Chapter 411: The Beginning of the Assassination
Jimmy, leading the members of Omega Squad, quickly circled in the direction where the gunshots were coming from.
The location of the gunfire was one of the more prosperous streets of Port Rousseau, and at the moment the people on the street were in chaos.
Originally, there was a night market here, which was a good place for men and women who couldn't sleep at night to press the road and make up for supper. But by now, most of the people on the street had fled, many of the small roadside stalls had been overturned, and food soup was scattered everywhere.
Although Port Rousseau is a large city with a complex population composition and a large number of foreign peoples. But law and order is getting better every year.
Especially after Klose's army took over the area, strict gun control orders were introduced. He knew that the flow of muskets into the black market was inevitable, but at least not in his territory.
Possession of firearms and even standard swords by unidentified persons must be registered before they can be used and worn. Moreover, at this time, there were gunshots in Rousseauport, judging by the experience of Jimmy and Klose, this gun was by no means the model used in the Black Crow army today.
The sound of this gunfire was clearly the sound of the flintlock pistol, which had been obsolete two years ago, and the person who still used the flintlock pistol was definitely not the Black Crow.
In fact, the first wave to arrive at the scene after the gunfire was the security patrol in Port Rousseau.
They had already evacuated the crowd and chased after the shooter.
When Jimmy arrived at the scene of the incident, the vigilante patrol was already waiting. They knew that such a sudden gunshot must have alarmed Lord Hain in the castle. But at their level, they didn't know there was an Omega Squad.
So when these little mice appeared, the members of the security patrol team were nervous for a while, and they didn't settle down until the other party showed their identification.
"Tell me what just happened?"
Jimmy cuts straight to the point, without a word of nonsense.
"Report sir! When we heard the gunshots, we rushed here to evacuate the crowd and check the target, but we found a suspicious man fleeing in the direction of the south pier, so we sent a patrol to arrest him! I don't know if I've caught it now. ”
Jimmy glanced in the direction of the South Docks, which was already pitch black.
The port to the south is closed at night, and the wharves of Port Rousseau, although open twenty-four hours a day, are only open to the east and west.
As for the southern side, it was reserved for Klose's fleet and was not open to the public.
What exactly did the man want to do when he went to the South Docks?
Filled with doubts, Jimmy decides to let Team Omega take over.
With a wave of his hand, the small figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing the mysterious and fast-moving Omega team disappear before his eyes, the captain of the security patrol team was still shocked and did not recover.
He'd only heard from a friend before that there was a mysterious team inside the Black Raven's core. They are usually only under the direct management of the Black Raven King, and they will appear wherever there is danger and where the conditions are difficult. Wherever the enemy has the hardest bones on the battlefield, they will appear. And now that they are in Port Rousseau, it means that the gunfire just now must not be so simple!
The patrol captain was keenly aware that something big might be happening, and the next few days in Port Rousseau were probably not peaceful.
He cheered up and yelled at his subordinates, "Little ones! Keep your eyes open for me to see if there are any clues left around me! It seems that Port Rousseau is about to change the sky lately...."
Klose stood on the castle terrace, looked at the place of the incident, and saw that the lights were converging towards the south.
But the southern pier won't be open at night at all, and running there is basically a dead end. It can also be said that the southern pier of Port Rousseau was a military pier, which was specially used for the fleet of black crows.
Could it be just a random shooting? I don't know if any innocent people were hurt.
Klose was thinking about it there, when suddenly there was a wake-up call in his heart!
At the moment, he did not have any guards by his side, Meloyd and Omega Team were all gone, and even the knightly guards of Duke Hain were sent out to assist in the search.
At the moment, there were only a few knights on the dance floor to maintain order, and everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
It can be said that if you want to be bad for Klose, this is the best opportunity!
But our little lord has gone all the way in the past few years, and his own strength has basically surpassed his bodyguards.
If it weren't for Diana, who revealed her true identity, Klose would have been able to achieve the final victory in actual combat.
But at this moment, he has a sixth sense that his life is threatened!
However, such a sixth sense still forced Klose's body to quickly lie on the ground.
His vigilance and subconscious movements invisibly saved his life.
Just as Klose was falling on the terrace, a muffled sound was keenly captured by him.
In the middle of the cluttered dance floor, that muffled sound was very familiar to Klose! That's with elimination. Sound of the rifle sound!
It was a sound he was all too familiar with, and it was the only sound that the standard rifles of his Dark Demon Army were equipped with!
In addition to his army, this weapon is now on the list of prohibited sales, so it cannot be an outsider.
The bullet almost grazed Klose's scalp and hit the stone railing of the terrace, splashing a handful of stone chips.
And Klose also summoned a black gas shield to stand in front of him at the first time. He touched his other hand in his arms, and a pistol was already in his hand.
But when he turned his head and searched through the chaotic crowd on the dance floor, he couldn't determine who had set off the cold gun.
Thinking of the gunshots that had just sounded outside, Klose vaguely felt that this seemed to be an assassination operation against him!
The gunshots on the periphery were just to lure all the guards around him away, and this person was able to blend into Duke Haine's dance floor, and his status must not be low! Plus the firearms he has .... Klose can be eighty or ninety percent sure that this person must have a high status among the black crows!
However, the members of the Omega team who had infiltrated the southern port with their targets had gradually surpassed the patrol members who were still searching.
However, just as they were about to start a carpet search at the southern pier, a motor roar suddenly sounded on the sea.
That's a clipper! Someone was able to hide a clipper at the southern pier at night! After firing the gun, he immediately ran to the completely enclosed southern pier and escaped by boat!
If it wasn't a premeditated and planned shooting, he wouldn't have believed it if he killed Jimmy!
However, when the captain of the security department was just asked, the other party said that there were no injuries in the shooting, except for a few pedestrians who were pressing the road and fell and trampled while escaping, there were no traces left by the shooting.
Don't....
Suddenly, as if Jimmy realized something, his eyes widened and he secretly said "Oh no"!
He suddenly stopped, signaled all the team members to stop the pursuit, and everyone immediately returned to the castle to protect the king!
Yes, he realized, realized that he had fallen for someone's plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain because he was in a hurry!
At this moment, Klose is afraid that there is not a single guard around him?
Although the strength of the king himself is also very strong, he can't have any luck thoughts!
After all, that lord is the soul of a black crow! It's the heart of the Black Crow! It is the faith in the hearts of all the Black Raven Lords!
If he makes a mistake.... Let's not talk about whether the princesses will eat him alive, even if he can't get over this hurdle in his own heart!
As the captain of the Omega Squad with the strongest combat power and the most advanced equipment under the rule of Black Crow, he was able to take such an obvious and simple plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!?
Disgrace! It's a shame! It is the shame of his life as a special soldier that is difficult to wash!
Perhaps it is also because everything has been too smooth in recent years, which has made him more or less habitual thinking in his heart. There is more or less arrogance and underestimation of the enemy.
Jimmy's heart is burning at the moment! While ordering the team to rush to the castle at full speed, he mentally sorted out who would be behind the shooting?
Port Rousseau's unique geographical conditions have caused the entire island to be surrounded by the sea on three sides. And it is born with the top-notch bay terrain!
Therefore, for a long time, it has been playing the role of an important transit point on several continents.
And Duke Hain, with his superb earning ability and political skills, bought Rousseau from his previous master. and gave himself the title of duke, which is more than thirty years!
I have to say that this can also see that Duke Hain does have his own good and excellent side.
He is not only good at drilling camps and looking for allies. And judge the situation and take a long-term view.
Just like when he first formed an alliance with Duke Huige, he took a fancy to this person's ability, which could bring him shelter, and also provided a lot of financial assistance to Duke Gray Pigeon behind his back, which made Gray Pigeon's strength expand rapidly in a short period of time.
But once the gray pigeon lost ground, he set his sights on a bigger backer, and that was the black crow.
The reason is very simple, because the navy of the Black Crow crushed all the fleets on the continent, and even the pirate leaders who dominated the seven seas were defeated by him! If he doesn't hold this kind of character, can't he wait for others to hug it?
However, the Duke of Hain was also well aware that he was now bound to Klose's kingdom.
Klose is excited, then he is excited. Klose Wang, he can't get any favors.
Therefore, in this shooting, Duke Hayne became the first person to be excluded.
