Ultimate Assassin System

The army in gray clothes, the main tent of the Chinese army.

It is still a collective deliberation mode, but there are more people than before. This is also natural. As the barbarian army retreats, the senior leaders of the Gray Army who were divided into two places will of course reunite. This is a good thing, but there are more people and there are more opinions. This thematic meeting about where the Gray Army should go in the future has been held for several days, but it seems that it still has not been able to come up with a unified plan...

The barbarian army has completely bypassed the Sharon Fortress and retreated to the rear... Although we don't know the reason, we can temporarily remove the barbarians from the enemy list. Therefore, there is only one problem now, how to deal with it Bran’s army on the outside?”

Ha, you are a second-rate soldier! You don't care so much, why don't you just hit him and it's over?

You can't say that, General, we are still not good in the eyes of the opponent... It is easy to fight, but where to fight? How to fight? When to fight? These are all problems that need to be solved urgently. We must know our previous strategy The plan no longer applies...

According to me, as for whether it is suitable or not, I think the previous strategic plan is good. Besides, if we can't win on the battlefield, what's the use of relying on plans alone? Agree! I think we can attack directly from the front. , and let those bastards see that we did not just rely on luck to defeat the barbarian army...

Generals, please think again. Currently, both Bran and Beihuang are standing still. If we attack here, it is likely to cause a chain reaction. Once they are entangled, the Gray Army will be in danger!

Idiot, what do you think we should do? We can't fight, and we can't do it without fighting. Are we just here shouting and cursing with the Bran army outside and practicing our words every day?

Isn't this a discussion...

…

It has to be said that the current Gray Army is no longer the ragtag group with tens of thousands of people and more than a thousand broken swords. Base by Losa. After Josiah's forge ahead, the Gray Army's internal and external military structure gradually improved, and all departments were operating normally. Now we have the prototype of a dignified master.

If nothing else, just look at the superstructure of the Gray Army. The loudest ones were the generals and officers of the main fighting faction. It is the conservative top civil servants who are arguing hard. Once the two sides quarrel fiercely, and there are even signs of violence, there are not many centrists who will come out to mediate the conflict.

Everyone performs their duties and has a clear stance, just like a small royal council. Of course, this place is much cleaner and purer than the real Bran Council Hall. The good thing about new things is that there are not so many messes, so despite the intense quarrel now, the center is still on track. They are all considering the future of the Gray Army, not their own selfish interests, and they are not planning on killing the opponent later. Sitting at the top of the tent were naturally Josiah, Frey, the generals of the various armies, and a group of distinguished old men in gray. This is the real top level at the top of the current gray army power structure pyramid. Compared to the red-faced senior officers below, this place is much quieter. It's not that there is no discussion, but the method is much gentler. Opinions are exchanged in casual chats. Even if they don't agree with each other, it doesn't get to the point of spitting at each other. It's very gentle and elegant like a big shot.

certainly. The reasons for this situation include Frey, who now has great prestige in the army, and Josiah, who has absolute authority in the Gray Army. The reason why both of them remained silent.

In the eyes of everyone, the big shots are indecisive, naturally because they need to consider all aspects and inevitably have concerns. And this is the best time for them to express their opinions and show their talents as subordinates.

But in fact, Josiah and Frey really didn't know what to say. They know much more information than everyone present, and they know that the current situation is not a simple problem that can be solved by fighting or being conservative.

Take the Bran troops on the periphery as an example. Everyone thought that the other party had planned to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. I want to see both the gray-clothed army and the barbarians lose, so it's very shameful. But both Joshua and Joshua knew it in their hearts. I knew it was because Tang En wanted to assassinate the barbarian commander, and a big shot in Bran issued a death order. They were not allowed to attack, so these Bran troops did not stab them in the back when they were fighting fiercely with the barbarians...

It is precisely because of this that Josiah and the others are very hesitant about starting a fight first. If now is the critical moment, because they take action and light the fuse, directly detonating the entire northern war situation, then regardless of whether the Gray Army can withstand this impact, Tang En, who is caught in the middle, may be in danger...

That's right, regardless of whether Tang En is willing to admit the fact that this is a stressful situation, he is indeed the center of attention now!

With Lansha in his hands, the barbarian army occupying the border of Bran did not dare to act rashly. Wooding did not receive news of his success, so Bran's army could not launch a counterattack. Josiah is worried about his safety, so the gray army will not be able to break out...

In such a huge game of chess, there was a total stalemate. Only Tang En, a free-moving chess piece, really enjoyed the treatment of being the protagonist that attracted everyone's attention!

He was happy, but people like Josiah who were making decisions were paralyzed. They looked forward and backward, fearing that someone would accidentally choose the wrong path and end up in a dead end. It could be said that they were extremely entangled.

…

The lively discussion continued, but in the eyes of Josiah, who was sitting upright, and Frey, who was rubbing his eyebrows, this was destined to be another boring meeting that wasted saliva.

At this moment, wow, the curtain of the big tent moved slightly, and a middle-aged man hurriedly walked in. Everyone glanced subconsciously and found out it was Victor, the captain of the Guards, so they didn't pay attention and continued the lively debate.

Victor didn't pay attention to the people present. In fact, if the area of ​​​​the tent was not very wide and the generals and senior officials were crowded, he would not even turn around in his brisk walking pace, heading straight towards Joshua. So we went... Although it was a bit troublesome now, as we had to walk sideways, and sometimes we had to nod back when we met people who greeted us, but after all, it was only a few feet away, and we arrived in half a minute.

Joshua was listening to what the gray old man was saying, nodding and smiling from time to time. He didn't notice that Victor had arrived beside him, with an excited and anxious look on his face.

Frey on the side saw it and didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw Victor hesitantly extending his palm, as if wanting to interrupt the conversation between Josiah and the senior old man, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and was slightly surprised.

Josiah's identity is the leader of the Gray Army. She is also a young and beautiful woman. In this way, no matter what the reason is, as the captain of the Guards who has the most contact with Josiah. Naturally, the selection of candidates must be done with great care. It makes sense for Victor to stand out among them, in Frey's opinion. He is definitely qualified. Although his strength is a bit lacking, he has no problem with his work and conduct.

Be calm, know how to measure, and never go beyond the rules!

In fact, this is the case. Victor's voice was not replaced in the first place. There is no other reason, just because he is a man. This is not to say that Victor's character is so bad that everyone doesn't believe it. It's just because the person making the proposal knew about Tang En's relationship with Josiah. I was worried that this move would accidentally offend the God of Death, which would result in a bad outcome... Of course, in the end, Victor proved himself successfully with his performance. In addition, neither Josiah nor Tang En, who came here before, said anything about this, so the voices gradually disappeared.

And someone who knew what was appropriate now actually wanted to interrupt the conversation between Josiah and the senior senators... Frey became interested and interrupted with a smile: Chief, Ebi, don't just talk to yourself. Victor Still waiting for the report.”…

Joshua and the old man were stunned when they heard this. They stopped talking and raised their heads, only to find Victor standing by rubbing his palms and waiting. Josiah chuckled apologetically. He opened his mouth and asked: What's wrong Victor?

Victor first nodded to Ebisu to express his apology, then leaned close to Josiah's ear and whispered, Ni Laohong is here. He stood up and immediately cast a grateful look at Frey. . The latter's actions just now were undoubtedly to help him out.

Frey smiled casually upon seeing this and wanted to say something. When he caught sight of Joshua from the corner of his eye, he was startled.

Slightly stunned, excited, ecstatic, angry... it's like a kaleidoscope. Various expressions flashed across Joshua's beautiful face, extremely complicated. But it's mostly excitement. Then he took a deep breath, put his hands on the edge of the table, and slowly straightened his body.

嗗——Although it was a large tent erected out of thin air, the ground was specially paved with stone slabs. This is for safety reasons to prevent someone from digging tunnels and sneaking directly into the tent. Now as Josiah stood up, the chair legs scraped against the stone floor and slowly backed away, suddenly making a harsh sound that made people's skin crawl.

After a few breaths, the lively debate disappeared and the big tent fell silent. Everyone present looked at Joshua in astonishment.

Josiah looked very calm and expressionless. Only someone as familiar and close as Frey could see the impatience beneath the calmness. He simply waved: The meeting is over! After saying that, he glanced at Frey, left the wooden table, and walked hurriedly outside the tent without looking back.

Such a rare willful act, not to mention everyone, even Frey was stunned. If Victor hadn't pulled him, he wouldn't have known how to get up and leave.

…

Outside the station, Ni Laohong, oh, that is, Tang En was having a pleasant chat with David and others.

Although Lansha had been careful before, he had found a rope to tie with Tang En, as if he was afraid of being thrown into Bran's army. But in fact, it is really not difficult for Tang En to break through this fixed defense line in the wild when the opponent is unprepared.

Choosing a few cliffs and ravines that were difficult for ordinary people to reach, and knocking out a few sentries, Tang En and Lan Sha quietly broke through the blockade of Bran's army without staining the dagger with blood. Then he naturally ran all the way towards the Gray Clothes Army station. Originally, Tang En thought he would encounter Gray Clothes Army patrols, but he never expected that he bumped into David and others who were wandering around outside first...

This time, Lansha didn't disguise himself, but Tang En changed his appearance, picking up the image of a middle-aged man who had gone through vicissitudes of life last time. There was nothing that could be done about it, even though the senior leaders of the Gray Army knew Tang En's identity and knew that Luo Sha's incident was not his fault. However, there are still many soldiers and civilians below who still hold the idea of ​​​​Tang En killing Luo Sha. This can only be done slowly by time, and there is no rush. Of course, after meeting David and others, Tang En's image was exposed in advance...

The person who climbed the tree just now to spy on you was you, Sloth Bear, right? Haha, your body skills are still so rough. I've told you so many times... I didn't get this nickname for nothing. Since you're a bear, you're done just hanging around on the ground. Well, you always like to climb trees. Look at the bark chewed away by your leather boots, and look at the branches bent by you, who the hell doesn’t know there’s someone hiding up there?”

What a fool! Boss, I discovered you first. I didn't shoot arrows just now, Lazy Bear.

Nonsense, you're standing so tall and the boss didn't hide his figure, so of course you were the one who noticed it first...

That's the boss. The monkey is injured, otherwise it would be difficult for him, a bear, to climb the tree. I feel awkward just looking at it. Haha...

…

Tang En asked those Gray Space members to bring back a message. It's a bit like explaining the funeral arrangements. David and the others would be lying if they said they weren't worried. But now that we have met, these are no longer important, and there is no point in bringing them up. Laughing and making noise, just like before.

Tang En was a little nervous now. Looking at these familiar faces in front of him, especially the members of the first phase of Gray Space, he licked his lips and asked: The monkey is injured? It's nothing serious, right? Is everyone... okay?

Don't worry, boss. The monkey is fine. It's just that a small hole was drilled into his thigh by an arrow. Last time I went to see him, he was enjoying the temple's sacrificial treatment while teasing the little caregiver. It was so exciting... David laughed. He said, Everyone is fine. It's just that Brother Frey sacrificed an old brother, Brother Zhugan. We avenged him and killed ten barbarian officers that night.

Huh... That's good, that's good... Tang En let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this. I felt a lot more relaxed. It was too easy for people to die on the battlefield, not to mention David and the others. Didn't Tang En go to assassinate Lan Sha to explain his funeral arrangements first? Things on the battlefield. It's really hard to say... I shook my head and said, Where is Brother Bamboo's grave? Take me to pay homage to him later.

Okay. David simply nodded, and then glanced at Lansha, who had been looking around since entering the station. He was a bit pretty and a bit shameful, and carefully asked questions, Boss, this is...

In fact, from the very beginning, members of Gray Space were secretly sizing up Lansha. This is not coveting beauty. It's about judging her identity and relationship with the boss. The result, of course, was Lan Sha, who gained nothing and could act under Tang En's nose. There is no doubt that David and the others cannot see through their behavior, let alone know the identity of the other people from the Northern Wilderness.

Oh. This is Lansha. They were chatting happily just now. Tang En almost forgot that he didn't come back alone. When he realized it, he felt a little embarrassed and introduced each other, Lansha, these are David and Harry. , Luke, Lazy Bear... He introduced the members of the first issue, and finally patted his chest, They are all my brothers!

Lansha nodded, looked at David and the others, and raised his eyebrows: Gray space?

Uh, you know? Tang En was stunned.

I've heard some. Lansha nodded thoughtfully. She had investigated Tang En's information before, so she naturally knew about the existence of gray space. He leaned over slightly and said as a Bran courtesy, Hello, I'm Lansha. It's our first time meeting you, so excuse me. Tang En didn't elaborate on his true identity just now, but he didn't hide it either, so Lansha simply introduced him. Stop yourself.

Haha, Miss Lansha is so polite. Upon seeing this, David and others quickly returned the greeting and exchanged glances very quickly. Especially when they looked at the red rope tied to the wrists of the boss and Lansha, they were stunned for a moment. Still couldn't figure out the relationship between the two, and Tang En didn't intend to go into details, so he just exchanged polite greetings in the end.

Harry, on the other hand, because he knew about Lina, looked at Lansha with something wrong in his eyes, and secretly complained, thinking that this was another romantic debt incurred by the boss outside.

Tang En's eyesight was so good. He didn't pay attention before, but now when he saw everyone paying attention to his wrist intentionally or unintentionally, he suddenly realized that the red rope had not been untied. He slapped his forehead and watched Lansha raise his wrist: I'm too excited. Throw this thing away. We'll be safe here. As he said this, he reached out to untie the red rope.

Lansha frowned slightly when he saw this, as if he was a little unhappy, but then he smiled, pointed forward and said: There are many people here, aren't they here to greet you?

When Tang En raised his head, he was here to greet him. He was walking briskly at the front of the crowd, and it was none other than Joshua who couldn't hide his joy. Slightly behind were Frey and Victor, followed by a group of familiar senior senior officials.

When they were several feet apart, Frey and Tang En smiled at each other, raised their glasses to drink, and stopped first. As soon as he stopped, a group of people, except Josiah, naturally stopped.

Tang En greeted him with a smile. This was a residence, not a private space. Naturally, it was impossible for the two of them to do anything intimate. Keeping an arm's length distance, Tang En looked Josiah up and down. Except for a little fatigue, he made sure that he didn't find any injuries. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and greeted him first: Honey, long time no see.

Josiah pursed his lips and smiled softly. He grabbed a strand of hair and placed it on his heart as if by accident. He corrected him seriously: We see each other every day, husband.

In my heart...

Tang En smiled knowingly, feeling very comfortable. A little tacit understanding, including meeting each other every day without words in the heart, and the intimate code words of husband and wife that outsiders cannot understand, but only belong to them.

After staring at each other for a moment, knowing that this was not the right place, Tang En took the lead to look away and said, Here, let me introduce you to a friend. Lan Sha, the businessman at home was the one I saved from the bandits on the way here. The lucky one. This introduction was of course meant for everyone not far away.

Is this Miss Josiah? Looking at the somewhat astonished Josiah, Lansha stepped forward to greet him with a relaxed smile, I've heard of you a long time ago, the new leader of the Gray Army, really. very impressive!

With admiration, he stretched out his hand to brush the hair from his forehead and tucked it behind his ears, elegantly and naturally. At the same time, the red rope tied between the wrists looks particularly eye-catching against the white skin...
