Lord of Glory - Chapter 186

[Chapter 186 Hiring Assassins]

Armor display, murderous. The three-nation coalition army is like a mighty sea, layer upon layer, endless as far as the eye can see. The early morning sunlight was like the sound of a horn announcing war. As the soldiers standing at the forefront narrowed their eyes slightly, fifty giant catapults slowly advanced. The upper-level leader who had completely turned into a container of Paladin, the three kings stood in front of the formation, and seeing that they had reached the predetermined range, they waved their heavy arms in unison.

Boom boom boom! One after another boulders were thrown out immediately. Smashed the tall fortress on the opposite side with stone chips. Some Nubian soldiers who had no time to escape were even smashed into the air, falling heavily under the city wall, and a lot of blood gushed out from the gaps in the armor.

“Cloud ladder!” The three hundred pairs of cloud ladder militiamen rushed forward immediately. They were wearing cotton armor and simple helmets. Just when they rushed to the city wall like a wave, they were immediately ruthlessly blocked by the archers standing on the city wall. The wailing and shattering sound rang out in the morning, until the setting sun emerged and the smoke rose, and the first round of temptation attacks today ended here.

At this moment, in a castle a hundred miles away from the battlefield, sitting at the head of the dining table wearing a gorgeous pale golden armor, watching the Nubian King Sheen, who was eating delicious food lively under the group of vassals, was sitting at the head of the table. Looking at the battle report that was just delivered by the horse in his hand, he remained silent. The long brown hair did not have the slightest soft luster, but was scattered like dry iron wire. The beard that was newly hung last night has turned black again this morning. Although the bags under his eyes were puffy and his face was ashen, he couldn’t hide his sharp eagle-like eyes.

“Hey…” Gently put down the battle report, Xien directly ignored the vassals who were discussing the girl and the territory, and said to a young man standing beside him: “They are attacking Kamado Fortress, and the defenders there In terms of grain reserves, it will fall after a month at most. Heinrich, what do you think we should do?”

And this young man, under a lion-like golden hair, is an intoxicating face. The young man named Heinrich, who was like an angel, lowered his head slightly and said: “The enemy’s army is too strong to face the enemy head-on. Our Nubian light cavalry is well-known in all countries, and can be attacked by knights. Most of them are Infantry, as long as they continue to harass and attack, without confronting them, the enemy’s advantage will naturally become smaller and smaller.”

“Well…” Sheehan nodded slowly. Although it is said that such tactics are against the spirit of chivalry and honor, the country will be destroyed if it goes on like this, so let him die for such an unrealistic thing as honor.

But at this moment, this Heinris suddenly wanted to say something but kept silent, his eyes slightly turned away from these vassal lords. Sheehan immediately understood, and suddenly turned around and raised the hand with the thick gauntlet, and slammed it on the table violently! Hearing a bang, the food and drinks on the table immediately shook slightly, and the lords who had been chatting happily suddenly stopped. The originally lively hall immediately quieted down.

Seeing these lords looking at him cautiously, Xien suddenly became angry, waved his hand to open the cup in front of him and made a crackling sound, and yelled: “You pigs who only play with women and eat! Get out, get out for me!” The lords looked at each other and immediately stood up and left one by one. The originally lively hall was now only left with King Sheehan and Heinrich, who had a special status.

“Hey…” Seeing these lords leave one after another, Sheehan sighed helplessly again. This can only blame him for being suspicious. The land near the border he did not assign to any lord. Unlike other countries, they are always eager to give the land on the frontier to the nobles and guard the frontier for him. But Xien was afraid, afraid of the revolt of the nobles who supported their own troops, and also afraid that the army that belonged to him would be weak in the long run, and it would be difficult to fight again. Even more afraid of betrayal! …,

The border is the most critical place, and Sheehan firmly grasps these issues in his own hands. Naturally, this is beneficial. The army that belongs to and only obeys him is the strongest. None of those lords have just had an opinion on him. And because the borders are all their own territory, the aid Kasmina will rush to the battlefield so quickly.

But now, there are disadvantages. The lords under his command did not have many troops. Some are also defeated soldiers. He can only support the scene by himself! But the opponent’s three-nation coalition army has three or four times its own military strength! How is this fight going?

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty the King?” “Huh? Oh, Heinrich. After all, there is no one else here.” Sheehan looked at the handsome young man and said. The latter bowed slightly, lowered his voice and smiled and said, “If the leader of the Three-Kingdom Alliance suddenly died suddenly, how would the situation develop?” “Why, do you have a plan?”

Sheehan immediately asked in surprise, but the latter still maintained that hypocritical smile: “Although I am still young, I also know some people who specialize in this kind of business.” “Can you believe it? Don’t do it. Smashed.” Hearing this, Sheehan’s joy faded a little, and he just picked up a pot of wine and drank it. Seeing Sheehan’s behavior, Heinrich knew that he would do it, and his voice became lower and lower: “Has your majesty heard of the Hassassin Assassin Alliance?”

“Clap!” This sentence immediately scared Sheen to open the jug and fell to the ground, but he looked at the smiling Heinrich in shock, as if to re-examine this guy before frowning. He said very cautiously: “Hasassin? If the people of the Holy See know that I have hired Hasassin’s assassins, they will definitely give me the title of a heretic! His Majesty the Pope will also expel me from the church. The Knights Templar and the Inquisition will come to my castle! Heinrich, are you sure you’re not hurting me?”

“You’re too nervous, my king. The known Hassassin is only when the mission fails. I can hire twenty professional Hasassin hounds, all of them proficient in the art of assassination, Guaranteed to let these dukes and kings… ‘die of illness’ without anyone noticing.”

“Poison… a coward’s way.” “But insurance.” Heinrich argued. Although Sheehan despises such cowardly behavior, for the sake of his own throne, he suddenly nodded and said, “That’s fine, as long as you guarantee that they won’t expose me even if they fail, it’s up to you.” “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I have hired them ten days ago, and they are the most professional, it is impossible, and there is no chance to reveal the slightest information to others.”

“Oh?” Sheehan was stunned for a moment, looking at this Heinrich and said: “You are known as a chivalrous knight in the Engelland Empire. You were born in the crowned stag family that also focuses on honor. But I didn’t expect that you are really worthy. It deserves the word chivalrous.”

“It’s overrated, my majesty. If you hadn’t married my sister, I wouldn’t have come to this muddy water without regard for chivalry. After all, I’m just such a sister, and I don’t want her to become a widow at such a young age.” With such a snort, Sheehan stood up and left. There was only the hypocritical voice behind him: “Say hello to my sister for me…”
