Chapter 60: Infiltration (Please Collect and Recommend)
King of assassins, Mai Rui, this name is well-known in all Celtic countries. → Logically speaking, if a killer becomes famous, he is basically not far from death. But Mai Rui is an exception. This black brother is not only still alive, but also getting younger and younger.
There is only one reason for this, that is, this person is really very strong. The title of King of assassins has never been said by himself, but given to him by others. There is a saying that goes, there are wrong names, but there are never wrong nicknames.
Brother He has been able to walk around the world for so many years and is still alive and kicking, relying on his superb concealment skills! Let's put it this way, as long as it's at night, as long as he doesn't open his mouth to show his big white teeth, others will want to see him even if they stand in front of him!
Being a killer, being able to fight is never the most important thing. After all, no matter how good you are at fighting, if you are surrounded by people, you can only be hacked to death, but Mai Rui is different. As long as it's at night, no one can find him. So over the years, his reputation has been growing, but he lives a very comfortable life.
It is also because of this that Mai Rui dared to take this business.
You know, Kai has never been an unknown person. As early as ten years ago, Kai became a champion knight at the age of eighteen. At that time, almost everyone thought that this kid would definitely do something big in the future. When Kai came back after traveling around the world for ten years, his reputation became even louder. During this period when Kai came back, many knights challenged Kai, hoping to become famous overnight with Kai's name.
As a result, none of these challengers could last more than three minutes in Kai's hands. It is also because of this that Kai's reputation as the first knight of the countries has become more and more famous recently.
For business dealing with such a ruthless character, ordinary killers would not take it at all. Because killing people is for money, who would go to die?
What's more, Kai is a member of the royal family of Camelot. The business of assassins is shady anyway, so they are more careful when dealing with people of high status like the royal family, because once something happens, the entire Celtic kingdom will kill them all. No kingdom can tolerate an assassin who kills the royal family. This is a provocation to the entire ruling class.
Only the king of assassins, Merri, has the courage to do this, because Merri is confident in himself! He feels that he can kill Kai and can deal with the consequences!
It is precisely because of this crazy self-confidence that Merri dares to accept the employment of King Odin. Odin's commission is absolutely crazy. He not only wants to kill Kai, but also wants to kill King Uther's only son Arthur. This is to make the Camelot royal family extinct! Arthur is the first heir to Camelot. Although Camelot has never clearly stated who is the second heir, Kai is the only choice in terms of ability and character. If Arthur really has problems, then Kai is very likely to become the heir. →
Actually, many people know this, but King Odin intends to catch both heirs in one fell swoop! In this way, there will be no heir in the Camelot royal family who can convince the public, and then the whole Camelot will fall into turmoil.
This move can definitely be said to be cruel and ruthless, and it is also very taboo, and it is also an act that the major royal families strongly combat and despise. We are all kings, who would like to be killed for no reason and have no descendants?
So this commission was destined to be extraordinary from the beginning. Once successful, it will definitely cause shocks in various countries, and he, Mai Rui, will also be surrounded by various countries. If he didn't have some confidence, Mai Rui really wouldn't dare to take this business.
…
In this war, Kai has been active at the forefront, so his command post was also set up in the border castle Katrinburg. This castle was originally a fortress built because of the war between Camelot and the Kingdom of Sendred. However, after King Uther ascended the throne, he was committed to maintaining peace with the Kingdom of Sendred. After years of efforts, Camelot and the Kingdom of Sendred finally reached a peace agreement. In this way, this fortress originally used for war was abandoned and became a small border town.
But I didn't expect that today, due to Arthur's impulse, this small border town that had originally accepted a peaceful life became a war fortress again.
It was also because this castle was used for war from the beginning, so the entire fortress was built to be extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, Kai brought his army to station, which made this small fortress even more heavily defended. There were sentries almost every few steps, and the patrolling soldiers were almost non-stop day and night. In addition, there were various secret sentries. It was absolutely not an exaggeration to say that it was as solid as a rock.
However, this was nothing in the eyes of the assassin king, Merri. He is a killer, and his livelihood is to sneak into assassinations. Ordinary guards are nothing to him.
He hid under the city wall, waiting for the opportunity for the guards on the city wall to change shifts. At the same time, he was memorizing the frequency of the mobile sentries on the city wall. He needed to start action when everyone was slack.
He was like a stone that could not breathe, squatting at the bottom of the city wall without moving. Even if the soldiers above his head kept patrolling back and forth, no one found him.
At three or four in the morning, Mai Rui suddenly opened his eyes.
The time has come!
Mai Rui, who was originally hidden in the shadow of the city wall, suddenly jumped onto the city wall. Yes, he jumped up. He stepped on the city wall for a few steps, and relying on the friction between his shoes and the city wall, he jumped to more than four meters high. Originally, when he got here, most people would fall down because of lack of back force, but Mai Rui clung to the city wall with his bare hands! Just like a gecko.
His fingers were tightly clasped in the narrow gaps between the stones of the city wall. With just this little bit of support, Mai Rui quickly climbed up the city wall as if walking on flat ground.
At this time, it was time to change shifts on the city wall. This was originally the darkest time of the night, and people were at their worst. The soldiers who were on night watch had long been sleepy. In addition, it was time to change shifts, and their attention had long been focused on the warm tents, and they had no intention of paying attention to the surrounding movements.
It was also taking this opportunity that Mai Rui passed through the city wall silently and quickly. Not only was his speed fast, but there was no sound of footsteps. Those soldiers who were not focused enough could not have noticed that someone had just run past them.
After entering the city, Mai Rui quickly moved towards Kai's location according to the information given by King Odin.
Although he encountered several patrolling soldiers during the period, Mai Rui relied on his amazing concealment skills to avoid danger. Soon, Mai Rui came to the top floor of the castle, Kai's temporary lounge!
