Three days later, a train was sent from the imperial capital to the southwest of the empire, and on this train, the front carriage was wrapped, and there were men in civilian clothes at the front and rear doors, and their vigilant eyes looked at the staff of the train from time to time, as well as the passengers of the second carriage wandering. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info These people are all greyhounds in civilian clothes, that is, field agents of the Ministry of State Security. They were so vigilant and careful, and it was because there were very important people sitting in this carriage.

From the appearance of the train with few passengers, to now almost every train is crowded, it only took a short half a year. When it was discovered that the cost of taking the train was much lower than that of a horse-drawn carriage or a boat, almost everyone did not hesitate to take the train as a new form of transportation. Not only is it fast, but it is also very smooth, and the wide space gives everyone enough space to move, unlike the horse-drawn carriage, which is so crowded that people can't move their hands and feet.

Train fares were still quite low, and of course the Empire didn't need trains to make a profit in a short period of time to fill the financial gap. Every political storm and civil war was a grand dinner for the Empire's treasury. The wealth that the aristocracy plundered for centuries through privileges and various methods will eventually become part of the treasury. So when it came time to set the train fare, the Queen of Pars tried her best to come up with a very low price.

Looking out the window at the fleeting scenery, Niccolò withdrew his gaze and stole a glance at Wren, who was sitting alone outside the two seats. He sat by the window, basking in the sun, blowing the wind, and reading a book. The book was thick, and Niccolò didn't intend to know what it was about, nor did he have any interest in reading it, and he admired someone like Wren who could pick up a book and read it all day.

This mission will not only be carried out by Wren himself, but also by Hugo, as well as some of the elite of the field agents. In addition to Wren, Hugo, and the female swordsman named Jasmine, there were three squads of thirty agents, and a cat.

Yes, a cat, there was a cat curled up in the seat next to Wren, a large cat of some unusual size. This cat does not look like a noble breed, and its coat color is flowery, but it is very soft and shiny. The only thing that makes people think that this cat may be different is that this cat's eyes have a three-point more intelligent luster than the smart eyes of other cats.

Niccolò didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he thought that the cat was likely to say something out of nowhere, especially when he looked it straight in the eye.

This operation is fast-paced, and there is also a certain danger, after all, the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc is not a cat or a dog. Many people may focus on the guards of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc and the security configuration of the estate, thus ignoring a central element - the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc was a powerful swordsman himself.

For many years, she did not participate in the battle in person, so that most people forgot that this old thing, who looked a little old, was a powerful swordsman. She, as well as her long sword and battle spirit, were once famous throughout the empire, and countless female swordsmen fell in love with her, believing that the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc was an iconic figure for women, and there was no one. This view did not change until the accession of Empress Pars.

It is not an easy task to deceive the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc's bodyguards, and it is even more difficult to invade her mansion, and it is even more difficult to successfully kill her in a short time. Most of the agents who had read the mission briefing along the way seemed preoccupied.

This is definitely not an easy task, and it is very likely that a considerable part of these people here will have to sacrifice a considerable part as the price of completing the task, and sleep forever in a place far from home. The dull carriage and the judgment of the difficulty of the task make the atmosphere in the carriage very solemn.

Wren casually turned the page, no matter what the mentality of others was at this time, as long as he could hold back and firmly believe that he could complete this task, it would be enough to stabilize the morale of the army. The book in his hand is about some folk tales from the period of the Holy Empire, as well as the customs and culture. The book is rarely found on the market, and is only available in the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Higher School, and the Royal Collection. The Holy Empire described in the book is as ...... as a prosperous and prosperous age.

Unfortunately, the more liberal the environment depicted in the book, the more the class was able to extract enough benefits from society, and the more it proved that it was a sign that a regime was on the verge of collapse.

Not in the mood to continue reading, Wren closed the book and put it aside, took a sip of green tea from his teacup, and began to think about how to kill the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc as much as possible.

The fiefdom of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc was in the southwest of the empire, with seven cities and an area close to one province. The Grand Duke of Joan of Arc, who had made his fortune in the military, had always attached great importance to the offensive and defensive systems, placing three cities for military purposes on the three roads in and out of the feudal kingdom, just like Ortronburg, which could be turned into military fortresses immediately when necessary. Within the feudal state, the three cities surrounded the capital, forming horns with each other to defend the capital.

If you want to rely on military force to attack the capital of the feudal kingdom where the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc is located, then you must conquer at least three cities, which is why Empress Pars is in a difficult situation. A short period of military action could not shake the power of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc, and it would be a protracted war.

Therefore, Wren chose assassination, a method that is somewhat unacceptable.

Before he himself arrived at the fiefdom capital of the Archduke of Joan of Arc, Wren had already paid for the Black Priest to assassinate the Archduke of Joan of Arc first. Doing so would have made the assassination more difficult, but it would also allow Wren to discover and see through the defenses of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc. Moreover, it is not an easy thing to defend against thieves for a thousand days, and in a highly tense defensive posture, once there is no action for a long time, some people will have psychological laxity.

It's like a person staring at a street corner, and if someone keeps showing up, his attention will be constantly activated. But when no one emerges from the corner for a while, attention will be noticeably distracted.

And this is the good time to really get started.

As for how to accomplish such an assassination...... Wren took out a Tiberium spar from his pocket and put it in front of Kate's nose, Kate, who was like a bobcat, immediately woke up from her slumber, it licked the back of Wren's hand, and then opened its mouth to carefully hold the Tiberium spar, comfortably supporting a lazy waist.

As Wren gave Tiberium hedron to Kate for food, Kate became smaller and smaller, but doubled in strength. In the past, it could inadvertently spew out a wind blade, or a magic similar to an air cannon, but now it has mastered both of these spells and can release them freely.

No wonder Kate was a powerful magical beast in ancient times, and in this low tide period, it can spew out a wind cannon with a power equal to that of fourth-level magic, and if it is placed in the high tide period, I am afraid that this power will go up two steps.

Perhaps, this is also a way!

Wren touched Kate's fur, and a thought crossed his mind.
