Chapter 186 Hired Assassin
The clothes and armor were displayed, and the murderous intent was soaring. The Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms are like the mighty sea water, layer upon layer, stretching as far as the eye can see. The early morning sunshine was like a trumpet announcing war. As the soldiers standing at the forefront narrowed their eyes slightly, fifty giant catapults slowly moved forward. The three kings, the upper-level leaders who had completely transformed into Paladin's vessels, stood in front of the formation. Seeing that they had reached the predetermined range, they waved their heavy arms in unison.
Boom boom boom! Huge boulders were immediately thrown out. The tall fortress opposite was smashed into pieces of stone. Some Nubian soldiers who had no time to escape were even thrown into the air and fell heavily to the bottom of the city wall. A large amount of blood poured out from the gaps in their armor.
"Ladder!" Three hundred pairs of ladder militiamen rushed forward immediately. Wearing cotton armor and simple helmets, they just rushed to the city wall like a wave, and were immediately ruthlessly blocked by the archers lined up on the city wall. Wails and shattering sounds started in the morning, and it wasn't until the setting sun emerged and the smoke rose that today's first round of testing attacks ended.
At this moment, in a castle a hundred miles away from the battlefield, King Sheen of Nubia, who was sitting at the head of the dining table wearing a gorgeous light golden armor and watching a group of vassals below enjoying the delicious food, was speaking. He looked at the battle report that had just been delivered quickly and remained silent. The long brown hair does not have any smooth luster, but is as scattered as boring iron wire. The beard that was newly hung last night was already black and blue again this morning. Although the bags under his eyes were swollen and his face was ashen, he could not hide his sharp eagle-like eyes.
"Hey..." Putting down the battle report gently, Sheen ignored the vassals who were discussing the girl and the territory, and said to a young man standing next to him: "They are attacking Kamado Fortress. With the defenders there, As far as food reserves are concerned, it will fall if we hold on for at most one month. Heinrich, what do you think we should do?"
And this young man, with golden hair like a lion, has an intoxicating face. The young man named Heinrich, who looked like an angel, lowered his head slightly and said: "The enemy has too many troops to face the enemy head-on. Our Nubian light cavalry is famous in all countries, and we can use the knights to attack on the side. Most of them are As long as the infantry continues to harass and attack, if you don't confront them head-on, the enemy's advantage will naturally become smaller and smaller."
"Well..." Xian nodded slowly. Although such tactics are against the spirit of chivalry and honor, the country will be destroyed if this continues. Let him die for such unrealistic things as honor.
But at this moment, Heinris suddenly wanted to say something but kept silent. He slightly glanced at these vassal lords. Sheen understood immediately, suddenly turned around, raised his hand covered with thick gauntlets, and slammed it on the table! Just hearing a bang, the food and wine on the table immediately shook slightly, and the lords who were chatting happily suddenly stopped talking. The originally lively hall immediately became quiet.
When Sheen saw these lords looking at him cautiously, he suddenly lost his temper. He waved his hand and opened the cup in front of him, making a crackling sound, and yelled: "You pigs who only know how to play with women and eat food! Get out, get out of here all!" The lords looked at each other and immediately stood up and left one by one. Only King Sheen and the special-status Heinrich were left in the originally bustling hall.
"Hey..." Seeing these lords leaving one after another, Sheen sighed helplessly again. You can only blame him for being suspicious. He did not cede any land near the border to any lord. Unlike other countries, they are always eager to give border land to nobles and guard the border for him. But Sheen was afraid. He was afraid that the nobles who valued their troops would rebel, and he was also afraid that his own army would be weak and unable to fight again in the long run. More afraid of betrayal! …,
The border is the most critical place, and Sheen has these key points firmly in his hands. Naturally, this is beneficial. The army that belongs to and only obeys him is the most powerful. None of the lords has a problem with him. And because the borders are all our own territory, Kasmina's aid was the reason why he rushed to the battlefield so quickly.
But now, the shortcomings have come. There are not many lords under his command who have military strength. Some are also defeated generals. He can only rely on him to hold up the scene! But the opponent's Three Kingdoms Alliance Army's military strength is three to four times that of our own! How can we fight this battle?
"His Majesty the King...His Majesty the King?" "Huh? Oh, Heinrich. After all, there is no one else here." Sheen said as he looked at this handsome young man. The latter bent slightly, lowered his voice and smiled: "If the leader of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces suddenly dies suddenly, how will the situation develop?" "What, do you have a plan?"
Sheen immediately asked in surprise, but the latter still maintained the hypocritical smile and said: "Although I am still young, I also know some people who specialize in this kind of business." "Is it credible? Don't do it. Smashed." Hearing this, Sheen's joy faded a little, and he directly picked up a bottle of wine and drank it. Seeing Sheen's behavior, Heinrich knew that he would do this, and his voice became lower and lower: "Has Your Majesty heard of the Hasassin League of Assassins?"
"Pah!" This sentence immediately frightened Sheen to open the wine bottle and fall to the ground. However, he looked at the smiling Heinrich in shock, as if he had taken a second look at this guy and frowned. He said very cautiously: "Hashasin? If the people in the Holy See know that I hired Hashasin's assassin, they will definitely label me a heretic! His Majesty the Pope will also excommunicate me, and a large number of The Knights Templar and the Inquisition will come to my castle! Heinrich, are you sure you are not harming me?"
"You are too nervous, my Majesty the King. Hashashin is known to be like this only when the mission fails. I can hire twenty professional Hashashin hounds, they are all masters in the art of assassination, Make sure that these princes and kings...'die of illness' without anyone noticing."
"Poison...a coward's method." "But it's safe." Heinrich argued with reason. Although Sheen despised such cowardly behavior, for the sake of his throne as king, he suddenly nodded and said: "That's it. As long as you guarantee that they won't expose me even if they fail, it's up to you." "Don't worry, Your Majesty the King. I hired them ten days ago, and they are the most professional. It is impossible and there is no chance to reveal any information to others."
"Oh?" Sheen was stunned for a moment, looked at Heinrich and said, "You are known as a chivalrous knight in the Engelland Empire. You are from the Crowned Stag family, which also values honor. But I didn't expect that you are really worthy. It deserves the word chivalrous."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. If you hadn't married my sister, I wouldn't have gone into this muddy water with no chivalry. After all, I am just a sister, and I don't want her to become a widow at such a young age." Listen. Seen snorted softly, stood up and left. Only the hypocritical voice came from behind: "Say hello to my sister for me..."
