Estes kept Zhuge Kongming's words firmly in his heart, and then got up to say goodbye and left with Anastasia.
Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Anastasia stopped and turned to look at Esdesh behind her, and sighed.
"Hey, I knew Estes that you would definitely agree to this matter. Is it because of the Hiram incident last time?"
Seeing Anastasia's worried expression, Estes laughed and walked over and patted the princess on the shoulder.
"Sister Anna still understands me. There are some reasons for this, but in the end I still want to do it myself. The blood debt owed to me by the empire to the Baluts must be paid back by myself to make sense!"
Listening to Estes' sonorous oath, Anastasia realized that she no longer needed to persuade her too much, so she encouraged her with a smile:
"I knew it would be like this, Estes is careful in everything, when you come back, my sister will buy you a drink, and then we sisters will get drunk again!!"
After hearing this, Estes, who was still in high spirits just now, turned pale. She looked at the prince who was so excited that she seemed to be about to take out tons of vodka. Alcohol horror.
"Okay... okay... I will definitely have a drink with Sister Anna!" Esdeth said bravely.
When talking about drinking, Anastasia, who was usually cold and cold, seemed to have changed, and her enthusiasm was like a raging flame.
"Okay! That's it. I remember that you still like drinking oolong tea. You can drink as much as you want by then."
Seeing Anastasia's smiling face, Esdeth nodded with a few drops of cold sweat on his white forehead.
Anastasia stretched out her finger and poked Esdeath's flaky cheek. The girl with a bit of a black-bellied little devil character had already noticed Esdece's strangeness, but she just didn't say anything.
"Haha, she is really my good sister, so I won't tease you."
Estes breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. As an alcoholic Baluts, it was the first time in her history that she was so afraid of drinking with others.
Along the flat streets paved with bluestones, the young girls walking together were chatting and laughing. From time to time, they uttered silver bell-like laughter to attract the attention of passers-by, but there was always a moment when the road was finished.
Standing at a fork in the road, Estes stopped, stepped forward to hug Anastasia, and said:
"Sister Anna, I have to hurry up and go back to pack my luggage, let's part here."
For a while, Anastasia, who was very talkative before, became silent, but still whispered something in Esdece's ear.
"Must, come back safely."
Chapter 388 Assassin's Assassination Squad Begins
Late at night, Beicheng, Imperial Mountain.
In the misty night, the vigorous and agile figures quietly climbed over the city wall and invaded the capital of Shanbei County.
Shanbei County, located in the north of the empire's territory, is the only way for the northern border and other places to go south to the imperial capital, and has extremely important strategic significance.
Under the leadership of Zhuge Kongming and Iskandar, the Liangshan uprising army successfully brought the northern border, northern border, northeast county and northwest county of the empire under absolute control in six years, and the next step is to continue to attack the south .
Therefore, this Shanbei County has become the new target of Zhuge Kongming's black hand calculations, and it is a key node in advancing his uprising plan.
In order not to provoke the sensitive nerves of the high-level officials of the imperial capital too much, Zhuge Kongming still had the idea of secretly controlling, and wanted to take Shanbei County silently, preferably without bloodshed.
As the invincible sharp knife in the hands of the great military division, the Assassin Order took over the task duty-bound.
And this crucial task has also become the last graduation assessment for the new generation of Assassins by the Shadow Lantern Hassans.
That's right, the group responsible for carrying out the mission is not the generations of Hassan, but the novices such as Chitong and Nahaxiu who have gone through six years of cruel training.
The new-generation Assassin team has a total of eight people, three men and five women, and each of them was assigned a task objective in this assessment.
The eight assassination targets are scattered in various parts of Shanbei City, so this assassination mission must be completed by a single person independently, and there is no room for opportunism.
Climbing and jumping from the towering city wall, the moment Chitong landed on the ground, he rolled and pounced forward. After removing the impact from his body, his legs kicked and rushed into the shadow of the house. All movements were completed as quickly as flowing clouds and flowing water. .
The hidden girl vigilantly scouted the surrounding area, and after confirming that there was no one nearby, she ran in the street in the right direction.
Her mission target this time is the sheriff of Shanbei City.
In order to deal with emergencies in the city, the sheriff usually sleeps in the police station at night, and it is not easy to invade the police station to assassinate.
What's more, in order to test the true level of Chitong and others, they are forbidden to carry court equipment or Teigu during this assessment.
This undoubtedly made the completion of the task even more difficult, but Chitong and Chelsea were full of confidence, because they firmly believed that they were already qualified and excellent Assassins.
Of course, the imperial envoy Fangdi who stayed in the prefect's mansion of Shanbei City had already been beheaded by Kuangxinzi alone, so there was no need to worry that Chitong and the others would encounter unsolvable opponents during the mission.
Only Tegushi can deal with Tegushi.
This old saying that has been passed down for thousands of years in the history of the empire is indeed true, but it will not be tried on the heroic spirits.
Dodging the patrolling soldiers and the secret sentries, Chitong managed to reach the location of the Shanbei City Security Bureau, and took out his dagger to make a move.
"Although there are not many people staying at night, are there still six people in total? It's a little tricky."
After investigating the enemy's situation clearly, Chitong jumped onto the roof of the police station. The sheriff's office is on the third floor at the top. If he wanted to avoid alarming others, he could only try to do it from here.
Recently, the weather has been relatively hot, especially in inland areas like Shanbei County.
The windows of the police station are still open at night, which is really convenient for Chitong, and makes her actions less troublesome and hindered.
Chitong didn't spend too much time confirming the location of the target because he had seen the internal structure diagram of the police station beforehand.
The girl with rich experience in assassination was as careful as a lurking cheetah. She gently pried open the lock and pushed the door in. When she saw the snoring sheriff curled up on the cot, she sealed her throat with a knife, and her movements were crisp.
Then, she looked at the dead man's face by the moonlight to confirm that she had completed the task.
"Target confirmed, funeral is over!"
Chitong murmured softly, opened the window of the office and jumped out, and quickly evacuated from the crime scene without looking back.
At the same time, the other Assassin team members who sneaked into the city with her also successfully completed their tasks one after another, and began to retreat by the route they planned alone in advance.
Compared with the other seven people, Chelsea's physical ability is the weakest, but it is not a problem to fly over the wall.
This assessment task was the most difficult for her, but fortunately, she completed it without any risk. After getting back Tegu's 'Transform Free Gaia Foundation', Chelsea's assassination ability will definitely be so strong People are timid.
At dawn, the Assassin assassination team reassembled in the deep mountains.
Nahashu, Cornelia, Guy, Green, Chikushi, Akahito, Black Hitomi, Chelsea, three men, five women, and eight of them.
With the powerful ability to manipulate the shadows, Shadow Lantern Hassan has already confirmed their achievements, and they all completed the tasks very well.
Looking at the eight young people standing in a row in front of them, Hassan, Curse Wrist and Baimao, understood that the old man in the mountain who will be the leader of the new generation will surely be born from them.
As for who it will be, that is something that the old man of the mountain will consider.
"Congratulations, you have officially become a member of the Assassin Order from today, but this is just the beginning!"
As the instructor who has the most contact with the students, most of the lectures are done by fanatics, and as a fanatic, she has indeed successfully cultivated a new batch of supporters.
"Next, I will announce the new arrangement for you. Those whose names have been called come forward, grab your weapons and set off immediately!"
Kuangxinzi's face turned serious, causing Chitong and the others to stand up straight subconsciously, their eyes fixed on the instructor in front of them.
"Nahashiu, Guy, and Green are on the line. You have been assigned to the assassination agency in the army. Your main job is intelligence and counter-espionage."
The few three teenagers in the team responded and ran to Cursed Arm Hassan to get back the treasured weapons handed in before the mission—the thousand-layered garment, the rattlesnake, and the water dragon sword.
After Qianzi Muramasa's processing, regardless of whether it is a Teigu or a servant, it has been transformed into a treasure. It can be said that it has been strengthened like an epic, so that everyone can't put it down.
"Cornelia and Chikushi went out, and you were assigned to Liangshan City. Adjutant Bedivere will explain the specific tasks later."
Following the announcement of the fanatic, the two cute girls with blond hair and big breasts and child-like big breasts in the queue stepped forward and answered, and then ran to Hassan the Cursed Wrist.
In the end, there were only Chelsea, Chitong and Heitong sisters left on the field.
The resolute fanatic did not delay for half a second, and said directly:
"You three, go to the imperial capital and find someone to connect with at the Maserati Tavern. Someone will arrange the task then."
Chapter 389 Shayou and Iyeas
In the empire, on a certain official road leading to the imperial capital, a string of carriages loaded with goods was walking slowly.
In addition to the driver and the person in charge of taking care of the goods in each car, there are also some mercenaries with weapons in hand to protect the caravan around the long line, and the person walking in the front of the line and riding a horse is the caravan the leader.
In the mercenary team at the end of the convoy, there were two children who looked only half-grown.
A man and a woman, about [-] or [-] years old, were Shayou and Iyeas who left Tata Village first and wanted to go to the imperial capital to join the army.
Iyeas is an excellent warrior, with a white bowl wrapped around his head, a plain-colored backpack on his back, and the best long knife in the village on his waist. He has a cheerful and sunny personality, and is always chattering.
On the other hand, Shayou, who has long black and soft hair, is carrying a large basket of arrows and holding a wooden longbow in her hand. The job agency chosen by the girl is the so-called Archer who hangs on the wall.
It's just that she doesn't seem to have any melee skills, and it's a pity that she hasn't developed into a glorious and great melee archer.
"Hi, Shayou." Iyeas asked lazily with his hands behind his head, "You said we have been out for ten days, how long will it take to reach the imperial capital?"
Such a boring life on the road now is really far from the adventure he imagined in his heart.
I thought that after leaving that remote Tata Village, I would usher in the long-awaited exciting and passionate life, but now it seems that those stories and legends are all just lies.
Compared to the impetuous Iyeas, Shayou is much quieter and calmer.
Perhaps because of the precocity of the girl, the girl like Iyeas' sister has always been wary of unfamiliar environments.
She glanced at the impatient companion, and responded angrily: "Iyeas, this is already the 20th time you have repeated this sentence today."
"Hey, is it?" Iyeas scratched his cheeks with his fingers a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and said with a smirk: "I didn't notice it, but I was just too impatient, don't you want to hurry up, Shayou?" Go to the imperial capital to join the army and win the title of meritorious service to save our hometown?"
"According to the leader of the caravan, it should take another three days to reach the imperial capital by normal horseback riding, but the speed of the caravan carriage is relatively slow, so let's say less than seven days."
Shayou shrugged her shoulders and poured a lot of cold water on Iyeas.
It was the first time for the two of them to leave Tata Village, and they had no money, not even horses.
In Shayou's opinion, it is very lucky to meet a caravan that is just about to deliver goods to the imperial capital, but what if it takes a little more time?
"Ah, is it still that long? It's far away from the day when I, Lord Iyeas, step on the battlefield to show my might, hey."
Iyeas sighed. Boys of this age are very active. It is really unbearable for him to maintain the life of guarding the caravan every day.
"You guys, did you mean to go to the imperial capital to join the army?" Another mercenary who was walking beside the two suddenly interrupted and asked.
He was wearing a dilapidated leather armor, with an iron sword with several gaps hanging from his waist, his hair was messy, and he was 30 years old at least.
"Yes, Uncle. That's what we plan to do. Is there a problem?"
Sha You seemed to see the indescribably complicated look in the eyes of the mercenary uncle, and felt quite puzzled.
"Emperor Capital, it's not a place worth pursuing your dreams, it's very dangerous."
When the mercenary uncle talked about the imperial capital, there was panic and fear in his eyes, as if he recalled some bad memories.
"Emperors are dangerous? Uncle, are you kidding me? It's the most prosperous imperial capital in the entire empire. How could it be dangerous? It can't be more terrifying than the dangerous species deep in the forest."
Iyeas curled his lips in disdain. The village head of Tata Village did not describe the imperial capital that way, otherwise the old man would not have allowed himself and Shayou to go out and earn enough money to save the village.
"Dangerous species? That kind of thing is not scary. Sometimes, the greatest danger actually comes from people..."
The mercenary uncle was not angry because of the young man's attitude, he still wanted to mention a few words to this ignorant young man with a trace of kindness in his heart.
Unfortunately, before the uncle mercenary finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sharp whistle.
"Enemy attack!"
"Hurry up! Protect the convoy!"
With the sound of shouting, many bandits with weapons and bows suddenly appeared from the jungle on both sides of the convoy.
The scattered mercenaries immediately drew out their weapons and stood guard around the carriage. They pointed their blades at the greedy bandits, raised their butcher's knives to meet them, and fought together.
The entire caravan is about 50 meters long, and there should be about [-] people including the drivers and mercenaries.
But the bandits said at least that there were 50 people hiding in the jungle and did not make a move. Counting the bandits who were fighting, there were a total of more than [-] people with force.
A group of bandits with hundreds of people, this is no longer a small fight, it should be a group of bandits who occupied a nearby hill and set up a village for the queen.
In the melee, Iyeas and Shayou cooperated very well.
Years of hunter life made the two of them uncomfortable in the face of bloody scenes, but they still haven't lost their combat effectiveness.
Iyeas stood in front of Shayou with a long knife in his hand and fought with the bandits rushing up, while Shayou used bows and arrows to cover and assist, and shot the screaming bandits one by one with extremely precise string control.
However, the excellent performance of the two little guys not only did not relieve the pressure they were under, but the casualties caused by them were noticed by the bandit group, and several experts immediately surrounded and killed them.
Facing these gangsters who have been licking blood all year round, Iyeas's momentum is three points shorter.
Faced with the siege of two people, she was confused, and Shayou was also suppressed by the opponent's archer, and she rolled on the ground a few times in embarrassment to avoid the arrows that were chasing.
"Shayou, are you okay!?"
From the corner of his eye, Iyeas noticed the bad situation of his companion.
