Chapter 462 Assassination
Dark Wings.
This is the most powerful assassin group active in Herman's dark world. To be honest, Kriolev has never thought of using the power of these assassins, but now, he seems to have no other choice.
"This is your mission."
Looking at the masked woman in front of him, Kriolev whispered. The person in front of him at this moment is the leader of the Dark Wings Group - Black Swan. Naturally, it was also Hermann's strongest assassin, Kriolev. If it were anyone else, it would be impossible to know who this person was.
"You want me to kill the Grand Inquisitor?"
Black Swan's voice is calm.
"But wasn't the Council's order to capture him alive?"
"If you can do it, you might as well try."
Kriolev shook his head.
"Whether it's killed, injured or captured alive, it's up to you. No matter what, you must make them feel threatened. If you need any help, we can help."
"No, I can go alone."
"Are you going alone?"
Hearing Black Swan's answer, Kriolev was stunned for a moment, while Black Swan nodded.
"Of course, the other party's methods are changeable. More people going will increase the variables. If I go alone, I can escape unscathed even if I encounter danger."
"...Okay, whatever you want to do."
Kriolev didn't pay too much attention. He actually didn't expect Black Swan to succeed. Indeed, the other party was quite famous in Hermann's country, but how could the Inquisitor be so easy to mess with? He was a ruthless man who killed the former Demon King and several Demon Lords. No matter how powerful you are as Black Swan, are you more powerful than the Demon King or the former Demon King?
But no matter what, Kriolev can only use this method. The army's attack currently seems to outweigh the gains, and the morale of the First Army is also declining day by day. However, it is easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. Since the opponent can easily handle his frontal attack, he will send assassins to assassinate him, so as to make the opponent nervous, and then maybe he can seize the opportunity.
As for how far this black swan can achieve...it depends on herself.
Soon, when night fell again, the black swan quietly came to the wall of Bonn Fortress.
To her surprise, there were no guards on the fortress, and no soldiers could be seen. There were only a few lonely torches there, and they did not look alert at all.
What is going on?
Black Swan was confused in her heart, and at the same time, she also increased her vigilance. She also knew that the people in the Tribunal had very magical spells, so she did not sneak into the fortress according to the established route, but climbed over the nearby mountain and came quietly. The side of the fortress. Black Swan then used the rope to climb up the city wall and arrived inside the fortress.
After all, the walls of Bonn Fortress are only three meters high, which is really not very high. For a top killer like Black Swan, it is naturally not a problem.
But when the black swan stepped onto the city wall, the first thing he sensed was a... fragrance!
Yes, it smells great!
What does this smell like?
Out of curiosity, Black Swan stuck his head out suspiciously and looked cautiously in the direction of the smell.
Then, she was stunned.
I saw a huge bonfire burning in the square in the center of the fortress, which was originally a place for gathering troops and training. Next to the bonfire, there was a dining table with various dishes on it. Great variety of food. There are desserts, roast chicken, and even a lot of bright and beautiful fruits... Well, even the black swan can't help but want to drool after seeing it.
But right now, those girls are at the dining table, holding wine glasses, talking and laughing while eating and drinking. It feels like they are not on a battlefield, but more like in a banquet and dance hall!
Is it so comfortable?
Seeing this scene and thinking about the tragic situation of the First Army below, Black Swan was speechless. I really don't know what Kriolev would think if he knew that the enemy he was racking his brains to deal with was having a banquet here. . I mean, this is too disrespectful. They are being aggressive down there, but you are eating, drinking and having fun up there?
If the First Legion hadn't been beaten down by the opponent several times in a row, Black Swan would have even thought that these girls were just unlearned and unskilled waste!
But now... He has proven his strength. Eating and drinking is a reflection of his strength.
But that’s fine too.
At least for now, it seems that the other party has not noticed his infiltration, and usually there will be a lot of intelligence collection on such occasions. Although she certainly couldn't show up, Black Swan still quietly sneaked into the shadows of the corridor, not far from the banquet hall, listening to the chats of those girls.
"The First Legion is not attacking anymore? What about our graduation assessment?"
"Don't worry, I heard that the Second Army will arrive soon, and the council seems to be very dissatisfied with General Kriolev and will definitely launch another attack. Then we will have a chance to perform."
"I hope I can get an award..."
"You don't have to worry about that. I think it's definitely fine."
"But Hermann's soldiers couldn't help but fight. They fell down before we could use any force. I heard that the soldiers in this country are very tough. I thought it would be a tough battle..."
“……………………”
Listening to the discussion of the girls, Black Swan had black lines all over his face. Fortunately, General Kriolev was not here, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would vomit blood and die.
However, Black Swan also learned another piece of information from the girls.
The Second Army is about to arrive, and the Council is very dissatisfied with General Kriolev and is likely to take away his command!
You know, even you don't know this information, but how do the enemies know it?
Moreover, from the casual remarks of the girls attending the banquet, it can be seen that this does not seem to be particularly important information to them, and they are required to keep it confidential...
Black Swan's original idea was to go to the warehouse and light a fire to plunge the entire fortress into chaos, but...
"Speaking of which, everyone is here for the banquet. Is there no problem with safety?"
"No problem. Those soldiers are responsible for guarding. I also summoned a few dust giants to guard. There will be no problem."
"……………………" Hearing this, Black Swan decisively gave up the idea. If it was just a soldier, she wouldn't be worried, but she had seen that kind of dust colossus on the battlefield. There was no weakness at all. , the only way is to smash it into pieces. Obviously, for an assassin like me, this requirement is too high.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a piece of news caught Black Swan's attention.
"By the way, where is Lord Duanmu?"
"He went back to his room to rest."
"So early?"
"They have other entertainment activities..."
As he said this, the girls giggled. When hearing this, Black Swan's eyes flashed with light. As a top assassin, she certainly knew what the girls meant. In other words, Duanmu Huai was unprepared now, so it was a good time to take action herself!
As for where Duanmu Huai is, it may be a problem for a rookie, but it is not a problem for a seasoned assassin. After all, a qualified commander must follow certain rules even if it is a resting place. . Otherwise, when the enemy starts fighting, you'll be sleeping soundly in a corner, and you won't wake up until the enemy catches you... Wouldn't it be too late?
So soon, Black Swan arrived at the headquarters located in the center of the fortress. According to her experience, the general commander's room should be nearby, and in fact, Black Swan was not wrong.
"Ugh...ah...uh...!!"
When the black swan quietly approached a window from the wall, she immediately heard a beast-like roar coming from inside. Hearing this voice, Black Swan's face froze slightly, then she stretched out her hand, quietly held the short blade at her waist, quietly came to the window, and looked inside.
Immediately afterwards, Black Swan saw a strong, extremely tall man standing there, and his hands were holding a petite purple-haired girl, who.........
< br>
"Ah...Ahhhh!!!"
The purple-haired girl suddenly screamed...
"………………"
Watching this scene, Black Swan calmed down his emotions, held the poison-coated dagger, and slowly approached the window. However, just when she came to the window, suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Hehe, peeking at this time is not a good thing, right?"
"!?"
Hearing the voice coming from behind him, Black Swan felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly drew out the poisonous blade and swung it back. However, the poisonous blade that sealed his throat with blood was completely emptied. Then Black Swan felt someone pushing behind her, pushing her directly into the room. At the same time, the arm she was waving back was caught by the other party, dislocated with a "click", and then pointed it in the opposite direction. his own neck.
"The little mouse has been caught."
"Thank you for your hard work, Suzume."
Duanmu Huai nodded to Ling Nu behind Black Swan, and then stared at Black Swan, while the latter's expression remained unchanged as he looked coldly at Duanmu Huai in front of him.
"Are you the assassin sent by Kriolev to kill me?"
“……………………”
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you want to say it or not. I don't intend to kill you. Just send a message to General Kriolev for me."
Duanmuhuai didn't care about his current appearance. He first carried the unconscious Kanami to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then looked at the black swan.
"Herman's change is necessary, and it also requires his strength. Perhaps escaping is indeed a simple thing for him. But I hope that he can truly face all this, instead of just being a A deserter who ran away from the battlefield. The reality may be cruel, but this is his mission. If he hopes to fight for Hermann's tomorrow, then we still have to fight for it. I hope he can stand on our side...Okay, please convey these words to General Kriolev. By the way, tell him that this is an internal problem of Hermann after all. If he is Hermann. Man's most famous general has never been willing to face up to and change this country. That is also his own choice. The Inquisition will no longer care about such nonsense."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai made a gesture, and then Lingnu exerted a little force, and with a "click" sound, Black Swan's originally dislocated arm was reattached again, and she moved her arm. Looking towards Duanmuhuai.
"Are you so sure that I will deliver the message? General Kriolev is not an easily convinced person."
"Whether I tell you or not is my business, whether you pass it on or not is your business, and whether he listens or not is his business."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"You can go."
“……………………”
After listening to Duanmuhuai's words, Black Swan stared at him carefully for a moment, then without saying a word, he turned out of the window and left.
"Huh...that's really troublesome."
Duanmuhuai breathed a sigh of relief after watching the other party leave, and at this time Lingnu also came over with a smile.
"How is it? Suzume did a great job, right?"
"Of course."
Hearing Ling Nu's words, Duanmu Huai chuckled and stretched out his hand to hug Ling Nu.
"I will also give you a reward."
He spoke.
