Views:

Outside Kathmandu, in the Drakeel barracks, Allaire is planning with Michael and Lyle when and how to attack the city. But the branch owner of the Assassin branch in the city arranged the specific matters of the assassination in that humble tavern.

"Brother Petel, you two will go out of the city tonight and go to the army of Drakeel to kill their coach Alaire Drakeel. This is a task of 10 million gold coins. You must be careful. According to intelligence, there are always four Tier 3 peaks around Alaire protecting them. Of course, for a few Tier 3 as your senior assassins, you won’t be afraid of them, but you must be agile. Clean, don't waste time, after all, mice will kill the cat if they are in a hurry, understand?"

"Okay, branch lord, don't worry. Thinking about the skills of our brothers, a few small third-order peaks are nothing at all?" said the slightly smaller person among the Peter brothers. .

"Brother, as soon as the branch lord finished talking about being careful, you started going crazy. Remember to be in our line. Once you lose your care, then you will not be far from death." The older man said to him. His brother said.

"That is, Yala, when will you be able to be as calm as your brother, you can go out alone to take up tasks. If you don't depend on your personality, I really don't worry about letting you take on tasks that are too dangerous. "

"Branch Lord, Yala understands, don't worry. My habit will be changed. I will definitely take my brother as my goal and learn from his calmness." said the slightly smaller assassin called Yala.

"Well, I look forward to your change. Okay, go down and prepare. I have asked Harold to prepare the specific information for you. Let's take action after careful study."

After saluting the black-robed old man, the two walked out of his room.

Came to the front cabinet and smiled at the shopkeeper named Harold. The shopkeeper knew what the two of them wanted, took out a thick file from under the cabinet and gave it to the older person. Said: "Here, Brother Peter, this is where the distribution of Alair’s camp and Alair’s central army tent, as well as the protective position around him are marked, please analyze it carefully. One hundred thousand army It will be very difficult for Yingpan to sneak in, so be careful."

"Haha, don't worry, Uncle Harold, our brothers will be careful." said the older man.

"Okay, I still believe you, Fendt. It's better to be careful, finish early and come back well." Harold said.

"Okay, we will, then Harold, we'll go back first. See you later." Fendt smiled at Harold and then took his brother Yala to leave the humble tavern.

In the Drakeel camp, Allaire was sitting in his big tent, and Michael was talking about his attack plan. "Prince, although we are accompanied by a hundred thousand troops, we are stationed at three gates, and our forces are really scattered. In terms of attacking one gate, thirty thousand soldiers is not enough, and our siege equipment is still lacking. , The engineering battalion is rushing to work, but for this, the 30,000 soldiers are still a little weak?"

"Delling, don't know what's going on over there?" Allaire asked.

"After Delin took the Sulai Special Pass, let Zizige guard the Xiongguan Pass, and he has led 50,000 troops to Tongguan to form an internal and external situation with Sandro. It seems that there will be good news soon. "Lyle replied.

Just as Lyle's words fell off, the small school ran in outside the door: "Return to Your Royal Highness, General Delin's message."

"Get it quickly, I see." Allaire said impatiently.

The small school passed the letter in hand to Lyle, from Lyle to Allaire.

After reading the letter, Allaire laughed a lot, and sent the letter to Michael and Lyle to see. After reading the letter, they were also determined. Michael said, "General Delin is really good. Now three The barriers are all in the hands of our army. It seems that the people in the city still don’t know about this, and presumably the 20,000 horses of General Carl and General Fanta will also arrive in the next two days. Can talk too much."

"Yes, Alaire, it's better to let Delin rush to lead the team to support you. It's always good to have the upper hand."

"I think it's better to let him rest in Tongguan for a while. After all, his side is not as easy to win as ours. Two provinces and two passes are not easy, so let them take a good rest. The soldiers will have the energy to fight tough battles after recuperating, isn't it." Allaire was in a good mood at this time, but still didn't want Delin to intervene in the offensive and defensive battle of the royal capital.

Lyle could hear it, although on the surface the words were very sympathetic to his subordinates, as long as you figured it out carefully, you would know what it meant. Lyle also shook his head helplessly, but there were some unknowns in Michael's place. The welcome sound accorded with Allaire's compassionate subordinates, and he would surely make his ministers grateful.

After arranging all the offensive affairs, Alaire returned to his back to rest. Michael and Lyle walked out of the Chinese army's tent together. Lyle suddenly felt tight but didn't know what was going on, so he confronted. A small school in front of the door told him to find the head of Allaire's guard regiment. This guard regiment is a special force composed of three tiers.

Soon the head of the guard team came to Lyle and Michael. Lyle had already told Michael about his situation. Michael also felt that he was careful, so Lyle shared his concerns with his guards. The head of the regiment said for a while and asked him to arrange a few careful but knowledgeable hands to protect Alaire. The head of the regiment agreed without hesitation and immediately proceeded to make arrangements. Lyle and Michael were relieved and returned to their own camps.

A small house in a dilapidated alley in the slums of Kathmandu. At this time, it was already in the middle of the moon, and it was late. The moon was shining brightly, and the moonlight shone like a line into this small windowless room, where the Peter brothers were changing clothes. A black stab customer, after smearing the anti-moonlight reflex powder, the moonlight won't show up in the dark no matter how shining it is. This is a special medicine for assassins. This slum is less than three minutes away from the city wall, which is very convenient. Moreover, after exiting this section of the wall, it is on the left side of Allaire’s camp. After a day’s analysis by the Pittel brothers, and according to some cloth It seems that it is the weakest point, so the place that I chose to sneak into is there.

After everything was cleaned up, the two brothers ran towards the city wall because of the moonlight. The closer you get, the more excited you are. This is what the assassin should feel, and under the night it is their favorite moment for people living in darkness. Isn't it true that the moon is black and the wind is high on the night of murder? Although it is the bright moon and thousands of miles as a mirror, this is the time when the real assassins like to haunt. Only those incompetent assassins will choose the kind of pure stealth in the dark to carry out sneak attacks, like the Peter brothers have entered Assassins in the ranks of high-level assassins, sometimes Da Ming's assassination will only arouse their enthusiasm and make them feel very interesting.

Take out the prepared clues, throw the iron hook upwards to hook the battlements on the city wall. After the two of them pulled the clues and felt that there was no problem, they each led their clues to climb up the wall, at a speed different from when they were on flat ground. It's no different, they all walked fast, and soon they were on the city wall and looked down.

Although they got the distribution map of Allaire's camp, they looked down from the wall, but outside the city was a banner display, the camp was seated, stretched for two miles, and the camp of 30,000 people was also a very spectacular scenery. Ah. Although some torches can be seen in Allaire’s camp now that they are constantly moving, the Peter brothers know that it is the patrol soldiers patrolling the camp, and there are also some lights in the individual tents, maybe there It is the place where some high-ranking generals are located. Of course, their task was to assassinate Allaire in the Central Military Tent, not to kill the middle and high-ranking generals of Drakeel's army, so they did not pay special attention to these things.

The two of them put the clue down again along the wall as they were when they just came up. After fixing it, they slid down the clue to the bottom of the city, shaking the clue and untied it from the city wall, and put it away with them. The two sneaked towards the barracks of Drakeel's army.

Alaire was reading a book in his back account. In the afternoon, he saw that there were a few good guards around him suddenly, so he called the guards and asked them. The head of the regiment said that both Army Division Lyle and Military Division Michael felt uneasy in their hearts that it would be harmful to the Lord, so I arranged for the prince to add a few more people to protect him. This is also the kindness of the military divisions. Please also pay attention to your own safety. Yes.

Although Alaire felt a bit fussy, but he couldn't refute what the two military divisions meant, so he had to leave it alone.

At night, Allaire always has a habit of taking a look at the war strategy and some of the predecessors’ tips for governing the country before going to bed. The military career brings him no longer a comfortable life, but unlimited pressure. His site is getting bigger and bigger, the population is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things that need his heart. Sometimes he will think whether he should find more people to work for him, everything is up to him. He had a final plan but it was very hard work, so he thought of learning from the previous sages, how they dealt with political affairs and military affairs, how can they better combine the two without letting themselves. Too tired, so he developed the habit of reading.

But after watching for so long, he still couldn't find a suitable solution for him. In desperation, he once asked him this question in a letter to Delin, but Delin's answer to him was to catch the big and let go of the small. The so-called grasping the big is to put the important affairs of the military state in their own hands, and put some of the rights that do not hurt the overall situation to their subordinates, so that they can do what they should do within a certain scope of authority, so that they can be liberated from it. Big things, no matter the small things, can also make subordinates see a glimmer of light reflecting their political achievements. After the province is saved, they will complain that the emperor holds power too tightly, which is a manifestation of distrusting them, and if you hold power too tightly, big things and small love If you have done it yourself, it is not far from your untimely death. If you want to live longer, you must know how to decompress yourself, but you can transfer the pressure to other people.

After Alaire read it, after merging Delin’s thoughts by himself, he brought it up to Lyle and Michael. This shocked the two of them. They didn’t expect Alaire. The prince would have such an idea, but it is a good thing for them. Not only will the power in their hands be greater, but there will also be some arbitrary rights that are conducive to the decision of some fleeting fighters, so Both of them agreed with the implementation of this method. To be on the safe side, Allaire discussed this idea with Bachelor Smar and Bachelor Carteride for advice. The two bachelors soon passed on their suggestions and their complete ideas on this method, which made Allaire very happy. Not only could he relax, but it would also make his subordinates more centripetal but unbelievable. This is a very good method, but he thought of the last paragraph in Delin’s message to him: “Although this is a very good method, it is easy to cause a big tail, so try to use it. It was during wartime, that is, during the period of recuperation after the unification of the world, otherwise the central government would not be able to interfere with the implementation of local policies and legislation in the long term, and then a new round of warlords would be formed. As a result of separatism, this method should be used with caution."

Every time Alaire thinks about this place, he will be very unceremonious and whisper that the last big thing is you, Delin, and this is the same tonight. After watching the internal policies of the previous generations of sages for a while, Alaire walked out of his own. Dading, looking at the bright and bright moon in the sky, he couldn't help but think of Nicole next to Delin. He felt very uncomfortable. He didn't know why Nicole chose Delin instead of him. On the theory of power and status. The future is better than this kid who came from nowhere. Why? He wanted to shout out at Mingyue, but he couldn't. He couldn't let people know his feelings for Nicole. Everyone knew about Nicole and Delin. If he shouted out at this time, his subordinates would know him. With this kind of thought in his mind, he couldn't imagine what would happen. Jun Nianchen's wife was a nasty thing, so he had to bury this emotion in his heart.

Just as Allaire lamented that the god of fate and love did not bless him, danger leaned towards him step by step.
