Section 22
Two hours ago.
Grey and his military adviser, Sir Louie, had just separated.
The sound of explosions outside the city dispelled the slightest hint of sleepiness he had, and he had to return to his office, where a scrambled intelligence officer told him that it was an explosion in the ghetto!
The news made Gray's heart move.
Gray knew what was going on over there, and Zamba had reported it to him in detail, but in his mind, it was just a trivial matter, and the reason why he asked Baron Arthur to cooperate was for a certain purpose.
In Gray's heart, it doesn't matter whether he can catch people or not, what matters is to dig out the ironclad evidence that those nobles colluded with the orc alliance.
Of course, even if no evidence is found, there is no problem.
All it takes is this action!
As for the evidence, some of it is artificially made.
However, the sudden explosion gave Gray a hunch that this incident might not be as simple as he imagined.
Loi also walked in ten minutes after Gray arrived at the office, he looked around at the people around him, and seeing that there were no other nobles present, he said, "A magician friend told me that there was a strong magical element fluctuation in the direction of the explosion!"
"Magical elementals?" Gray tapped his forehead hard, "Are you saying that those black households have magicians helping them, or that those magicians are their people in the first place?"
"There doesn't have to be a magician, maybe a magic scroll!" Loire explained.
"Huh?" Gray thought as he looked down.
Magicians are the same as bachelors, although everyone can learn, but the family is not rich, and it is difficult for people who do not have perseverance and perseverance to make a difference, and generally accomplished magicians basically have a little club status.
I can't imagine that a small slum rat nest would be willing to stay there.
"Give Baron Arthur an order to rush back to the town hall immediately, and the command of the city defense army will be temporarily transferred to Zamba!"
Lois nodded, obviously agreeing with the order, he thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to give Zamba a secret order?"
"No!" Gray shook his head, "we're on someone else's territory after all, so let's not be left behind!" I think the Zamba Knight should know how to do it!"
Gray's meaning is already very clear, he doesn't give Zamba any orders, that is, let the other party let go and do things, if there is any problem at that time, it will naturally be borne by Zamba, but Gray will mediate from the beginning, and there will be no too heavy punishment.
This is the best way to deal with it.
...
Ten minutes later.
The intelligence officer has once again sent news: there is a riot in the slums!
"Looks like someone is trying to muddy the scene!" said Loire.
Gray didn't answer, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the top of his desk, his eyes drooping slightly.
After a long while, he raised his head, he looked at Loire, and commanded, "Send another hundred more soldiers of the Guards to Zamba, so that he must stabilize the situation!"
Lois was slightly stunned, and did not immediately carry out the order, but asked: "Are you worried that the city defense army has already colluded with those people?"
Gray buried his head in writing the warrant, and when he looked up again, he already had a freshly written order in his hand, and he handed it to Lois, "I can't rule out this possibility, so, arrange it as soon as possible!"
Loire took the warrant and stared at the mud seal on it, he wanted to persuade the viscount to whom he was loyal, because he knew that Gray had already allocated fifty guards to Zamba, and if another hundred were allocated, then there would only be fifty people on Gray's side.
However, now there are only Gray's personal guards around the city of Seka, except for Baron Arthur's more than 1,000 city defenses, so when the words came to his lips, Loire did not speak.
Gray was no longer sleepy, he dismissed everyone, including his attendants, and sat alone at his desk in a daze.
He loved this dark environment of solitude and loved it since he was a child.
"Bang!"
I don't know how long it had been, but the door to the office had suddenly opened in a rough way, and the sound interrupted Gray's musings, and he looked at the door with a hint of anger on his face.
When he saw the situation at the door, he was shocked!
I saw that five people wearing guard robes on the outside of the chain mail rushed in and stood in a row at the door, and behind them, the guards at the door fell in a pool of blood and struggled weakly.
Each of the men was armed with a repeating crossbow with a trace of visible green liquid on it, dripping on the bottom plate.
They didn't give Gray time to react, and the crossbow arrows burst out as soon as possible, and in just five seconds, all the arrows in the repeating crossbow arrows in the hands of the five people poured out.
The 'whoosh' sound of the arrow cutting through the air brought Gray back from the shock, and now he had no time to defend, and he subconsciously blocked his head.
Piercing pain in the chest and arms followed.
The bolt's powerful inertia caused him to step backwards until he was close to the wall.
"What's going on?" asked a hoarse voice, for Gray could now see that he didn't seem to be in trouble, and the Assassins didn't feel the thrill of killing him with one blow.
"The target seems to have cast a kind of restorative magic!" A voice replied, "However, this magic is not omnipotent, and we still have a chance to kill him!"
The pain all over his body made Gray's nerves numb for a while, he could hear the assassin's conversation, and he knew that he had to brace himself or he would really die.
"Ahh
Gray let out an earth-shattering roar, and spat out a mouthful of hot blood held in his chest.
Anger spread in his heart, he hadn't been so angry in a long time, his eyes were red, and his right hand was holding the hilt of the saber that never left his waist.
Without any extra nonsense, Gray took two firm steps, and then kicked the heavy desk in front of him, which actually rushed forward like a car under his foot.
"Click!"
The sound of broken bones rang out, and the two assassins who thought Gray was rushing to kill were smashed to the bone.
The faces of the other three assassins changed drastically, they didn't expect Gray to have such physical strength at this time, and besides, those crossbow arrows were infected with deadly poison, and they even wondered if the alchemist who made the poison for them had deceived them.
"Damn it, let's get on it!"
There was no time to think about the mess now, and the Assassin gritted his teeth and spat out a word. They couldn't retreat, and they couldn't retreat, because Gray had already rushed over.
The men soon fought together.
One hit three, although it was a little difficult, but Gray's completely lifeless style of play made the three assassins a little shocked in their hearts, and they were a little timid for a while, but they were pressed and beaten by Gray.
After a while, the sound of neat footsteps resounded in the ears of several people.
"Damn!" the leader of the Assassins grumbled, taking a few steps back as he shouted, "Desperate!"
It's impossible to escape, only fight to the death!
The other two assassins were obviously also veterans, so they naturally understood this truth, they were not afraid, their momentum changed, and they completely ignored the sharp blade that Gray stabbed, and turned defense into attack!
It's going to be an injury for an injury, but Gray doesn't have to fight with them anymore, so when he sees the three of them attacking, he cleverly retreats to dodge.
After a few breaths, Gray's personal guards appeared at the gate.
The soldier was terrified when he saw that his lord was covered in blood and had several crossbow arrows stuck in his body.
An old sergeant reacted the fastest, and he immediately joined the battle circle with a team of men and horses to free Gray from the siege.
Gray relaxed at this time, he clenched his steel teeth, and pulled out the crossbow arrows on his body one by one.
The leader of the Assassins had been fixing his gaze on Gray from the beginning, and he was obviously shocked to see the other man's eyes shrink to the size of a pin's eye.
The soldiers around him were also full of incredulity, but they didn't dare to ask.
"Leave it alive!"
When there was only one Assassin left, Gray shouted.
Soon, the last one was subdued to the ground.
With the help of magic, Gray's body was already safe and sound, but the blood on his body was terrifying, he stared at the assassin crawling on the ground like a dead fish, and commanded to the left and right: "Take care of him, if he dies, let you Baron Taqia come to me to explain in person!"
