At some point, a short sword appeared in the assassin's hand, and the sharp blade slowly slid across Clifford's chest, and the freshly tied bandage broke. The cold metal scraped against the wound, and blood gushed out of the wound.

Retracting his dagger, the assassin looked at the hemostatic ointment and blood stains that had been glued to the blade, "It's a blessing that it doesn't look like it's poisoned." ”

"Thankfully. Clifford said dryly.

"So you still have the strength to care about other people's lives and deaths? Do you want me to add some food to you? Or just a little bit and let the blood dry is more pleasant?"

The Assassin spoke threatening words, but in Clifford's eyes, he was mostly showmanship. This person is obviously not good at persuading this kind of work, and probably killing the other party directly is what she is used to, so Clifford decides to shut up and listen to the other party's request first.

"Where's the entrance?" the Assassin's cold voice cut straight to the point, indicating that Iris had been under watchful eye all the time, and that even his conversation with Ferdinand was known to the other party.

"What entrance?" Clifford could, his mind racing to find a way out of the predicament, but after some intense thought, he reluctantly concluded that there was no way at the moment. There was no way to escape from the Assassins in front of him, and there was no way to help the Iris Regiment, who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

The loud sound of the hut collapsing spread far away in the silence of the night, and the dry planks were soon ignited by candles and flammable items in the house, and the fire tended to spread, illuminating the sky red. Many residents in the vicinity have been awakened, although it is only a slum, but if the fire is not controlled, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the city councillor.

The assassin decided to quickly solve the problem in front of him, so as not to be entangled by the approaching sheriff, "Two vigilant sentinels died, the rest were captured alive, a little drug solved the problem, and your employer ran away." ”

"Now, tell me the entrance to the ruins, and you irises will go in with us. The female leader of the Assassins quickly announced her decision, and it seemed that she had lost interest in "negotiating".

Clifford realizes that this is already an ultimatum, and this time he cooperates with "Is there a map? ”

"Sewers?" the female leader thoughtfully ordered her subordinates to take a map of lambskins.

Clifford was amazed that the Assassins carried such things as maps, and judging by their attitudes, it seemed that there were more maps of various areas of the city, which was not something that ordinary thieves could do.

He reached out and tapped somewhere on the map: "This place, through this wall, down the passage." ”

"Ruins down there?"

"It's an ancient sewer. Knowing the current situation, Clifford did not want to provoke the other party in meaningless places, and he was very honest in telling the truth.

"Go on. ”

"You know this is an ancient sewer?" Clifford was a little surprised, who were these Assassins, who knew so much about the city. It was thanks to Ferdinand that he was able to know the specific structure below.

"Isn't it surprising that this place was built on the ruins of an ancient city, and there are former sewers underneath?" the female leader asked her subordinates to re-bandage him, lest this temporary teammate lose too much blood and go to see the Grim Reaper before he could finish explaining his problem.

Is that a question in itself? How could an ordinary person know such an ancient thing so clearly? Clifford muttered to himself, pulling out a crumpled sketch, apparently hand-drawn by himself based on intelligence.

"Here, here...... And here," he gestured in three places, "three valves open to the entrance to the lower ruins, and that's as simple as it sounds. ”

"It does sound simple. "Neither the Female Chief nor Clifford thought it would be that simple. However, just like Clifford not long ago, she didn't have much choice at this time, her assassins had already arrived, and the sheriff and his men had already been dispatched.

"Don't play tricks, tell your subordinates, it's not difficult for each of you to figure out the origin, if you don't want to harm your wife and children, just cooperate with us. "The evil female leader uses a common trick, but the routine often works so well. Clifford soon met with his men and quickly persuaded them to cooperate temporarily, both for their own lives and for the lives of their wives and children back home, and they quickly agreed to all conditions.

Clifford quickly finished his job and once again stood in front of the female leader as a temporary ally. He said: "If you want to cooperate, you must at least have a name." So ma'am, maybe you can tell me your name or codename?"

"Name?" The female Assassin lifted her hood, her long black hair coiled back and a small badge in a bun. Painted with mouse-like animals with soft, fine hair, Clifford recognized as chinchillas, docile creatures that never actively attack people.

"According to the custom of the nobility, it is all right to be called by the family emblem, right?" asked the female Assassin.

Of course, there is no problem! The clan emblem originated from the coat of arms, due to the disparity in force, the powerful knight on the battlefield, facing ordinary soldiers is simply a killing machine, which often causes huge losses to both sides of the battle, from the lord's point of view, even if the victory will be a big loss.

As for the knights, they also have their own pride, and slaughtering ordinary soldiers will only damage their honor, and they will give priority to those opponents of equal strength on the battlefield. However, this is not an easy task, once the battle begins, the chaos will only develop in a more chaotic direction, and it will be difficult for even good commanders to interfere in the battle in the field, all they can do is put their reserves in the right place at the right time.

Because both knights have a common need, they have to give themselves unique markings so that their own soldiers and opponents on the opposite side will recognize them. The shield is undoubtedly the most suitable choice, and the large shield surface is naturally a good place to make marking graphics. Not only that, but the outside of the knight's armor can also be covered with a battle robe, which is embroidered with the same shield pattern, which can be easily identified by both the enemy on the front and the friendly army on the back.

The original coat of arms is generally metallic and primary, and sometimes the color of animal fur. With metallic or primary colors as the background color, metallic colors are mainly gold and silver, if you take into account the cost can be replaced by yellow and white, the primary colors are dark red, red, green, blue, purple, black, etc. Draw a pattern with another type of color on top of the shield base color, for example, if the base color is metallic, use the primary color to make the pattern.

The patterns are generally simple segmented figures or geometric shapes, but because of the high probability of repetition and difficult to distinguish, more and more coat patterns are used in animal and plant patterns. Even so, there will still be graphic duplication and similar situations, and the families will have to sit down and negotiate, and if they can't solve the problem, they will have to use war as a last resort. Because such accidents are happening more and more frequently, countries have had to set up special badge management bodies to coordinate and solve such problems in order to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.

The coat of arms became a status symbol for knights and nobles, and those nobles who did not have the opportunity to hold a shield in their hands and wear battle robes came up with such things as insignia, using the same pattern to indicate their identity and lineage. Later, similar badges were adopted by professionals to indicate their professional rank and affiliation, and such professional badges were generally issued by the authorities of various professions.

Some long-standing families took pride in their coats of arms, and gradually adopted the emblem as their surname, as was evidently the case with the Assassin leader. When Clifford saw this, some of his original resistance disappeared completely, and working for an unshady Assassin organization and serving a silver-level aristocratic assassin meant something completely different. The aristocratic assassins and the ordinary assassins are, of course, two completely different species!

"So Ms. Totoro, what are we going to do next?" Clifford looked like he was serving his employer professionally, as if nothing unpleasant had happened between the two groups before.

The sound of a fight could already be heard in the distance, and the sheriff moved quickly, bringing with him almost all the power he could use at once. The infantrymen were heavily armoured, holding long oval shields in one hand and short swords in the other. The ovoid shield is 120 centimeters long and 60 centimeters wide, although it is not very agile in action, but it can protect its whole body well, and its weight and hardness can also resist most of the impact.

The short sword is about 70 centimeters long, which is slightly shorter than the average long sword, and it is a common weapon in the battle of the legion, because the long sword above 90 centimeters can easily cause accidental injury to one's own people in dense formations. This is the right choice in the midst of tonight's fighting in the ghetto, where the tunnels are relatively narrow and the formation of soldiers is difficult to spread.

In addition to this, the infantry were equipped with short spears, which could be thrown if necessary. The archers that come with them can interfere with and suppress the opponent's caster, and the bow can attack at a distance of up to 200 meters, which is much larger than most bronze and black iron casters, and of course the archers are also very effective when chasing enemies.

The narrow terrain and low buildings of the ghetto were very advantageous for the Assassins, but they did not have a good solution against the hedgehog-like security army for a while. Unless they were willing to pay a lot of casualties to break into the formation of the security forces and disrupt them, the Assassins just continued to block and harass them until they received a clear order, and the security forces were not in a hurry, but slowly pressed over step by step.

After all, the assassin is not a profession suitable for frontal combat, and in front of a well-formed queue of warriors, he can only keep retreating. Totoro observed the situation of the battle and decisively gave the order to retreat, and the security forces were willing to chase after them, but in this regard, the advantages of the two sides were reversed, and unless the siege was successfully completed, they had no way to stop the Assassins from leaving the battlefield. The Assassins quickly ran down the alleys and rooftops, leaving only a few corpses on either side.
