There is a lot of traffic and a lot of people. The closer you get to the imperial capital, the more congested the traffic becomes. After all, it is the economic center of Rune.

In addition, Wayne did not reveal his identity, so none of the people around him gave way, and everyone was in a hurry. But there are still people who can see that Wayne is not ordinary, and there are more than seventy majestic and fierce guards around him, who are carrying spears, and they must not be ordinary people. I just didn't say it.

Wayne was squeezed in the middle, unable to go up or down, unable to advance or retreat. Fortunately, the weather was good today, and Wayne was able to wait patiently for the crowd to finish slowly.

"Let one go, let one go. ”

A carriage with several large boxes tied to it rushed over quickly and immediately hit several people. It is an already congested passage, and it is even more crowded.

There was a burst of scolding.

"You don't know how to drive. ”

"I didn't see it blocked, and I rushed in. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, be considerate and considerate. ”

Wayne glanced at it and sneered.

Just when the attention of the crowd was attracted to it, just beside Wayne, several people suddenly burst out, took out the long knives and hidden weapons that had been hidden for a long time, rose into the air, stepped on the crowd, and rushed straight towards Wayne. Wayne could even feel the murderous aura in his face and hurriedly put on his helmet.

Just when they thought they could be caught off guard and easily complete the task, there was a bang—a few gunshots. Several of the terrifying Assassins burst into blood. Fell directly and fell to the ground and died.

The crowd was so frightened by the sudden turn of events that they scattered in a hurry, screaming and exclamations mixed together. The scene was suddenly chaotic. But Wayne's guards remained immobile in the crowd, and at the same time wary of the moment in the shadows.

Soon with Wayne as the center, a blank area with a radius of 40 meters appeared. Only a dozen or so figures moved quickly, and it was obvious that this was the moment.

Phew-

Several poison darts flew from all directions, and the speed was too fast to catch with the naked eye, and only the hiss of them could be roughly heard as they slashed through the air. They aimed at the back of Wayne's head, chest, and lower body. Darts are deadly!

ti——king——

The darts that I thought could be inserted into the flesh were all bounced off. Frightened, Wayne broke out in a cold sweat, it seems that the quality of this special steel is still good.

By this time, the Assassins had lost their best time to assassinate, and the guards had already placed him in a tight position. So unfortunately it was difficult for him to see the Assassin's appearance. The guard, who had just shot down the assassin accurately, quickly took out the bullet and put it in the magazine, and pushed the bolt of the gun with a click, pushing the bullet into the chamber.

Bang bang –

Several more gunshots rang out, but Wayne didn't hear the screams, indicating that the enemy must be hiding. This is confirmed by the Captain's report.

"Lord Earl, the enemy has gone into hiding, and we don't know their exact number yet. Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is better to trouble the Earl to dismount, and the goal is smaller, and it is safer. ”

Wayne quickly climbed off the horse, his life was at stake.

At this time, the guards also dispersed with confidence, and several guards had already rushed towards the enemy on horseback.

The rest of the men kept firing for cover, and the Assassin hid behind the carriage, risking being hit, poking his head out and firing a few arrows with difficulty. Apparently it didn't help, Wayne wasn't so poor that he only wore himself in inner armor.

In an instant, several sab-carrying guards circled the back of the carriage, swords in hand entangled with the Assassins.

The Assassin dodged constantly, seizing the gap and attacking the guards. And the guards are not easy to mess with, they are originally a good hand, plus the inner armor, like a tiger with wings, firmly occupy the upper hand. Several Assassins have been killed.

And the guards also advanced from the other side with muskets, apparently to deal with the enemy on both sides in one go. The assassins were suppressed to the death, and if they didn't fight back, they would be beaten to death. Gritting his teeth, he took out a few black and fist-sized iron bumps. Pull the lead and throw it out in unison.

"Not good, grenade. Get down. ”

With a bang, a burst of fire flashed away.

"Dumb Thunder. ”

Only one of the few grenades thrown out exploded, and like a cannonball, it was not very powerful.

"Brothers, give it to me, these bird thieves are scaring us. ”

For a while, there was a loud burst of gunfire and fire.

After hearing a few screams, the battle ended.

It only takes about two minutes from the beginning to the end.

The chief of the guard also breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully.

"Lord Earl, the Assassins have been cleared and safe. ”

Wayne applauded.

"It's all done well, go back to Marco to get the bonus. ”

The chief of the guard said in surprise.

"Lord Xie. ”

"By the way, the brothers are dead or wounded. ”

"It's just some skin trauma, it's not a big deal. ”

Wayne nodded.

"That's good, collect the exploded grenade for me, the dumb mine is exploded with a gun, and it's dangerous to keep it. ”

"Yes. ”

Wayne took a closer look at the grenades that had been blown to pieces, some of which were still smoking. Apparently this grenade is not qualified. The power of the grenade comes not only from the explosion of gunpowder, but more importantly, the steel balls inside, as well as the shell that can explode into a casual shell. These are the weapons of destruction. Obviously, the person who made the grenade did not get the real grenade, but just made a replica of the gourd. And the quality is not good, just a few grenades did not explode.

It seems that those nobles who secretly learned their own technology have a lower level of technology than they imagined. You can't even make a grenade. But the quality of the steel is good, and they should already have a small blast furnace or something like that. A few years ago, a few scholars who did this kind of research disappeared, and it seems that they are doing well there. Fortunately, the military talents were hidden by him, otherwise there would have been zero casualties today. He was never afraid of the aristocracy stealing technology, and the greatest power of industry lies in scale. During World War II, the United States used Sherman to pile up the advanced German Leopard tank alive. War is about attrition, and one or two cutting-edge technologies are not used at all, and if they cannot be formed on a large scale, they will never be able to form a decisive force. Except, of course, for a few strategic-class weapons.

After analyzing it, Wayne continued on his way, not wanting to delay his trip because of a few assassins, it was not worth it.

Due to the assassins' assassinations, there were no people on the road, and Wayne walked comfortably. It seems that the assassination is not all bad. Wayne thought relaxedly.

Some time ago, the assassination of Lambage failed, and this time the well-planned assassination failed again. Wayne had only more than seventy people around him, compared to the other escorts who often numbered a few hundred. It was a crispy piece of paper, but none of the dozens of carefully cultivated killers sent out had returned. It can be seen that the operation has failed again, and this pile of ancient Assassin organizations is undoubtedly a huge blow.

If Besson was here, he would have replied directly.

"What a sniper can do, why is it so troublesome, like a pig. ”

"What? You don't even have a sniper rifle, so let's go home and farm. ”
