Ultimate Assassin System

In the evening, the setting sun sets in the west and mist gradually arises.

In a vast expanse of white water, several large merchant ships that were sailing rapidly into the predetermined area gradually slowed down their speed and power, and finally dropped their anchors on a certain river surface, extinguished all the lights, and came to a complete standstill.

Next, there was a silent and anxious wait. Everyone, including the few old nobles who had been resting in the cabin but were still half-dead, also stumbled onto the deck and looked at the southern waters, unable to hide their anxious expressions.

The royal family members who had gone to deliver the news had returned smoothly, and the news they had brought back was also smooth. But despite this, the members of the aristocratic negotiation team who have experienced life and death have already become seriously allergic and extremely insecure. That is, I desperately want to rely on something, but I don’t dare to believe anything...

It can be described as torture!

Of course, Tang En didn't feel so worried about gains and losses. Looking around, there seemed to be some familiar water features, and he looked thoughtful.

Yes, he had been here before, not long ago. A little further on, there was the river crossing where he and Bamutu intercepted Wooding. Tsk, that's quite a coincidence...

****.nsb.m

With this thought in mind, there was a slight commotion all around.

Looking up, in the distance in the southern waters, several huge figures could be seen faintly breaking through the heavy water mist that had lingered for a long time, approaching quietly and at high speed. We're finally here... After a pause, the second prince raised his hand and waved lightly, then shouted in a deep voice, Get ready!

The orders were passed on one after another, and there was another slight uproar on several large merchant ships. The swords were unsheathed, the bows and arrows were full of strings, and the formation was ready. The solemn atmosphere instantly dropped to the freezing point.

There's not much to say about this. under the current situation. Even the second prince who has great confidence in General Nakley. Don't dare to risk your own life to bet on the other party's loyalty!

But it turned out that they seemed to be overly concerned.

Those behemoths, that is, the mighty and ferocious huge warships, slowed down on their own a few miles away, and finally came to a standstill. Immediately afterwards, a small boat was lowered, carrying a few people, and approached here again as the river rose and fell.

Huh...that's right. It's General Clay! Several old nobles leaned over the side of the ship and squinted at it for a long time. They finally confirmed the identity of the visitor and couldn't help shouting with joy.

Now that the identity of the visitor has been determined, and the other party is in a small boat without any escort, it means that there is no danger in the current situation.

The lights turn on and the sword is lowered. The tense and dignified atmosphere of the previous moment was instantly gone. The second prince exhaled and waved happily: Let's put down the sampan, let's go together to greet General Clay. I have to say. This second prince is still very good at life. Whether it is sincere or false. At least the scene is never ambiguous. He waved his hand and led a large group of old nobles to the edge of the deck, which was a great honor to General Clay.

Soon, the boat approached. In addition to the fucking soldiers, there were three people on the other side. Along the rope ladder lowered here, the three of them jumped onto the merchant ship.

The leader was a strong man wearing high-end heavy armor and a full beard. As soon as Pu boarded the deck, he looked excited. He immediately took a few steps towards the second prince and bowed and saluted: Your Highness, I'm late...

General, there is no need to be more polite... Before General Clay could bow down, the second prince had already taken a few steps forward to support the big man's arm, interrupting the salute, looking equally excited.

If there are no surprises, what follows should be a touching scene of mutual respect between the king and his ministers. But at this moment, suddenly,

A figure flashed into the field from behind in an instant, passing over the old nobles who were rushing forward, and passed by the second prince who was supporting each other. With a sudden step, Lightning reached out and accurately grasped the wrist of the person who came with General Clay.

This man is a middle-aged man, also wearing high-end armor, and should be a first-rate lieutenant. Originally, he was walking quickly, probably ready to salute the second prince and a group of old nobles, but as soon as he stretched out his arm, a black shadow flashed in front of him and grabbed his wrist.

Who?! The middle-aged deputy general was shocked when he saw this. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously bent his arms to struggle and raised his knees to push out.

His instant reaction was neither unpleasant nor incorrect. But the actual situation was that as soon as he lifted his knees, the black shadow in front of him took his wrist and instantly stepped around behind him. Then a blade light lit up in his eyes, and there was a pop, and his throat was cold...

Blood splattered everywhere!

General, be careful—

There's an assassin!

Protect His Highness quickly——

Uh... Tang Tang Tang... Tang En?

…

This change happened suddenly and ended even more quickly. While breathing, before everyone could react, they saw the middle-aged lieutenant leaning forward and kneeling on the deck with one knee. His right hand was held behind his back, and his left hand was grabbing at his neck in vain. His throat made a meaningless hiss, and a large amount of blood spread wantonly under his body.

Whoa...whoops...

Behind him, illuminated by dimming lights, Tang En expressionlessly controlled the twitching body beneath him. One hand firmly clasped the opponent's right wrist, and the other hand clamped the opponent's neck, turning the pitch-black dagger that was inserted directly into the latter's throat. The handle, cluck, cluck... blood poured out, and the clear and terrifying sound of rubbing bones made people shudder!

The first one to react was the other lieutenant who was closest. His eyes were splitting when he saw this, and he drew his sword and stabbed without thinking.

Fuck me—general, go away!

Tang En, what are you doing...

stop!

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the field came to their senses in unison and subconsciously made actions that were most beneficial to their side. Either screaming or retreating, the swords that the outer guards had just lowered were raised again in an instant, and they charged forward to encircle them.

Seeing that a confused melee was inevitable, the deputy general's sword had already stabbed Tang En in the back of the heart.

Without getting up or even turning his head, Tang En just twisted his body slightly and instantly avoided the stabbing sword. Immediately, there was a crisp sound and figures intertwined.

The deputy general who charged too hard rushed directly a few steps in front of Tang En. He paused and roared. Just as he was about to twist his waist and turn around, he held his sword and slashed back, when his body suddenly froze in place.

Raise your right hand high, empty.

Subconsciously lowering his head, the sword returned to the scabbard at his waist without knowing when.

This strange scene not only shocked the deputy general, but also stunned the guards who rushed over from the outside. The lights were dim, the river lapped gently, and the scene fell into a brief silence.

Immediately, with a bang, Tang En put away his sword and stood up. At his feet, the middle-aged deputy general fell to his knees on the deck of a pool of blood, motionless.

Why... why do you want to kill him? Looking at Tang En, who looked calm and wiped the blood on his hands, as if he had done nothing, the second prince opened his mouth, and after a moment he asked in a trembling voice.

Your Highness, this is... your person? If he hadn't completely figured it out just now, now looking at the reactions of everyone around him, General Clay naturally understood everything. Taking a deep breath, he looked at the lieutenant lying in a pool of blood. His eyes twitched, and he turned his head and looked at the second prince with inexplicable grief and anger. Okay, okay, okay, it seems that His Highness doesn't believe this subordinate...

General, don't get me wrong...

He has something in his hand. Before the second prince could explain, a royal servant behind him frowned at the dead lieutenant, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly said.

Fuck your mother... The other deputy general came back from the shock. Hearing that the other party not only killed him in front of his face, but now seemed to have the intention of harming and framing him, he suddenly became furious and opened his mouth to curse.

Shut up! Go take a look! General Clay shouted angrily.

Let's go together. The second prince glanced at Tang En, who was still expressionless. His heart suddenly moved, and he waved his hand and said, General, don't be angry. There must be an explanation for everything. If it is determined that something went wrong on our side... I will personally Give the general an explanation!”…

Speaking of this, as the Second Prince, there really is nothing to argue about.

All the nobles gathered around him, and a clever soldier stepped forward and straightened the body of the middle-aged deputy general. His left hand was nothing. His right hand... he clenched his fist, but for a moment he didn't open it.

Be careful. Tang En suddenly said.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and then vaguely remembered something... During the short battle just now, this palm seemed to have been tightly held by Tang En...

The soldier exerted force again lightly, and finally opened his fingers. Under the dim light, in the palm of your hand, a fiery red prismatic crystal shines!

Suddenly, Hiss...

There were gasps in the field instantly, as if they had agreed, everyone stepped back and their expressions changed drastically. General Clay and the deputy general did not retreat, their eyes were as wide as copper bells, Bang bang bang...exploding crystal?!

How is it possible... Staring at the fiery red crystal and the familiar face soaked in a pool of blood, General Clay couldn't believe his eyes and murmured, Harlan, this is... Why?

The identity of the second prince will never be revealed to the public before boarding the South Bank. General Clay must know this very well, so the two lieutenants who came with him this time naturally have his trust. But now it was his trusted subordinate, holding a horrifyingly powerful explosive crystal under his nose...

It sounds like something really impossible to happen.

However, no matter how impossible it is. With conclusive evidence, it can only be true!

At this time, everyone looked at Tang En with completely different eyes. It was now obvious that the middle-aged lieutenant had secretly hidden an explosive crystal. Of course, he couldn't be here to give it as a gift. Think about it, with the power of the explosive crystal, if he hurriedly approached the second prince and a group of negotiating nobles and successfully detonated it, then within such a narrow distance, the consequences... would be unimaginable!

However, Tang En didn't have any special expression. He didn't even want to know who was behind this middle-aged deputy general.

This is not pretending!

Originally, to put it bluntly, this was just an assassination. The other party's determination to be a suicide bomb is commendable, but it is not professional. And Tang En is a professional, one of the top among professionals. In this way, the outcome is already determined, right?

Facing everyone's gaze, he frowned impatiently and waved, Hurry up and change the boat and hit the road.
