Chapter 62: The Chaotic Assassination in the Chaotic Night
"Bang bang~" The wooden window of the hotel was knocked from the outside.
Jahira in the room made a "shhh" gesture and stood up at the same time as Chanem.
This is a slightly larger room, divided by wooden boards into two rooms, where Jahira, Khalid, Chanem and Imon live. They then pulled out their weapons and stood behind the two of them. Four sword groups surrounded the window in a semicircle, alert.
To be honest, something happened to them now, which made them feel weak from the bottom of their hearts, and a little bit of trouble would make them tremble.
They also just finished their adventure in the Caped Forest and arrived at the Baldur Gate yesterday.
In the Caped Forest, the adventure of the Sword Group was magnificent - they went deep into the spider's nest to help a brother find the remains of his brother; they clashed with the dark druids, but because of their common enemy, the Iron Throne, they finally reached a cooperation; they broke into the Pterodes' nest for the reward of the Temple of Dawn, but unfortunately they did not hunt the Pterodes. They had to give up after just having an argument with the bustling Pterodes hunters; in the end, they rushed into the mine opened by the Iron Throne in the Caped Forest, killed Davanen, an important cadre of the Iron Throne, and obtained some evidence of the Iron Throne planning the Iron Mine Crisis, liberated the slaves who captured and enslaved the mine, and finally dug up the underground river and completely flooded the Caped Forest mine - there is no time to pump water there, so don't think of mining again!
Yesterday, everyone from the Sword Group arrived at the Baldur Gate in the afternoon.
Then the group separated. Jahira and Chanem went to Yanquan's headquarters and handed over the evidence of the mine to Yanquan's deputy commander Ska in exchange for the reward for this mission. Khalid and Aimun booked a suite in the "Three Old Wooden Buckets" hotel to prepare for the rest of the next period of time. After Danahe entered the city, she received a letter from a small church that seemed to be from her hometown. Then she pulled Minsk to say goodbye to everyone in the team and hurriedly left the city.
Of course, there was also a troublemaker who was stuck halfway, a bard named Atoas Cron. He used sweet words to touch the sympathy of Jassilla and Emon, and agreed to take him to the Borde Gate and help him rescue his lover - said to have been separated by the Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield, and the daughter of Anta Silver Shield, who is currently imprisoned at home, Shi Ji.
So they agreed, and they did. The news that cute and overheard made everyone frown - to put it simply, this was actually a kidnapping. Any lover or something is nonsense. The actual situation is that they assisted the romantic villain Ados Kron, who kidnapped Anta's daughter Shi Ji from the Duke's mansion. Now Ados takes Shi Ji out for ransom, and the four of them sit here to discuss countermeasures... Actually, they really want to call the police!
"Bang bang~" the knock sounded again.
"Who?" several people looked at each other, and then Chanem asked.
"I am Anne, open the window!" A female surnamed outside said in a low voice. Chanem instantly outlined the heroic posture of the female knight in his mind. He directly took off the window latch and pushed it away. Before he could see Anne's figure, the figure flashed and Anne had already jumped in.
Although she had only met Anne in the Flame Fist yesterday, Chanem still couldn't recognize her at first sight. Now Anne is wearing a standard armor of Flame Fist, which is still a man's style. The cloak on her back is bulging upwards, and you can tell at a glance that there is something hidden. If Anne hadn't taken off her equally ugly helmet, Chanem wouldn't dare to confirm that it was her.
As allies who have fought side by side in the Sharp Tooth Forest, they have an indescribable sense of trust between each other. Jahira and Khalid both put away their weapons when they saw it was Anne.
"That bastard Lu Yuan didn't follow him, right?" Jahira seemed to remember something and asked with a bad look. Chanem's awkwardness made her suffer all the hardships along the way. She never knew that this friend's adopted son was such a stubborn person. Until now, she and Kalid could not dispel Chahnem's idea of talking to Shafrock. But he would not buy a bouquet of flowers now and go to the Iron Throne to openly visit.
"There are...sick people, Ja...Jahira, yes...yes..." Khalid saw Anne's cloak bulging high, as if she was carrying a person on her back, and blood was leaking from it.
"Thank you, Khalid, not A Yuan." Annie knew what Khalid wanted to say. Despite his fierce words, everyone still treated Lu Yuan as a companion.
"Put it here", Aimeng opened the innermost bed. She wisely guessed that since Anne came in through the window, the wounded had 80% problems, so she directly pointed to the most hidden bed.
"Let me take a look...Ska!!" Jahira lifted Annie's cloak and saw a middle-aged man fainting with a pale face, tied with Annie with gauze, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Because she immediately recognized that the man was the one they had met in Yanquan yesterday, Ska, deputy commander of Yanquan. At that time, Ska was still expressing his gratitude for their efforts and arranged their new tasks. Unexpectedly, just ten hours later, Ska became like a dead person.
She and Kalid took Ska off Anne's back and placed it on the bed to check it carefully. At this time, Ska had taken off all his armor and only wore underwear and shirt. Unfamiliar people could not see his identity. The wound on his back was wrapped with thick bandages, but due to excessive blood loss, he was still in a coma.
"My magic is used up. Please help him treat him. It has been half an hour since he was injured. I don't know how long he can last." Anne asked.
Jahira nodded and began to remove the bandages on Ska.
"Leave it to Jahira, there must be no problem." Aimon comforted her with Annie's arm.
"Aimeng, you look like you have grown up!" Annie relaxed a little at this time and greeted Aimeng whom she hadn't seen yesterday. Now Aimeng looks a little mature. She is no longer the chattering little girl, she begins to learn to observe and judge, and also comfort others. Chanem did not circle Annie like in the past. He was wiping the blood dripping from Ska, dealing with the traces of Annie when she came over.
Hearing Annie's praise, Aimon hid back a little embarrassedly, hugged her arm tightly, and turned back to the shy little girl. Although there was not much contact before, the sword group was resting on the friendly arm for half a month, Annie once again showed her aura of her sister and cut all the little girls under the unicorn's hooves.
Then, Anne said to Chanem with some embarrassment, "This time you may be involved in trouble."
Looking at Chanem's expression of confusion, Annie pointed out the window. At this time, there were shouts of the flame fist mercenaries searching everywhere, and the sound of whistles, which sounded like a group of people, gradually leaning towards this side.
Anne could only explain the situation as soon as possible, then sorted out her equipment and stood up, "Everyone, although they know each other very shortly, I trust you, just as you believe me. I will lead the pursuers away, and Deputy Commander Ska will ask you! He will be the key to our conspiracy to defeat the Iron Throne! If Commander Ska wakes up later, please ask him for advice and believe his arrangements. If the Commander... has not woken up, then please be sure to try to meet the commander-in-chief of the Flame Fist. Although he is seriously ill now and may be controlled by another deputy commander Anqiro Dusen, he is the only person who is trustworthy in the Baldur Gate and knows how to save the situation!"
"Take care" After saying that, Annie glanced deeply at everyone present, turned around and jumped down the window. She put on the Flame Fist helmet and turned her back to the search direction of the Flame Fist soldiers. She quickly left the "Three Old Wooden Buckets" hotel and ran towards the direction of leaving the city. So far, the Flame Fist uniform she was wearing can effectively cover it for a while.
Baldur Gate is a big city with all kinds of people and traces left by various strange things on the street. It is impossible to accurately track a person in the city. The Flame Fist soldiers could not do it either. They just searched the big and small hotels in the city in order according to the rules.
Not long after, a group of soldiers from the Flame Fist blocked the streets in front and behind the "Three Old Wooden Buckets" hotel. More than a dozen soldiers, led by a commander, searched each room one by one. The wooden buildings basically had no sound insulation effect. The various curses of the guests who were disturbed downstairs were clearly visible to Chanem.
"Hide Ska, we need to deal with these blood and gauze." As soon as Jia Xila finished speaking, a young man with a greasy head and a pink face pulled a beautiful woman into the room hurriedly. This is the biggest cancer of the team. The kidnapper Ados Kron and his kidnapping object, Shi Ji, the daughter of the Grand Duke, are the "double duo". Ados Kron used lies to deceive his teammates to help him kidnap, after all, there were not many clean minstrels. But this female duo began to think that she was elopement with her lover. After being told by Aimeng, she happily cooperated with Ados Kron and blackmailed the Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield together!
The two of them were hiding in the next room, planning how to divide the first ransom he had just arrived, but they saw the flame fist surrounding the hotel, which scared the two guys to come and ask for help.
"Anta? Silver Shield sent troops to arrest people! We must have had a traitor! Help us and hide us!" The slick man, Ados Cron, shouted anxiously, and did not notice that the sword group's faces turned black. The beautiful woman he was pulling, Shi Ji, the daughter of Anta? Silver Shield, nodded with excitement. Both of them did not notice that there was a wounded person lying on the bed. They hurriedly opened several cabinets that could not hide, and finally looked under the bed together...
"Ahhhh! Let go!" Ados Kron and Shi Ji screamed with their ears together. Jahira grabbed one ear and pulled two irresponsible men and women out of the bed - one was specifically cheating on teammates and the other was specifically cheating on their fathers. As expected, they were indeed a couple.
"Little Cha?" Jahira looked at Chanem.
"Leave it to me!" Chanem pulled out a dagger expressionlessly and said to Shi Ji, "You must hear every word I say next!" He gently slashed his nails with a dagger, like a real kidnapper. Shi Ji curled up in fear and nodded, "You, take off your coat and lie on the bed! Keep this person firmly blocking, don't let people discover it! If you are exposed..."
"It will definitely not be exposed! I promise!" Shi Ji looked at the dagger in Chanem's hand with a pale face, then looked at Ska, who was seriously injured in silently, and quietly pulled Atoas Kron's sleeve, "Is this your new kidnapping? Why is he so seriously injured?"
"Because you are disobedient!" Chanem interrupted viciously, "Why don't you take off your clothes quickly!"
Shi Ji looked at Adoss Kron, and he could only nod his head helplessly. Shi Ji Men took off his coat aggrievedly, lay on the bed, and covered her and Ska with a quilt. After seeing Chanem go to do something else, she quietly grabbed Adoss Kron's sleeve again, looked at her unharmed herself, and compared with Ska who was seriously injured and unconscious, she said sincerely, "Dear, you are so nice to me!"
"Haha, haha" Atoas? Cron smiled dryly.
"What are you laughing at?! And you! Come here!" Chanem turned his head, smiled coldly, raised his dagger and pointed at Atoas? Cron "I have a good mission for you!"
...
The door was open, and a small team of squadrons with Flame Fist walked in with a soldier. The soldiers looked at the room listlessly one by one, obviously not thinking that this would allow the Knight Anne to be found. His eyes were more on Jahira's breasts and Ai Meng's butt, which was a rare benefit in the near future, especially one was imposing and beautiful, and they all had a completely different temperament from those pretentious ladies in the city.
However, the non-commissioned officer with a gloomy face glanced around with sharp eyes. His nose moved gently and smelled a trace of bloody smell.
He looked around suspiciously, and finally his eyes remained on Atoas Kron's right hand, the bag of somewhat messy gauze, which was indeed covered with blood.
"What's going on?" He stared at the hand with fierce eyes. Ados Krone wanted to hide his arm behind him timidly, but was caught by the non-commissioned officer! "Are you causing trouble in the city?"
"No! Absolutely no!" Ados Cron immediately denied, but his face turned pale, making his words unconvincing.
"What are you afraid of without you?" The non-commissioned officer said disdainfully, but did not ask. "Show me your hand! A waste like you, even if you make trouble, will be a thief. This can't be hidden from my eyes of Dragon Dog! Humph, but today, the uncle has too much trouble and has no mind to pay attention to you! Your wound is bandaged wrong, pretend, right? Unlock it and show me! Tell you, don't hide anything from my Dragon Dog's eyes!"
Aimeng remembered that it was Chanem who replaced Ska just now and wrapped it around Atoas Kron's right hand! He couldn't help but get nervous, quietly holding the short bow under the table, ready to take action at any time.
But Chanem turned on the bystander mode with a plain expression, and there was no sign of taking action. Aimeng could only watch Atoas? Cron took apart the blood-stained gauze - revealing a long new wound... Huh?! Huh?! Huh?! Why are there really wounds? Aimeng turned to look at Chanem, and saw his brother shaking his head slightly, indicating that she was at ease.
"Well," the commander named Long Dog grabbed his arm and put it in front of him, and looked at it carefully, "Tell me how did this wound come about?"
"That was an epic battle! In the Caped Forest, we encountered the legendary sword spider! Have you seen the sword spider? It is eight feet tall and has eight legs, each of which is a sharp sword! I thought, it's broken! This time our team is going to explain here! What should I do? At this time, I was the only one who stood up! I said to them, you go first! I will break the back..."
"Fuck!" Long Dog interrupted disdainfully, and spitting star directly on the boastful Atoas? Kron's face, "Bad! Your sword spider has eight legs! There are eight more... Your sword spider lives together?! You don't even look at the hunting collection, you are embarrassed to come out to brag?! Tell you, everything can't hide from my Dragon Dog's eyes!" He raised Atoas? Kron's arm showed his wounds, and glanced at everyone with a sharp look. He was so nervous that he could not breathe.
"This was obviously scratched by the goblin's knife!" Long Gou threw his arm away disdainfully, "Little Devil, bragging is about to be divided into occasions! In front of my Long Gou's eyes, no scammers can hide!"
At this time, it seemed that the roar of the non-commissioned officer alarmed Ska, or maybe because Jahira's magic trick was effective, Ska, who was about to wake up, let out a moan. Just as the Dragon Dog finished speaking, the whole room was clearly heard...
Several people resisted the urge to take action immediately.
Long Dog's face became serious again, and he walked to Shi Ji's bed with big strides. "Who was calling out just now?!"
"It's me! It's me!" Shi Ji covered Ska's mouth hard under the quilt, "I'm screaming, ah~ah~ah~" After saying that, he pinched his throat and screamed a few more times.
But obviously, Long Dog didn't plan to let Shi Ji lie on the bed. His sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the quilt. "You scream so badly, don't you look like a memoir? Tell me your name!"
"I am not the daughter of the Grand Duke!" Shi Ji shouted with her eyes closed.
A cold situation...
Longgou glanced in the room with a serious look, making sure no one laughed out loud, especially the soldier he brought. After repeated confirmation, Longgou quietly breathed out, "Why are you lying on the bed?" He felt that he should change the topic and left immediately after getting the answer! He found that he could not see through the woman lying on the bed - it was impossible to get so fat and so stupid? This must be a big trouble!
"I was not kidnapped!" Shi Ji continued to scream with her eyes closed.
A drop of cold sweat penetrated from everyone's forehead...
Dragon Dog glanced at the room seriously again, and he felt that his life must have been ruined like this, and I would become the laughing stock of the Flame Fist this century... But when he looked at Chanem, he saw him pointing his finger at his temple and turned it twice.
"Sure enough! Just like I thought!" Long Dog cleared his throat and announced seriously, "Nothing can be hidden from my Long Dog's eyes - this new girl who has entered the industry, you have a problem with your brain!"
"I'm sick! I'm really crazy!" Shi Jiru confirmed after being pardoned.
"Hahaha, stop the team!" Longgou laughed happily and left the room with the soldiers. He could still hear him shouting flauntingly from afar, "I just said! Nothing can be hidden from my Longgou eyes!"
...The few people in the room wiped the sweat. Atoas Kron opened his teeth and cracked his mouth and sprinkled the bleeding-resisting medicine on the newly cut wound. Even so, he didn't dare to make any sound...
"Uh~! Where is this?!" Shi Ji was happy and was about to get out of bed, but she was let go of her mouth. Shi Ka, who was not sure of the situation, let out another loud shout!
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, there is no way. Now there is no need to infer that dragon and dogs now, everyone knows that there is something wrong. With the shouting, the surroundings are silent, and the sound insulation of the entire store is not good, and now it is even more quiet that even the sound of the cup falling in the lobby is clear.
Shi Ji covered Ska's mouth again with tears in her eyes, and looked at Chanem and kept shaking her head. This was not my fault, it was really not my fault!
In the corridor, more than a dozen footsteps came to this side in a neat way. Chanem picked up the staff, and Khalid drew out his sword...
"Captain! Captain!" Suddenly, a flame fist soldier on the street shouted all the way, running into the hall, and shouted at the non-commissioned officer Long Dog who was about to go upstairs again. "Captain! Found Knight Anne! She is on the Wanlong Bridge! The commander asked everyone to gather there immediately!"
Longgou looked at the direction of the upstairs, patted his scabbard again, paused for some time, and then ordered, "Get together! Target Yonglong Bridge!"
A group of people left quickly and buzzed.
"Xiao Cha, what did you think of just now? Your appearance... has changed a lot."
"It's nothing, just think about what Lu Yuan will do...it's clear at a glance." (To be continued.)
