It's dark at night.

As the minutes passed, the originally lively new city gradually became quiet. After a hard day's work, people have gone home to sleep, and only the militia and garrison soldiers are still on patrol. If it were the usual thing, night patrols would always be a distressing thing. But now with glow-in-the-dark crystals, that's not a problem.

"Your Excellency, Lord Lord, is really generous!"

A veteran looked up in admiration as he looked down at the street in front of him. I saw that under the soft and bright light of the luminous crystal, all the main streets of the new city were as bright as day. Looking at the scene in front of him, the veteran couldn't help but be amazed. He was originally a guard in Yeyin City, in order to escape the war in the previous civil war, he dragged his family to Passus, because he had experience in the garrison, so in Passus he also returned to his old job and did his old job again. Originally, it didn't make much difference to him whether it was Passus or anything else, as long as he could have a place to live. But after coming to Passus, especially after entering the new town, his mind changed.

Like everyone else, he had heard a number of rumors about the lord before coming to Passus, and now it seemed that at least one of the rumors was true, whether the other rumors were true or not. That is, this lord is quite rich, so many magic crystals used for lighting are not a small number, he once followed the previous master to the palace of Bardes, even there is no such luxurious decoration.

But for the guards, this luxury couldn't be better, knowing that vigil was the last thing the guards wanted to do. Because of the lack of lighting, even in the big city it is dark at night. It's up to them to patrol around with torches, so that they can find something. But there are so many lighting crystals right now. Every road was lit as if it were daylight -- no, it should be said that it was brighter than daytime, and even the hair of a wild cat running out of the woods next to it could be seen clearly when you stood on this side of the road. Nothing could be more important to the guards in charge of night patrols. They don't have to risk their lives to explore every dark place, they don't need to walk on the road and worry about blades that might fly from the darkness, such a good thing can happen anywhere.

"Okay, don't look around, look around. Remember that this is a critical period, and don't make any mistakes anyway, or I'll ask you!! Remember, this job doesn't come easily, and who doesn't want to do it, leave early! ”

Thinking of this, the veteran shook his head, throwing all his boring thoughts behind him, and then he waved his hand. shouted to his subordinates. And when he spoke, those subordinates also nodded. They also understood what the veterans meant, knowing that the new city is now under construction and will be expanded in the future. If they can successfully protect the city. Then when the new city is built, they will all be upgraded by one level! This is what the beautiful lady promised them personally! It was only after a great effort that I escaped the war and came to such a beautiful and picturesque place. Who doesn't want to be able to live a good life?

"Alright, let's get ready to start patrolling. The area we patrol today is the Ivy Zone, so keep your eyes peeled out! ”

As he spoke. The veteran turned his head away, and then he froze for a moment, then quickly retracted his steps and turned to look at a pile of stones not far away. I don't know if it's an illusion, just now, he seemed to see a dark shadow moving there, although logically speaking, it is difficult to find anything wrong on such a night. But because of the bright light emitted by those luminous crystals, the surrounding dark shadows are very clear. And as a veteran who had experienced a lot of battles, he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with the black shadow that had just flickered. Thinking of this, the veteran suddenly drew his sword, stared at the pile of stones, and then pouted at the soldier beside him.

"You go and see."

"Yes, Captain!!"

Hearing the old soldier's order, the two soldiers immediately drew their weapons, and then surrounded the stones one by one. And just as they reached the front of the stone, the two looked at each other, and then suddenly slashed forward, only to see the shining sword light cut a staggered cross in the darkness, instantly piercing the original shadow.

However, there was not the slightest reaction there.

But the two of them did not let this relax, on the contrary, they clenched their long swords and glanced around vigilantly, before nodding to the veteran.

"Report to the captain, no suspicious person found."

"Okay."

The veteran was also relieved to hear the answer, and then he waved his hand.

"Let's go, let's continue patrolling."

"Yes."

It wasn't until the patrol's footsteps were far away that Treddie breathed a sigh of relief, only to see his body bend suddenly, and the next moment he jumped from a large tree next to the stone pile, and fell silently to the ground like a cat. However, this did not make Treddy's mood much better, on the contrary, his face was gloomy, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. I have to admit that this new city is very well guarded, although it seems that there are not many people, but every patrol area is very well guarded. After entering the new city disguised as a worker, Treddy had already investigated the city's security and found that it was typically loose on the outside and tight on the inside. If you just look at it as an ordinary person, you will find that unlike other places, there are few heavily armed patrols on the streets, and even a few soldiers are not seen on the city walls. It seems that a simple and clever way can completely defeat this flashy city. But after careful investigation, Treddy realized that it was a complete illusion, and the city's designers divided the entire city into three floors, each divided into nine areas. Each of the nine districts has three patrols and a stronghold of the Knights. If something goes wrong, the patrol will sound the alarm, and the knight in disguise on the tower at the top of the area will immediately arrest someone. Their stronghold is located at the highest point of each area, and the entire area can be seen almost at a glance. This, combined with the city's unique design, makes it impossible for people to escape their pursuit.

Although with Treddy's ability, it is only a matter of effort to kill the soldiers of these garrisons, but once this ubiquitous security network is alarmed, then the gain outweighs the loss. So after realizing that something was wrong, he decisively chose to hide in the tree next to him. Fortunately, the shade of the tree was lush enough, and the attention was only focused on the ground and not the sky, so they would ignore him, otherwise, I don't know what trouble would have happened.

But fortunately, he finally avoided it.

Thinking of this, Treddy wiped a cold sweat, and then quietly drilled forward along the shadows again. At this moment, his figure suddenly froze, and then Treddy immediately turned his head and looked around suspiciously. I don't know if it's an illusion, but the moment he turned around just now, Tredy suddenly felt like he was being watched. But when he looked around, he found that there was no one around. And in his perception, there is indeed no life in this area.

Maybe I'm too nervous.

Thinking of this, Treddy shook his head, then turned and walked forward.

After that, Treddy's operation was relatively smooth, although he said that he encountered the garrison twice in a connection, but because the new city was under construction, all kinds of stones and timber were piled up everywhere. As a top Assassin, it was easy for Treddie to evade the search of these guards, so it didn't take long for him to come under a high bridge in the southern part of the new city.

Here it is.

Looking at the beautiful building in front of him, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Treddy's mouth, which was the area they were responsible for building. Treddy had already inquired and knew that this section of the bridge was responsible for connecting the upper and middle levels, and that if this could be blown down, the area below would be completely destroyed with an explosion. And the few remaining companions of his country should have followed his instructions at this point, and Tredy could be sure that if he could destroy the city that had not yet been built, he would be able to slap the Pachanon family in the face.

Arriving at his reserved location, Treddy hid in the shadows, and then he reached into his arms and pulled out a Flame Stone. It is an extremely unstable magic crystal that contains the power of the fire element. Just add a little bit of stimulation and it will explode completely. It is so powerful that it can even completely raze a small village to the ground. Of course, this kind of high-purity Flame Stone is quite rare, but as a former royal agent, it is not surprising that Treddy would have such a thing.

Next, just set the flame stone on the pillar in front of you and then cause an explosion.

Thinking of this, the corners of Treddy's mouth curled slightly, and then he reached out and carefully picked up the Flame Stone. But just as he was about to put it into action, suddenly, a slight wind sound sounded from behind Trady.

Not good!!

As an agent who has experienced countless lives and deaths, Treddy knew in an instant that something was wrong, and he immediately abandoned his original plan, rolled forward, and then jumped up and threw himself into the shadows next to him. It was too late, and almost as soon as Treddy left the ground, he caught a few soft "poof" sounds in his ears. And when Treddy disappeared into the shadows and turned his head to look, he realized that there were dozens of sharp daggers in the direction he had been before, and they were stuck straight into the hard stone slab, and in the light of the magic light, he could even see the blue reflection on the blade. Treddy is not a rookie, he can tell at a glance that these daggers are smeared with poison, as long as they break a little skin, I'm afraid they will be hopeless!

But what's going on? Why would anyone attack him, could it be that his plan has been exposed?

Before Tredy could figure out the question, suddenly, with a soft "whoosh" sound, several daggers cut through the darkness and flew towards the target in front of him again! (To be continued......)
