Chapter 121: Assassination
The Black Flag Army obviously didn't care about the caravan's existence, and they left very quickly, as if something important was happening ahead.
Duke has received information from Dragon Slayer, the battle in the City of Stars is going well, the lord of the Holy City has been severely injured by a lord of the City of Stars, Morris has taken control of the situation in the City of Stars, and Dragon Slayer's troops have withdrawn from the City of Stars and are stationed outside the city in order to respond in the event of an uncontrollable event.
Outside the holy city, the avenue is full of black-clad soldiers, and pedestrians need to pay enough money to pass.
"What?"
"A tax of 30% of the value of the goods is to be paid. ”
The caravan foreman received a tax increase notice from his peers, and sighed and shouted, the world is not good, if this continues, their caravan can only go back to the tribe to farm.
"Taxes are high, but you can walk around the city, and you don't have to take the big road for your horse team. ”
Duke gave the foreman an idea.
The foreman had a bitter face, "Whoever dares to walk around in the sphere of influence of the Holy City, as long as he is caught evading taxes, his entire net worth will be confiscated, and our lives will not be saved." ”
Duke felt that this was a difficult problem, the country would still use violent means to collect taxes, the holy city has been established for a long time, and it must also think of corresponding countermeasures, otherwise, smuggling is rampant, how to ensure their income, income is related to their survival, the army is supported, and it is a matter of course to use strong means, Duke patted the foreman on the shoulder to express comfort.
The foreman paid the tax, and Duke and his entourage entered the city smoothly in the caravan, and when they arrived at the caravan, the leader of the caravan quietly arrived at Duke's room alone.
"I received news from the Shang Gang that a reward was being offered for the arrest of a man and a woman. After speaking, the foreman took out the portrait, and it was the appearance of Evil Three and Hathaway.
Duke glanced at the foreman and gave him a Titan Stone as a token of gratitude, "You can just know about them." ”
The foreman smiled bitterly and pushed the Titan Stone back, "The old man is here to hope that you will leave as soon as possible, the caravan is full of people, and when you meet the four of you, it is more conspicuous, I am afraid that someone will make money and move the crooked mind, which will be unfavorable to you and me." ”
Duke sent the foreman away, and Evil San and Ah Wei came to his room, "The wolf lord has launched a wanted notice for us, he should still have contact with the Holy City military master, you can see the conditions he prescribed." ”
The bounty announcement was written on papyrus, and Evil San took it, "The wolf lord is really generous, and he asked for my head for 30 million dollars." ”
"Hathaway gave out 50 million dollars. ”
Ah Wei was taken aback in his heart, this is a considerable number.
"We can now expose the information, at least the leader of the caravan has suspected us, in the city, the evil three and I don't have to worry about it, but Hathaway and Ah Wei's goal is too obvious, it is better for us to disperse, the evil three may distract their attention, Ah Wei can get out of the city as soon as possible, go to Tarawi to find support, and I will take Hathaway to set off as soon as possible. ”
Duke made arrangements and did not consult them.
Evil San didn't object, he understood that Duke had arranged well, and he must know that the other party had sent the green wolf and the grass wolf, and the two masters of the assassination were tracking them.
Evil three is a master of assassination, many times, the other party's cultivation is not terrible, the scary thing is that you don't know who the killer and assassin are, what means they use, when there is enough manpower, you can take vigilance means to defend, now it is not realistic.
Hathaway is an obvious target, this goal will limit their use of force to a large extent, and now in the Holy City, the territory of the military master, when the military master returns to the city, whether he is injured or not, once he receives it, Duke, his biggest enemy, is on his territory, and it is possible to do anything.
Ah Wei glanced at Hathaway, Hathaway unconditionally approved Duke's plan, she knew that it was safest for her to follow Duke.
Evil San leaves with Ah Wei.
They will be relatively safe, Duke can also reduce the burden of attention accordingly, the evil three as a mobile force, one person can also play a role in counter-killing, he has lived with wizards in the wolf valley, even if he does not know the green wolf and the grass wolf, there should be a way to screen them, which will reduce the pressure on Duke and Hathaway.
The Holy City is full of exotic atmosphere, Duke wears a goatee and carries Hathaway with a donkey, like a father and daughter shopping in the market.
"Lord, go back to the city. ”
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. ”
A dusty procession entered the city from outside the city, looking tired and demoralized, but, when they returned to the city, there was a clear light in their eyes, this was their city, this was their people, like wounded wolves returning to the wolves, they needed food and recuperation, and the war had made them suffer greatly for the first time.
The wide, gneiss-lined streets fell silent for a moment, and everyone stood on both sides of the street waiting for the horse caravan to pass.
The military lord sat on the horse and couldn't see that he was injured, Duke muttered, either strong or impostor, if it was really the military master, swaggering across the street, not to give the opponent a chance to assassinate, Duke looked curiously at the soldier sitting on the horse with a big black beard.
"Huh?"
One of the guards in front of the military master's horse seemed to feel Duke's gaze, and when Duke saw the guard, he was shocked, although he only saw at a glance that his cultivation was different from ordinary people, which made Duke feel like looking at the moon in the water, which could be felt but not approached.
The guards saw that the other party took their eyes, and they didn't pursue it, it was an eventful time, he was seriously injured again, and now he was able to get away with returning to the city, which is a great luck, the old immortals of the Earth Alliance have always been thinking about the fat of the God and Demon Continent, but he didn't expect to use the power of the God and Demon Continent to give himself a blow this time, it was really ruthless and high, just now he saw that the old man in the crowd should be a young man, his eyes are clear, and his divine sense is strong, if he is not in a hurry to return to the castle, he will definitely meet him.
Duke helped Hathaway to stand up, suddenly someone in the air shouted, a missile directly hit the horse of the military master, the crowd on the street scattered in all directions, and those who could not evacuate quickly fell to the ground, obviously, they often faced such accidents have been very orderly, Duke used his body to protect Hathaway from being injured by debris.
Twelve people, showing a pear blossom-like attack, the military master on the horse was directly beaten into a sieve by the assault gun, this is not the era of cold weapons, Duke did not expect that the assassination was so successful, and the military master died so quickly, he knew this, why did he let the dragon slaughter fight a battle in the city of stars.
However, the local battlefield was not confused because of this, and the army master's men had a methodical contraction counterattack, using hot weapons, the effect of hitting the enemy was obvious, and the effect of being hit by the enemy was also obvious, but in a few breaths, twelve people were all dead.
No, Duke saw that the army master's soldiers were also dying, the ability one? His speed was very fast, and he was about to kill the fallen military master, Duke's heart skipped a beat, it was really a rare high-level assassination, there were many commendable places, the firepower was stacked and arranged, the rapid peripheral fire cover, the ability was advanced, and the twelve people who had just died were sacrificed for the sake of the three capable people, close to the military master.
Duke's psychic sense can sense everyone's movements on the entire local battlefield, and he is also tracking the impact of everyone's movements and actions on the battlefield, which is a wonderful process.
The Master's guards behaved similarly to normal guards, but Duke knew that the fast-advancing Assassin would be dealt a fatal blow soon.
At the time when the assassin's knife slashed at the military master, his guards were blocked, and it happened that a short spear hit him on the head, and the head was the weakness of any intelligent creature, and if it was not protected, it would die, which was also the unique feature of Fuso's national armor, which could make the human mind extremely well protected.
The other two assassins were obviously stunned, this scene made them a little suspicious, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and when they were paying so much, the change happened in front of them, a universal guard, an inadvertent blow, let their proud King of Killers die, it is really a huge insult to the title of King of Killers.
The two of them used tactical moves interactingly, maneuvering quickly, and their goal had to be considered at the same time as the warlord and the idiot's guard.
Duke only sweated for the rest of the killers, if he guessed correctly, which little guard is the military master, he didn't use any ability in the blow just now, but he can use such a magical marksmanship, it can only prove one thing, his cultivation is in the transformation realm, that is, infinitely close to the Heavenly Monarch realm, how difficult it is to use the artifact to fight the supernatural transformation, in his hands, it has become a matter of course.
The two assassins, suddenly separated and combined, like twins, coordinated just right, the guards were in front of them, the two looked at each other, the double knives were stabbed, the guards' eyes lit up, their legs were half-bent, and a square strip in the sleeve of their hands was like a weapon in ancient times to smash the knife in the opponent, Duke's eyes lit up, it was really a good weapon, and the other assassin ate the air and was beaten out alive, and the two did not hesitate to start breaking through.
Duke watched the bullets fly behind them, and was rushing in the direction of Duke, and Duke rolled and hid in the alleyway with Hathaway.
"Who?"
A slightly nervous voice with a sweet magnetism.
"Let's get out of the way. ”
Duke felt that the two Assassins were really against him, and hung behind him, and he could feel that the guards were about to catch up with them.
"He's the master. ”
Duke had already changed several alleys, but unexpectedly, the two assassins were always behind him, as if they had eaten him.
The guards also followed, and he decided to expose the military master, anyway, it is not good to see the truth in life and death.
The two assassins heard what Duke said, and stopped running, and there was a patio in front of them, with high and steep walls on all sides, and the master made a move, it was really better to escape, and the turn of fate was only a moment, besides, the two assassins were obviously not afraid of death, and now was the moment they were closest to the military master, and they let go of this opportunity, it would be difficult to find it in the future, the important thing is that they died too many people for this assassination.
