Chapter Twenty-Seven: Counting is Counting
"Who? Who's ...... Well? Durkkao opened the door, and was about to take a look outside the door, when he found a soldier dead in the doorway, with an arrow stuck in his head and a note beside him. He picked up the note, which read:
General Noxus Dukkao:
According to credible information, your daughter Caterina will be executed in Demacia tomorrow, and the security around you will be lax, so please go to the rescue immediately. Remember, don't bring too many people with you so as not to reveal your whereabouts. In addition, due to the heavy security, your guards are a bit of an obstacle to conveying information, so I will deal with a few of them, I hope you don't mind, or focus on the overall situation!
Respectfully to the alliance Zuan
Speaking of the content of the note, Zhou Wei knew the background story of the alliance well, and wrote this note as a Noxian ally Zuan to keep Duke Kao from suspicious, and in addition, he added another paragraph in order to prevent Wayne from being unable to help but kill.
Sure enough, Duke Kao was convinced, his grip on the note trembling with anger, his eyes full of anger.
The sound of the alarm caused almost all the soldiers in the castle to gather at the door of the room, and when they saw General Durkkao trembling with a note, they stopped instantly, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what can make the general like this.
"Go ......," Durkkao raised his hand tremblingly, pointing ahead, "Call everyone to the room!" "Ah, yes! Hurry up, hurry up, ......" The soldiers hurriedly turned and scattered to all corners of the castle.
Noxus Senior Officers' Strategic Research Office......
A long, wide conference table sits in the middle. Duke Kao paced back and forth at one end of the line, flanked by Noxus' most powerful or resourceful officers.
The atmosphere was very solemn......
After about five minutes, Duke Kao stopped, turned to face everyone, and slammed his fist on the table, causing the cups on the table to jump.
He surveyed the people around him, his nose arched, his eyes bloodshot.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the information passed to us by the Alliance Zuan, tomorrow Gavin will execute my daughter in the guillotine in Demacia! The intelligence also mentioned that the security around the execution was lax, and it was suitable for us to go to the rescue. However, as far as I know, the guillotine is far from the palace of Delmar, and it is difficult to send troops to support. At that time, we can rescue Carter and wipe out the scum of Demacia! ”
"Great! What a godsend! This time, we must save my sister and occupy Demacia fiercely! The snake girl immediately slapped the table in response.
During this time, she has been blaming herself for not being able to help her sister at that time, which led to her sister being captured by the enemy. So when Duke Kao said the news, she reacted the strongest.
"Good! I'm going to kill everyone in there! Then rescue Caterina yourself to repay the resurrection! Sein roared roughly, his voice echoing throughout the room. He slapped his big iron axe with his hand and looked at Durkkao with an oath.
"Hey, you have to get it, you know how to break in, what should you do if you are caught by someone over there? Execute you again? Svein rubbed his cheeks and squinted at Sein, then continued to limp.
"Oh roar? So what does the Commander think? Seon turned his face and looked at the Strategist Commander with a slight contempt.
"Well~ very good, very good, since God help me Noxus, then we might as well ...... like this" Svein motioned for Durkkao and the others to gather in front of him, and told him the plan.
"Haha! Good! Urgat waved his iron claws as he listened, "He is a master strategist!" Svein's approach is great! Hmph, I didn't kill Galen on the battlefield, this revenge was not avenged, this time, I want to kill even Gavin IV! ”
"Hmm~" Duke Kao was very relieved to see that his people were very confident and combative.
"Good! Recharge your batteries tonight! Kill Demacia tomorrow by surprise! ”
"Yes!"
The heroes returned to the house, but Svein still frowned, still not stopping his musings.
"You're so resourceful! Hahahaha! Durkkao walked up to Svein and patted him on the shoulder.
"Hmm." Svein replied casually. Because he feels that things are far from simple.
The next morning......
"Are you all ready?" Zhao Xin looked at Zhou Wei firmly.
"I have transferred mana to the heroes on the mission today, they can use the skills, everything is OK!" "Oh, you're still thoughtful!" "It's nothing, as soon as the people from Noxus come, Galen will come forward and hold Caterina down, and then we can blackmail each other. Without further ado, let's go! ”
After that, Zhou Wei and Zhao Xin went out one after another.
The guillotine of Demacia's execution......
A stone platform surrounded by pillars of equal height, topped by a head-cutting guillotine, the blade of which was red from the blood of the condemned prisoner, as was the stone underneath. The victim will stick his head into the round frame, and when the executioner pulls the rope, the guillotine on it falls, and the victim's head is in a different place.
At this time, the bottom of the stage was crowded with people who had come to see the commotion, and the guards were lax all around, except for Galen and Caterina, plus an executioner who controlled the rope.
In fact, this is just an illusion carefully arranged by Zhou Wei. In places that are not easy to find, there are many heroes in ambush: the prince leans next to the pillar, Zhao Xin is hidden behind the guillotine, the executioner who fiddles with the rope is pretended to be Galio, and the crowd is ambushed by Sivana......
Zhou Wei stood on the roof of the building behind him, holding the telescope summoned by his attributes, tense his nerves and looking at everything around him.
The hour had come, and Galen dragged Caterina to the platform.
"Don't drag me! I'll go myself! "Cut, it's still so strong!" "Hmph, if it's a man, untie the rope for me! Let's have a real battle! "Oh, that's not going to work, I can't disobey His Highness's orders."
"You!" Caterina glared at Galen with blood-red eyes.
Galen dodged her gaze as best he could, pushing him in front of the guillotine.
"The execution begins!" Galen deliberately amplified his voice and slowed his movements, observing every move around him.
Sure enough, with a "swoop", an arrow shot straight through the rope holding the guillotine. The guillotine fell with a "thud", and Galio almost couldn't dodge, or else his arm would have been cut off.
"Yo, here!" Galen drew his sword, picked up Carter, and placed it around her neck, his eyes staring motionlessly at the group of people who arrived in front of him.
Under the stage, Duke Kao, Svein, Snake Girl, and Sean instantly jumped out of the back wall side by side, and the crowd was stunned by this scene. But fortunately, it didn't go away, and Shivana was still hidden.
Svein put down the bow that had just shot the arrow, and Duke Kao on the side pointed at Galen with a blank face: "Let her go." ”
"Hmph, what if I don't let it go?" Galen wasn't deterred, and he moved his sword a little closer to Caterina's neck.
"Hurry up! There's an ambush here...... "You! Before Galen could cover Carter's mouth, the other party had already finished speaking.
The heroes who were lying in ambush on both sides saw that the situation was not good, so they jumped out of the surrounding area.
Zhou Wei also jumped off the top of the building behind him and stood on the platform.
Galio took off his disguise and examined the people of Noxus: "Now it's time for us to negotiate terms!" ”
Duke Kao glanced at the side and said with a smile: "Hmph, I don't know who will negotiate terms with whom." ”
"You!" Zhao Xin raised his spear, "It's still so rampant in Demacia!" See if I don't kill you first! ”
"Don't move!" Urgat slowly moved out of the pillar, his arm against the prince's neck, his iron claws resting on the prince's head.
"Prince! You! Seeing this, Shivana was about to step forward, but was stopped by Zhou Wei beside her.
"Don't move!"
