Duke of Herrington

Chapter 180 'The Kind' Steve.
Ted picked up the weapon and came to the window, sighed in shock: "My god, something happened in the palace! I don't know if Steve is still alive?"

As an experienced special soldier, Joseph can easily deduce how many serial farts this person is about to fart based on the pain of passers-by's facial expressions, as well as the frequency of clutching their stomachs and stomping their feet!
Just judging from the sound coming from him, he can come up with a rough plot based on Steve's ability!
So he was just stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses: "Listening to the sound, it sounds like a No. 2 flash bomb specially used by our army. Being able to pull out this thing shows that Steve predicted the enemy first, but he wanted to catch the enemy. alive, and did not shoot directly to kill the enemy.”

"Oh?" Hearing Joseph's analysis, Ted comforted him kindly like a kind old father: "It seems that Steve is not so useless! At some point, he can still protect himself!"

Upon hearing this, even if Joseph was wearing invisible camouflage and no one saw him, he was embarrassed by the compliment!

He shook his head quietly, raised his right hand to touch his nose, and explained: "It's just...in the dark sky, in such a small space, throwing the No. 2 flash bomb, I'm afraid the assassins have become blind and deaf. The life-threatening assassins who came here are also completely worthless, because they can’t ask anything.”

Ted, who had just gotten excited, felt cold again when he heard Joseph's rational analysis afterwards.
"That's too clever."

The two also thought about contacting Steve through the walkie-talkie, but if he was confronting the enemy and the bell rang, something bad might happen, so they didn't take the initiative to call, but waited for Steve's news
Running all the way, the two gradually saw the outline of the outer wall of the palace
Meanwhile, in Steve's bedroom, the guards have arrived!

However, judging from the time response, they are a bit too fast!It was supposed to arrive in 5 minutes, but they took less than 1 minute!Obviously prepared in advance
"Could it be."

Even if the flickering fire is very unstable, Steve can still see the logo on the chest of the approaching guard!

"Hey! It's brother's soldier!" Thinking of this, he clenched the weapon in his hand, reached into the bag with his left hand again, and took out a flash bomb.

Because this is the palace!In order to prevent rebellion and regicide from happening, it is strictly forbidden for princes or other nobles to enter the palace with more than 2 guards!

Right now, so many soldiers of the eldest prince are here
"Could it be that this is for the guards to cover up? Want to kill me? Then go to assassinate the father?" Thinking about this, Steve quickly shook his head and denied this idea!The eldest prince Andy's IQ is not that low, it is absolutely impossible for him to do this!So there must be other plans!
But these soldiers were indeed wearing the clothes of the First Prince's Guard, and they also wore the logo of the First Prince's team!

"Could it be that he pretended to be a servant and sneaked in?"

But in this situation, Steve has no time to distinguish between friends and foes, let alone worry about their intentions!

"Forget it! Even if it came to kill me, it's useless! It might have happened a few years ago! But today is different, times have changed!" Steve took a long breath, exposed his body armor, and opened the magazine on it Buckle, convenient for yourself to change bombs at any time!
The guards who came running didn't act rashly. One of the tasks they received was to cover the assassin who failed in the assassination!
However, looking at Steve in front of him, not only did he not show any signs of injury, but he was fully prepared, exuding a different level of confidence in his gestures, especially in the 'unknown guy' in his hand!
Judging from the dim torch, his expression showed that he was not afraid of the twenty guards who came to approach!
In front of him, there were no tokens on the two assassins, and no one would be able to find out who they were, but the guards who came were different. They belonged to the First Prince's camp, and everything from the hat to the armor was marked Identity, if they fail to kill Steve, they will completely expose the eldest prince's intentions!

At that time, not only will I be cold, but my family will also suffer.
Recalling the weapon in the hands of Earl Herrington during the day, it was more than enough to kill 200 people!

Now, there are only 20 people in the room, so I'm afraid they are not even qualified for the appetizers!

So. In the end, instead of attacking Steve, they carried out the second mission of the First Prince, making sure the assassin shut up!Then, before the team came, he quickly slipped away!
If the guards find out that the First Prince's troops are in the palace, even if nothing happened, they will be charged with treason!

So, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the soldiers surrounded him, creating a scene where they wanted to confront Steve.

Seeing this, Steve raised his weapon, ready to fire at any time, and shouted loudly: "One more step forward, and I will kill all of you! I will do what I say!"

The captain of the guard immediately raised his hand, palms forward to show that he would not mess around, and signaled everyone to back off by the way: "His Royal Highness Steve, you are joking, we are here to protect you!"

"I don't need the protection of the eldest prince, you all leave here quickly!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The crowd quickly walked back and left along the route, leaving only two corpses behind.

Looking at the captive who should have been alive on the ground, Steve was dumbfounded. In just a few seconds, he was sent away from the mountain!
"Damn, shit! I'm still too young."

See them destroy useless evidence
Suddenly, an evil thought came out of Steve's kind heart.
The instructors in the northern border had taught him some "righteous" crooked ways, and told him that, in addition to the conventional means of defeating the enemy, sometimes, some framing or other "righteous" dark means can be used to achieve the goal ahead of time!

Especially when facing the enemy!Show them no mercy!Because if you let them go, there will be endless troubles
Right now, there is such an opportunity
"Brother must die, brother needs to be discussed, so... I'm sorry! You are soldiers of brother, minions of the enemy! And you should not appear here in the palace!"

The next moment, Steve raised his gun and shot at the crowd without hesitation.
'Da da da'

Because of his poor marksmanship, he had to empty three magazines before killing everyone in front of him!

The thunderous gunshots echoed in the night, Ted heard such dense gunshots, judging from the interval, he could hear that Steve emptied the magazine many times
Joseph beside him also panicked.
Such a fight, in their opinion, must have encountered an assassination team of no less than 50 people who came to kill Steve!

Now, they have to do it.

If the previous flash bomb can make the big-hearted people continue to sleep soundly, but the continuous gunshots that follow, as long as they are not deaf, they will definitely wake them up!
As human beings, their inferiority makes them have to get up and have a look, gather together to have fun, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, they must eat melons and watch.

At this time, in Steve's room, he had already packed up the scene, and made the appearance of the guards coming to assassinate him!
After doing this, he put on a new magazine, and tried his best to brew his feelings. Listening to the approaching footsteps and the smell of charcoal from outside, Steve trembled, curled up in the corner of the bedroom shivering
The door was open and he could clearly see the 'real! 'The guards are coming, and always ready to act!

The distance was getting closer and closer, and he had already seen the captain of the guard rushing to the front!

Looking at the silhouette, it should be his father's personal guard, who only obeys his father's orders. He is a ruthless man who was scooped out of the orphanage by Leicester 30 years ago, and will not be bought by anyone.
"Ahem. Mmm. Mmmm!" Steve quickly brewed his emotions and entered the state.
The moment the guards rushed into the door, Steve pretended to be a frightened groundhog, regardless of his identity and status, like a dung beetle trying to dig up the cesspit, trying his best to squeeze into the corner, trying to Get out of here!

In addition to body language, he also yelled: "Don't come here! You all don't come here! If you come here again, I will beat you to death!"

Roaring alone is not convincing, but it needs to create a little deterrence!
So, Steve casually fires a few shots at the ceiling.
'Da da da'

The dust splashed and the loud noise reverberating in the confined space stopped the real guards who came and dared not go forward.

At this time, the leading captain saw the situation in the house clearly.
The torches scattered on the ground, the sharp sword out of its sheath, and the guards of the eldest prince who fell to the ground! ?They were scattered all over the ground.
In addition, there seem to be some less obvious drag marks
Looking along the light, two people in night clothes had their necks wiped.

Looking at these, he probably understood what it was.
According to the laws of the empire, even the prince has no right to order the guards in the emperor's territory!These people who are wearing the First Prince's clothes and the First Prince's armband have no right to exercise the right of protection!
Besides, these people are not qualified to enter the palace at all.
But they happened to appear here again, so the answer to the question is clear at a glance. As for the traces of dragging, there is no need to delve into it. This alone can be used as a conviction.
Not far away, when they heard gunshots again, Ted and Joseph stopped running, slowed down and paced slowly.

Ted took a deep breath and whispered to the air beside him: "Still shooting? Then Steve should be fine!"

As the leader of the special forces, Joseph is well aware of the consequences of such splashing and shooting!If you fire like this, you might run out of ammunition!
After all, not everyone is like Agni, who can run 200 kilometers with a 30kg bullet!

It is also not like Battlefield Superman or Call of Duty Superman, wearing various tactical equipment, wearing a body armor of more than ten kilograms, and carrying two main weapons and 1000 rounds of ammunition.
Therefore, he couldn't help worrying: "Does this Steve have enough bullets?"

Ted was well aware of Steve's illness!
Just like his own lack of firepower phobia, only enough ammunition can bring him a sense of security!
And when Steve took the guards back to the north by plane, because he was adhering to the concept of personnel first.
The extra bullets were put in the secret door of his bedroom by Steve.
"Enough! He hid at least 9 rounds of 19x[-]mm bullets in his room, enough for him to shoot the gun until it was useless."

Seeing that Steve was worried about having no ammunition, Joseph turned on the panel, glanced at the time, and expressed his thoughts: "If this is the case, then we don't have to worry. According to the decree of the Imperial Royal Guard, we must arrive within 5 minutes. , I guess the personal guard belonging to the emperor has already arrived."

Hearing that someone will deal with this matter, Ted's untimely drowsiness welled up: "If this is the case, then can't we go back to sleep?"

While someone will take care of Steve's mess, it's still solid!But Joseph, as a human being with an online IQ and excellent reasoning ability, guessed the next move: "Sir, I have a hunch that we will be summoned there soon."

If Joseph didn't say anything, Ted's nerves would still be relaxed, but he had an ominous premonition, and Ted's stomach began to feel uncomfortable, and there was always a prehistoric spirit that wanted to rush out of the door: "Listen to what you said , I also have this premonition that trouble will come."

Sure enough, within 5 minutes, a trotting member of the royal guard saw Earl Herrington, who was taking a walk and farting quietly by the way.

"My lord! Please come with us. Something happened to the fifth prince. He will never leave without you."

"Uh, no problem. But can you tell me what happened!"

"We talked as we walked."

Although Steve's age is several times that of Ted's, he is still worried about his ability, so he might as well drag others into the muddy water and let the smart and quick-witted Ted handle the next mess.
Because he was a little too excited.

For example, when he sensed the assassin, he should immediately turn on the walkie-talkie and call Ted instead of completely ignoring the existence of this thing
Even if it was temporarily safe, he didn't remember that there was a walkie-talkie, but ignored him tactically.
When Ted arrived in Steve's room, he first saw Steve who seemed to have been raped by several big guys in turn.

Seeing his unlucky appearance, just for a moment, Ted entered the drama.
"Your Highness Steve, it's me! Look! It's me! Ted! Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, put down your weapons first."

And Steve has been trained by the instructors in the north, and his reaction ability is better than ordinary people.

He analyzed Ted's intentions and had an idea!
Stepping on the 'steps' handed by Ted, Steve continued to cry: "They're going to kill me! It's the great prince Andy! He sent assassins! He sent his guards! I'm so scared. I don't want to be here Wait, the palace is too unsafe! I want to go back to Valentine."

Anyone who saw such incoherent words would think that this was a look of extreme fright!

In addition to being frightened, the captain of the guard heard this, but his face was burning hot. He, the captain of the palace guard, allowed such absurd things to happen, not only assassins, but also the prince's guards ran in!
This time I killed Steve, but next time I will kill the king and rebel!
If this is pursued, it will not be as simple as demotion and suspension of salary. If it is not done, it will be labeled as an 'collaborator', and it will be completely cool.
When something difficult happened, he didn't think about the doubts, but tried hard to think about how to deal with the aftermath. As for whether things were as Steve said, it all depended on what he and the guards around him saw and heard!
And looking at everyone's appearance, nervousness and fear, and sweat all over their heads.
It seems that they have reached an agreement with their own ideas!
So, he chose to trust Steve temporarily!
"Well, it seems that someone at the gate of the palace has been bribed! You must find out before His Majesty wakes up! If you don't give a proper explanation, all the guards will be beheaded."

After a full 5 minutes, Steve got up under the leadership of Ted
