Chapter 588: The Down-and-Out Assassination Squad
"Are you sure it's thirty-three?" asked Tazmi again.
"Of course, I can't count wrong!" Dusty replied affirmatively.
It's been more than a year, it's been more than a year since the war between the Basharan Empire and the Borgs, the original revolutionary army has long been destroyed, maybe some of them are still alive but they must be living badly, since the city of Oro came out that time, the two have not participated in any revolutionary army activities, and even in the revolutionary army, they thought that the two of them were dead.
After the end of the war, the two entered the Great Desert from the southern border of Bashalam, and at first lived in several cities in the Great Desert, and later encountered the incident of the Golden Regiment.
The two of them almost didn't get out that time...... But every experience was like a joke on the two of them, and they not only came out, but also survived the threat of Jagon at that time.
It is said that many Imperial soldiers later found the Sun Temple at that time, and after knowing that the two were the people who were killed at that time, they also distributed some subsidies, especially the princesses and princes......
Dusty and Tazmi never thought that they would accept the subsidy of the country that strangled the revolutionary army in the first place, after all, in their opinion, if it were not for the remnants of the war in Jagon, their side would definitely win in the end, even if the Basharan Empire could resist the country, the territory would be divided, and the revolutionary army could completely occupy a region and establish a state.
However, these are all fantasies, and since Jagon joined the fray, the battle has become one-sided.
So they don't have much affection for this country...... However, the situation was special at that time, and the two decided to leave only after accepting the subsidy.
This journey reached the southern city and followed the caravan south to the southern continent of Kesselk.
For two or three months, with the little ability of Tazmi and Dusty, it was no problem to do some mercenary work, and the two gradually settled down, but then they actually heard that the tribute that Kselk sent to Jagon was stolen and the diplomat was killed, and the two were secretly having fun at that time, and I am afraid that the two countries will fight when such a thing happens.
But...... It's a pity......
The always arrogant Sun King actually chose to swallow his anger at such a time, and also sent troops to the sea to exterminate the pirates, because they had already investigated that the ** who robbed the tribute was the pirates behind the plot.
After that, there was no more news, and the next time I heard about Jagon was that Prince Sean had come to the capital of Kesselk and lived in the palace as a state guest......
Due to this time, Dusty and Tazmi had to make a trip to the capital because of a delivery mission, and they happened to encounter this incident.
Ten days ago, Emperor Serge ordered the public execution of the pirate Locks, and all the citizens of the capital city could come and watch...... As for the name of this Locks, Tazmi had heard some of them when he was in the cities along the coast of the Great Desert, and he could be regarded as a very notorious sea overlord, but unfortunately he was finally caught by the desert prince and had to be publicly executed.
I'm afraid the fate of a pirate won't be much better than this!
Interestingly, however, the day before Locks was to be sent to the gallows, the prison where he was being held caught fire and all the prisoners, including him and some of Kselke's national soldiers, died in the fire......
There are many theories about this among the people, and what is even more interesting is that a few days later, the big library in the city happened again**, this time even more bizarre and bizarre, it is said that everyone around was turned into white bones in an instant, and the two national alchemists present at the time insisted that they had fought with the skeletons.
A lot of people don't believe it, but they just hold on to it......
Gradually, it began to become an urban legend, and it was spread on a small scale.
Since the bodies were all disposed of by the military, many people did not really see the specific situation, and the streets were temporarily closed to people to enter......
But there were still many brave people who went in to see the situation, saying that all the plants in that place had withered, and even the walls seemed to be corroded, which once again confirmed the gossip from the side.
Tazmi counted the number of people who had come, muttering to herself.
"What's wrong? Dusty asked.
"I guess this was arranged by the emperor of this country, I don't know what he is going to do, but in a few days, something big will definitely happen. â
Tazmi was also an investigator in the Revolutionary Army before becoming a member of the Assassination Squad, and was the strongest in the squad for some political sensitivities.
"Shall we go back first?"
"Go back...... Why. You come with me first. â
The figures of the two in the crowd disappeared into the alleys of the street.
..................
In a nondescript tavern.
The messy tavern bar was mixed with the lingering musty smell of alcohol in the nose......
This is usually the cheapest tavern in the city, because it is in a shady place, and the environment itself is not good, but it is often a place where some low-income people, ordinary mercenaries and merchants like to stay.
There are a lot of thieves, but there is no way.
It's cheap after all!
When you go out, you just need to keep an extra eye.
And Tazmi and Dusty live in this place, and the two originally wanted to wait for a new mission to go back after delivering the goods, but they ran into these two **.
"Tazmi, aren't we going back?"
"What's the hurry now, maybe Dì Dū will look good in a few days, and then our Prince Sean may appear ......"
When it comes to Sean, both of them are angry in their hearts, perhaps more angry than angry.
They are already enemies.
At first, I wanted to kill each other in my heart, but as time passed, the anger in my heart disappeared, but it was definitely hateful and not wrong.
"Do you still want to ......?"
"Shhhhhhh
Dusty looked at each other anxiously.
For more than a year, the two have been getting along day and night, and it is impossible to say that there is no emotion, but no matter what kind of relationship, Dasty does not want the other party to have another accident.
"Impossible, he is now a prince, and any of the guards around him are masters, not to mention that even if you get close to us, even if you look at him more in the crowd, I am afraid that he will be discovered. â
The two of them, whose strength is only about level 6 of the orderly, have no room to parry the royal guards, even if the members of the assassination team have no experience in front of the other party, they are still battle-hardened warriors.
"Of course I know it's impossible, but we'll have to give it a try...... Don't forget why we're the way we are. â
