Chapter 118: The Assassin Brotherhood
"Whew, I'm finally back." Stephanie let out a sigh of relief, most of the men she had taken were dead, and although they were escorted by Karl's men, they were only escorted to the landing, and those people would not stay in Wikipedian territory.
Therefore, she had to return to this secret base alone, where her last capital was held.
"Lady Shield, you're back!"
A Wikipedian spotted her and hurriedly stepped forward, and for a while many wooden houses poked their heads out.
"Great, Armond, you're still here." Stephanie was overjoyed to see this Wikipedian, who was her old subordinate.
"Lady Shield, the others...... What about brothers? Armond looked at the emptiness behind Stephanie and couldn't help but ask.
Stephanie's expression was gloomy, she sighed, and told Armond about what happened to her, of course, she concealed some news, such as that she was captured by Carl, she just used her good luck to escape as an excuse, although it is not an honorable thing for a Wikipedian to escape, but it is better than giving her life, especially Stephanie's special status.
"Damn Frida, isn't he just going to look at it at all!" When Amund heard that King Denmaka wanted to kill Stephanie and the others, he couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation.
Frida is the name of the current King of Denmeka, but Stephanie and her men never recognize Frida as the king of the kingdom of Denmeka, and the only king in their hearts is the old King Denmeka, that is, Stephanie's father.
"If the king hadn't adopted him, he would have starved to death on the side of the road and become food for wolves, and now he dares to ......," said Amond himself, and when Frida usurped the throne, there was no affection between the two sides, and all that remained was the hatred of the two sides that had to fall to the other.
"Alright Armond, now is not the time to talk about this, the roar of the weak will not only cause merciless ridicule from the strong." Stephanie shook her head, she was a very calm person, her father was dead, so there was no point in thinking about it.
Stephanie wanted to say something, but she was suddenly stunned, and in her sight, two guys wrapped in robes who couldn't see their faces clearly walked up behind Amund, the only difference was that one of them had a pitch-black robe, and the other was gray.
"Mistress Stephanie, is she?" The gray-robed man's voice was hoarse, giving people a feeling of old age.
"Amund, who are they?" Stephanie's hair stood on end, she sensed danger from the two of them, it was a warrior's instinct, and why should there be anyone else in this small village?
The only way to connect here with the outside world is the waterway, and no one will know about this place except for her and some henchmen, so it is basically impossible to see outsiders here, and now there are two at once, is this place exposed?
"Lord Shieldmaidens, I think you need to contact them personally on this issue." Armond smiled wryly and shook his head, the same way he had looked when he first saw them, after all, this place was isolated.
He wanted to kill them all, after all, this is the only way that the news here will not be leaked, but the guy in gray clothes threw out a wooden badge, and he was stunned when he saw the pattern, so he canceled all plans against them, after all, he didn't like to offend that organization.
"We're not going to leak this place, we're here for Mistress Stephanie to return." This is what the gray-robed man said that day, and it is true that no one else has come for so many days.
Stephanie frowned, she knew that Amund would never betray her, so she didn't suspect that these two people were enemies, otherwise Armond or these two people standing here at this time would only have one side alive.
"Don't be nervous, we are here to discuss something with you, trust me, this is a matter that will benefit you and us." The gray-robed man was not in a hurry or slow, as if he were a robot.
"Let's talk about it." Stephanie said coldly, she would not let her guard down.
"I don't think you like the feeling of getting snowy, maybe we can talk about it in the house." The black-robed man next door to the gray-robed man said.
"Hmph." Stephanie snorted, but didn't say much, turned and walked towards her house.
Lighting the fireplace, the long-lost warmth rose in the house, and let Stephanie, who had been hurrying away, stretch her body, the weather in Northern Europe is really cruel, and I don't know how many people will die in a winter, even if the winter is over now, the weather is not much warmer.
"Let's talk about it now." Stephanie said as she saw the two of them sit down, lowered her eyes.
"Heh, Lord Shield Maiden is really anxious, in that case, then I won't sell it, I don't know if Lord Shield Maiden has heard of the Assassin Brotherhood?" The gray-robed man's bare mouth squirmed slightly, and he uttered a word that stunned Stephanie.
"The Assassin Brotherhood?" Stephanie shuddered, then stared at the gray-robed man.
The gray-robed man didn't say much, and threw out a wooden coat of arms from his sleeve robe, which was a coat of arms depicting a diamond-shaped pattern, and the whole thing was a bit weird.
Seeing this pattern, Stephanie's whole body trembled, and her breathing became a little shorter.
"You are!"
"For the record, Assassin Brotherhood member, I can't tell you the name, but I can tell you my code name, Fang."
Fang slowly put away the wood emblem on the table and said lightly.
Stephanie took a deep breath to keep herself composure, then turned her gaze back to the other.
"Hehe, don't get me wrong, Lord Shieldmaidens, I'm not a member of the Assassin Brotherhood, I'm just responsible for telling the Assassin Brotherhood about you, I'm a high-ranking member of the Men in Black, codename - Greed." Greedy grinned.
"The Man in Black?" Stephanie frowned, she hadn't heard of the organization.
"Hey, it doesn't matter if the Shieldmaiden hasn't heard of us." Greed also doesn't mean to explain, because it's not important.
There are only seven high-ranking members of the Men in Black, codenamed the Seven Deadly Sins, and they are only responsible to Teresa, the leader of the Men in Black, and the others do not listen to their orders.
Stephanie gave him a deep look and silently wrote down the name of the man in black, since he could appear next to the Assassin Brotherhood, it should not be a simple organization.
"I know you have a lot of questions, maybe you can ask them now." Fangs spread his hands and said.
"Why did you find here?" Stephanie raised her first question, which was very important because this was her home base, and if it was exposed, wouldn't it cause Frida's army?
"Lord Shieldmaiden, there is no place in Northern Europe that our Assassin Brotherhood can't find, and you are underestimating our intelligence capabilities, but you can rest assured that only a few high-ranking members know about this so far, and we have no intention of revealing this place to King Denmica." Fangs saw Stephanie's thoughts and said slowly.
"Whew......" Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully things weren't the worst yet.
However, she looked at the fangs with horror in her eyes, the Assassin Brotherhood was indeed a terrifying organization, its power spread throughout Northern Europe, almost everywhere there were their minions, they did everything from assassinating kings to plundering villages, there was nothing they did not do, and the most terrifying thing was that they had successfully assassinated two kings, which made the Assassin Brotherhood famous.
Assassinating a king is not an easy task in this era, after all, any king has a powerful bodyguard with him, and no more than one king will die in assassination so many years ago, and the Assassin Brotherhood will have the second hand.
Such an act naturally aroused the wrath of all the nations, and those kings would not allow the existence of an organization that dared to reach out their claws to the king, so they carried out the most severe hunt for the Assassin Brotherhood.
But even so, they didn't really do anything, the Assassin Brotherhood still existed, of course, they also had a role, at least that joint encirclement did deal a huge blow to the Assassin Brotherhood, causing the Assassin Brotherhood to retreat to Northern Europe.
Stephanie felt bitter in her heart, not realizing that what she thought was a secret base was also transparent in the Assassin Brotherhood.
"What are you looking for me for?" This was Stephanie's second question, and she didn't know why she could bring in the organization.
"Heh, we have reached a cooperation with the man in black, and we are here to help you." Fangs smiled.
"Men in black? Do you help me? Stephanie was completely confused, she really didn't know any man in black.
"It doesn't matter, Lord Shieldmaiden, you just need to know that we have no ill will towards you." Greed obviously didn't mean to answer her, just took it lightly.
"How can you help me?" Stephanie hung her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"The Assassin Brotherhood can help you find the warriors in the kingdom of Denmica who are still loyal to you, we can also help you rebel against Frida's people, and we can even help you kill a few people who are in the way, we have only one goal, and that is for you to successfully defeat Frida and become the new King of Denmeka." Fangs pounded on the table and said slowly.
Stephanie raised her eyebrows, her fangs surprised her, if the other party really wanted, then her path to revenge would be much easier.
"What do you want? I don't believe there will be a dropped lunch in the world. Stephanie didn't respond right away, she's a cautious person.
"As I said, we have reached a cooperation with the men in black, and of course, if you are willing, I hope that you can reverse the hunt for us in the Kingdom of Denmaka after becoming the king of Denmaka, then I will be grateful." Fang's voice was still so indifferent.
