Chapter 176: Assassination
Raymond went to the palace in a hurry, and with Daphne's relationship, Raymond, who was already very valued, was even more unrestricted in entering and leaving the palace.
No one knows what the deal was made with the king, but the old servants who served the king were surprised to find that the king was smiling happily after Raymond left.
"Take it! Your share is a total of 10,000 gold coins!"
At midnight, although Raymond, who had been busy for a day, was full of exhaustion on his face, but his eyes were full of excitement, he didn't think that his brother would be able to bring him such a big credit when he came back this time, with his military exploits in recent years and the design of this can, Raymond's title has been promoted from a third-class earl to a first-class, with his age to reach this kind of title, even a calm person like Raymond will inevitably be excited.
"Thanks, now that the money is in hand, it's time for me to leave. ”
After receiving the crystal card handed by Raymond, Sojes got up and said goodbye despite Raymond and Daphne's retention, but Genevia had already fallen asleep, and Sojes did not wake her up, but told Raymond to let her go directly to the port to find him after waking up tomorrow, and then went to the comptoir alone.
"Is it true that I've been out to sea for too long and have forgotten the night view of my hometown......
Walking alone on the road, Sorges was rarely interested in admiring the night of the imperial capital, at this time he suddenly regretted not bringing Genevia out, such a quiet night, if there is a beloved girl by his side, it will indeed make people feel very happy, of course, it will also make people unforgettable.
Unlike the Pirate City, there is hardly a single person on the streets of the Imperial Capital at night, and the rare tranquility makes Sogers, a pirate who has become accustomed to the noise, very enjoyable.
"It's good to have some quiet time once in a while......"
Thinking so, Sojes walked leisurely on the road of the imperial capital, it was rare that he didn't think about the team, he didn't think about anything in his heart, and walked towards the position of the Bauhinia Trading House so relaxed.
After walking two streets, less than three kilometers away is the headquarters of the Bauhinia Firm, which is unusually wide because it is the main road.
Suddenly, Sorjes stopped, and for some reason, the street, which had not been silent all the way, made him feel depressed.
No sound?
Sorges finally knows the source of this oppression!
It's the height of summer, and the greening work in the imperial capital is handled very well, and it's impossible not to even hear the sound of insects!
However, there was no sound now, neither the barking of the hounds in the nobles' courtyards......
The chirping of insects hidden in the trees is also good......
I can't hear any of them......
With a plan in mind, Sojes had raised his vigilance to the limit, and there were so many abnormal actions that he could really kill himself if he couldn't guess what was going on.
"When I get back home, there are still people who dare to assassinate me, is it Deborah's bastard's family, or is it ...... Those pirate hunters somewhere who have been carried away by profit?" Sojes stepped forward again, his hands waving, but the nerves in his arms tensed, and he was ready to draw his sword as fast as he could...... Fight the enemy!
As soon as the thought of killing the enemy arose, Sojes's sword had already slashed back behind him, and there were beads of blood on the blade, but he was not satisfied, and not only that, but it made his brow furrow.
As an excellent swordsman, as a pirate with more than a thousand lives under his hands, even if he didn't look back, he judged that his attack had not killed the opponent just by the feeling of his sword.
This time, the opponent is very strong!
What is strange is that Sorjes's heart is unprecedentedly peaceful, he knows very well that this time he has encountered an unprecedented enemy, the speed of the opponent's attack, The strength of the murderous aura and the strength of the dagger hitting the sword body, Sojes judged that the opponent's fighting spirit level was about the same as his own, but the speed of the assassin was not comparable to his own at all, the sword just now could be said to have done his best, faster than any sword he had ever had, but the other party was only slightly injured in the defenseless, and after being injured, he could not reveal his identity.
"Those noble families, there shouldn't be such strong dead soldiers......"
Thinking in his heart that he might have offended the forces that he had already offended, Sojes held his sword behind his back, the blade of the sword was close to his back, the blade of the heavy sword was wide, compared to the knight's sword and the thin sword and the normal one-handed sword, although the heavy sword would affect the attack speed, it also had an advantage that the other swords did not have.
That is, like the giant axe, it has a natural defensive area!
The success of the assassination often lies in its surprise, and it does not mean that the strength of the assassin is necessarily stronger than that of the assassin, and now that Saujes has detected the assassination and has successfully counterattacked, the opponent's advantage in the shadows has been lost.
However, this does not mean that Sojers is safe, in fact, he is now trying his best to judge all the actions of the other party, whether it is a frontal assassination, or a side, or a back, whether it is a hidden arrow or a close kill?
Or does the other party simply choose to retreat?
Defending against the opponent's attack again, Sojes clearly felt that the opponent's strength had decreased, and sensing that he might choose to retreat, Sojes made up his mind that the next time the other party attacked again, he only needed to avoid the vital point, and at that time, even if he was injured, he would kill the other party!
If this assassin knows what Sojes thinks in his heart, he will definitely regard this guy as a madman, in fact, after defending against the first round of assassination by the assassin, it is indeed normal to wait for the opportunity to fight back, but that is based on the premise that he is sure enough to kill, the vast majority of the assassinated will choose to flee after successfully defending, because no one knows how many people are on the assassination side, and there is almost no way back like Sojes.
Forcing himself to relax his body, Sorjes deliberately swung out the sword posture that he was accustomed to defending, of course, his sword momentum did not show obvious flaws, but for an assassin who is proficient in assassination, the same trick will reveal the flaw as long as it is used once completely, for the assassin, the flaw deliberately revealed by the other party is actually more like a trap that leads him to death, only the flaw they find out from the opponent's trick is the most credible.
Before, Ulugy had explained some of the assassin's offensive methods to Sogers, but the two of them didn't expect that this was just a short time apart, and these experiences were all used by Sogers, and what Sogers had to do was to let the other party find his so-called flaws, and make a life-for-injury fight at the moment when the other party launched an attack!
However, the assassin did not know what Sojas was planning after all, and after Sojers unleashed the guard-style sword for the second time, the assassin who thought he had seized the opportunity showed a fierce light, and the dagger in his hand slammed into his vest at a speed that ordinary people could not see with the naked eye!
Sojes deliberately exposed the flaws, in order to come to this moment, the sword intent that had been released had no intention of retracting, and he poured all his remaining fighting energy into his arms.
"Okay! It's going to be done!" the Assassin was ecstatic in his heart, the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters at this time, which was equivalent to a close distance for a fourth-order assassin who specialized in assassination!
Of course, at such a close distance, Sojes also sensed the cold air hitting his back, and at this time, he did not move, not even his body moved.
At this time, the dagger was less than five meters away from the vest, and Sojers still did not move.
This distance meant imminent success for an assassin, and correspondingly, it also meant the loss of a way out, and at this time, the sword qi that Sojers had already continued for a long time had a total of forty-five paths, from all directions, from the raised armpit or even from the top of his head to the back, and rushed to the assassin behind him!
With the roar of the sword qi, the assassin who was caught off guard was shocked by the sword qi and deflected the dagger, and almost at the same moment, both the assassin's dagger and Sojess's sword qi hit the opponent's body.
