Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 391 Three Billboards

The layout of the Blood Temple in Bloodthorn City is different from other places.

There are 24 marble pillars entering the hall. Behind each pillar, there are zombie shamans shaking their heads and singing war songs to make waves.

The "Masyaf Squad" are all professional assassins, and it is certainly impossible to go the right way.

Ezio Petrie took his seven orc master assassins, all in white hoods and hunched over when walking, under the cover of shadow magic and the flames of war on Temple Street, they touched Under the flanking walls of the Temple of Blood.

Although according to the architectural structure of the Blood Temple, there is no entrance on the side, but this does not mean that there are no windows in the high place.

In fact, the ventilation and lighting of the entire Blood Temple were exquisitely designed at the beginning of construction:

Inside the courtyard of the temple hall, surrounded by the rolling river of blood, there are nine marble columns arranged in a circle, each engraved with the images of the nine apostles of the God of War;
The lighting windows on the upper floors of the temple will project the outdoor light onto different apostle pillars at different times of the day. After the stone pillars blessed by the battle song, the corresponding apostle's title song will sound:
Of course, Gorza, the "evil idea" who has stabbed the God of War countless times in the back, is the only one among the nine stone pillars that will never be exposed to the sun-this shows the rejection of traitors by the people of the God of War.

The "Masyaf Squad" led by Ezio Petrie focused on these lighting windows that were more than ten meters above the ground.

The master orc assassin pulled his hood and snapped his fingers lightly.

Behind him, the Masyaf Assassins crouched gently on the outer wall of the Blood Temple like geckos.

A thick black air spread from their palms, firmly sticking to the surface of the outer wall of the temple like a tentacle.

As soon as Ezio Petrie gave an order, the Masyaf Assassins sucked the wall with their hands, and slowly but silently climbed up the straight wall. Became Spider-Man.

——It was once asserted that the tall "Masyaf" orcs are destined to be unable to fly over walls and walk on the edge of light and shadow like the famous demon assassins in the country;

However, the apprentice-level shadow magic "Shadow Adsorption", which is a pagan spell, gave this group of orc assassins a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—or, in other words, a mission to serve the light in the shadows.

The silent journey of the "Masyaf" team climbing the wall, of course, did not attract the attention of the occupants in the temple;

However, among the soldiers of the "Pride of God of War" taking a shower with thunder and lightning war songs on the temple street in the distance, many people had sharp eyes and noticed that someone was doing special work at heights on the outer wall of the temple;

However, before they were stunned with their big astonished eyes, the leader of the team scolded severely, forcing the soldiers to concentrate on the battle in front of them.

Even so, these orc officers were still frightened out of their brows:

The key to the plan to use the "Masyaf Squad" to attack "Master Ner'zhul" is the secrecy of the assassin's actions—if the rebels in the temple really got killed because of the abnormal reaction of a few ignorant soldiers, I noticed the assassin who was secretly climbing the wall, and finally made the plan fall short...

Then these grassroots officers in charge of leading the army, I'm afraid they will commit suicide directly to thank the God of War!
Fortunately for the orcs, this little episode didn't have any bad effects:
The zombie shamans on the terrace of the Temple of Blood are still like the most powerful workers, tirelessly singing thunder and lightning war songs, as if they are at two sides that have nothing to do with the assassins who are struggling to climb the wall on the flanks of the temple. a parallel plane.

The "Pride of the God of War" infantrymen on Temple Street, while listening to the screams of the brothers in front of them undergoing electrotherapy, stepped forward under the command of the officer, and endured the fear of imminent death in their hearts. Seeing the only comforting good news in this miserable world:

It seems that 1 years have passed, and it seems that only 5 minutes have passed. The "Masyaf Squad" assassins in fluttering white clothes finally reached the highest level of the temple. Under the cover of the magic shadow, they disappeared In the high-rise window of the Blood Temple, it disappeared without a trace like a cockroach crawling into a corner.

"Masyaf Squad" is here!That son of a bitch "Master Ner'zhul" is doomed! ——Witnessing the assassins successfully sneaking into the destination, the orc soldiers felt a strong sense of pride and pride in their hearts, as if they were the master assassins who came and went without a trace, until the officers of the squad urged them to move forward The sound came, and then he returned to the bloody and cold real world.

……

Ezio Petri, who led the team into the Temple of Blood, naturally didn't know that their live-action rock climbing show had caused many waves in the hearts of the orc soldiers in the distance.

Currently, what bothers him is a more realistic question:
Where the hell is that "Master Ner'zhul"?
——According to the information provided by General Durst Lone Stone of the "Pride of the God of War" division, all the zombie shamans and the orc soldiers who are constantly being resurrected and reused are all driven by this necromancer who has no conscience masterpiece;
As long as "Master Ner'zhul" is quickly wiped out, then the undead legion that plagued the "Pride of the God of War" will be self-defeating, and the "Scourge Legion" with "Master Ner'zhul" as its spiritual leader will also follow suit. Buildings collapse, birds and beasts scatter.

Ordinarily, "killing a magician" is the job of the "Masyaf Squad". After entering the enemy-controlled area, looking for assassination targets is the specialty of Ezio Petrie and his little brothers. It sounds like a familiar road——

——That's what Ezio Petrie thought before he climbed into the window of the Temple of Blood.

But reality tells him cruelly that things don't seem to be that simple.

Because Ezio Petrie, who was covered in invisible shadows, had just turned over the dusty window sill on the upper floor of the Blood Temple when he saw a sign in astonishment.

A wooden sign inserted crookedly into the ground.

A billboard.

Ezio Petrie looked at the wooden sign in the high-level corridor of the temple in an incongruous way. With his brain almost frozen, he read the notice on the notice with his trembling lips, and wrote in the common language of the Commonwealth. Notice of:

"Still looking for Master Ner'zhul? Go to the second floor! Salvation is there!"

Following behind Ezio Petrie, the orc assassins who opened the window one after another also noticed the sign that appeared abruptly in the corridor one by one, and then stopped one after another after reading the notice on it. After thinking, they looked at each other.

After a long time, an orc assassin cautiously poked Vice Captain Ezio Petrie on the shoulder:

"Head, boss... this... what is this?"

Ezio Petrie looked back at his little brother stiffly, with "I don't make it!" written all over his face.

——How could there be such a billboard in the corridor of the Blood Temple for no reason? !
You know, their current location is the top corridor of the Blood Temple.

Going over the patio railing beside you and looking down as far as you can, you can have a panoramic view of the central part of the first floor of the temple.

The reason why the "Masyaf Squad" chose to enter the temple through the window is precisely because following this route, they can come to this overlooking point with a great view at the first time, so as to find the assassination target "Ner'zhul" as soon as possible. Master's position;

However, because the location is too high, there are usually no pilgrims or shamans stationed in the temple passing by in this corridor, and there are many crooked statues and crates piled up in the corridor, obviously already It was used as a warehouse by the shamans of the Blood Parliament——

——How could a billboard suddenly appear in such a deserted and deserted place?

The goal of their trip was written on the sign, the location of "Master Ner'zhul"? !
The reason why this sign is here is almost like waiting for the arrival of the "Masyaf Squad"!
Even if Ezio Petrie had a bad cold, he could smell a strong conspiracy in it!

The veteran assassin clenched his teeth, and his mind turned:
The shadow spells they use to deceive the world can only be described as "seamless", unless there are masters who are proficient in shadow magic in this group of so-called "scourge legions", otherwise no one will pay attention To "Masyaf Squad" flanking the Temple of Blood!

——In other words, this brand is obviously not specially prepared for them!

——It is more likely that the occupiers in the temple had already expected that someone might sneak in through the window, so they erected a sign here as a deterrent, intending to show that "whatever you are doing I found out!"

In fact, similar dramas are not uncommon: on the earth that Ezio Petrie has never visited, there are many shops with signs saying "You are in the monitoring area". As for whether there are cameras in those places, I am afraid Only the owner of the store knows.

Ezio Petrie is worthy of being a master assassin who has experienced many battles. It only took two seconds to quickly judge that this sign is just a trick set up in advance to scare the enemy. The Scourge really discovered the whereabouts of the Masyaf Squad, so they might have been served by knives and axes as soon as they turned over the window, why use a standing sign to warn them?
On the other hand, if the "Masyaf Squad" is really frightened by this flamboyant notice board and even withdraws, then it will be in line with the wishes of this group of despicable rebels!

After figuring out the situation, Ezio Petrie stretched out his hand and gestured to the frightened little brothers behind him, indicating that everything was normal, and the action continued.

"Then...over there..." an assassin asked with lip language, "shall we go to the second floor to find 'Master Ner'zhul' as written on this sign?"

Ezio Petrie pondered for a moment, then cautiously poked his head out from the railing, overlooking the situation in the main hall on the first floor of the temple:

On the golden floor of the hall, among the rivers of blood flowing, there were only five or six armored orcs wandering around, and it was impossible to tell whether they were zombies or living people. However, compared with the dire situation on Temple Avenue, the atmosphere in the temple Almost peaceful enough to hold a classical concert.

In any case, their assassination target "Master Ner'zhul" must not be in the hall anymore.

Ezio Petrie pinched his eyebrows a little irritably:
The internal architectural structure of the entire Blood Temple presents an obvious "back" shape: from the broad golden hall on the first floor upwards, there is a square patio on the top floor of the temple. On the side are large and small rooms, most of which are prayer rooms, shaman dormitories and libraries with precious books.

Searching for a necromancer in such a huge religious building with so many rooms can be imagined without any clue.

In the original vision of the federal army, as the leader of the "Scourge Legion", "Master Ner'zhul" should sit in the lobby on the first floor and command the zombies on Temple Street to fight;
But at present, it seems that "Master Ner'zhul" is obviously more cunning, and has hidden himself in an unknown corner of the temple——After seeing the bluffing billboard just now, Ezio Pei Cui had actually anticipated this situation:
This "Master Ner'zhul" is obviously ready to deal with the enemy's infiltration and assassination.

Ezio Petrie gritted his teeth and said with his lips:

"Let's take a look down the stairs first—but in order to prevent it from being a trap, be careful all the way, and don't go directly to the second floor. We can use the shadow spell to search for the target through the wall."

The assassin brothers nodded one after another.

It stands to reason that they have carried out countless similar assassination missions in human castles, large and small, but for some reason, all the assassins of the "Masyaf Squad" today are extremely nervous, and even the palms holding the daggers are soaked. full of sweat.

At that moment, under the cover of the shadow curtain, a group of people walked slowly downstairs along the corridor.

Strangely, there was silence in the empty Temple of Blood, and the singing of thunder and lightning war outside the temple gate and the sound of bloody battles on Temple Street seemed ethereal and distant to the assassins of the "Masyaf Squad".

Along the way, let alone the members of the "Scourge Corps", they didn't even meet a zombie:
The original high and holy temple is now like a ghost building.

——This kind of environment, for the assassins who have been walking in the shadows all year round, couldn’t be more comfortable. The tension after entering the temple and encountering the notice board by accident also weakened as they walked into the temple Quite a lot.

However, the good luck didn't last long.

Because, just as the "Masyaf Squad" turned a corner of the corridor and was about to enter the second floor of the temple, another billboard stood brightly in the center of the corridor, which almost scared the nervous Ezio Petrie. Scared out of myocardial infarction:
"'Conquer your heart! Conquer yourself!' Master Ner'zhul's spiritual lecture is in full swing!"

Mind... Lectures? !The orc assassins stared at the billboard dumbfounded, with their mouths open as if they were cosplaying hippopotamuses:

The battle is raging outside, what kind of "Master Ner'zhul" is giving a lecture? !

Ezio Petrie clenched his teeth and carefully walked around this weird billboard.

Then, almost without warning, a third billboard appeared in the vision of the master orc assassin:
"The third room on the left hand in front, Ner'zhul, chief spiritual mentor of the Scourge, welcomes all friends!"
