The Emerald Tower

Chapter 52 Ambushes and counter-ambushs (1)

Dean, who used to be an assassin and played all kinds of people in order to get close to the target, will never underestimate his counterpart: the thief.

In fact, within the thieves' unions everywhere, they would accept various assassination missions.

From high-ranking officials and aristocrats to common people, as long as the price is right, anyone can become the target of the Thieves Guild.

However, the Thieves Union will not object to assassins who run orders or play guest roles—they will get an objective commission every time they complete a mission, and they don't need to send their own people.

Such a thing, as long as there is no problem with the head, it will be accepted.

Of course, anyone who wants to eat alone will be hunted down by the local thieves' union-the kind that must be eradicated.

Therefore, as the person in charge of a thieves union, it is necessary to be ruthless, but it is not uncommon to be able to reach this level of audacity.

Dean was sure that even though Tyreland was a borderland, if the lord invited guests to a banquet and all the guests were assassinated to death, it would definitely be a shocking event; of course, as the lord, Tyre The baron would naturally become the biggest laughing stock in the aristocratic circle of the Emerald Kingdom.

As for why it is so sure that it is all the guests?

Naturally, it was because of the number of thieves exposed before - if it was just for him who was not well-known at the moment, it was obviously impossible to dispatch four good hands.

According to the rules of the thieves, for a target of his level, a team of two is the most suitable, or even a single person is possible.

But now, there were four of them—obviously, the reason why the thieves did this was to ensure that he would be 'assassinated' in the fastest way, and then, taking advantage of the chaos to complete other primary goals.

As for who is the primary target?

Apart from the boss of the 'Snow Bear House', Dean couldn't think of anyone else who could make these thieves spend a lot of trouble.

Of course, Dean absolutely does not allow this—whether it is the Baron Tyre or the owner of the Snow Bear House, he does not allow it.

Perhaps that Baron Tyre was a bit utilitarian and a snobbish eye, but the other party was still loyal and upright, and more importantly, the other party was still the most important part of his plan.

And that Huck is a member of the Knights that he has already booked, so naturally there is no room for loss.

Therefore, the enemy and the enemy have already been determined.

What's more, those thieves obviously listed him as one of their must-kill targets.

Under such circumstances, Dean would naturally not allow those thieves to survive—both public and private.

Of course, Dean still needs to do some things before that——

Siron, Ike, tell everyone to rest where they are!

Dean ordered.

Yes, Captain!

The two militia captains answered in unison.

...

In the evening, except for the brazier at the gate of the town and the torches in the hands of the patrolling soldiers, most of the town of Tyre was plunged into darkness—even if items such as oil lamps were not considered luxuries, they could be saved. If that is the case, the wives and eldest daughters of those hunters will not hesitate.

Therefore, dinner basically starts at this time.

And after dinner,

They fell asleep early - after all, the nights in Tilling are quite cold, and a warm bed is the best choice for most people.

However, it is precisely because of this that it is possible to show the brightly lit and lively place where Baron Tire is located in the eastern part of Tire Town.

The townspeople of Tire, who were supposed to go to bed early after dinner, were wrapped in thick animal fur and stood at the entrance of Tire town, waiting in whispers.

Obviously, they were all curious about the distinguished guest invited by their lord.

However, the crowded crowd did not block the entrance of the town.

Maintained by patrolling guards, the town of Tire maintained a fairly wide entrance, while the rest stood behind the guards.

Not only the locals in Tyreland, but also those businessmen from other places also had this curiosity, and they rarely huddled in the crowd regardless of the severe cold.

Of course, in addition to these people with genuine curiosity, there are also some people with malicious intentions mixed in.

A few thieves dressed in local costumes squeezed into the crowd just like locals, but the eye contact with each other told people that they were different.

It's just that there are very few people who can notice this kind of communication-of course, Dean is among the few people.

His team had already arrived two kilometers outside the town of Tire an hour ago, but Dean did not directly enter the town of Tire, but he left the team alone, sneaked into the town of Tire, and observed ——Dean didn't dare to be careless about the thieves who used poison crossbow arrows and daggers.

After all, the people in his team, except for himself who was sure to escape the sudden attack, were absolutely impossible, and those poisons, once they came into contact with blood, were obviously fatal without medicine.

As for the subordinates he selected, Dean was reluctant to let them die in such a meaningless assassination.

As for contacting that Baron Tyre?

Dean can be sure that once the large-scale search starts, these thieves will completely disappear without a trace.

The previous search by Baron Till, who found nothing, is the best proof - Dean will never treat him as a newcomer, and he has been able to persist for so many years under Baron Till's search, although The role of tax officials cannot be ignored, but it also shows that they have a very hidden lair that is not easy to be discovered.

What's more, with the personality of the Baron Tire, if he really went to contact and such a thing really happened; but if the other party got nothing again, it would probably make Baron Tire feel ashamed Big mistake—although there will be no retaliation, it will undoubtedly become more difficult for Dean to obtain the position of the head of the Feichalun Knights.

Therefore, solving it yourself is the best way.

Dean silently watched the thieves in the crowd. The number and position of the thieves allowed him to clearly grasp the thieves' intentions——

There are six people in total. Among the two mixed crowd, four of them approached the 'Snow Bear's Home'...After 'killing' me with a crossbow arrow, it will inevitably cause chaos. Huck will definitely come out to check, and then he will have to face four A personal ambush...

After scanning once again, Dean slowly withdrew from the crowd, and then quietly left Tire Town again, returning to the place where his subordinates were on standby.

Captain!

The two militia captains quickly walked out from the leeward side.

A total of six thieves, two of the crowd at the gate of the town, will come to attack me; the remaining four will be near the Snow Bear's House. Once there is a commotion in the crowd, they will take the opportunity to ambush Huck—the two A thief who attacked me, I will deal with it myself, and what you have to do is to hold these four guys... Siren, Chad, with your archery skills, there should be no problem!

Dean waved to the two militia captains and other militiamen, and began to draw a simple schematic diagram on the snow, and deliberately marked the approximate positions of the six thieves.

Then, Dean continued to exhort: Remember, you must be vigilant and be prepared to fight - but, except for Siren and Chad, the rest of you just need to be vigilant and don't take up your weapons , follow my instructions!

Chad, a young man who has proven himself in previous combat.

Apart from Chad, it is naturally Siren, a young man with knight qualifications, who has the best archery skills.

Yes, Captain!

The two young men replied solemnly.

Very good, let's go! They have been waiting for a long time!

Dean nodded, got on the horse, flicked the whip, and ran towards the town of Tire amidst the crisp sound of 'snap'.

For a distance of two kilometers, on the premise of traveling with a horse, even if it is only moving at a constant speed, ten minutes is more than enough——

Da da……

The sound of horseshoes clearly spread to the town of Tyre.

Immediately, the waiting crowd became restless. After waiting for a long time, they all wanted to see who was coming, but the two thieves stood still as if their feet were rooted; after all, they had found the best place to go. position, no need to move forward.

In fact, with guards on, the further forward the more dangerous.

After all, once there was a riot, the crowd not only crowded the guards, but also crowded them.

Therefore, the farther you are from the guards, the safer they are.

You know, they are just thieves, not dead men, so they don't need to be burned together.

The sound of horseshoes became more and more clear, and even the ground trembled slightly. When a group of cavalry appeared at the gate of the town, people noticed Dean at first sight—except for the posture of leading the horse, his body was from The uniform of the Central Knights is obviously very conspicuous.

The speed of the horses was very fast. Although they were approaching the gate of the town, they obviously had no intention of slowing down.

The horses didn't slow down until they passed the gate of the town, and when the horses really stopped, Dean and his mount had already appeared in the town of Tire.

Whoosh!

And just when Dean stopped, a crossbow bolt shot out suddenly.
