Chapter 253

"Although we have no enmity, your existence is a threat to my future, so please die."

Raven muttered softly to herself, then emerged from the shadows, ready to get rid of Leeteuk.

At this moment, the door behind him suddenly opened, and Owen rushed in from inside, stabbing the raven directly with his sword.

Raven was startled and did not dare to risk his life. He gave up on assassinating Li Te and instead avoided Owen's attack.

"I knew you would definitely take action at this moment!" Owen said, raising his sword to protect Li Te.

At this time, Li Teuk also sat up from the bed.

"Sorry, Mr. Raven, it seems you still can't take my life."

Facing Li Te's provocation, Raven sneered.

"Hmph, it's okay. I can't take it away this time. I will come again next time. You'd better be on guard every time."

After saying these harsh words, the raven dived into the shadows again and left here.

Owen was guarding Li Te, and even after he noticed that the dangerous aura around him disappeared, he still didn't leave.

"Sure enough, they still sent someone."

Owen said so.

In terms of familiarity with ravens, after Giovanni's death, Owen, who had been visiting ravens every day, should be the most familiar.

He knew that ravens had the ability to escape into the shadows, so he deliberately paid attention to the places where ravens could lurk. After discovering that the building was full of flaws, Owen was sure that ravens would definitely come in the next two days, so today he He deliberately asked Li Te to pretend to be asleep for a while, just to trick the raven out.

After this time, Irving planned to fully strengthen the security here, at least to provide full lighting coverage to ensure that Raven would not attack Little again.

Of course, even if there are no continuous shadows, it is not impossible for the raven to succeed if it doesn't use its own abilities and rushes in from the side.

Therefore, during this period, at least until the raven is caught again, we must not take it lightly.

"Huh, thanks to Mr. Owen, otherwise, I might have died by the raven knife today."

"Thank you Orson. If he hadn't told me about this in advance, I probably wouldn't have come."

Owen said so.

His current mission, in addition to helping Orson, is to capture Raven again.

After all, Raven is a repeat offender of the empire no matter what, and letting him go by mistake would have been the fault of the security office.

After this assassination, Owen finally knew why the raven was released.

He has completely lost trust in Alsace.

The once just and brave prince had changed a lot after becoming the emperor.

He was also lucky that he saw Alsace clearly in time and stood on Orson's side, otherwise, he would be helping others.

…

On the other side, after escaping in a hurry, Raven was preparing to return to the palace and return to Alsace.

The fact that he was planning to assassinate Li Te was predicted in advance, which proved that there must be someone inside Alsace who informed the coalition forces of the information in advance, otherwise Li Te would not have been pretending to be asleep today.

However, when he reached an alley again, he stopped.

In front of him, a little blond girl was standing at the entrance of the alley, with her hands behind her back, her red eyes wide open, looking at herself curiously.

"Hey, big brother, why are you walking alone in a place like this so late? Isn't it dangerous?"

The raven looked at each other, his eyelids twitching wildly.

This is where he was caught by the people from Orchid Tavern after he succeeded in assassinating Francois last time.

At that time, the person who stopped him was the real owner of Orchid Tavern, a monster known as the "Angel of Killing".

And the little girl I met here today was no coincidence!

The raven instinctively sensed the dangerous aura, and just as he was about to run back, a flare instantly rose in the sky, and a little fox orc girl with long brown hair also stopped behind him.

"You are the bad guy who wants to kill Brother Leeteuk, right?"

The little girl said this, looking at the raven with indignation.

For some reason, Raven even felt a more terrifying aura in the little girl.

Now that the flares were lighting up the sky and nearby areas, the shadows had disappeared and the abilities he was so proud of were no longer available.

Raven looked at the scene in front of him, and at this moment he just wanted to kill the person who betrayed the information with a thousand knives.

Being a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, Raven has lost the choice and has only one option left: fighting.

Compared to the Orc girl behind him, he chose to rush towards the blond vampire in front.

"Eh? You actually choose me?"

Franka pretended to be surprised when she saw the raven rushing toward her, and then laughed.

"Hehe... Then I'll have some fun with you, big brother~"

As she said this, her body disappeared in an instant, and the raven's attack missed her.

"Here~"

Franka's voice came from behind Raven, and he rushed forward, trying to avoid the blow, but his back was still scratched by sharp claws.

"Can't you dodge such a simple move? Sure enough, people who have lived in the shadows for a long time just can't get used to the broad daylight."

Franka doesn’t know either

Whether Dao was mocking the raven or alluding to herself, she stretched out boredly, looked at the raven in front of her who was scratched by her, and sighed.

"Assassins are all about winning with one strike. Once you fight with someone far below your own level for a long time, even your thinking about fighting will be changed by them. Am I right, Mr. Raven?"

Raven also turned his head at this time, looked at Franka in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Haha, I didn't expect that the famous 'Killing Angel' would actually be such a little kid."

"Whatever you say~ It's not impossible if you want to see me the way I was for the first time, but I'm in a better mood today and am willing to show my true face."

Franka said this and disappeared again.

At this time, Lena also rushed in front of the raven. Compared to Franka's agility, Lena's tricks were much more direct.

She punched Raven directly in the body.

This punch seemed simple, but Raven felt in his heart that he must not accept this punch, otherwise big problems would definitely occur.

It was at this time that Franka's voice came from behind again.

"I'm sorry~ Big brother, sometimes people have to make choices~"

Franka's move blocked the raven's escape route, leaving the raven not knowing how to act for a moment.

Is it the iron fist in front of me or the sharp claws behind me, I can only choose to avoid one.

The iron fist in front of him was dangerous, but Franka behind him also used a killing move. Raven had no choice but to take one of Lena's moves.

Then, Lena punched Raven's fist firmly. The first thing Raven felt was the pain of almost breaking the bones of his hand, and then his whole body flew out like a cannonball, smashing on the wall.

This move was one that even Orson didn't dare to take casually. Raven itself was not good at strength, so he almost used up all his strength to take this move.

At this time, Franka also came to the raven.

"Ah la~ This won't work~ What a bastard, big brother~"

With that said, she stretched out her hand and lifted the raven's chin.

"Let me see, which hand did you throw the dagger to kill Li Te? There is no way, after all, it is the employer's order, I have to carry it out."

Lena also followed Franka at this time.

"Um...Sister Franka, is it enough to teach him a lesson?"

"Lena, don't be so naive. He wants to harm your benefactor's relatives, so let him go like this? Do you think Orson will be happy?"

"Then...how about giving him a happy one..." Lena suggested.

"Well, that's a good idea." Franka nodded, then looked at the raven.

"Did you hear that, Mr. Raven, she is begging you."

Raven glanced at Lena, then at Franka, and smiled disdainfully.

"I should have died once, as you wish."

"Ouch? I didn't expect you to be quite tough."

Franka said, patting Raven's face.

"However, your life is still of some use, so you can't die yet."

Then, she hit the raven on the back of the head with a knife, causing the raven to faint.

"I'll take you away first, little sister." Franka said as she carried the raven, which was much bigger than her.

"When you go back, remember to tell Lite that you don't have to worry about Raven anymore and let her sleep well."

…

Orson received the letter from Franka in the student union office. Looking at the contents of the letter, he nodded with satisfaction.

As a good brother, he just wants his sister to have a good night's sleep. Is there anything wrong with that?

"Alsace, it's time to show your trump card."

Orson looked in the direction of the palace and spoke meaningfully.

…

Three days later, because Alsace had not responded, the coalition troops outside the city began to garrison the city, preparing to launch the final attack on Alsace together with the mercenaries.

Alsace also used these three days to organize and train the forcibly recruited soldiers. This group of citizens was barely trained into recruits who could wield weapons and form a queue.

It had been three full days since Robin was drafted into the army. During these three days, he had met many people who were like him and were recruited as the sole breadwinner of the family.

If they die on the battlefield, right?

It will be a huge blow to the family.

Think about it, if the head of the family falls, it will be no different than the sky falling.

Because Robin was a carpenter, he did a lot of physical work and performed very well during training. He became a mid-level officer in charge of five hundred soldiers.

During a break in training, Robin attracted several like-minded people who were also mid-level sergeants. Together, they had more than 3,000 soldiers on hand.

"Today should be the last training. I heard from the commander that the Duke outside has sent troops in. We will be the first troops to fight with them."

Robin has become the leader of the small group among this group of officers, and he is the first to tell the information he has obtained.

Hearing Robin's words, everyone else looked timid or scared.

"How can we fight with those people? They are regular troops after all. They usually get military pay and receive much more training than us. I think this army under our command can do three to one. The battle loss ratio is considered good.”

One officer spoke directly of frustration.

"Actually, I am more worried that the people under my command will not be controlled and will mutiny." Another officer also expressed his concerns.

"Think about it, we were all forced to come here, and we didn't want to fight. Being an officer might be safer. Are those front-line soldiers willing to die?"

"I know there are a group of prisoners released from prison. They should be on the front line. It is said that if the war is won, they will be pardoned."

"Alas... to put it bluntly, they are just cannon fodder..."

Listening to the officers around him talking, Robin suddenly said:

"Then... everyone, I have an idea here, I don't know if you are willing to listen."

"Listen, of course I will listen, as long as we can save our lives, anything is fine."

"That's right, I have three people to support at home."

Seeing Robin speak, the other officers expressed their willingness to listen.

After all, in their current situation, there is really nothing to say about desperate attempts.

"We have a lot of troops under our command. When the fighting starts, can't we just let the soldiers surrender and let the enemy capture us?"
