Chapter 1126: The Black Hand That Can't Be Resisted
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, when building the potion workshop, Lelouch deliberately chose a secluded place to buy a huge warehouse with an underground storage room, and then spared no expense to renovate, expand and renovate, the entire underground storage room was expanded into a huge potion workshop has been used for the elf pharmacists to work, and the warehouse on the ground is used as a storage place for goods and materials, in order to let the frost and snow elf pharmacists who have been working underground for a long time not feel bored and boring, Lelouch also deliberately carved out an area on the ground to build a garden for the elves to restγ Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After the arrival of the frost and snow elves led by Tangier, these frost and snow elves, who are pharmacists and part-time mages, quickly arranged a large number of protective circles, magic traps, reverse teleportation secret doors and illusion enchantments around the station.
As for some self-conscious or self-confident guys, no one can get out of the warehouse after stepping into the warehouse.
In the past, some spies and spies were hiding outside and peeping quietly, but recently the situation has changed suddenly, the number of eyeliners has begun to increase, the tentative intrusion into the workshop has begun to increase day by day, and there have even been mages analyzing the protective circle of the workshop and trying to destroy it.
In the office of the management on the second floor of the workshop, Kenjiro, one of the 'security captains', gently lifted the curtains to check the dark street outside.
There is no such thing as a street lamp in another world, and there is no such thing as a street lamp, as a substitute is a lamp called a magic crystal lamp, but this kind of magic lamp is safe but expensive to counterfeit, and in the free city, even in the upper area, it is only installed in the way that the central area is mainly spread outward layer by layer, and now in the edge of the upper area of the apothecary workshop, the number of magic crystal lamps has become very sparse, not so much for lighting as just to point out the direction of the carriage.
It was precisely because of this unusual gloom that Kenjiro could detect how many people were lurking on the rooftops and shadows of the street outside, and even in the room, he seemed to feel countless pairs of malicious eyes projecting towards the workshop.
"We are like defenders besieged by the enemy in a lonely castle~ hehe. β
On the side, Gus from "The Legend of the Sword Wind" is lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, and the huge dragon slashing sword is placed in a place where it is readily available, although it looks like a lazy feeling, as long as there is any accident, it only takes half a second for this heavy sword to return to Gus's hands and become a terrible murder weapon for killing.
"That's true, how many people do you think there are out there?"
"About fifty or sixty people. Gus snorted: "After all, this is a city, and using too many people is hitting the ruler of the city in the face." β
"But tonight seems to be a little different. β
Rubbing his eyes, Gus stood up, walked to the window with heavy steps, and slightly observed the situation outside.
Kenjiro, a companion who wears armor even when he sleeps, is already accustomed to this companion Kenjiro who has to take off his armor in addition to taking off his armor in the shower.,Although there are a few times when it is also recommended that Gus take off his armor and sleep.,But it seems that the long-term mercenary career and the battle with the Apostle of the Hand of God have made Gus develop the habit of falling asleep in full armor.,Now it's not comfortable to take off the armor and fall asleep Gus.γ
Looking out through the window, Gus looked out at the dark streets, this is the edge of the upper district of the free city, close to the city wall, there are many chambers of commerce here, there are their own warehouses and freight stations, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles and people, there are not too many houses and other buildings around, looking at the past, only sporadic lights dotted in the darkness and the brightly lit central commercial street of the upper district in the distance, like two worlds.
It's a little different!
The darkness is the best cover for spies, spies, and assassins, especially those who are good at stealth, quickly approaching the station under the cover of darkness, and even following the mages to dismantle the chamber's protective circles and magic traps. Although it is difficult to spot them under the cover of darkness and magic, for Gus, who has developed amazing battlefield instincts after fighting on the battlefield all his life, the different wind flows and the smell of the air betrays these people.
Gus sneered: "It seems that some people are going to do something big tonight,"
"Then I'll take care of it. β
Hearing this, Kenjiro turned around and walked out the door.
"Don't be impulsive, man, this time the other party is different from usual, not those spies and spies who retreat when they see the enemy, but a large number of assassins, not to mention that the other party dares to do it directly, obviously sending chess pieces that can be cut at any time, and the goal is either to destroy the workshop or kill us, no matter how good your martial arts are, once you are besieged, it will not be comfortable." β
"It seems that our president has been making life difficult for some people in Free City lately. β
"Hehe~ The uncomfortable ones are desperate to get rid of us, and it seems that someone has already broken in first. β
At this moment, Gus and Kenjiro both received an urgent contact from Tangier, the leader of the twin snow elves, and the center of the magic circle showed that a magic trap in an area had been touched, and the other party had already broken in with a powerful assassin first, and five or six magic traps were dismantled one after another and even entered the warehouse, and the other party obviously realized that it had been discovered and hid its body again after alarming the magic trap, and it was speculated that the assassins who broke in were probably still stranded in the warehouse, so I don't know if they would be looking for a way to the underground potion workshop.
"It seems that the other party has sent some powerful ones this time, those people outside are bothering you, I'll go and find out the assassins in the treasury. Kenjiro walked out after saying that.
"Is it okay? When the enemy is in the dark, do you want someone to help you? β
"Let them help you, you're going to have to deal with forty or fifty people. Kenjiro's voice came from outside the door: "Don't underestimate the thousand-year-old Hokuto God Fist, when it comes to hiding in the dark to assassinate the enemy, I won't lose to these assassins." β
Assassination? No matter how you look at it, your fist is no different from open killing.
Gus shrugged his shoulders, apparently not very much with Kenjiro's identity as an 'assassin', his destructive punches, which always killed the enemy in an exaggerated manner, which in any way did not look like the most demanding characteristics of killing with one blow and killing the enemy silently.
After pressing a hidden button in the room, Gus also ran downstairs and rushed to the door, and in this short time, eight warriors in one-piece armor and full armor also quickly rushed over, each of these warriors did not have the slightest confusion in their eyes, and the order forbidden, like the most well-trained soldiers, was enough to show that each of them had a good strength, which made Gus very satisfied.
And in fact, Gus can't be dissatisfied, each of these humans from the summoning system is loaded with the template of the warrior profession in the "World of Warcraft" game, although the level is still very low and can not use all the skills, but after a few battles, these warriors will grow like a plug-in, and if they can get a set of tank outfits for them, maybe they can resist the dragon for a while.
Directly pulled out the dragon slaying sword Gus and pushed open the door: "Okay~ boys, come with me, and you will come back alive for me later, understand?"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Armed with helmets made of fine iron, the eight warriors walked out with Gus to face the enemies who were about to break into the workshop.
In the moonlight, Gus could already see those ghostly assassins hovering around the periphery, except for those who were brave and dared to break in first, these assassins were obviously a little worse, and they could only avoid the protective circle little by little, and dismantle the magic traps before daring to advance.
"Remove the protective circle in front of you and let them in from the front. Gus used the communication wizard to contact Tangier and tell him to close the circle.
I could have been able to leisurely drink coffee in the office while watching if these guys would directly trigger the trap and be killed when they dismantle the trap, but considering that so many assassins let them infiltrate all directions of the workshop like termites, it will be troublesome to pull them out one by one when the time comes, so ββ
Pulling down the black cloth covering the dragon slaying sword, Gus said with high interest: "Right here, let's solve all the remaining ones." β
As Tangier in the basement gently manipulated the center of the magic circle, the protective circle that was cleverly linked together by the elven mages slowly opened a gap, and Gus and the others, who were originally covered by the illusion enchantment, were quickly revealed, facing the people who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, dozens of assassins and two mages who were shrouded in black robes and were detected by magic seemed to be a little surprised, and they were a little confused about the behavior of Gus and others who took the initiative to open the protective circle.
"If you want to come in so much, then come on!"
Gus, holding the dragon sword, walked forward first: "What's the matter? Don't tell me you're scared at this time. β
The huge volume of the Dragon Slaying Sword obviously brought a double shock to them at this moment, because the volume of this sword is so amazing, just looking at it feels so heavy that I am afraid that it will take two or three people to lift it, and such an amazing giant sword is actually easily held in the hand of the man in front of him with one hand, if he can really swing this sword, its power is not to mention leather armor, even the armor made of fine iron will be easily torn apart.
Some chose to retreat at the moment, or they were ready to take a detour from the side, while others were ready to gamble on whether Gus would actually swing the greatsword, the size and weight of the sword would not be very fast even if it was barely wielded, as long as they could find a gap to stab the poison dagger into the gap in the armor on his body, then the victory would be decided in an instant.
I seeββIt doesn't seem that they were sent by the same force, so they are both potential enemies?
Judging from the clothing and actions of these assassins, Gus could conclude that they were not from the same organization, and when he saw that someone was about to test him, he naturally wanted to avoid being allowed to make an example of him.
