Blood Dragon

Section [-] Assassination

"Assassinate the Vampire Queen??" More than one person gasped.

People here probably have an idea of ​​what kind of power a vampire possesses.Relying on just a few people to assassinate the vampire queen is simply wishful thinking.

"Let me make a statement to everyone first, that is, the queen of vampires, Qin Xin, does not have the outstanding combat power of her subordinates."

"How do you know? Have you fought her before?"

"You don't need to fight, you only need a normal head to deduce it. First of all, no matter where Queen Qinxin goes, she will always be accompanied by her personal guard, Sir Vampire Motu. Except for her, any vampire moves on a daily basis. None of them had the habit of carrying guards. Secondly, according to reliable evidence, the queen had no habit of carrying weapons, except for a long symbolic dagger. She was unarmed. Even that dagger, she never drew it out, and often Forgot to bring it. Third, we learned from various sources that there has never been a record of Queen Qinxin using a weapon, let alone a record of her directly fighting anyone. Finally, we collected information from the Queen's maids, that is The queen relies heavily on magic and servants in her daily life, and rarely uses hands. Based on the above, I can judge that although the queen has powerful magic power, in hand-to-hand combat, as long as she is not given the opportunity to use magic, she should be vulnerable .”

"Didn't you mention the bodyguard just now? With that bodyguard here, what does it matter if she is strong or not?"

"That's why I just summoned everyone today. The vampires suffered heavy losses in the previous war. Just these few days, Lord Motu has left the queen to take up the frontline command. He is indeed strong enough, but I must say Qin Xin's decision was a bit late. Now nothing can save Kalayan's defeat. But if Qin Xin dies sooner, it will reduce the coalition forces' casualties a lot."

"Maybe there is really an opportunity for assassination, but how do we leave the academy?"

"You don't need to leave the academy. Do you remember the special seat in the arena? It's actually a special seat for Queen Qin Xin. And Qin Xin has the habit of watching the gladiatorial performances every once in a while."

"But there are magic guards there. And as you said, even if the queen is not good at hand-to-hand combat, she can still use magic."

"So let's get to the point. I have a scroll to break the magic."

The answer was shocking.The magic-breaking scroll is the nemesis of magic and a weapon of war.Using this thing on the battlefield can invalidate any magic, making those invincible magicians stare blankly for a short period of time.It's just that the price of this thing is really outrageous. The price of a demon-breaking scroll is enough to recruit and train five teams of militiamen or pay the commission for a whole team of knights for a whole year.Worst of all, the magic-breaking scroll is a disposable item.

"As for other things, I have made thorough preparations. Our retreat route has been set, and we can exit the city in time and join the large forces. As for everyone's rewards, the coalition command will definitely not be stingy. Ryan Kingdom is even more There will be a lot of rewards, and I can promise on behalf of the king that all of you can become the lords of the Ruien Kingdom and obtain corresponding territories and hereditary privileges..."

"I won't participate, thank you." Scar pushed away the chair and stood up.

"Is it too risky? It's really dangerous, but please remember, even if we live like this without doing anything, we will die sooner or later. It's better to take risks to survive!"

"It has nothing to do with the risk." Scar walked out the door. "It's just that I don't want to go."

Lace looked at Scar's back, and his brows were confused for a while.

One dawn a few days later, Les knocked on Scar's door.

Scar was there, stretching his upper body, performing upper body movements.Sweat oozes from him, giving his skin a shimmer.Reis realized that this person's body seemed to be composed entirely of muscles, shuttlecocks and bones.Although his body doesn't look particularly thick, the power contained in this body is beyond doubt.This is the combined effect of long-term good exercise and a self-disciplined life.Enough to make a woman admire and a man jealous.

"Three days later, Queen Qinxin will come to the arena again. Since there is no second desert leopard, they decided to organize a high-level group battle. All of us will participate. You too."

Scar stopped and looked at Lace with some puzzlement.

"I know you don't want to participate in the action I planned, but I still want to tell you. Because you are still a human after all? From the standpoint of a human, I hope you can cooperate. After all, this is a war between humans and vampires."

"On that day, we will be divided into two teams and fight. But I have reached a consensus with all the gladiators who will participate. So that day is the best opportunity for us to fight. There will be no second chance for this kind of opportunity. "

"what do you want to say in the end?!"

"I've said everything I wanted to say." Lace turned his head, left Scar's room, and closed the door behind him.When he walked through the door of another room, the people inside gave him a wink.

"How about it?"

"That guy doesn't know what medicine he took wrongly. However, he should not betray us. After all, he is a human being."

Reese went into his room.After making sure that there was no one around, he gently picked up an inconspicuous small box from the corner.The box is so small and flat that it can't hold much.Unless it's a few sheets of paper.

He opened the box, took out a few pieces of parchment inside, and checked it carefully with the expression of a miser checking his gold coins.There are three scrolls, one is the magic scroll, which is used to destroy the magic defense and destroy the magic of the enemy mage; one is the message scroll, which is used to convey information in a short time; the last one is the transmission scroll, which can instantly send a person Transfer a considerable distance.

Every scroll is extremely precious and will play a key and irreplaceable role.Now, these precious scrolls can no longer be kept here, but must be hidden on the body, just in case.

Reis thought very clearly.Before he enters the arena, he will use the message scroll in the lounge to tell the coalition forces outside about his actions.This information will be accepted and then provide indelible evidence of his actions.At that time, no one will compete with him for this great credit.In the arena, he'll use the Spellbreaker Scroll, which will undo all those magics that get in the way, while temporarily depriving Kalayan's mages—including the Queen of the Heart—of their ability to cast spells.It is said that black magic is affected by the scroll for a short time, but he doesn't need much time.Anyway, when the time comes, a group of gladiators will swarm up and kill Qin Xin during the short period of time when she is powerless to resist.

After doing all this, he will lead the gladiators to retreat from the predetermined route.The route was safe, and they would retreat to the block without incident, running to their intended location before the vampires reacted and tore the pack of assassins apart.At that time, the teleportation scroll will play the most critical effect, teleporting him outside the city, to the position of the coalition forces.

Of course, those gladiators would probably have to stay and face a group of angry vampires.But the sacrifice is worth it.With the loss of the Queen Qinxin, the vampires have no leader, and the fall of Kaleian is only a matter of days and nights.

"I'm sorry, brothers." Lace slowly hid the three scrolls, and whispered to himself at the same time.He didn't want to tell these lies on purpose, it was really forced by the situation and he had no choice.The Kingdom of Ryan had never given Leith such great power, allowing him to promise a territory and aristocratic status.The same is true for the coalition forces outside the city.But to get the support of other people and let them participate in this dangerous assassination, how can we do it if there is not enough interest?

Reis suddenly discovered a small accident. There was actually a fourth scroll in the box, and it was also a teleportation scroll.It is likely that those in charge made a mistake, or it was used by the person who delivered the supplies, but it was not used in the end.

Lace thought for a while, but did not move the fourth scroll.He closed the box and put it back where it was.

Action is about to take place, and the long-term planning will finally come to fruition.Once Reis completed this task, he was no longer a mere knight.He would be made a baron, get a rich estate, own a castle, and have a bright future from now on.Of course, the baron is just the beginning. He, Lace, is undoubtedly not comparable to mediocrity.He will gain more status and wealth.He will receive guests in his magnificent castle.For many years to come, he will tell his guests the story of how he took great risks to slay the vampire queen, receiving their adoring gaze and admiration.

This kind of good vision for the future temporarily made him abandon all the unhappiness in front of him.The matter has been done, only the last step is left, as long as Queen Qinxin is killed, everything will be settled.

Of course, in the eyes of a strategist, the last step is definitely not the most difficult step, but a natural consequence that will come naturally.

Lace lay down on the soft and comfortable cushion, this fantasy filled him with inexplicable excitement.So he had to pour a glass of delicious sour plum wine to calm his mood.

"Cheers to the Duke of Reis." Reis raised his glass and said softly to the scene in his fantasy.After speaking, he drank it down.

But the nervousness quickly dissipated.Reis remembered an unstable factor, the guy named Scar.

Although Reis confidently told others that there was no problem with the scar.But in fact, this uneasy factor is still beating drums in his heart.In case Scar reports to the academy... No, this should not be possible.But why did he refuse such a good offer?It doesn't make sense to say that this is a cowardly nature.From a rational point of view, gladiators also know that sooner or later they will fight to the death.In this case, it is better to fight to the death!This is logical.

But... the time is only three days, and within three days, I am afraid that this uncertain factor cannot be resolved.

Assassination?Framed?These are all stupid behaviors.If you draw attention to it, it will ruin the event.

After thinking for a long time, Reis finally gave up.He looked at the empty glass in his hand and sighed.

"After all, nothing is perfect. There is always some risk."
