War Paradise

When the assassin's "Night Shadow" arrived, the temperature of the air in the main hall of the Flame Wind Palace suddenly dropped a bit.

Looking at the white mist lingering in the Great Hall, Lin Chi joked casually: "Can you stop playing dry ice?"

"Lord Lord, this is a necessary method for assassins." Ye Ying laughed awkwardly: "I'm just used to it."

Like last time, the assassin was still dressed in black, with the same black turban on his head, and the red fangs on his face mask seemed to be showing a mocking expression.

"Little... Lord Lord, what can I do for you?" Ye Ying curled her eyes, her voice was treacherous.

Looking at the assassination commander who was half-kneeling in the middle of the Great Hall, Lin Chi asked, "What is hidden in the secret door behind the Assassin's Temple? The person I sent last time hasn't come back yet."

"Ah, you found the door." Yeying's pupils suddenly shifted to the right, as if hesitated a little: "Although I can't bear to say, the spies you sent... probably won't be able to return. ."

"I'm still very confident in her ability." Lin Chi showed no worries at all, but continued to ask, "What the hell is there?"

"I haven't been in either, but according to the information we got, that door may lead to the world after death." Ye Ying said softly.

"So, are you planning to fool me to die in the middle of the night?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

Hearing this, Shen Wenchong immediately drew his sword, and several other guards on the scene quickly stepped forward. Ye Ying remained half-kneeling without any movement, but shook her head vigorously:

"I don't mean to let you enter the secret door, but to worship the statue of the assassin god. Your understanding is wrong..."

Seeing this guy's "loyal and courageous" appearance, Lin Chi waved his hand and ordered the guards not to do anything. He leaned his chin on the throne with his right fist and asked about today's main topic:

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Actually, calling you here this time is more important."

"Listen to your instructions." Ye Ying lowered her head.

"Since you are also an assassin, I want to know, do you know anything about the so-called'Brotherhood'?" Lin Chi asked.

Although it is still uncertain, he can still feel that this attempt to assassinate the own assassin may have come from the legendary "Brotherhood."

Unlike the "fraternity" that I established in the Institution City, this time it is likely that real professionals will come here. Although they don't know why they sent some laymen to take the initiative to die, what Lin Chi can be sure of is that the matter will never end so easily.

After Lin Chi asked, Ye Ying was silent for a few seconds before slowly giving the answer:

"You mean the legendary assassin organization? Of course I know about it, but I'm limited to hearing it."

"Among your assassins, has anyone ever joined the Brotherhood?" Lin Chi continued to ask questions.

"Assassinating everyone in the army, I know everything. There are no members of the Brotherhood in my army."

Ye Ying gave Lin Chi a disappointment again, but his next sentence stunned Lin Chi and the guards present:

"But as far as I know, the guard's Ren You should come from the ‘Brotherhood’."

As soon as he said this, Lin Chi hadn't spoken yet, and one of the guards standing beside Ye Ying had already made a confused voice:

"You said he was... a member of the Assassins?"——As members of the guards, they are naturally familiar with their own "boss". The man who usually looks a bit like a pseudonymous and often jokes with them has nothing to do with the assassin.

"It's nonsense, Ren You can't be a member of the Brotherhood." Shen Wenchong's expression was gloomy: "I never heard him say..."

"Who would take the initiative to say that he was an assassin before?" Ye Ying laughed mockingly: "The old lord also knew about this before. There is a reason why the man was assigned to the guard."

"A skilled assassin knows how to protect a person." Lin Chi whispered.

"Yes, that's the truth." Ye Ying nodded immediately: "The professional assassin knows where to ambush and what kind of assassination to guard against. The old lord chose Ren You for this reason."

"Ren You was trained by General Qin." Shen Wenchong was still arguing, but his voice was much weaker than before.

"Let him come over immediately." Lin Chi decisively gave the order.

Even if you still don't know whether the information provided by Ye Ying is true, you still need to ask if Ren You really was a member of the Brotherhood, then the assassin may have been his "colleague" this time.

"Yes."

When the messenger was about to leave, there was a sudden noise outside the palace. A messenger covered in blood rushed into the main hall. Judging from the flexibility of his body, the blood was not his own.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chi asked immediately.

"Report, there are monsters raging in the city, and the guards can't stand it anymore!" The messenger gasped for breath.

"What monster?" Lin Chi clenched his fists.

"Yes...a scorpion!" The messenger said breathlessly: "General Qin has led the army to the scene, but ordinary troops alone can't stop it!"

"Scorpion?" Lin Chi raised his eyebrows.

"Lord, this should be the conspiracy of the Deserted Sand City." This time I changed to Ye Ying to speak: "As far as I know, the deity believed by the Assassins of the Deserted Sand City is a giant scorpion in the desert. They call it the'Desert' King'."

"You mean'Sand King'?" Lin Chi suddenly reacted.

"Yes, this is the evil deity they worship. It is said that this monster has many heirs. They are all hidden in the desert. Once they are called by a devout believer, they will emerge from the ground."

"There is no desert here." Lin Chi said.

"Maybe it was summoned by some other means." Ye Ying said and stood up: "Lord, please stay here and don't move. I will dispatch with the assassination troops to find the assassin who summoned the'Sand King'. "

"Well, leave it to you."

Before Lin Chi's words fell, white smoke floated again in the Great Hall, and the night shadow quickly retreated, disappearing into the smoke.

"I said don't play dry ice anymore..."

Lin Chi complained, and then said to Shen Wenchong next to him: "Let's go, I'm going to have a look at the scene."

Knowing that he could not persuade the young master, Shen Wenchong could only nod his head, and together with the other guards in the main hall, escorted the young master away from the Flame Wind Palace.

——It is undoubtedly extremely dangerous to leave the heavily guarded palace now. Lin Chi himself knew this very well.

However, if he hides in the palace, the assassin will only continue to make trouble. In his opinion, the longer this kind of thing is delayed, the more dangerous it is, and it is better to solve it as soon as possible.

As for the way to solve it as soon as possible, it is naturally the fastest to get out of the hole in person.

At this time, Lin Chi had already put on a dark brown robe, and the members of the guards had also put on unremarkable plain cloths. In addition to Shen Wenchong's personal protection, several other guards were scattered not far away.

"Young Master, hold my hand tightly." Shen Wenchong whispered.

In the eyes of unsuspecting passers-by, the two look like their father leading the child wandering on the street. If the assassins did not receive the information immediately, they should not be able to identify their true identities.

Due to the assassination, there were fewer passers-by on the street than before. Except for a few men who hurriedly rushed to the east side of Flamewind City, no other people could be seen.

"Um, may I ask..."

Shen Wenchong stopped a middle-aged man who was running away, staring at the other's shiny bald head, and asked, "Why are you running away?"

"Brother, are you stupid?" The middle-aged man bypassed him and continued to run in the opposite direction: "There are monsters on the street over there. If you don't want to die, just run!"

Listening to the noisy voices in the distance, Lin Chi and the members of the guard moved quickly to meet a few wounded Flame Wind Army soldiers who were retreating.

Like the messenger just now, these soldiers are also dripping with blood. The soldier walking in the front has a big hole directly cut out of his shoulder, and his right arm, which has lost control, is like noodles, swaying with his body.

Seeing Lin Chi and others, the wounded were still fulfilling their duties and reminded: "Don't go forward anymore, we are fighting the monster!"

"I want to see it." Lin Chi said seriously.

"Child, you are still young, you shouldn't look at these things..." The soldier with a wounded shoulder walked slowly to a house and sat down: "This father is too, hurry up and leave...Shen Wenchong?"

"Abin?" Shen Wenchong also recognized the man with blood on his face at this time: "Aren't you retired?"

"After I retired, I found that I could do nothing but kill, so I returned to the Flame Wind Army." The man called A Bin sighed and focused his eyes on Lin Chi's face:

"Since Shen Wenchong you will be here, then this is..."

"Yes, it's me." Lin Chi nodded.

"I don't know... why are you here, but please don't come close, we are not opponents of that monster."

A Bin's voice became weaker and weaker: "We have tried our best, but the monster is really too powerful..."

"I know, you have worked very hard, you can rest."

Lin Chi was talking about turning on the lord mode, called a messenger, and issued a new order:

"Notify all soldiers in front to evacuate immediately."

Upon hearing this, the guards and wounded soldiers present fell into silence again:

"Lord, what do you mean by...?" Abin said tremblingly: "If you don't block the monster, it will destroy the entire city!"

"I have a subordinate who can destroy the monster, but he is more ‘special’ in the battle, and cannot be approached by humans. After the battle, he must be disinfected."

While speaking, Lin Chi had already contacted a certain lich who had ran away through his mind, and began to communicate quickly with the other party:

"Where are you?""Master, I am doing my...research outside the city."

"Come to the city immediately and deal with the monsters in the city."

"I thought you didn't like my plague." Kel'Thuzad immediately came in interest: "The Scourge is ready, ready to serve you!"

"If you spread the plague in the city, I will throw your phylogeny into the dung pit." Lin Chi threatened: "You should have more'clean' soldiers under your command? Send out those troops that will not spread the plague to destroy the city. Monster!"

"Uh, this is indeed there." Kel'Thuzad's tone was obviously a little lost: "I have seen the situation in the city, and I will send them over immediately..."

...

"Hold the line, don't let that monster break through!"

On the street battlefield on the west side of the city, "Flame Wind Slayer" Yin Shuang roared hoarsely.

The brawny men in the trapped group raised their heavy shields to the front to block the spikes flying from the front. What appeared in front of them was a dust storm covering half a block.

In the dust of the sky, you can vaguely see the outline of the giant scorpion’s tail. Its curved stingers can continuously shoot spikes. Many soldiers trapped in the formation have been injured under the overwhelming "arrow rain". Lost the ability to fight.

In addition, what is more deadly is another "spike" released by the scorpion...

"is coming!"

Noting the scorpion's leaning motion, a soldier yelled, and the soldiers of the trapped regiment holding their shields immediately retreated. At this time, the giant scorpion shadow in the sandstorm suddenly disappeared.

The spikes that pierced through the ground were like sharp wooden stakes, piercing the bodies of the three soldiers in an instant, lifting their convulsed bodies!

Witnessing the cruel scene of his soldiers being punctured, Yin Shuang's eyes began to congestion, and his teeth were bitten to death.

If her right leg hadn't just been pierced, she would definitely be the first to rush up. But now, the bravest warrior in the trapped group can only sit in the wooden wheelchair behind, watching the subordinates die one by one.

"I want to... kill you..."

Yin Frost clenched the armrest of the wooden chair tightly, and his whole body was about to explode. But the black armored warrior standing beside him was still very calm:

"Abandon this area and move the front back." General Qin said coldly, "How long will it take for the catapult and ballista to arrive?"

"It will take a while, we are preparing." A short man wearing a wooden armor hurriedly replied.

This person belongs to the siege weapon unit of the Flame Wind Army, and is considered an elite in the army. But because they had no idea that one day they would use siege weapons against the city, all the trebuchets were aimed at the outside of the city with their fixed bases. As for the heavy ballistas that are not usually used, they are also undergoing intensive maintenance.

"Tell them to hurry up! We don't have time." General Qin's voice was filled with sullenness: "Turn up the heavy ballista. Even if you drag it, you must drag it over for me, hurry up!"

"Yes, I'll rush." ​​The short soldier said, turning and running away.

"Useless waste..." General Qin cursed in a low voice.

Without the assistance of siege weapons, infantry alone would not be able to stop the monster's footsteps. But now, in order to protect this city, it can only be piled up with human lives.

Just when General Qin was worried, the Chijia Herald finally arrived and announced a decision that shocked him:

"The lord ordered to leave this place immediately."
