[Assassin's Creed] How to tame the Italian cannon king

On the second day, with the help of Anna's proposal and the prostitutes under Sister Theodora, Ezio successfully stole Dante's golden mask, mixed into the party, and took advantage of the gorgeous fireworks lighting up in the sky, While the explosion was deafening, the Hidden Gun ended the life of Marco Babaig, one of the shortest-serving doges in the history of Venice.

"Rest in peace." Ezio said to himself, not slowing down his pace of leaving.

A few days later, Ezio and Federico met Agostino Barbaigue under the recommendation of Antonio.

Obviously, the other party didn't feel anything about his brother's assassination, and was even a little happy.After all, he didn't want Venice to be under the control of the Borgia faction in Rome. Venice should be a republic.

In this case, Agostino will soon be elected as the new governor by the Committee of 41.

When he came this time, he wanted to ask the assassin for help—except his cousin Silvio, because he occupied the arsenal in Venice and stationed two hundred mercenaries there.

The previous doge had almost exhausted Venice's financial resources—just because of the fireworks on that ship, even if Agostino became the doge, he still couldn't control the city without an arsenal.

Therefore, the first task now is to find Bartolomeo de Alviano, the mercenary leader.Only with his help can they truly occupy the arsenal.

Ezio and Federico naturally took over the task, and as a reward, Agostino gave Ezio a page of an ancient book he had found.This was a surprise, and Ezio took it cautiously, and walked towards Leonardo's studio.

Seeing his friend shouting "How exciting!", Ezio smiled and handed him the page of the ancient book.However, after learning that Leonardo is about to leave Venice and go to Milan to serve Lodovico Sforza, he can only bless his friend, and at the same time have a headache whether the two will have a chance in the future Meet.

Fortunately, before leaving, Leonardo gave Ezio another box of bullets needed for the Hidden Gun, and explained that the ancient book page this time should be the double-edged dagger that matched Ezio's metal wristband The blueprint is not complete.But the rest have obvious connections to other pages—like map-like symbols.

Ezio once again thanked Leonardo for his help, "I'm so glad I have a friend like you, Leon!"

"I think so too, Ezio. Sometimes, I think you just need someone who really cares for you." He paused, then smiled, "But now it seems that you don't lack such a person."

Of course Ezio knew who he was referring to, "Without Anna, I can't even imagine what life is like now."

Leonardo patted him on the shoulder, "Then, I wish your work goes well. I hope that one day, your work will come to an end and let you take a good rest."

Having said that, Ezio's eyes were a little dazed, but he didn't answer, but thanked his friend again for his kindness.

Sometimes, he really didn't know when this struggle with the Knights Templar would be the end. The opponent's forces were deeply intertwined, and it seemed that there was no way to eliminate them forever.Even the question Anna asked him that time, he still couldn't give him a satisfactory answer.

What does Assassin's Creed mean?

After learning that the mercenary leader Bartolomeo had been captured, Ezio and Federico went to the arsenal.Under the careful sneak of the two, Bartolomeo was found without being noticed by anyone. The mercenary leader was hung in a cage in the air.

Bartholomew scolded the surrounding guards there, and those words... were very vulgar.This made the soldiers really angry. Obviously, they did not stab Bartolomeo to death because of orders.

There was no doubt that they intended to let the sun of the day and the chill of the night—plus thirst and hunger—finish his life, unless he relinquished his resistance and spoke|accounted for it before then.But judging from Bartholomew's performance, he would never choose the latter path.

Ezio and Federico looked at each other. The tacit understanding of the two sides' long-term cooperation allowed them to understand each other's intentions without words. They rushed out and swung the poison blade again and again, almost solving most of the problems before they could react. before the rest had time to call out to the surrounding guards, drawing their swords and ending their lives.

Bartolomeo watched all this in astonishment.Until the surroundings returned to silence.

Ezio looked up at Bartolomeo in the cage, "Can you jump from there?"

"If you can open the cage door, I can jump in like a flea."

And Ezio managed to startle Bartolomeo once more, grabbing the edge of the cage with just one jump and picking the lock with the spear Federico handed him.Ezio opened the cage door and at the same time let go of the iron bars, and landed on the ground with feline grace.

Afterwards, ignoring Bartholomew's questions, the three finally escaped from the arsenal and returned to Bartholomew's headquarters in St. Peter's Basilica.

However, the mercenaries were not currently strong enough to fight Silvio Barbaig, so Ezio and Federico had to return to the arsenal again.

There, they found the cages where the remaining 150 mercenaries were held, based on the information revealed in the chatter of the guards. It was similar to Bartholomew's hanging cages. Unfortunately, what was waiting for them was not the guards, but the pool. There seemed to be some terrible creature swimming in the dark and oily water.

This intention is very obvious at first glance, Baba Yige is going to persuade them to surrender, if the persuasion fails, they will be drowned.

Most of the surrounding guards are drinking, after all, they don't think there is any danger in this situation.But one of them was vigilant, looking tall and terrifying.Ezio recognized it immediately, it was Dante Molo!That is to say, after his master Marco was killed by himself, the giant turned to Marco's cousin, the judge Silvio Babaig - after all, the latter had already made it clear that he was against but Ding's favor.

The cages were obviously falling, and Ezio quickly ran to the mechanism that controlled it, inserted an ordinary sword into the middle of the gear, and the device stopped, and this movement of course made the soldiers notice the cages The decline stopped.At this moment, Dante, who had been paying attention to the surrounding environment, grabbed Ezio by the back of his neck and smashed him against the wall beside him, but Federico was still dealing with many other soldiers, There was no way to help him.

Dante looked at him as if he had fainted, and told the people around him: "Look at him." After that, he walked towards Federico.

Ezio shook his drowsy head, he knew that under the siege of so many people, Federico was in a very dangerous situation.What's more, a Dante was added.

He drew a throwing knife from his belt, thankful that he hadn't forgotten the knife throwing technique he had learned in Monteriggioni, and threw it with deadly precision.The soldier who was left behind by Dante fell to the ground, groaned, and reached for the throwing knife between his eyes in vain.

Then, Ezio tried his best to stand upright against the wall, raised his arm, aimed at Dante, and ended the man's life with the Hidden Gun.

Once Dante died, Federico, who was relieved a lot, immediately solved the others, and together with Ezio, released all the prisoners in the cage.

It was only when the men heard Federico's words that they realized that their leader had been liberated.So they all rushed back to St. Peter's Square, giving Bartholomew a touching reunion with his men.

The author has something to say:
