Chapter 462 Assassination
Dark Wing.
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. In front of him at this moment is the leader of the Dark Wing Group-Black Swan. Naturally, it is also Herman's strongest assassin, that is, Kriolev. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be impossible to know who this person is.
"You want me to kill the Grand Inquisitor?"
Black Swan's voice was very calm.
"But isn't the Council's order to capture him alive?"
"If you can do it, then you might as well try it."
Kriolev shook his head.
"Whether it's killing, injuring or capturing alive, it's up to you. In any case, they must feel threatened. If you need any help, we can help."
"No, I can go alone."
"You go alone?"
Hearing Black Swan's answer, Kriolev was stunned for a moment, and Black Swan nodded.
"Of course, the opponent's methods are varied. If more people go, it will increase the variables. I will go alone, and I can escape unscathed even if I encounter danger."
"...Okay, whatever you do is fine."
Kriolev didn't care too much. He didn't expect the Black Swan to succeed. Indeed, the opponent was quite famous in Herman, but how could the Inquisitor be easy to mess with? He was a ruthless man who killed the former Demon King and several demons. No matter how powerful you are, Black Swan, is it more powerful than the demons or the former Demon King?
But anyway, Kriolev can only use this method. The army's attack seems to be more costly than the gain, and the morale of the First Legion is also declining. But it is easy to avoid an open spear and difficult to defend against a hidden arrow. Since the opponent can easily deal with 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 go... It depends on her.
Soon, when night fell again, Black Swan quietly came to the wall of Bonn Fortress.
To her surprise, there were no guards or soldiers on the fortress at the moment, only a few lonely torches there, and it looked like there was no alert at all.
What was going on?
Black Swan was confused, and at the same time she was alert. She also knew that the people of the Tribunal had very magical spells, so she did not sneak into the fortress according to the established route, but climbed over the mountain next to it and quietly came to the side of the fortress. Then Black Swan climbed up the wall with a rope and came to the inside of the fortress.
After all, the wall of Bonn Fortress is 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 Black Swan stepped onto the wall, the first thing he felt was a... fragrance!
Yes, it smells good!
What is this smell?
Out of curiosity, Black Swan poked his head out in confusion and looked carefully in the direction of the smell.
Then, she was stunned.
In the square in the center of the fortress, which was originally used to gather troops and drill, a huge bonfire was burning at this moment, and next to the bonfire, there was a dining table with all kinds of delicacies on it. There were desserts, roast chicken, and even a lot of bright and beautiful fruits... Well, even Black Swan couldn't help drooling when he saw it.
And now, those girls were at the dining table, holding wine glasses, eating and drinking while chatting and laughing, giving people the feeling that they were not on the battlefield, but more like in a banquet hall!
So comfortable?
Seeing this scene, and thinking about the miserable 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. It's too disrespectful, isn't it? People are aggressive below, and you are eating, drinking and having fun above?
If the First Army hadn't been beaten down by the other side several times in a row, Black Swan would even think that these girls were simply useless and unlearned!
But now... they have proved their strength, and eating and drinking is a manifestation of strength.
But it's okay this way.
At least for now, the other party doesn't seem to have discovered her infiltration, and generally there will be a lot of intelligence collection in such occasions. Although she certainly can't show up, Black Swan still quietly sneaked into the shadow of the corridor, not far from the banquet hall, listening to the chat of those girls.
"The First Army is not attacking? 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 show our performance."
"I hope I can get an A..."
"You don't have to worry about this, I think there will be no problem."
"But Hermann's soldiers are too vulnerable. They fell down before we even tried. I heard that the soldiers of this country are very tough, and 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, it can be seen from the casual remarks of the girls attending the banquet 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 was to smash it into pieces. Obviously, for an assassin like himself, this requirement is too high.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a piece of news caught Black Swan's attention.
"By the way, where is Master 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 a war, 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...
"Ah...Ahhhhh!!!"
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, it's not a good thing to peek at this time, isn't it?"
"!?"
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 its 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 Herman's tomorrow, then we still hope that he can stand on our side... Okay, you put this Please convey these words to General Kriolev. By the way, tell him that this is ultimately an internal problem of Herman. If, as the most famous general of Herman, he is never willing to face up to and change this country, then so be it. It’s his own choice, and 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 it or not is my business, whether you spread it or not is your business, whether he listens or not is his business."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"You can go now."
"…………………………"
After listening to Duanmu Huai's words, Black Swan stared at him carefully for a moment, and then without saying a word, he flipped out of the window and left.
"Huh... It's really troublesome."
Watching the other party leave, Duanmu Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, Lingnu also came over with a smile.
"How is it? Lingnu did a great job, right?"
"Of course."
Hearing Lingnu's words, Duanmu Huai laughed and stretched out his hand to hug Lingnu into his arms.
"I will also reward you."
He said.
