Chapter 280: It's Time to Work
Su Wen's actions during this period can be regarded as a typical black eating black. Although the long-term involvement of the two empires in Mtase City is dirty, he himself has not been able to go anywhere, and he still knows this, so from the very beginning, he has been fully prepared to be blacked out and blacked.
Then, if the black hand on his side is down, he should meet the counterattack of the other party at any time.
This is a war that is absolutely not exposed to the sun, and because of this, it is bound to be more bloody and more unscrupulous. The brief calm was only a prelude to the storm, and the Xihuai Empire's reaction, from the initial spying intelligence, to launching the investigation of the forces in the city, to secretly sending a bait-like salted fish wargroup to infiltrate, each action was more intense and aggressive than the last one. Out of the consideration that they must not be exposed, they have to carefully deal with unknown enemies, but Su Wen clearly knows that the current Xihuai Empire is like a cautious hunter, and the moves used are just flickering, don't look at these three actions are easily solved by themselves, but if any of them show flaws: for example, the spies in Mtase City have not been purged in large numbers, the major gangs have not been suppressed, or the military mage wargroup that has sneaked in is not discovered in time, and then it will be attacked like a thunderbolt.
After all, no matter how you say it, the living force of a country can't only have a few magic masters on the surface who can't be called at will.
For example, now, the fourth action from the Xihuai Empire, which is also the fourth temptation, is far from being as easy to solve as the previous three.
After three defeats, the other party can at least draw a lot of useful conclusions, such as the forces occupying Mtase City must have Magister-level combat power, such as the information revealed by Su Wen about the Tasuri Magister, and ...... Well, there's really nothing more like that. Even Lucius had only seen "Tasuri", an uninvited guest who suddenly appeared, and he was still a little confused, and no matter how good his hands and eyes were, it was impossible for others to find more useful information from the name Tasuri so quickly.
So to be on the safe side, the power they sent this time was naturally also a magister-level power.
Not an orthodox magister, though.
There are so few examples of orthodox magisters who are not registered, and even the Duolun Empire may not be able to get them, let alone small countries like the Xihuai Empire or the Principality of Marda. However, although there is no orthodox magister, there is more than one magister-level power, such as the extraordinary knight on another path, the legendary assassin and archer who go off the rails, and the battle mage of various magic tools, these people have abandoned the understanding of elemental magic and focused on a more practical path rather than exploring the essence, although the end of the road is far from being comparable to the never-ending orthodox mage, but if you want to reach the magister-level combat power, as long as you have enough talent and acquired efforts, it is not impossible。
And this time it was a legendary assassin who came to Mtase City.
Most of the legendary Assassins were little-known figures, after all, for such creatures that lived in the shadows, fame meant near-death. Most of them serve large organizations or nations, and a handful of them become followers of orthodox magicians, enjoying the lucrative and protective side of their employers' disgraceful and troublesome matters – and today's guests are no exception.
He did not have a fixed name, and served directly to the king of Xihuai, and even within the Xihuai Empire, very few people knew of his existence. Now that he has come to Mtasai City alone, he naturally has a clear purpose: not to spy on more information, or to find out and kill the mastermind behind the seizure of Mtase City, but just to regain the dignity of the Xihuai Empire that was slapped in the face not long ago.
Just about a week ago, in the inner city of the royal capital of the Xihuai Empire, the main members of the Lucius family were taken out in a grand manner, and the whole process was not discovered until after the incident at the east window of Mthase City. When the angry king ordered Lucius's family to be summoned, the mansion, which had been secretly watched, was discovered by the executors that it had long been empty.
What a shame it was, even worse than the fork in the city of Mtase, far away, which was not the first time it had happened, and the Principality of Marda alone had done it several times, but it was the first time that someone had been stolen right under his nose. This not only shows that the city lord Lucius has rebelled, but also has been swollen in the face by others and walked away, which is unbearable!
Therefore, someone has to pay for it.
The time is not ripe to kill the mastermind behind the assassination or Lucius, who is obviously closely protected, so the target is naturally on these family members who have been taken away. Such a goal is not only easier to achieve, but also can be slapped back in the face, and by the way, it can also test the level of the so-called behind-the-scenes forces, whether they are defenseless against the assassination operation, and it is undoubtedly an operation that kills many birds with one stone.
As for the possibility of the Xihuai Empire making such an action, Su Wen had already thought about it before he started, and he was almost 100% sure that they would do it, so it took a lot of effort to settle Lucius's family. Not only was a large number of high-precision tactical reconnaissance equipment arranged around it, but also multiple layers of security were installed, ranging from bio-sensing cannons to electromagnetic traps, so the assassin had only appeared within 500 meters of the family's mansion and was already completely exposed to Su Wen's sight.
And that was last night, almost at the same time as the mage warband of the Xihuai Empire was wiped out, the assassin entered the city of Mtase, and was then captured by a reconnaissance system near the mansion half an hour later. Su Wen knew that this was stepping on the spot, so in order not to startle the snake, he took it as if nothing had happened, and after a short observation, the assassin quietly left, and found a foothold in the city of Mtase and made preparations......
It wasn't until noon today that the assassination really began.
When Su Wen said that sentence to Xiao Shi just now, the assassin had just stepped out of the door, and calculating the distance, when Su Wen and Xiao Shi arrived at the mansion located in the mansion in the inner city, they were just in time to meet each other.
So they set out at once.
......
"Listen, if you want me to help you regain your strength, then show a little sincerity, as an undead lord who can pinch the Magister with one hand on average, no matter how weak you are, don't tell me that you don't even have a way to deal with an assassin. Even if you really lose your offensive ability, if you can't do it with the equipment I gave you, then you can really only come to me as cannon fodder for self-explosion, and it is worthless beyond that. ”
On the way out of the experimental base, Su Wen said to Xiao Shi.
He knew that this slime was very good at showing weakness and fishing, and if he hadn't known about it for a long time, anyone would have felt that it was a harmless mascot. And looking at the way it was eager to try just now, it was obviously not in a hurry to kill the enemy, but to cheer behind him, if such cannon fodder was brought it would be meaningless, there was just an object that could be tried, and Su Wen could not let Xiao Shi be idle.
Xiao Shi obviously also knows how to measure, she patted the rainbow-colored steel giant beast in her hand, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Dad, it's enough to have this weapon called Gatling, see how I shoot it." If not, Bazooka, even if a Legendary-level assassin could see that he was hiding in a spatial rift, in the violent explosion, he would realize that his situation was not safe. ”
"Then I'll rest assured, take care of you. ”
Ten minutes later, the two left the City Lord's Mansion in an open-top SUV and crossed several gorgeous streets with beautiful scenery to the wealthy area of the inner city.
This area is full of all kinds of mansions, and there are various courtyards and gardens in between, and it is clear at a glance that not everyone is qualified to come, and there is almost no sign that the poor are forbidden to enter. This is mostly the industry of the bigwigs in the city, and there are also foreign tyrants who buy here as a foothold for pleasure, as the family of the city lord Lucius, it is very suitable to live here, not only the environment is quiet, but also there are well-guarded checkpoints around the entrance, and the idle people cannot enter at all, especially recently for some reasons, the security force is multiplied......
Of course, the above is just Lucius's point of view, Su Wen did not tell him any of his plans, including additional protection for his family, so Lucius will be sad all day long, not only worried about his own safety, but also trying to increase the security force for his family to prevent any accidents. Su Wen could think that the Xihuai Empire might make a move, how could he not think of it?
But in fact, these arrangements can be regarded as an iron bucket array in the eyes of ordinary people, but for a legendary assassin who has premeditated it, it is no different from papier-mâché. Unless Lucius shoved his family into an isolated part of the inner city and cut off their contact with the rest of the population entirely, the Assassins wanted to mix in with them as if they were playing. But if Lucius really did that, not to mention whether the protected person himself has an opinion on this, and the legendary assassin does not have only one means of assassination, and if he can't get in, then he chooses to sneak in at the trouble point, and then I'm afraid that when his family dies, it will take a while for the corpse to stink before he can be found.
So Lucius was also desperate, Su Wen could clearly feel that during this time, his mental pressure was huge, and his hair was much paler.
This was also the reason why Su Wen had put the Assassin in - with his current ability, if the enemy was in the open and in the dark, he could have pinched the Assassin to death as soon as he discovered it. The reason why he stayed until now was to prove to Lucius how vulnerable his protective abilities really were, and what kind of protection he could give him: many times, prevention is the most thankless thing to do.
It is true that as long as Lucius's family stays at home, the automatic defense system can ensure their lives, and if he wants to keep a legendary assassin, he can only take the initiative, so he needs to bring Xiao Shi with him himself. The time was just right, and when the huge three-story mansion first appeared in Su Wen's sight, he also saw a luxurious carriage coming from a distance.
Su Wen didn't stop, his locomotive was much faster than the horse-drawn carriage, so he passed directly by the mansion of Lucius's family, and then drove nearly a hundred meters before passing by the horse-drawn carriage.
This carriage was obviously sent by the City Lord's Mansion, and it was naturally instructed by Lucius, after all, how the family is closely protected, and always has to go about their daily life, which will produce consumption and garbage. Every day at noon, the carriage would enter the regal district after a strict inspection, and then hand over supplies and waste under the protection of guards and guards, which was the only possible opportunity for the people in the mansion to come into contact with the outside world.
The same is true today, no different than usual.
However, Su Wen knew that the quartermaster who sat in the carriage and personally handled the matter, and who had been trusted and respected by Lucius for many years, was no longer himself.
"Do you notice anything?"
In the off-road vehicle, Su Wen asked Xiao Shi knowingly.
Xiao Shi nodded strangely.
"Of course I noticed it, but Dad, why didn't we just make a move, if we just let him in, the people inside will suffer. ”
"Don't worry, he can't do anything, you just need to leave him behind while he retreats. After Su Wen finished speaking, he added, "To live." ”
"Oh!"
