Civilization Guardian Front

The outer wall of the Palace of the Night is not particularly high. In addition to cost considerations, another reason is that the moat behind the wall is more than 50 meters wide. The only access is the bridge facing the southeast main street.

The bridge deck, which is wide and lacks shelter, is a place that is rarely brightly lit at night, and ten combat prostitutes guard the side near the palace to guard against the invasion of uninvited guests.

Only relying on the imperfect optical camouflage and the inability to eliminate both breath and movement and sound at the same time, Chios couldn't pass the bridge to the other side in a grand manner.

Fortunately, he never thought about going the right way in the first place, and he certainly didn't plan to swim.

Climbing over the wall, Chios didn't waste time recovering the two short soldiers, but accelerated towards the bridge.

His goal is the watchtower at the end of the passage in front of him.

In order to show the faction's strong financial resources, when the Ishtar family hired people to build the bridge, they raised the load-bearing beams on both sides to form dozens of columns with more decorative than practical significance, and added five gorgeous oblique columns in the middle. arch.

In this way, it does create a grand sense of grandeur as if walking under a super-large arcade when crossing the bridge, but it also gives Chios a favorable condition to sneak in.

As long as you climb up one of the tall columns without being noticed, you can use its flat top as a jumping platform to cross to the opposite side of the bridge.Unfortunately, the decorative square columns at the head and end of the bridge happened to be at the same height as the watchtowers on both sides of the gate of the city wall, and the distance between the two was only five meters.

Unlike the smooth wall below, due to the beautiful relief, the holes and windows designed for ventilation made it easy for him to climb to the edge of the highest point of the tower.

According to intelligence, there are usually two members in charge of the watchtower.

Looking through the arrow holes in the wall, he found that there was only one combat whore on duty on the top of the watchtower.

He didn't hear any footsteps from downstairs, so he should have been transferred in advance.

Right now, the only fighting whore didn't hold a weapon in her hand. The javelin and crossbow arrows were resting at her feet, and she was lying on the stone stack with her back to the palace, looking down at the night city scenery lazily.

Low vigilance, very good...

Chios applauded Aisha's arrangement in his heart.

In the name of patrolling the streets, increase the number of expatriates, reduce the number of on-duty towers from two to one, lose the role of mutual supervision, and send sisters with a more relaxed temperament to take charge of this post.

It can achieve the effect of lax guard without appearing too deliberate.

Slowly put his hands on the wall stack, relying on his excellent muscle control, he propped up the body hanging below the edge of the wall bit by bit, and quietly stepped on the top of the wall stack.

Turning his head to look at the bridge pillars not far away, Chios bent his knees and lowered his figure, and then jumped forward with all his strength...

sand...

There was a slight sound from the shoe soles rubbing against the masonry, but it was soon overwhelmed by the louder wind noise from higher up.

clatter...

It wasn't until Chios landed on the target platform that Amazon on duty looked back suspiciously.

However, compared to her sloppiness, the fast-moving intruder kept walking, jumped over two square pillars in just three seconds, and completely disappeared into the night under the cover of optical camouflage.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

23:26

blow!

The young man who lifted the optical camouflage jumped from a high place, glided by the wind and landed in the palace garden, and immediately dodged and hid in the shadow of the trees, and quickly drew a light rune and crushed it, and entered the hidden state again.

Looking around, there was no one within a hundred feet.

The surrounding light is dim, like other places in Happy Street.

Most of the battle whores will go out at night, each "hunting" in the capital of the night, and when they find the target, they usually don't go back to the headquarters after much trouble.

The Ishtar family, which controls [-]% of the business in Happy Street, has directly operated brothels in the streets and alleys of the third and fourth urban areas in the southeast. It is undoubtedly a better and safer choice to pick a favorite place nearby.

As for the safety of their main gods, there is nothing to worry about.

Ishtar was followed by Lv.4 Tammuz. Tammuz, who ranked second in the family's strength, was the nominal deputy head, but in fact he was the main god's personal guard, and did not interfere in the faction affairs at all.

Therefore, once the most heavily guarded bridge in front of the palace is successfully passed, the subsequent infiltration will not be difficult at all.

Chios walked out of the shadows unhurriedly, and looked up at the tower in front of him.

The line of sight looked all the way from the lower floor to the higher place, and soon found a lantern with a faint flame on the railing of the balcony corridor on the east side of the fourth floor.

Climbing along the windows and sculptures of the palace wall, it took him less than a minute to reach the position of the lantern.

After climbing over the guardrail, Chios approached the window, observed through the gap in the curtains, saw Aisha sitting alone in the room drinking wine, and then tapped on the door of the balcony next to her.

Ka...

Aisha, who was holding a goblet in her hand, opened the door, and she couldn't help but froze on the spot when she saw the almost transparent human silhouette outside the door.

You can clearly feel breath and smell, but it is difficult to observe visually.

"Yeah...it's odd..."

"Shh..."

Chios interrupted Aisha's question in a low voice, removed the optical camouflage covering her body, and walked past the other party into the room.

"Put away the lantern, close the door, and close the curtains."

Hearing the order from the young man who passed by, the tall and tall fighting prostitute quickly suppressed the shock on her face, nodded solemnly, and followed her words.

"call..."

Taking off the cloak, the young man sat down on the single sofa in front of the fireplace, took out an eyeball-shaped [Sentry Eye], and put it on the coffee table on the right.

"Among the people currently on this floor, is there anyone who needs special attention?"

"No..." Aisha, who had just returned with a lantern and closed the door, replied:

"I sent as many sisters as I could into the streets, and no one else would break into my room."

"okay, I get it."

After Chios finished speaking, the consciousness first silently marked the life characteristics of the activities on this floor as neutral, focused on searching for individuals whose threat level was between Rank? D-Rank? C, and then activated the enemy hunting function of [Sentinel Eye].

Call out the heraldic light curtain, expand the flat radar screen into a three-dimensional icon, and scan all floors one by one.

This palace is indeed built quite high, but it is still not as good as the miracle-built Tower of Babel. It is only about 100 to 300 stories high, with a height of more than [-] meters. search range.

Among the many Lv.5 and Lv.3 battle whores, Phryni, the only one in the Ishtar family who has reached Lv.2, is extremely threatening, like a burning torch in countless candlelights, and is extremely conspicuous.

No matter where she hides, there will be nowhere to hide.

Seeing Chios's serious expression, Aisha, who was about to say something, didn't dare to interrupt, so she could only sit quietly and wait.

half an hour...

"It's a pity..." The young man sighed and removed the light curtain.

Reaching into his bosom, he took out a pipe and filled it with shredded tobacco. After lighting the grass leaves, he approached his mouth and said softly:

"That toad doesn't appear to be at headquarters right now."

Aisha's pupils shrank suddenly.

"...y-yes, I was just about to tell you..."

Her voice trembled a little.

Chios glanced sideways at Aisha, did not reply, but took a breath of cigarette slowly, hinting that the other party should continue talking.

"Phryni left the stronghold about two hours ago. Because of your order, I did not send anyone to contact you. I promise, I never lied to you."

Aisha doesn't know how Chios got the information that "Phryni is not at the headquarters" in just half a minute. Although she knows that she is telling the truth, she is not sure whether Chios, the partner of cooperation, is willing to accept it. , Will she be suspected of betrayal because of this.

gurgling...

The battle whore, who is not afraid of the monsters below, rolled her throat and swallowed her saliva.

"I believe you."

The words came to her ears along with the gray-brown smoke, and Aisha's tense body finally relaxed.

"At this point, you have no chance of turning back...""

Chios's tone slowed down, looking at the burning firewood in the fireplace, with the right hand holding the pipe resting on the armrest of the seat, and expressed the cruel reality in a warm voice:

"Ishtar doesn't have the guts to go to war with Freya while fighting me. Even if she learns that I am secretly planning actions against her, if she doesn't want to be sent back to the heaven by my sword immediately, she can only swallow her anger."

"However, if the news of your plot to kill Phryne spreads, surely the toad will not let you appear in her eyes any longer? Which way is better to die than being eaten by monsters, I think, You have a clear answer in your heart."

Hearing this, Aisha shook the goblet in her hand, almost spilling the expensive carpet.

He was right...

The person in front of him has already calculated every step, including the situation where the plan is leaked, he has a way to escape completely.

(The only one who has no way out is me.)

Thinking of this, Aisha's back was covered in cold sweat.

After seeing Chios' methods, he would be lying if he said he wasn't afraid.

Although her assistance was part of it, it was still very difficult to infiltrate the Ishtar Familia without causing any disturbance.

Chios not only managed to do it, but also confirmed that Phryne was not at the headquarters in a blink of an eye.

He remained calm and cautious throughout.

From contacting himself at the beginning, and then letting members of the Loki family act as intermediaries, to sneaking into the palace now, he has never been negligent.

The goal is clear, do not do superfluous things.

Most importantly, this man is cruel...

Once you feel that the chess piece has become a burden, you will never frown when you discard it.

If you offend such a person, I'm afraid you won't even understand how you died.

"Yes, I understand..." Lowering her head, she begged in trepidation:

"I swear, I will follow your orders, please... don't give up on me."

"Hehe, how can I bear to watch you die..."

Chios turned his face to the side and faced Aisha with a gentle smile without any shadow.

"I believe you should be ready for the structural diagram of the family headquarters and the various brothels under its jurisdiction? Take it out."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The sheepskin scroll was unrolled and spread flat on the desk next to the vanity mirror...

Chios is not familiar with the headquarters of the Ishtar family, so he doesn't expect to successfully solve the target when he infiltrates for the first time. The original intention of today's operation is to find out the structure and personnel distribution of the Palace of Night, so as to plan the final plan for the official assassination later. Good access path.

Of course, it would undoubtedly be a better situation if one could know Phryni's location, or even have the opportunity to directly eradicate the other party.

It is a pity that such a lucky thing did not happen.

"Is this your personal bedroom?"

"Yeah." Aisha, who was standing by the desk, nodded without thinking.

As soon as she finished speaking, she thought of something, a faint blush quietly appeared on her cheeks, she stuck out her tongue and licked her dry lips, her thighs closed involuntarily, and she rubbed back and forth anxiously.

"That's good..."

Chios didn't pay attention to the other party's reaction at all, dipped the ink with the quill in his hand, and stamped a "*" symbol with red paint on the location of Aisha's room on the palace structure map that Aisha gave him.

This is suitable as a sneak point, but it is not suitable to pass by when retreating.

Doing so will greatly increase Aisha's suspicion and reduce the trust of the main god Ishtar in her.

From the moment Ayesha accepted the cooperation proposal, her life and interests have been completely tied to the success or failure of Chios.

Presumably this woman is also very clear...

(Only by obeying me will you not lose everything.)

In the future, there will definitely be a lot of places where fighting whores need to be used. Chios doesn't want this useful chess piece that holds the power of the Ishtar family to lose its value.

While smoking a pipe and thinking, the young man's movements were not slow, and he marked the places where the fighting prostitutes were densely distributed inside and outside the tower one by one.

After finishing the work at hand, he put down the quill, put the sheepskin scroll into the heraldry space, turned his head, saw Aisha who was hesitant to speak, and his eyelids twitched slightly.

"Why do you put on a disappointed expression...Forget it, I can probably guess the reason."

Before the estrous Amazon spoke, the young man raised his hand to stop him.

He lightly pressed the center of his eyebrows with his index finger, smoothed his brows, and quickly changed the subject:
