Chapter 394 Conspiracy II

Looking at the smiling female assassin, Dean didn't give any answer, he held the [Sharp Thorn of the Wind] tightly in his palm, and stepped forward quickly. (starting)

The flame on the blade rises and burns with unmatched speed.

"For me, you always have such distrust - you don't even want to hear the content of the transaction, so you are ready to do it?"

The female assassin was still smiling. She looked at the flaming sword that was so close to her, and she didn't change at all because of such a threat.

"How many times have you killed me? Three times or four times? I can't remember! So, I don't care about one or two more times—but, are you sure? Rose news, you are going to give up like this? Isn't this the behavior a loyal knight should have?"

Being pointed at by the flaming long sword, even the coat was yellowed and distorted due to the high temperature, and there was a smell of feet in the air, but the female assassin still spoke in a calm manner.

[Nine Deaths for Substitutes] made her have no scruples most of the time.

Similarly, this is also her biggest hole card.

At least, she has no scruples for those who don't know the core secret of the "Nine Deadly Substitution Method".

Dean looked at the other party, the black face mask covered the other party's face, but the other party's eyes were so clearly visible - without any panic.

There is only peace, interest.

It seems to be waiting for his choice.

Such a passive feeling is undoubtedly quite bad, making Dean frown.

In the end, though, Dean withdrew his sword.

Regarding Grand Duke Emerald, Dean has no other choice——

"What deal?"

Dean asked.

"Sure enough, you are a loyal knight! Do you know? You look very much like that Emerald Duke..."

"Shut up, my patience is limited! Name your deal!"

The female assassin's words were interrupted by Dean's low drink.

The long sword he had just retracted was raised again.

"The temper is too grumpy, very similar to that black rose... well, well. You don't have the slightest sense of humor - if you trade, start later. Now you have bigger troubles to solve: Emerald Castle turret!"

The female assassin stretched out her white index finger and waved it in front of Dean.

"The turret of Emerald Castle?"

After a while, Dean's expression changed.

In Grand Duke Emerald's defense, apart from the magic cannons in the two subordinate fleets, there are also magic cannons in Emerald Castle, and they are more numerous and more powerful than the fleet!

And this is to completely incorporate Nangang into the defense system.

simply put. If Nangang is used as a fortification, then Emerald Fort is the artillery array with the greatest support, which can easily be behind and provide the greatest assistance for the entire Nangang.

Therefore, the entire Nangang is naturally within the range of the magic cannon of Emerald Castle!

If the magic cannon of Emerald Castle shoots at Nangang...

Undoubtedly, in normal times, this is simply impossible!

but now--

Bombard Nangang!

It doesn't seem so impossible!

It doesn't take much. Just a few salvos are enough to destroy the entire Nangang!

Even, as long as one shell fell into Nangang County. Then even if the reputation of Emerald Castle is ruined, even if there is Grand Duke Emerald, the defense system of the entire Emerald Castle and Nangang will collapse and fall apart. Facing the demands of the people, Grand Duke Emerald cannot ignore them.

And some caring people will definitely not let go of this opportunity to fuel the flames, so...the dismantling of the six magic cannons in Emerald Castle has become inevitable.

If it is said that Dean still had doubts about the involvement of the female assassin's 'Gao Sai, Xiti' in this operation, then. At this time, such doubts were greatly reduced.

after all. The defense system of Emerald Castle and Nangang, which are mutually horns, was destroyed, the biggest beneficiary. It is Gao Sai and Xi Di.

You know, in the "Blood Moon War" in Dean's memory, the reason why the Emerald South was able to persist for a month after the death of the Emerald Grand Duke was because of the existence of the magic cannon.

And once the magic cannon of Emerald Castle was dismantled.

The coming blood moon war...

Dean's face changed again and again.

"Hey! It seems that you have already guessed it, Dean! Their target is the magic cannon of Emerald Castle—as for which fort? I don't know!"

The female assassin looked at Dean pretending to be surprised, then shrugged her shoulders as if she was helpless.

And Dean didn't care about the opponent's pretentiousness any more, turned around and rushed out of the room—although Dean wanted to give the opponent a sword, but the atmospheric puppet that appeared silently behind the opponent made Dean very clear that this was not what a good choice.

If once entangled by the atmospheric puppet, the opportunity is delayed, and the people of the Pirate Alliance occupy the magic cannon of Emerald Castle...

The worry in his heart made Dean leave even faster.

Seeing Dean leaving in a hurry, the female assassin laughed again.

She gently raised her palm, and immediately, the gray air flow wrapped it up, and then rushed out quickly.

...

A roar before.

It was the lurker of the Pirate Alliance, the sound of blowing the drawbridge winches and city gates of Emerald Castle to pieces.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the guards of Emerald Castle and the invading enemy fell into the most tragic hand-to-hand combat.

However, this did not panic the Emerald Castle guards.

Sufficient training and occasional actual combat made them face this sudden battle, and after only the initial panic, they became normal.

In particular, when they discovered that the incoming enemy had mediocre equipment and their own strength was not very strong, their morale rose rapidly.

"Raise the shield!"

The old butler stood at the gate of the Emerald Castle, the front line of the battlefield, commanding the guards of the Emerald Castle, and arranged the course of action in an orderly manner.

All the strong emerald guards raised the tower shields taller than a man, lined up confidentially, as if they were a wall, and rushed forward quickly.

And the pirates with different equipment in front. Immediately by such an impact, he was squeezed into the river water on both sides of the suspension bridge, immediately. It took a while to be bitten by some carnivorous fish inside. A large patch of bright red floated on the already turbid water surface, followed by corpses with only bones left.

"Hold it! Hold it!"

In the group of pirates, a few pirates who were obviously leaders roared loudly.

At the same time, the scimitars and long swords in their hands chopped down several pirates who ran back from the suspension bridge to the ground.

"Hold it all!"

Several pirate leaders brandished bloody weapons. Roaring loudly.

Under the effect of killing one to warn others, the pirates who had just retreated rushed towards the suspension bridge again, layer upon layer, relying entirely on the superiority of their numbers, to stop the speed of the shield wall from advancing.

"Raise the gun!"

The old butler waved his hand.

Immediately, the emerald guards who had been following closely behind the shield wall stabbed the spears in their hands along the special semicircular gap left by the tower shield.

Puchi, puchi...

Amidst the piercing sound of metal spear points and flesh and blood, those pirates who had just stopped the shield wall from advancing. It fell down like cutting wheat.

The shield wall, whose speed had slowed down slightly, sped up again.

However, at this moment. A firework rose from the Emerald Castle——

Snapped!

The white fireworks bloomed directly under the night sky, forming a huge shape with the arm bones crossed at the bottom and the skull at the top.

Skull flag!

People subconsciously looked up at this peculiarly shaped firework, thinking involuntarily in their hearts.

And the skeleton fireworks in the night sky were as dark as a curtain, and quickly dissipated as they bloomed. However, the dissipating skulls were erratic and twisted.

as if. The soul of the dead let out a stern laugh like a chill.

Seeing the gradually disappearing signal, the old butler raised his hand. The guards of the Emerald Castle on the wall near the castle gate immediately bent their bows and set arrows, ready to deal with the pirates' counterattack.

but. To the surprise of the old housekeeper, those pirates who were still rushing to kill them retreated.

Just like the sudden appearance before, they retreated suddenly again.

"This……"

Inexplicable uneasiness began to appear in the heart of the old housekeeper.

And when the ring on his left index finger gave off unknown vibrations, the old butler's face immediately changed.

"Oops! Fort!"

The old butler let out a low cry in his heart, then he raised his hand and rushed towards the fort with two teams of elite guards.

...

Dean, who was advancing towards the fort, glanced up at the fireworks in the shape of a skull flag, and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

And the gradually dissipating shouts made Dean even more uneasy.

Immediately, the already fast speed picked up even faster.

Whoosh!

An arrow came suddenly, and Dean, who had just accelerated forward, had to stop.

"Your Excellency Dean Ken Zelgon, this road is dead!"

A tall, slender man in a white robe with a handsome face, holding a big bow as tall as an adult man, slowly walked down the steps not far away.

With the movement of the opponent's steps, the long blue hair exudes a very strange bright color under the night sky.

"Korco?"

After taking a look at the other party, and seeing the handsome and feminine face and the long blue hair, Dean asked directly.

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Zelgon!"

Korko bowed slightly, and placed his right hand on his chest. His posture was elegant and perfect. Coupled with his handsome face, he was really as attractive as a nobleman.

If there are some ladies around, they will definitely let out a soft exclamation.

However, what Dean can give to the other party——

Clang!

The long sword was unsheathed.

Decadent nap, overslept... When I opened my eyes, it was four o'clock--it was two o'clock to the watch... I didn't hear the alarm or anything! (to be continued)
