Heart of Empire Chapter 226: Assassination
It is possible that Barber is dead. This is purely a guess based on Dane's perception, without any direct evidence to support it.
However, there was no information about his appearance within ten days, and he was missing but all his money was still there. Based on these two points, Dane dared to make a guess.
It is too late when the danger is really discovered, and all the predictors are prepared for a rainy day.
If Bob died, how did he die? This is a very important question. Dane felt that when he was so busy earlier, he seemed to have neglected the intelligence collection work.
"Let the soldiers gather, let's go to the barracks." Dane whispered to Patience next to him.
The streets of Rotten Wolf Town are not wide, and the troops of 600 people are arranged in a very long line, which is not conducive to defense. After realizing the danger, he certainly could not continue to let the team stay on the street.
Except for the remaining two squads of soldiers who took over and guarded the mayor's mansion, the others, led by Patience, headed towards the military camp on the east side of Rotten Wolf Town.
And halfway away from the mayor's mansion, a soldier came to report: "Master General, two of them said that they knew the whereabouts of Mayor Barber, and they were your old acquaintances."
Frowning, Dane asked, "Old acquaintance? Who is it?"
"He calls himself Nafir Fatty."
This is really his old acquaintance, and the relationship is still very good. When Dane betrayed and killed the old leader of the horror group, Baines, no one in Rotten Wolf Town was optimistic about him, except This fatty once persuaded Dane kindly.
But Dane still kept an eye out, he said: "Take those two people together, watch them, and bring them two to see me when we get to the barracks."
The team started back on the road. From Barber's mayor's mansion to the barracks, it was only about 20 minutes away, not too far away. Soon, after walking around a street corner, the military camp appeared not far away.
However, at this time, the mutation happened.
Hearing a loud bang, Dane looked towards the place where the sound came from - at the end of the line after the corner of the street, the two previously mentioned 'insiders' were exactly the people arranged by Dane. , the guard is at the end of the most team!
The purple-red, evil-smelling energy storm had just dissipated, and the place was already a mess, with all the houses on both sides of the street collapsed. As far as Dane saw the scene, there were at least two White Wolf squads within the range of the explosion's center, and they were all bombarded to death by the wild energy explosion at this moment. Even the other soldiers who were a little farther away were quite embarrassed after being affected by the explosion.
The power of this energy explosion is probably no worse than a four-ring evocation spell!
Dane's face was ashen. Fortunately, he had become suspicious earlier, thinking that there was something wrong with Barbour's disappearance or death, so he kept his eyes open and did not dare to let those two so-called old acquaintances and insiders directly bring him to Otherwise, if the explosion exploded at close range, even Dane would easily be seriously injured by the explosion if caught off guard.
He didn't know what kind of conspiracy this was, but he could guess whose handwriting it was: it must have something to do with Conley!
The explosion of purple-red evil energy is as powerful as a fourth-ring spell. No one else can do it!
This is not necessarily the direct action of Kangli. Many warlords belonging to Kangli's faction also have some warlocks who came out of the confused city as their staff, such as Ma Long. But there must be no problem in putting the blame on Kangli.
Dane felt a little cold in his heart, how long has he been the general of White Wolf Fort? It's only been a little over ten days, and a conspiracy and assassination against him has come so soon?
I have to say that the operation efficiency of the Kangli faction is really high.
"Hurry up! Everyone return to the barracks immediately!" Dane gave an order decisively, so that he would not naively think that the final result of this conspiracy was just an explosion and assassination.
Sure enough, Dane guessed right, the matter should be
Of course it can't be that simple!
When the team hurriedly planned to quickly enter the barracks, Dane saw two figures in black robes appearing on the roof of the second-floor dormitory building of the barracks. Looking at the wands in their hands and the dark magic power that was constantly condensing, Dane had a bad feeling in his heart.
There was a roar from behind, and when he turned his head, he saw the twenty or thirty soldiers who had been killed in the previous energy explosion, and stood up staggeringly again. The broken bodies and the eyes that have lost their pupils all represent their current identities - undead.
This time, Dane came with a light infantry brigade, and a mixed brigade composed of two white wolf guard squadrons, two horror mercenary squadrons, and a ranger squadron~IndoMTL.com~ They were all considered elite teams, so they wouldn't be so frightened that they lost their combat effectiveness after seeing their dead comrades turn into undead. A light infantry squadron closest to the explosion site quickly rushed up, and with the long-range support of the rangers, the resurrected undead could not survive for two minutes.
This number of undead zombies is still not in the eyes of Dane. He was worried about the two casters who appeared on the barracks.
Patience drew her longbow and shot an arrow at one of them. Within a range of three to four hundred meters, even the Ranger General couldn't allow the arrows to retain a lot of lethality at this distance. Those two spellcasters were definitely protected by some spells like protection from arrows, so that Patience's bow and arrow shooting basically had no effect.
While Patience was shooting the bow, Dane also rushed towards the barracks with the white wolf guards around him, hoping to arrive before the other party completed the spell.
But for a distance of 300 meters, it will take some time to run. When Dane and his soldiers had just rushed to the entrance of the barracks, their spells had already been completed.
I saw that under the feet of the two spellcasters, two portals of darkness with a width of about six meters and a height of about six meters were summoned. The next moment, many strange-looking monsters sprang out from the black gate!
Dane has never dealt with monsters that grow up like this, but this does not prevent him from recognizing what they are from the appearance of the monsters rushing out of the door——
"Devil?!" Dane gritted his teeth! (To be continued.)
