Chapter 321: The Snake's Nest
The staff waiting for their paychecks is the most murderous creature in the world!
Therefore, when hundreds of demons went berserk for their salaries and rushed up viciously, even the shadow assassins who were as high as level sixteen could only be pushed to the ground in grief and anger, and when Lin Taiping finally couldn't stand it anymore and signaled for intermission, this guy was already dying of bloody flesh and blood, and could only gasp in despair and wait for death.
"This is what will happen to us if you offend us!" the blood sickle withdrew the scythe with unfinished intentions, but looked at Lin Taiping with a smile on his face, "My lord, it's all up to you to open the portal in time, otherwise...... But then again, this portal looks familiar?"
"It's normal, this is the twelfth version of the portal that Instein has modified, and it can achieve positioning and teleportation over short distances. Lin Taiping looked at the portal beside him, but said with a strange face, "Of course, you all know that Pig Instein's alchemy invention has never been very reliable, so teleporting and teleporting, some unlucky guys don't know where to be teleported." ”
Well, that's the truth, in fact, at this moment, in a public bathroom in the port of Nantes, Lilu was holding a thick black loaf of bread, looking at a group of dumbfounded men, and asked with tears in her eyes: "Woo woo, thank you, how do I get from here to the Baron's Palace?"
Ahem, putting aside Lilu's misfortune, at least most of the demons teleported accurately in place, and won the victory by an overwhelming margin, so Lin Taiping was still very satisfied with this, and felt that he should give Pig Instein a bonus after going back, and by the way, urge it to study the thirteenth version of the portal again.
"I swear, I'll never use that pig's portal. The blood sickle couldn't help but shudder, looked at the red-clothed dancer who was still full of resentment at her feet, and suddenly stepped on it viciously, "Look at what, you are dead, I swear by the evil of my family." Even if all the shadow assassins of your snake nest are dispatched, they will definitely not be able to save you!"
"Ann, Ann. Lin Taiping patted Blood Scythe's shoulder to express comfort, but he couldn't help frowning slightly, "However, what exactly does the so-called snake nest mean, it seems that all of you know, only I don't know at all?"
"My lord, it's an evil Assassin organization. Commander Mondo, supported by several soldiers, walked over with a pale face covering his wounds. Although the battle was a complete victory, there was not a trace of joy on his face, but he looked worried and anxious, "Damn it, although I don't want to say that, I'm afraid we're in trouble, and it's big trouble." ”
Yes, as Captain Mondo said, this mysterious assassin organization called the Serpent's Nest. It is a dark shadow that hangs over the Emerald Province, and they have cultivated a group of shadow assassins who are not afraid of death, although their individual strength is not strong, they can always rely on ghostly yin stabbing to kill. Killing those who are far stronger than them has also committed an incalculable blood debt.
In the past ten years, at least hundreds of people have died under the vicious stabbing of the snake nest, including the high-ranking nobles of the Emerald Province and the wealthy merchants who have spent a lot of money. There was even no shortage of strong people who needed to look up, and even in the first half of last year, a powerful Silver Intermediate Archmage. He was also tragically killed by the attack of more than a dozen shadow assassins......
To make matters worse, no one knows where the snake's nest is or who is behind it, the organization is like a viper hidden in the mist, staring at its prey mercilessly, only to be killed by the snake when you realize that danger is coming.
In fact, if it weren't for Lin Taiping's vigilance this time, coupled with the timely arrival of the demons, the unlucky Baron Michael would definitely be dead, but it is also strange to say, why did the snake nest take Baron Michael as an assassination target, is it because he shouted "Do you know who my uncle is" every time he appeared on the stage, and finally made everyone angry and complained?
Speaking of Baron Michael, Lin Taiping remembered what was going on, and turned his head to look at Baron Michael, who was still in a coma: "Okay, no matter what, at least Michael is safe and sound, not even a single hair...... Huh?"
This was too early to say, Baron Michael who was still in a coma seemed to be safe and sound, it was a miserable mess, his nose was blue and his face was swollen and foaming at the mouth, he was actually scarred all over his body, and even his fat face seemed to have been hit hard, and even the bridge of his nose was shattered and fractured.
"What happened?" Lin Taiping was dumbfounded, if he remembered correctly, just at the moment when the battle began, Baron Michael was protected by the demons and escaped, it stands to reason that he shouldn't have been harmed, but looking at his miserable appearance now, it was as if he had been viciously trampled by a large group of assassins.
"Well, it's a long story. Blood Scythe coughed a few times with embarrassment on his face, and said, "What, this guy has been screaming desperately all the way to attract attention, we can only knock him out, and then he was a little flustered when he evacuated, his head hit the steps, and then I don't know who was so careless, and actually threw him down from the second floor......"
Very good and powerful, Lin Taiping looked at a group of demons with guilt on their faces, and really didn't want to say anything: "You know what? You are only a little bit close to accomplishing the great goal that these assassins have not accomplished, from this point of view, I think the snake nest should give you a bounty." ”
Hearing the words Snake Nest, Baron Michael in a coma suddenly screamed, and sat up with a pale face: "Help! Help! Don't kill me, if you dare to touch a hair of me, my uncle will definitely ...... Huh?"
It took ten minutes for this guy to finally realize that he had escaped along the way, and he immediately regained his arrogant appearance, but the next moment, when he found that his nose was blue and his face was swollen and his body was broken, he couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Damn, those damn assassins, they dare to do this to me, it's unforgivable, it's unforgivable!"
That's it, that's it, the blood sickle nodded desperately with the demons, indicating that those assassins were too much, Lin Taiping touched his chin speechlessly, just as if he hadn't heard anything, Captain Mondo wanted to say something, but when he saw the threatening gaze of the blood sickle, he immediately shut up very interestingly.
So, Baron Michael, who was kept in the dark, also expressed his warm gratitude to the blood sickle, so that he desperately took out the gold coin and stuffed it, and the head of Mondo finally couldn't stand it, and couldn't help coughing a few times and said, "My lord." Several assassins have been eliminated, only this guy dressed as a dancer is still alive, what do you think happens next?"
"Hit me, hit me hard, I want to know who is so bold as to dare to assassinate me?" Baron Michael waved his hand viciously, gritting his teeth, "Also, I don't care how strong that snake nest is, I must find their hiding place." Peel them all off and hang them in the harbor to dry. ”
"Yes, my lord, I will do my best. Captain Mondo bowed, but he still had a difficult look on his face and said, "However, you should also know that these assassins are all dead soldiers trained by the Snake Nest and have been trained in torture, I am a little worried, I am afraid that he may not be willing to confess......
"Don't waste time. "The cardinal dancer who fell to the ground on her last breath. It was very difficult to show a sneer, even in such a desperate situation, he was still like a poisonous snake, staring gloomily at Lin Taiping and Baron Michael. "You idiots, don't expect any answers from me, never. ”
"Really? Not necessarily. Lin Taiping touched his chin with a smile and turned his head thoughtfully to look at the demons. "You know? There used to be a guy who liked to play the clown, and he used to say that, but then he ...... Not. Bloodsickle, I've heard that demons are good at torturing other people's souls, is there anything you can do?"
Of course, when it comes to torturing human beings, this is the strength of the demons, the blood sickle immediately smiled cruelly, grabbed the slightly discolored red-clothed dancer, and dragged it directly into the back room, Lin Taiping followed leisurely, and did not forget to look at Baron Michael before leaving: "Then, wait a while, I'll be back soon." ”
It was really fast, just a few seconds later, there was a creepy scream in the room, the kind of soul-piercing painful sound, so that Baron Michael and Captain Mondo couldn't help but tremble, and after more than ten minutes, Lin Taiping walked out with a strange face.
"What's the matter, that guy still won't recruit?" Baron Michael couldn't help but be disappointed.
"No, he recruited, everything. Lin Taiping frowned slightly, and paused for a moment before replying, "However, a bit out of my expectations, according to that guy, the target of the Snake Nest this time is not only Mi Gao you, but also me and the Blood Scythe, and the person who instructed and helped them sneak into the port of Nantes was actually someone I didn't know at all." ”
"Who is it?" Baron Michael was stunned, but immediately asked.
"Maybe you'll know Michael?" Lin Taiping was silent for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "That person's name is ...... Hasting!"
Hasting?Hasting?
The name seemed to have a magical power, which made the faces of the commander of Mondo and the armed soldiers change greatly, and in the eerie silence, Baron Michael was stunned at first, and suddenly burst into hysteria: "Damn! Damn! I should have guessed that it was that damn bastard, this is not the first time!"
"It seems that you are very familiar?" Lin Taiping looked at the head of the Mondo group, who immediately lowered his voice with interest, "That Hasting, is the military governor of the Emerald Province, in a certain sense, he controls the entire armed forces of the province, even the governor is full of fear. ”
Lest Lin Taiping didn't understand the meaning of this name, Commander Mondo wiped his cold sweat and said everything he knew, Admiral Hasting, who controlled the official armed army, was the highest military governor of the Emerald Province and had a strong military force, and for many years, this Admiral had been in conflict with the Governor of Gray Mountain, and the two sides had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, both trying to defeat the other party's control of the entire Emerald Province.
"I'll kill that bastard!" Baron Michael roared viciously, "Gather the fleet, gather the fleet for me, go now, blast that damn snake nest to the point where there is no scum left, and I want everyone to know what a terrible end it will be to dare to collude with that bastard in Hastings to plot against me." ”
"Your Excellency, are you sure you want to do this?" "My lord, Captain Mondo still hesitated, "I have to remind you that although we already know the location of the Serpent's Nest, the strength of those outlaws is not weak, and there is the secret support of Admiral Hasting, with our current strength, ......"
"Otherwise, wait for them to continue to assassinate me?" Baron Michael panted with a blue face, he was not stupid, he did not forget to turn his head in anger, and looked at Lin Taiping very eagerly, "Dear Lin, those bastards' assassination targets also include you, you should be able to help me." ”
"Of course. Lin Taiping replied slowly, "However, I still don't understand why they put me on the assassination list?"
"I'll explain it to you, and we can talk about it slowly on the way. Baron Michael grabbed his hand directly and shook it very hard, "Dear Lin, what are you hesitating about, I am willing to pay 500,000 gold coins as a reward, and all the loot we found in the snake's nest belongs to you, how about it?"
There is no doubt that this is a very tempting condition, the snake nest has been operating painstakingly for more than ten years, and with the secret support of Admiral Hasting, it must have accumulated a very amazing wealth, if they can be wiped out, then this huge wealth is enough to alleviate the recent financial constraints of Bloodclaw Island, and even each demon can get a lot of money.
Thinking of this, before Lin Taiping could think about it clearly, the demons next to him couldn't help but pant with red eyes, and the blood sickle couldn't wait to lick their paws and said: "My lord, I think this deal is worth doing, and those bastards have already set their sights on you, of course we have to start first to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill them to the ground." ”
"Hmm, that's what you say......" Lin Taiping thought about it very seriously, and turned his head to look at the other demons, "Guys, what do you think?"
This question is not superfluous at all, hundreds of demons immediately howl fiercely, raising their blood-stained claws high, and can slaughter humans heartily, but also plunder a large amount of staggering wealth, what could be more wonderful than this, this is what the demons are really good at.
"Very well, so decided. Lin Taiping touched his chin very happily, revealing eight snow-white shiny teeth, "Then, we have to set off before the snake nest gets the news, so ...... Dear Michael, you have to put on a show with us to make the snake nest let its guard down. ”
"For example?" Baron Michael suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"Like, how many stabs shall we stab you first?"
"By ...... Why?"
"Ah, we promise that we will stab you accurately, and it won't hurt you. ”
"No, no. ”
"Protest is invalid, blood sickle, start work!"
"Help......
