Chapter 237 Assassination
It has been 5 days since the Taranto rebels surrendered and the crisis in the imperial capital was lifted.

On this day, the area inside and outside the south gate of the imperial capital was buzzing with people, and it became lively again.

Almost all the residents of the entire imperial capital flocked here. There was a sea of ​​people, and when viewed from a height, it was densely packed with human heads.

Just because today is the day when the army goes out to fight, it is a special day when the general personally leads the elite of the empire to fight against the Riga army on the front line of Huaishui Pass.

Under the official propaganda of the empire, everyone knows that the province of Brussels has abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and returned to the glorious empire.As if overnight, the flames of war were everywhere, and the difficult situation full of crises was completely reversed.

Like the high-ranking monarchs and ministers of the empire, the ordinary people also breathed a sigh of relief, followed by excitement and anticipation.

This civil strife in the empire naturally damaged a certain amount of vitality, but it was not without benefits.At the very least, it has sharpened the army, and it has also allowed some capable talents to stand out and take up important positions in the army.

Such as General Anthony!

The 2 Riga army was destroyed in his hands, and it was a field battle.This made the soldiers and civilians of the empire full of confidence in Anthony and full of expectations for the imperial army.

If we can defeat and annihilate one Riga army, we can defeat the second and the third.Our generals are omnipotent and good at performing miracles.It is definitely not a luxury to repel the invading Riga army, or even counterattack and enter the Riga Empire.

Now this miraculous commander is leading his elite subordinates, and the whole army is about to set off.How could people come here without scrambling to get a close look at the military's heyday.

Seeing the young general Anthony walking slowly through the south gate of the imperial capital under the hand of His Majesty King Beckenbauer, the crowd on both sides gave out the warmest applause and cheers.

Among the crowd somewhere, a group of people in white clothes watched quietly, with a calm expression on their faces. Under the reflection of the excited crowd around them, they looked quite different.

It was Archbishop Garrincha and other members of the Holy See of Light.

At this time, the archbishop in red was staring closely at the young man who had attracted much attention, his eyes were cold and without any emotion.

"It's him? Are you sure?"

George took a step closer and replied softly: "It's definitely not wrong. Whether it's the itinerary or the time of appearance, this Anthony is exactly the same as the person we are looking for. The magic circle found in Li Village is the same as the magic circle known in Oscontinent It is completely different, and it should be set up by this young man. Moreover, the 2 Riga army praised by everyone in the imperial capital city, the military of the Brilliant Empire just set up a large magic circle that no one has seen before, and deceived the Riga Empire. The perception of all magicians finally achieved a brilliant victory. And this obviously self-contained magic circle was created by Anthony."

George had obviously done his research, and his answers were coherent and unambiguous.

Cardinal Garrincha nodded, stopped staring at Anthony, turned and left.

"In that case, let's act according to the plan."

The remaining 8 people naturally followed from behind.

George hesitated for a while, and finally took two steps closer to the archbishop in red.

"Lord Garrincha, Anthony's strength is unfathomable, and he is under the heavy protection of the army. If you want to attack him, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will not be easy to succeed."

He originally wanted to say that there was no possibility of success, but he was afraid of angering the unpredictable Garrincha, so he could only say it as tactfully as possible.

But the cardinal did not appreciate it.

"Who can never be negligent, think of him as a young boy, who was lucky enough to get great credit for a while, how can he not be proud and complacent. In addition, this is the territory of the Brilliant Empire, so he doesn't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy, so he will inevitably relax in his heart. As long as we are careful in our actions, we will definitely have a good chance of winning.”

Having said this, why would George dare to talk too much?
The others walked forward even more numbly, with no intention of opening their mouths at all.

……

As night falls, darkness covers the earth.The moon in the sky has long been blocked by thick clouds, and there is no trace of it.Even the twinkling stars, none of them are missing.

It's the night of the dark moon and the high wind to kill people!

Garrincha was lurking on a big tree, motionless like a sculpture, staring quietly at the huge tent not far away.

His previous guess was not wrong, Anthony's army was indeed a little slack.Although with Garrincha's martial arts cultivation, it is not so easy for ordinary patrol soldiers to spot him.But allowing Garrincha to easily touch the vicinity of the large tent of the Chinese army is enough to show that the army's security is not tight enough.

But Garrincha did not act rashly.Including him, although the three main attackers are all top professionals in the fourth realm, they dare not boast that they can come and go freely among tens of thousands of troops.

Not to mention that their target is also a top expert, the difficulty of this operation can be imagined.

Although the archbishop in red was proud and conceited, he was by no means stupid, and would not kill him recklessly.

He is waiting.As long as the patrolling guards relax a little bit, even if it's just a yawn or a sneeze, it's enough for a master like them to do a lot of things.

Garrincha was still quietly waiting for the opportunity, but on the other side of the tent that he couldn't see, two figures approached quickly but quietly.Then the figure flashed, and the two of them had already entered the tent.

Obviously, these two are also masters.

The two of them had just entered the tent when they suddenly felt a blur in front of their eyes. Somehow, they came to a deep valley.

There are flowers and grass, trees and rocks in that valley, and there are animals and plants that a valley should have. It is quiet and quiet, and everything is normal.

However, this is the large tent of the Chinese army camped by the army of the Brilliant Empire, and a valley suddenly appeared. Even people with no brains know that this is the biggest abnormality.

The tall and burly one of the two reacted the fastest, and he understood almost immediately, and whispered softly: "General, it's us, Moore and Copper Hammer."

Even so, in this short period of time, wooden arrows made of seven or eight branches were shot at the two of them quickly.

Moore was talking, and his subordinates were not idle, and waved to block all the attacks.

The touch from his hands told him that these arrows were not illusions, and if he ignored them, he might really be injured.

But the real valley in front of me is definitely an illusion!How did Anthony arrange this kind of magic circle that is half-empty and half-real?
Before Patriarch Moore could figure it out, the scene in front of him suddenly shook.When I looked again, the valley where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant had disappeared, and only a young man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at them with a smile on his face.

The copper hammer wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his head, and let out a long breath.

"I said General, do you always set up magic circles around you when you sleep?"

Moore also pricked up his ears, waiting for the boy's answer.

Anthony laughed and said, "That's not the case. But there are guests coming tonight, so we should make some preparations so as not to neglect the distinguished guests. Don't you think so?"

"Besides, didn't the two patriarchs come here for this?"

Moore and Tong Hammer glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of surprise and shock in each other's eyes.

The decline of the Li clan and the dwarf clan so far can be said to have a lot to do with the Holy See of Light.The two are like prey and hunter, mice and cats, like natural enemies in the animal kingdom.Their hostility and hatred for the Holy See of Light has been engraved into their bones and branded on their souls.

As for the aura of the Illuminati, both races couldn't be more sensitive.Therefore, although Garrincha and the other three were able to hide from the patrolling soldiers, they couldn't hide from the perception of the patriarchs of the two clans.

At the beginning, they thought that the Holy See of Guangming was coming for them, and they were about to prepare for it.But soon the two discovered that the target of these people seemed to be the general in the Chinese army's tent.

They rushed over in a hurry and were about to warn Anthony.Moreover, in order not to startle the snake, he deliberately sneaked quietly without disturbing anyone.

But who would have thought that Anthony seemed to have discovered the traces of the enemy earlier than them, and had made arrangements, waiting for the "guest" to come to the door by himself.

Enough vigilance, good calculation!
Fortunately, they are not enemies.

The two patriarchs breathed a sigh of relief and stood silently waiting.At the same time, a 3-second silence was observed for the coming distinguished guests.

……

Archbishop Garrincha's patience was not good. Just when he was about to reach the limit, he finally found a not-so-good opportunity. His figure flashed a few times, avoiding the sight of all the patrols at the end, and rushed to the center of the army. In front of the big tent.Gently lifted the door curtain, and entered the tent together with the two masters who rushed after them.

The same treatment as Moore and Copper Hammer before, the archbishop in red and the other 3 people also fell into a phantom formation.

"Not good! There is an ambush!"

Garrincha immediately realized that he and others had been tricked.Immediately ordered:

"retreat!"

He never thought that only three people could fight against a large army. The reason why he dared to come was nothing more than to take advantage of the negligence of the opponent and carry out a sneak attack.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the tent, he fell into the enemy's magic circle.

Leaving aside the power of the magic circle, the mere warning of the enemy is enough to ruin Garrincha's sneak attack plan.If you don't make a decisive decision and retreat immediately, I'm afraid the three of them will have to explain here instead.

At this moment, a thunderous explosion suddenly exploded.

"Why are you walking so fast? If you eat your grandfather, I'll strike you with an ax first!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a huge ax slashed across the waist like a thunderbolt towards a master of the Holy See of Light.

Anthony and Moore didn't make a sound, but at the same time they shot brazenly.

The 6 people present are all super masters who can make Osland tremble three times with a stomp of their feet, how fast their reaction speed is.Only a few bang bang bangs were heard, and the two sides only had time to exchange a move. Garrincha and the others were ejected out of the big tent like cannonballs.

As soon as he touched the ground, his feet stomped on the ground vigorously, and his figure burst out again. Before the patrolling soldiers could react, he disappeared into the night after a few turning points.

"There are assassins!"

"There are assassins!"

The movement of Nuo Da in the large tent of the Chinese army finally alarmed the guarding soldiers, who all shouted loudly.

For a moment, the quiet military camp boiled like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed.

Anthony ignored the commotion outside, and did not step forward to stabilize the overall situation. He believed that Tang Feng and other generals would handle these trivial matters well.

I saw him turn sideways slightly, looking at Tong Hammer and Moore with a flat face, with a hint of playfulness in his smile.

"You two, you don't need to be so impatient."

The two patriarchs trembled in their hearts, as if they had been peeked into their minds, they turned their heads unconsciously, not daring to look directly into the plain but bottomless eyes of the young man.
