Chapter Ninety-Six: Another Batch of Assassins on

readx;

The bolt was just hit by Fidel's medallion, changing its flight path slightly, hitting the clergy of the Church, and instantly claiming the life of this kind and kind priest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info The others were in a mess as well, and the assassin also turned around and hid in the crowd after shooting the priest dead, taking advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Commander!" Lukka and Nur surrounded him, holding weapons and shields, and Vittorio also hid behind Fit, because he was relatively short, so even if a dense number of arrows suddenly shot in front of him, he would not hurt him half a point.

"Catch the Assassin, catch the Assassin hiding in the crowd!" shouted Count Endrida, but the nobleman's voice was immediately drowned out by the shouts of the crowd. Standing next to Count Endrida, and standing beside the priest at the same time, Herman was already so frightened that he wet his pants. The crossbow bolt had suddenly changed direction, and he had better luck than the priest, otherwise he would have died here by now.

The new leader of the mermaid mercenary group, Dockery, rushed down quickly, and his mercenaries took Dockery's weapons and stabbed them into the crowd. The mercenaries of the other mercenary groups also rushed around, eager to catch the assassin immediately--the leaders of dozens of mercenary groups were attacked by the rebel assassins, and they didn't even catch a single assassin! The mercenary groups in Dumu City have long become a joke in the surrounding cities, and the mercenary groups in other places treat them as babies who can only cry and cry.

"If we don't catch that assassin, we won't have the face to stay here!" shouted a new regimental commander as he raised his sword and rushed into the crowd, causing the townspeople to slam into the streets on either side with their heads in their hands.

Feder didn't let his men pursue, he just slowly walked to the priest's corpse and picked up the potato medal that didn't go far away. The medal was not damaged, and it seemed that the squad leader Toto was really good at his skills. As for the priest's body, there was no sign of poisoning, but the turning crossbow arrow happened to hit the priest's heart.

"Commander, let's retreat first. Luca suggested.

Count Endrida and Herman had already evacuated under the protection of the guards, and the grand funeral that had been mourning the mercenary captains turned into chaos, and even those carrying the coffins had run away, leaving only the mercenary captains waiting to be buried in the ground. Unfortunately, there is one more body waiting to be buried.

As soon as Feder and his men returned to the room in the dormitory, Winoti walked into the room quickly, and said with an excited expression: "This poison has an antidote! I have developed it!" This sounds definitely good news, Luca and Patrick both came over and praised the team leader Winotchy, who was a little embarrassed by everyone's praise.

Selena said: "It's good news for us, but this successfully developed antidote must not be made public." ā€

"Why?" was a mixture of cold water on Winotki's excitement.

The others also understood Selena's words after a brief pause - if the Potato Mercenaries had the antidote to the poison, they would be suspected by the suspicious that they were actually in collusion with the Rebel Assassins. And waiting until all the mercenary captains are dead before taking out the antidote, it is also a bit of a pretentious feeling.

"I don't think so," said Noor, after thinking for a moment, "those people have no evidence that this antidote was given to us by the rebels, and we developed it ourselves!"

"They don't trust us anymore, and even if that's the truth, will they listen?, those mercenaries will only believe what they want to believe, and that's what happened in the Iron Ore Mountains," Selena said firmly, "and most importantly, those mercenaries have already become our potential enemies, and it won't do us any good to give them this antidote now." ā€

Most of the other captains agreed with Selena that it was better to keep the antidote to this deadly poison for their own internal use. After Winoki understood what the other captains meant, she told everyone how to use the antidote, and she planned to prepare some more antidote in case of emergency.

"Vittorio, something happened during your absence, and you, as the deputy head of the regiment, should find out first. Fidel looked at Vittorio, who did not feel the slightest sense of relief when he returned from vacation, but instead implied a nervousness and uneasiness under the calm surface, as if he had now been targeted by the Assassins, and was just pretending to be calm in front of everyone.

Vittorio nodded, and his curls shook with it. Then the other captains left Fidel's room one by one, and only Lukka was still standing, indicating that he had something important to report.

"Is it about Newt?"

"That's right, just as we were retreating to the dormitory, a child came up to me and handed it to me, and my subordinates didn't see it. ā€

"It's okay, you look at it first. ā€

Lukka then opened the secret letter, and Fidel read it after Lukka finished reading it, "Let Patrick come over too." ā€

"Yes, Captain. ā€

Secret letters mention that only two Assassins were sent to Dutim by the rebel leader, one of them against Fidel and the other against the others. As for the large-scale attack on Dutim, Newt and their intelligence are out of Newt's grasp, and they are investigating whether the rebels have sent two groups of Assassins to carry out different missions. Newt hopes that Fed will be able to capture the rebel assassins who are about to approach the Potato Mercenary Regiment, and if the information is correct, it may appear within a few days. On the other hand, there may have been a recent mercenary house who sent a mission to Fid to exterminate the thieves, who were actually controlled by the rebels in order to lure the potato mercenaries out of Dutim City and then ambush Fid's mercenaries at a predetermined location.

The two conspiracies against the Potato Mercenaries mentioned in the secret letter could not be clearer, and Newt said that he would arrange for the regular army to capture any rebels who might have status on the way to the thief's stronghold, and that Feder only had to follow the instructions of the mission.

"It seems that everything is under control, as long as we follow the plan of the Peace Grave Military Academy, our potato mercenary group will definitely not fall into the trap of the rebels. Lukka looked at the terrain of the thief's stronghold, it seemed to be just a village and some rivers, and it was difficult to stop more than two thousand mercenaries on such flat ground, so the ambush must have been in the middle of the road.

"It seems so," Patrick folded his hands over his chest, "the secrets of the leaders of the rebels have been leaked to these people, and how can the leaders who have no secrets to speak of accomplish great things." ā€

Feder double-checked the letter to make sure it was written exactly the same as Newt had given him before throwing it into the fire. The letter about the Assassins made Fei De very concerned, if the leader of the rebel army sent an Assassin against him, then what about the dozens of Assassins a few days ago? Another Assassin was also sent to Dumu City, and who was his target?

As Fei thought about these questions, he always thought of Ayana, who was still in the hospital. Ayana was seriously injured and would have been unable to get out of bed for a short period of time, and if it weren't for the medical equipment, Fidel would definitely not have left the other party in the dangerous hospital.

"Luka, you send twenty more people to the hospital to protect Ayana and Ligu. ā€

"Subordinates obey!"

In the middle of the night, the oil lamp was still on in Feide's room, and he was still flipping through various books. As soon as the scholars of the Dumu City Library heard that Captain Fei liked to read, they all sent all kinds of books in person, in fact, Fei De didn't like to read, he just liked to know some things that he was interested in, and if someone told him or explained those things to him, it was also a good choice.

By the time Feder put a book on setting up mechanisms back on the bookcase, Feder had already noticed that there was an extra person in his room.

Fei De didn't hesitate, he picked up the "silence" next to the bookcase with his right hand that had recovered from his wounds, and drew the two-handed sword the moment he turned around.

The Assassin who had infiltrated Field's room did not hesitate, and the short crossbow he held in his hand had already "whizzed" out two bursts of crossbow arrows. One shot at Fidel's black armor, and the other was blocked by the "silence" that stood in front of him. The Assassin tossed his crossbow aside, reached out and drew the sword behind his back, and lunged at Fidd, stabbing him in the throat!

But at the same moment, the floor in front of the wooden table suddenly recessed, and a fishing net popped out from the wooden cabinet next to the bookcase, flying towards the assassin who fell into the sunken plank half of his body, directly covering the assassin with his sword and man. Fidel didn't give the other party any chance, and the sword in his hand had already stabbed out, stopping in front of the assassin.

The Assassin ignored Fidel's threats and tried to break free from the net, but the mercenaries who rushed in from outside the door immediately surrounded the Assassin and grabbed him by both hands, preventing him from moving.

"Capture the rebel assassin alive!" Noor and Lukka walked into the room together, and Fid nodded to them, apparently the Potato Mercenary Regiment had already made arrangements to wait for the assassin to be caught.

Noor clapped his hands with a grin, and he walked up to Fidel's side and said, "That guy Toto really has two strokes, not only has he developed a ballista cart, but he can also make these hidden mechanisms, if I fall into this kind of pit that suddenly sinks, I will definitely be caught!"

"Commander, my subordinates will check if there are any other dangerous things on him. Lukka waved his hand and let some of the mercenaries out of the room. He slowly walked towards the Assassin, who was still writhing desperately, but it was impossible to break free under the pincers of the four strong mercenaries.

"It's a female assassin. Lukka noticed that the Assassin's shirt was propped up, and without hesitation, he ripped off the black cloth that covered half of the Assassin's face.

"Let go of me, you butchers!"

The curse was not surprising, but surprisingly, the Assassin had a face similar to Vittorio's, but of a different gender.
