Chapter 156: Night of Chaos (Part I)

The four people who blocked the way were called to support the scene, and they were given the task of "blocking the way while the assassin escaped" - as long as they could be dragged until the big brother and the main force arrived, the mission would be completed. Only one of them has really slashed people with a knife, and the remaining three have not seen a few times of blood, and it's okay to follow the eldest brother to fight and kill with the wind, but half of them are coaxed when they dare to fight back, let alone this kind of big battle that will kill them when they meet?

In the face of the night night dressed in black, with swords raised and attacking fiercely, the night watchman soldiers had not yet fought, and the side that stood in the way had lost most of the momentum.

"Dang!"

There was a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing, and the thug closest to Egger shrank his head and raised his knife to block the first sword of the Night's Watch, and his palms were numb by the unfamiliar shock of the hilt, and the courage accumulated by bullying the weaker ones in the past suddenly leaked out, and what defensive counterattack, what tactical coordination, completely left behind - he didn't even dare to take the second sword, he turned his head and ran into the darkness.

Escapees are usually the best targets, but the other three who remain keep Iger at bay for him.

The second thug swung a knife, which forced the Night's Watch to dodge and block the defense, and then he hesitated for half a second: should he run too? But he had no chance to make a decision, and Egg, who was constantly stimulated by the pain in his shoulder, showed no mercy - he didn't want to know who the other party's name was, whether he was guilty of death, he only knew that the gang was here to kill him tonight, and he didn't want to die yet.

Iger subconsciously shouted this, seizing the moment when the other party exposed the empty door in front of his chest, and the blood splattered on his cheeks and the walls on both sides of the alley, and the injured man clutched his chest wound and fell screaming.

With one opponent and two left, Iger tensed his nerves and muscles to prepare for the next battle, only to find that Jaquin had already dropped the other two to the ground without bleeding...... Worthy of the Faceless.

The first encounter ended in seconds, but the night of chaos had only just begun. The two continued to run forward, submerging into the darkness.

......

"Don't let them escape back to the nest, separate and intercept!" The leader of the gangsters who led people to chase after him looked at the three little brothers lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and waved his hand with hideous faces: "You two, go here, you two, go over there...... Don't do it when you encounter it, just call it!"

"Yes. ”

"Run, don't let that night watchman escape!"

The leader of the gangsters chased the remaining four men in the direction of the target fleeing in the dark, and he was furious and murderous...... But less than half a minute later, he realized that he was not chasing his prey, but had become it.

***

Life is so fragile, and killing is so simple. In the first round of the short battle just now, the soldier's instinct that was put away by Iger and put in the bone marrow was activated by the blood splashed on his face, and the bloodthirsty desire buried deep in his genes also awakened under the threat of his life, and he who had participated in several actual battles did not faint because of the sudden attack: this side is still more than a mile away from the residence, and it is almost impossible to escape all the way back with luck without a head, and when encountering an ambush, the most taboo thing is to follow the rhythm of instinct and the opponent- He must take out some of the enemies around him and break the encirclement before he can escape and ascend to heaven!

Thinking through everything, he took Jia Kun to hide in an alley by taking advantage of the night that was completely enveloped, and after waiting for a minute, they succeeded in killing the rushing pursuers with a return gun.

The new round of combat was still uncommendable, and the second wave of five enemies was only slightly better than the first four, but they were wrong to chase two unknown targets with their crossbows through the intricate aisles that were not conducive to the use of long-range weapons, and when Egg and Jaqun scurried out of the shadows around the corner to launch a surprise attack, another one-sided slaughter began.

Egger slashed his sword at the man who was chasing at the front, and the attacker had no time to react, and hastily raised his military crossbow to parry, and before the crunch of the crossbow arm and bowstring shattering dissipated, the second sword stabbed him in the chest, and only then did the double-wielding dagger react - the gangster leader screamed strangely, and rushed towards Iger with his twin daggers, forcing the night watchman back two steps......

The boss was a well-known killer throughout the Flea Nest and King's Landing, with double digits of people dying at his hands, including trained swordsmen. If it's one-on-one, the winner is even more unknown. But he trusted his younger brother too much, and he had no idea that the assassin's retinue would be Braavos' best Assassin Faceless - he was so focused on the supposedly powerful "Ghost Slayer" in front of him that when Jacquin cleanly elbowed the second crossbow-wielding thug appeared behind him, he didn't even have time to say a word before he was torn off his neck and fell limply.

In the flash of light, the eldest brother and the second brother lay on the ground and their life and death were uncertain, the third brother knelt down in a pool of blood, and the remaining two were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and fled.

Real combat and jousting are two different things, without your back-and-forth tricks and dazzling swords, these enemies are untrained, have little sense of self-protection in the face of ambushes, and two of the three best have the wrong weapons. If you don't count the Aliens, this was the first time he'd killed someone in his life—Egger had only swung his sword five times tonight, ending two lives. As for Jacquen, his weapon wasn't even bloodstained, but he had knocked down twice as many enemies as Egger, and the Night's Watch couldn't see how the Faceless One had done it.

A useless move on a whim months ago saved his life today, but the night of chaos is far from over. Quickly evacuating the scene of the chaotic firefight, they ran a few hundred meters in a random direction before stopping.

"They actually have crossbows, and Slint is crazy. Egger gasped and wiped the blood from his sword with a piece of cloth, it was someone else's business that others were crazy, but he couldn't bury his opponent's madness: "What should we do now?

"Listen to your lordship. Jaqun's unwavering voice came from the darkness.

Well, this faceless man is willing to save himself at a critical moment, and it is whimsical to want him to help with ideas, Iger stood between the two houses and thought for a while, and made a decision: "Since they are ambushed on our way home, it means that the brothers in the family have not had an accident yet, and Slint will not be able to kill me, so it is likely that the garrison will be mobilized...... Go back and call the brothers in the house, and take shelter together. ”

Tyrion sent a squad of ten young men who had completed their basic training in the security team outside the city yesterday into the city to report to Egger, which was considered a guard squad for one of the two giants of the Night's Watch...... It's not a battle-hardened veteran, but as long as Slint doesn't send a garrison, it's more than enough to deal with a bunch of crappy amateur killers.

It was a serious mistake to keep these ten people in the courtyard instead of taking them with you, but from another point of view, if you really went out with a class of bodyguards, it would never be a few gangsters who came to deal with you.

After a few hundred meters of detour, the two of them turned around for half an hour to get home, and they also encountered a wave of patrols on the way. Hiding in the shadows opposite the gate and carefully observing the surroundings, they found nothing unusual, so they quickly rushed through the street and pushed the door into the courtyard.

There was nothing wrong at home, and three security soldiers who had just been arranged from outside the city were sitting on the stone benches in the courtyard chatting, and when they saw Iger returning, they quickly stood up and saluted him.

"What about your sir, call everyone out and assemble, this place can't stay any longer, let's leave at once!"

......

Half a minute later, everyone gathered in the courtyard, and Nina was startled by Egger's appearance at the moment: "What's going on, is that blood on your face?"

"It's not all mine, that guy from Slint must have gotten the news, and he actually sent someone to ambush me on the way home, I got out by luck, he is likely to bring the garrison over to force the move, let's move immediately!"

"You should bandage the wound first!"

"Don't die, mother-in-law, open the door and set off immediately!"

Going out from the gate with the soldiers of the security team with the "guard squad", Iger soon found eight or nine people standing across the road...... Seeing the fourteen of them pouring out of the door, they seemed to be startled by the number, and they quickly dispersed and disappeared into the darkness.

Although he escaped, he was still targeted, and not only that, but he also faced another question: "My lord, where are we going?"

The disadvantages of the short period of time in King's Landing became apparent, and the Night's Watch property had three strongholds in King's Landing: the first and second offices, and the staff quarters. And these places are all on the bright side, and at this critical moment, Iger finds that he wants to find a safe house to avoid danger!

King's Landing is so densely populated that even the most remote alleys are occupied by beggars and homeless people, and it's impossible to hide quietly...... What's more, he was still being watched by at least a dozen people? He was just an alien night watchman, and although he was slightly famous, he was far from being able to get local residents to help fight against the arrest of the law enforcement team like the anti-Japanese guerrillas.

The obvious exotic appearance used to be highly recognizable, but now it has become a burden, and he can't hide his identity at all.

As for fleeing to the homes of those allies...... Since Genos Slint has flipped the table to make a last-ditch effort, he won't buy anyone's account, and in the case that hard power can't be opposed, he is afraid that wherever he hides, he will be forcibly broken in by the soldiers of the garrison.

The enemy holds the command of the King's Landing garrison, and there is no safe place in the city at this moment except for the Red Castle, but unfortunately the royal castle will be closed at night, after thinking about it, Iger finally made a judgment - he must find a way out of the city!

The Iron Gate was the closest to this place, but he had escaped from that direction just now, and it was too risky to go back the same way, and after some thought, Iger finally decided to move to the second closest Mud Gate. Not to mention that the captain of the Rivergate garrison, the "Iron Hand" who was evaluated by Tyrion as more courageous and honor-oriented, is more reliable, and the bustling and chaotic King's Landing Blackwater Harbor outside the Mud Gate is also a suitable hiding place, not to mention walking upstream along the river and reaching his own territory, the Night's Watch Industrial Park!
