Chapter 343: Cassano's Shadow
"Boom!" A small group of heavily armed Cassano warriors walked through the streets of Tekken Castle with neat steps. It was already midnight, and the entire Tekken Castle was almost resting, so the sound of the patrolling warrior's boots could be heard far away on this quiet night.
When the group of warriors walked away along the street, a man wrapped in a black cloak slowly walked out of the dark alley, this person looked at the peak of the Iron Fist Castle not far away, stretched out a crystal clear finger, and drew a miniature magic circle on his chest very casually, a breeze blew, and the man in the black cloak disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared here.
A drunken man stumbled out of the alley on the other side, he rubbed his eyes, looked at the other side incredulously, he clearly remembered that there was a person standing there, why was it suddenly gone, could it be that he was dazzled by the mistake? The drunk man shook his groggy head, and was about to continue walking home, but suddenly a big hand poked out of the darkness and covered his mouth tightly, and the drunk man just wanted to struggle, he felt a sharp pain in his throat, and soon he didn't know anything.
A man with curly red hair gently dragged the drunk into the dark alley behind him, he had slit the drunk's throat just now, and after a few minutes, the man walked out of the alley again, he looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he re-disappeared into the shadows.
An arm slowly poked out from under the cliff, firmly grasping a protruding rock, and then a short-haired man quietly poked his head out, and after carefully looking around, he slowly climbed up from the bottom of the cliff. The peak of the Iron Fist Castle is a moat for ordinary people, but it doesn't have much protection for those powerful adventurers, such as the short-haired man, who doesn't even use any tools, just relies on his hands to slowly climb up.
The location of the short-haired man is the mountain behind the entire Iron Fist Castle, which is the place where Brady turned into a Thunderbird and flew away with Arthur, standing here can look at the scenery on all sides, it is indeed a good place for recreation, but naturally no one stays here at midnight.
The short-haired man took out a large roll of hemp rope from his storage pocket, he fixed one end of the hemp rope to a big tree, and then threw the rope into the cliff, and after a few minutes, the hemp rope kept dangling, and one after another men in black tights climbed up from under the cliff, and after a while, there were more than a dozen companions around the short-haired man.
The short-haired man made a few gestures, and the companions who climbed up immediately covered each other and left, while the short-haired man looked at the moon looming between the clouds in the sky, estimated the time a little, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.
According to the intelligence of the inside line, Ryan and the Windrun Marksman Legion have disappeared in Cassano for more than 1 month, and at the same time, the Imperial Capital Expeditionary Force entered the prairie, so everyone naturally came to the news that Ryan and the others had gone north. Without Ryan sitting in Cassano, the current Cassano defense force is much worse, and Allendo is indeed a very powerful druid, but he alone is not enough, so the Southern Freedom Alliance decided to concentrate the elite to launch a sneak attack on the Iron Fist Castle.
A few days ago, Senate, Freedom Paradise and Mochizuki City all sent enough masters, with the help of the inside line of the Freedom Heaven caravan, to sneak into Cassano in batches and at different times to hide, and tonight was the attack time they agreed with each other, but I didn't expect Cassano's acting lord Allendo to suddenly hold a meeting that I don't know what to do, and called all the important people of Cassano to the council hall, which made the assassination team of the Freedom Alliance have to change their original plan.
However, with the strength of this assassination team, it is not too difficult to sneak into the top of the heavily guarded Iron Fist Castle, and several of them are enough to support the stealth skills of a dozen people to avoid the patrols of the guards, and of course, there are also high-level warriors who lead the team to climb up the back mountain, and then lower the rope for their companions to reach the top of the mountain......
This kind of method is unbelievable for ordinary adventurers, but for the assassination team of the Freedom Alliance, it is a normal method, and soon, the assassination team quietly passed through several checkpoints on the top of the Iron Fist Castle and slowly approached the location of the council chamber.
A high-level assassin of the assassination team was hidden in the shadows, slowly moving forward along the wall, he was actually a high-level killer of the Soul Eater organization under Sennat, he was too skilled in doing this kind of assassination, the guards of the Iron Fist Castle were simply decorations for him, unless the killer himself showed his body, he was confident that no one in the entire castle would be aware of his existence.
The Soul Eater Killer slowly moved out of the walls of the council chamber in the shadows, he listened intently for a moment, only vaguely heard someone talking in the chamber, it seemed that the leaders of Cassano were still in a meeting, the killer's eyes showed a cold look, he raised a palm and began to gesture to his companions outside.
At this time, the mutation suddenly appeared, and the Soul Eater Killer originally put his body close to the wall, so that he could hide in the dark shadows, but the thick wall suddenly exploded, and a fist slammed directly into the killer's head in the flying bricks and sand, and the Soul Eater Killer, who didn't know how many targets he had assassinated, didn't even snort, his head was immediately blasted to pieces, and his body was blasted several meters away.
Elendor's crisp voice echoed over the silent Iron Fist Castle: "I didn't expect a guest to come, I, as the host, must receive you well!"
Allendo's words seemed to be a signal, and countless torches were suddenly lit around the council chamber, and a large number of soldiers of the Iron Fist Castle Guard Legion held their shields high to occupy various key passages, surrounding the infiltrating killers, and Vivien and Adela also walked out of the council hall side by side, behind them, Adams and other important officials of Cassano.
Alendor was about to speak, but from the opposite side, that is, among the group of killers who were surrounded, a man came out and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Elendor." The man finished speaking, and with a very casual movement lifted his cloak, revealing his face.
