Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 270: Cat and mouse

Neither cats nor mice can bite off human heads. So Charlind is not talking about real cats and mice. In the street language of rush, cats and mice are fighting to refer to the power. There is no king or lord in the rushing capital, and naturally there is no army to control the law and order. Here, the relationship between people is very fragile, but because of this fragility, no one dares to break easily. Unless there are enough people standing with yourself, because there are many people, you don’t have to do many things yourself, and you don’t have to pay many costs. If something you want to do fails, it’s also a group to be retaliated against. Non-specific individuals.

Therefore, just like Iron Felt Avenue is a dwarf gathering area, this city is actually full of various groups, and when there are contradictions between them, especially the contradictions that are difficult to reconcile, the most primitive and the most powerful Effective solutions will be turned over again. Fortunately, people who have lived in this city for a long time understand its rules. They must respect those who are outside of contradictions, so the fire between forces also has their rules. They must take into consideration the time, place, and reach, and also warn the residents involved. The residents of the city are already used to it.

Frequent fires have also promoted the booming of another industry in the capital, which is mercenaries. After all, not every force will cultivate its own professional armament, and the effect may not be good enough if it is too costly. On the contrary, the mercenaries who work with money are the absolute main force of the fire. They bring their own equipment and are trained, and they will not become a long-term burden. Based on this, the battle between forces is actually more of a counterbalance in property. Which side pays more money and hires more and stronger mercenaries can gain an advantage in the fire and defeat or force their opponents concession.

However, when the two sides of the battle are mercenaries, the so-called fire has actually changed a bit. After all, they are usually peers who are waiting for business together. There are concerns about how many swords they face each other when they are employed on both sides. Therefore, in such a battle, most of the mercenaries are symbolically cutting down their opponents and then using them. Use conventional code words or gestures to discuss with the other party how much money you will have to pay for it. In this way, in fact, there will not be many casualties in the middle of the fire, at most, the price has not been negotiated, and it has been retaliated and crippled, or it is really bad luck to encounter a ruthless enemy.

Therefore, some forces will also dispatch several warfighters to record the battlefield situation while hiring mercenaries, so as to prevent the fact that the mercenaries of the two parties collude in acting fraud and get commissions afterwards. So, if it is possible to kill the opponent's warlord intentionally in the middle of the fire, and then lead to the intensification of the contradiction between the opponent's mercenary and its employer, is it feasible to win? This is inconclusive, but it is worth trying.

"Uh..." The dagger cut his throat from behind. The eyes under the hood were unbearable for a moment, but he dragged the unlucky egg covering his throat into the corner and flicked away the blood stains on the blade.

This is the third one. The assassin watched the other person's loss of energy in his eyes, turned around and climbed up the wall of the building. His skill is very good, which may be because the hands and feet showing clothing are different from the human limbs. They are more like rodent claws than human palms and feet. And the assassin with rodent body characteristics has completely disappeared from the sight of the fire and personnel in a few swings. He silently climbed to the roof of the nearby higher building, and observed the crowd from the top. The dim sky seemed to have no effect on him.

The location of the next target is not difficult to find, and it is not difficult to find people who are not so similar in a group of mercenaries. It may just be related to the success of the previous few times. The target is being protected by three or four heavily armed mercenaries. The latter obviously does not want to win a bounty because no one has recorded it. All around. Unfortunately, for him, the protection of a few people is not enough to start. He gently touched the back of his waist to confirm the number of flying knives, and he already had a plan of action. He has become more and more proficient in doing this now, and when he first came to the city, he would be forced into desperation by two people.

"Boom!" The slight noise couldn't be noticed by the wind on the river. But he heard, not only heard, his body had reacted before consciousness, a forward roll, fell from the high platform to the ridge in front, where a crossbow was inserted where he had stood. Things started to get interesting. Although I don't know why the other party started doing it for myself, it is obviously more fun and challenging to play with another lurker than hunting a few boring prey. He began to move quickly on the upper floor of the house, using scattered and chaotic buildings to block the enemy's line of sight, while also observing in secret.

Hunter games in complex cities are completely different from those in forests. There is no dirt to record footprints loyally, and there are no branches and shrubs to expose the target. The duel between the roof eaves is a battle that extremely tests both sides' ability to respond, their athletic ability, and their grasp of the occlusion relationship between buildings. More often than not, you cannot determine whether the enemy is still wandering in this area.

Stepping lightly on the wooden stakes protruding from the wall, his much lighter body than humans gave him a lot of convenience in action. Although the price is that his power will inevitably fall into the disadvantage when confronting humans. This is why the person who trains him tends to teach him skillful combat methods. He must learn to transform his physical disadvantages into advantages in order to truly adapt to combat. Fortunately, that terrible change took away his power and did not fail to compensate him. Hearing and visual enhancement made him an alert killer. But this is not as good as another sense enhancement, smell.

He seemed to be hiding himself from the wandering just started, but he exposed his trace to the other party intentionally or unintentionally. In order to lead the archer away from the archery position. He had to make a circle and go to that location, where the smell of the other party must remain, and as long as he could smell the smell, the other party would never escape from his hand. He soon got the opportunity.

The smell, pungent like a steel needle, before he became this look, he would only have this reaction in the most foul pit. Nowadays, he is accustomed to accepting this brand-new sense and using it as his powerful weapon Remember, this gives him the skills that even his master does not have.

Young women, dressed in leather clothing, mostly leather mixed with the smell of some braid, did not carry a lot of metal weapons, and...does she carry a cat? The information brought by the smell made him frown slightly, and he was a little confused, because the normal assassin should have a rich metallic smell and should not carry a cat. It's just that his doubts didn't last long.

The shadow descended from above, and the claws were only a few centimeters across the eyes. His instinctive response saved his life again, but the other party's attack still revealed the truth under his hood.

"I think you look sneaky, but I didn't expect it to be a mouse." Slender Qianying on the Fang Liang satirized with throaty words. However, the speaker is actually no more normal than the mouse.

Appearing in front of Jerry is a big cat in clothes. Her body shape and figure are no different from humans. The only difference is that her skin has a layer of fine fluff on her skin, so her face is more like a cat. face. The catwoman was staring at the Ratman with a provocative gaze, sticking out her barbed tongue and gently licking the blood on her paws.
