Chapter 28: The Mortal Situation (2)

The firelight, the thick smoke, and the smell of blood in the air, the entire Mansion of the Minister of the Seal was completely chaotic, and the guards with oil lamps and torches searched everywhere, but they did not find even half a figure, only the ruins scattered everywhere and the corpses that had gradually become cold, so that the guards even had a little fear.

There's nothing more frightening than an enemy you can't see - unknowns, ghosts, demons...... The more panicked they became, the more solemn their atmosphere became, and each additional discovery of a corpse strengthened the fear.

But when Berrion Marcherus appeared in front of everyone's eyes, all the panic was quickly quelled - the Duke was only wearing a simple and loose robe, with his own sword hanging from his waist, and a calm and calm posture, but all the guards immediately calmed down, and there was no longer the panic he had just looked.

"An Assassin has broken in, Lord Barrion!" Garvin Brindisi stood beside him with a hint of urgency in his voice, and his voice trembled slightly: "They blew up the fence in the back garden, and all twelve guards were ......."

"What about people. Barrion didn't ask anything more at all, and directly interrupted Jiawen's words, but there was a shuddering coldness in his calm eyes: "Those assassins...... What about people?"

“...... Didn't catch. Clenching his teeth, Jiawen quickly lowered his head, not even daring to look directly into those eyes: "We have tried our best to search around, maybe wait a little longer......"

"None of them escaped. Berrion's face turned pale, he took a deep breath, and his slightly closed eyes even revealed a little indifference, "In other words, this group of assassins brought in the ignition agent to blow up my mansion, killed a dozen guards, and then didn't even see what happened. Just let them all run away!"

"Thankfully, they didn't break into the main hall. Jiawen slowly raised his head, and there seemed to be a little joy in his tone: "Just when the explosion happened, all the guards rushed back in time. It is likely that they knew that they had no chance of succeeding, so they had to flee. ”

"I didn't succeed and had to run away...... Dear Gawen, you really know how to comfort others. Especially yourself. With a slanting of his eyes, Berion's cold eyes even made people tremble: "If they are really going to assassinate me, will these guys be stupid enough to cause such a big movement and tell everyone that they are coming to kill me?"

"It's just a disguise, a trick to attract fools like you, who must have other goals in mind to draw all their attention to me. The iron-faced Berion clutched the hilt of the sword at his waist tightly - as the Duke of Hantu City and the Minister of the Seal of the Kingdom, he had actually become a tool used by others!

Arrogant!

Berion, who hadn't been so angry for a long time, didn't notice. Jiawen, who was beside him, suddenly showed a somewhat uncertain expression on his face, his pupils that suddenly contracted shook violently, as if he had hysteria, and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't stop dripping from his cheeks to the ground, trembling.

"Lord Duke, the men of the Garrison Legion are here. One of the guards suddenly ran over, half-knelt in front of Berrion and said, "With him is Commander Greene Turn, and the outside of the mansion has been completely sealed off by the soldiers of the Garrison Legion. I'm still preparing to come in and search for the Assassins!"

"They're finally here - to see if I'm still alive, or are they hoping I'm dead?" Barrion glanced at the guards: "Gather everyone, even if I don't have the title of Duke of Hantu City, I am also the royal family of Marcherus, the Minister of the Seals of the Kingdom - what qualifications does he have as a commander to seal my mansion?!"

"Search around again and see if you can figure out what these guys are up to - it's definitely not ordinary people who can do this kind of thing. There is also a group of elite assassins, who have paid these costs, and they are definitely not small!"

Barrion's face was still extremely ugly - the assassination was not the worst for him, the real thing that made it difficult for him to calm his anxiety was that he didn't even know what the other party was for. I don't even know what the other party wants to do, and it's hard to talk about how to fight back.

In this state, he naturally didn't have a good temper, so he snorted and walked in the direction of the gate of the house. At this time, the entire outside of the mansion, all the streets, rooftops, fences, and even a few alleys, were all surrounded by the sudden appearance of the garrison, and the bright light of the fire almost set the wall on fire.

Greene Turn, who had arrived in a hurry, had a serious expression that was even more nervous - he was still in the process of reorganizing his legion when he received the news that there had been an explosion outside the Lord Keeper's Mansion.

He knows that there are subtleties among the soldiers, after all, this is Turin City, and the origin of the soldiers is surrounded by this cup of power, it is impossible to avoid it, and even many people treat this kind of thing as an outsider, and it has long been commonplace to act as an eyeliner for those powerful wealthy clans.

What really frightened him was that many high-ranking officers had already become the dogs of those wealthy families - and even many people were able to take office at great cost, and the whole city of Turin was actually relying on such a group of traitors. Traitors, wealthy cronies, and officers with fat brains, commanding an army of hooligans, ruffians, gangsters, and beggars to protect the city of Turin, which has flourished for thousands of years?!

Green himself couldn't believe that this was true, and that there had never been anything abnormal - was this world abnormal, or was he abnormal?!

Because of this, after the unexpected situation appeared, he didn't even dare to bring those guys, only the guards who belonged directly to him, and those soldiers who came back from the battle of Bright Star City, immediately sealed off the entire mansion of the Minister of the Seal, so as not to have another strange incident like last time, when the Duke of Berion was assassinated, and he didn't get the news until the next morning.

But such an approach would also be tantamount to confronting the Lord Keeper of the Seals, with no room for manoeuvre—as commander of the Garrison, Greene Turnn was already on the opposite side of Berion.

But right now, the person who really felt nervous was not only Green, but also Gavin Brindis, who was standing in the courtyard, was also in a cold sweat, and his eyes didn't even dare to look at the mangled corpse that fell to the ground.

The right hand was cut off entirely, the wound on the back even turned the skin of the entire back open, the left cheek was torn into a pile of rotten flesh, and the teeth and cheek bones below could be seen, and the blood that flowed out of it even soaked the floor tiles red.

"This body has just been discovered, and it must have been dead for not long. The guards seemed to be excited about their discovery: "It means that those who blew up the wall were just a front, the real Assassins came from this side, and they also killed one of their own companions - not far ahead, two other brothers were also killed, and the Assassin squire came in from the direction of the main entrance, not the garden!"

"But what are they doing this way, there is nothing around but a storage room, why do they have to come this way-is it because they are looking for something, or is there something else hidden? Perhaps they are not here to assassinate the Duke, but for some other purpose. ”

"The door of the storage room was also opened, and it looked like there were still traces of someone staying here, was it someone who was looking for them? Maybe they came to steal something, and someone was trapped here, and someone from outside came to the rescue, but they got into an argument over that thing, and they killed themselves......"

The more the guard spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had found some truth, and he searched around excitedly. But he didn't notice the gleam behind Jiawen, and the fierce glint slowly revealed in his eyes! (To be continued......)
