Chapter Sixty-Eight: Waiting for the Rabbit

"You mean, using my cannon as bait?" Xiao Chen's tone became stern.

"Yes, but I believe it's worth it. You don't want those blackguards to pop up after you've taken the pass, do you? I don't want to hand over my house to the next owner without cleaning the cockroaches and bugs inside. Count Olgas said with a smile on his face.

"But this will put the people I left behind in danger!" Xiao Chen's words carried a hint of anger.

The Earl said, "Have you noticed that there are fewer guests? I have already set up a meal there, and more cronies and guards have rushed over after the dinner has begun." Your people just need to wait with peace of mind. ”

"I'm very passive when you do it without informing us. Xiao Chen said.

"But you're not in a hurry. ”

"Rushing doesn't solve the problem. Xiao Chen slowly stood up. But he saw that the earl stretched out his hand and summoned a waiter who had been waiting for a long time.

"I'm taking you as bait, but am I not bait?" said the Earl, taking a glass of wine from the waiter beside him, and pouring it directly on his face, and the wine mixed with a hint of vindictiveness penetrated into the waiter's nose and mouth. The waiter retreated in a panic, but after five or six steps back he fell to the ground and snored.

"What a waste of a good wine. The Count stood up, took off his cloak, threw it on his chair, and held out his palm to a stunned knight not far away. The silver-white fighting qi turned into silk threads and wrapped around his limbs, firmly binding the knight who originally wanted to turn around and escape, and then the middle of the fighting qi turned into the shape of a magic circle, imprinted on the knight's back, and sealed all the strength of his body. This hand fighting spirit has already confirmed his master's realm. In this realm, the fighting spirit can be condensed into a form like substance, and with the help of its magical nature, it can obtain magic-like effects.

Several of the earl's guards rushed over and held down the knight.

The Earl stretched out his other hand and pointed at the other knight who was slowly retreating, and an extremely thin and sharp silk thread of fighting spirit directly pierced the knight's body, opening a small hole in his heart. The knight staggered a few steps and then fell to the ground, twitching a few times, and then no more.

Count Olgas said, "Since the people here have moved, it should be about the same over there." Your Excellency Xiao Chen, will you come with me to have a look?"

In one of the many rooms on the city walls, there was an empty room that was pitch black, except for a small piece of illuminating hedron that emitted a little light that illuminated a few faces that could not be seen clearly. The men gathered together and blocked most of the hedrons' glow with their bodies.

"Each of you has seen the horror of the outpost, right? The Chinese's weapon is so terrifying that we must get it at all costs." Therefore, when we take action later, we must all have the consciousness of dedicating ourselves to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor. A deep voice spoke.

Hearing the words of dedication, the breathing of several people in the room became heavy, and the room remained tense and silent for a long time before another spoke: "We have this kind of consciousness when we come here, and I just hope that His Majesty the Emperor will not forget his own promise." ”

"Don't let me hear any more questions about His Majesty the Emperor, he has never let us down. The previous voice said.

"Olgas already knows we exist. Today's events are clearly a trap. A third voice said.

"It doesn't matter if it's a trap or not, the trap can catch the wild boar but not the earth dragon, even if Olgas has a guess, he will never imagine the extent of our infiltration. I can't imagine that the few of you he believes in have already taken refuge in the empire. The first voice said, "The old king could not have imagined that his foolish daughter could make things so bad." ”

A few sighs came from the darkness.

The man continued, "Those at the banquet can only delay for a while. It's up to us to take the key action. Don't forget how generous His Majesty the Emperor is, and if you can get these two cannons back to the Empire without any problems, Your Majesty will definitely give us and our families unimaginable rewards. ”

"Alright, don't say more, let's get ready for action. ”

"Nature is on top. The man said.

"Nature is on top. A group of people whispered.

——————————————

A few dark shadows came out of the doorway and went their separate ways.

One of them came to the edge of the warehouse where they housed their pneumatic cannons, and walked into a doorway next door, where more than a dozen warriors waited silently in the darkness. Seeing this man coming, the leader of the group whispered, "Baños, what's the matter with you, why are you so late?

"Captain, it's not my fault, the Bender butler just grabbed me and asked me something. ”

"Butler Bender?"

"Yes, I can tell you what he said. ”

"Shut up, I don't have time to say this now, stay in the team, the spies are about to appear, get ready for me!"

"Yes. Baños silently ranked at the end of the line. He saw that everyone else was staring at the door, and no one was paying attention to his movements, so he secretly reached into his arms and reached for a bottle of potion. Quietly opened the cap of the bottle, then poured the liquid inside on the ground, then took out a damp cloth from his arms and covered his nose.

——————————————

Two other dark shadows sprang down an inaccessible staircase at the edge of the wall, and the two of them met a patrol of five men almost below.

The captain of the other party was stunned when he saw them and said, "Sir Arsenor, is there something urgent?"

The knight, known as Arsenor, smiled and said, "We have some urgent business to do for the Count. Please give way. ”

The patrol leader said: "We have been tasked with blocking all the intersections on the fence today. ”

"We have special permission from the Earl. I have here the Count's written order, for the patrols, do you want to see it?" asked Arsenor.

"Ah, okay. Seeing that the other party put his hand into his arms, the patrol captain reached out to pick it up, but what greeted him was the flying knives that flew out with fighting spirit, and the three flying knives slightly larger than the fingers directly sank into the faces of the three people in front of him. The two people in the back just wanted to shout, but they found that they couldn't make a sound, and when they touched their throats, they found that Bobo's blood was gushing out of his neck. The man behind Arsenore similarly threw two throwing knives into their necks.

The two men pushed several of the patrolmen aside and continued to run down without looking at them. The two of them reached the bottom of the level, took out a sentry post in the same way, and then split up and infiltrated the town.

It didn't take long for fires to burst into flames at both ends of the town.
