Chapter 235: Assassination

In view of the fact that in recent years, the Aragorn Empire has fallen into the dark camp and formed an alliance with the Slovenians, and the Empire of Light has also frequently fallen into disadvantage in the past few years of confrontation. Therefore, various high-ranking officials of the Empire of Light and the Holy See frequently visited the Duchy of Orlando, hoping to find new opportunities.

In recent days, there has been another dispute between the Empire of Light and the Aragon people, and the fighting is extremely fierce. In this context, Cardinal Danielt of the Holy See visited Orlando by order of His Holiness the Pope.

Guayas, a border town in the northwestern part of the Principality of Orlando, is rich in coal and some heavy metals. Due to Guayas's special location, it is located in the hilly region bordering the Empire of Light with Aragon, so a large number of troops are stationed here, and it is naturally an important stop for Bishop Daniel to visit the Duchy of Orlando.

On the second floor of the bustling tavern, a knight in light armor sat quietly in an elegant box. Through the self-pulling curtains of the box, everything in the tavern fell into his sight.

Gently shaking the wine in his hand, the knight's face spread into a professional smile, while his left hand rested casually on a two-handed greatsword, and the knight was none other than Aaron.

It has been more than half a month since he came to the Duchy of Orlando, and there is not much time left before the client gives him, but Aaron is not in a hurry, but has learned about Daniel's information and several towns he wants Li Xu to visit in these days. Now, all he has to do is wait quietly, waiting for the moment when the best time to make a move will come.

One hit kills, the most basic way of a good killer. If you want to be a one-hit kill, then the premise must be based on adequate preparation. Without adequate preparation, it is just a matter of talking about killing with one blow, and it may even bring huge hidden dangers to yourself and even the organization.

A few slight knocks sounded, and Aaron said indifferently: "Please come in!"

The Fourth Elder Duru was a thin but lean middle-aged man, and after carefully closing the gaps in the curtains of the box, he took out a white drawing from his bosom and whispered, "Daniel will arrive in Guayas tomorrow before noon, this is the route map of their convoy." ”

After taking the drawings and going through them carefully, Aaron found that he was familiar with the routes above. In the past half a month, the terrain of the area near Guayas City has long been clearly felt by him, and his eagle-like sharp gaze slowly flows on the drawings, and finally stops on a turning route mark, he smiled slightly, and said, "It's over!"

Duru frowned slightly, but then nodded as if he understood.

After many days of getting along, Aaron discovered that this Duru was actually a person who understood. Know the current situation, know the advance and retreat. Although from the current point of view, the days of Great Elder Beavis are numbered, he can still see the situation clearly from the chaos, and resolutely refuses Vivien, Calvin and others to woo him many times. Because, he believed in Beavis, especially the immortal Shadow Lord......

He knew that even if Beavis's decision was wrong, the newcomer with the full support of Lord Shadow would have a good chance of winning on the side of this newcomer named Angelo.

Like Aaron's knowledge of himself, Durou also conducted an in-depth investigation of "Angelo". The strength of the strength had already made him sigh, and in terms of personality, the calm and ruthlessness of this young man also let him know that he was on the right side this time.

"At such a young age, he is so steady and ruthless, and this kid is more courageous than Beeves to be the leader of the organization. ”

It was Durou's understanding of Aaron's pseudonym "Angelo" that he would willingly help Aaron collect information with all his might, because he was very satisfied with this successor.

Duru added: "In Daniel's team this time, in addition to the people mentioned in the information about the people he brought, we also need to pay attention to the fact that Guayas City sent to meet a priest!" Speaking of that priest, Duru's tone became obviously heavier.

"Priest?" said Aaron, surprised. Like the silver dragon Christina, after seeing the gods, Aaron now has a hint of awe in addition to yearning for things related to gods.

"Yes, you may not know that the Principality of Orlando, although incorporated into our territory, is in fact an independent country except in name. We were abandoned by the god of war, but the Orlandos were unexpectedly accepted by the god of war, and now their main belief in the great beings is the three gods of courage, strength, and war......"

After a pause, Duru said again: "This Hammura priest is the priest of the Temple of the God of War, according to the organization's intelligence, this Hammura is likely to be a war angel who descended on the continent. ”

Aaron's face was not shocked, but the vigilance in his heart suddenly increased. The person who can be praised by the fourth elder of the organization from the bottom of his heart must have something extraordinary. If it was really an advent angel as Duru said, then this Hammura would be difficult to deal with. "Elder, can you tell us about Hammura's situation, and besides, you have arranged the route for evacuating the Duchy of Orlando tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, young man, all the retreat routes are planned by me alone, and there is no leakage problem. As for Hammora the person............"

............

The wind and sand are flying, and the scorching sun is in the sky.

Daniel sat in the carriage with a calm and peaceful face, this time the mission assigned to him by His Majesty the Pope of the Duchy of Orlando has been largely completed, and after visiting the city of Guayas, the visit can be completed and returned.

Climbing to the papal court's cardinal, Daniel is already almost at the pinnacle of power. It's just a small step away from the Pope's seat. Although, this step alone is a thousand miles away, Daniel never thought of snatching the coveted seat from the hands of the current pope. Of course, he never gave up his bid for the papal throne.

According to the practice of the Holy See, only when the pope dies or abdicates the throne can someone else run for the papal throne. Now, His Majesty the Pope's body and bones seem to have reached the point of the last days, and every day is not as good as a day, if he doesn't do a good job of making others praise and look up to the deeds, he probably won't have a second chance to get involved in the papal throne in his life.

The bishop's motortour, as always, moved smoothly towards its destination. With Hammorrah, the priest sent by the city of Guayas, to escort him, the cardinal was at ease. Lifting the curtain covering the window, Daniel asked the attendant who had been following the carriage, "Jordan, what is this place?"

When the waiter Jordan heard the bishop's culture, he immediately opened the map in his hand and checked it, and then replied to Daniel respectfully: "Back to the bishop, this is already the boundary of Guayas City, and we can reach Guayas in half a day." ”

The Bishop nodded slightly, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, while the convoy continued to move forward smoothly and unhurriedly. Suddenly, Daniel's heart shook slightly, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. Having followed the Pope for a long time, Daniel has an extremely keen sense of danger.

Quietly, Daniel slowly pushed his mental power around the convoy, and the source of danger gradually became clear in his mind. At the front of the convoy, several suspicious people were quietly lurking on the hill. Although the traces of these sneaky people are well hidden, how can it be possible to escape under the spiritual power of Archbishop Daniel!

Daniel smiled slightly, he didn't care about these thieves, but just sent a spiritual power to the front of the convoy, and the god of war priest Hammora immediately understood what he meant, and with a light snort, several strong and vigorous knights immediately rushed out from Hammora's side and rushed towards the hill.

The bishop's motorcade continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, Daniel, who was meditating, discovered the vision in this little episode, how could it be that if it was just a few little thieves, how could it arouse his mind-purifying alertness?

"Bang-"

An explosion exploded at the front of the convoy, and in the midst of the sand turmoil, a black shadow suddenly rose from the ground and swept in front of the carriage like a black light.

The man was tall and strong, and his face was completely unclear under a black coat, but the dagger he held in his hand continued to exude bursts of death.

"Damn it!"

"Hell!"

............

Several shouts were heard from far and near, and among these shouts rang out a calm and solemn prayer: "Praise be to the great ......."

In the midst of the prayer, a strong holy light suddenly rose from the carriage, and Daniel flew out of the carriage like a rising red sun, and the powerful and dazzling divine power was released, which lifted the spirits of all the guardian swordsmen.

Mages who can pre-control flight do have a lot of advantages over other classes. After dodging the Assassin's fatal blow, Daniel chanted a spell as he continued to climb to great heights.

The assassin missed, and when he saw Daniel flying towards the sky, he was not surprised or rejoiced. If there were so many guards in the convoy, it would have been a bit of a struggle to kill him. But now that he actually took the initiative to break away from the crowd and fly into the sky, no matter how good your flying skills are, how can it be compared with a real volley?

When the convoy and the people in Guayas City saw the Cardinal flying into the sky and dodging the assassin's assassination, everyone couldn't help but be happy, but their faces quickly sank again. The Assassin flew right behind Bishop Daniel, and was faster and more agile than Bishop.

"Lord Bishop, be careful!" Hammora, the priest of the god of war, exclaimed, his broad back suddenly brightened, and a pair of golden wings suddenly spread out behind him, and a strong battle intent filled his entire changing body, like a golden thunderbolt rushing towards the black light at Bishop Daniel's feet.
