"Tsk, for a house, for a woman, for an unborn child, to sell the entire organization."

The shadow walked through the dark passage, she looked at the papers in her hand, and under the mask, her face was full of mockery:

"MI7, the League of Assassins... It's really disappointing. ”

"I can't say that, eldest sister, the living are emotionally disturbed is their greatest weakness, and any life has the instinct to protect the cubs, the moment he married Miss Huls, Mr. Bond's future was already doomed, in fact, what surprised me even more was that Bond's sense of crisis, you know, after tonight, even if he turned himself in, it was meaningless."

"This kind of sensitivity can no longer be classified as lucky... He was born to do it. ”

Another voice suddenly appeared behind the shadow, it was a woman dressed about the same as her, the shadow was not surprised by the appearance of this guy, she handed her the document in her hand, and said in a cold tone:

"File it up, Agent Kodana, and then go and deal with the follow-up, the infatuated Mr. Bond is a very important breakthrough point, I want you to dig out all the secrets in his head without hurting him!"

"Understood, eldest sister."

The Blood Handmaiden Kodana held the folder under her arm, and in the darkness she suddenly grabbed the Shadow's wrist and whispered:

"It's good you're back... We all thought, we all thought you were dead..."

This sudden movement made the shadow flutter for a moment, and after hearing Kodana's words, she seemed a little flustered, but soon straightened her face again and shook off Kodana's hand:

"I don't know what you're talking about, Agent Kodana Level 7, please focus on your work, besides, I'm your superior, you should call me "Sir"! And not this messy name! ”

"Come on, Nassa..."

"Enough!"

Hearing the name of the distant one that seemed to be a lifetime, the shadow immediately grabbed Kodana's neck with her backhand, her white mask was almost attached to Kodana's eyes, and she shouted:

"Don't be in front of me... Mention that name! Call me Shadow Chief! Did you hear that? Level 7 Agent! Right now... Go to work! Those Imperial rats who dare to act right under our noses! I'm going to make them pay for their audacity! ”

"Hmm"

Kordana, who was choked by the throat, let out a cry of pain, she blinked her eyes, indicating that she already knew, the shadow looked at her angrily, until ten seconds later, she suddenly let go of her fingers, and then walked into the dark passage in front of her without looking back, behind him, Agent Kodana rubbed her throat and shouted with a grimace:

"I just wanted you to know, Chief Shadow! You're back and we're all so happy! ”

"Stupid!"

The shadow threw down a cold word, and quickened her pace again, as if teleporting, and quickly disappeared into the darkness, and after realizing that she was gone, Kordana stretched out her bright red tongue and licked her lips, she looked at the papers in her hand, and her blood-red eyes exuded a cat-and-mouse look.

"She's certainly happy too... Haha, that old-fashioned old virgin. ”

"But for now, let's see what these little rats want to do."

————————————

The next day, at midnight, the entire city of Darkhearth seemed to follow a schedule that would never change, at this moment, 95% of the life in the city had fallen asleep, and after a busy day's work, few people were in the mood to show up on the streets of Darkhearth at midnight, despite the streetlights everywhere.

The night view of this city, which goes deep underground, is actually brighter than any other city in the world... Well, of course, there are some drunkards or young couples who come out in search of "excitement" and haunt the dark alleys, but it doesn't hurt, after all, with the scale of the Dark Furnace City and its business system, it is already a real "metropolis" in this world.

The Federal Assembly and the local councils have begun to build new urban districts on the surface above the Dark Furnace to cope with the growing number of residents here, and perhaps in another 5-10 years, this once extremely barren land will become a real "city that never sleeps".

But even so, the rare darkness in the city is still the best disguise to hide the reckless behavior of the villains, and the guards patrolling the city are okay to deal with the petty thieves, but it is somewhat impossible for them to chase away the ace agents who have infiltrated the area.

"The road to Mr. X's cell is waiting to be cleared, follow me, gentlemen."

A voice sounded in the silent darkness, accompanied by a wave of energy that was faint to be invisible in the darkness, and one shadow after another began to move silently in the shadows.

These were some of the most elite Assassins from the League of Assassins, each of whom was a Master Assassin.

Although the League of Assassins advertised itself as a permanently neutral organization, after the complete spread of the power of the Darkblade to the northern frontier and the cannon that Tyrion changed the terrain of the northern frontier, the Assassin Alliance, which was completely destroyed in the catastrophe of the collapse of heaven and earth, had to transfer its headquarters to Kalimdor under the threat of the undead, along with the human empire.

This was an incomparably loud slap in the face to the arrogant Assassins who thought they had been manipulating history, and they couldn't even protect themselves under the extreme force displayed by the Dark Blade.

In the midst of this threat, the high-ranking members of the Assassin Alliance, who had narrowly escaped with their lives, completely abandoned their hypocritical permanent neutrality and went straight to the Human Empire, and in a short time, they became the largest intelligence organization of the re-emerging Human Empire.

During the Westward War, the League of Assassins independently undertook 85% of the Empire's intelligence exchanges, fully demonstrating the heritage of a large organization that has been inherited for thousands of years, and after being called up by the King's Council, the League of Assassins also accepted this operation to rescue "Mr. X".

However, the top assassins of the League of Assassins actually know no more about this mysterious Mr. X than the Empire, they only get accurate maps and the help of the Empire, and no one knows what kind of race this Mr. X is, and what kind of secrets he carries.

It stands to reason that such a mission would not be carried out, because there were too many uncertainties, and each of these uncertainties would be fatal for the pursuit of precise and rigorous rescue missions, but the upper echelons of the empire had poured too much energy into this rescue, and it was even said that even His Majesty the Pope was paying attention to this matter.

Once a free organization has joined a larger system, it is difficult to maintain freedom of movement, and under pressure from many parties, the leader of the Assassin League, the Grand Master of the Assassins, "Duke" Jorazi. Ravenhold also had to take the commission.

Since the risk cannot be exempted, then the power of the ontology can only be strengthened to the maximum to deal with the various challenges that may arise, therefore, this assassin formation that infiltrated the Dark Furnace City is a truly shrewd and capable master, each of them has the ability to infiltrate the major cities of the empire alone, and a few of them are bold, and even sneaked into the court of Emperor Lothar in the heyday of the empire.

Even so, infiltrating the Dark Furnace was a difficult task for them, but fortunately, this operation was unexpectedly supported by a small emerging consortium of goblins, and the alchemist named Northumberfogg successfully signed a trade agreement with the Empire with a strange potion as a bargaining chip.

And that strange alchemy product called Neusenferg Elixir can disguise a living person as an "undead" with no breath in a short period of time!

It was with the effect of that potion that these Master Assassins were able to slip into this true dungeon under the layers of the Grimblade Undead.

"Huh"

The spearhead raised his hand in the darkness, a gesture that represented "waiting", and the surging darkness behind him immediately subsided, and under the light of the street lamps in front of him, a heavily armed Darkbladed Undead carried heavy axes and spears, wore heavy armor, and crossed the streets in orderly steps, and in the dark horizon, other teams could be seen, advancing along a complicated and tedious route.

At the intersection of the block leading to a solitary dwelling further down, there are a number of high-ranking Death Knights in full armor, as well as several metal batteries crisscrossing the street.

This kind of extremely tight defense means that there must be an extremely important person imprisoned there.

In the darkness, the Master Assassin Tails carefully concealed himself in the shadows, and in front of him was his former boss, Mr. Winston, or Sir Winston, known as the "Lone Wolf", who had served the Emperor of Lothar in the Imperial Intelligence Division, but after the Emperor's death, the Order was disbanded due to the lack of a leader.

As for why Tails is here, that's another story.

The Master Assassin took out his pocket watch in the shadows and checked the current time, less than five minutes before the start of the operation, but the internal response promised by the Imperial side has not yet been seen, which cannot but make the Assassin lurking in the darkness feel anxious and stressed.

Because if the sabotage operation is not started, it means that the Assassins here will have to adopt the tactics of a frontal breakthrough... And in the face of the position in front of them, even if the Assassins can break through head-on, it means that they will definitely pay huge casualties, and this is a rescue operation, in the core of the Federation like the Black Iron Zone, the Empire does not have enough strength to arrange a well-planned evacuation plan for the Assassins...

This also means that once they have a huge casualty, even if they succeed in rescuing Mr. X, it is impossible to safely bring Mr. X back to the empire under heavy pursuit.

"Boom"

But the moment Tails put down his pocket watch, three loud vibrations came from three corners of the city, and following the eyes of the assassins, a bright light rose from the edge of the dark city.

The almost simultaneous sound of these three sounds caused the Assassins to have a muffled conversation, and it was clear that the Empire's internal response had begun.

Under the gaze of the Assassins, on the well-defended position in front of them, within a few minutes, the undead army guarding this place was moving in batches to different places, and the number of troops left in place became smaller and smaller, and in the continuous dull noise coming from the edge of the city, after nearly 5 minutes, the last undead army guarding this place also moved to the periphery, and finally disappeared from the position.

"Four batteries are still operating!"

As the leader of the rescue team, Winston brought the Assassins together and assigned each other's tasks in sign language, the four turrets had to be cleared, and there must have been other guards inside the huge building.

But time was running out for the Assassins, and they had to act.

"Huh"

Winston's finger waved downward, and for a while, the shadows in the dark alley surged like waves, and the eight master assassins used shadow steps to directly rush into the interior of the four steel batteries, and the black mist-like energy brought out by their figures beating in the shadows looked extremely strange under the light of the street lamp, and at the same time as the sound of weapons clashing in the turret, the remaining assassins rushed to the unguarded bunker-type building as fast as they could.

"Bang"

The heavy steel door was pushed open a gap, and an invisible shadow seeped into the interior of the bunker, which was as brightly lit as the outside, and was the most disgusting environment for the Assassins to operate.

"Clear this place!"

Winston shouted in a deep voice, he drew the dagger at his waist, grabbed a bottle of red liquid with his other hand, raised his hand and smashed it into the Death Knight who rushed out of the room in front of him, the bottle did not know what it contained, after smashing on the ground, the liquid splashed on the Death Knight's body, and without any open flame, the strange flame ignited on the body of the Death Knight.

"Tails! Go, find him! ”

Wielding two short swords, the lone wolf led the Assassins skilled in hand-to-hand combat to fight the Death Knights in the bunker, while the stealthy and searchable stalkers of Tails quickly followed the map's guidance to find the staircase leading to the basement at the bottom.

They went all the way down, barely wasting a minute, and after nearly 20 meters underground, a wide house appeared before them.

On the bed in the house, a dwarf with his back to the Assassins was asleep.

"Mr. X... Great craftsmen, we should have thought of it a long time ago! ”

Tails saw the dwarf's back, and immediately understood who Mr. X was, holding a strange pistol in one hand and a dagger in the other, and occupied the stairs leading to the top for the team, several assassins behind him rushed to the bed, one of the female assassins reached out and shook the sleeping gnome, she whispered:

"Mr. X, wake up... We'll take you..."

As he spoke, the dwarf turned around as if he had woken up, but the female assassin was greeted by a pair of mocking green eyes and a touch of blue hair... Finally, a small mechanical power knife stabbed into her abdomen in the midst of lightning flashes.

In the splatters of blood, a shrill mocking voice rose in the darkness.

"Surprise! （surprise！ ）”
