Chapter 600: Peers

Views:

"The triplets selected by their empire have lived together, practiced together, and performed tasks together since they were young. In terms of cooperation, no one in the world can be stronger than them." Larvin did not look back at the three assassins, but simply said After a brief introduction, it was obvious that Larvin did not want Regnar to know too much about the details of the Supervision Office. The Fat King waved his hand: "You three, come and see the Director of Military Intelligence."

The three of them walked up to Regnar at exactly the same pace, and then knelt down on one knee one after another from left to right.

"My subordinates will kill the gods."

"This subordinate is heartbroken."

"My subordinates will kill their souls."

"I've met Lord Regnar."

Regnar looked at the three of them and was even more surprised. The three of them walked in unison, and even the time and intonation of each person's words when they introduced themselves were almost exactly the same. I'm afraid Larvin is right. These three people are of the same mind. They understand each other's thoughts without even making eye contact. They really cooperate perfectly.

What's more, after these three assassins showed their sharp edges a little at the beginning, their auras immediately completely converged into their bodies. If Regnar hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have been completely unable to detect the existence of these three people if he relied solely on perception. At this point, Regnar was sure of one thing. If there was a head-on confrontation, Regnar was confident that he would kill all three of them with his attribute abilities. But when it comes to sneak attacks and assassinations, these three people are of one mind. With perfect cooperation, the threat of a sneak attack may not be matched by Regnar's flattery.

"Very good, the three of them will become the strongest trump card to assassinate Nidhogg." Regnar nodded and said to Larvin.

"It's just..." Larvin hesitated before saying: "Nidhogg is an eternal wizard who has shocked the past and present. If we only rely on the four of you, we may not be able to succeed."

Mel, who had always kept silent, spoke: "Your Majesty, please rest assured about this. Nidhogg's is inextricably linked to the old man. Naturally, the old man will also go on this trip."

"In that case, there is Master Lao Mel." Ralphin solemnly bowed to Mel. Then, the Fat King turned to Regnar and asked, "When are you going to leave?"

"in three days."

"So fast?" Even Ralphin was surprised this time.

"We have to be quick. In the face of Nidhogg's powerful power, the few of us are afraid that it is still not enough, so we can only take it by surprise. And now we have no way to determine whether Nidhogg is also watching us, so we can only We can set off as soon as possible. Only by taking things by surprise can we have a glimmer of hope. If we let Nidhogg prepare for this, everything will be over." Regnar said calmly.

"In that case, I understand." Ralphin nodded, and he said to the three Supervisory Office assassins: "You three, from now on, must absolutely obey Regnar's orders, even if they ask you to kill each other. You must do the same without hesitation, do you hear me clearly?”

"Understood." The three of them said in unison, and their emotions were uncomplicated.

"Xiao Lei." Ralphin walked to Regnar and said sincerely: "I know that the disaster on the mainland is not a fatal threat to strong men like you who are already at the top of the continent. Can you stand up today? Come on, on behalf of the empire, thank you."

"Your Majesty, please don't offend this boy." Regnar quickly helped Ralphen up, who was about to kneel on his knees. He looked carefully and saw that the fat king was no longer as rosy as he was half a year ago. The originally oily skin had become dry and wrinkled, and the thick dark circles under his eyes also showed that he worked hard day and night. It is conceivable that Larvin was exhausted mentally and physically in order to cope with this disaster.

But even so, Larvin did not ask Regnar to assassinate Nidhogg a few months ago, because he knew that the possibility of the assassination succeeding was extremely slim. What's more, Regnar's strength at this time is enough to transcend most of the restrictions of the empire. If Regnar refuses, then there is no use even if Ralphin comes to beg him. If they can't beat him and run away, does the empire still have the energy to find a hidden level 19 assassin

Thinking of this, Regnar suddenly felt that Ralphin was really good to him. When he first entered the Military Intelligence Agency, in addition to the help from Alex, Annelotte and others, Larvin also helped him a lot overtly and covertly. And after Regnar really gained a foothold at the top of the empire, Larvin never deliberately suppressed the Military Intelligence Department. Even if he and Joffrey had great conflicts, Larvin never deliberately took sides. his son.

Regnar has always been grateful and moved by this. Therefore, he also said sincerely to Larvin: "Your Majesty is also kind to the boy. Now that the empire is suffering from disaster, the boy cannot stay out of it. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will do our best to assassinate the boy this time to get rid of this scourge!"

Ralphin nodded and said sincerely: "Please do everything."

For the next two days, Regnar had been discussing the assassination plan with Meier and the three assassin brothers. After countless discussions, they still came to the same conclusion: if Nidhogg was prepared for everything, then any carefully designed killing situation would become a joke under his power. So they can only use the simplest and most direct way to assassinate.

To put it simply, Mel, a high-level mage, will be the main force in the head-on confrontation with Nidhogg. Next, Regnar will act as a pseudo-assassin to conduct a sneak attack. If the calculation is correct, Regnar's assassination will naturally not work. After both of them are defeated by Nidhogg, the three Assassin brothers will suddenly take action when Nidhogg's vigilance reaches its lowest point, and the three of them are the real protagonists of this assassination.

It took two days to finalize all the plans, but the next night, the unexpected and reasonable person still came to the door - Annelotte.

"No! You said you can't go at all this time!" Regnar's attitude was very firm, and he was also a little annoyed. He had kept it secret from her for so long. Where did this girl get the news in the end

"My legs are on me, you have no control over where I want to go." Annelotte rarely used a cheating tone, but at the same time, her attitude was also very firm.

"You..." Regnar was so angry that he almost jumped up.

"Let's go together!" Another person walked in, which surprised Regnar.

"Lisanna?" Regnar saw Alexander's fiancée stunned for a moment, and then he pointed at Annelotte: "Did you tell her?"

"Yes." Lisanna admitted frankly: "I happened to pass by His Majesty's study at that time, so I heard something."

"No, neither she nor you..."

"Listen Regna, this is neither your problem alone nor something you can bear alone." Lisanna interrupted Regna and said without giving in: "Anne has already told Now that you’ve seen how terrifying Nidhogg is, do you think you can win with just a few of you?”

"Is it enough to include you?" Regnar asked in return.

"At least the probability of success is higher." Lisanna said: "I understand your desire to protect Anne, just like Alexander sent me back to Melinder before. But why did I agree at that time? It was because I I know that even without me on the front line, Alexander will not be in any danger. It is enough for him to face it alone. But the situation is different now. We all know that even if Master Mel is added, you will not have enough strength to face Ni. Dehog, you need the power of me and Anne. If you really want to protect Anne, then let us go together, otherwise, you are just irresponsibly dying! After you die, it will be over, but what about Anne? What to do? What to do with Irene? What to do with little Yi Ni? I repeat, if you really want Annie and the others to survive, then let us go together. This is our only chance, and we must seize it at all costs Live it!”

"..." Regnar was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Have you asked Master Mel?"

"I have just convinced the teacher." Annelotte waved her hand to dissipate the magic of the sound transmission technique, and then the girl said as if she was deliberately irritating Regnar: "My legs are on me. If I want to go, you can't stop me." Stay with me."

"..." Regnar looked at Annelotte's somewhat angry look and showed a wry smile: "Okay..."
