Lord Chronicle

Chapter 125 Assassination Plot II

Seeing that he had walked across the line of life and death, Sol was already in a cold sweat, but before he had time to rejoice, a wooden plank happened to hit the back of his head.So Sol, who had just escaped from death, let out a scream of "Oh", and fell straight to the ground.

"Lord, are you alright!" With a thunderous roar, Kress, who was holding an iron mound, rushed in first. Needless to say, the broken door just now was his masterpiece.

Immediately after Jessica and a few guards rushed in. They lived on this floor, and apparently rushed over immediately after hearing the movement in the room.

They were all taken aback when they saw the chaos in the house. "My lord, how are you?" Seeing Saul lying motionless on the ground, Kress hurriedly picked him up.

When he found that Sol's eyes were closed, he was unconscious, and there was a large pool of blood in his heart, he immediately changed his face: "Could it be that the lord has already..."

For a moment, all the Lord Lord's past flashed through his mind like movie clips, and Kress was deeply saddened by it for a moment, and he couldn't help but hugged Sol's "corpse" tightly and tried his best to hoop: " Your lord, you died so badly!"

"What, Saul..." Hearing Kress's words, Jessica's face instantly turned extremely pale.

"Captain, my lord, he...has he really?" A group of guards said in disbelief.

Kress raised his head with tears in his eyes: "When I arrived, the lord had already...he died of being stabbed in the heart, maybe he died at that time. Unexpectedly, I heard an abnormal noise in your room, Hurry up right away, but it's still a step too late!"

The more he talked, the more sad he became, he couldn't help hugging Sol's "corpse" and hugged him fiercely: "My lord, I'm sorry for you!"

However, no one noticed that Sol, who was held in his arms by Kress with his head and face, was shaking desperately with a hand hanging at his feet, as if he was suffering from some kind of terrible pain. It's a hard job, and I'm eager to get rid of it.

"Kress, let me take a last look at the lord." At this moment, Jessica came over wiping her tears.

Kress nodded tragically, and carefully let go of his arms.Unexpectedly, before everyone could pay their respects to the lord's remains, they heard a loud gasp, and Sol, who was supposed to be dead, sat up abruptly.

"My lord, you, you are not dead?" Kress immediately widened his eyes.

"Damn you, it's true that I was almost suffocated by you." Sol took a few deep breaths, and a thump hit him on the head.

"But I just came in and saw you lying on the ground..." Kress said a little aggrieved.

"It's not because you entered the door so violently that you almost beat me to death." Sol touched the back of his head.

"Hey, the situation is urgent, so..." Kress scratched his head embarrassingly.

"Ah, what happened to your chest?" Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Jessica noticed the blood on Sol's chest again.

It was only then that everyone noticed the shocking pool of blood on Sol's chest, and several guards hurriedly took out the wound medicine and wrapped the wound for him.

"How did you get here?" Saul asked Jessica.

Seeing that he was fine, Jessica also regained her composure: "It was Kress who heard the sound of fighting coming from your room. When we were about to see what happened, we found that the two guards guarding the door had been killed." Then he hurriedly followed the method left by the magician to remove the barrier, and rushed in through the door."

The secret path turned out to be like this, it seems that as long as Kress is one step late, maybe he will really become a corpse now.At this time Sol looked towards the attacker, only to find that the man had retreated to the center of the room at some point, Xiaomei did not chase after him without his order, only Simba was annoyed that he had cut him with a knife, and chased after him The threatening tweets continued.

At this time, the battle on Chip's side was coming to an end.Although these two men were very strong, they were two against three after all. In addition, one of them lost his weapon and was severely whipped by Xiaomei.

The situation was clear at this time, Sol was protected by Kress and a group of defenders, and the gate was also sealed by the way.Chip and two Yeying team members formed a pincer attack on one side, and there were two monsters staring at the side. The three of them had no chance of succeeding.

The two sides soon separated, forming a confrontational situation.

"How did you find out?" After a while, the man in the lead said to Chip.

After a moment of silence, Chip replied: "The smell of blood, you killed the attendant in the room below, and I realized something was wrong only after I smelled the smell of blood."

The man laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that I didn't want to make mistakes in killing them, but I didn't expect that this was the biggest loophole." If it wasn't because Chip asked that the smell of blood came in time, they might have succeeded, From this point of view, his move was indeed very wrong.

As he said that, he stared at Chip sharply: "From the perspective of your skills, you should also be from Yeying. Why did you help the enemy?"

Chip shook his head: "I don't want to explain, anyway, the lord is the object of our allegiance."

The man nodded slowly: "I understand. I didn't expect him to be protected by you. It was indeed my mistake."

Qi Pu suddenly said in a deep voice: "Who sent you here?"

The man sneered, "Do you think I'll tell you?"

Chip was silent for a while: "I know it even if you don't tell me. Currently in Yakos City, the only one who can mobilize you is..."

"Shut up! Finish the mission and kill him!" The man interrupted Chip with a loud shout, and several people rushed towards Saul again.

However, this time Kip had been prepared for a long time, and with the blocking of monsters and defenders, the three men couldn't get close to Sol at all, and everyone was soon killed under the siege.

However, no one noticed during the fierce fight that the three of them were moving towards the hole on the floor little by little, while the two Yeying players who had blocked there before were getting farther and farther away from the hole because they participated in the siege.

Just when Chip suddenly realized that something was wrong, the most injured of the three men rushed forward, desperately blocking Chip and the others.Under his cover, the other two men turned back and rushed towards the cave.

Seeing that they were about to take the opportunity to escape, something suddenly fell from the sky and sealed the entrance of the cave, but it was Simba.It turned out that Simba was annoyed that the other party hurt his paw, and had been staring at the man who cut him all the time. Seeing that he was about to run away, he rushed towards him without thinking, but happened to block their way.

The two men were indeed a little unlucky to lose their only chance to escape because of a grievous griffin.

There was a griffin blocking the way, and the two men had no choice but to give up and run away.But at this time, the man who was left behind couldn't block the attack of the crowd at all, and was finally hugged by Xiaomei on the neck and took a bite, and then fell to the ground twitching with a dark complexion, and died immediately.

At this time, following the sound of chaotic footsteps, Nick came with a large number of guards after hearing the news. When he saw the messy scene in the room and Sol with his chest injured, he was shocked and angry.As the captain of the envoy's guard, he didn't even notice the sneaking enemy, and the Marquis almost died. This is nothing less than a great dereliction of duty.

"Who are you? Put down your weapons and surrender!" He shouted at the two men.

The arrival of Nick and others completely cut off the hope of the two men. They looked at each other and suddenly took out a fiery red magic core from their bodies without hesitation.Chip was shocked when he saw it: "Be careful, step back quickly."

Almost at the same time, the two men threw the magic core to the ground, and instantly a flame rose up to the ceiling of the room, enveloping the figures of the three men.

The two of them would be so stubborn, they failed in their mission and had no hope of escape, they did not hesitate to kill and destroy their bodies and did not surrender as prisoners.

"Hurry up, put out the fire quickly." Nick hurriedly ordered his men to put out the fire, but it was still a step too late.

When the flames were finally extinguished, in addition to burning nearly half of the furniture in the room and leaving a huge scorched mark on the ceiling, the three men were left with only a pile of fly ash.

This time, besides lamenting the decisiveness of the enemy, Nick had nothing to do. The other party destroyed their bodies and wiped out their traces without leaving any evidence. Naturally, it was difficult to verify their origins.

************************************************** ***************************
"Master Sol, are you alright?" Nick came to Sol after ordering his men to deal with the aftermath.

After applying the wound medicine, Sol felt much better. He waved his hand: "I'm fine."

Nick blamed himself deeply: "I didn't even know there was an enemy sneaking in, and I almost let you... This is my serious dereliction of duty, please punish me."

That being said, Sol naturally wouldn't punish him, and he couldn't blame his guards for what happened tonight.Sol could already see at this moment that these three men had considerable strength, were decisive in their actions, ruthless in strikes, and had extremely strong psychological qualities, all of which made him feel familiar.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Chip, and it happened that the latter also looked at him, and gave him a wink that he had something to say.Now Sol is more sure that the other party is indeed related to Ye Ying.

Sol waved his hand: "Forget it, you can't blame you for this. These people are obviously professional killers, and they can sneak in through the floors. No one could have expected such a thing."

"But as the captain of the escort, I put you in such a dangerous situation and couldn't come to protect you in time. It's really..." Nick wanted to take the blame for his serious personality.

Saul was dizzy for a while, it's not like that if he likes to take the blame, right?At this moment, he was eager to send Nick and them away so that he could ask Chip about the origin of those people.

In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "I'll talk about the matter of accountability later, and do what's in front of me first. It's still not sure if these killers have any accomplices, so you immediately lead someone to search the hotel and nearby places carefully, and notify Ya The city defense team of Kos, come see me after you have settled everything."

Nick is not a person who does not discriminate, he nodded when he heard the words: "I understand, please rest assured, I will never let any suspicious person step into the hotel again."

After he left, the owner of the "Moon Goddess" inn also came to inquire. Dinar's envoy was assassinated in his inn, which was a great event.The boss was terrified and kept apologizing to Saul, so that Saul took a lot of effort and promised not to hold him accountable before sending him away.

After finally calming down, Sol ordered the two guards to watch outside and keep people away for the time being. Then he said to Chip: "Chip, do you know the origin of those people?"

Chip nodded: "I'm not mistaken, they are also members of the Yeying Troop, and they are the Shadow Troops in charge of assassination in Yeying. These people are not good at collecting intelligence, but their assassination skills are extremely good. In fact, if it weren't for the bloody smell, I wouldn't be able to detect their sneaking in."

Thinking of the critical situation just now, everyone was terrified. Even Chip, the top expert in Yeying, didn't notice the infiltration of these people, which showed how terrifying they were.To be able to face these three "death gods" alone in a deep sleep and survive, Sol really does not know what kind of luck he has.

Sure enough, only the Yeying troops could train such a terrible killer.Jessica asked: "Who on earth will send them to kill the lord?"

Chip said in a deep voice, "Miss Jessica hasn't figured out who it is yet?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted at the same time.Sol gritted his teeth: "Wow, it really is that bastard Felino!"

"It seems that Lord Lord's actions in the past few days have put a lot of pressure on him, so he resorted to this method. But I have to say, this trick is indeed very effective, and it is also very unexpected. I am afraid no one will think of Tangtang Lu. Lin's envoys will use assassination methods. We were indeed too negligent in guarding against it before, and this time it almost caused a catastrophe."

Jessica's words made everyone nod. Sol has never been assassinated, so they have never protected against this.Just look at Sol's rest at night, only two ordinary soldiers are guarding outside, and you can see how negligent their defense is.Fortunately, this time Qipu was shocked and did not let the opponent succeed.

"After tonight, we must immediately formulate an effective protection strategy, and we must never let this happen again." Jessica said to Kress seriously.

Kress, as the captain of the garrison, cannot escape the blame for this kind of thing.Hearing this, he nodded fiercely: "Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will never leave my lord one step behind."

"Now that we know who instigated it, what should we do? Don't we just let it go?" Kress said unwillingly. His lord was almost assassinated. Of course, he couldn't swallow this breath.

"But those three killers have been destroyed, and we can't find any evidence against him." Jessica frowned.

But Saul snorted and said, "Testimony? It's too much trouble, and it's useless. Marconi didn't dare to offend Lulin's special envoy, and even if he pleaded guilty, we can't do anything to him. But since the three The killer is dead, and now Felino must be lacking protection, so we might as well deal with him in the same way as he did."

"A person's way is a person's body?" Jessica murmured this sentence twice, and asked strangely: "What do you mean by that?"

In terms of the cultural differences between the two worlds, this ancient sentence is indeed a bit esoteric.Saul said straightly: "It's very simple, that is, we also sent people to kill him."

"Assassination?" Jessica and the others couldn't help but look at each other: "Is it necessary to do this?"

Saul said confidently: "Why not, let him kill me, don't let me kill him? Besides, Felino is a difficult guy, if he can take the opportunity to kill him, this trouble will be solved once and for all. These three killers are dead, the guards around him must have become very weak, this is a good opportunity to strike."

Jessica is not a rigid person, and Felino's behavior has deeply angered her.After quickly thinking about the pros and cons of doing so, she nodded and said, "It's indeed a good idea."

Seeing her promise, Saul said to Kip, "It's not too late, can it be done?"

One of the specialties of the Night Shadow Troops is assassination, which is naturally not a problem for Chip.He nodded: "Since it is your order..."

Felino, Felino, since you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unrighteous, Sol sneered secretly in his heart.Since capturing Chip and the others, Sol has never thought of using them to carry out the assassination mission, but since Felino was the first to attack tonight, there would be no psychological barriers for him to fight back.

He signaled his two subordinates to follow, and Chip was about to leave when he saw Nick running over in a hurry: "My lord, the army of the Yakos city defense team has arrived."

"So fast?" Saul looked at Jessica in surprise.Although he ordered Nick to notify the other party, this speed is too fast, right?

Nick said: "Yes, the people I sent had just arrived halfway, when they encountered the army of the city defense team rushing here, and now their captain is planning to come to see you."

Did the other party know that he would be assassinated?Saul was getting more and more confused.After thinking for a while, he said to Nick: "Let him come up." At the same time, he quietly signaled Chip to leave in a hurry.

Not long after, a man wearing Bamuk-style armor hurried up. When he saw the blood-stained bandage on Sol's chest, he immediately knelt down in panic: "I am Rui, the deputy captain of the Yakos City Defense Team. Well, it is my dereliction of duty to let the envoy encounter such an accident, but luckily you are fine."

Sol was concerned about another matter. He signaled Ryan to stand up: "My people haven't notified you, why did your city defense team come here? Did you know in advance that I would be attacked?"

Ryan was taken aback: "Of course not. It all depends on Mr. Ferino's warning."

"Felino?" Saul was puzzled, what's the matter with this guy?
Ryan explained: "Not long ago, Mr. Ferino was also attacked by a group of unidentified thugs..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sol: "What did you say? Felino was also attacked?"

Ryan nodded: "Yes, fortunately Lord Felino did not have an accident. When the city defense team rushed to hear the news, Mr. Felino warned that these people might be targeting the envoys of Dinar and Lulin , in order to destroy the relationship between our Bamuk and the two countries, and take the opportunity to create chaos, so you may also be in danger."

"The captain didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately sent me to lead the team. I didn't know that you were also attacked, but fortunately nothing serious happened." Speaking of this, he patted his chest happily.

Sol was completely confused, what's going on?Could it be that the people tonight were not sent by Felino, but by a group of so-called "thugs"?
Chip and the others were also full of confusion, unable to understand the mystery inside.Only Jessica frowned, thinking hard about something.

Seeing that Sol didn't speak, Ryan thought he was blaming himself for negligence, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, our city defense team has controlled the surrounding area of ​​the hotel, and the magician has also set up an enchantment, so there will be no more threats from anyone." To your safety. Hmph, those hateful thugs, I will definitely find them."

Sol nodded: "Thank you, I'll leave everything to you. My wound hurts a little, I want to rest for a while..."

Ryan said knowingly: "Then please rest at ease, we will report this matter to the king as soon as possible, and try our best to find the murderer and give you an explanation."

Saul could only smile wryly at this, the murderer?I don't even know where the ashes have gone, so how can I find them?
After Ryan left, Nick also stood up and said, "I'll go and arrange it too." As the captain of the mission's guard, it was naturally impossible for him to hand over all the guarding responsibilities to outsiders.

After the two left, Sol looked at everyone: "Does anyone know what's going on?"

Kress scratched his head: "It seems that we have wrongly blamed Felino, and someone else must have done it."

Chip shook his head: "They must be the Shadow Troops. Could it be that there are other Lulins in Yakos? Then why did they even attack Ferino?"

Sol said distressedly: "Damn, what is going on? Who else will fight against both of us at the same time?"

"No, it's true that the person who ordered it was Felino." At this moment, Jessica said suddenly.

Saul looked at her strangely: "But even he was attacked."

Jessica shook her head: "That's just a trick he played. In fact, he was the only one behind the scenes from the beginning to the end."

"Miss Jessica, can you explain a little more clearly?" Kress asked in confusion.

Jessica nodded: "I just figured it out, this person is indeed very cunning. In fact, when he sent an assassin to assassinate the lord, he was prepared with both hands. I don't know what method he used, maybe in those days A killer has some kind of magic device for long-distance sensing, in short, when those killers fail, he already knows."

After a pause, and waiting for everyone to digest for a while, she continued: "So he immediately activated the backup plan and reported to the Yakos city defense team that he had been attacked. Because of his special status, the city defense team naturally attached great importance to him, and he said My own 'guess', so another city defense team came to us immediately."

Kress was still puzzled: "What's the use of doing this?"

Jessica smiled slightly: "It's very useful. First of all, he cleared up his suspicions very simply. In addition, those killers were destroyed. After the assassination failed, he used this small method to perfectly protect himself."

Sol gradually understood, and he slapped the table hard: "Sure enough, this guy is playing tricks. He probably guessed that I would send someone to assassinate him in reverse, and without those killers, he was already powerless to protect himself, so he simply Let’s borrow the strength of the Yakos city defense team. Now the city defense team is fully dispatched, and this place is like an iron barrel around his residence, even if Chip goes again, there is no way to move him.”

After the two said this, everyone understood, and immediately clicked their tongues at Felino's mind.This guy can't do one plan, and immediately follows another plan. Even if you know that he is playing tricks, you can't hurt him at all.

"It's a pity, it's still a step too late. It would be great if we could take this opportunity to kill him." After seeing Felino's terrifying resourcefulness, Thor regretted the missed opportunity even more.

But at the same time, he also felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he brought Jessica with him this time. The events of these days have proved that only this smart girl can compete with Ferino.Whether it was the tit-for-tat confrontation in front of Marconi, or seeing through his tricks at a glance tonight, Jessica has proved by facts that she is a talented staff member who is not inferior to Ferino.

"If so, what do we do?" Kress asked.

Sol stretched his waist long: "What else can I do? After tossing around for most of the night, I'm almost sleepy. Let's get a good sleep first and then think about other things."

After saying that, ignoring everyone's surprised eyes, Shi Shiran walked into another room prepared for him, and fell asleep soundly.

Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded, Jessica said: "Your lord is right, there is really nothing you can do now, you have been busy in the middle of the night, everyone go back and rest. Kress, you will watch the night for the lord tonight."

Kress nodded, and stood guarding the door of Sol's room with the iron mound in his arms, assuming that no one would get close to him.The others also dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
