Chapter 179 Assassination
On February 15, the second day of the Gregorian calendar, Arcado went to inspect the dock in Newport according to the scheduled itinerary. There were only three attendants, a driver, a Dick and an adjutant in the car.
After the successful completion of the inspection, when the car was about to drive back to the fortress of the Holy Sword, a huge carriage with four horses came oncoming, but there seemed to be no tendency to avoid or slow down.
Acardo's driver looked bad and immediately filled the steering wheel. The car immediately changed its direction and rushed to the roadside shop.
The out-of-control carriage continued to rush over and hit the rear of the Arcado car. The people in the car only felt violent shaking. The whole car fell in front of the door of the store, and inertia made the reversed car still crash into the door of the store.
Acardo leaned against the left seat in the back row. The impact just now did not hit him, but the strong impact deformed the door, and the broken shop face also fell down. Unfortunately, a piece of wood hit Arcado's right hand, and blood had flowed out of the cuffs.
Acardo's adjutant's face was full of blood and unconscious. Arcado had to drill into the gap beside the adjutant and climbed to confirm his injury. It seemed that his head was also injured, and his right eye was blocked by the blood left behind. The violent collision just now made Arcado look at the surrounding scenery a little blurry.
shook his head and adjusted his state. As soon as Akado was about to get out of the overturned car, he was pressed back by a big hand. Akado then saw Dick's cold face, and a pair of eagle eyes were staring at the direction of the carriage.
Dick sat in the co-pilot and had his own judgment on the trajectory of the carriage. He had fully confirmed that the carriage was not the cause of the accident, but was intentional.
At this time, he had jumped out of the broken car, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and pressed Arcado back into the car to ensure the safety of Arcado before killing the assassin.
Acardo certainly knows Dick's thoughts, but he is not sure how many assassins there are and the scale this time, so he wants to go out and help Dick.
7 assassins came up from around, and the sword in their hands reflected a strange green light, which seemed to be quenched with terrible poison.
Dick was also in the car just now, and the power of the huge collision also made him dizzy. Although his superb martial arts did not look so embarrassed now, he could only exert 70% of his strength for a while.
The assassin was obviously ready. Several people rushed up to besiege Dick. Three of the assassins knew at a glance that they often cooperated. One attacked Dick's way, one assaulted Dick's way down, and one shot cold arrows from time to time, forcing Dick to take five steps back.
Acardo, who was in the deformed car body, finally touched his long sword, pulled out the sword and held it in his hand, confirmed with the afterglow that there were not many people on the opposite side, and did not prepare bows and arrows.
Originally, they were with bows and arrows, but the last few people combined and felt that the bow and arrow raid was not safe. In case of failure, Arcado must be prepared, so this attack abandoned bows and arrows and all used quenched swords.
7 killers were originally divided into three people to deal with Dick, and the remaining four went straight to Arcado, but at the moment of lightning, Dick's long sword gently pierced the throat of one of the three people who attacked him.
"Lao San!" An assassin who cooperated tacitly with this man wailed and rushed forward with his sword, with a great tendency to revenge.
Dick took two steps back and avoided his sharpness. He suddenly rushed forward and blocked the other party's long sword with a long sword grid. His left eagle clawsped and clasped the opponent's throat. With a sudden force, the man fell down with a click and there was no sound.
These killers are very well trained. Seeing that the two people on their side died in a row, the three of them waved their swords to make up for it and cooperated with the only one left over there to pester Dick. The biggest killer rushed straight to the reverse car. He wanted to make sure that Arcado would die.
The driver in the cab was not in a coma at this time, and he was waiting for the arrival of the assassin. Just as the assassin approached, he jumped out of the car door and rushed to the tall assassin with his bare hands.
Acardo pushed away the bloody adjutant with his left hand, jumped out of the car, holding a long sword in his left hand, and gasped loudly. Now his right hand is very painful, which makes him sweat a lot.
Watching the driver rush up, Akado was anxious and rushed up with his sword. He knew that if he didn't show up, the driver would die.
However, Arcado obviously underestimated the assassin's ability. The terrible tall assassin just stabbed his sword, and the driver screamed and fell into the pool of blood.
Arcado held a sword in his left hand, looked at the masked assassin, and said coldly, "Come on, I'm here. I want to kill me to see if you have this ability!"
The tall assassin didn't talk nonsense and came forward with his sword. Because at this time, Dick had killed another assassin in the shadow of the sword, and it seemed that there was not much time to hold him back.
Acardo also knew that the other party did not want to delay. He wanted to retreat and delay for some time so that Dick could come over to support him, but the tall assassin's sword had been stabbed to his chest, and Arcado had to wave his sword to fight.
Blocking the tall assassin's sword, Arcado suddenly rushed forward. The long sword in his hand stabbed the high assassin's left shoulder like lightning. The tall assassin's sword picked up and blocked Akado's sword. Take a step forward into Arcado's chest and cut Arcado's chest with a backhand sword.
Acardo hurriedly took the sword and narrowly dodging the sword. The injured right hand shook it, and the blood flowed out of the face of the high killer, covering the eyes of the high killer.
After the sneak attack, Arcado kicked off the long sword in the hand of the high killer and a sword with a backhand. As a result, the fierce high killer picked up the long sword lost by the tall killer from the ground and rushed to support Dick not far away.
After all, Dick's martial arts skills are strong. At this moment, he has killed a killer. After the remaining two assassins caught a glimpse of the tall killer not far away being killed by Arcado's means, they were a little flustered. An assassin was actually scratched by Dick and lost his sword in his hand.
Arcado attacked behind his back and cut the assassin with a sword. The assassin immediately spit black blood and twitched to death. The only assassin was about to be captured alive. Unexpectedly, he took out a short dagger from his arms and inserted a knife into his heart and committed suicide.
Dick just breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could speak, Arcado's eyes went black and fell down...
On February 15 of the Gregorian calendar, Rudolph Arcado, the owner of Rome Island, was attacked.
That night, the doctor had no choice but to walk out of Lord Rudolph's dormitory in the Holy Sword Fortress, and was immediately surrounded by military generals and some administrative bosses.
"Are you all right?" A group of people asked
"How are you, my lord? What's your expression?" Someone was very dissatisfied with the doctor's expression and asked harshly.
