Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 390: Assassin in action

Clang clang ——

Under the curtain of night, everything was silent, only the footsteps of patrolling soldiers echoed on the empty walkway of the city wall, oh no, in addition to their neat footsteps, there was also the sound of collisions between armor and shields.

Amidst the footsteps, a slight noise suddenly attracted the attention of the soldiers walking at the end. His brows were slightly frowned, and he walked suspiciously outside the wall where the sound was heard. A question from a comrade-in-arms also came from behind.

"Hey, what are you doing? Still not keeping up?"

"Uh... I heard a sound, but it was the sound of the wild cat." The soldier scratched his head and explained. The talking comrade shrugged and motioned for him to follow and continue. Go ahead.

Upon seeing this, the soldier at the end ignored the moving wild cat and hurriedly pulled his legs to keep up. When they walked away, a dark figure suddenly turned over on the wall that was making a noise, and he watched the surroundings vigilantly and found that there was no After some danger, he leaned against the wall, ran into the tower quickly, and walked down the city wall.

The streets of Isinda City at night were pitch-black, almost invisible. Except for the light from the torches held by the patrol team passing by occasionally, there was only a slight moonlight. The black shadows repeatedly avoided the patrol team's under the cover of darkness. The route, go straight to the palace in the center of the city. The homeless people who are huddled in the alley just feel a dark shadow drifting by before them, so scared to wake up directly from the confusion, thinking that they have seen the legend. The soul of it.

Soon, the black shadow marched outside the castle where the king of Milanlas lived The filth discharged by people and animals flowing out of the castle for a long time can be said to be not so much a moat as a dung river). The smell of this river is full of filth, and it is not something people can swim through. So Sombra—oh no, the Rees Howden Assassin cast his eyes on the stone bridge, which is the only way to connect the inner castle to the outside. If he wants to get in, there is only this one channel.

He is a little embarrassed. Although he is a systematically produced assassin, he is better than the native assassins of this world, and he can also appear in Richard’s study out of thin air with the help of darkness (this is to be determined, because there is no scientific explanation), but this is not It doesn't mean that he can teleport to a heavily guarded castle with the help of darkness, behead King De La Pace and retreat without taking away a piece of color. He is also a human being, and will miss and die like ordinary assassins.

Suddenly, he thought of the large number of patrols that he had come across all the way, he had a plan in his heart, and then retreated to the street, lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to come.

An hour later, in front of the alley where Reese was hiding, he passed a group of heavily armed patrols as usual. He saw the plane deliberately making some movement in the alley, and then hid in the darkness. After a while, the patrol team heard about it. The news came and ran into this alley hurriedly, but they still returned empty-handed, and they could only retreat out of cursing.

When the patrol team exited the alley, the assassin suddenly knocked out the last soldier and dragged him into the darkness. The soldiers who walked in front were not disturbed at all. They still walked out, just for a short time. Within a minute, Reese put on the uniform and armor of the patrol soldier and followed out with a spear. The whole process went smoothly without being noticed at all.

When he walked out of the alley, he found that the soldiers were waiting for him. The leading soldier squinted at him and asked, "Samanta, what are you doing in there, why are you so slow?"

"I'm a bit urinary, so I poured urine in it." Reese deliberately lowered his voice, pretending to have a bad voice, and replied. He had never heard the soldier's voice, so he couldn't use his voice to answer.

Reese was ready to be seen through, but he didn't expect that the soldier waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let's do it, it's really troublesome. After this trip quickly, we have to go to the boss. "

Seeing that he hadn't noticed, Reese couldn't help but sighed in secret, and quickly raised his leg to keep up. The patrol team he was in returned directly to the castle barracks after completing the mission. In fact, the city is divided into two military camps inside and outside. The outer barracks are stationed by troops patrolling the city walls, while the inner barracks are stationed by castle guards and some soldiers patrolling the streets.

Following the patrol team for the final journey, they returned to the castle surrounded by the "dung river". Walking on the stone bridge, Reese could even clearly smell the stench from the "river water" below, and was used to the clean and tidy promise. He from Decheng couldn't imagine how the people here endure all this.

At this time, the leading soldier walking in the front had already started talking with the soldiers guarding the city gate, and saw that the soldier guarding the city gate stretched out his head to look at the soldiers in the patrol team, and then asked the leading soldier: "Now Nothing strange happened tonight."

"No, everything is normal." The team leader said, he yawned, and then said: "Hurry up, I can't wait to get back to the warm bed. This **** ghost weather is really getting colder and colder." ."

"Okay, let's go in." The guard waved his hand and said, and at the same time signaled the soldiers behind him to step aside. Then the leader soldier nodded to him, and led the patrol behind him and walked in. Reese With his head drooping, he tried his best to keep his face from being seen clearly, and naturally followed the soldiers in front of him. No one stopped him. To be precise, these guards did not have the extra energy to look at him, and they also I don't think anyone can get into the castle.

After walking into the castle, Reese looked at everything inside calmly. The scale of the castle is actually not as big as it looks outside. Its main building is only a main castle building, a barracks, a stable and two warehouses. ~lightnovelpub.net~While walking, he observed the security situation inside. There are two to four soldiers guarding the entrance of each main building. If there is no suitable reason to enter the main building of the castle, he again Turning his gaze to the entire building of the main building, he found that there was a warehouse next to the main building, and the top of the warehouse was in front of the window on the second floor. As long as he could climb up successfully, he might be able to enter from the window. .

Thinking of this, he suddenly pretended to have a stomachache, yelled out, and attracted the attention of the soldiers in front of him. Before they asked, he quickly said: "My stomach hurts. Maybe it’s a bad stomach. Let me fix it first."

When the words fell, regardless of their reaction, they ran directly in one direction. When the soldiers saw this, they were also speechless. The leader of the team shrugged helplessly and said, "Leave him alone. If we come back by ourselves, we will go back to the barracks first."

"Okay." Several soldiers promised.

On the other side, Reese, pretending to have a stomachache, walked all the way to a place next to the warehouse where no one noticed. He saw that there was no one around, stepped on the box placed here with a vigorous step, and climbed up to the warehouse that is not too high in a few strokes. At the top, his movements were very light, and there was almost no noise, and naturally he did not cause other people's discovery.
