The Rise of the European Emperor

Chapter 1717 Force Majeure

"You..." Margaret of Tudor's eyes were full of panic and despair. Then she wanted to call for help.

However, before she could yell out, Memphis suddenly dodged forward like a ghost, and cut Margaret's throat with a dagger.

Memphis was taught by Marin himself. Marin once emphasized a sentence-the villain died of talking too much. Therefore, Memphis does things very simply. The reason why I said that before is actually just to confirm. If it wasn't for Margaret herself, she might subconsciously deny it. And if it is the rightful owner, they will not deny it subconsciously, but will have other reactions.

Moreover, seeing that the other party seemed to want to shout, Memphis could only attack directly. Before attacking, he was 70% sure that what he encountered was Margaret herself.

After cutting Margaret's throat, Memphis pulled Margaret's hair, and then the faint moonlight carefully identified the face...

He had observed Margaret herself in the barracks through a telescope on a tall building, so he naturally knew what Margaret looked like. Seeing that the target was confirmed, he worriedly made another cut, completely cutting off Margaret's neck.

Just as they were about to retreat, the screams of the little boy came from the villa inside. Apparently, that so-called "Prince Henry" was killed by English assassins.

However, at this moment, the group of English assassins panicked——

"Where is that woman?" The panicked voices of the English assassins came from the villa separated by a wall. Obviously, they didn't find Margaret.

Memphis quickly sent someone to climb up the wall from the ladder that Margaret put down, and said in a low voice:

"Margaret came out and was killed by us!"

When Xiao Er heard it, he was relieved, and then said quickly:

"Brother, throw the ladder over here, we're going out from here!"

The battle that took place earlier has already alarmed the surrounding area. It is estimated that there will be city guards from other barracks on duty at the gate, and it is far away from the gate of the barracks. So, they'd better retreat from the backyard wall.

After Memphis agreed, the spy on the wall lifted the ladder and threw it in. And he himself jumped off the wall, preparing to retreat with Memphis.

After Memphis left a person as a guide for Xiao Er and the others, he led the retreat first. However, it is not the direction of the iron gate of the sewer, but the direction of the city...

After the English assassins basically climbed out of the wall,

The man who was left as a guide barked as he led the English Assassins to the iron gate of the sewer.

Then, after a few special cat and dog barks, 500 meters away, a person ignited a firecracker in the shadows...

"Bang——" a loud bang went up to the sky, and it also attracted the attention of a city guard who had just entered the gate of the barracks and came to support after hearing the cry of killing.

However, the location of the firecrackers is opposite to the iron gate of the sewer. The captain of the city guard looked at the sky, separated a team and said:

"You guys, look in the direction of the explosion! I guess there are enemies over there!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Cage and 20 of his men, who were lurking near the French royal palace, received the signal and started blowing the matchlocks tied to their arms one after another, igniting the black powder grenades and smoke bombs in their hands...

"Boom—boom—boom—boom—" a series of explosions sounded.

The city guards in the entire city of Paris were awakened, except for the unfortunate poisoned barracks.

"No, someone is attacking the palace! Come and escort the palace!"

At the headquarters of the City Guard, Earl Cesc anxiously shouted orders. The sound of the explosion came from the direction of the palace, where the king and queen lived. In addition, there is Queen Anne, whom Cesc is loyal to. They are all incomparably precious masters, they can't afford to be hurt...

When all the city guards in Paris were heading towards the palace, Cage, who dropped grenades and smoke bombs, and his 20 men, led by the spies of the North Sea State in Paris, separated Jilu quietly withdrew. They will be taken to several extremely hidden secret passages and chambers respectively. It's hard to be found.

...

"What? Queen Margaret and Prince Henry were assassinated? All the soldiers in the barracks protecting him were poisoned, and more than half of them died?" In the city guard headquarters, Earl Cesc heard the one who rushed to the scene of the assassination After the report of the soldiers sent by the city guard, they were taken aback.

This is a big deal. In a military camp with thousands of people, most of them were poisoned to death, and the rest are said to be half dead. It is definitely a big deal. Coupled with Margaret of Tudor, who is valued by France, and her fake son, this matter is simply piercing the sky! You know, this is Paris! The capital of France! It's unbelievable that something like this happened. Afterwards, he, the commander of the City Guards, cannot escape the blame...

But after thinking for a while, Earl Cesc's face changed drastically:

"No, we have fallen into the enemy's trick!"

Europeans don't know the idiom "tune the tiger away from the mountain", but they understand the meaning.

"Hurry up, send someone to the Northwest City Guard barracks to search for the assassin!" Only by catching the assassin can he reduce his guilt. Otherwise, the position of the commander-in-chief of the Paris City Guards will not be able to be kept.

When the army of the city guards surrounded the barracks of the city guards in the northwest city, the soldiers of the city guards soon discovered the iron gate of the sewer that was damaged by the "mysterious force"...

"It seems that the enemy has run away. Send an order to send all scouts on horseback to search around from the exit of this sewer. If you find any suspicious person, you will be arrested immediately. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

At this point, Earl Cesc also knew that he had been tricked, but he had no choice but to send light cavalry out of the city to pursue him, hoping to catch a few enemies so that he could go to the palace...

...

At this time, after leaving the iron gate of the sewer, 99 British assassins supported a wounded man (wounded by a city guard soldier who had not yet been poisoned), came to the Seine River, and boarded the spy gate of the North Sea State. The speedboat quickly left the direction of the city of Paris and headed towards the lower reaches of the Seine River.

However, these ships were originally prepared for Cage's 20 special forces. So, there is something wrong with the quantity. The boat prepared before was not enough to carry 100 people. Afterwards, the Beihai State spies added a few more ships in a hurry. However, some are not fast speed boats...

After dawn, all the people on the speedboat evacuated to a safe place and landed, and hid in the secret stronghold that Beihai had prepared long ago.

However, among the ships added later, two small boats were overtaken by the following French ships because their speed was too slow...

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the 20 English assassins on board had no choice but to commit suicide.

"For the king!" 20 assassins committed suicide on the spot with different expressions. They are also helpless, because their son and other family members are under the control of King Edward. If sacrificed, their sons will also be knighted. But if captured or even betrayed...the family will not survive...

Anyway, the assassination has been successful, even if they die, their sons can be knighted. So, they all committed suicide resolutely...

...

As for Earl Cesc, he also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing 20 corpses. He was afraid that no one would be caught, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to do business. And these 20 corpses, although they are not worth much, can be regarded as a transaction. Moreover, their shouts before committing suicide were obviously in English. You don't need to ask to know that it was sent by Edward. Now, as long as the responsibility is shifted to the British, he will not have to bear the main responsibility. After all, there was nothing wrong with his arrangement. However, who would have thought that a city guard soldier in a barracks could be poisoned? If he understands the vocabulary of later generations, he will tell the French ruling and opposition parties that this is force majeure...
