Chapter 549: Hatsman
Despite the siege, the expression on Emperor Grievous's face remained calm, without any panicked look. The other five stood in a circle and surrounded Grievous the Great in the center to guard against a surprise attack by the enemy.
"I want to see your chief. He whispered to the Assassins besieging him. "I'm going to make a deal with your leader. ”
However, the Assassins did not respond or want to listen to the Emperor, and they raised their weapons, as if they were ready to attack immediately.
"The deal I'm going to make is about the Violet Family's greatest secret that has been kept for years, involving the mystery of immortality and a fortune that rivals the richness of the country!", the Emperor shouted angrily, "Your leader will definitely be interested in this secret!"
The assassins stopped their movements, slightly commotioning. Originally, if the emperor said something begging for mercy, or bribed officials to make a wish, they would not hesitate to attack according to the orders they received. However, the emperor said such exaggerated and catchy words as "immortal" and "rich and rival the country", which made them hesitate.
After all, there is no one in this world who can resist the temptation of wealth and longevity.
With wealth, you can indulge in life, but the more you enjoy it, the more you will fear the passage of life and the shortness of life. To be able to gain eternal life and squander endless riches is the sweetest bait contained in a short sentence from Grievous the Great.
Grievous the Great raised his hands, showing his weakness that he could not resist. "I want to talk to your leader and make a deal to spare my life. Now that you have an absolute advantage, are you still afraid of the six of us?"
"If he's not there, let me know, and trust me, your leader will be interested in what I'm saying. ", said Grievous the Great in a tone of absolute confidence.
His confident appearance made the Assassins even more afraid to do it directly, and several of them invariably looked in one direction.
"Three o'clock on the right, the man with the hat!", Grievous the Great shouted in one direction, and Gretchev, Frey, Lisbon, and Sriel around him rushed in that direction as fast as arrows from a string, while the chief of the guard followed him closely.
Shoot the man before the horse, capture the thief before the king! Emperor Grievous judged in a short time that the possibility of being trapped by such a well-prepared trap and wanting to force his way through it was very low. At this point, the only feasible way to save yourself is to find and capture the leaders of the Assassins, who may have a way to survive under the trap.
So the deal about "eternal life" and "wealth" was just to confuse the Assassins and reduce their vigilance. When the Emperor made a deal, the Assassins would subconsciously look at their leader, which led the Emperor to confirm his target.
There weren't many people wearing hats present, and the Emperor was sure that the leaders of these assassins would stay on the scene and secretly command such a major assassination, and now it seems that he has won the bet.
This twist and turn of thought was only made in a flash of lightning, and Grievous the Great could not think of the other five to explain. Fortunately, those four people had followed him for many years and had already communicated with him, and they started the moment the emperor shouted.
However, no matter how fast they run, they can't match the speed of magic.
"Get out of the way!", as soon as the Emperor shouted, as soon as Sriel and Frey, who were running ahead, bent down, a huge fireball flew over their heads, and the scorching flames scorched the tips of their hair.
At this moment, in order to grab time, the Emperor directly chose to release the simplest and most powerful magic, trying to open up a path for the few people who attacked in front.
After releasing the fireball technique, the Emperor's mouth was full of words, and he was ready to release the second magic immediately.
The fireball slammed directly into an assassin who hadn't reacted, and the force of the explosion and heat were so powerful that he didn't even let out a scream, and he lost consciousness almost instantly. With the explosion of "bump", the man's body exploded directly, and the scattered bones and flesh painted the land a little red.
Of course, it won't be the last bit of bright red.
And the attack on Lisbon in the four-man group wasted no time, "Lord, in your gift we have become hundred-armed giants, riding lightning to inflict the hammer of justice on the wicked. As he prayed, the magic of "Swift Pace" and "Great Force" was applied to the other three.
As Medea said before, magic is just a kind of magic, and the so-called prayer is just a lie of the magic stick that hides the spell during the period. It is a great irony that this divine art, released in the name of prayer to the Lord, was now being carried out by this apostate and unbeliever of Lisbon.
Gletchev swung his saber at great speed, constantly unleashing strong winds in all directions, sweeping away the hidden weapons that flew towards them. After all, he was already an old man, and his energy was not as good as before, and now he was already out of breath.
Many frightened Assassins had already reacted and hurriedly stood in front of their leader, forming a line of defense. The funny thing is that they were originally the hunting side, but at this time, they attacked and defended and became the defensive side.
However, the Emperor didn't give them a chance, in order not to affect the attacking quartet in front of him and help them break through the defensive line, he directly chose the earth magic that could be released from a distance: "Earth Crack" and "Earth Wall".
The ground on which the Assassins stood suddenly cracked and shattered like broken handmade biscuits. The shattered pieces of earth then turned directly outward into scattered walls of earth, moving the Assassins standing on them straight outward, as if the ground they were standing on had grown legs.
These assassins were caught off guard, and the defense line naturally showed a big gap, and Frey and Sriel, who were already on guard, jumped up directly, like a falcon eagle pounced on a rabbit, and swooped straight towards the hat-man!
Because they want to catch alive, they don't have the ability to use the elements to release out. Just as he jumped into the air, Sriel suddenly said to Frey, who was beside him, "Frey, I'm sorry. ”
"What?", Frey didn't hear clearly, and his attention was entirely focused on the man in front of him.
"I mean, I'm sorry. The silver sword passed through Frey's chest, bringing out a string of tiny, shattered blood flowers that added a new touch of red to the land.
This is not the first red of the day, and certainly not the last.
