Chapter 116: The Killer
It was almost dusk, and the parade finally entered the mountains and forests near Fort Wincord, and as soon as they set up camp, they received that the manager of Fort Wincord, the former commander of the Otlanji Mercenary Regiment, Joljo, was coming to escort him with a group of elite soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOh, it should be called the Outlanji Corps now.
While waiting for Joljo, Mu had already lit a bonfire, and the Bloodblade Knight, who had been itching his hands for a long time, finally got a chance to show off and went into the mountains in groups with the Nord women who were also unwilling to be lonely to hunt for today's dinner. And the peasants from Norma, although they are very good at farming and killing, when it comes to dealing with wild beasts, in the face of the Bloodblade Knights who are running all over the world, they can only be ashamed of themselves and honestly shoulder the work of camp guards.
Mu watched the fire be lit, and it was a waste to burn it in the blank like this, so he turned out a small can of cider and a string of sausages from the truck, and put the wine on the edge of the fire with the jars, and then selected a few non-toxic branches from the bushes around the camp, peeled off the skin, carefully dressed the sausages, found a suitable temperature next to the flame, and set up the branches wearing sausages. Under the enthusiasm of the flame, the surface of the sausage soon overflowed with crystal oil droplets, dripping into the fire to make a sizzling sound, and at the same time, overflowing a tempting fragrance drifted around with the evening breeze, attracting the attention of passers-by.
The princess involuntarily sucked her saliva, watched Mu turn the sausage over, and then handed herself the cider that had been warmed.
"Let's have a drink first, it's nice to have a hot cider on a cold day. The sausages will be fine after a while. ”
"Hmm. The princess took the jug, took a sip, and breathed a sigh of relief. ”
"Why, haven't you forgotten the so-called 'thrilling' parade plan?" Mu put on a few more sausages and put them around the fire, "Let's save it, and return to Uxhall to attend the succession ceremony safe and sound is what we should expect." With that, he shoved the roasted sausage into the princess's hand.
"Thank you," the princess took the sausage, and suddenly noticed a sudden flash of red light next to the fire, and she leaned down curiously to check,
But he felt a gust of wind pass behind his head, and then a crossbow bolt was driven into the fire, and the flames shook violently.
"Assassin!" Mu beside the princess was the first to react, throwing the wooden stick out with one hand, and then quickly drew his knife and got up, chasing after the place where the arrow came from. "Protect Her Royal Highness!" The knights also reacted quickly, quickly drew their swords and ran around the princess, only to rush to the front and suddenly stab the princess with their swords. Aisona was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, dodging the stab with a roll on the spot, and then quickly drew her saber and stabbed at the assassin diagonally. The assassin didn't care about it, and continued to kill Aisona with the mentality of exchanging his life for his life, but Her Royal Highness the princess was also experienced in a hundred battles, and a change of move knocked off the hand and half a sword, and then a knee hit the assassin to the ground and took two steps back, and the assassin wanted to fight back, but was immediately subdued by the knight who came from behind. The archery assassin was blocked by Mu and another guard, and when he saw that he could not escape, he drew his dagger and committed suicide quite simply.
As they returned to the camp with the corpse, they saw the knights push another knight to the ground.
"Well, Your Highness Princess, I'm not hurt. ”
Mu hurriedly greeted.
"I'm fine," Asona shook her head, "I'm just an assassin, not as much of a threat as the Nords." ”
Mu saw that Ai Sona was indeed fine, and he was relieved, and pointed to the corpse behind him and said, "The assassin was caught just now, but he is dead, what's going on with you?"
"I don't know," the princess shook her head, gesturing at the crushed knight, "I don't know why, he suddenly wanted to kill me." ”
"No way," one of the knights shouted, "Jerov can't be an Assassin, he admires you the most!" and he kicked the knight who was pinned to the ground, "Hey, bastard, don't you explain what you're doing?"
However, the Assassin, known as Gerov, remained motionless.
"You!" the knight was angry and wanted to continue to be violent, but was stopped by Mu. The merchant slowly approached the captive, grabbed his helmet, and ripped it off. Sure enough, blood was spilling from the corners of this Gerov's mouth, and it was clear that he was dead.
"This!" the knights who arrived were shocked,
"He's not Gerov!"
"What about Lady Jairo?"
"Jerov, Jerov, you bastard out for me!"
"MD, get me someone now!"
Seeing that the group was about to fall into chaos, Asona yelled, "Silence!
Hearing the roar of the lord, the chaotic knights immediately fell silent. Ai Sona glanced at Mu and saw that the other party nodded, so she continued to order, "Everyone, line up, and then take off your helmets and confirm with each other that there are no strangers!"
Because these people in the camp are basically from Norma and know each other, so, at the moment when they took off their helmets, two more people suddenly attacked, and then were crushed by the knights, but soon, these two people were also not moving, blood oozed from the corners of their mouths, and they should be dead.
"Suicide on the spot if the mission fails, what a professional. Mu twisted the whiskers on his lips, "This is not the style of those assassins who hide in the shadows. ”
"They could be the ones who do dirty things for the royal family. Aisona said suddenly.
Mu didn't expect the princess to suddenly interject, and was slightly surprised, "Dirty?, I've also heard that some big people will raise loyal servants to do things that may damage their reputation." Well, these people are it. ”
"Yes, I think it's someone sent by Harlaus. The princess replied, startling the knights around her.
"Then, Your Highness, what should we do?" said one of the knights, "as long as we can ensure your safety, it doesn't matter if we risk our lives." ”
Ai Sona glanced at Mu again, and the merchant stepped forward and said, "I suggest blowing the horn first and calling the people of the Blood Blade back." Then, double the number of patrol teams, make sure to make sure the camp is safe, and finally, remember the patrol route of the impersonated soldiers, send someone to search, and maybe find their remains. ”
Then, he turned his gaze back to the princess's position.
"Then let's do it. The princess nodded, a low horn sounded from the middle of the camp, and the soldiers took action.
"Your Highness!" Soon, a knight hurried back, "There is another soldier missing, and we have not been able to find him!"
"What?" Kress, who had been lurking near the camp, was deeply glad as he watched the camp search for a while. She had just changed into the clothes of the hapless soldier and was about to blend in with Isona's troops, but she was a little slower, or she would have been found out by now.
"Damn idiot," she cursed at her hapless counterparts who had risen several notches of vigilance as she quickly took off her armor, she didn't plan to continue this assassination, after all, unlike those dead soldiers who were good at playing with their lives, she was an assassin who really took money to do things, if she didn't even have her life, what was the use of the bounty? What's more, she couldn't die yet.
Soon, she took off only a single coat, and the cold wind of winter blew and made her shiver. The northerner's sturdy physique had allowed her to survive in an unknown number of crises, and this time she had to complain about it. The patrol soldier who passed in front of her seemed to be just an adult, and as a result, his warm clothes Kress couldn't fit at all. Therefore, she had no choice but to take off her cotton coat and put it on top of the single coat in great pain despite the cold of her armor. After a difficult ideological struggle, he reluctantly disposed of his original clothes so as not to be discovered, and ended up in such a situation, which made Kress, who has always been very patient, angry.
Just as she got up to leave, a hand grabbed her ankle, and at the same time, a hoarse cry of "Assassin!" was suddenly heard from the bushes.
"Oops!" Cress secretly said the pill in her heart, she underestimated the physique of the young man who practiced martial arts in the village, but she didn't expect to wake up so quickly. He quickly broke free from the nasty hand, kicked the soldier again, and ran towards the woods.
The whole camp heard that shout, and Aisona wanted to chase it out without thinking, but was stopped by Muyi, he looked at the knights around him and said, "You protect Her Royal Highness the princess, just come and chase a few with me!"
When the knights heard this, they immediately ignored the protests of Her Royal Highness the princess and formed a circle to protect her in the center, while the other slightly younger ones followed in Mu's footsteps and crossed the bushes not far from the camp in three or two steps. They soon discovered the last trace of the Assassin's back, as well as the stunned soldier.
"Don't run!" The three knights chased after the assassin's back, and the remaining two also planned to chase, but were stopped by Mu, "He seems to be alive, you two quickly carry him back." ”
The knight looked at Mu's serious face, looked at his unconscious comrades on the ground, and finally carried out the order. And Mu also turned around and chased towards the forest, but just after a little delay, the assassins and knights had already run away. However, the heavy armor of the knights easily carved a path through the forest, and he only had to follow the broken branches and leaves to quickly catch up with the wave.
Soon he spotted one of the knights, who had fallen into a trap and was struggling to climb up. Seeing Mu's head poking into the hole, he immediately pointed in a direction. The merchant nodded, and quickly chased in that direction.
Sure enough, after running for a while, he saw a second knight. He was sitting under a tree, already fainting, and not far away, there was a large stone lying quietly that was suspected to be the murder weapon. Mu compared the position of the stone with the dent of the helmet on the door of the knight's head, and chased in the direction where the stone was thrown.
It didn't take long for him to see the last knight entangled with the female assassin, oh no, to be precise, the female assassin was strangling the knight with a flexible vine. She saw Mu chasing after her, casually threw the unconscious knight aside, took out a dagger from the single coat and pointed it at the merchant, and her tone was a little pleasant, "I thought it was another trip for nothing, but I didn't expect 20,000 dinars to chase after me like this, I was so lucky!"
Kujit Mu squinted slightly, and also raised the long knife in his hand, "Ha, I didn't expect my head to be so valuable." ”
"Of course, I don't know why, but the bounty on your head suddenly doubled several times in the winter. Chris waved his dagger at Mu, "But it doesn't matter, it's all mine anyway." As soon as the words fell, she slammed her right foot, and in an instant, she was bullied in front of Mu.
"So fast!" Mu sighed in his heart, and was about to retreat, but the assassin's dagger had already attacked from below, and he quickly swung his left fist and hit the assassin's wrist, which was regarded as blocking the blow, but the cold hilt smash of his right hand was also blocked by the opponent. Mu suddenly took a step forward and wanted to grab the assassin's dagger wrist with his backhand, but the assassin would not be easily restrained, and with a twist of his wrist, he not only dodged Mu's hand, but stabbed him straight into the chest along his arm.
Mu had to take a step back, but in front of him, the assassin's emerald green eyes were still getting closer and closer, and he didn't give up. Damn, Mu continued to retreat, but his right leg was suddenly tripped up, his body was crooked and he lost his balance, and the assassin withdrew his outstretched leg, jumped on Mu's body, and stabbed him in the ribs, but it was blocked by the armor under the battle robe, and the blow was not fatal. Qi, the assassin cut irritably, then raised the dagger again, and stabbed straight at Mu's unprotected face, and Mu took a heavy blow, instantly woke up from the vertigo of falling, and grabbed the wrist under the stab. Seeing that the prey still dared to resist, the assassin quickly withdrew his other hand to help, and Mu, who felt the increasing pressure, simply put down the knife and grabbed the assassin's wrist with his right hand, trying to prevent the assassin's dagger from stabbing into his eyes. The battle between the two was at a stalemate, and while resisting the Assassin's full strength, he was also busy observing the Assassin. First of all, the dagger in front of you, gray, should be iron, judging from the potted front, it should not be a good iron. Anyway, an assassin who doesn't care about his own weapons is the first time Mu has seen him. The hand holding the weapon is quite fair, and it should be a northerner. Ah, worthy of being a northerner, on such a cold day, he is still wearing only a single coat, what a heroic. His gaze moved down a little... Well, it's so big, even the clothes are full, and they are worthy of being northerners. Regardless of the face, but the figure, there doesn't seem to be anything bad about a northern woman, not only this female assassin, but also Jamila, and even Emgrede, who has a one-sided relationship, are all particularly hot.
Ah, thinking too much, Mu shook his head. As if feeling the sight of the faux pas, the strength of the assassin's hand became greater and greater, and his body gradually leaned forward, pressing all the strength of his body on the dagger, Mu felt that his arm was already a little unable to support it, there was no doubt that if he continued like this, he would definitely die.
Mu thought for a while, his wrist continued to exert force, and when he felt that the assassin's strength had reached the limit of his bearing, he suddenly lost his strength, his wrist instantly deviated to the left, and the dagger quickly stabbed down, but only stabbed Mu's sideburns, and the assassin, because he suddenly lost support, fell headlong on Mu's body. And Mu, taking advantage of the assassin's unstable center of gravity, overturned her, and then took advantage of the situation to half-kneel up, intending to hold the assassin down, Chris naturally would not let him get his wish, and suddenly flew out and kicked Mu to the ground and staggered for a while, and when the two stood up at the same time, the distance between the two sides was widened again.
Now it's in trouble. Mu Dark said badly, this assassin is too fast, close combat can't be avoided at all, and at such a close distance, his long knife can't be used... Ah, now I don't even have a knife.
Seeing that the other party was unarmed, Kress was just about to attack, when he suddenly saw Mu take out a wooden whistle from his arms and quickly put it to his mouth, and then a terrible scream pierced the forest.
"What are you doing?" said Kress warily raising his dagger, protecting his chest.
"This," Mu waved the wooden whistle in his hand, "The whistle for help from Blood Blade, it is estimated that it won't be long before they arrive." As he spoke, he assumed a fighting stance, "Come on, see if you can kill me before they arrive." ”
Hearing this, Kress took two steps forward first, but when he saw Mu's mocking smile, he hesitated for a moment, and finally took two steps back, "You're lucky this time!" After speaking, he turned around and left decisively. Mu still maintained his fighting style and did not move, and after a while, he was relieved to see that the assassin had indeed left.
He picked up the knife and withdrew it from its scabbard, then woke up the stunned knight and turned back towards the camp. As for the reinforcements, Mu shook his head happily, there is no such thing as a whistle, that whistle is a whistle that communicates with the one-eyed dragon, and that sharp whistle does not mean anything, to be precise, the Blood Blade Knights are probably gathered in the camp now.
"Hmph. Mu let out a few mocking laughs and disappeared into the woods.
