Chapter 366: Bloodbath
Around four o'clock in the morning is the darkest time of the day, and it will be at least some time before the dawn light breaks through the sky and illuminates the whole world. It can be said that now is the best time to do something shady, especially when it comes to launching raids and assassinations that are absolutely unexpected. Henry and his party had already returned to the gate of the Maiwa Guild from the Shadow Thief Headquarters, and there was suddenly a stranger in the team that was supposed to be four, and he was none other than Arcarnes, who had just woken up not long ago.
The legendary thief saw the evidence of Maiva's betrayal and was immediately furious. It's the first time in so many years that he's been cheated so badly, and he almost became a slave of the vampire queen Bardi. This kind of thing is changed and ordinary people will not swallow their anger, let alone an assassin master with excellent martial arts. Renault. Bloodhead's repeated dissuasion could not stop Arcanis, so he had to join him in the purge.
"What are you going to do? Rush in and kill them all, or sneak in quietly and catch Maiwa first. The legendary thief asked in a deep, magnetic voice. Two daggers flew up and down in his hands, but they didn't cut even a single bit of skin.
"Versatile" Henry almost immediately thought of the name of this ability. This is an ability that only thieves who have broken through the limits of their reflexes, allowing them to successfully use not only a variety of magic and magic scrolls, but also almost all kinds of weapons, even those with special requirements for users such as the Holy Avenger.
Of course, this is a skill exclusive to legendary thieves, and the entire Main Material Plane can be counted on almost two hands. It is precisely because of the "all-round skill" that Arcanis will make many people very jealous. Because he already has the strength to assassinate the legendary caster with the scroll.
"I'd like to hear your opinion. After all, you're the real expert at it. "Henry really didn't know much about the thieves' guild's process for dealing with internal traitors. After all, Robert is quite tightly controlled by his subordinates. There has never been a single case of rebellion.
Arcanis had a friendly smile on his face, and he still had a very good impression of the legendary mage who had saved him in front of him.
"Generally speaking, this kind of purge is all killed from the inside out and replaced with a group of people, regardless of the reason. However, since you are going to go it alone, I suggest that it is better to catch Maiwa directly and torture all the secrets, so that most people, except for a few diehards, will honestly accept the status quo. ”
"Wouldn't there be any hidden dangers in doing so? For example, those who are disgruntled are likely to make small moves in secret. In addition, there may be a few diehards who have slipped through the net and are hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. "Henry's advantage is that he will definitely ask questions about things he doesn't understand, otherwise he won't make decisions lightly. Especially if you are about to take over a complex criminal organization like this, if you are not careful, you can get into trouble.
"Hidden dangers? Hahahaha, what do you think the shadow thief is? Those zealous hearts of the Paladins with their minds full of goodness and order? No kidding, we are just a for-profit criminal organization, as long as we can make money and obey orders, it doesn't matter if we are careful, otherwise those small actions that Maiwa did in private would have been killed hundreds of times. ”
Arcanis pointed out the nature of the Shadow Thief with a burst of blood. That's right, it's an organization united by a large number of selfish and insatiable guys. Each of them has his own ideas, even with strict systems and cruel punishments. It is still inevitable that there will be things like Maiwa colluding with outsiders in order to achieve the goal. Of course, Renault. The bloodhead was not far behind, and he sold all the union's territory in Askatra.
It is clear that Henry is now faced with a dilemma. If you choose to keep more manpower, then you will inevitably have to leave a lot of uneven subordinates, and it is not excluded that there will be spies from other forces. As for cleaning it all out, although it can keep the organization absolutely healthy, it is bound to be paralyzed until Robert arrives.
Just as he hesitated, a "teleportation" suddenly brought Edwin's voice to his ears. "Hey! When exactly are you going to do it? I've gathered about forty people here, and they're getting more and more together, and I'm afraid it won't be long before Maeva notices it. ”
"We're already at the door, let's do it now. You're in charge of leading these people to clear out the enemies on the second and third floors, and as for the first floor and basement, I'll take care of it myself. Henry immediately responded with "teleportation". After hearing that there were already forty people, he finally didn't have to worry about it, as long as he controlled them well, it would definitely be no problem to hold up a shelf, and the rest would wait for Robert to make adjustments.
The whispered conversation was clearly heard by several people, and they all knew that the next step would definitely not be to infiltrate, so they all drew their weapons and prepared for battle. Arcanis had always liked to act alone, but after a nod of his head, he disappeared in an instant. The legendary thief's stealth skills are as terrifying as rumored, and his use of environment and light has been taken to the extreme.
Kogan bloodthirstily licked his newfound magic axe, a hideous expression on his face. "I feel like I'm already boiling, let's go, let's have a bloody."
After he finished speaking, he rushed towards the door of the union with his little short legs, and smashed the heads of the two lookouts one by one before they could react. The dwarf licked the brains that splashed on his face and let out a wild laugh. The next thing was to rush straight into the hall, and there were shouts and screams from inside.
Viconia pursed her lips and muttered, "What a brutal and rough fellow, but it's not bad as a slave." ”
"You'd better never let Kogan hear that, I don't want my team to make trouble at such an hour, understand?" Henry sternly warned. After less than a day, he finally knew that the team was full of evil camps. None of these selfish guys are fuel-efficient lamps, and the slightest bickering can turn into an armed conflict.
Maybe the warning had an effect, maybe the Queen of the Poisonous Tongue didn't bother to argue at all, but in short, the matter was forced to be suppressed. The three of them were ready for battle and walked into the door of the union without saying a word. As soon as they entered the room, they saw a world full of blood and minced meat.
Drenched in blood, Kogan wielded an axe that shimmered with magical brilliance and slashed at a thief who had fallen to the ground, and with a scream, blood splattered out. He spat at the corpse on the ground, stood up and laughed and shouted, "Hahahaha! You're late, and I've already killed all the debris at the door. It's been a long time since I've participated in this kind of physical and mental health exercise. Smelling the sweet scent in the air is really invigorating. ”
Henry sighed as he looked at the severed limbs on the ground and the sticky plasma under his feet. Obviously, the ferocity of the dwarves is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is estimated that it will be a big problem to clean up in a while. I have to say that Kogan is really worthy of the chaotic and evil camp, if he is not an unbeliever, I am afraid that he will most likely be absorbed by some evil god churches.
Viconia's eyes were filled with fear, as a dark elf she had never seen such a bloodthirsty warrior, and her ferocity was no worse than that of her own people. Especially the corpses on the ground that were cut into sections, not many people made them. She was a little scared when she thought about it now, if she really broke out just now, it was very likely that she would lie down.
Although Henry was a little dissatisfied with this method of killing people everywhere, he still nodded and praised: "Good job, you just like it." By the way, where did Arcanis go? I don't seem to see him. ”
"That guy stabbed the two people guarding the stairs to death, and went straight to the basement." The dwarf replied, rubbing the blood on his hands. Due to the fact that there were so many killings, the strips of non-slip cloth wrapped around the handle of the axe were soaked and had begun to slip.
"Fed, Viconia, you two go to the second floor to help Edwin, and as for Kogan, you can come to the basement with me." After saying that, Henry blessed himself with the "Iron Skin Technique", and then pulled out the double knives on his waist. He didn't plan to use any spells anymore, after all, the battle situation had developed to this point, and Maiva didn't have any chance of turning the tables at all.
The Queen of Poisonous Tongue tried to shake off the "years", and said with a sneer: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this red-robed mage for you, if he has any bad behavior, his head will immediately bloom." ”
The two groups entered separate rooms on the left and right sides of the hall. As soon as he crossed the threshold, Henry saw corpses strewn across the floor of the room. He crouched down and examined it carefully, and found that each corpse had only one very small wound, and all of them were vital parts such as the brainstem, heart, throat, and so on. Judging by the expressions of the deceased, they didn't even know who the sneak attacker was until they died, and some even had smiles on their faces.
It's completely different from Kogan's gore and violence, but it can also have a terrifying effect. Henry could almost conclude that Arcanis must have done it, and that he was the only one with such terrifying strength. It seems that the legendary thief must be very angry, and it is estimated that Maiva, who is hiding in the basement, will be unlucky.
Although the methods of the Shadow Thieves Guild are not as good as those of the Abyss Demons or the Dark Elves, it is still possible to make a person feel that life is worse than death. Kogan walked around the house a few times, and when he found no remaining enemies, he whined in a low voice, "Damn! Someone has taken the lead, we have to hurry down, or in a while there will be nothing alive for me to chop down. ”
Henry smiled and nodded. "That's right, let's go, don't let Maiva wait."
