Chapter 16: The Assassination

"Light and darkness, the strength of faith comes from the faith of believers, and the stronger your faith, the stronger your God. ”

-- The 36th Grand Elder of the Illumination Sect of Bolsi

"Didn't you say a military meeting, how did you look at the celebration banquet? Which member of the Kafala family rode a horse and threw himself to his death?" said Roddock, who sat down with the other three lords of Giant Eagle City after greeting several familiar lords, to Domt, who was sitting down together.

Domt laughed, the two looked at Mott together, King Allen and Marquis Mott and his wife were still sitting on the high platform, Mott didn't look at this side at all, but Alan and the two looked at each other, toasted to the two, and the two hurriedly raised their glasses to echo Allen.

Turning around, Domt looked at Rhodok and said, "Brother-in-law, you know that Your Majesty is the king, don't forget that it was in this banquet hall that my father came back from a drink and became ill. As he spoke, he looked meaningfully at the wine on the table, picked up a piece of roast meat, threw it into his mouth, and took a big sip of wine.

"Don't talk about Alan. Rhodok shook his head, there is no way to say this kind of thing many times, Alan has not been sorry for him, as a vassal he should not talk about his own king.

"Guess what. Domt saw that Rhodok was not in a high mood, and his tone changed to a teasing tone, and the schadenfreude on his face was very obvious.

"Huh?" Rodok looked at Domt's expression and was also happy, it seemed that there was a good thing.

"Hey, hey. Domt smiled, leaned closer to Rhodok and whispered, "Something happened to the Kafala family, Mott was intercepted and killed while hunting, and the guards fought hard to save him, and the assassins were all Kakamans." ”

"Oh?" Rodok gave Mott a playful glance and continued, "What does Eren mean?"

"Your Majesty is nominally holding a banquet, but in fact it is to convene us together to discuss countermeasures, you don't know, Mott almost escaped from the White Castle with his family, don't look at you didn't bring anyone, I got the order to bring a large army, but I didn't even leave a person to guard the house. Domt said and looked at the three big lords under his command and continued: "This time it is estimated that there will really be a fight, the Amber family has wanted to weaken our power for generations, this time the Kakaman clan is in turmoil, the king will definitely not let go of this opportunity,"

"Does Gao know who did it?" asked Rodok after taking a sip of his wine.

"Now it seems that the Eight Achievements are Moraes. Domt glanced at the table of the Kakamans sitting on a group of big-nosed Kakamans and motioned for Rhodoc to take a look, and said, "See, Mott asked the lords under his command to gather, and the lords of the Kakamans came at most half." The rest of the people who didn't come were probably Morath's people. ”

Rhodok touched his beard and looked at the Kakamans, feeling that something didn't seem right, but he couldn't tell.

"Brother-in-law. Domt continued: "This time I brought people here but all for you, my title is already the highest, and there are enough fiefs, and I have never been on the battlefield, this time I can follow you for a long time, it is not easy to fight a war, this time I will strive to at least give you the title of a marquis, anyway, I can't let these mountain people have such a big right, but it's a pity that it's too far away from the angry horn, otherwise it would be better to get some fiefs." ”

Rhodok didn't speak, still looking at the Kakamans, who lacked a sense of danger like these pampered generations of nobles, and had a strong instinct for danger after fighting pirates several times a year.

Several Kakamans stood up with wine glasses as if to toast Mott, and the moment they stood up, Rhodok seemed to see the gauntlets beneath the wide robes.

Do you want to assassinate again? Rodok thought about this possibility and looked at it, no, these are lords with fiefdoms, and they were used to assassinate Mott in Eternal Night City, Rodok didn't believe that Moras had this kind of ability, unless

"Your Majesty! Be careful!" Roddock, who thought of this, saw that several people were getting closer and closer to Mott, and also closer and closer to Alan next to Mott, and suddenly stood up and shouted.

The reason why he called His Majesty instead of Allen's name was to make everyone in the hall react as quickly as possible, the king was in danger, and the king, who was talking happily with the queen, was also surprised, and then looked at the few Kakamans, who had already drawn their swords at the king with fierce faces after Rhodok shouted.

The king pushed the queen away with one hand, and was about to draw the sword leaning against the table, but the Kakamans had been planning for a long time, and before the king could react, a long sword stabbed through Eren's shoulder and nailed it to the wooden chair. Had it not been for the king's ability to slip down the table and dodge in time, the sword would have struck him right in the heart.

Rhodok and Domt and others had already rushed forward with their swords, Rhodok jumped on the table and stabbed to death the Kakaman who stabbed the king, and then jumped to the king's side, the Mott man was gone, his wife, damn it, who knows if this was his wife, Rhodok remembered that everyone had never seen Mott's wife.

"Ellen! hold on!" said Rodok, holding on to Alan's shoulder, and the king was sweating profusely in pain, and his eyes were full of anxiety as he looked at Rodok.

The whole hall was in shambles, and a group of drunkards and the generally undrunk Kakamans were no better, and in the blink of an eye there were already dead and wounded, and the Kakamans did not seem to have suffered any casualties other than the one who had been killed by Rhodok's sword.

Several lords who were confident in their swordsmanship cooperated with the four of Domt to pull those lords who had little combat power and were already drunk behind them, and the Kakaman clan covered Mott and slowly walked towards the door.

A Kakaman rushed to the door to open the door of the banquet hall, swinging his sword to kill the old man with the white beard standing in the doorway.

The old man's broad cloak covered the slight protrusions in the north, and when he reached behind his waist, he pulled out the decapitating axe that had rushed down and hung on his back. The blade of the axe pushed forward and landed on the Kakaman's stomach, and with a twist of his wrist, the Kakaman collapsed in a twisted expression of horror and pain.

The old executioner was guarding the door with a decapitation axe, and seeing this, several good men under Allen's command were not ambiguous, and rushed up with the four of Domt.

Mott roared in the crowd and divided four men to deal with the old man at the door, as long as the door was opened, they would have a chance to escape.

The old man lunged in front of the door with a decapitation axe in his hand and an axe in both hands, and four middle-aged Kakamans surrounded him with swords in hand. The old executioner's face was still the same expressionless face, cold as if it was about to freeze, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.

The four of them rushed up together, the old executioner had to get out of the way, three rushed up to fight the old executioner, and the other hurriedly went to open the door, the old executioner ignored the sword that one of them stabbed at him expressionlessly, and slashed at the Kakaman in front of the door with the end of the axe, and the axe fell heavily above the ear of the Kakaman, and a sword pierced the old executioner's shoulder at the same time as the brains exploded.

The old executioner turned his head sideways to look at the man who stabbed him, and the man was startled by the old executioner's eyes, and the old executioner's hand with the axe pulled back, let go of his hand and grasped it again, and was holding the middle end of the handle of the decapitation axe, and with an axe, he half-pushed and half-slashed at the neck of the Kakaman who had stabbed himself with a sword and kept trying to push the sword into his body.

The Kakaman's grip on the sword let go, and he stepped back with his hands around his neck, and he could feel half of his neck cold, reaching out to remove the hot blood and the flesh that had been turned open. Taking two steps back and falling to the ground, he frightened his other two companions and jumped away.

The sword on the old executioner's shoulder was let go by the dead Kakamans on the ground, and the weight behind the sword and the tip of the sword were directly ripped out of the flesh on the old executioner's shoulder, and the cold expression on the old executioner's face finally changed, from cold and terrifying to a vicious devil.
