Chapter 229: Assassination

Grand Duke Jon was in a good mood to get on the steam magic car, a magic machine that had been introduced from the Tadoya Empire only a few years earlier, and it was not only fast, but also absolutely comfortable.

As such, it is no less precious than the Wyvern mount exclusive to Grand Duke Jon.

Even today, a few years later, only a handful of people can ride in a steam car.

In stark contrast to the heart of Grand Duke Jon, the streets of Dean City are very deserted at the moment, because no one likes to go out when the cannonballs are likely to fall at any moment.

More than a dozen steam magic cars sped through the empty streets, and the sound of engines made some curious children lean against the windows and watch the departing convoy.

A street that was originally wide has now been laid out with a large number of defensive measures, and has been directly converted into several small defensive fronts. Behind these fronts, there was a huge camouflage net, under which was a large-caliber self-propelled gun, and next to the cold hull, a dozen resting Stasi soldiers were leaning.

They watched with indifferent eyes as the sentries lifted the barricades that blocked the way, and watched expressionlessly as the steam magic carts for the big men passed in front of them at a rapid pace, ignoring the officers who stood on the side of the road and saluted, as if the big men in the convoy who could only look up to them had nothing to do with them.

War is an interesting thing that can sometimes make people forget who they are. Even the most humble people, as long as they go to the battlefield, they can ignore other lives, even if the life he ignores is the king of a country that was once prominent...... Elohim has seen a number of prominent scholars die in war, and those soldiers have not been spared by their outstanding academic contributions.

"Hey, I said, what kind of big man are those steam magic cars that passed by just now?"

A human soldier holding a magic crossbow asked his orc comrades curiously what kind of people could be dragged out of the convoy to reveal their identities at times like Dean City.

The comrade-in-arms was obviously not very curious about this, he just grabbed the dusty thick noodles from the jar in front of him and swallowed them, while answering his companion's question inarticulately: "Bullshit great big man, go to the battlefield, damn it has to die!" Falkenridge's frontal firepower is estimated to be unbearable even for a legend. I guess the people in the car aren't as good as those rookie recruits. ”

A group of veterans nodded in agreement, commenting critically about the group of high-ranking officers in the convoy who ran faster than rabbits when they fought, and then laughed among themselves. They didn't know that there was a name that had scared them so much that they were talking foul language—Archduke Stassie, Jon Donmino.

After a long journey, the steam cart finally stopped at the exit of a spacious freight station, one after another formed a protective net around it, and one guard after another stood on either side of the steam car, vigilantly watching for any disturbances around it.

Eventually, Ennusco, the captain of the guard, walked over to Grand Duke Jon's car and reached out to open the door for the leader.

Grand Duke Jon drilled out the steam magic car, and then the countless officers and nobles who greeted him were greeted with a wave of applause. Karl walked in front of Grand Duke Jon with his adjutant, stood up and saluted: "Everything is ready, the herald has just reported that the locomotive that General McCarthy is riding on will enter the small station in fifteen minutes." ”

Grand Duke Jon was obviously very satisfied with Karl's arrangement, patted the other party on the shoulder, and said, "Very good! General McCarthy rushed to Dean City with his troops, this will be a turning point in the war between Falkenridge and Stasi! We will defeat Falkenridge's army in Dean City and win back the initiative on the battlefield." ”

"That's right, Your Excellency Grand Duke Jon, Supreme Leader of Stasi, and I also believe that we can win back the initiative in the war!" Karl replied loudly to Grand Duke Jon, "As long as we hold out in Dean City for another month, the Tadoya Empire will be truly free to support us." We'll get enough supplies and troops to get the Falkenridge army back once and for all. ”

Karl's words made Grand Duke Jon very satisfied, and what he wanted to hear most now was nothing more than the generals standing on a professional point of view and coming to the conclusion that there was still hope for Stacy. Even if this conclusion sometimes seemed overly optimistic, he liked to hear it.

"Very good! very good!" said Archduke Jon, satisfied, as he led the way to the platform of the station, where there were already representatives from various departments to greet General McCarthy, and everyone was applauding and cheering, cheering for Archduke Jon's arrival.

You must know that the Grand Duke Jon has not left the fortress-like Grand Duke Palace for a long time, and these officers and nobles who are not strong enough have not been able to see this leader in person in Stassie for more than a month.

But while these people were applauding, two people in luxurious clothes in the corner were biting each other's ears and talking. One of the men kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with the white handkerchief in his hand, and his voice was a little trembling: "This matter, it must be foolproof, are you sure you can kill the target?"

The other man was visibly more nervous, and he looked around with an alert eye as he shuddered to answer the other's question: "I've done experiments, and I'm in normal ...... ...... Below, this ...... Detonating device...... Still, still...... Very reliable. ”

Yes, as they say, what they are going to do is to assassinate Archduke Jon with a bomb!

If it were to assassinate ordinary people, or if Grand Duke Jon didn't have much strength, these two men would not be so nervous, but Grand Duke Jon is a strong man at the peak of legend - although he was stuck in the legendary realm by the bottleneck, and he couldn't break through to the demigod realm for several years in a row, but it was a legend, and it was not something that the two of them could resist at all.

Even if the bombs on their bodies are so powerful that they might even kill the legendary powerhouse, it means that they will most likely not be able to escape the danger zone in time.

They are not heroes of anything, and they are naturally afraid.

When the two of them spoke, they shifted their eyes to the crowd from time to time, on the two handbags that were placed, in order to ensure that they could kill the important goal of Grand Duke Jon, the two of them each carried a concentrated magic bomb, and used double insurance to make up for all hidden dangers.

You know, the power of this condensed magic bomb can directly destroy a small area.

They remembered that the big names in Cyrobat had promised that if they could take out the stumbling block of peace with Grand Duke Jon, the war between Falkenridge and Stacy would end immediately, and their families in Dean City would escape the war, and the two of them would have a good place in the new Stacy government.

Think of the children at home, think of the wife who was crouching in the fortified buildings waiting for the shelling to end, and a little bit of luck that finally agreed to this crazy plan.

As it turned out, the war had come to this point, and Archduke Jon's rule was not monolithic. There were voices of opposition within Stasi, even though they were still very weak and the means used were not bright, but they were still there - and that seemed to be enough for the interior of Stasi, where the edifice was about to collapse.

These weak forces hoped to end the era of Archduke Jon with an assassination, and then replace them and settle an armistice with King Vis of Falkenridge with peace of mind.

Leaflets secretly distributed by some of Falkenridge's spies, as well as contacts from Falkenridge's intelligence services, have repeatedly proved that they are more correct: Falkenridge is also seeking peace, and the only obstacle is Archduke Jon.

It's a pity that Grand Duke Jon almost never left his lair Grand Duke Palace, so these weak forces have no chance to attack at all.

This time to welcome General McCarthy back to Dean City can be said to be a golden opportunity, if the operation is perfect, you can even buy one get one free to kill McCarthy. So they came, carrying bombs without hesitation, and walked onto the platform where the Great Guild of Jon would arrive in a moment.

At the same moment, two blocks away, the leopard orc Hoy was carefully observing whatever was happening in the station with the help of invisibility magic. After defeating the Stasi killers, the Abyssal Nova immediately received a remote order from Iroh to cooperate with the nobles of Syrobat, the city behind Stasi, to see if he could directly kill Archduke Jon!
