Chapter 7: Epilogue
The defenders of the town, near the castle of the Count of Veron, also received the news that the revolutionary army was going to attack the castle, and although everyone scoffed at this, the defense had to be strengthened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, the revolutionary army should have three or four thousand men, and it is impossible to say that it is impossible to defeat a castle with 20,000 regular troops and strong fortifications, but if they come to attack this town with only two thousand guards, it will be really troublesome.
After a night of heavy rain, the sky gradually brightened, and the guards who had been nervous all night were relieved, originally worried that the revolutionary army would attack here at night, but now they were a little curious about the situation on the castle side, and at this moment, the "messenger" on the castle side came.
After the sound of anxious horses' hooves, a noble lady dressed in brocade stopped under the city gate, although the noble lady was pretty, but now her makeup was scattered, her clothes were wet, and she looked completely embarrassed. In front of her sat two little boys on horseback, both of whom were shivering from the cold rain, and the guards at the city gate hurried over to take them down.
The lady on the horse also followed, but at this moment her steps were vain, her strength was lost, and the night of advancing in the rain also made her have a high fever, and she staggered to the ground just after getting off the horse, but fortunately the guards quickly helped her in time. The noble lady was pale and weak at the moment, and she said as if in a dream: "Save us, save us, we are ambushed by the revolutionary army, we are ambushed by the revolutionary army, the overseer is dead, and Velun is also dead." ”
The clever head of the guard quickly thought of something when he heard the noble lady's words, and he immediately shouted at a few soldiers in the rear: "Go and inform the battalion commander, just say that the castle is finished, and the revolutionary army is likely to come over soon, and a few more people will send the countess to rest, and then call the military doctor to treat the countess, quickly, quickly!"
While the other guards at the gate were focused on the leader of the guards and the noblewoman, a sturdy figure had silently sneaked over the wall into the town.
The ghostly figure skillfully dodged every patrolling guard and quickly traversed the gloomy alley, the ghost who had come to make the final plan to sweep the Emperor's Gate. He coped with the patrol with ease, but he was also planning the right choice he should make if the situation changed.
He'd done most of his plans, intercepting pursuers, ambushing Overseers, infiltrating with makeup, placing poisoned liquor, terrorizing the Count, fleeing with him, killing quietly, closing deals, and using his unique natural abilities to amnestic Ruth's memories of him and convince Ruth of the lies he had weaved.
After doing this, the emperor felt that those old nobles should not point the finger at their murderous knife, the revolutionary army, the priority of this organization should be far higher than their own. And he has already sent the daughter of the great nobleman, Countess Ruth to the hands of the garrison, the dead Wei Lun is just a small nobleman with no name, the emperor believes that those big nobles will not go to great lengths to dig out their own, the revolutionary army is enough for them to be nerve-wracking, why bother to find out which knife cut Wei Lun's throat.
At an astonishing speed, the Emperor Gate shuttled through places that people could not see, and many other places that people did not notice became his way forward.
After a while, the emperor came to the destination of his trip, on the roof of an ordinary tavern, this tavern looked ordinary and was actually a killer gathering place established by Daryl to investigate intelligence, and after the previous battle, the emperor came up with the number of remaining killers, seventeen, and most of them should be in this tavern.
The horror of Ruth's previous disturbances has alarmed the defenders of the city, and they will soon assemble when they are afraid of the revolutionary army, and the killers in this city should also come here to discuss countermeasures. The emperor has two choices at the moment, one is to wait for the people to gather and then catch them all, but the risk of doing so is a bit greater, and the other is to empty the tavern first, and then kill the incoming killers one by one, but it is difficult to ensure that the later people will not notice the problem.
To be on the safe side, the Emperor decided to use the first plan, the structure of this tavern was already familiar to the Emperor, and the Emperor Gate knew that the killers would enter the basement of the tavern every time they discussed. This basement has a fairly good soundproof wall, and if you fight in it, you won't disturb the enemies outside, and although there is no obvious hiding place in this basement, few people pay attention to it under the table, and with the shadows under the table and the drooping tablecloth door, you are still confident that you can avoid their sight.
The killers stationed in the tavern were completely unaware of the arrival of the Imperial Gate, and their sense of security was very lax, and the Imperial Gate easily and silently infiltrated the ambush location that he had predetermined before, quietly waiting for the best time to make a move.
After about half an hour, the basement door was pushed open, and the emperor quickly used his own strength to absorb himself under the table. The emperor's limbs supported the eaves of the table with great strength, but the table was not damaged, not even shaken, and the table was no stranger in the eyes of the killers, and a group of people sat around the table unhurriedly.
After counting, the emperor found that there were only seven people seated, although there was a gap with what he expected, but it was about the same, but there were more people to kill after going out, and the emperor didn't want to have any fish caught in the net.
Emperor Men pulled out a magic energy sword behind him, and quickly poured energy into it until it was saturated, and the saturated magic energy sword emitted a dark blue light, which should have exposed the existence of Emperor Gate.
However, before the killers could notice the faint blue light, the Emperor Gate suddenly burst into flames and beheaded the surrounding killers with all his might. In the blink of an eye, life and death were separated, and the killers who were not yet dead stared in disbelief, but they could no longer say a word.
The sharp magic energy sword slashed through the killers' heads and then dispersed, and after the emperor put away the long sword, he looked at the corpses that were still sitting upright and the blood that kept gushing out, and frowned slightly. The smell of blood is a bit strong, and it may attract the suspicion of other killers after opening the door later, but there is no way to do it, so the emperor has to deal with the remaining killers quickly to avoid accidents.
Emperor Gate opened the door of this secret room after charging the magic hand cannon in advance, and there were two guarded killers standing outside the door of the secret room, and Emperor Gate had already expected that someone would be guarding the door, so he immediately pulled out two flying knives and took them directly to the throats of the two people.
The killer who was blocked by the flying knife was surprised and painfully clutched his bleeding throat, in a vain attempt to stop the bleeding, and the surprise situation made the killers forget to notify their companions at the exit of their heads, which also made the next action of the emperor more relaxed. Ignoring the gushing blood splattered on his body, Emperor Men pulled the two throwing knives out of the throat of the killer who was not yet completely dead, and reinserted them into the belt of throwing knives hidden in his waist.
The Emperor's movements did not alarm the killers at the exit, but the smell of blood would soon alert those killers, and the Emperor Gate did not hesitate to take three or two steps to the exit, stretching out his hand to open the wooden door above his head.
In front of the wooden door stood a killer with his back to the emperor's gate, and when he heard the creak of the wooden door, he wanted to look back at the situation a little strangely, and then his head turned completely to the back of him, and he wanted to shout loudly, but found that his throat had been crushed and he couldn't make any sound at all.
Emperor Gate walked out of the storage room hidden in the basement, opened the door and bumped into a killer who was looking out of the window alone in the corridor, Emperor Gate shook his hand and took away his life with a throwing knife, and after recovering the flying knife in the same way, Emperor Gate came to the tavern hall like a leisurely stroll.
In the hall, two killers sat together drinking tea, and one stood guard in the doorway to observe the situation outside. The Emperor's steps were silent, and the three of them were all facing outside the tavern, so naturally no one noticed the arrival of the Emperor's Gate, even if the Emperor's Gate was already standing behind them, they still didn't notice it.
This situation saved Emperor Men a lot of effort, and directly hit the two killers sitting in front of him with the miserable white energy from his hands, and in an instant, the two of them were completely dead. The heads of the two of them slammed weakly on the table with a soft "pop", which was originally enough to alert the killer at the door, but the fact is that he didn't even hear this soft sound before the emperor used the magic hand cannon to blow his head out.
The killers upstairs seemed to be aware of this, and one of them ran warily downstairs to check on the situation, while the Emperor Gate put away the magic cannon and walked upstairs. Emperor Gate met him head-on, but before the killer could make any attack, Emperor Gate had already rushed out and grabbed the other party's throat, and after directly crushing it, Emperor Gate took the long sword in his hand, and then threw him aside like garbage.
After rushing upstairs quickly, Emperor Gate saw a killer who was drawing his sword at a glance, Emperor Gate directly rotated the long sword in his hand from bottom to top and threw it at the other party, but the killer horizontal sword was still a line slower, and the long sword pierced directly into the heavenly spirit from his jaw, taking away his vitality.
After killing this person, Emperor Gate looked around again, and after finding that there were no other killers, Emperor Gate seemed to think of something. At the same time as he pulled out the magic hand cannon and began to charge, he jumped out of the window directly, and grabbed the eaves directly while he was still in the air.
After pulling himself to the roof, Emperor Gate immediately began to look for the remaining killer, and in the alley in the distance, Emperor Gate found the killer who was fleeing. The killer ran very fast, and was already a thousand meters away from the tavern, but this distance still couldn't escape the emperor's life-chasing bomb.
Seeing a flower of blood bloom from the fugitive's head, Emperor Gate only sighed softly, he stood up, recalled his actions again, and turned to leave after seeing that there were no mistakes or omissions.
