Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Day of Action
Two days later, in the evening, on the roof of a building some distance from the office, Sancho and five men watched every movement at the entrance of the office.
He had already arranged three teams, he, Prato, and a vice-captain each led his men, and prepared to break into the house from three directions as soon as night fell. If you don't meet an important person, you will cause chaos, and if you encounter a target, you will directly subdue and arrest them.
But just before leaving, Macora said that the firing group had found a temple priest who had embezzled a large amount of money and would immediately arrest him. Because two of the three Assassin teams had been taken away by Yepes, there was really no other manpower, so the vice-captain and his team had to be transferred.
This incident made Sancho feel very bad, in his opinion, anything that had anything to do with these Black Mountain mages would cause all kinds of strange accidents.
For him, these mages are simply the source of his nightmare and the label of shame, and every action has failed inexplicably, and now this is the last chance, if he returns today, he Sancho may lose his position in the Shadow Order, and completely become a marginal figure.
I really want to wash this house in blood, and have a clean end.
But he also knew that it was impossible, if it was a small nobleman in a remote area, he would do it. But the other party is a magician from the royal capital, and even the Nature Temple and the Shadow Troupe can't do such a sensational thing without an official statement. In that case, the King and the Magic Guild will definitely use this as a breakthrough to make the Temple of Nature passive. If he really got into trouble like this, he would definitely be abandoned by the Temple of Nature.
Great god of nature, please let these mages wait for me inside. He secretly prayed to the god of nature.
At this moment, a figure flew in from a distance, and it was Macora, who jumped up and down in front of Sancho in two or three times, and said: "Things have changed, and actions need to be adjusted." ”
"What's going on?" asked Sancho, looking anxious, "why is there something wrong again?" ”
"The most important thing for an Assassin is patience, Sancho, you look like an apprentice who has not yet been apprenticed. Macora scoffed.
Sancho said with a dark face: "What the hell is going on? In two hours, Prato and I will rush in." ”
"I got a new piece of information, Xiao Chen, the mage who is in charge here. I'm afraid I'll leave soon. Miss Tasia of the Alonso family held a banquet tonight, inviting many familiar mages and nobles. It is said to be to celebrate the invention of a new little magic. You know that these nobles will hold banquets twice in three days, and many times even on the impromptu basis, but those of us outside the circle are always slow to know the news. ”
"You're suggesting I attack him on his way?"
Macora frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Of course not! Now that the sun has not set, there are many people on the road, you can keep an eye on him, and then do something on his way back." Remember, this is the royal capital, not your country, and everything has its rules. ”
"I know what I have to do, and you don't have to remind me over and over again. Sancho was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to get angry with Macora.
"Hey, Master Yepes said before he left, it's up to you to decide what the Black Mountain mage does. Then you say, how are you going to act today? ”
"This Xiao Chen had been hiding in his house for a few days before and didn't go out, but today he suddenly went out to the banquet. Don't you think it's weird? Could this be a trap?"
Macora's heart tightened, and he asked rhetorically, "If it's a trap, who does he expect to deal with? How would he know that today is the day of our operation?"
"It's hard to say, there are so many people involved in this matter, it's hard to say who leaked the news......"
"Sancho, apart from your people, only me and Prato's men know about this matter. Do you not believe me, nor can you trust him, or do you not trust our men? Do you think someone would betray the Temple of Nature, betray the Shadowbolts, and get involved with a young mage with no background? Who do you think would be so stupid?"
"This ...... I just think there might be an omission. "We are all people in the shadows, and you know for yourself how much important information has been leaked out of a few casual words by a seemingly inconsequential person." I just think that mage is acting abnormally, what are you excited about?"
"Because you've moved your brain to my people. Macora patted his chest and said, "I don't know how others manage people, but my Macora subordinates will not suffer this kind of grievance." I'm not like some people, looking back, I see that all my subordinates are dead and wounded, and they are all killed by him. ”
"You!"
"Keep your mouth shut, or I will take away my people, lest you do any bad thing." Macora sneered.
The surrounding Assassins seemed to be clearly oriented towards Macora, and Sancho had to swallow his anger for the sake of the bigger picture.
Seeing that the other party was still unconvinced, Macora thought for a moment, and thought of another reason: "You don't want to think about it, even if they know the news? Where did he find someone to fight against the Shadow Order? Mercenary? Magician? Who would dare? I think his most likely purpose today is to seek refuge in the Alonso family." Just convince Miss Tasia, then hide in the Alonso family's territory, and find a few people to talk to the priests of the temple, and you won't stand a chance. ”
"The Alonso family ......" Sancho has naturally heard this thunderous name. This mage family is not only powerful, but also very rich, operating several high-grade magic crystal mines near Balwa City. No one wanted to offend such a family, and he asked, "Is it possible that Miss Tasia will agree to him?"
"Of course, don't you say that Xiao Chen is not an ordinary mid-level mage, and his talent is very high? As long as this kind of person is willing to pull down his face to take refuge, who wouldn't want to? Not to mention that he also has a few powerful subordinates, and he will definitely take refuge in the past together. The strength of his subordinates surpasses that of many ordinary noble families, and the strength of the ordinary baron and viscount can be used, how can he kill the six of us so easily?"
"It seems that this issue must be resolved today. Sancho thought for a moment and then made a decision: "Our troops are divided into two routes, I will lead people to ambush Xiao Chen, you let Prato continue to raid the house, as long as you catch it alive, you will retreat." ”
"Why don't you take everyone with you?" said Macora, puzzled.
"Because the magician has too many strange methods, if a group of us pounce on us, he will run away with a teleportation magic. Isn't that a lack of capture? Dividing the troops into two places can at least guarantee some gains. Sancho said.
"Hmph, you can arrange it. Macora said.
Half an hour later, they saw Xiao Chen get into a carriage and leave the office. Sancho followed with five of his men.
