Embers of Embers

Chapter 532 Attack
This was a premeditated attack, and Lengbing Bay fell into turmoil in an instant. Patrol teams were running on the streets, trying to stabilize the situation, but the forces hidden in Lingbing Bay also became restless, pushing the chaos away. To the extreme, it was impossible for the patrols to control the situation.
Fires were blazing into the sky, people were fighting in the darkness, and blood was flowing everywhere. People could only hide in the dark corners of the house, shivering, praying for the night to pass.
"what happened?"
Lan Jade protected Seliu and hid in the corner. They turned off the lights in the room. In the darkness, Hebold was standing by the window, squinting at the commotion outside.
"The assassination of Floki has begun."
Haybold said coldly, holding a gun and a folding knife in his hands, his muscles tense, ready to go.
"Get ready to go, everyone."
At this time, Seliu stood up from the darkness and said expressionlessly.
"Get out? Are you crazy? Stepping into chaos?" Haibold felt that the girl in front of him was crazy, because this was the safest place.
Seliu shook her head. As a passing spectator, she seemed to be the one who understood the situation best.
"Everyone wants Floki dead, but you need Floki, don't you?"
Seliu looked out the window, the flames were burning, and countless figures were flashing in it.
Lan Jade's face changed slightly, and she understood what Seliu meant, "We have to find Floki, he can't die here."
"As for Lorenzo, in this case, I believe he will also think of this. Maybe he is fighting all the way to Floki's residence now." Haybold's heart was tumbling, but he still calmed down and made made judgment.
"That's why we should go find Floki."
Seliu said again. She looked at Lan Jade and Haibald with clear eyes, seeing through the darkness in their hearts.
"I know you are hiding something from me, right? Maybe escorting me this time is just a cover, and you have other actions to take."
Lan Jade screamed in her heart that something was wrong. She had long heard about Se Liu's keenness. Now that they met, she felt quite pressured. It seemed that no secret could be hidden from the woman in front of her. The two of them had no cover in her eyes.
"Floki is important to you, he must live."
"What do you want to say?" Haybold asked.
"It's very simple. Now go find Floki. We might be able to meet Lorenzo there, kidnap him, and take him to escape from this hellish place." Seleu revealed his plan. "There is no need to fight with Leng." By communicating with Ice Bay, there is no need to ask the king for instructions, easily bypassing the constraints of the lords."
"The civil war in the Viking countries has never ended. We unlucky guys have been dragged into the chessboard. The best decision now is this. Overturn the chessboard and no one will play."
Heibald listened to Seliu's simple and crude plan, and his expression was distorted. He was hesitating and struggling. At this time, Seliu slowly pulled out a delicate dagger, and then winked at Blue Jade.
Lan Jade was stunned. She had no idea what Seliu meant, but Seliu's small movements failed to hide it from her. She saw the sharp dagger being held by Seliu in his hand.
"Wait a minute! Wait a moment!"
Lan Jade panicked. If her guess was correct, Seliu meant to let her cooperate with her to kill Haibode. What happened to this girl?
He grabbed Seliu's hand and asked her to put the dagger back. Seliu looked at Lan Jade with a puzzled expression, and then whispered.
"Hebold is the king's subordinate. Maybe he framed us. Someone will come to kill us soon, and then blame Floki's death on us."
"Why do you think so?" Lan Jade couldn't help but said.
"Isn't this common sense?"
Seliu obviously didn't understand Lan Jade. If Lan Jade hadn't stopped her, she might have really wanted to kill Haybold and then kidnap Floki.
Lan Jade was speechless for a moment. In the past few days, she had always thought Seliu was a delicate and cute doll, but now she discovered that there was a sharp dagger hidden in the soft down.
"Then Heybold, how can you prove that you are one of your own?"
Seeing that his sneak attack failed, since he couldn't kill Heibald, Seliu could only see if Heibald could become a teammate.
Heibald swallowed, and he also saw the dagger. This girl gave him a strange feeling, cold and silent, like a calm sea, without any ripples.
You look into the sea, layers of darkness cover it up, and you can't see anything.
Sure enough, few of Lorenzo's friends were normal people.
Haybold made a conclusion in his mind, and then said seriously.
"Me... Lorenzo and I have a life-long friendship."
Seleu stared at him closely, her ice-blue eyes scrutinizing the Viking in front of her, and soon she sighed.
"Forget it, let's go."
Seliu picked up his coat and wrapped himself tightly. He had a dagger and a folding knife in his pocket, and he also held a pistol. He was fully armed.
"Is she really a duke? Is there something wrong with your Yin Erweg's education?"
Haibode and Lan Jade followed Seliu and asked in a low voice. In the past few days, he had always regarded Seliu as a harmless little girl, but now she was full of murderous intent.
"Studying under Mr. Lorenzo Holmes, that's it." Lan Jade said helplessly.
Heibald didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only follow them. Seleu's words really touched them. Floki could not die no matter what, he was very crucial.
Suddenly the action stopped, Seliu stood in front of the door, motionless.
"what happened?"
Lan Jade asked, and Seliu motioned for her to shush. Listening carefully, there were footsteps.
Several people became serious. Who could be here at this time?But before the others could think of the answer to the question, Seliu had already raised his pistol, pressed it against the door, and muttered to himself.
"With such a big commotion and Floki being seriously ill, Garen shouldn't have any spare power to protect us, right? And why would he protect us? Compared to strangers like us, Floki is the most important to him. Important, isn't it?"
She listened to the footsteps, judged the size of the opponent based on the heaviness of the sound, adjusted the muzzle of the gun, and finally stopped.
"But what if it's Lorenzo? With his ability, he should be able to dodge, and if he didn't dodge, it would be difficult to kill him with this shot...Besides, this doesn't sound like Lorenzo."
Haybold's eyes widened, and he was about to stop Seliu, but he only heard a gunshot, and the bullet penetrated the door, along with the man behind the door. He could hear the sound of blood spilling out and the body falling to the ground.
More voices sounded, the footsteps did not disappear, but became more numerous, low curses sounded, and more people walked towards the door.
"Get down!"
Lan Jade shouted to the two of them and made a move at the same time. She grabbed their heads and forced them to fall down. Then the bullet penetrated the door panel and passed over their heads, leaving debris and dust. Hanging all over her body.
As a high-ranking knight of the purification mechanism, after a brief panic, Lan Jade showed her professionalism, drew her pistol, and fired at the riddled door panel, signaling Seleu and Hibald to retreat.
The counterattack took effect, the gunfire behind the door weakened a little, but then there was an excited roar, and the blood-stained man rushed out, with a ferocious face, holding a long knife in his hand, blocking his chest, and forced He blocked Lan Jade's shot with his body, buying time for those behind him to get closer.
The death-defying impact was frightening. Even in such dim light, Haibold could see the enemy's madness.
"Go away!"
Lan Jade swung up the folding knife, and a clear sword flashed. The man's head flew up, but the enemies behind him had already gotten close enough. When he pulled the trigger, bullets spurted out.
A chill surged in his heart, and Lan Jade had no energy left to dodge. However, the man's body did not fall down. It stirred up bursts of blood mist, blocking most of the gunshots and buying Lan Jade some time.
"Get out of the way!"
Seliu, who was lying on the ground, yelled at her. She was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the man's legs with her hands to prevent him from falling so quickly.
Lan Jade ducked into the bunker sideways. She wanted to retreat with Seliu, but it was obviously too late. Seliu let the corpse fall and press on her, while she held her breath, like a dead person, and piled up with the corpses. together.
"What did Lorenzo teach her?"
Lan Jade looked at the pile of corpses and couldn't help but sigh. She saw Se Liu's eyes appearing between the gaps in the corpses. She was winking at Lan Jade again, but Lan Jade couldn't understand Se Liu's meaning at all.
I'm really sorry that I didn't learn from Lorenzo!
The random thoughts in his mind only lasted for a short while. The crisis was not over yet. Lan Jade held his weapon and hid in the darkness, looking for opportunities to kill these enemies.
"ocean……"
Lan Jade called in a low voice, but she stopped as soon as she opened her mouth. She suddenly discovered that Haibold was nowhere to be found at this moment, even though he was still beside her just now.
Could it be that Seleu was right, Heybold obeyed the king's order, and they were going to take the blame on him, not only that, but he was also going to kill everyone who was doing it.
Lan Jade couldn't help but think that the alliance between Yin Erweg and the Viking countries was inevitable. Under the threat of the Rhine League, even if several of them died here, it would not affect the alliance.
Bullets fired randomly, smashing the board into pieces and falling to the ground with a clatter.
Haibode was missing, and Seliu pretended to be a dead body, but now Lan Feicui's situation has become extremely dangerous, and she might die here in a second.
Taking a deep breath to drive away all the strange thoughts, Lan Jade squatted on the ground.
These enemies were very strange. They looked like a mob with no professional qualities. After breaking into the room, they started smashing things randomly and yelling. In their eyes, this might be a war cry.
The sound was getting closer, Lan Jade swung the jackknife, the cold edge reflected the blood red.
Compared with monsters, these humans are like docile little animals. Although they are fighting alone, Lan Jade is not afraid.
A pistol appeared in front of her eyes, followed by an arm. The man held the gun and approached Lan Jade, but he did not notice the presence of Lan Jade.
At this moment, Lan Jade stepped out of the bunker, slashed fiercely with the folding knife, and cut off the wrist holding the gun. The man wailed, and then his voice turned into a whimper.
The folding knife cut off his throat and penetrated his chest again. Lan Jade raised the hilt of the sword vigorously and held the man's body in front of her. He was not dead yet and struggled hard, but the more he struggled, the more he broke. The knife will tear through more flesh and blood until it loses all its strength.
This attracted the attention of others, and they turned their guns and pointed them at Lan Jade. She didn't know how many bullets a flesh and blood body could withstand, and Lan Jade didn't dare to bet all on a corpse.
She held the body with one hand, and held a pistol in the other hand. She put it on the body's shoulder and shot at the others.
Without giving any chance to fight, these enemies seemed not to know what death was. They strode towards Lan Jade, letting bullets penetrate their bodies, forcing Lan Jade to death.
This completely disrupted Lan Jade's plan. She originally wanted to rely on fighting to delay time and look for opportunities, but in the end, they just walked over without giving any chance.
Lan Jade felt that she was facing a group of monsters, and the same was true for monsters, who were not threatened by death and longed for blood and flesh.
The bullets were empty, and Lan Jade had no time to reload. She threw away the pistol, pulled out another folding knife, and was about to fight bloody battle, when suddenly an exciting roar sounded.
Haybold didn't know when he got around to the enemy's rear. He roared and chopped off one body after another with a folding knife. His giant bear-like body burst out with incredible power. He strangled the enemy's arm with one hand. Smash their heads against the others, then stab them with a jackknife, piercing them all together.
This Viking actually used blue emerald as bait, attracting everyone's attention, and he came out at this critical moment to turn the tide of the battle.
Compared with Maluli's battle, what he saw before him was hardly a threat. Heibald pushed all the way and strangled the others with the help of Blue Jade. Before he could rest, the only remaining enemy stood unsteadily. Standing up, he raised his pistol and pointed it at the unsuspecting two people.
He tried to pull the trigger, but he noticed something. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a sharp dagger zooming in front of his eyes. Seleu crawled out of the pile of corpses and struck a fatal blow, but the blow was blocked. .
The dagger penetrated the man's palm, and the blade gently touched his throat, but there was no possibility of going deeper. Seliu may be cunning, but in terms of strength, she is still too cowardly.
The man didn't care about the pierced palm and showed a ferocious smile. But the next second, he heard the crisp sound of metal. From the brass blade spine, a sharp steel thorn pierced out along the sharp metal. Entered the man's throat.
His eyes were full of disbelief. Seliu held the dagger in his hand and pulled hard, slicing his palm open and slit the throat that was pierced by the sharp thorn. The man covered the wound and returned it. Before he could raise his gun, he was knocked down by another taller figure.
This little time is enough for Hibold to do a lot of things, such as rushing all the way and giving the enemy a fatal blow.
Pulling out the folding knife from the corpse, Hybold panted and looked at the mess on the ground, and then he looked at Seliu and Lan Jade.
"I do not know anything."
Haybold said frankly, like a lost bear.
"So, do any of you recognize this sign?"
Seliu struggled to lift a corpse up. His clothes had been taken off, revealing his increasingly cold chest, with a dark cross carved on it.
