Looking at the smiling female assassin, Dean didn't give any answer, his palm clenched the [Wind Thorn], and stepped forward quickly.

The flames on the blade of the sword rose and burned, and it was swift and unparalleled.

"You've always been so distrustful of me - you don't even want to hear the content of the deal, are you ready to do it?"

The female assassin was still smiling, and she looked at the flaming sword that was so close to her, untouched by the threat.

"How many times have you killed me? Three or four times? I can't even remember! So, one more or two more I don't care -- but are you sure? There's news about the Emerald Grand Duke and the Black Rose, and you want to give it up like this? Isn't that the behavior of a loyal knight? ”

Pointed at by the flaming sword, even her coat was yellowed and twisted by the heat, and the smell of feet filled the air, but the female assassin still said unhurriedly.

[Nine Death Methods of Stand-ins] made her have no scruples most of the time.

Again, this is her biggest hole card.

At least, for those who don't know the core secret of the [Nine Deaths of the Stand-in], she has no scruples.

Dean looked at the other man, the black veil obscuring the other's face, but the other's eyes were so clearly visible - there was no panic.

All there is is calm, interest.

It seemed as if waiting for his choice.

Such a passive feeling is undoubtedly quite bad, which makes Dean's brow furrow.

Eventually, though. Dean withdrew his sword.

It's about the Emerald Grand Duke. Dean didn't have any more options-

"What deal?"

Dean asked.

"Sure enough, a loyal knight! You know? You look like the Jade Grand Duke at the moment......"

"Shut up. My patience is limited! Name your deal! ”

The female assassin's words were interrupted by Dean's low shout, and the sword he had just withdrawn raised again.

"Over-tempered, much like the Black Rose...... Well, well, you don't have the slightest sense of humor - start later, if you want to trade, and now you have an even bigger problem to solve: the turret of Emerald Castle! ”

The female assassin held out her white index finger and shook it in front of Dean.

"The turret of Emerald Castle?"

Dean was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed.

In the arming of the Emerald Grand Duke. In addition to the two subordinate fleets with magic cannons, there are also magic cannons in Emerald Castle, and they are more numerous and more powerful than those in the fleet!

And this is in order to be able to completely integrate Nangang into the defense system.

To put it simply, if the South Harbor is used as a fortification, then the Emerald Fort is the artillery array with the largest support, which can be lightly behind. Provide the greatest boost for the entire South Port.

Therefore, the entire South Harbor is naturally within the range of the magic cannon of the Emerald Castle!

If. Emerald Castle's magic cannon is shooting at Southport......

Undoubtedly, this is impossible in normal times!

But now-

Bombardment of South Harbor!

It doesn't seem like that, it's impossible!

It doesn't take much, just a few salvos are enough to destroy the entire South Harbor!

Even, as long as a single cannonball falls into Nangang County, then the reputation of Emerald Fort is finished, and even with the presence of the Emerald Grand Duke, the entire defense system of Emerald Fort and Nangang will collapse and disintegrate - in the face of the people's appeal, the Emerald Grand Duke will not be able to ignore it.

And some people with a heart will definitely not let go of this opportunity to add fuel to the fire, so ...... The demolition of the six magic cannons in Emerald Castle is inevitable.

If Dean had been suspicious of the female assassin's involvement in the operation, then at this time, such suspicions were greatly reduced.

After all, the defense system of Emerald Castle and Southport was destroyed, and the biggest beneficiaries were Gosai and Siti.

You must know that in the 'Blood Moon War' in Dean's memory, the reason why Emerald South was able to hold out for a month after the death of the Emerald Grand Duke was because of the existence of the magic cannon.

And once the magic cannon of the Emerald Castle was dismantled.

The Coming Blood Moon War......

Dean's face shifted.

"Huh! Looks like you've already guessed it Dean! Their target is the magic cannon of Emerald Castle - which turret is it? I don't know! ”

The female assassin looked at Dean in surprise, then shrugged her shoulders as if she couldn't help herself.

Dean didn't pay any attention to the other party's pretense, turned around and rushed out of the room - although Dean wanted to give the other party a sword, but the atmospheric puppet that appeared silently behind the other party made Dean know that this was not a good choice.

If you get entangled in the atmospheric golem, you will delay the opportunity and let those Pirate Alliance people occupy the magic cannon of Emerald Castle......

The worry in his heart made Dean leave faster and faster.

Looking at Dean's hurried departure, the female assassin burst out laughing again.

She raised her palm slightly, and suddenly, the gray air flow enveloped it, and then quickly rushed outward.

……

A roar from before.

It's the lurkers of the Pirate Alliance, the sound of smashing the drawbridge winch and gates of Emerald Castle.

Thus, from the very beginning, the guards of Emerald Castle were caught in the most brutal white-knuckle battle with the invading enemy.

However, this did not panic the Emerald Castle guards.

With sufficient training and occasional actual combat, they faced this sudden battle, and it was only after the initial panic that they became normal.

In particular, when they found that the incoming enemy was well-equipped, and their own strength was not very strong, their morale quickly recovered.

"Raise your shield!"

The old butler stood at the gate of the Emerald Castle, the front line of this battlefield, commanding the guards of the Emerald Castle, and arranging the course of action in an orderly manner.

I saw a strong jade guard raising the tower shield that was more than one person high. Confidential ones are lined up together. It's like a wall. Rush forward.

The pirates with different equipment in front of them were immediately squeezed into the river on both sides of the suspension bridge by such an impact, and immediately, the faces that were eaten by some carnivorous fish inside were all gone, and after a while, a large area of bright red floated on the already turbid water surface. Then there was a corpse with only white bones left.

"Hold on! Resist! ”

In the group of pirates, it was obvious that a few of the pirates who were the leaders were roaring loudly.

At the same time, the scimitars and long swords in their hands cut down several pirates who ran back from the drawbridge to the ground.

"Resist it all!"

Several pirate leaders, brandishing blood-stained weapons, roared loudly.

Under the effect of killing one hundred people, the pirates who had just retreated rushed towards the drawbridge again, layer upon layer, relying entirely on the advantage of numbers. Blocked the speed of the shield wall's advance.

"Raise the gun!"

The old butler waved his hand.

Suddenly, the jade guards who had been following closely behind the shield wall. The spear in his hand stabbed out along the semicircular gap left by the tower shield.

Poof, poof......

With the sound of metal spears and flesh piercing, the pirates who had just stopped the shield wall fell as if they were harvesting wheat.

And the shield wall, which slowed down slightly, increased its speed again.

However, at this moment, a firework rose from inside the Emerald Castle.

Syllable!

White fireworks burst straight into the night sky, forming a huge shape with arm bones crossed underneath and skulls on top.

Skull Flag!

People subconsciously looked up at this strangely shaped firework and couldn't help but think in their hearts.

And the skeleton fireworks in the pitch-black night sky quickly dissipated as they bloomed, but the skulls in the dissipation were fluttering and twisting.

It was as if the revenant soul let out a chilling laugh.

Looking at the fading signal, the old butler raised his hand, and the guards of the Emerald Castle on the wall near the castle gate immediately bent their bows and arrows, ready to deal with the pirates' next counterattack.

However, to the old butler's surprise, the pirates who were still rushing to kill actually retreated.

As if they had appeared suddenly, they retreated suddenly.

"This ......"

Inexplicable uneasiness began to appear in the old butler's heart.

And when the ring on his left index finger made an unknown vibration, the old butler's face immediately changed.

"Oops! Fort! ”

The old butler let out a low cry in his heart, and then, raising his hand, he led two teams of elite guards and rushed towards the direction of the fort.

……

Dean, who was heading towards the battery, glanced up at the skull flag-like fireworks, and couldn't help but squint.

And the shouts that gradually dissipated made Dean more and more uneasy.

Suddenly, the already fast speed became faster and faster.

Sou!

An arrow suddenly burst in, causing Dean, who had just accelerated forward, to stop.

"Dean. Willing. Your Excellency Zelgaon, this road is not going to work! ”

A slender man, dressed in a white robe, with a handsome face, holding a large bow comparable to the height of an adult man, walked slowly down the steps not far away.

As the other party's footsteps moved, the long dark blue hair exuded an extremely bereaved bright color under the night sky.

"Kolko?"

After glancing at the other party, and then seeing the handsome and feminine face and long dark blue hair, Dean asked directly.

"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Zelgaon!"

Colco bowed slightly, and put his right hand on his chest, his posture was elegant and perfect, coupled with his handsome face, he was really as attractive as a noble son.

If there are some ladies around, they will definitely give them a soft exclamation.

However, what Dean was able to give to the other party -

Boom!

The sword is unsheathed.
