Chapter 111: Backstabbing
He did that dream again.
In the dream, countless Chaos warriors rushed like a wave towards the Great Wall of Despair, the white wall.
The sky was obscured by black clouds, the sun was dim and cloudy, and sunlight could barely penetrate the dense clouds. Under the dark clouds, flying monsters filled the sky, emitting piercing screams.
On the ground, terrifying creatures such as Chaos Warriors, Norscan Barbarians, and Chaos Eggs pound the walls. The Hell Chaos Cannon made a loud noise, and the burning cannonballs destroyed the city wall, and the Great Wall of Despair, which was tens of meters high, collapsed like an avalanche...... Kislev soldiers, Imperial soldiers, and even a handful of Bretonnian knights fought bloodily under the walls. Dwarven helicopters flew through the sky, only to be torn apart by flying monsters dozens of times their size......
Rhodes knew it was a dream, but he couldn't wake up. The battle was incomparably real in front of my eyes, the sound of soldiers screaming, the sound of horses neighing and falling, and the crisp sound of weapons colliding. Gradually, the combined forces of humans and dwarves were defeated, and countless chaotic creatures and even demons emerged from the gaps in the Great Wall of Desperation......
Just when people were desperate, Rhodes heard a voice from the ground - only to see the corpses on the ground strewn with corpses standing up again! Just when people thought that this group of undead creatures was going to attack humans, they rushed to the gap in the city wall with messy steps, and countless undead gathered together to block the gap with their bloody bodies.
At the height of the fighting, the corpses of the Chaos Warriors and the Undead Soldiers piled together and re-elevated the walls......
Just as Rhodes was shocked by the scene in front of him, the bear god Urson suddenly appeared in front of him, and the giant bear roared and pushed himself out of the dream. Rod woke up suddenly, only to see a short rickety figure appear in the dim room.
"Who!
Rod exclaimed. The other party did not respond, and in the black leather coat, a pair of small eyeballs glowed green.
Rod instinctively felt that something was wrong, and was about to get up and draw his sword, when the figure galloped and pounced. Like a whirlwind, an afterimage, and in less than a heartbeat, the assassin raised his knife and almost slit Rod's throat.
Relying on his extraordinary reflexes, Rhodes retreated sharply and was spared. The Assassin approached again, its small body so nimble that it seemed like it was only a matter of moments to run and jump.
The next moment, Rhodes felt a fluffy monster ride on his head, and the other party covered his mouth with those deformed strange hands, and the blade rested on his throat...... As long as it was a few tenths of a second late, Rhodes assured that he would be sung tonight.
But in this instant, Rhodes stretched out his hands and grasped the dagger. The assassin pressed hard, but found that he could not pull half a minute, and the sharp blade slashed through Rod's palm, leaving a deep wound that could be seen to the bone. But at the moment of life and death, Rhodes had completely forgotten the pain, and while the other party was still on him, Rhodes grabbed the assassin's tail violently! Yes, it actually had a tail!
However, the only weakness was too smooth, and Rhodes was just about to grab his tail and slam the assassin against the wall, but his bloodied hand slipped in mid-air...... The Assassin contracted on all fours before flying towards the wall, stepped on the wall steadily, and then did a backflip and landed perfectly!
Nezumi Assassin!
Rhodes suddenly realized that the assassin in front of him was not a human.
As soon as the Nezumi Assassin landed, he pounced again. His speed was so fast that Rhodes accidentally cut a cut in his thigh, and the Assassin repeated his old trick and tried to backstab him. But this time, Rhodes was prepared.
When the other party flashed behind him, Rhodes turned around sharply and slapped it away.
The mouse squeaked to his feet, and he realized that he had stabbed the human several times with a sword, which was not as great as the human man's rough slap.
Failed assassination, escape?
But there was no chance, only to see that the wooden door of the room was slammed open by a loud vibration, and the white bear Ursock roared and pounced fiercely on the injured nezumi assassin on the ground.
The injury slowed down the nezumi, and there was no time to throw smoke bombs, or even to escape, and the nezumi assassin was directly trampled under him by Ursock. The white bear's claws stretched out, piercing into the skin and muscles, and under the bear's paws, the nezumi assassin was already drenched in blood.
"Ursok, don't kill it. I'm going to find the murderer!"
Rod hurriedly shouted to stop it.
Only then did Ursok gasp for breath and let go of the bear's paw slightly. Rod pulled out the Fu Soul Dagger he was carrying with him and stabbed it into the rat man's palm. Anchored it to the ground......
Ursok let go of the bear's paws, and the Assassin's back was already a blur of flesh and blood.
"Say, who sent you, I'll make you die a good death." ”
Despite his injuries, Rhodes grabbed a chair and sat down in front of the Assassin. He was going to interrogate the rat, and while most of the ratmen didn't know the lingua franca, as an assassin rat, Rhodes was sure that it only knew human language. At the very least, it must have been some human who sent him.
The rat struggled, but there was no sound other than an annoying squeak.
At this time, the guards also rushed in from outside the house. The room was filled with people for a while...... Seeing the scene in front of them, all the guards looked at each other for their dereliction of duty. They were tasked with guarding and protecting the lord, but instead allowed an assassin to slip into the lord's chambers. Judging from the wounds on the lord's body, it was obvious that there had been a bloody battle here just now, but fortunately the lord was fine...... No, it should be said that there is something...... Rod's palms were dripping with blood, and his thigh was also cut open, and blood was pouring out of the wound. The doctor was already bandaging, and the gauze was wrapped around and around......
"Tell me, who sent you!"
Rod let out a low roar and stomped on the Assassin's head.
But the nezumi assassin remained unmoved, gritting his teeth, enduring the pain, and not saying a word. Even the squeaking sound is no longer made.
Just as Rhodes was about to take the next step of torture, he found that the rat under his feet was already lying on the ground, motionless...... A hint of dark green liquid is oozing from the corners of the mouth...... Apparently, he killed himself by biting something resembling a poison sac......
Professional Assassin ...... Rod can only sigh with emotion.
"It must be Pavel!"
Bear Knight Captain Sibes roared angrily—
"You went south this time and the united nobles forced him to sign a treaty, and he must have held a grudge, so he sent assassins to assassinate him. ”
Indeed, it makes sense...... Moreover, Pavel's motives are indeed the deepest...... But the only evidence has become a bloody mass of corpses on the ground. Without evidence, Rhodes knew he couldn't do anything.
The accusation of murder against the Tsar has just been signed, and it does not seem that the time is for another turmoil. At least, for the nobles, they only want stability, only want to have guaranteed interests, Pavel has already signed a treaty, if he is gone, as the next king, whether he will recognize this contract, there are two questions. But this matter can't stop there. Originally, he was only going to leave Alves down, but now it seems that he will have to send more men.
