Chapter 34: A Farce
Miss Rabbit was taken aback by this sudden scene, and was about to call Thomas to save people, but saw that one of them had already rushed out one step ahead of Thomas.
It was Tom who had just stepped aside, Tom didn't even draw his weapon, he punched the man in the nose directly, and the next moment Yin Leia heard the sound of something breaking.
The farmer fell backwards with a wail.
Is it so unbeaten?
The female lord was a little surprised, and as if to answer the doubts in her heart, more than a dozen figures in the crowd moved.
The previous phrase, "Kill these heretics!" It was like some kind of code, calling more Assassins in an instant.
Thomas and another guard raised their large shields and held Yin Leia tightly behind them.
In addition, the guards of the Arias family also moved, quickly gathering in this direction.
The female lord also wanted to mobilize the militia again, but was stopped by Li Yu.
"It's fine."
Only then did the girl notice that Li Yu's expression was still very calm, as if she had already guessed that there would be such a play.
Except for the farmer who jumped out at the beginning, the other Assassins did not rush to this place immediately, but gathered around a nearby ox cart first.
But before they could get close enough to the ox cart, a man with an iron mask stopped in front of them.
"A word of advice to you, next time you must not hide your weapons under the smoked fish."
The Assassin closest to him blurted out "How did you know we hid our weapons there?!"
The Arias family's guards were not ornaments, and it would have been easy for so many of them to be noticed if they had all their weapons with them.
So the planners came up with the idea of putting their weapons on the ox cart for the time being, and they also covered it with smoked fish, so that even if the guards wanted to inspect the ox cart, they would not look through the smoked fish.
And they also arranged for people to keep an eye on the ox cart at all times, and once the contents were discovered, they would also give up the action as soon as possible.
Just now, there were indeed a few Black Dog Guards of the Shuangxiu Sect, wielding the black short stick around on the ox cart, which made the Assassins fearful.
But in the end, the guards of the Black Dog Guard probably didn't find the anomaly in the ox cart, and they didn't open it to check it, so they just walked away.
So now the assassins couldn't figure out why the man in front of them would find out their secret.
However, the latter did not intend to answer the doubts in their hearts, but smiled slightly, "When you die, go ask Picia yourself."
At this time, the assassins had been exposed, and they had no other choice but to get the weapons first and continue to carry out the assassination plan, but fortunately, there was only one person on the other side, and they thought that it was not a problem.
But when they got their hands on it, they immediately realized how wrong their previous thinking was.
Although this guy is only one person, he has excellent martial arts skills, and he is still at ease with one enemy.
But if you want to say that there are actually some master assassins, it's just that they have all lost their weapons now and can only fight with knives, and against Jude, who uses a battle axe, it is not a single point to suffer.
And Jude was unusually this time, and he was not in a hurry to kill people, but just stood in front of the ox cart and waited for the warriors of the Arias family to arrive.
It wasn't that hard for him.
However, there were quite a few assassins in the crowd, and some of them had weapons that were not hidden in the ox carts, such as a crossbowman, who quietly found his crossbow while the farmer was rushing towards Li Yu to attract everyone's attention.
However, before he could aim at Li Yu, he was pounced on from behind, and the sneak attacker stabbed him several times in the back of the heart, and the assassin was out of breath.
He didn't understand until he died, why he was killed before he even had his hands out, even though he was an assassin.
The battle that took place in front of Yin Leia's eyes couldn't even be called a battle, it was just a one-sided slaughter.
Especially when the Arias guards arrived in front of Jude and helped him deal with the desperate enemies who still had knives in their hands, Miss Rabbit even felt a little pitiful for them.
And Li Yu stood in place from beginning to end, quietly watching everything that happened in front of him.
It was probably less than six or seven minutes before the farcical assassination came to an end.
More than a dozen bodies were found on the ground, and five others were captured.
In addition, through the video review function of the drone, Li Yu also found two more people from the crowd who did not participate in the assassination but behaved suspiciously.
After that, he walked up to the assassins in turn, not sparing even those who were already dead, and after a closer look, his brow gradually furrowed.
"What, what's the problem?" Yin Leia said curiously.
"One person less."
"Who?"
"The group of black-armored cavalry we encountered that night," Li Yu said, "the leader of the man has been wearing a helmet all the time, although I can't see his face, but I remember that he has a pair of yellow Tong Ren, but among these assassins, I don't see any Tong Ren who is yellow."
"Uh, could it be that he didn't come this time?"
Of course, Li Yu also thought of this possibility, he was not familiar with the Silver Moon Church and the army under the church that had no name and could only live in darkness forever, and he didn't know how they distributed personnel every time they carried out a mission.
Therefore, he couldn't say why the people he met that night didn't show up this time, but he only regretted a little that he couldn't take advantage of this rare opportunity to catch those guys and avenge the last sneak attack.
"Forget it, let's get back to it." Li Yu said to the female lord, "My business is done, if you are ready, then let's start the ceremony."
The girl nodded.
She had no hesitation about taking refuge in Saturday, and even if the Silvermoon Church reacted violently, it couldn't change her mind.
No, it should be said that it was precisely because of the clumsy performance of the Silver Moon Church just now that the belief of the female lord to convert to the Shuangxiu Religion was further strengthened.
So that she no longer has any nostalgia for her old beliefs.
So under the witness of thousands of pairs of eyes, Yin Leia and Li Yu walked through the gate of the castle together and came to the open space outside the stone castle.
There is a cedar tree there.
The cedar tree is said to have been planted here when Teacup Fort was first built, so it is about the same age as this castle, more than 900 years old, and has witnessed the rise and fall of the Arias family.
Now we are witnessing the family moving towards a new future.
