Chapter 313 Another Assassination
"The soul of His Majesty the King has gone after the phantom deer, and the murderer who assassinated him has also suffered the same fate. Now the inner palace of Mesot is in chaos, and the hope of holding on to the city of Akik is very slim. We can no longer sit still and wait for death. "

Several military officers gathered on the city wall of Yakik. They had already known the news from the inner palace of Mesot. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, they deliberately blocked the news and controlled the spread of the news to a few people. The middle of the top ranks.From the news of the king's assassination, they have already seen that the city of Aquique may not be able to hold (although the daily catapult bombardment is also telling them this news), they are not willing to join the city To be buried with them, in order to survive, they were willing to open the city gate and surrender to the Winsters outside the city.

But their willingness to surrender does not mean that their immediate superiors are willing. The military chief appointed by Croft as the city defense officer is loyal to the royal family. Open, surrender is nowhere to be talked about.

"If we want to surrender the Winsters, we must first deal with the military chief Bakani. He is the most loyal lackey of King Croft. He will definitely not agree to Kaesong's surrender." An officer said, when he spoke, He deliberately lowered his voice, and carefully glanced at the soldiers standing guard in the distance.

"Follow the example of Rexiding and kill him." Another officer whispered, a murderous aura came out following his words, and several people around looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Assassinate?"

"That's right, only by killing him can we open the city gate and surrender to the Winsters without hindrance." The officer said, "After Bakani's death, we are the ones who have the most power on the front line. Think about it carefully." Think about it."

"I agree with what Amanhat said. As long as Bakani dies, we will have the greatest power. The people in Mesot's inner palace are busy choosing a new king, and have no time to care about the front line."

"I also agree. You are not unaware of the situation in Yajik City. There is not much food left in the warehouse. If we don't surrender early, it will be too late when the food is gone."

The officers echoed again and again, agreeing to the proposal of the officer named Amanhart, and then they turned their attention to the oldest officer, who was also the highest among them.Sensing the gazes of others, the old officer sighed and said, "Bakani has returned to the inner palace of Mesot with his cronies now. We can only make preparations at this time, otherwise we will lose our chance."

"Understood." Everyone responded excitedly. Although the old officer could not influence their decision, getting his support was the best result.

Then, the officers continued to discuss for a while, and then dispersed, called up their subordinates, and asked them to put on armor in advance, fully armed, and ready for battle.Under the urging of the officers, the soldiers felt a little uneasy, and coupled with the faint sound of wind coming from the city, they felt that a storm was about to come.

In the evening, the military chief Baccani returned from the inner palace of Mesot. He asked at the venue to make King Croft's young son the new king, but was rejected by everyone. One by one spurned the late King Croft, and even threatened to abolish Bakani's military commander, but they didn't know who gave them the benefits they had gained over the years.

Bakani was very angry, but he could do nothing about it. The damn Winsters were surrounding their capital, and they might attack the city at any time. If Bakani pulled the army away from the front line and entered the inner palace of Mesot Threatening those nobles, although his request can be met, but no one knows whether the Winsters will take the opportunity to attack.

Just as he walked to the city gate to inspect the line of defense, a soldier cautiously walked up to him, half-kneeled on the ground, and reported: "Master Chief of Military Affairs, Mr. Benota invited you to the meeting room, saying that he wants to Things need to be discussed."

"Benota?" Bakani was a little puzzled, but he still said to the soldier, "Lead the way, I'll go with you."

"As ordered." The soldier promised, then stood up and led Bakani to the conference room in the military camp.A few minutes later, they came to the meeting room, and there were several heavily armed soldiers standing outside the door. Bakani didn't notice anything wrong, because it was like this at ordinary times, so he stepped into the room with his head held high, but the guards behind him were Was stopped and not allowed to be put in.

Bakani looked at the two soldiers who blocked his guard, thought for a while, and said to his loyal guard: "You wait for me outside, I will go out in a while."

"Yes." The guards took orders, then turned and stood outside the door.

When Bakani walked into the meeting room, the door was closed with a creak. There were several military officers sitting at the round table in the room. When they saw Bakani walking in, they all got up and said hello to their immediate superiors. Bakani Nodding his head, he walked to the main seat naturally, and sat down. He looked at the old officer Benota in the crowd and asked, "Benota, what do you need to repay for inviting me here?"

"It's about the Winsters." Benota said respectfully, and then signaled the officer named Amanhart to come forward, and then said: "Let Amanhart tell you the story."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Amanhart walking forward, holding a scroll in his hand, walked to Bakani with a natural expression, saluted, and then slowly unfolded the scroll. In an instant, a cold light shot out from the inside of the scroll and shot into Bakani's eyes, causing him to close his eyes subconsciously. Then, he only felt a sharp pain from his chest to his whole body, and he opened his eyes in horror. Seeing a dagger stuck in his chest, and the owner of the hand on the handle of the dagger is Amanhart!
"Amanhart, you..." Bakani said, holding back the pain in his heart. Before he finished speaking, he saw the officers who had gathered together drew their sabers from their waists and surrounded them. With an indifferent expression, he stabbed blood holes one after another in Bakani's body mercilessly.

The blood quickly stained Bakani's whole body red. The military chief who was loyal to King Croft uttered the most miserable screams. He tried his best to push away the traitors around him, but he didn't After being able to complete this action, he fell down with a bang, and blood foam continued to ooze from the corner of his mouth. Before he lost consciousness, what he heard was the sound of killing outside the house...

When the door of the conference room was opened, and the blood-stained officers filed out from the inside, what came into view was the corpses all over the place. The guards who followed Bakani were all killed on the spot, and no one survived. leave.

"Send the order to clear out the remnants of Bacani's party. At the same time, open the city gate and send envoys to the Winsters." Benota said coldly.
