Chapter 131: Entering the Enemy's House at Night
Princip and Bruno waited at the gate of the city for several hours and did not see Frank and the others, and they couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć It had been a long time since the agreed time, and Princip kept pacing back and forth, and the tension was brought to its apex. Bruno was also worried, but seeing Princip's expression, he couldn't add any more burden to him, so he had to endure it silently.
"It's almost dawn, why haven't you come back. No, I'm going to check it out. Princip could no longer sit still, and was about to walk in the direction of the city.
Bruno hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Elder, bear with me a little longer." If the young master comes out and you go in again, then the trip will be delayed again. Princip sighed heavily, he didn't know this, but he was just concerned about it, and the current situation made him completely unable to calm down.
"Elder, let's do it else. As for you, just keep waiting here, I'll take a look around there, and I'll be back to you as soon as anything happens. If the young master comes back, you don't have to wait for me, you go out of the city first. I'll be able to catch up with you in a moment. Princip nodded, and now it seemed that there was only one way to do it.
Bruno was just about to leave when a figure leapt from the roof in the distance. The two of them immediately hid in the shadows and observed, and the figure seemed to be seriously injured and limped as it walked. The man kept looking back and forth, as if he was hiding from someone, and the man gave a secret signal after making sure that no one was following him. The two listened carefully, and this was the guild's contact code, and it was the code for emergencies.
The two of them hurriedly stepped out of the shadows and ran towards the man. "What's going on, young lord, what about them?" Princip grabbed the Assassin who had nearly fallen.
"They were ambushed, and the young master was caught by them. I was able to get out of it with another person watching outside, and we were both found as we escaped, and I was the only one who escaped. The Assassin had several wounds, and Princip quickly pulled out a pill and fed it to him.
"Elder, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go out of the city first. Bruno suggested.
"No, the young master was captured, we can't just leave. Besides, there will be martial law in the city after today, and it will be difficult to enter again at that time, so let's go back to the hotel first. Princip helped the Assassin as the three of them hurried towards the inn before dawn.
Upon returning to the inn, Princip surveyed the Assassin's injuries, but fortunately he had not suffered any internal injuries and should be fine for a few days of recuperation. "Elder, the two Assassins we sent to explore the path have been discovered. They will do what they want, sending their own Assassins to pretend to be ours to lure us in. They set up an ambush in the council chamber, and most of the people who participated in the sneak attack were killed and wounded, and the young master was also wounded and captured. The two of us discussed that we must report this matter to you, so we did not rescue the young master, and asked the elders to punish them. The Assassin struggled out of bed and tried to get to his knees. Princip sighed and pressed him.
"Forget it, you did the right thing. Even the two of you can't get the young master out safely, and now it's imperative to understand what they want to do. Bruno, you will go out of the city to-night, go to Budapest, and ask the members of the garrison to report the matter to the headquarters at once, and have them send reinforcements. "What happened was so big, Princip was unusually calm, and there was no chance that a few of them would have a chance of rescuing Frank. At this time, we can only hope that the members of Budapest will arrive as soon as possible, otherwise everything is hopeless.
Bruno took the order and retreated, and now he could only take one step at a time. Princip opened the window of the inn, it was already dawn, and the city lord's mansion in the distance was shrouded in a golden morning glow, today was going to be a very difficult day.

The Brotherhood's branch stationed in Budapest was strategically located where Bert had two high-level Assassins and dozens of mid-level Assassins. Eileen also made a point in Budapest when she was looking for Bert, when Abby was just about to leave for the Holy See. After the two of them communicated, they decided to install a magical teleportation array in Budapest for the purpose of communicating with the headquarters. However, since Bert had not yet returned, and the Brotherhood had not signed a contract with the Oslan Empire, they did not invite the Imperial Wizard to help. Eileen's chapter in Budapest had placed a temporary teleportation circle, which could not be used for a long time due to the lack of magicians in the Brotherhood. In order to make the magic circle work at more important times, the Brotherhood rarely uses this teleportation circle, and only uses it for emergencies.
When the head of the branch saw the elder's handwritten letter, he immediately understood the importance of this matter and immediately decided to activate the teleportation circle. Except for one high-ranking Assassin who remained stationed in Budapest, the rest of the mid-level Assassins were divided into thirty men and traveled to Randall City with another high-ranking Assassin to wait for the Elders.
At the end of the spring of the fifth year of the Emperor's calendar, the newly restored Brotherhood faced its first great challenge. The first batch of Assassins sent to Budapest City were still ten days away from their destination, in fact, even if these Assassins had now arrived at the front line, it would not have much effect, these Assassins had not yet been on a mission, so it was okay to let them carry out garrison tasks, but it was far from being competent to let them go deep into enemy territory to carry out rescue missions. In addition to this sudden incident, the branch in the Holy See was originally a very important stronghold of the Brotherhood, but since the civil strife in the Holy See, no news has been released. According to the inference of everyone at the headquarters, it is estimated that it will not be spared. The current Bert only felt that there was not enough manpower at all, the ability of the newly trained assassins was too low, the number of assassins of the older generation was too small, not to mention the need to guard against the sneak attack of the high-level assassins who had already rebelled at any time, and there was no manpower to support the front.
Bert was sitting in the room at this time, and Vasily and Wuxian were flipping through the books teleported by the branch's magic array. In addition to Princip's letter, there was a letter from the branch president. In his letter, he gave Bert a detailed account of the recent events in Budapest, and before the new group of Assassins arrived in Budapest, Celtic personally visited the door and invited the Assassins from the Order to serve as temporary guards. Due to the suddenness of the incident, the branch president sent out all the Assassins except those who had been assigned to carry out the garrison duties. Now the chapter doesn't even have a single errand caller.
