Chapter 10: The Eagle (II)
Giovanni felt very lucky, if he hadn't searched all the way in this direction, maybe he and Ezio would have really said goodbye to each other.
At the same time, Giovanni was also very angry, of course he knew this little guy named Vieri. In the true sense of the word, this kid is still Ezio's rival, but it's a pity that he lost to Ezio in terms of appearance and combat effectiveness.
So the final result is clear at a glance, and the person Christina chose in the end was Ezio, which also made Vieri, a pampered guy who had been pampered since childhood, hate it to the core.
He wouldn't touch Cristina because it wouldn't be in line with aristocratic manners, but he could trouble Ezio, especially now that Ezio.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Josh, Ezio would be a lost dog now.
What's more, he is still a wanted criminal in Florence, as long as he is killed, Vieri can not only relieve his hatred, but also gain great glory, and Vieri has no reason to do so.
Giovanni knew this, of course, and although he was furious, he did not forget Josh's teachings. That is, don't interfere with Ezio's growth, Vieri is a pebble on Ezio's growth path, although small, but he also has a certain use, so Giovanni will not kill him.
However, Vieri did not come alone, and since he could not be killed, the people he brought with him naturally became the target of Giovanni's venting. Whether it was his betrayal by Uberto, or the fact that they were now chasing and killing his wife and daughter, Giovanni would not let them go.
Seeing that Ezio's carriage was forced to stop and had to make a desperate fight, Giovanni nodded in satisfaction.
Even though he was outnumbered and unarmed, Ezio did not flinch in order to protect his family, which was very much in line with the style of the Auditore family.
But he wouldn't wait for Ezio to be beaten by them before he appeared, he had almost lost two sons at once, and he didn't want to see such a thing again, let alone let it happen in front of his eyes!
Like a ghost, the night blended seamlessly with his black assassin's robes.
Coupled with nearly two months of battle qi cultivation, although he was old, he remembered that His Excellency Galen had said that his talent was very high, and he had now reached the early stage of apprenticeship knighthood.
Although he can't attach the battle qi in his body to himself like His Excellency Galen for the time being, his physical fitness has also improved a lot because of the battle qi. To put it simply, Giovanni now feels like he's back to the physicality of his twenties, and it's even more terrifying, in every way.
With a single stride, Giovanni instantly appeared behind a sprinting soldier, and then he grabbed him directly by the throat and twisted it hard.
The soldier who was attacked by Giovanni didn't react at all, only felt a pain in his neck and instantly lost consciousness.
Giovanni didn't look back at him at all, his faint battle qi boiling in his body, of course he knew how powerful he was at this moment. He rushed straight at the other two soldiers, but even as he moved quickly, he noticed that the other two soldiers were standing very close.
Giovanni came out this time not with a longsword, but with two Hidden Blades.
This was brought up by Josh, and although Giovanni was not very accustomed to not having a long weapon in his hand, he was also quite proficient in the Hidden Blade, and he could often hit unexpected effects, so he did so.
Now that the two soldiers were standing, Giovanni felt a good opportunity to try to take out his opponent with both Hidden Blades at the same time. To be honest, he hadn't tried it in a head-on confrontation yet, but now the battle gave him endless confidence, and he felt that he couldn't justify it if he didn't try.
Don't look at him thinking about it for a long time, in fact, it's just a matter of an instant.
As he approached the two soldiers, he unconsciously raised his hands back, and in an instant he pushed his hands like lightning towards the two soldiers' brothers, and at the same time his Hidden Blade stabbed out.
Giovanni was an Assassin, but also a high-ranking Assassin. He knew exactly where the human body was weak and where it was most deadly, and he directly locked the hearts of the two soldiers at this moment, and hit it accurately.
And when he had done all this, he didn't stop at all, and moved straight towards the last soldier who had charged. He was like a gust of wind at the moment, raising his hand lightly, and the blade of his Hidden Blade slashed gently like a butterfly piercing a flower.
When he had done all this, the four soldiers were still running forward unconsciously.
Not only the next moment, all four soldiers fell to the ground in unison, and at this time, blood slowly spilled from their bodies, and Giovanni stood quietly on their corpses, looking so terrifying.
"What the hell is this!"
Vieri and the other soldiers who didn't rush forward were startled, just now they saw only a ghostly figure, and then four people died on their side!
What the hell is this? And what the hell is going on here?
Not only Vieri, but even Ezio and his family were stupid, they couldn't believe that there were such strange and terrifying people in this world.
Ezio's whole body tensed, it was terrible, he was very scared and nervous, although this person saved himself, but such an exaggerated way of acting was really unheard of.
Ezio is still very immature, so it is inevitable that he will be nervous and afraid. He didn't even notice that his mother, who had been a little sluggish by his side, suddenly trembled and stared at the man who was shrouded in darkness.
Ezio's mother, Maria, and his sister, Claudia, did not see Giovanni and his brother being hanged, but they learned of the devastating truth from Ezio.
But at this moment, Maria seems to see the shadow of her husband in this man in black.
She and Giovanni had been together for too long, and they were very affectionate, and they were the ones who knew each other best. So at the first sight of this man, she came to her senses, although she was very confused.
Ezio wasn't going to lie to himself, and when they left Florence, they didn't hear the streets talk about it. It was as if the Auditore family were the biggest villains in Florence, the traitors, and their death was a matter of course.
Giovanni glanced back at them as well, but he quickly withdrew his gaze. He knew he couldn't show anything, or else Josh's plans would change, even for his own sons, children, and wives.
He looked coldly at Vieri and the others, who were a little panicked, and he didn't answer the ridiculous question.
It's useless to say it anyway, not to mention that there are some things that can't be said. Also, Giovanni, like Josh, didn't like to talk to dead people, even if they were still alive.
There was no half-nonsense at all, and Giovanni walked straight towards them. It was as if death was coming, and his every step gave Vieri great fear. Finally, as Giovanni kept getting closer to Vieri, he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Kill him! Kill him! He didn't have a weapon! Kill him! Just kill him, and I'll give you twenty gold coins each!" Fast! Vieri shouted hysterically as he stumbled backwards, pushing the frightened soldiers forward.
Perhaps tempted by the gold coins, or perhaps feeling that their side did have some advantage in numbers, the soldiers finally attacked Giovanni.
They kept roaring, as if to boost their morale, and then collectively rushed towards Giovanni.
Charge, sometimes all it takes is courage.
However, these people are facing Giovanni, and he is also a Giovanni who has undergone rigorous assassin training and battle qi training, and his body has almost recovered to its peak or even stronger.
Even if they were nearly ten times as numerous as Giovanni, they were of no use.
Ezio stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and deep down in his heart there was only one word to describe it - and that was slaughter! Yes, a massacre, and the most incredible one slaughtered ten others!
Giovanni's movements are extremely swift and graceful, and at the same time more powerful than anyone could have imagined.
He dodges enemy attacks with briskness, and at the same time deftly delivers a fatal blow to the enemy as if he were dancing, he is the main character, and the soldiers are all just dance partners.
However, the dance was bloody, and by the time Giovanni signaled the dance to stop, all ten soldiers had fallen in a pool of blood.
If you carefully examine these corpses, the surveyors will be surprised to find that these people will only have one fatal wound on their bodies, and it is absolutely critical!
Glancing at Vieri, who had fled in the desert, Giovanni flicked the Hidden Blade in his hands, and when he shook off the blood on them, he put them away. He didn't go after this guy, and left this guy to Ezio to deal with.
Turning around, Giovanni walked in the direction of Ezio and them, but what he didn't expect was that Ezio, who was already very nervous, actually picked up the long sword that fell to the ground and guarded him in horror, which made Giovanni smile helplessly and stopped his steps at the same time.
"Put away your weapons, Ezio!"
Just as Giovanni was thinking about how they could communicate, Maria, who had been sluggish, suddenly spoke.
This surprised the Ezio siblings, and even Giovanni, who also learned through Paola that his wife was very stimulated and in a trance.
"Mother, he"
"Shut up! Ezio, do as I say! ”
"Yes, Mother."
Ezio reluctantly put away his weapon, but he still looked at the man in black in front of him very vigilantly. Although he didn't know why, this man gave him a very familiar and intimate feeling, but the bloody scene just now made him unforgettable.
Fortunately, Ezio was still very smart, and he had noticed that the clothes on this man's body were actually very similar to his own. After calming down for a while, he began to wonder if this man was a colleague with his father or something, or had he seen him?
"Your Excellency, who are you? Your clothes."
"It's an assassin's clothes, kid."
Giovanni sighed, Ezio was wearing his former Assassin robes, and he hadn't forgotten to change his voice slightly.
"You're an assassin too? Do you know my father? ”
"Of course, kid. You are Ezio, Giovanni's second son. I hugged you when you were young, and I knew that you didn't cry at all when you were born, and your parents almost thought you were dead. ”
Giovanni laughed and casually told a very secret thing, a secret that only the Ezio family knew.
"Then you are" Perhaps because of this secret, Ezio let his guard down a bit.
"I have been ordered by His Highness to pick you up and go to Monteriggioni, and I regret what happened to your family."
"Thank you, Your Excellency, but Your Highness? Who's that? ”
"You'll know when you get to Monterizioni."
Giovanni didn't plan to say anything more, and waved his hand to signal them to follow. But soon he seemed to remember something, and he turned his head again and whispered:
"By the way, my name is Eagle, and you can call me Igor as well."
