Chapter 16: Infiltration
The Emperor never wore armor, but he wore a special tight-fitting suit every time he performed a difficult operation, which made it easy for him to move and carry his equipment. The amount of equipment carried by the emperor was quite terrifying, and after carrying the long sword that was tailor-made for himself and the magic hand cannon with superior performance, he inserted eight new flying knives made by the revolutionary army into the flying knife belt around his waist, and then he also neatly hid a sharp dagger into his clothes.
The boots of the Emperor were made of leather, but the soles of their shoes were covered with a thick layer of cushions, and there were three daggers hidden in the cushions, one on the toes, one on the heel, and one hidden in case of emergency. Each boot is clasped with two slightly longer daggers on the outer sides, while on the inner sides are two shorter daggers.
Except for the boots, the rest of the gate carried weapons to a greater or lesser extent, two short knives were tied to the sides of the thighs, there were six leather scabbards in the clothing compartment on the back, and a short knife was inserted in each of the scabbards, and eight leather knife sleeves were sewn on the clothes on the chest of the emperor, and the knife sleeves were all flying knives used by the emperor before. The emperor's arms didn't hide any knives, but the lethality of the weapons on his arms was not inferior to these knives.
On his hands, he wore a pair of high-grade alloy chainmail gloves with a moderate texture and toughness, each lock of the gloves was quite small, and its workmanship was very delicate, making the thickness slightly thinner than the brocade silk. There is a black metal receiver under the left and right forearms of the Emperor's left and right arm, which is the ejection hook that the Emperor has been using before, and there is also a black receiver above the forearm, but the front end of this receiver is narrower, and the firing port at the front end is also smaller.
The black receiver above the forearm was not a hook, but five silver-white metal arrowheads, all five of which were very slender, but their penetrating power when shot was very deadly, and the arrows were smeared with deadly venom, making them often achieve unexpected results for the emperor.
There is also a black metal receiver tied to the two arms of the emperor's gate, but this receiver can't shoot anything, its function is to replenish the emperor's arrows, and the receiver on each arm is placed with fifteen arrowheads, which are enough for the emperor's door to deal with most situations. In addition, the emperor also hid a lot of weapons in his long hair, the two hairpins used to fix the hair, which were sharp and strong enough to be called sharp weapons, coupled with the nine finger-long steel needles hidden in the hair, and the poison they carried, the emperor was really full of thorns.
The equipment carried by the emperor is not only more, but also its quality and workmanship are high-quality, of course, the emperor has also paid a lot of effort and money for this. However, Emperor Men still felt that something was insufficient, and he also prepared two flashbangs, two high-explosive magic energy stones, three energy replenishment potions, three energy magazines, and three quaint rings of unknown use.
After putting on these equipment, the emperor emerged from a corner of Pentsea City, took out the magic energy timer in his arms to confirm the time of action, and he quickly set off towards the intended location. The patrol route and the distribution of sentry posts in Xicheng have been completely mastered, and the Imperial Gate has escaped all the eyes and ears along the way, and no one has found out their whereabouts.
The predetermined location was on the high wall of the main fort, which happened to be the visual blind spot of all the sentry posts, so that the soldiers of the night vigil would not be able to discover the Imperial Gate, and here you could clearly see the movement signals sent by the revolutionary army in the eastern city, which was one of the important reasons why the Imperial Gate chose this place.
As the night darkened, the people in the city fell asleep, but at this moment, a few beautiful fireworks rose in the silent night sky of the city, and the colorful fireworks did not last long, only fourteen fireworks were fired and then died down. In the eyes of others, these fireworks may be just a bright color in the night sky, but in the eyes of the emperor, they are the signal for the revolutionary army to start moving.
After receiving the signal, the emperor immediately skillfully climbed down the high wall, and he did not alarm the patrol team that had just passed under the high wall, and the steady emperor gate quietly followed the end of the patrol, just stuck the sight of another patrol not far away. The soldiers of the main fort were elite men dressed in standard equipment, carrying three-foot steel swords at their waists, single-reload rifles large enough to shoot 800 paces on their backs, and wearing light brown armor.
After following the patrol in front of him for a short distance, the emperor immediately turned around a corner and entered the grass beside him. When the patrol had completely turned the corner, the Emperor Gate silently crossed the path between the flower beds while no one was looking, and the Imperial Gate, which was hiding in the dwarf flowers, slowly moved forward with very limited shadows and obstacles. The patrol passing by the flowers did not notice the existence of the Imperial Gate at all, and they continued to patrol the route as usual.
Coming to the end of the flowers, the emperor saw the opportunity, dodged the sentry posts around the main castle, and after using his own energy to open a window in the kitchen in the most silent way, he immediately turned over and entered, turned around and closed the window, and the emperor finally sneaked into the interior of the main castle.
The location of the kitchen is not too far from the dungeon, the destination of the Imperial Gate, but since there are more patrols inside the main fort than outside the main fort, and the interior of the main fort is quieter, it is much more difficult for the Imperial Gate to infiltrate. However, this route is not the first time that the Imperial Gate has been taken, the first few times I infiltrated the Imperial Gate, I successfully infiltrated the place that was long away from the dungeon, and was not discovered by anyone, this time the Imperial Gate is confident that it will be as smooth as before.
The Emperor Gate crouched on the ground and observed the position of the patrol through the crack in the door, and when the time was right, he silently opened the kitchen door and walked out, the patrol that had just passed the door would not turn back until the next corner, and the Emperor Gate took the opportunity to reverse to the main branch of the central corridor.
There were many fixed sentry posts on the main branch, but Emperor Men found that there were small visual blind spots between the sentry posts, and although this dead end was small, it was enough for him to shuttle through the main branch. The next step for the Emperor's Gate was to go up a staircase leading to the second floor of the main branch, but tonight a maid stopped at the staircase to talk to the soldier guarding the staircase. However, this is not the first time that this kind of thing has been encountered by the Emperor Gate, and in this case, it is enough to throw a prepared silver coin from the top of the two people's heads to the opposite direction.
There was a crisp sound of "ding", and the two people at the stairs were really attracted by the sound, and when their eyes turned to the silver coin, the emperor gate immediately walked quietly behind the two and came to the second floor.
There are many fewer bonsai on the second floor than on the first floor, and there are many fewer visual dead spots on the second floor, but there are many empty rooms on the second floor, and the emperor gate uses these unmanned rooms and the beams above the corridor to cleverly evade the patrols and sentry posts on the second floor.
After returning to the first floor from another staircase, the Emperor Gate soon came to the passage to the dungeon, and with his miserable white energy, he leaned upside down on the ceiling like a gecko, and entered the passage from above the entrance of the passage while the guards were not looking.
Silently came to the emperor gate in front of the iron gate, took out the key that had been prepared, opened the door to the dungeon, and the emperor gate, who had just opened the door, immediately took out two sharp flying knives from his waist and looked at the position of the guards behind the door, and threw the flying knives directly at the guards on both sides. There were four guards behind the gate, and the two guards who were farther away had been throated by the Emperor's throwing knives, while the two guards who were closer to the Emperor's Gate were immediately choked by the Emperor's hands, and before they could struggle, the Emperor's Gate broke their necks.
The Emperor quickly moved the corpse to both sides of the passage, and closed the gate with his hand, isolating the sound of the dungeon from the outside. The passage of the dungeon is very long, and on both sides of the passage are locked iron doors, each of which has a small grid of dialogues, through which the emperor can easily see the prisoners locked in the dungeon, but these prisoners can also see him through the dialogue.
After shooting all the guards of the entire passage, the Emperor Gate checked the prisoners one by one, and all the prisoners who were not the same as his goal were shot by the Emperor Gate with the energy arrows gathered by the energy. In the end, the emperor gate came to the last cell of the passage, and the prisoners in the other cells were naturally killed by him, but the emperor who pushed the door opened did not see any prisoners, it turned out that the iron door that seemed to be the prison door was not a real prison door, it was just a part of the dungeon defense system.
Thankfully, the Imperial Gate did not trigger the alarm, but unfortunately the next level of the dungeon seemed to be a little too close to this level, only a few steps away, which caused the Imperial Gate to enter the hall of this level as soon as it opened.
There were fourteen guards in the hall, the two closest were only one step away from the Imperial Gate, and the farthest four were on the other side of the hall, about fifteen meters away from the Imperial Gate, and they all realized the arrival of an intruder for the first time, and all their eyes were pointed at the Imperial Gate.
After entering the hall, the emperor immediately determined the position of all the guards, and then he opened his bow left and right with lightning speed, and punched the two guards in front of him to death. The two guards who received a punch from each hand of the Emperor Gate flew upside down on both sides, and each smashed into the nearest guard, and after beating the two of them into the air, the Emperor Gate quickly shot two arrows at the two guards at the farthest point. Then, taking advantage of the gap mechanically filled by the shooting device, Temen bent his hands back, grabbed the two short knives behind his back, and threw them at the two guards not far away.
The remaining six still mobile guards had already taken their rifles out of their backs and ran towards the nearby shelter, but the speed of the Emperor's killing was far faster than they had imagined, and before they could point their rifles at the Emperor's Gate, they all died under the Emperor's short knives and throwing knives, and the remaining two guards who were knocked down by the flying soldiers were also dealt with by the Emperor's one person and one sword.
As he retrieved all the weapons he had thrown, he examined the corpses of each of the guards and retrieved the key to the locked iron door on the other side of the hall.
After the emperor opened the lock of the iron door, he pressed the short knife on his back with one hand and slowly pushed the iron door open with the other, and behind the iron door was pitch black, and in addition to the foul smell that came from the darkness, there was also a beautiful song like heaven.
The song was so familiar that it immediately reminded Emperor of the little girl he had seen outside the city of Pent, but when he looked up, the first thing he saw was not the little girl, but a young maid whom he had never seen at all.
