Chapter 460: Assassination
Dark Wings.
This was the most powerful group of Assassins active in Herman's dark world, and to be honest, Kriolev had never thought of using the power of these Assassins, but now, he seemed to have no other choice.
"That's your mission."
Looking at the masked woman in front of him, Kriolev whispered. In front of him at this moment is the leader of the Darkwing Groupβββ Black Swan. Naturally, he is also Herman's strongest assassin, that is, Kriolev, and if he were someone else, I am afraid it would be impossible to know who this person is.
"You want me to kill the Grand Inquisitor?"
The black swan's voice was calm.
"But didn't the council's order capture him alive?"
"If you can do it, then you might as well try."
Kryoreev shook his head.
"Whether you kill, injure or capture alive, it's up to you, no matter what, you have to make them feel threatened. What help you need, we can help. β
"No, I'll just go alone."
"You're going alone?"
Hearing the black swan's answer, Kriolev was stunned for a moment, while the black swan nodded.
"Of course, the other party's methods are changeable, and the more people who go, will increase the variables, I go alone, even if I encounter danger, I can get out of the way."
ββ¦β¦β¦ Well, whatever you want. β
Kriolev didn't care too much, he didn't actually expect the black swan to succeed, indeed, the other party was quite famous in Herman's country, but how could the inquisitor be easy to mess with? People have killed the former demon king and several demons, no matter how powerful your black swan is, is it more powerful than the demon or better than the former demon king?
But in any case, Kriolev was only able to use this method, the offensive of the Great Army seemed to be more than worth the loss, and the morale of the First Army was declining. However, since the opponent can easily handle his own frontal attack, then he will send assassins to assassinate the opponent to make the opponent nervous, and then maybe he can seize the opportunity.
As for how far this black swan can go......... It's up to her.
Soon, when night fell again, the black swan quietly came under the walls of the Bonn fortress.
To her surprise, there were no guards or soldiers on the fortress at the moment, only a few lone torches there, which did not look at all vigilant.
What's going on?
The black swan was puzzled in her heart, and at the same time she also raised her vigilance, she also knew that the group of people in the Inquisition had very magical spells, so she did not sneak into the fortress according to the established route, but turned over from the mountain peak next to her and quietly came to the side of the fortress. The black swan then climbed the walls with ropes and came to the interior of the fortress.
After all, the walls of the Bonn Fortress are only three meters high, and it is really not very high to say that it is high, and it is naturally not a problem for such a top killer as Black Swan.
But when the black swan stepped on the city wall, the first thing it sensed was a ......... Fragrance!
That's right, it smells good!
What does it taste like?
Out of curiosity, the black swan poked his head out in confusion and cautiously looked in the direction where the smell came from.
Then, she was stunned.
I saw that in the square in the center of the fortress, which was originally used for gathering troops and drills, a huge bonfire was burning here, and next to the bonfire, a table was set up, on which were all kinds of delicacies. There are desserts, roast chicken, and even a lot of bright and beautiful fruits......... Well, even if the black swan saw it, he couldn't help but want to drool.
And right now, those girls are at the dining table, holding wine glasses, talking and laughing while eating, drinking, giving people the feeling that they are not on the battlefield, but more like in a banquet ballroom!
Is it so cozy?
Seeing this scene, and thinking about the tragic situation of the First Army below, the black swan was speechless, I really don't know what Kriolev would think if he knew that the enemy he racked his brains to deal with was now holding a banquet here. Anyway, this is too disrespectful, people are menacing below, you are eating, drinking and having fun above?
If it weren't for the fact that the First Legion had been beaten down by the other party several times in a row, the black swan would even think that this group of girls were simply unlearned and unskilled waste!
But now......... People have proved their strength, and eating and drinking is the embodiment of strength.
But that's fine.
At least for now, the other side doesn't seem to have discovered their infiltration, and there is usually a lot of intelligence gathering on such occasions. Although she was certainly not able to come forward, the black swan still quietly sneaked into the shadows of the corridor, not far from the banquet hall, listening to the chatter of those girls.
"The First Legion is not attacking? What about our graduation assessment? β
"Don't worry, I heard that the Second Army Corps will be there soon, and the council seems to be very dissatisfied with General Kriolev, and will definitely attack again, and then we will have a chance to perform."
"Hopefully I'll be able to get the best ........."
"You don't have to worry about that, I think it's definitely fine."
"But Herman's soldiers couldn't help fighting, we didn't even use our strength before they fell, I heard that the soldiers of this country are very strong, I thought it would be a tough battle........."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Listening to the discussion of the girls, the black swan had black lines on his face, fortunately General Kriolev was not here, otherwise he would have vomited blood and died.
However, from the mouths of the girls, the black swan also learned another piece of information.
The Second Army is about to arrive, and the Senate is very unhappy with General Kriolev and may well take away his command!
You know, you don't even know this information, but how did the enemy know about it?
Moreover, it can be seen from the casual words of the girls attending the banquet that it does not seem to be a particularly important information for them to keep secret.........
Originally, the idea of the black swan was to go to the warehouse and light a fire and plunge the entire fortress into chaos, but .........
"Anyway, everyone is here for the banquet, so it's okay in terms of security, right?"
"No problem, there are those soldiers in charge of guarding, and I have summoned a few mud and dust colossi to guard it, it will be no problem."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing this, the black swan decisively dispelled her idea, if it was just a soldier, she wouldn't be worried, but that kind of mud and dust colossus she had seen on the battlefield, there was no weakness at all, the only way was to smash it into rags, obviously, for an assassin like herself, this requirement was too high.
However, at this time, suddenly, a piece of news caught the attention of the black swan.
"By the way, what about Duanmu-sama?"
He went back to his room to rest.
"So early?"
"Do people have other entertainment.........
As they spoke, the girls giggled. And hearing this, the black swan also flashed a bright light in her eyes, as a top assassin, of course she knew what the girls meant, that is to say, now Duanmu Huai is defenseless, it is a good time to do it herself!
As for where Duanmu Huai is, it may be a problem for a rookie, but it is not a problem for a seasoned assassin, after all, a qualified commander, even if it is a place to rest, must follow certain rules. Otherwise, when the enemy goes to war, you will sleep dead in a corner, and you will not wake up until the enemy has captured you......... Isn't it too late?
So soon, the Black Swan came to the headquarters located in the center of the fortress, according to her experience, the average commander's room should be near here, and in fact, the Black Swan was not wrong.
"Uh......... Yes......... Belch............!! β
As the black swan silently approached a window from the wall, she immediately heard a beast-like hum coming from within. Hearing this voice, the black swan's face froze slightly, and then she stretched out her hand, silently held the short blade on her waist, and quietly leaned in front of the window, looking inside.
Immediately afterward, the black swan saw that a stout and incomparably tall man was standing there at the moment, while his hands were holding a petite purple-haired girl, who ...............
"Ah......... Ahh!!hhhhh β
The purple-haired girl screamed suddenly.........
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Looking at this scene, the black swan calmed his emotions, held the short sword coated with poison, and slowly approached the window. However, just as she reached the window, suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Hee-hee, isn't it a good thing to peek at this time?"
βοΌοΌβ
Hearing the voice coming from behind him, the black swan suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly drew out the poison blade and swung it back, but the poison blade that saw the blood sealing his throat was directly swung into the air. Then the black swan felt someone push her behind her, pushing her directly into the room, and at the same time, her backward arm was also grabbed by the other party with a flip, and after a direct "click" dislocation, it was aimed at her neck in turn.
"I've caught the little mouse."
"Thank you, Suzume."
Duanmu Huai nodded at the bell girl behind the black swan, and then stared at the black swan, while the latter's expression remained unchanged, looking coldly at Duanmu Huai in front of him.
"You are the assassin sent by Kriolev to kill me?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you want to say it or not, I don't plan to kill you, just send a message to General Kriolev for me."
Duanmu Huai didn't care about his current appearance, he first carried the unconscious Kanami to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then looked at the black swan.
"Herman's change is necessary, and it also needs his strength, and perhaps escape is indeed a simple thing for him. But I would prefer that he would be able to face all of this, and not just be a deserter on the run. The positive reality may be harsh, but it's his job, and if he wants to fight for Herman's tomorrow, then we want him to be on our side......... Well, you can convey this to General Kriolev. By the way, tell him that this is Herman's internal problem after all, and if he, as Herman's most famous general, is never willing to face and change the country, it is also his own choice, and the Inquisition will not care about these anymore. β
After saying this, Duanmu Huai made a gesture, and then the bell girl used a slight force, accompanied by a "click" sound, the black swan's originally dislocated arm was picked up again, and she moved her arm and looked at Duanmu Huai.
"Are you so sure I'm going to pass the word? General Kryorev was not an easy man to persuade. β
"Whether I say it or not is my business, whether you pass it on or not is your business, and whether he listens or not is his business."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"You can go."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
After listening to Duanmu Huai's words, the black swan stared at him carefully for a moment, and then without saying a word, he directly turned out the window and left.
"Whew......... It's a hassle. β
Watching the other party leave, Duanmu Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, the bell girl also came over with a smile.
"How? Suzume did a great job, right? β
"Of course."
Hearing the bell girl's words, Duanmu Huai smiled and stretched out his hand to hold the bell girl into his arms.
"I'll reward you too."
He spoke.
