The war had progressed somewhat, and the orc army had won, which was great news for the king, and for the young man, he was not stingy at all, and the title of prince made Tangning's status even more noble.

It is not surprising, but An Ruida's means are not only like this, otherwise there is no need to go to the east to ask for help, and at this time we have to continue to lay out and prepare for An Ruida's escape.

Galen Stark and SauronStark's mission is not going too well, and it is not easy to assassinate anyone in a large-scale war, especially those guys from the Holy See, most of the hunters have now gathered in the Holy City, but the heightened security level has left them in hiding.

Now the Hunter Organization is about to become a Rogue Assassin Organization, but the Hunter Organization obviously does not have the same excellent assassination methods as the Rogue Assassin Organization.

The two leaders, Galen Stark and Sauron Stark, had to reformulate their plans, and the target was temporarily shifted from the Pope to some cardinals.

Lowering the target might make the operation more effective as soon as possible, which would encourage demoralized hunter members, and the Holy City had a curfew in place at night, and no one was allowed to roam the streets after 7 p.m., or they would be arrested and thrown into prison without trial as a spy of the king.

But the way to come out is very simple, you only need to pay the ransom, His Majesty the Pope is too short of money now, try every means to get money, no matter what kind of crime is committed in the Holy City prison, as long as you can come up with the money.

And these are clearly marked prices, for example, murderers pay 5,000 gold Caesars, those who disrespect the Holy See pay 3,000 gold Caesars, and some other violent criminals need to pay 1,000 gold Caesars, if they are only locked up for a few days, they only need to pay 100 gold Caesars, and the above bail money can be discounted.

At night, the streets of the Holy City were empty, and only a small number of temporarily recruited followers were responsible for maintaining law and order here, and all the paladins were sent to the front line to fight, and it was not difficult for hunters to deal with these temporarily recruited believers.

When a group of believers passed through a dark alley and was stopped by a sudden figure, the believers immediately raised their weapons as if they were facing a great enemy.

It's just that before they could react, the believers were already stunned by a group of figures that suddenly appeared behind them, and someone looked at the believers who had fainted and complained: "Boss, why don't you kill them directly, anyway, we are now on the side of the king, these are all enemies." ”

"Of course, when the Holy See is strong, they are believers, but when the king is strong, they are commoners. The young man, who was the leader, carried the believer on his shoulders and threw them into the garbage. "Don't stand, take care of the scene. ”

Everyone started moving, and Galen Stark looked around. "The target is in the apartment four alleys away, we need to hurry up and not let people find out that something is wrong with the patrolmen. ”

As the elder brother, Sauron Stark agrees with the younger brother. "I don't know how the battle on the front line is, I heard that the orcs have joined our side, those big men don't have enough IQ, but they are much stronger than humans in terms of physical strength. ”

A group of people bypassed the black alley and walked towards the target's apartment, and after about ten minutes, they arrived at the target's apartment, where there were quite a few guards, this time it was not a believer, it was some trained members of the Holy Order, and the Holy See was very careful about the protection of high-ranking personnel.

"Split up, and then we meet at the door. Galenstark gave the order, and the hunters began to move, approaching the separate apartment.

Inside the apartment, the cardinal was in a rather bad mood, the people here did not know about the war on the front line, but he had received the news that the Holy Cult army had lost in the face of the orc army, and that the Pope was wounded and one of his arms had been cut off, which meant that the king would soon be victorious.

When the time comes, all the high-ranking members of the Holy See will be sent to the gallows, hanged in full view, and then the corpses will be dragged to feed to dogs or wild animals, and most unacceptably to his family.

So he had to think of a way, maybe leaving at this time was the only way to survive, to go to some part of the East, and the money he had looted privately was enough to live a good life in the East, and as for the faith, for these people, it was a belief in money and profit, which was learned from the Pope.

Thinking of this, he walked out of the room and looked at his wife, who was busy in the kitchen. "Misha, don't get that, hurry up and get ready, bring some necessities, we need to leave tonight and head to the port. ”

Misha didn't know much about the situation and looked at her husband in surprise. "We have to trust His Majesty the Pope to win the war. ”

"Come on, he's already lost, and it won't be long before those king's soldiers capture the Holy City, and they won't be able to leave if they want to. The cardinal archbishop said in frustration: "Don't waste time, listen to me, hurry up." ”

He turned and walked alone to the child's room, opened the door and saw the sleeping child, who was completely unaware of the war, and hesitated for a moment to enter the door and wake up the child who was already asleep. "Baby, now get dressed, we have to travel, go where you want to go. ”

The children, apparently unable to guess the real reason for their father's actions, jumped up with excitement and began to get dressed, searching for their most beautiful clothes.

The cardinal returned to his room, opened the safe, took out all the gold in the safe, and then put it in his package, and took some magic artifacts for protection, high-level clerical personnel of the Holy See will have some powerful magic tools for protection.

When he was ready, he went out to look at his wife, who was taking out all the clothes in the closet and putting them in the box. "What are you doing, Misha, we're on the run, not traveling, there's no need to bring so many clothes. He walked in briskly and took out all the clothes in the box. "Just take what's important. ”

The children were ready, waiting in the living room, and the cardinal returned to his room, and when he was about to take the box, the box made some strange noises, and when he opened the box, he saw a red compass shining slightly.

The compass came from a mage who was able to predict the danger of approaching, which meant that danger was already approaching, and the cardinal archbishop shivered, and walked to the window, and saw what was happening outside the window, the soldiers of the Holy Order were already lying on the ground in the street below, and some were disposing of the corpses.

These people wanted to do their favor to themselves, and the cardinal immediately understood what was going on, and he quickly ran into the living room, shouting: "Children, follow me, hurry." ”

Then he opened a floor on the floor in the room, and under the floor was a small space, and he turned to pick up the children. "Stay inside, and don't come out later, no matter what happens. ”

"Are we playing hide and seek?" asked a child innocently squatting in a small dark space, raising his head and innocently asking, his face quite excited.

"Yes, we're playing hide and seek, and if Mommy can't find you, I'll grant you a wish. The cardinal closed the lid on the small space.

Then he walked to his wife's room. "Misha, you have to hide too, hurry up, there's no time, you can hide someone in the basement. ”

The basement wasn't safe, but it was much better than being exposed to the murderous ones, and it was possible to get away with it, and the cardinal had to do that.

The wife wanted to ask what was going on, but before she could say anything, the cardinal knocked her unconscious, then put her in a box in the basement, and after everything was ready, he returned to the room, then took the magic equipment out of the box and walked to the door.

With a profuse sweat on his head, his legs trembled again, and he waited for a long time, but he didn't hear a knock on the door, or the door was directly knocked open by the other party.

Didn't those guys plan to come in, he thought, and when he turned around, he saw a group of people sitting on the sofa in the living room, it was the gangsters.

The cardinal archbishop let out an exclamation, and then warned softly, "What are you, get out of my room quickly, or when the Holy Army arrives, you will all be arrested and sent to prison." ”

Galenstark lowered the brim of his hat and stood up to salute respectfully. "If you go to jail, you need to pay a lot of bail, how much will we end up pricing for people like us?"

"Ten thousand, twenty thousand, in short, that's an astronomical amount. The cardinal warned the strange fellows. "It's too high for you to pay. ”

"I don't think the Pope himself is so stupid, he must want money more than we do, and he will definitely offer a price that is attractive enough. Sauron Stark sat on the sofa and teased: "There will be a holiday next month, and the discount will definitely be the lowest at that time, but I don't know if the Holy See will be able to last that long." ”

The cardinal could see that these gangsters didn't care about the warnings, and he looked at them vigilantly. "Who the hell are you, why are you going against the Holy See, the killer of the king?"

"We used to be members of the Holy See, but unfortunately the Holy See is obviously not very good to us, but I have to make it clear that we are not the king's people, and our head belongs to neither the Holy See nor the king. Galen Stark walked up to the cardinal and fiddled with the dagger in his hand.

The cardinal began to attack with the magical instruments, and the red flames burst like the sun, making the air in the room scorching.

Galen Stark had been prepared, the hunters were stronger and more experienced than the average man, and avoided the attack, and someone attacked from behind, stabbing the cardinal in the back with a dagger.

The cardinal was slowly lowered to the ground, and the rest of the group had already begun to search the room, when a strange-sounding floor was noticed by stepping on it, and someone opened the floor.

"What's in there???," someone asked.

"Unbelievable, it's the children of the cardinal, there are four of them. The hunter who had lifted the floor stared at the four innocent children in the dark space.
