Chapter 52: Ambush and Anti-Ambush I

Once an assassin who has played various roles in order to get closer to his targets, Dean will never underestimate his counterpart: the Thief.

In fact, the thieves' unions themselves accept various assassination missions.

From the nobles to the common people, as long as the price is right, they can become the target of the thieves' union.

However, the thieves' guild will not object to the assassins who run orders and make cameos - there is an objective commission for each task completed, and there is no need to send their own people.

This kind of thing, as long as there is no problem with the head, will accept it.

Of course, anyone who wants to eat alone will be hunted down by the local thieves' guild - the kind that must be cut down to the roots.

Therefore, as the head of a thief's union, it is necessary to be ruthless, but it is not uncommon to be able to achieve such a bold and reckless process.

Dean was sure that even if the Tyre Territory was a frontier land, if the Lords invited guests to a banquet and all the guests were assassinated, it would be a horrific event; Of course, Baron Tyre, as a lord, will naturally become the biggest laughing stock in the aristocratic circle of the Emerald Kingdom.

As for why so sure all the guests?

Naturally, it was because of the number of thieves exposed before - if it was only for him, who was not famous at the moment, it was obviously impossible to send four good hands.

According to the rules of the thieves, a group of two is the most suitable for a target like him, and even one person is possible.

Now, however, there are four of them - it is clear that the thieves are doing this in order to ensure that they can 'assassinate' him in the fastest way possible, and then, while taking advantage of the chaos, to accomplish other important objectives.

As for who is the target?

Dean couldn't think of anyone other than the owner of the Snow Bear House who could make it difficult for these thieves.

Of course, Dean absolutely did not allow this—neither the Baron of Tyre nor the owner of the Snow Bear House was allowed by him.

Perhaps, the Baron of Tyre is a bit utilitarian and a snob, but the other party is still loyal and upright, and more importantly, the other party is still the most important part of his plan in the next plan.

And that Huck was a member of the knights he had already prescribed, so naturally there was no room for error.

Therefore, the enemy and the enemy have already been determined.

What's more, the thieves apparently also listed him as one of their targets.

Under such circumstances, Dean would not allow the thieves to live - both public and private.

Of course, there are some things that Dean still needs to do before that-

"Xilun, Ike, tell everyone to rest in place first!"

Dean commanded.

"Yes, Commander!"

The two militia captains replied in unison.

……

In the evening, most of the town of Tyre, except for the braziers at the gate and the torches in the hands of the patrolling soldiers, was plunged into darkness - oil lamps and other items, if not luxuries, would not hesitate to save them.

So, dinner basically starts at this time.

At the end of dinner, it's time to go to bed early - after all, the nights in Tyre are quite cold, and a warm bed is the best choice for most people.

However, it is precisely because of this that the eastern part of the town of Tyre can be revealed, and the place where Baron Tyre is located is brightly lit and lively.

The people of Tyre, who were supposed to rest early after dinner, were wrapped in thick animal furs and stood at the entrance to Tyre, whispering.

Obviously, they were all curious about the distinguished guest who had been invited by their lord.

However, the crowd did not block the entrance to the town.

Maintained by the patrolling guards, the town of Tyre maintained a fairly spacious entrance, while the rest stood behind the guards.

Not only the natives of Tyre, but also the merchants who came from other places also had this curiosity, and they rarely crowded into the crowd despite the cold.

Of course, in addition to these people with real curiosity, there are also some ill-intentioned people inside.

A few thieves dressed in local costumes, like locals, crowded into the crowd, but the eye contact between them told people that they were different.

It's just that very few people can notice this kind of exchange - Dean, of course, is among the few people.

His group had already arrived two kilometers outside of Tyre an hour earlier, but Dean did not go directly to Tyre, but he left the group alone and infiltrated Tyre, observing - Dean would not dare to be careless about the thieves who wielded poisoned crossbow arrows and daggers.

After all, the rest of the people in his ranks, except for him himself, who were sure to dodge the surprise attack, were absolutely impossible, and those poisons, once they touched the blood, were obviously fatal in the absence of the potion.

As for the subordinates he has selected, Dean is reluctant to let them die in this senseless assassination.

As for contacting the Baron of Tyre?

Dean was sure that once the massive search began, the thieves would disappear without a trace.

Before, Baron Tyre's unsuccessful search is the best proof - Dean will never treat the other party as a newcomer, and he has been able to persist under Baron Tyre's search for so many years, although the role of the tax collector cannot be ignored, but it also shows that they have a very hidden nest that is not easy to be seen.

What's more, with the character of the Baron of Tyre, if he really went to contact him, and really gave birth to such a thing; However, if the other party gets nothing again, it is likely to make Baron Tyre feel a big loss of face - although there will be no revenge, it will undoubtedly be difficult for Dean to obtain the position of head of the Knights of Fecharon.

Therefore, it is best to solve it yourself.

Dean silently paid attention to the thieves in the crowd, the number and position of the other party, so that he could clearly grasp the other party's intentions.

"There were six people in total, and four of them were close to the 'Snow Bear House'...... 'Killing' me with a crossbow bolt will inevitably cause chaos, and Huck will definitely come out to check it out, and then you will have to face an ambush of four people......"

Dean glanced at it again, slowly exited the crowd, and then, once again, quietly left Tyre, returning to where his subordinates were on standby.

"Captain!"

The two militia captains quickly walked out of the leeward.

"Six thieves in all, two of the crowd at the gate of the town, will come and attack me; The remaining four are near Snow Bear's House, and if there is a disturbance in the crowd, they will take the opportunity to ambush Huck - I will take care of the two thieves who attacked me myself, and you have to hold them back...... Silen, Chad, with your archery skills, there should be no problem! ”

Dean waved his hand to the two militia captains and the other militiamen, and began to draw a simple diagram of the snow, and deliberately marked the approximate location of the six thieves.

Then Dean went on to admonish, "Remember, be vigilant and be ready for battle—but, except for Siren and Chad, the rest of you, just be vigilant, don't take up your weapons, and listen to me!" ”

Chad, a young man who has proven himself in previous battles.

In addition to Chad, it is naturally Silen, a young man with knightly qualifications, who has the best archery skills.

"Yes, Captain!"

The two young men replied solemnly.

"Very good, let's get out! They've been waiting for a long time! ”

Dean nodded, turned on his horse, flicked his whip, and with the crunch of a 'snap', ran in the direction of Tyre.

The two-kilometer journey, under the premise of having a war horse, even if it is just a uniform advance, ten minutes is more than enough to poke and prod.

Da, Da......

The sound of horses' hooves was heard clearly in the town of Tyre.

Suddenly, the waiting crowd began to stir, and they all wanted to see who was coming, but the two thieves stood still with their feet rooted; After all, they have found this sweet spot and don't need to go any further.

In fact, with guards, the farther forward you are, the more dangerous it is.

After all, in the event of a riot, the crowd not only crowded the guards, but also them.

Therefore, the farther away from the guards, the safer they are.

You know, they're just thieves, not dead soldiers, and they don't need to be burned.

The sound of horses' hooves became clearer, and even the ground shook slightly, and when a group of horsemen appeared at the gate of the town, people noticed Dean at first sight - apart from the posture of the horse, the uniform of the Central Knights was obviously very conspicuous.

The horses were very fast, and although they were close to the town gate, they obviously did not mean to decrease.

It wasn't until they had passed through the town gates that the horses began to dwindle, and by the time the horses actually stopped, Dean and his mounts were already in Tyre.

Sou!

And just as Dean stopped, a crossbow shot out.
