Section 5 Assassination

"Assassinate the Vampire Queen??" more than one person gasped.

What kind of power vampires have, everyone here probably has an idea. If you want to assassinate the queen of vampires, relying on just a few people is simply wishful thinking.

"Let me first explain to you that the queen of vampires, Kotoshin, does not have the superior combat power of her subordinates. ”

"How do you know Lu Dao? Have you fought with her?"

"You don't need to fight, you just need a normal head to deduce. First of all, no matter where Queen Lyreheart goes, she will always be accompanied by her personal bodyguard, Sir the vampire Demon Figure. Aside from her, none of the vampires had the habit of carrying guards in their daily operations. Secondly, according to reliable evidence, the queen was not in the habit of carrying weapons, except for a symbolic long dagger, she was unarmed. Even the dagger, she never pulled it out, and often forgot to carry it. Third, we know from various sources that there has never been a record of Queen Qinxin using weapons, let alone a record of her directly engaging anyone. Eventually, he gathered information from the Queen's maids that the Queen's daily life was very dependent on magic and servants, and rarely used hands. Based on the above, I can judge that although the queen has a strong amount of magic power, she should be vulnerable in hand-to-hand combat, as long as she is not given the opportunity to use magic. ”

"Didn't you mention the bodyguard just now? With that personal guard here, what does it matter if she is strong or not?"

"That's why I'm gathering you today. The vampires had suffered heavy losses in previous wars, and just a few days later, Sir Moto had left the queen to take command of the front. He was indeed strong enough, but I must say that Qin Xin's decision was a little late. Nothing can be done to undo Kalean's defeat now. However, if Kotoshin dies early, it will reduce the casualties of the coalition forces by a lot. ”

"Maybe it's a real opportunity to assassinate, but how are we going to get out of the academy. ”

"There is no need to leave the academy. Remember the prime seat in the Colosseum? It's actually the seat for the Queen of the Hearts. And Kotoshin has a habit of watching gladiatorial performances every once in a while. ”

"But there's magic guarding it. And as you said, even if the queen is not good at white-knuckle combat, she can still use magic. ”

"So let's get to the point, I have a Demon Breaker Scroll. ”

This answer is shocking. The Demon Breaker Scroll is the nemesis of magic and a weapon of war. Using this thing on the battlefield can disable any magic and make the invincible mages stare at nothing for a short time. It's just that the price of this thing is really outrageous, and the price of a demon-breaking scroll is enough to recruit and train five teams of militia or pay a whole team of knights for a whole year's commission. Worst of all, the Demon Breaker Scroll is a disposable.

"As for the rest, I've been well prepared. Our retreat route has been set, so that we can exit the city in time to join up with the main force. As for everyone's compensation, the coalition command will definitely not be stingy. On behalf of the King, I can promise that all of you can become lords of the Kingdom of Ryan and receive corresponding territorial and hereditary privileges......"

"I'm not participating, thank you. Scar pushed away his chair and stood up.

"Is it too risky? It's dangerous, but remember, even if we do nothing, we will die sooner or later. It's better to risk your life!"

"It's not about risk. Scar walked out the door. "It's just that I don't want to go. ”

Lacey looked at Scar's back, his brow flushed with confusion.

A few days later, at dawn, Lacey knocked on Scar's door.

Scar was there, naked with his upper body, moving his upper limbs. Sweat seeped from his body, giving his skin a shiny glow. Reis realized that the man's body seemed to be made up entirely of muscles, shuttlecocks, and bones. Although his body does not look particularly stout, there is no doubt about the amount of power contained in this body. This is the combined effect of long-term good exercise and self-disciplined life. It is enough to amaze a woman and make a man jealous.

"In three days, the Queen of Piano will return to the Colosseum. Since there was no second desert leopard, they decided to organize a high-level group fight. All of us have to participate. You too. ”

Scar stopped, looking at Lacey with some bewilderment.

"I know you don't want to be part of what I'm planning, but I want to tell you anyway. Because you're still a human after all? From the standpoint of a human being, I want you to cooperate. After all, this is humanity's war against vampires. ”

"On that day, we will be divided into two teams and go out to fight. But I've come to a consensus with all the gladiators who have appeared. So that day was the best chance for us to get our hands dirty. There will be no second chance of this. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?!"

"Everything I want to say has already been said. Lacey turned around and left Scar's room, closing the door. As he walked past the door of another room, the people inside winked at him.

"How?"

"That guy didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong. He shouldn't betray us, though. He's a human after all. ”

Lacey walked into his room. After making sure that there was no one around, he gently picked up a small inconspicuous box from the corner of the wall. The box was small and flat, and it couldn't hold anything. Unless it's a few sheets of paper.

He opened the box, took out a few pieces of parchment, and carefully examined it again with the look of a miser checking his gold coins. There are three scrolls, one is the Demon Breaker Scroll, which is used to destroy magical defenses and destroy the magic of enemy mages, one is a teleportation scroll, which is used to convey information in a short period of time, and the last one is a teleportation scroll, which can teleport a person for a considerable distance.

Each reel is exceptionally valuable and will play a crucial, irreplaceable role. Now, these precious scrolls can no longer be placed here, but must be hidden on the body, just in case.

Lacey thought very clearly. Before he enters the arena, he uses the teleportation scroll in the break room to tell the coalition forces outside about his actions. This information will be accepted, and then indelible evidence will be provided for his operation. No one will compete with him for this great credit. In the gladiatorial arena, he will use the Demon-Breaking Scroll to break all the magic that gets in the way, while temporarily stripping the magicians of Callean, including the Queen of the Heart, of their spell-casting abilities. It is said that the dark magic is affected by the scroll for a short time, but it doesn't take much time. Anyway, when the time comes, a group of gladiators will swarm and kill Kotoshin in the short time that she has no power to resist.

After doing all this, he will lead the gladiators to retreat from the predetermined route. The route was safe, and they would retreat smoothly to the neighborhood, running to their intended location before the vampires reacted and tore the group of Assassins apart. When the time comes, the teleportation scroll will play its most crucial role, teleporting him outside the city, into the positions of the coalition forces.

Of course, the gladiators would have to stay and face a group of angry and mad vampires. But the sacrifice was worth it. With the loss of the Queen of the Heart, the vampires were leaderless, and the fall of Kalian was only in the moment.

"I'm sorry, brothers. Lacey slowly hid the three scrolls and whispered to himself. He didn't mean to tell these lies, he was forced by the situation and had no choice. The Kingdom of Ryan had never given Lacey so much power to promise his realm and nobility. The same goes for the coalition forces outside the city. But what if you don't have a big enough stake to get the support of others to participate in this dangerous assassination?

Lacey suddenly noticed a small surprise, there was a fourth scroll in the box, and it was also a teleportation scroll. It's likely that the person in charge made a mistake, or it was used by the person delivering the supplies, but it didn't come in handy at the least.

Lacey thought for a moment and didn't move the fourth scroll. He closed the box and put it back in its place.

Action is about to take place, and the long-term planning is finally coming to fruition. Once Lacey has completed this task, he will no longer be a mere knight. He will be promoted to baron, gain a rich domain, own a castle, and have a bright future from now on. Of course, the baron was only the beginning, and he, Lacey, was undoubtedly no match for the mediocre. He will gain more status and wealth. He will receive guests in his palatial castle. For many years to come, he will regale his guests the story of how he took great risks to kill the vampire queen, receiving their adoring gaze and admiration.

This beautiful vision of the future temporarily made him abandon all the unhappiness in front of him. The matter has been done, only the last step remains, as long as you kill the queen of the piano heart, everything will be done.

Of course, in the eyes of strategists, the last step is definitely not the most difficult step, but a natural consequence.

Lacey lay down on a soft and comfortable cushion, and this fantasy filled his heart with inexplicable excitement. He had to pour a delicious glass of sour plum wine to calm his mood.

"Cheers to Duke Lacey. Lacey raised his glass and whispered to his fantasy scene. After speaking, he drank it all.

But the tension quickly dissipated. Lacey remembered an unstable factor, the guy named Scar.

Although Reis confidently told others that Scar was fine. But in fact, this unsettling factor is still beating the drum in his heart. In case Scar reports it to the Academy...... No, it shouldn't be possible. But why did he refuse to be wooed by such good conditions? If it was a cowardly nature, it would not make sense. Intellectually, the gladiators also knew that sooner or later they would fight to the death. In that case, it is better to fight to the death!

But...... There are only three short days, and in three days, I am afraid that this uncertainty cannot be resolved.

Assassination, framing, these are all stupid acts. If you attract attention, it will ruin a big thing.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lacey finally gave up. He looked at the empty cup in his hand and let out a sigh.

"After all, nothing is perfect. There is always some risk. ”
