Chapter 5: Assassination

An hour before the pledge meeting, the castle of Count Veron was already in full swing, with the handymen, cooks, maids and even the soldiers busy arranging and preparing for the next pledge meeting. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Gradually, the sky has darkened, at this moment the emperor gate stood in front of the city gate quietly listening to the lively noise, now he put on the human skin mask he had prepared a long time ago, and tied a piece of linen cloth to the demonic right eye that could not be concealed no matter how disguised it was.

He has cleaned up the previous endgame, but the remaining time does not allow him to adjust his state to the best, and now the energy in his body is probably less than half of what he used to be, so he must be more careful, fortunately Daryl is dead, and there is no more powerful person in this castle that can make the emperor care.

After a while, the drawbridge of the city gate was completely lowered, and the guards at the city gate saw that it was "Daryl" and immediately trotted to him. "Daryl" did not embarrass the guard, but asked in a deep voice, "Where is Count Veron now?"

"Back to the Overseer, Lord Earl is now in the council chamber discussing with the chiefs how to deal with the Revolutionary Army. The guard heard Daryl's question and immediately replied respectfully.

"Got it. After hearing the guard's answer, the emperor did not move directly towards the council chamber, he turned and looked at the far corner of the road, where hundreds of wagons carrying barrels of goods were moving slowly, although a little earlier than planned, but it did not have any effect.

"The convoy behind me is here to deliver the wine, you can do a routine inspection, and after the inspection is completed, find someone to distribute the wine to each battalion and post, and put away all the previous drinks for me, and I will send someone to check it when the time comes." Understood?" the emperor said, glancing at the guard.

"The subordinate understood. The guard nodded in reply.

After the emperor finished explaining, he hurried to the council hall.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl, if those mud-legged men dare to come to my battalion, they will definitely charge forward and tear them apart!"

"It's just those mud legs what's so terrible, our cavalry battalion must trample them into flesh!"

"The Earl's leadership is wise, and the soldiers of the territory are brave and fearless, and we have won this battle. ”

The atmosphere in the council hall was originally very warm, but when the embarrassed "Daryl" came to the door of the council chamber, the air suddenly froze, and the flattery that was still on his lips was swallowed back alive by the officers. The middle-aged man in a brocade robe sitting on the throne stood up abruptly and asked, "Daryl, what's wrong with you?"

"Lord Count, I have been ambushed by a small group of revolutionary troops, and all my men with me have died. Emperor Men replied with a gloomy face.

"Why are they already here?, do you know any specific circumstances?, and the pledge meeting is still not open?" said Count Veron, hearing Daryl's answer, at once.

"The swearing-in meeting was held as usual, and it was a small number of advance troops of the revolutionary army who came, and their large forces were still far away. Lord Earl, I still have some personal matters to ask you, can you go somewhere else to talk?" After speaking, the Emperor Gate glanced at the Earl, of course, the Emperor Gate, who changed the color of his eyes with a black glass sheet, was not seen through by the Earl.

After a few words of explanation to the officers, the Count led the Emperor to his study, where all but "Daryl" and the Count were strictly forbidden to go near.

"The people of the Three Princes. After entering the door, the emperor said with a deep groan.

"Oh, so it's actually the people who ambushed you from the Third Prince?" the earl reacted immediately when he heard the words of the emperor, and the emperor didn't say anything and nodded in affirmation. In fact, the emperor didn't know what the relationship between the earl and the three princes was, but he knew that Daryl had a good relationship with the earl, and he was afraid that this matter would also be implicated, so he said tentatively.

However, the Earl did not notice anything unusual in the Imperial Gate, there was no difference in his face, there was no difference in his voice, not even his somewhat arrogant temper.

"Do you think there will be any tricks in this battle?, or some variable?" the Count asked, inquiringly.

"This time it may be hanging, I advise you to prepare early. ”

"So serious?" Earl Game's eyes widened in disbelief, but the "Daryl" in front of him had a serious face, and there was no joke at all, "I know, I'll prepare, you can step back first." ”

Emperor Gate glanced at Count Veron and walked silently to the door, and when he stopped, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "If you want to prepare, you have to hurry up, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive tonight." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, Daryl, when have you been so kind?" the Count was a little surprised by Daryl's "kind reminder", and he had the impression that the other party did not seem to have a good relationship with him.

"After all, we're in the same boat. ”

"That's right. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The oath-taking meeting was held as usual, and although the Count was not in any good mood because of the words of "Daryl", he did not show it on the surface, and after giving an impassioned speech to all the soldiers, he secretly began to organize his valuables.

In the square in front of the castle, the soldiers were happily drinking wine, enjoying the food, and the laughter resounded all around, even outside the castle.

Emperor Gate wandered in the darkness outside the crowd, he looked coldly at the people who were gradually becoming crazy, listening to their gradually unbridled laughter, revealing a chilling smile.

The Earl also felt that the crowd seemed to be too indulgent, but considering that the situation was just the right thing to help him slip away quietly, he did not think much about it.

While no one else had noticed, the Count left through the back door and headed for the Countess's maiden house, accompanied only by the Count's two youngest sons and their mother, the beautiful Countess, and the six Counts' most trusted henchmen, of course, how could there be no "Daryl".

The escape went well, and the Count was already some distance from the castle with his expensive belongings in a magic van that was as fast as a horse. The guards rode horses to guard the ten-meter-sized van, three on the left, two on the right, and one driving the car.

The magic van is divided into three sections, the front section is where the driver is, and the rest is actually one section, but part of it is divided to carry goods, and the middle part is like a comfortable bedroom, with all kinds of daily necessities, including the fireplace. Naturally, the treatment that "Daryl" enjoyed was not comparable to that of the guards, and at the moment he was sitting on a fur sofa with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep.

The two little boys, who were still a little excited, fell asleep quietly after eating the candy given by the emperor, and the earl naturally knew what kind of candy the emperor gave, but it was good to let the two noisy little ones be quiet. As for the Countess, her face was a little uneasy, a little worried, perhaps because the night was unusually dark, or because she did not know if her maiden family would take them in, or because someone should have appeared but did not appear.

The Countess swallowed a little nervously, she looked out the window and closed the curtains, but the Count did not stop her, presumably because the Count himself was afraid of being discovered by someone.

When the time came, the emperor slowly opened his eyes to look at the Count, who was dying with his head bowed, and he tore off his human skin mask under the Countess's surprised gaze, took off the sackcloth that covered his right eye, and then quickly and silently wrung the Count's neck.

The Countess did not scream, but threw herself directly at the Emperor Gate and gave him a wet kiss, but the Emperor Gate did not satisfy her very well, because when she still wanted to continue, the Emperor Gate pulled her away.

"I'm sorry, is it because I didn't trick Daliel into making you angry?but, but I've done my best, really, believe me, okay?" the countess kissed ruddy, she raised her pretty face, her eyes were a little moist, and she looked at the silent emperor and said half worriedly, half coquettishly.

I have to say that although the Countess is over thirty years old, she still talks like a little girl, so it is no wonder that the Count of Veron dotes on her so much. However, the emperor didn't eat this, he just smiled slightly, and after combing the countess's somewhat disheveled sideburns, he said softly: "Ruth, how can I blame you? I know it's not your fault, I believe in your love for me, your loyalty to me, but now is not the time." ”

Speaking of this, Dimen suddenly leaned over her ear and said softly and ambiguously: "When I finish my work, I will satisfy you." After speaking, the emperor gently slapped Ruth's earlobe.

This trick is very useful to Ruth, but although her heart is **** like fire, in front of her husband who has just died is in front of her, which makes Ruth feel a little flustered. Dimen seemed to know Ruth's emotions at the moment, he touched Ruth's head and said gently, "Close your eyes, count to ten, be good." ”

Ruth listened to the emperor and did it without any doubts.

The emperor's smile faded quickly, and a smile was not the expression that should be seen in battle, even if the battle was already decided.

"Stop!" exclaimed the Emperor, mimicking the Count's voice.

Thanks to the excellent braking ability of the magic energy van, the rather heavy van car quickly stopped, and the emperor opened the door to the front of the car, and the driver in front of the car had not time to turn back, the white claw-like energy had already captured his heart, and he was directly crushed without saying a word, and died completely.

The three people on the left side of the car were attracted by the movement of the front of the car to check, and the emperor was taking advantage of this to suddenly open the door on the right, and before the three of them could react, he launched a fierce attack. He suddenly rushed towards a guard on a horse in the middle, and in the air, he had already pulled out two flying knives from his waist and threw them at the guards on both sides at the same time, the sharp blades of the flying knives directly cut the blood vessels between the throats of the two, and the blood in the veins immediately gushed out.

It was also at the same time that these two flying knives reached the target, and the emperor gate had already rushed to the guard in the middle, and in the blink of an eye, the emperor had already reached out and pulled out the opponent's long sword, bent his body backwards, and slammed the opponent's heart with his right foot.

After a series of movements, the emperor had already vacated to the top of the van, and then the emperor immediately threw the long sword held in his right hand at the right guard at the front of the car, and the guard was beheaded by the flying long sword before he could react. At this time, the emperor gate had already swept over the head of the remaining guard, and reached out the white withered claw of his right hand, directly scratching the inside of the opponent's brain.

The emperor's gate landed steadily, the first drop of blood spurted out of the guard's throat also spilled on the ground, all the movements were smooth, silent, the six guards died quietly and silently almost unconsciously, even the horses under their seats did not react, during this period the emperor only used four breaths to kill, not a drop of blood on the body.

"Is it over?" Ruth's timid voice came from the van.

"Well, almost. Hearing Ruth's question, the Emperor replied with a little deep meaning, and then he smiled charmingly and looked into the distance, where the brightly lit castle was also the dark and gloomy sky.
