Chapter 1

In order to join the Ninth Defense and avoid being recognized, Isabel deliberately spent a lot of money to have a skilled blacksmith create a metal mask, the appearance of the mask also has delicate patterns, it looks elegant and noble, as long as it is worn on the face, the voice will change slightly. In addition www.biquge.info she also used a few dragon skins given to her by her father to have the most famous local tailor make a fur coat with a hood, and also made gloves and leather boots from the remaining leather, which was not only soft and comfortable, but also resilient, and resistant to bullets and flames. If the Bloodline wears it, it can do anything on a sunny day.

That night, Isabel put on her special dragon fur coat and leather boots, and then put on dragon skin gloves and a mask to cover herself tightly for fear of being noticed. Hiding from Hales and the other guards, she went to the palace gate alone and tried to enter the palace to persuade the king to join the Ninth Defense. When the patrolling guards spotted her, her mask looking terrifying in the white moonlight, the guards immediately became alert and pointed their guns at her head.

The captain of the guard thought she was suspicious and asked, "Who are you?"

She replied, "I want to see the king." ”

"It's still a woman, I think you're an assassin sent by the British. ”

"Please take me to the king. ”

At this point, two officials passed by, one of whom was a general and the other could be a minister such as an earl or lord. "What's all the fuss about here?" the general asked the captain of the guard.

"General, Lord Lord, you have come at the right time. The captain replied, pointing to Isabel, "This man wants to see His Majesty." ”

"What?" the general looked at Isabel in full armor and asked, "Who are you wearing a mask?"

"Someone who serves the king. Isabel replied.

"Serve the King, how can I trust you?"

"Please take me to the king, I want to speak to the king alone. ”

"It's okay to meet the king, but now, the British are our number one enemy, you go and kill a few British ** officials first, I will see, even if it is to kill a British ** official, see if you are really loyal to the king, otherwise...... You'll never want to enter the palace gates. Take advantage of my good mood to do it, and if I'm in a bad mood, I might get rid of you as a spy for the British. ”

"Good. A word?"

"It's a deal. ”

"The ships of the British are right in the harbor. ”

"I know, I'm going to go. With that, Isabel turned and left, disappearing into the darkness of the night.

Her instant disappearance caught the Lord's attention, and he said in shock, "She left so quickly, it didn't look like an ordinary person." ”

"yes, I'm aware of that, too. "Anyway, let's see how she performs, and now we're short of people." ”

Isabel quickly arrived at the harbor, where she watched everything from a small cabin. There are a large number of British ships anchored here, and a large number of soldiers are stationed there, if you want to get in, I am afraid it is more difficult than climbing to the sky, even if you can kill it, you can't kill it. She had her eye on a large warship, which she thought was the ship of the British high-ranking officer, with at least one general on it. So she jumped into the sea, silently swam to the side of the target ship, and easily entered the cabin through the gun's firing port. There were no guards in the cabin, only a large number of shells and guns, as well as drinking water.

Suddenly, she changed her mind. She opened a powder keg, poured out some gunpowder, which served as a fuse, and lit it with flint, and finally, she crawled outside through the firing port and silently swam away from the water.

After about twenty seconds, a thunderous roar broke the silence of the harbor, and a large and striking fireball instantly appeared in the middle of the harbor. One of the British warships was blown to pieces, and none of the officers and men on it survived, and the flames instantly surged to other ships, causing other ships to catch fire, causing chaos among the British troops stationed here.

At this time, Isabel had already come ashore, and she looked back at the ship and the chaotic harbor that had been ravaged by her, and the light of the fire not far away reflected on her deep eyes and shining mask, which looked particularly strange. Finally, she turned and walked into the forest.

She came again to the gates of the palace, and met the patrol captain again, who looked at her in amazement and said, "Why are you back again?"

She replied, "I have just blown up a British ship, and none of the soldiers on board have been spared, so this time you should let me go to the king, right?"

The captain didn't seem to believe what she said at all, and thought she was joking, so he didn't take it seriously, but just coped with it, "The king is already resting, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Isabel felt like she had been teased, and she wanted to rush in, knock down the guards, and go to the king alone, but luckily she suppressed her anger and didn't get into trouble on impulse. The guards were so difficult that if they dared to break into the palace, they might be considered assassins, so in order to avoid an argument, she had to promise the patrol leader, "Okay, I'll trust you again." With that, she left.

The guards were also whispering, and it seemed that they looked down on the masked girl.

Isabel returned to the manor and went to her room, where she took off her mask and sat quietly at the window, looking at the vast sea of stars in the night sky, and fell into deep thought. She was afraid that she had really been tricked, and if it was, the British would attack again, and the Danish people would be sacked by the war again, and she would also be the biggest sinner. However, she felt that she had gone too far, and the general who met her at the gate of the palace only asked her to assassinate a British ** officer, and did not let her blow up the ship, but she blew up an entire British ship, and at the same time took the lives of so many innocent soldiers, she would inevitably feel a little guilty.

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke her musings.

"Please come in. She said.

It was Hales who walked in, and he said, "Isabel, where have you been? ”

"I just went to the palace. ”

"What are you doing at the palace? Are you crazy?"

"yes, even I thought I was crazy!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I was looking for a suitable career. ”

Hales saw the mask on the table, picked it up, examined it, and immediately understood what she meant. "I see, you can't wait to join the Ninth Defense, and you're afraid of being recognized, so you went to the palace overnight wearing a mask to meet the king alone. ”

"You know it all. ”

"Then you should tell me about it, too. ”

"You don't have to worry about me. ”

"Let me ask you again, a British ship exploded in the harbor just now, did you do it?"

She was stunned for a moment, "Yes." ”

"Aren't you idle enough?"

"In order to join the Ninth National Defense, I can only prove my strength first. ”

"Could it be...... Have you seen anyone from the Ninth Defense?"

"I don't know, he asked me to kill a British ** official first to prove my ability. ”

"Who is that?"

"The guards became his 'generals'. ”

"He should be the supreme leader of the Ninth National Defense. ”

"Are you so sure that he must be the leader of the Ninth Defense?"

"Yes, because only the leader of the Ninth Defense will let you prove your abilities in such a way, and if your abilities are satisfactory to him, he will naturally invite you to join without the king's permission. ”

"When I went to the palace again after I had sunk the English ship, the guards still did not allow me to enter, and told me to come back to-morrow. ”

"Do you think it's that easy to enter the palace? it's hard to see the king, and it's even harder to join the Ninth Defense. The reason why they asked you to prove yourself is just an excuse to prevent you from going to the king, and in their eyes, what earth-shattering things can you do as a girl?"

"You mean to say that I was tricked by them?"

"No, I didn't think so. Instead of meeting the king directly, it is better to meet the highest official of the Ninth National Defense first, and if you want to join the Ninth National Defense, if you go directly to the king, you will not take the ministers in charge of the Ninth Defense too seriously, right? In my opinion, that general is the person of the Ninth National Defense. ”

"Why?"

"He is nominally a general, but in fact ...... It could be someone else, otherwise how would he dare to speak for such an important department as the Ninth National Defense? He also said that you should kill the British ** official, if he was not the Minister of the Ninth National Defense, would he dare to say such a thing to you?"

"You have a point, and it seems that I need to see this general first, but ...... I don't know the name of this general yet. ”

"You just have to remember what he looks like. ”

"I don't think he would have acknowledged my credit even if he knew that I had blown up the British's ship. ”

"It's hard to say. ”

"In this case, I still can't join the Ninth Defense, and I still can't serve the King. ”

"Don't worry, there's still a chance. As far as I know, tomorrow an official named Edman Larsson is going to the port to negotiate with the British, and his negotiator is Admiral Caffran Sedek of the Royal Navy. Edelman is doomed to fail in this negotiation, and after the negotiation, he will likely be assassinated by British killers, and I think you know what to do, right? ”

"I know what to do, it's a godsend. ”

"Good luck!"

Early the next morning, Isabel came to the bell tower of the port early in the morning and waited for the negotiator to appear. The British occupied the port of Copenhagen, which was like taking away the sun from the Danish people, and also made the sky of Copenhagen cloudy. Even when there is no sunlight, Isabel still wears her beautiful dragon skin suit and her beloved mask. She saw that the beautiful harbor of the past had been occupied by the British, and that enemy ships were sailing around the harbor, and a sense of anger arose spontaneously.

In order to show the sincerity of the negotiations, the Danish negotiating team also rushed to the port early in the morning, and the negotiator stepped out of the carriage, which must have been Ellman Larsson. Then, under the guidance of a British soldier, they boarded a large ship called the Brave.

Isabel waited patiently, without the slightest hint of impatience. A quarter of an hour. Half-hour. Minutes and seconds passed, and negotiations were still ongoing.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Danish negotiating team finally walked out of the "Brave", and the British troops were left untouched. It can be seen from the expression of the negotiator Ellman that the result of the negotiations is very disappointing and infuriating, presumably the British also put forward a lot of conditions, I wonder if Ellman agreed to these conditions, I saw him sigh a long sigh, get into the carriage, escorted by his entourage, and leave the port.

Isabel immediately jumped off the bell tower, fearing that the British would play tricks and secretly protect the security of the Danish negotiating team, also in order to attract the attention of certain officials so that they could take the opportunity to join the Ninth Defense. So, she followed the ruts and horseshoe prints of the negotiating team. She ran extremely fast, and soon saw the back of the negotiating team, and instead of being immediately exposed, she quickly climbed to the tree and silently jumped forward on the canopy, monitoring the negotiating team's whereabouts along the way. Hales had told her that the British negotiator was Admiral Caffran Sydeke, a scheming man with a knack for assassination. So, she now especially wants Kavlan's killers to suddenly appear and stop the Danish negotiating team. In this way, she can have a step to express her ability and attract attention.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard in the dense forest behind him. Isabel instinctively stopped on a thick branch and looked back. It turned out to be a large group of British cavalry, who quickly caught up with the Danish negotiators and surrounded Elman's carriage, and the two sides were tense, but the British had the absolute advantage.

Erman poked his head out of the window and replied forcefully to the British who came to intercept him: "What's the matter? How dare you intercept my convoy?"

A British officer handed Elman something like an agreement and said, "Your Excellency, our general has an order for you to sign." ”

"What, let me sign it?" Ellman quickly skimmed through the agreement as he opened it, "Again, I'm not going to sign it." ”

He also said that if you don't sign, he can't guarantee your safety. ”

"Are you threatening me?"

"It's not threatening you, it's trying to persuade you"

"Don't forget, this is not England. ”

"Then don't blame me. ”

Seeing that the British ** official was so aggressive, Ellman began to hesitate.

Isabel saw all of this in the tree and could hear their conversation. She knew that if Ellman signed, the dignity of the country and the king would plummet. So, she had to act decisively, and if Ellman was a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death, he would probably sign it.

"Are you going to sign or not?" asked the British officer to Elman.

This time, Isabel could not bear it any longer, and she jumped off the tree and landed firmly in front of the horse of the British officer, whose horse almost threw off his master in fright because of the suddenness of her appearance. She snatched the agreement from Ellman's hand and tore it to shreds. Everyone was stunned, and it was a little too strange to see a masked person suddenly appear.

Ehrman was not very afraid, for it was certainly not the British who dared to tear up the agreement, but his own, and he looked at the watery eyes in the mask, and guessed that the person wearing the mask was a woman, and said politely, "Ma'am, may I ask ...... you are?"

"God has sent me to protect you. Isabel said.

"It's really a woman. ”

"We can't sign, even if the British send all the troops, we can't sign. ”

The British ** officer pulled out a pistol and pointed it at her face and asked, "Who are you?"

Although Isabel only had a dagger with her, she did not hesitate at all, she took out the dagger, and with great speed, pierced the officer's heart, and then quickly caught the pistol that was about to fall from the officer's hand, killing a British cavalryman. The enemy simply has no room for reaction. She jumped to her feet, swung her dagger, and slashed the throat of one of the British cavalrymen, who were unwittingly cut open one by one and fell in a pool of blood.

In just a few seconds, only horses remained of this British cavalry team. The sight shocked Elman and his entourage, who could not believe it was real.

Ellman stuttered even when he spoke, and he was surprised that the masked woman had such skills, "You...... What exactly do you ...... Who is it?"

Instead of answering, Isabel asked, "Want Admiral Cavlan Sedek's remy horse?"

This made Ellman even more shocked, "What? no, it's not true, you go quickly, I don't want to hear anything from you anymore." ”

"Cavran's head will be hung on a tree branch outside the palace gate tonight. ”

"You talk nonsense. ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, and you heard me right, Cavlan Sedek, the British admiral, the man you negotiated. ”

"I just want to thank you for your life, and I don't want to hear anything else from you. The British will soon know about it, you tore up the agreement and killed so many Britons, I am afraid that the war will break out again. ”

"If you don't kill them, will they let them kill us? This time I'm going to make the British fearful." ”

But Ellman still didn't believe her, "I have to go back." With that, he ordered to leave.

Isabel soon returned to the harbor, to the bell tower where she had been, and stared intently at the "Brave" moored in the harbor, her vision so keen that she could even see through the glass of the ship in the office of British Admiral Cavlan Sedek. It seems that Caflan is not immune to this fate, and his death is only a matter of time. In this way, Isabel watched Sedek from the bell tower for an entire day with extraordinary patience.

In the evening, British General Cavlan Sidek began to eat in his office, which would be his last meal. (To be continued.) )..
