hill of the Night Raid Organization, and I'm ordered to come and kill you!" β
It was as if Hill had taken out a large pair of scissors of equal height from the void, which Brand had helped her keep after it had become transparent.
Everything is broken. Soul Destroyer - a scissor-shaped imperial tool that can cut through anything in the world, and can also be used for defense due to its high hardness.
The moment he held the scissors, Hill's expression changed.
Feeling the indifference and murderous intent emanating from her, Daidas became excited, "Oh, this is your true face, right? That's great, this is what a qualified killer should have! As long as I kill you, I should be able to add a lot of experience points to my becoming the strongest, right?! β
Hill is usually confused, no matter what simple things he does, he can't do it well, so he has been ridiculed since he was a child.
God closed the window for her to live a normal life, but opened a window for her to be different from ordinary people. She is a natural murderer, even if she has never undergone any training, as long as she holds the weapon, she can wipe out the other party in the simplest and easiest way.
Even because of his natural character, he will not leave any psychological shadows! (To be continued......)
