Chapter 173 Assassination
Fortress of Glory implements a curfew system, except for nobles and guards, no one is allowed to be active on the streets of the fortress at night.At night, there are still many guards patrolling the streets. They will arrest all those who do not abide by the system. If the person resists, they will directly kill that person.

None of the guards patrolling the streets noticed Rhodes next to them in night clothes.

Not knowing whether it was because the night clothes were too effective or because of Treading Wuhen, Rhodes followed closely behind the two guards holding torches, and the two guards didn't notice his existence.

"It's this damn war again, when I'm supposed to be in 'Sweet and Honey' and have fun with some beauty," a guard said aloud.

"We are patrolling here, and those noble lords are staying in the warm room to enjoy..."

Rhodes stayed away from them after listening for a while. He originally thought that he might hear something important, but it turned out to be some useless nonsense.

He didn't intend to kill these guards. If they were to be killed, the fortress would definitely strengthen its vigilance, and tomorrow's assassination would definitely be more difficult.

Rhodes bypassed the guards patrolling the street and walked towards the tower beside the city wall.

He came to a tower, the door of the tower was closed, and there were two guards standing in front of the door.

Rhodes carefully observed the situation around the tower. There were no buildings around the tower. If he wanted to climb to the roof of other buildings and then turn in through the window, he felt that he could only enter the tower by killing these two guards. .

Now that you're all here, it's fine to start the assassination today, anyway, I didn't drink much before.

Rhodes quietly walked around to a guard, poked him with a yang finger with one hand, and killed another guard with a yang finger in the air with the other hand.

He quickly lifted up the corpses of the two guards and let them stand against the wall, but found that they couldn't stand at all.

We can only make a quick decision.

He took the key from the body and went into the tower.

It seems that this is not only the place where the commander lives, but also the soldiers' camp.

Looking at the rows of sleeping Roman Empire soldiers in front of him, Rhodes thought, he took out the "Bane of the Wise" and walked through the dark room, cutting the throats of these sleeping soldiers with a sharp dagger.

Maybe it was God's will or something, among these soldiers he saw the few soldiers he met at the gate of the city this morning, he resisted the urge to wake them up and kill them, and directly cut their throats.

After doing this, he turned on the system and found that the chivalry value had increased a bit. It seemed that these soldiers had done bad things.

Rhodes climbed the stairs to the second floor. The entire tower has three floors. The first floor is where ordinary soldiers rest, and the second floor should be a place for low-level officers to rest.

After reaching the second floor, he saw a series of doors. Rhodes used the sharp "Wise Men's Calamity" to cut open the door locks just like the one in River Valley City, and then gently pushed the door open, cutting off the sleeping person on the bed. Throats of junior officers.

After he cut the throats of several officers, a horn suddenly sounded outside. It should be that the soldiers patrolling near the city wall discovered that the guard at the gate of the tower was killed.

After Rhodes killed an officer in the room who was sitting up in a daze, he jumped from the window on the second floor. Each floor of the tower was very high, and the first floor was about five meters high. After Rhodes jumped Roll in a circle to remove the impact force.

He felt that killing low-level officers might be more useful than directly killing those noble commanders with greater power. Even the best generals who fail to carry out their orders after passing them on are useless.

Moreover, the noble commander living on the third floor of the tower might just be a mediocre person. It would be more beneficial to Nord's army to keep him in that position than to replace it with a more capable person.

But these were Rhodes' comforting words. He didn't know who lived on the top of the tower, but he was sure that the people above were not big figures like the emperor or the duke.

After Rhodes rushed to the next tower, he found that the soldiers in this tower were also awakened by the siren horn. Without wasting any more time, Rhodes turned around and walked towards the tavern quietly.

There were more soldiers patrolling the streets than before, but they didn't find Rhodes in night clothes in the dark.

Rhodes still didn't deal with these soldiers patrolling the streets. He felt that someone might be able to infer the direction of his evacuation based on the position of the dead soldier, and maybe they would focus on the tavern where he lived.

Rhodes went around to a small alley behind the tavern, and after using the mage ball to sense that there was no one around, he first climbed to the roof of a room, and then flipped from the roof of that room into his own room.

He closed the window and put his night clothes into the system space.

Lying on the bed, Rhode felt that his results tonight were not bad. He had killed at least a hundred ordinary soldiers, a dozen low-level officers, and veterans who had experienced dozens of battles might not kill as many enemies as he did. Killed a lot at night.

Not only that, but also harassed those soldiers, which made their nervousness even worse because of the upcoming war.

When they know that an unknown person will cut their throats after they fall asleep, they will definitely not be able to sleep as sweetly as before. After the Nord army sieges the city, their combat effectiveness will become weaker because of their poor mental state. even lower...

Rhodes slept until noon the next day. After a brief wash, he went downstairs to the tavern lobby.

"Have you heard? The fortress guard camp next to the city wall was attacked, and all the soldiers sleeping inside had their throats cut." Rhode listened to the mercenaries beside him while eating lunch.

"I heard this from someone early in the morning. How did you say that person got in so quietly? If I had such skills, I would still be a mercenary. I would have made a fortune long ago."

"How do I know? I don't think it should be one person, but a group of people. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill so many people in such a short time."

"I think what you say makes sense."

……

Rhodes was a little surprised, why such news that affects the fighting spirit of soldiers is published, shouldn't the news be blocked?
"Go to the square quickly, the killer was caught yesterday, and our emperor wants to judge him himself." A person shouted loudly at the entrance of the tavern.

Rhodes didn't intend to join in the fun. This kind of public trial must be a means for the Roman Empire to stabilize the morale of the army. Later, he must find a scapegoat and hang him in front of everyone.

But whoever came up with such a bad idea, I really want to thank him.

If I make another move tonight, their efforts will be in vain, and the morale of those soldiers will definitely become even lower...
