Chapter 165: The Thief's Heart Doesn't Die

The hiring of the bodyguard group was quickly completed, and the fixed population of Ascatla City was only 110,000, but the floating population was about double this number, and most of these floating population were teams of adventurers hired by caravans, so you can imagine how many adventurers were stranded in the city.

It was not difficult to select thirty-six powerful fighters from tens of thousands of adventurers.

After the bodyguards were in place, the team began to split up, Cameron and Yao En went to the Daqiao District R&D Center to continue the development of the camera, and Clythia and Monroe went to the mansion of the nobles in the administrative district to participate in the salon ball and win over the nobles to promote the new drama.

Luo Feng and Zhang Daniu are in charge of the troupe's residence.

Once the problem of the kidnapping of the shadow thieves who tied their hands and feet was alleviated, the team's efficiency was greatly improved, and it was back on track.

The Shadow Thieves didn't give up, they still tried to sneak attack, but this time they hit the iron plate.

The biggest weakness of the Shadow Thieves Guild is that the membership of the profession is very single, except for a very small number of mages and priests of Max, the god of thieves, all of them are thieves.

Thieves are good at acting in the shadows, but they are not good at frontal combat, and a squad of thieves has no chance of winning against a team of adventurers with all kinds of classes and rich combat experience.

Often, before the shadow thieves have time to do it, the priests in the bodyguard group use the "True Vision" magic (Amm forbids the demon, but can't help it) to expose the thieves hiding in the shadows, and then the rangers and warriors rush them to pieces with a single charge.

After several failed kidnapping operations and the loss of more than thirty good players, the kidnapping operation of the Shadow Thieves Guild finally came to an end temporarily, and such losses, coupled with the casualties of the guild war with the vampires of the "Veil of Night" every night, even a behemoth like the Shadow Thieves Guild could not bear it.

"Damn it!"

In the Shadow Thieves' Guild Chamber, Reynolds Bloodhead slammed his glass against the wall and cursed angrily.

"Braderot is not simple, he is not just an artist."

A middle-aged man dressed as a nobleman sitting next to him frowned.

"How can a man who kills a shadow thief leader like a chicken in front of me be an artist?"

Reynolds Bloodhead quickly adjusted his mindset and suppressed his anger, and he knew one thing very well: never hate your enemies, because it will affect your judgment.

The aristocratic middle-aged man sneered: "If killing people is also art, he can call himself an artist." We found the body of the missing shadow thief in the sewers, and although it was gnawed by the kobolds, we could tell the cause of death, and it's hard to imagine that a single man could inflict so many fatal injuries with just one hand. ”

"We have lost more than sixty people to kidnap the members of the Bredero Troupe."

Reynolds said coldly with a gloomy face: "The number of brothers who died in the guild war is more than the number of brothers who died in the guild war, and it is already possible to list the Bledro troupe as the sworn enemies of the shadow thieves and start an all-out war with them." ”

"No."

The aristocratic middle-aged man shook his head and said: "First, the team of adventurers hired by the troupe is extraordinary, and Bredrow himself is also a master of killing, and the loss of starting a full-scale war guild will never be small." Second, the Braderow Theatre Company has a high reputation among the people and the nobility, and the open conflict between the Shadow Thieves Guild and the Troupe will arouse opposition from all levels of Am, and we will become the target of public criticism, and now the war with the 'Night Mask' has left the Guild in a quagmire, and it is very unwise to make a strong enemy. ”

The guild war between the Shadow Thieves Guild and the vampires of the Night Mask is at a disadvantage.

There are two reasons for this, one is that vampires are generally stronger in combat than shadow thieves, and vampires can erase the level of the recruiter and directly annihilate them in the long river of time, and even the resurrection technique cannot resurrect them. The second is that vampires are undead creatures, and even if they are killed, they will only turn into a thick fog, and they can reshape their bodies again by floating back into a pool of blood.

There are a lot of shadow thieves, but if they die like this, they will only be sacrificed in vain, and not a single vampire can kill them. It can only be completely eliminated unless it is completely eradicated, entering the vampire's lair and nailing it into the heart of the vampire body in the coffin with a stake.

"Damn hypocrites, it's so tied!"

Reynolds Bloodhead doesn't think that the Bledro Troupe is as difficult to deal with as the Vampire Guild, although the team of adventurers hired by the troupe is extraordinary, but they also die one less when it starts an all-out war, and the number of shadow thieves is endless, even if they can afford it.

The aura of socialitude on Benebrero is too dazzling, and in the city of Ascatla, everyone loves Bredero.

A notorious criminal organization engages in an all-out war with a notorious theater troupe, and it is easy to guess which side the citizens of Ascatra will side for.

Even if the Shadow Thieves Guild were to win and kill all the members of the troupe, it would have offended many nobles in their pursuit of entertainment and enjoyment, and would suffer a heavy political blow.

It is likely that the seat in the Council of the Six of Amm will be stripped away, and Alan Linville will become a stinking shit in the aristocratic circles.

The purpose of the subjugation troupe is to increase the influence of Alan Linville, who is already a figure in the aristocratic circle who "can get all kinds of things", "solves problems for the nobles", and "has a lot of ways and a wide range of ways".

Accepting the troupe and providing tickets for the nobles is only one thing, forcing the famous actors of the troupe to accompany the lonely and lonely nobles, winning over relationships, installing eyeliner, and blowing the pillow wind is the key.

That's why the shadow thieves frequently stumble on the troupe, and Reynolds-Bloodhead even came to the door to put pressure on him.

In an all-out war with the troupe, the original goal will definitely not be achieved, and the loss of manpower will be counterproductive, and the influence of Alan Linville will be greatly reduced, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

The Shadow Thieves are a group of realists who put profit first, and will not do unprofitable things for the sake of morale and reputation.

"Don't complain, we're all hypocrites."

The aristocratic actor Alan Linville smiled: "Only hypocrites can live better, can you imagine?" A cast actor in a fancy costume for a contrived performance grabbed more money than a thousand shadow thieves who killed people with daggers and set fires? ”

"The kidnapping plan can only be terminated, what happens next?"

"It seems that Mr. Bredrow is unwilling to accept our friendship - we cannot impose it on someone who thinks we are inadequate," asked Reynolds-Bloodhead. ”

"There will be a way."

Alan Linville smirked, "All he has is vanity and a fortress built on the beach, and I will make him understand that those who cannot control power will be destroyed by power, which is why the Shadow Thieves Guild has always sought influence in Am's political circle - only power can truly crush everything!" ”
