A trip to the second dimension

Chapter 12: Prisoner Abduction (Fourth Update)

In the morning, the square in front of the Palazzo della Signoria was already crowded with people, and a large group of angry people gathered in front of the execution platform.

The news about the Auditore family's treason had been publicized long ago, and the civilians who came here now were all here to watch the execution.

The execution platform was very large, and Giovanni, Federico, and Petruccio had tough noose around their necks. As long as the soldiers next to them pulled the mechanism, the floor where Giovanni and the other two stood on the execution platform would separate, and the three people who had nowhere to stand would be strangled to death by the noose around their necks.

"Giovanni Auditore! You and your accomplices are accused of treason! Do you have any evidence to defend yourself?"

On the execution platform, the fat man Uberto Alberti asked Giovanni loudly.

"Yes! It's the documents I gave you last night!"

Giovanni looked at Uberto who was walking towards him step by step, and shouted angrily.

How could he not know that Uberto, whom he had always thought to be his best friend, had betrayed him, so his anger can be imagined.

Standing outside the crowd watching the execution, Ezio, who was now wearing a hood and wearing his father's assassin robe, clenched his fists in anger.

He did not expect that Uberto, who had always been an ally of the Auditore family and whom he called uncle, would actually betray them.

"Fortunately, I listened to Hope, and now it can still be saved."

Ezio forced himself to calm down quickly, and everything had to go according to plan.

"Sorry, let me go, sorry, let me go."

Thinking of this, Ezio lowered his head and instinctively began to lower his presence, pushed away the crowd blocking the way in front, and began to quickly approach the execution platform.

"Documents?" Uberto glanced at Giovanni's anger, opened his hands, shook his head at the crowd below, and said, "I'm afraid I know nothing about these documents."

As he spoke, Uberto had already walked to the side of the execution platform, and with his chest and head held high, he declared loudly: "Since there is no convincing evidence to defend, I must declare you guilty! You and your accomplices are hereby sentenced to death!"

"You are the traitor! Uberto! You are one of them! You can kill us today, but one day! We will kill you! I swear! We will!"

Hearing Uberto's declaration, Giovanni immediately struggled hard, but the ropes tied to his hands and feet made him unable to move, and he could only roar loudly at Uberto on the edge of the execution platform!

"No, I'm afraid you don't have that chance?"

Uberto smiled coldly and raised his hand to let the soldier next to him pull the mechanism.

But at this moment, there was a "bang" gunshot!

The soldier standing next to the lever had a big bloody hole on his head, and he fell to the execution platform without a word.

"What is this?!"

Giovanni was stunned when he saw the way the executioner died, and then he immediately knew who did it.

Turning his head and looking at the crowd below, he saw a familiar figure very close to the execution platform.

That was his son Ezio, so the other hope who killed the executioner must be hiding nearby.

There is still hope! He and his sons don't have to die here!

"Oh my God!"

Uberto was also shocked when he saw the executioner's sudden death. Then, after being reminded by another fat man wearing a hood behind him, he came to his senses and quickly shouted: "Soldier! Soldier! Someone is trying to rob the prisoner!"

As he spoke, Uberto quickly retreated to the bottom of the execution platform.

It was too dangerous to stand on the execution platform now. He still didn't know how the executioner died suddenly.

Uberto had already run away, but the fat man in the hood took a few steps forward, ready to replace the previous executioner, push the lever down, and continue the execution.

But he took a step forward, and his heart suddenly jumped, and he keenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly jumped to the side.

At the same time, a bullet brushed his cheek, and then a "bang" gunshot was heard in his ears.

Feeling the severe pain from the wound on his cheek, the fat man in the hood also knew that if he had not just dodged, he would probably be shot to death like the soldier.

It seems that there is no way to deal with Giovanni and others on the execution platform.

The fat man in the hood was also very decisive. Like Uberto, he ran to the execution platform while loudly ordering the soldiers around him: "Kill them! Whether it is the traitor on the execution platform or the guy who came to rob the prisoner!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The soldiers around heard the order, drew their weapons one after another, and began to alert the people around them.

Several of the soldiers also rushed to the execution platform under the order, ready to deal with Giovanni and the others first.

But at this time, Ezio had already squeezed to the front of the crowd. Before the soldiers had completely drawn their weapons, he had already drawn the long sword at his waist, slammed away a soldier who was blocking the way in front of him, and leaned on the edge of the execution platform to push himself up!

"Ezio!"

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

The three people on the execution platform saw Ezio rushing up to the stage, and they were immediately excited and couldn't help shouting.

"I'm here to save you!"

Ezio also shouted, rushed forward and cut the rope around Giovanni's head and neck, then pulled out his dagger and quickly cut the restraints on his hands and feet.

"This is for you."

After untying the restraints on his body and reaching out to take the other long sword handed over by Ezio, Giovanni nodded to Ezio, holding the long sword and went to meet the soldiers rushing up from the other side of the stage.

"Where is my sword?"

Twisting his numb hands, Federico asked about his weapon before he could say hello to Ezio.

"This is for you. I can't carry so many weapons at once. You can use it for self-defense for the time being."

Ezio handed Federico the dagger that had just cut Federico's rope to him, and then pointed to Petrogio who was still tied up.

Federico nodded, walked over quickly to untie the fat man's restraints, and pulled him to run towards Ezio.

"Follow me! This way!"

Ezio kicked a soldier who wanted to climb up off the platform, yelled, turned around and jumped off the execution platform, and rushed to the alley on the side.

Behind him, Giovanni and the other two also ran all the way to catch up.

"Bang!"

Another gunshot!

A strong soldier in heavy armor and holding a big axe was knocked down by a gunshot, and fell to the ground with his wound covered, screaming and struggling. This temporarily slowed down the pursuit of other soldiers behind him.

The main reason was that the gunshots that could kill people remotely were too scary, and the soldiers who were chasing were a little hesitant, fearing that they would be the next one to die inexplicably.

However, under the continuous loud orders and warnings from Uberto, who was protected by people behind him, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue to chase the fugitives of the Auditore family.
