Gunshots rang out, and three bursts of fire cut into the wall behind Minerva with three small holes.

With a pull of the bolt, the preloaded dud bullet popped out of the shell window and raised the muzzle again to Minerva's chest.

"Your Highness, please sit back in your place and don't play tricks. This kind of gun can easily misfire, and if you accidentally injure a lady, it will bother us a lot. ”

The expressionless man said in a tone that did not rise or fall:

"Her Majesty will soon arrive, and I hope that Her Royal Highness will be able to greet Her Majesty with the proper etiquette of a lady. ”

"The third watch pointed a gun at a woman in the middle of the night and forced the other party to obey his orders, which is something that only strong ** and murderers do. When did the church fall to the same level as scum?"

Facing the muzzle of the gun pointed at her, Minerva was undaunted, and her intense gaze turned to the man with the gun.

If it was a high-ranking general on the army's side, he would inevitably be suppressed by his eyes at this time, but the man with the gun did not relax his guard at all, and did not move towards Minerva's muzzle. The eyes without emotional fluctuations are silently announcing: If necessary, even if the other party is a princess, he will shoot without hesitation.

"Please don't challenge our patience, Your Highness. You are an important hostage, and no one wants to see any damage. ”

"Hah! It turns out that it's not a strong ** and a murderer, but an abductor. ”

"I've already said it!!"

Unable to bear it, the Assassin raised his gun, this time aiming at Minerva's side, believing that the imminent miss would make the unruly princess realize the reality and put away her sharp tongue. However, this is actually quite a dangerous move, you must know that the shooting accuracy of the Stern submachine gun itself is not very good, and the combination of Charlemagne's copycat submachine gun and hand-cut bullets further reduces the shooting accuracy. Trying to hit a near miss with this stuff will most likely end up with a Minerva covered in bullets.

The Assassin knew this, but he couldn't do much with his anger, and he just wanted to shut up the arrogant little girl for now.

"Shut up!!"

The Assassin roared loudly as he pulled the trigger.

However, the gunshots did not ring out.

That is arguably the result of course.

The assassin's gaze slid downward, his hideous expression frozen.

The trigger that should have been pulled to the end was still in place, but the index finger that hooked the trigger was gone.

Wrong.

It's not that it's gone.

It's not just the index finger, either.

The index, middle, ring, and little fingers of the right hand were all neatly cut off from the heel of the fingers, and the entire palm of the left hand was cut off, and the submachine gun that was split in two fell into a pool of scarlet blood.

"Spiders. ”

Minerva turned and said:

"It's started. ”

"Understand and understand~"

A girl with a pleasant face walked from the window of the conference room, and with crisp steps, a few silver strands writhed and stretched in the light.

"I'll play with you, third-rate amateur assassins. ”

"Fire!Fire!!"

The man with the severed hand ordered loudly. Judging by his injuries and the amount of bleeding, even if he didn't cry and roll on the ground at this time, he should have fainted after a lot of blood loss. However, this man is still able to judge the situation and give orders, should I say that he has great willpower, or is it a strong sense of faith that can even override medicine?

In any case, this is indeed a resolute commander, and his subordinates who act immediately after receiving orders are also excellent.

It's just that the order itself is a mistake, and actions taken on the basis of the wrong order will naturally not lead to good results.

It's like a fly that has fallen into a spider's web, and it won't affect the outcome of the flutter in any way. The Assassins who stepped on the spider silk did not think to shoot until this point, and it was already too late.

With a flick of the index finger, it hid in the gap between the floor and ceiling, and the spider silk, which had already been taut to the limit, immediately bounced up. Spider silk, which is already known as the strongest fiber in nature, is even more powerful than a sword after its passive energy and tension give it great power. Not to mention cutting meat and breaking bones, it is simply a sharp blade that sharpens iron like clay.

The silver light flashed, blood sprayed out from the neat section of the fragments, and under the red blood mist, the big men who commanded countless soldiers to rush to their deaths let out a frightened woman-like exclamation, covering their heads and scrambling into the table to lower. It seems that in this way, you can escape from the bloody and terrifying scene, and escape from the Grim Reaper who plays with life like a puppet.

As they wished, the Grim Reaper quickly departed from them—

###########

The conference room is at the forefront of the battlefield.

There were human fragments everywhere, blood and internal organs painted strange pictures all over the floor, and the strong smell of gunpowder and blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant and body contents formed a suffocating stench.

The frightened crown prince and the senior army generals had been moved to other rooms, and the congregants were cleaning up the scene, and under the escort of a group of iron-faced men, the Holy Maiden of Ji El looked at the conference room like the scene of a murder case.

The youthful and childish face was neither angry nor afraid, only calmly accepting the situation and a trace of unresolved doubt.

"How did Her Royal Highness know about the secret passage in the conference room?"

Pausing in front of a pool of blood, Kiel asked softly as she glanced up at the glass window that was splattered with blood and bodily fluids.

"Could it be that Her Royal Highness holds the royal family's secret that we don't know about?"

"No way. If there was really such a secret, the crown prince would have sent someone to control the secret passage of the conference room, how could he possibly let the other party retreat calmly?"

"Could it be that the pointy-eared heresy revealed it to the princess through some channel?"

A subordinate began to open his mind, but it is not impossible to contact the consortium in this regard.

What's more, all kinds of traces show that the Minerva family was prepared.

"This is the spider silk of the parishioners?"

Looking up at the thin threads stained red with blood, Ji El asked.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, it's unbelievable. ”

If it is a cut wound caused by a sharp weapon such as a sword, even if it is caused by a first-class swordsman using a famous sword, it will definitely form a roll at the edge of the incision. The edges of the fragments scattered on the ground could not be found to be rolled, and the cut section was extremely smooth.

Although a metal wire with a counterweight hanging from the end can be used to cut through apples or muscle tissues by swinging at high speeds, not only are human flesh and bones split in two, but even metal materials such as firearms are also severed.

That kind of power measured in tons, even if the flesh is strengthened with the Enhancement Technique, it is completely unrealistic to apply all the power to a wisp of light spider silk to make it form a slash that is better than a sword. Even though there are many monsters in this world that transcend common sense, as long as it is not at the level of a certain divine will agent, it is impossible to achieve this skill with the power of living beings alone.

In other words, there are organs.

"The other person may have kept the spider silk tight and hidden. ”

A man in a black robe pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, the lenses reflecting a chilling glow in the light.

"It's like a taut rope or a slingshot, because spider silk is very malleable and tough, it's easier to stretch, so the burst of power is greater. As soon as it receives the manipulator's command, it will immediately 'revert', and then—"

"It takes a lot of time to lay out these threads and hide them smartly. ”

"As Her Majesty said. Even for the most skilled, it takes time to lay such an intricate trap. ”

"The secret passage entrance trap is too?"

Giel pouted at the few wood-handled grenades piled on the ground, the lid at the bottom of the handle had been unscrewed, and the porcelain pendant pull ring was exposed.

"Exactly. The pits where grenades are placed are recently hewn, and when retreating, simply attach a zipper to the hair cord to turn the grenade into a mine. ”

Judging from this series of actions, the Minerva family was prepared for a coup d'état. But in that case, why not take this opportunity to kill the crown prince as well, and then pass it on to the church?

But she didn't do this, leaving aside a vote of political enemies and national thieves, and hurriedly evacuated.

Is it because of the love of brother and sister?

Is it the fear that the retreat will be blocked if it is not timely?

No way.

Guiel asked herself that if she or Dauphin Louis were in Minerva's position at the time, she would never miss such a great opportunity. Family affection? This is a political struggle, either you die or I die, and there is no room for emotional intervention at all. How long does it take to pull the trigger or throw a grenade in minutes or hours?

Neither of these reasons is valid, then ...... Could it be that some other external forces are intervening in this coup d'état, trying to guide the whole situation into the script they have written by interfering in certain details of the coup?

"Your Majesty, look—"

A cultist who was cleaning up the scene pointed to the bullet holes in the wall and shouted, and under the leadership of Ji Er, a group of people quickly approached.

There are a total of four bullet holes in the wall.

Three of them were left behind by 9mm Parabellum pistol rounds, which, combined with the cartridge casings and duds left on the ground, were determined to have been left behind by the assault forces that had broken into the room.

So where did the fourth small hole, which has a caliber of significantly less than 9mm and is far from the first three bullet holes, come from?

After getting Ji Er's approval, the cleaning crew quickly chiseled open the wall, and after a while, a 7.92mm special specification sniper rifle cartridge appeared in front of people's eyes.

The answer to why Minerva left in such a hurry is self-evident.

"Whew-"

Stretching out his hand to cover the slightly raised corners of his mouth, Ji El said in an extremely pleasant tone:

"It looks like our opponents really have a good relationship with us. ”

"Do you immediately cordon off the whole city for a search?"

"It's useless, since the other party has been prepared, before we complete the blockade, Her Royal Highness the princess who has planned the escape route in advance will escape from Lüdes. ”

"But ......"

"Don't panic. ”

With a wave of his hand, Giel looked at Lüders who was sleeping in the darkness and smiled quietly.

"I'm sorry, but it's not just the prerogative of Her Royal Highness to be prepared for emergencies. ”
