Chapter 469: Midnight Assassination
Vinderson was shocked by Nock's origins.
Nock Lane, the name is unfamiliar elsewhere, but as a town between Intramuros and Reims.
The town is full of legends about the feud between Nock and Richelieu.
Since half a year ago, when the news came out that Nock, who had been missing for ten years, had returned safely, the spies who went to Reims City from the royal city to inquire about the news have not stopped.
The town of Mock is not large, with a population of no more than a thousand.
It's a little windy, but he can't hide Wenderson, who is the mayor of the town.
Now that he saw Nock himself appear in front of him, how could he not panic.
Seeing Vinderson's reaction, Nock smiled with interest: "You're afraid of me? ”
Vinderson's heart was awe-inspiring, and he said "don't dare".
Nock knew it in his heart, but he just "didn't dare", not "didn't have it".
Seeing that the other party was frightened by himself, Nock lost interest in talking.
Waving his hand to signal Wenderson to step back, he sat down at the table in a daze.
Being trapped for ten years has filled him with loneliness and indifference, and even people close to him like Miledi have difficulty adapting to the lonely aura in him, let alone strangers who don't know him.
Nock knew that something was wrong with his body recently, and he was angry from time to time, not only the people around him were afraid, but he was also worried.
But he secretly checked his body, and even secretly treated himself with supernatural magic, but it was useless.
When it was time to be angry, he still couldn't control his anger.
But when he calmed down, he couldn't think of why he was angry about that little thing.
Nock didn't know what had happened to him, and he was a little scared inside.
He wasn't afraid of something wrong with him or death.
Instead, he was afraid that he would not have time to help Reims Cathedral gain a foothold and lay a shelter for Milady and other people close to him.
Once he fell now, Reims Cathedral would be like a rootless duckweed, instantly sunk by the waves around it.
The Holy Court was no longer reliable, and Nok had to make another choice.
King Fran is a good partner to work with.
King Louis was suppressed by Richelieu for ten years, and he was in the prime of life, so he was definitely unwilling to be a puppet for Richelieu.
At this time, Reims Cathedral came out and acted as a knife in the hand of King Louis, and if he went toe-to-toe with Richelieu, King Louis would definitely gladly accept it and vigorously support the relatively weak Reims Cathedral.
As long as it can develop with the help of Flange's resources for two or three years, Nock believes that Reims Cathedral will be able to regain its footing.
When the time comes, it will not be difficult to replace Richelieu or expel him.
What Richelieu can do, Nock boasts he can do, and can do even better.
What Richelieu didn't dare to do, Nock not only had to do, but also did it perfectly, leaving no trace!
Nock's eyes gleamed with ambition, but he ignored time.
There was a knock on the door, and Hope outside the door reminded Nock that it was late at night and it was time to rest.
Only then did Nock realize that he had been sitting at the table for hours in a trance.
Lights out and go to bed, Nock soon fell asleep.
Nock rested here, and Hope and the others also went back to the room to rest, leaving only five guards on duty at night.
Three guards mounted, two guarding the doorway of the house.
In the dead of night, the town of Mock fell into a sweet sleep.
Both uninvited "guests" and frightened residents are immersed in their own dreams.
Only the light in the study of the mayor's mansion was still on.
Mayor Wenderson walked up and down the study, with a copy of the information on his desk.
It was this information that made it difficult for Vinderson to choose.
In addition to Nock and his party in the town today, there is also a group of people of unknown origin.
If it was just from an unknown source, Wenderson wouldn't have to worry so much.
It's just that this group of people went to Nock Lane and his party.
Don't ask him how he found out, it's really the intelligence that says that this group of people is now gathering near the hotel where Nock Lane is staying, monitoring every move in the hotel.
If something happens, anger Nok Lane and hold Mork accountable, it's not something Mork can afford.
It's a false alarm during the day, but once you anger Nock Lane, the false alarm of the day will become a reality!
Those fifty wolf knights want to slaughter Mork Town, but it's just a gesture!
can destroy the good things on the side of the royal city, and it may not be a force that is offended.
As far as Wenderson knew, there were no less than six or seven groups of spies sent by Wang Cheng to Reims City, and they were not from the same force.
Now Wenderson is struggling that he has to make a choice.
Whether to choose to side with Reims City and inform Nock Lane, or choose to side with King City and remain silent.
Whichever side you choose, it's a big gamble.
In the long run, Rans City is lonely and unlikely to be an opponent on the Wangcheng side.
King Nok Lane has returned, and it is rumored that he is already a master of the Holy Order. There is such a wolf cavalry under his command, and those people of unknown origin may not be the opponent of Nock's gang.
Besides, in the event of a battle, it is not the residents of Mork Town who will suffer.
Just as he was in a dilemma, his butler came.
"Sir, it's time to rest." The butler is a middle-aged man who was exiled to Mocktown a few years ago and was taken in by Wenderson.
After a few years of getting along, they kept the Mock family in good order, won the trust of Wenderson, and became a confidant.
"Profis, you're here. How can I sleep, the town of Mock is in trouble. ”
Wenderson complained to the butler with a sad face, asking him to help him make a choice.
The housekeeper, who used to be polite, suddenly had a trace of indifference on his face.
"Sir, I don't think this kind of thing requires a choice. In fact, deep down in your heart, didn't you make a choice a long time ago? Otherwise, instead of hesitating here, you would be present in the hostel now. It's a wise choice. ”
Vinderson was shocked, as if he had been empowered.
Yes, if he hadn't made his choice, he shouldn't have been at home now, but went to a hotel.
Otherwise, even if he made his choice now, he wouldn't have had time to inform the hotel.
After all, midnight is coming!
"Who the hell are you?"
Vinderson looked at the housekeeper in front of him, who looked like a completely different person, and asked his doubts.
The butler sneered, "Does it matter who I am?" After tonight, I won't be here after tonight, for success or failure. Exposed chess pieces, there is no need to continue to stay. The important thing is, sir, what do you want to do in the future. ”
"Later? You don't have a future! ”
An abrupt voice interjected, shocking the master and servant in the study.
"Who! Who's talking! ”
The butler exuded murderous intent and looked around vigilantly.
But the study is such a big hall place, and it can't hide people at all.
Unless...... Stealthy Assassins!
The butler thought of the presence of the assassin, and his heart couldn't help but be afraid.
"Let's go!"
He pulled a bewildered Wenderson past him and rushed towards the open door.
"Poof!" The two who had just stepped out of the room were pierced through the chest by a water arrow from the side, pinning them to the corridor.
"Uh...... Belch...... You ......" The housekeeper's eyes widened, looking at the murderer in front of him, he couldn't get up in one breath, and scraped it off directly.
As for Vinderson, an ordinary person, he has already gone to hell before he lands.
Hope, who was not wearing armor, shook his hand with a look of disappointment.
"I thought it was some kind of supreme master, and I still want to calculate my master like this?"
Hope spit out disdainfully, and then a stream of water swept up the corpse on the ground and rushed out of the hallway window.
Hope herself, treading the current, navigated the shadowy corners.
After the matter was dealt with here, he didn't catch the mastermind behind the scenes, and he had to rush back to the hotel, so as not to miss the finale.
Nock didn't realize that the inn was a trap, because before that, Wenderson himself didn't know that there was an extra gang of unidentified people in town. Naturally, Nock didn't notice the flaw.
But Nock didn't notice it, it doesn't mean that those assassins can hide the nose of the Shadow Demon Wolf!
By the time the innkeepers were "resting", the Assassins waiting outside were already ready to move.
But they were still waiting, waiting for midnight to come.
"Bell-bell...... Clang! ”
On the bell tower, the clock strikes midnight.
A group of men in black rushed out of the buildings and alleys around the hotel, armed with sharp weapons, and surrounded the hotel.
"Kill!"
The man in black who was running in front directly took out the fire fold, took out a water bag from his body, pulled out the plug, and threw it into the courtyard of the hotel.
Smack, smack, click!
One by one, the water bags smashed on the ground, emitting a pungent smell.
This made the faces of a group of wolf cavalry who were in ambush in the courtyard change dramatically.
"Not good! It's kerosene! Rush out, everyone! ”
The cavalry captain reminded loudly in orc language that he was the first to turn over his mount and charge.
But it was too late, and the enemy's fire folds followed, thrown from the wall, hung on the ground, and ignited the kerosene bags on the ground.
Bear!
A raging flame ignited, immediately disturbing the lurking wolves.
Although the demon wolf is wise, it is still an animal, and it is instinctive to be afraid of fire.
What's more, it was surrounded by flames.
"Quick! Rush out first! ”
Without bothering to appease the frightened demon wolf mount, the ten-man team rushed out of the courtyard directly, and what greeted them was the barrels of the enemy's guns.
"The target has appeared! Shoot! ”
"Bang, bang, bang."
Gunshots rang out, and the entire town of Mock was boiling.
Countless people woke up from their dreams, but they didn't dare to go out to check.
"Damn, a squad is ambushed! Two teams and three teams, attack! The fourth and fifth teams stayed to protect the master! ”
As soon as the door of the hotel opened, the wolf cavalry, who had been waiting in the lobby of the hotel, rode out on their mounts and rushed out to support the first squad of Zhongfu.
"Help! Help me! ”
At the hotel, the startled owner and employees ran out of their rooms, shouting "help".
Behind them, several men in black rushed out of the room with sharp knives in their hands.
The four and five teams of wolf riders who stayed behind hurriedly drew their swords and rushed towards the enemy.
The assassins who rushed in were no match for the wolf rider at all, and even without a mount, the wolf rider was a powerful orc warrior armed with a heavy sword.
Five teams of wolf riders, two of which were Boer warriors, one was a Pig, one was a Wolf, and the last was a half-blooded Beamon.
The three groups that rushed out were the Boer and the Pig, and the ones who stayed behind were the Wolf and the Bimon.
The Wolfs have a quick hand and a keen sense of smell, making them best suited to preventing assassinations.
The Beamon people have a simpler brain than the Pigs, but they have the greatest strength, and they are the most suitable for being a thug.
The assassins who rushed in were just ordinary Terrans, and their individual force value was no match for the two orc knights.
It's just that they didn't notice that the shopkeeper and the two employees who escaped from them were much faster than normal.
The boss and two employees who ran away ran to Nock's door in a "panic" and began to bang frantically on Nock's door, calling for help.
"Help! Noble man, save us! Someone's killing someone! ”
