Extraordinary: Lord of the Elements

Chapter 36 Assassination
Zestan City, the central council hall.

Several nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes surrounded the long table, and tall soldiers in gorgeous armor stood two steps apart behind them.

"That old thing, Gretel, is about to die. He called all the warriors for a meeting yesterday, and he will lead all the soldiers to take the initiative to attack."

"Where is he going to attack? Zestan City? Hahaha, I wish he could come here."

"The city of Zestan is high and the river is deep. Even if Gretel was beaten stupid by the barbarians, he would not attack here."

"Wright, I think you should pay attention, your territory is not far from Meier's territory."

Wright is a blond middle-aged man. He lay lazily on the chair, put his feet on the table, and kept shaking.

After hearing this, Wright poked his ears indifferently, "It doesn't matter, if he really comes to attack my territory, I will close the castle gate, let alone 1 people, even 3 people will not be able to enter.

Hey, let him die outside.

At that time, I can still exchange his head and barbarians for some horses and monster meat. "

"You are so confident, Wright. There are only more than 1000 people in your castle."

"I'm an elite soldier. Besides, aren't the barbarians waiting for the old guy to step out of his turtle shell?

I don't know what's going on with this old guy. Did he dig up the barbarian's ancestral grave?

It's worth letting the barbarians bypass Sunset Hold at such a loss. "

"The ancestors of the savages were not buried below. Their ancestors liked to stay with them and use their bones as bows and arrows for their children and grandchildren."

"Hahahaha, how about calling him a barbarian."

The meeting was presided over by an elderly man in a robe. He knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "The barbarians won't stay in the kingdom for too long. We have to let them fight the Meyer family before they leave. Both lose."

"That's easy to say, just tell them the route of Meier's army."

"Your status in the Meyer family is not low. You can't really bribe Rossetti, right?"

Wright laughed loudly, "Guess!"

Now that he decided to leave, Rossetti went back that night to draw up the list.

When passing Li Hansheng's name, Rossetti hesitated for a moment, and put a star behind Li Hansheng's name.

"Such an outstanding genius should not be a spy inserted in."

There are spies within the Meier family, and even after rounds of scrutiny, there are still spies.

But I can't be sure who it is, I can only be sure that this spy can enter the decision-making within their family, at least he is a martial artist.

"Li Hansheng's team only has ten people, except for a little girl, there are only a small number of warriors, and the people like Li Hansheng are all fighting in the arena, and they are more sensitive to a small number of enemies than the guards from the army."

There is a very obvious difference between the guards from the arena and the guards from the army.

The guards from the army pay attention to the cooperation of the team, while the guards in the arena are informal. If they can sneak attack, they will attack, and if they can't, they will throw stone powder to tease their legs.

As far as survival is concerned, the people in the arena are more professional.

"Constance's younger brother is also inside. His elder brother was killed by the barbarians. He cannot be a spy of the barbarians."

"Turner, the orphan, his parents were all killed by savages, and neither was he."

"Grey, a mercenary, killed Earl Wright's brother-in-law in a mission before. Well, he can believe it."

After screening, Rossetti decided on a list of 11 people. Among the [-] people, there was only one martial artist, a guard he was sure would remain loyal to the Meyer family, named Maggie.

It was the female commander Li Hansheng had seen in the courtyard before.

Her ancestors have been domestic servants of the Meier family for generations, and her loyalty can be guaranteed.

After confirming the list, Rossetti destroyed the note.

He sighed, but at this time someone knocked on the door, the voice was very hasty.

"Please come in!"

"Lord Rossetti! It's bad! A martial artist has rebelled! Many people!"

Rossetti's expression changed drastically, and he rushed to the door and opened it. Before his vision could be opened, a sharp blade had already rushed behind the door.

too close!
Moreover, the opponent's attack speed was very fast, and there was a bright green grudge on the blade.

Rossetti's vindictiveness erupted instantly regardless of his body's ability to withstand it, and a large amount of blood oozed out of the pores while the vindictive armor was formed!

when!
The sharp blade was blocked, but immediately after that, a handful of colorful poisonous powder flew out.

boom!
Rossetti's left arm swung a fist, rushed past the poisonous powder, and crushed the opponent's throat hidden in the cloak!
"Cough cough! Cough cough!" Rossetti coughed hoarsely.

He gathered his fighting energy in his throat, walked back into the room, took out a bottle of medicine from the cabinet and drank it all in one gulp.

The feeling of suffocation eased a little.

After poisoning two or three bottles of potions in a row, Rossetti finally recovered.

Leaning against the edge of the table, Rossetti felt a little lucky. Fortunately, the opponent stabbed first and then threw the poisonous powder. If the poisonous powder was thrown first, he couldn't dodge the knife.

The sound alerted the guards on the same floor, and Li Hansheng, Ma Nan and others rushed over along with the other guards.

"Grand Commander!"

Rossetti waved his hand, picked up a candle, walked to the corpse, and lifted the hood on the corpse's head.

This is a guard, who looks familiar, but also withdrawn.

It's normal, this guard is an orphan in Rossetti's impression, because last year the Maier family's guard team lost too much, so it was recommended by the subordinate industry to add to the guard team.

But I didn't expect that he was also a dead soldier inserted by the other party.
Rossetti rummaged through the bodyguard and soon found a letter.

"You guys go back first." Rossetti waved.

The candle light was dim, and Li Hansheng looked at Rossetti as if there was nothing wrong with him, and the guard was just a warrior. Although the bloody smell at the scene obviously came from two people, Li Hansheng didn't ask any more questions, turned around and followed The guards leave.

Returning to the house with the envelope, Rossetti began to cough again.

He took out a bottle of potion and drank it, "A toxin that can corrode even great martial artists. These noble families are really willing."

When I opened the envelope, I saw the familiar Wright's signature. I don't know how many letters were found when the guards were inspected a few days ago.

"Dear Commander Rossetti, I am Cassidy Wright, you can call me Little Wright. After all, you are more than ten years older than me.

Since you can see this letter, you should have survived.

I am a person who respects the old and loves the young very much, so I have better arrangements for Jewed and you.

Of course, others have not had such good luck.

By the way, let me remind you that the greatest danger often comes from the people you trust the most.

Be careful who you think is most loyal. "

Rossetti put down the envelope blankly, and the envelope exploded into powder, emitting a faint fragrance.

Rossetti twisted the powder and suddenly remembered that there was a faint aroma of burning paper in rooms with many guards.

Although he knew it was Cassidy Wright's trick, Rossetti still frowned.

"Maggie."
