Creed of the heavens

Lu Xiao sped up the pace of action, but he didn't lose his composure because of the time constraints. He still took the optimal route and passed the beam to the hanging skylight on the second floor of the library leading to the outside without anyone noticing.

As Lu Xiao expected, peeping out the window, judging by the similar building materials and structure, it can be basically confirmed that this library is one of the side halls of the Assumption Church.

Why are the assassin's tombs built near the church? Is this a malicious arrangement and intentional irony by Domenico?

Climbing out of the skylight lightly, Lu Xiao could already see the group of tin cans outside the church from the inside, and he successfully passed the tight defense arranged by Rodrigo.

Still going up and down, stepping on the top of the church complex to the top of the main church, through the stained glass dome of the Baroque building in the sky, Lu Xiao finally once again saw the Spaniard who was giving orders below.

After entering the room, Rodrigo took off the outer hood, revealing a smooth forehead with a red round cap.

While his head isn't exactly dry, it's not far off, and the hairline crisis is pressing.

Using a little trick to push open a gap in the skylight of the dome, Rodrigo's calm and commanding voice came to Lu Xiao's ears from afar.

"Francesco, I don't care about Mario Auditore's innocuous attack outside the city. What we need to worry about is whether there are assassins sneaking into the city with the attention attracted by the group of mercenaries."

It was Francesco de Pacci, who had been missing from Florence for some time, who was being lectured by Rodrigo.

As a local lord, he didn't have the usual domineering and irritable temper in front of Rodrigo. He lowered his head and hurriedly responded like a grandson.

"Yes, master, I have already sent people to check the defenses of each city gate, and the latest information will be available within half an hour at the latest."

"very good."

Rodrigo said in a flat tone: "Although I think you already know it, let me remind you again."

Walking slowly to Francesco who bowed his head to listen to the instruction, Rodrigo warned in a low voice: "You, and your spoiled son, don't underestimate the Assassin Brotherhood."

"Assassins are an ancient organization that has been able to compete with our Templars for thousands of years. Their background is by no means as weak as you imagine. Underestimating the enemy will pay the price."

"Yes! Yes! I will definitely remember it in my heart."

Although Rodrigo's voice was not loud, the sense of oppression in his words made Francesco's forehead uncontrollably sweat.

Rodrigo nodded slightly, stopped putting pressure on Francesco, turned around and walked slowly to a side hall: "It's good that you understand, I don't want to hear the news of the failure of the Paci family again, in case You should know my code of conduct."

"The Templars don't raise trash, try to show your worth."

Rodrigo finally left, Francesco let out a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

A middle-aged bald monk beside him also looked relieved, and then asked Francesco: "What should we do next? Repel Mario Auditore first?"

Francesco glared at the other party fiercely: "Are you an idiot! Didn't you hear the master say that you need to investigate the dangers in the city first?"

"The plan is about to launch, we can't leave any chance for the assassins to kill, activate all the guards in the city! I want to get all the safe returns in the shortest possible time!"

"Contact Florence and inform the personnel ambushing near the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore, and tell them to be patient, not to startle the enemy, and ensure that the plan will be launched with one blow."

Watching Francesco and others stride away, Lu Xiao glanced at the side hall where Rodrigo left. There were still several heavily armed soldiers standing at the small door.

Thanks to Francesco's loud voice, good information has been collected, and it's almost time to withdraw.

But before that

Lu Xiao turned her gaze back to the direction of the library, let's take away all the things that should be taken first.

Chapter 33 What is Wushuang (Tactical Backward)

The main task is completed, in order to hurry, Lu Xiao doesn't need to be so cautious in his next actions.

Judging from the height of the upper passage of the library, it is likely to be one of the countless towers in the city. Once the collection of the assassin's tomb is completed, Lu Xiao can use the leap of faith to quickly get rid of possible enemies behind.

Returning to the interior of the library through the skylight the same way, Lu Xiao stood on the beam and took off the modified short bow on his back, and first aimed at the three guards who were farthest from him.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Three arrows were fired in succession, and with the blessing of dynamic vision, the arrows accurately hit the foreheads of the three of them. Their brains were punctured, causing them to fall to the ground without even uttering a final scream.

Before the other guards had time to react, Lu Xiao kept his hands on, and according to the principle of going from far to near, he shot down the guards who were directly exposed to his shooting angle one by one.

One after another, one of his companions was shot down by arrows, which of course aroused the vigilance of the remaining guards.

One of the guards, who only wore light leather armor, ran out under the order of his superiors, preparing to run to the door to sound the alarm and call for backup.

"Whoosh!"

Before the messenger ran to the gate, Lu Xiao's powerful arrow pierced through his head wearing a leather helmet.

The rest of the guards finally captured Lu Xiao's position with this arrow, and hid behind the nearest bookshelves one by one to avoid being attacked.

Taking advantage of the guards behind the bookshelves blocking his view, Lu Xiao dexterously jumped forward on the beam.

When several guards carefully poked their heads out from behind the bookshelves, arrows shot from the other side hit their heads again.

Since this time it was an infiltration operation, it was inconvenient for Lu Xiao to put too many arrows in his quiver so as not to hinder the operation.

After shooting ten guards, his stockpile of arrows was exhausted, and there were only 6 enemies in the library hiding behind the bookshelves like frightened birds.

"Shh!"

Lu Xiao caught a trembling guard from above, popped out his Hidden Blade and jumped down from a high place, simply "smoothing" his fear.

"it's here!"

A guard at the back found Lu Xiao's trail, and warned his companions in a tense voice. At the same time, he raised his long sword and planned to attack Lu Xiao's back when he was not prepared.

In fact, Lu Xiao had memorized the opponent's position long before launching the falling assassination. The guard who thought he had succeeded was faced with a vicious attack like a scorpion wagging its tail.

The boot blade of the popped leather boot drew a bright silver light from bottom to top, and a thin red line was cut from the guard's chest to forehead.

The guard with dull eyes dropped the weapon in his hand with a clang, and bewitching red blood spurted out as he fell to the ground.

The other four guards had just bypassed the bookshelf where they were hiding. They happened to see the scene where their companion was killed miserably. The blood flowers flying all over the sky had different mental effects on the four of them.

One of them flinched and stopped, turned around and tried to run away.

Lu Xiao threw out the throwing knife that had been prepared from the inside of the gauntlet where the Hidden Blade was hidden, and pierced the back of the guard's head before his legs could use his strength to escape.

The two guards who rushed to the front had bravely raised their weapons and attacked Lu Xiao with a desperate attitude, roaring like killing a pig.

Although the last guard didn't turn around and run away, his footsteps slowed down significantly, obviously hesitating.

"clang"

The Hidden Blades of both hands popped out, relying on the higher agility, the one who came first pressed on the side of the weapons of the two men, deflecting their attacks with soft strength, so that the long swords of the two guards slashed at each other.

At the same time, Lu Xiao withdrew her hands slightly, pulled away a short distance and exerted force again, stabbing the front of the necks of the two people who were caught off guard.
