Chapter 316: The Two Heroes of the Capital
Soon, Chino and the mastiff negotiated further about the details of the operation.
In this so-called "cooperation", there is no relationship of trust between the two parties, so there is a disagreement on the delivery method.
The mastiff was afraid that he would finish his errand, so Chino directly killed him.
You know, he is a member of the Desert Blood Thorn Society, and Chino not only did not violate the law by killing him, but even made a great achievement, and he had a complete motive to do so, and this guy himself is not a good stubble.
The mastiff has concerns, and Chino also has it, he is worried that if he gives his identity first, the mastiff will run away with his things, hide in a small town, and live a good life, then the winter clothes will not be recovered.
Both sides are suspicious of each other and have a sense of distrust, which prevents cooperation from taking place.
In the end, after negotiation, both sides took a step back - the mastiff did the work first, and after the matter was completed, the carrier pigeon sent the information to the government residence, and the mastiff stipulated in the letter the method and place of delivery of the identity certificate.
In this way, Chino does not have to worry about the mastiff running away, after all, without identification, he will be a bloody assassin in Dogulander.
Letting the mastiff decide how and where to deliver his identity certificate can give him the initiative and ensure his safety.
If it happens that Chino receives information but deliberately does not give identification, the mastiff has warned in advance, and he will take the moon coin on his body and the evidence in his hand to report to the royal family, and find out the truth about Erin Troy's death and the existence of winter clothes.
In this way, the two sides have their own constraints, and the cooperation has finally been carried out smoothly.
That night, the mastiff set off on errands, and Chino did not send anyone to follow him as agreed.
This kind of elusive desert assassin is not an easy target to follow, plus the mastiff is very confident in his own concealment technique, Chino also knows that unless he goes into battle in person, the group of soldiers under his command will be recognized by him in minutes.
Now, there is one more important thing waiting for Chino than staring at a mastiff, and that is reinforcements from the Governor's Mansion at Fengyun Pass...
...
In the middle of the night, at the east gate of the twilight city, a carrier pigeon flew over the city walls, flew towards the city's executive residence, and finally swooped down on the windowsill of the office.
The window opened, and the carrier pigeon crept in.
Two minutes later, the carriages drove out of the government residence, their hooves all wrapped in sponge cloth for silence, and no sound could be heard unless they were very close, like ghosts in the night.
There were sixteen carriages in total, twenty minutes apart, and they went out of the city from the four gates of the south, east, west, and north, and went in different directions, so as to ensure that they would not be followed.
One of the carriages from Xicheng District galloped into the valley outside the twilight city, which seemed to be empty and lonely, only the moonlight was clear, but in fact, a pair of sharp eyes could be seen from time to time between the shadows of the trees, and they were as hideous as beasts under the reflection of the moonlight.
Chino jumped down from the carriage, his eyes quickly caught two tall figures in the shadows, and said respectfully, "Lord Governor, Lord Archon, I am grateful for your presence. β
The figure walked out.
One is an old acquaintance, the provincial "consul" Resahar Delin Regnom.
The other figure was extremely tall, making people wonder if it was human, he was almost 2.5 meters tall, wearing a black robe made of night crow ink feathers, with no belt around his waist, replaced by iron cables made of snow bright black iron, fastening the majestic muscles, and the rough aura was extremely oppressive.
Edward Troy, the current head of the Trojan family, the "Governor" of Fengyun Pass in the Beacon Province, and the "Curser" of Sequence 6.
Edward shook hands with Chino, but quickly withdrew them, his words full of superiority: "I don't think I need to introduce myself, you know who I am." There was only one reason why I had come to Twilight from my busy scheduleβit was Prince Burton's request. I hope you've got the clue to the visitors and won't let me run in vain. β
Chino: "Please give me a little more time, just a few days." β
Edward: "So, until your so-called 'days' are over, Ray Sahar and I will have to hide like rats in the valley outside the city, like we are now?" β
Chino: "I'm afraid so, because the two of you are too recognizable in appearance, and if you show up rashly, you are likely to startle the snake." β
Seeing Edward's face, Resakhar made a round, patted Edward's arm, and said with a smile: "This is also good, just remember our military career." Think about the "Laurel War" back then, in order to avoid the guards of the Heavenly Suspension Division, you and I directly ambushed the main force of the Onmyoji, hid in the lake with a reed pole in our mouths, hid for three days and three nights, and finally caught a big fish and killed 6 four-clawed golden dragon Onmyoji. The conditions are much better now than they were back then. β
Edward didn't complain anything, and said straightforwardly: "Give me a plan, there must be a battle plan." β
Chino: "May I ask you how many people you brought this time?" β
Edward: "Prince Bolton named the elite, and I brought my own soldiers with me." 12 positions for "Demon Rider" in the 5th sequence, 54th position for "Abomination" in the 4th sequence, and 256 positions for "Doom" in the 3rd sequence. β
With this configuration of combat power, it can easily destroy a small country...
Chino nodded and said, "If you can, please hand over the command of these soldiers to me, they will not be recognized by visitors from outside the world, and they can follow me back to Twilight City first." β
"Then, please keep an eye on the sky above Twilight City these days, if there is a red thunderstorm, it means that visitors from outside the sky have appeared, please come to my aid immediately."
Edward took out the command talisman and handed it to Chino: "Twilight City is your territory, and the visitors from the sky are your old rivals, so I won't say much, just do as you say." β
"Thank you for your trust." Chino held the talisman and just wanted to take it, but he felt his wrist tighten, and it was the talisman that was pinched by Edward's big hand.
Edward's back to the moonlight, his shadow-shrouded eyes were as black as an abyss, as if there was some kind of treacherous color hidden in them: "You'd better be more careful, don't let visitors from outside the world make things like last year's banquet bombing, otherwise..."
He didn't finish his sentence, leaving Chino with room for imagination.
Chino's expression did not change, and his smile remained respectful: "Listen carefully, I will never allow that kind of appalling thing to happen again." β
Chino received the talisman and didn't stay long, leaving with the Trojan soldiers.
The valley is lonely, with the occasional night crow chirping.
Edward looked sideways at the dragon knight beside him, and said lukewarmly, "I heard that you are very close to this man. β
Resakhar smiled back: "I like to make friends, as I have always been, and I don't target anyone. β
Edward looked in the direction of Chino's departure, and his words were meaningful: "I don't like this little ghost, his mask-like smile reminds me of a person." β
Resakhar: "Your Highness the Prince. β
Edward's eyes grew deeper and deeper, making it difficult to see through, and the dark clouds swept over the moon, making the shadows on his face flutter like a living thing: "I advise you to keep your distance from Chino. Didn't you notice? He was like a seductive devil, first Solandale and then Burton, and there were already two candidates for the crown prince who had been bewitched by him. β
Resahar was silent, and the only sound around him was the sound of the wind blowing and falling leaves.
"Cunning little brute." Edward said.
