Chapter 3

Although the assassination of the Duke of Wellington was published in several newspapers, it did not say that he was dead, which made Isabel a little worried. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info did the assassination fail? Or did the government deliberately want to cover up in order to stabilize the morale of the army and the people?

What's even more strange is that in just one week, martial law has ceased to exist in and around London, the Royal Guard and the police are no longer as busy as they used to be, all wanted posters about masked ghosts have disappeared, and the citizens of London have gone about their lives as usual, seemingly ignoring masked ghosts, arson, and assassinations of high-ranking officials.

Isabel is still unsure of the Duke of Wellington's life and death, and she fears that the Duke of Wellington is not dead. So, in the dead of night, she visited the royal cemetery at night. She caught the keeper of the cemetery who was patrolling at night, and when she saw that the manager was very young and should be new, she said to him, "It is a pity that you should come to manage the cemetery at such a young age." ”

The young man probably had heard of the masked ghost for a long time, and when he saw the mask that exuded a murderous aura, his body trembled due to excessive fright, and he begged, "Please, don't kill me." ”

"I ask you, is the Duke of Wellington dead?"

The young man hesitated, "He...... He ......"

"Don't hesitate, speak quickly, or I'll let you die a terrible death. ”

"But ......"

"You still won't say it, will you? I can see that you are an honest man, and the government will not let you say it, right? Your government will make it difficult for people, and your king will know to let others sacrifice their lives to prove his loyalty, your king is a tyrant, the government is the bondage of your soul, and you are only slaves of the government. ”

The young man started to get hysterical, "What do you want me to do?"

"Is the Duke of Wellington dead?"

"Please follow me. ”

Isabel was taken to the tomb of the Duke of Wellington, where she carefully examined the stone tablet with the Duke of Wellington's name, Arthur Wellesley. "When will the Duke of Wellington be buried?" she asked.

The young man did not hesitate, "The day after the duke's assassination, the government was afraid of affecting the morale of the army, and even more afraid of causing the senior generals to compete for the power of the field marshal, so they deliberately kept the mourning secret and found a suitable opportunity to bury the duke secretly. ”

"Why did those wanted posters on the street suddenly disappear?"

"In order to remove the shadow you have left on the hearts of the people, the government has ordered all wanted posters to be torn down and to prohibit the publication of news of the Duke of Wellington's death in the newspapers. ”

"Your government has gone to great lengths to cover up the truth. ”

"I've told you everything you want to know, so you should be satisfied, right?"

Isabel crouched down and grabbed a handful of soil beside the stone tablet, and examined it carefully, "This soil is still fresh, and it is true that it has just been buried not long ago." Suddenly, out of nowhere, several vicious dogs appeared and barked at her.

Immediately afterwards, the patrol surrounded the cemetery with torches, as if they knew in advance that there was a situation in the cemetery. Isabel knew it was a trap, she jumped up, jumped on a statue, and then jumped directly out of nearly twenty meters with a monkey jump, and the soldiers and military dogs could not keep up with her at all, and could only watch her disappear into the darkness, and the patrol could only return empty-handed again.

Isabel galloped like a ghost through the old town. It was only when she was sure she was out of track that she gradually stopped. She thought that she had not come in vain, and the assassination of two high-ranking British generals was enough to prove her strength. During her time in London, the Detective Department and the Military Medical Department were helpless against her evil deeds, so that she did not have the opportunity to learn the power of British agents. In her eyes, it was just a bunch of pigs and dogs. However, she did not want to accept it when she saw it, and her inner desire was as terrible as a tumbling tsunami, and she even wanted to take advantage of the leaderlessness of the British army to wipe out the entire British royal family and government.

At this time, she suddenly remembered the toy store near the port of London. The shopkeeper was Blanca's man, and it was almost time for him to return after sending the British traitor Stoke back to Copenhagen. So, she came to the toy store again and quietly entered through the skylight, deliberately waking up the shopkeeper who was sleeping soundly. The shopkeeper was startled by her and told her to wait in the living room.

Not long after, the boss also came to the living room and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

She took out the secret documents she had snatched from General Gambier and handed them to her boss, saying, "I think you know everything. These documents are a structural diagram of the armament of the British Royal Navy and the new artillery, and I hope you will take it back to Copenhagen and give it to the right people. ”

"My shop has been closed for several days, and I just came back not long ago, and I'm going to close again, isn't it suspicious?"

"It's a confidential British document, and if you send it back home, you're going to be a great deal. ”

"But once we are suspicious, the people from the military medical department will focus on this place, and we will inevitably fall into passivity, and some information will be obtained by them. ”

"This is nothing more than the naval deployment of the British and the new cannons, which are not important documents, and our king has secretly sent people to the United States to prepare for the purchase of their steamships and new submarines, and by the way has asked a few engineers to give us some guidance. ”

"That's a good idea, but I recommend that you send this document back to Copenhagen. ”

"It's not worth it to make me travel all the way just to deliver a document. ”

"You'll have to help me borrow a few people from Helgenburg. ”

"The reason why I stayed in London is because I have a mission, not to listen to you. ”

"I tell you, Britain is in chaos now, and I have eliminated a few people who can lead the army to fight, and the military exploration department and the military medical department are no more than that, and now, I need the Ninth Defense to send reliable personnel to cooperate with my operation, and strive to destroy the British royal family in one fell swoop. ”

"Do you think it's possible? Napoleon can't do anything with the British, it's up to you?"

"I'm not Napoleon. ”

"There has been no news from the evil rat, how can you let me cooperate with you?"

"Do you know the identity of the rat?

"Nobody knows, 'Evil Rat' is just his code name. ”

"Whoever he is, I just want to ask you, will you help or not? I don't want to miss such a great opportunity, this is the best time for us to defeat the British, and I am afraid it is the only time, once missed, there will be no chance, and you will become a sinner of the country, and I will condemn you on behalf of the country for 'delaying the war'. ”

"You don't have that power yet. ”

"The king is very supportive of me, and he will give me this power, even if it is for me to cut it first and then to play. ”

"The more the king supports you and believes in you, the less you can make your own decisions, and you should report to Helgenburg in person. ”

"Joke, how is this possible? It takes a long time to get home from London, you know? Once I go back and come back again, won't I miss the great opportunity to eliminate the British government?"

"This toy store is our secret point of contact, and it's my job to 'stick to the point of contact', and I don't want to go against the task given to me by my boss because of your own selfishness. ”

"If I had personally reported to Helgenburg or the King, I would have said: 'The owner of the toy store opposed my plan of action, and he wasted great opportunity by deliberately not cooperating with me in order to buy time for the British'. ”

Isabel was so aggressive that the shopkeeper was so suspicious that in order not to cause internal disagreement, he had to agree, "Okay." How many people are you going to have?"

"At least twenty people, all of whom I am in command of, and the two elites, Hutt Burbis and Goliath Larson, must be included. ”

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Ninth Defense to grant your request. ”

"You just have to do what I say. ”

"I can only tell my superiors about the matter first, and then my superiors will report it to the upper echelons of the Ninth Defense. ”

"Then you have to thank you! After the deed is done, you have a lot to do. ”

"I also tell you, don't act privately these days, and once the British are alert, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to cooperate with you. ”

"Don't worry, I'm waiting for the heroes. ”

"Everyone in the Ninth Defense is the elite of the country and is highly regarded by the king. Such a big move, even if my superiors agreed, it had to be approved by the king. ”

"The king will agree. ”

"Then I'll leave tomorrow. ”

"Good luck! Don't bother you, I'll go first. With that, she walked out of the living room, stepped out of the skylight, and disappeared into the vast fog in an instant.

With two hours to go, Isabel hurried back to the bell tower.

In her opinion, the whole of England has been made by her, and even more chaotic, the former empire on which the sun never sets, has become raw meat to be slaughtered, and soon it will surrender, Denmark can take advantage of the situation, and finally become the king of the North Sea, and the lord of Northern Europe, King Frederick's dream of reviving the Nordic empire can be realized. In this way, Isabel herself did not waste the painstaking cultivation of her father and mentors.

When the first rays of the morning sun shone into the bell tower, she put away her mask and retreated into the darkness of the corner, where she could finally sleep soundly.

Minutes and seconds passed.

A terrible, hoarse voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Isabel, Isabel. ”

She snapped her eyes open and sat up straight, alert to the silence around her, realizing that it was just past noon. So, she let out a long breath, lay down again, and went back to sleep. Suddenly, the voice came again: "Isabel." ”

This time, she heard it clearly, and at last she couldn't bear it anymore, so she stood up at once, and asked tentatively, "Who are you?" and with no one around answering, she then asked, "Do you want me to kill you?" She wondered, could it really be that she was hallucinating? Just as she turned around and was about to go back to sleep, a sharp sword pierced directly through her chest, and at that moment, her eyes were glazed, and her whole body seemed to lose consciousness. She looked at the black-robed man in front of her in surprise, and the moment the black-robed man looked up, she saw that it was her old enemy, Casto Braden.

Castor's face was still covered in pemphigus foliaceus, and with an eerie evil smile, he looked like a demon from hell, "Isabel, remember me?"

Isabel couldn't believe that the invulnerable dragon fur didn't protect her, she wanted to fight back, but she couldn't move, but she still insisted, "You...... It's you ......."

Casto pushed her to the ground, and the moment she fell, the surrounding environment changed, and the floor instantly turned into an abyss. She felt like she was falling rapidly, suddenly falling into a mountain of skulls. When she struggled out of the pile of skeletons, she found herself in a deserted cemetery, with flocks of crows and vultures hovering in the blood-red sky, some vicious dogs fighting for the bones of the dead, and everything around her could only be seen in hell.

The hoarse voice echoed through the cemetery from time to time, "Isabel, you're finally here." ”

Isabel didn't know what was going on, she could only be alert to her surroundings, and she said to herself, "Where is this?"

Suddenly, there was a scalp-numbing shrill laugh around, mixed with sharp cursing voices, and wanted to say, "Isabel, you...... Dead, the king to whom you are loyal will die, and the country to which you are loyal will be divided. ”

"Shut up, who the hell are you?"

The hoarse voice and the shrill voice suddenly merged, "London will be your place of loss, you will pay, you will pay the price......"

"Shut up. Suddenly, a cross appeared directly in front of her, and a man was tied to it, and she fixed her eyes to see that it was Vanessa, the maid she had died, who had been like a sister. "Vanessa, why are you?" she exclaimed.

Vanessa opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw her former master, she was very happy, but she was very sad and said, "Isabel, why did you come to this place too?"

"Vanessa, is it really you?"

"This is hell, you shouldn't have come. ”

"I was killed by Castor. ”

Vanessa was overwhelmed with grief and tears, "No, no. ”

"Don't be sad, I'm here to save you. ”

"No, if you save me, you'll never be able to go back to your family, run, don't come to this place again. ”

At this moment, the earth shook violently, and the ground cracked into a bottomless abyss, and Isabel fell into the pitch-black abyss on the spot, and the skills she was born with were no longer there, and she soon lost consciousness in the darkness.

In the darkness, a bell rang suddenly. Isabel suddenly opened her eyes, stood up suddenly, and looked vigilantly at the darkness around her, only to realize that she was still in the bell tower, and that the terrible scene just now was just a nightmare. So, she didn't think about the dream just now.

The loud bell was like a victory bell for her, and it made her spirits fly. She firmly believes that it will not be long before Britain will surrender and destroy the great enemy of Britain, and she will be the first hero of the country. She looked out through the glass of the bell tower, and saw that the sun had just set, and the Palace of Westminster was surrounded by royal guards, and from time to time a troop or two of cavalry would pass by in the streets, as if London was about to be under martial law. It's strange why this place is surrounded and not somewhere else?

Soon after, a lot of cavalry also came to the courtyard, including some people with military dogs. A number of foot soldiers also climbed the roof, including many officers, as if they were going to conduct a major search of the entire Palace of Westminster.

Isabel watched all this patiently, wondering why the soldiers were approaching the bell tower, and she felt that something was wrong, but she did not act rashly, and remained quietly watching. At this time, she saw a person in the courtyard holding a megaphone and shouting in the direction of the bell tower: "Kamen Ghost, you have been surrounded, surrender quickly."

Isabel was astonished at this, and wondered how the enemy would know that she was hiding here, and she immediately raised her alertness, and then looked around the bell tower from different angles, and sure enough, all the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the bell tower from all sides. At this time, the sound of a dog barking suddenly came from the bell tower, and she realized that she had no way to escape. So, she put on her mask, opened a small door in the bell tower, and walked out, and quickly climbed to the spire of the bell tower, and then leaped gracefully over the road, dodging the gunfire of the soldiers, and finally landed firmly on the top of another building, and muttered, "Just these people want to arrest me?"

The Household Cavalry did not want to miss such an opportunity, and they pursued it all the way. Isabel jumped over the houses like a wind, hoping to be able to quickly get rid of the pursuers, but the enemy sent a large number of military dogs, these dogs are specially trained, they cooperate tacitly, their sense of smell is sensitive and can even smell the smell left by the enemy five days ago, they use barking to signal their companions, dog trainers can identify the location through the barking of dogs, most of these dog trainers are from the military medical department, which is specially used to cooperate with the royal cavalry to search for the enemy, as long as the cavalry team follows these military dogs, they will definitely be able to find the target.

Isabel had repeatedly thrown off the cavalry's pursuits, but was eventually found by the military dogs with a keen sense of smell.

In addition, Sir Victor Frankenstein, known to the British as "Frankenstein", personally led a five-man cavalry team in pursuit of her. The cavalrymen wore cloaks, their faces were covered by hoods, and instead of the uniform red uniforms of the British army, they wore Elizabethan armor and were armed with medieval-style double-edged axes and swords. This is the age of the Industrial Revolution and firearms, and why do they use these backward weapons?

The Military Exploration Department and the Military Medical Department were not idle at all, they secretly launched an operation, a group of five, and the soldiers were ambushed in five ways where the target could appear, and they had only one goal, that is, to capture or kill the masked ghost alive.

This time, Isabel was considered to have encountered a strong enemy, she fell into the enemy's ambush many times, and suffered from the enemy's random shooting, but fortunately the enemy used ordinary bullets, and she was protected by a dragon's fur coat. Although she has the ability to kill some enemies, once she stops to entangle with the enemy, she will attract more pursuers, and possibly the Witcher. All of this was something she never expected.
