Chapter 443 Prelude to Tranquility
There is a huge barracks dozens of miles away from the imperial capital. This barracks was jointly established by the Swordsman Guild and the Magician Guild, and is also a gathering place for all kinds of strong people. At this time, it was very lively, and many guild forces from all over the world hurriedly stationed here.
Outside the barracks, there were two rows of swordsmen, some of whom chatted in their spare time. After all, they are not a regular army, and it is difficult to talk about discipline.
The two swordsmen standing together at the end whispered about something when no one noticed them.
The swordsman said in a low voice, "I don't think we humans can be defeated by those demons, let alone a small wizard."
Swordsman B also responded and nodded, "Well, I also think so. Since the breakthrough of our strength, the great magic mentor of the whole empire, the Aoyi swordsman, has sprung up like a rain. It can be said that the strong man is like a forest!" Speaking of this, the swordsman Yi said with regret, "The army of the empire is so cowardly that he actually listened to the words of Duke Ziluo. What does a child know? As a cause, our whole empire fell into suffering. If you want me to say, we should destroy these hateful enemies, instead of saying that we should preserve our strength and rise again.
At this time, a carriage came from afar. It stopped outside the tent and was inspected by the magician. The two talking swordsmen immediately closed their mouths and looked up. But I saw five people covered with masks and dressed in black in the carriage.
"It's from the Killers Guild." Swordsman Jiadao.
Swordsman B was a little stunned and said, "I didn't expect them to come too? Probably for the reward, right?
When the swordsman Jia heard this, he said contemptuously, "Well, these despicable killers will kill themselves if they are unrighteous. I think even if they succeed in eliminating the mysterious man this time, it is hard to say the safety of them."
Swordsman B nodded with a similar feeling and said, "That's right. There are many enemies here who are them. I didn't expect that they dared to come. This killer guild is really not simple!"
"Who said no?" At this point, the swordsman Jia also has to admire the boldness of this killer guild. However, at this time, there are contradictions between many guilds and guilds, and between organizations, not only their killer guilds, but also more people also have enemies here. But this time, everyone is here for justice and the world, so all private hatred can only wait until the enemy is eliminated.
When the swordsman B saw the five assassins looking at them, he was suddenly a little embarrassed. From their eyes, he didn't know how many targets they had killed. Swordsman B quickly reminded, "Stop it, they're coming."
The two swordsmen immediately stopped talking and stood honestly in their posts, but the content of their conversation had just been heard by the five assassins. With the ability of assassins, it is difficult to whisper in front of them.
The blood flame glared at the two swordsmen and scared them. Bashir stopped the blood flame and said lightly, "Let's go. This time our task is very difficult, and we must plan it well."
"Yes, president."
After all, these ace killers are ace killers. They are happy and soon calm down. The behavior of the blood flame just now was just a deliberate warning to the other party, so as not to be flattered by them. The five people walked into the barracks, and soon someone received them and arranged a temporary foothold for them.
In a huge white tent, Bashir was talking about something in the tent with his four ace killers. At this time, a swordsman called and said, "Is President Bashir here?"
Bashir took a look at everyone and said, "I'll go out for a while."
"Hmm."
"President, be careful. When I came in, I found that there were many people here who looked at us unkindly." Black Rose reminded.
Bashir sighed, "I know. You should also be careful."
"I understand, President." Blood Flame replied.
Bashir nodded and lifted the curtain of the tent and went out. I don't know what he was talking to the swordsman. After a while, he returned, but he didn't come in. He just stood outside and said, "The alliance is going to have a meeting. I'll go. You wait for me here."
The four ace killers stood up together and said, "Yes, president."
Bashir nodded, loosened the curtain and left. He didn't come back until a few hours later, and at this time, it was just time to eat.
"President, what's going on?"
Bashir looked at everyone and said, "They are going to attack tonight."
"Is it so urgent?" The viper was speechless.
Black Rose said, "President, it's so urgent that I'm afraid that people from all sides may not be ready."
Bashir sighed, "There's nothing we can do! The alliance leader said that the soldiers are fast, and the enemy may not think that we will attack so soon, so the preparation will be insufficient. This is our best time.
Red Dragon muttered, "This is obviously impossible. You said that this barracks has been built for several days, and this demon army has never been able to shrink. What I'm afraid of is that if this is a trap, won't it be able to catch all of us?
Xue Yan said, "Yes, I think the red dragon is right."
"Why, president, can I quietly inquire about the news?" The black rose said.
Bashir said with a wry smile, "Look outside the door."
Black Rose opened the curtain suspiciously. I don't know when two swordsmen appeared. They saw Black Rose and smiled kindly.
Black Rose put down the curtain, came back with a frown, and said depressedly, "It seems that they are watching us."
"What do these people want to do?" The poisonous snake was a little unhappy. He didn't expect to come here. Instead, he had to be monitored and constrained their freedom.
"The alliance leader said that it is for everyone's safety and for all departments to be ready in time. When the time comes, the swordsman outside the door will remind us that it's time to go."
"Hmm." Blood Flame snorted coldly, "These people are really." Then he sat back in his seat indignantly. At this time, several maids came outside. They said outside the door with food, "President Bashir, we have prepared your food. May I come in, please?"
As soon as Bashir heard this, he looked at everyone and said, "Come in."
"Yes!"
Several maids walked into the big tent in turn, put prepared lunches for each seat, and then said, "Please take your time."
"Hmm." Bashir nodded. The maids bent over and saluted and withdrew.
After they left, the viper took out the silver needle and began to test whether there was anything wrong with the food. Seeing the poisonous snake doing this, the others also saw that the people outside treated them like this. It's hard to guarantee that these foods have been drugged.
If this is the case, I can't imagine it.
"No poison." After the poisonous snake tried all the food, it put away the silver needle and said, "President, it seems that they won't do anything to us, will they?"
Bashir couldn't guarantee it, so he said, "It's hard to say."
In fact, Bashir vaguely felt that this alliance was not as simple as it seemed, and even felt that there was some conspiracy in it. But he didn't dare to think about it, because he knew how terrible such a serious consequence was.
"Let's eat something."
Maybe only eating can calm Bashir's increasingly restless heart.
-now-
"That..." Huck suddenly interrupted the female assassin's memory and asked, "Aren't you angry that you are trapped in it? Why do you have to put up with it? If you want to be my old pig, just kill them, the two bastards, don't look at who I am, and dare to lock me up.
Ziluo glanced at Hauke and said, "You think everyone is like you!"
The female assassin said with a wry smile, "Actually, there is nothing we can do."
-Memories-
At noon, Bashir was called out again and came back very late. And it looks a little hasty. He said to everyone, "In an hour, they will attack!"
"Huh? Come on, so fast?"
Bashir said, "Several big guilds have agreed. How can other small guilds object, let alone us." Bashir was actually very opposed to attacking so quickly, so even he complained.
But here, everyone must obey the leader of the alliance leader, not to mention the consent of several other major guilds. Although the killer guild is also a big guild, they obviously didn't pay attention to them, not to mention that this time, only a few of them came.
In fact, during the meeting, Bashir faced the ridicule of many people, but he still resisted.
"But this is a little unreliable." Honglong is very doubtful whether it can succeed this time. If it is at night, it is really good to say. After all, at night, everyone needs to rest, which is also the weakest time.
But now that they are so impatient to attack, people here doubt whether they can succeed.
Bashir said coldly, "No matter what, they have paid for it, so don't worry so much. Our task is still to deal with mysterious people."
"Oh, I hope they can hit him, otherwise we won't use the power of force."
"No." Bashir said, "They will contain the enemy's attention, but killing the mysterious man is our business. That is to say, the result of our mission this time may be a failure. Even if we don't fail, we will die."
"Nine Deaths? Humph." Honglong snorted softly, "I'm afraid there is really no return."
"Do you regret it?" Bashir looked at the people sitting and said.
Honglong said coldly, "If you regret it, you won't come with the president."
"I don't regret it either." Blood Flame picked up the glass and drank the wine. Originally, the assassin was absolutely water-free before carrying out the mission, so as to prevent mistakes in the task due to physical problems. But the blood flame at this time needs to be shocked with wine.
Black Rose and the poisonous snake also nodded. Black Rose said to Bashir, "Never of us regret this matter, and we can never regret it. We are all assassins, and we don't regret the words. What we want is life and death, either life or death, that's that simple."
Black Rose has been an orphan since she was a child and was taken in by Bashir. Although she is not Bashir's biological daughter, Bashir treats her well.
So Black Rose has always held the idea of repaying kindness, staying by Bashir's side and never giving up.
"Okay, this time, even if the mission fails, with subordinates like you, I, Bashir, will die without regret." Bashir said.
At the same time, Bashir said to Black Rose, "Black Rose, go and ask for more wine from them!"
"Ah?" Black Rose said, "But..."
Bashir waved his hand and urged, "Go quickly."
"Yes, president." Although Black Rose knew that drinking before the mission was against the assassin's creed, the blood flame also drank it just now, and Bashir didn't say anything, so she had to go out and call wine.
