Dark King

Dudian was engraving the blueprint of the giant mercury crossbow as he asked Neuss about the matter.

“Young master, according to your instructions, the people selected are the top 50 assassins. The military and parliament have sent a total of 20 experts who are good at hiding. They can infiltrate the inner wall at any time to form a new intelligence network.”Neuss stood at the bottom of the stairs, he spoke in a pious manner.

Dudian nodded slightly. He put down the pen: “Are they ready?”

“They are ready at any time!”

“Alright.”Dudian nodded, “Let them go to the inner wall and enter through the new infiltration route. Also prepare three pieces of high-level undead powder for them every day. The inner wall is in chaos so let them be careful on the way.”

“I’ve already prepared it for them.”

“Go.”

Noyce cupped his hands and left the temple. Half an hour later, he came to a church-like hall outside Mt. Utuo. There were 70 figures standing in the hall, each with a different temperament. Although there were many people, the hall was quiet and silent.

Noyce stood on the steps and looked around at the people. After examining them, he said, “Have you remembered the mission?”

“Yes!”Everyone answered in unison.

Noyce was very satisfied. He took out three sets of blueprints from his handbag and handed them to the three people standing at the front. He said, “This is the route of the inner wall area and the route that you have infiltrated. The chairman has ordered us to set off immediately!”

The three people took the blueprints and nodded.

With the three people in the lead, everyone left in an orderly manner from the front and back doors. The hall of seventy people was cleared in the blink of an eye.

Noyce looked at their backs as they left and sighed softly. He muttered to himself, “I hope all of you can come back alive…”

..

..

After the seventy people left the hall, they left in a vast and mighty manner along the streets. Their actions were swift. They wore the medals of the Holy See on their bodies. When passersby saw them from afar, they hid to the side and did not dare to block the way.

They ran all the way out of the town and came to the bottom of the giant wall. There were more than ten people standing guard here, watching over the two iron locks that were hanging down from the giant wall.

Seventy people came to this place, gave the order to attack, and then climbed up the giant wall along the rope.

It was almost the first time for all of them to come to the top of the giant wall. When they stood at a height of 1,000 meters and looked down at the ground, they realized that the people on the ground were so small, so small that they were insignificant.

“So the scenery on the high ground is so beautiful.”

“Look, there is a monster hunting there.”

“I see it.”

Although the seventy people were disciplined, they were a little excited at the moment.

“Don’t waste time. Remember your respective missions. Stay here and wait. The rest of you, follow us down.”The three people who had received the blueprint from Noyce earlier shouted softly.

They climbed down along the ropes that were placed outside the giant wall and directly climbed to the hunting area outside the giant wall.

Climbing down from a height of 1,000 meters undoubtedly had a high psychological requirement. Although many people were frightened, they still had to obey the order. After everyone climbed to the outside of the giant wall, under the lead of the three people, they stuck close to the giant wall and kept moving forward.

After walking for more than ten miles, they saw two iron locks hanging down from the giant wall again. There were two people hiding in the grass and soil here. After verifying the warrant with them, they watched them climb up the giant wall along the iron locks.

The new infiltration route was very simple. First, they would climb out of the giant wall, then go around the wall of sighs from the outside. When they reached the giant wall of the inner wall, they would climb in again.

After they successfully sneaked into the giant wall, what was in front of them was a wasteland. They smeared the zombie powder on their bodies and then separated into small teams. They ran along the wasteland at high speed, like ants scouting the way.

When their line of sight was raised, their figures running at high speed became barely visible on the entire land. At the end of the wasteland in front of them, a towering city stood on the ground, a purple thorny flower flag was placed on the city gate. This was the city protected by one of the twelve earls, the Earl of the thorny flower.

The city was bustling with activity, and the streets were filled with people.

Near the four entrances to the north, south, east, and west of the city walls, there were fortresses and high walls, which were heavily guarded. It was broad daylight, and the four city gates were all open. From time to time, there would be zombies wandering outside the city, but before they could get close, they would be shot to death by the soldiers on the city gates.

A group of pedestrians in shabby clothes lined up at the city gates, waiting to enter.

“Stop!”

“Ten silver coins to enter the city!”

The city guard held his sword and ordered the pedestrians.

“Sir, we don’t have any money on us…”

“No Money? Get lost!”

“Please, let us in. I’ve been hungry for five days, please…”

“Get lost! Don’t touch me with your dirty hands, or I’ll cut off your hands!”

The city guard roughly lifted a few refugees from the line and threw them to the side. He pointed his sword at them, scaring them so much that they trembled.

Someone behind them could not stand it and shouted, “Wasn’t it enough to enter the city for ten copper coins in the past? Why are you asking for ten silver coins now? How can there be such a high entrance fee? You are collecting dirty money. I want to report this to the Court!”

“Report? Go ahead! But you have to pay first before you can enter the city. If you don’t have money, then get lost!”

“You!”

“HMPH, what you! It was true that you had ten copper coins in the past. Don’t you see the situation now? Charging you ten silver coins is considered light. You Can’t even take out ten silver coins. Why are you still alive?”

The attitude of the city guard was rude. He glared at the dissatisfied people with a cold aura. The others who wanted to say something but hesitated immediately stopped, not daring to open their mouths and cause trouble for themselves.

A few of them who had paid the money were immediately let through by the soldiers, but they were only allowed to enter the city gate. Behind the city gate was another checkpoint. Every pedestrian who entered the city would be brought into the tents to have their bodies examined.

“Sir, I, I only have eight silver coins. I have money. I have a lot of money. It’s just that I was in a hurry when I escaped and didn’t bring that much with me. After the army has calmed down the corpses, I will give you ten gold coins. What do you think?”

“Eight…”the city guard weighed it and said, “You can do it. Sign an IOU.”

“Thank you, thank you…”

At the back of the line, there were nine figures with unique temperaments standing quietly in line. Some of them were impatient.

“Big Brother, I didn’t expect that this wall was not only barren, but also so chaotic. There was actually a riot of corpses inside the wall. I really don’t know how this wall master manages it. It’s a joke.”

“According to me, we should just kill our way in. We can’t even manage a small riot of corpses. I really don’t know what kind of people are raised here!”

“It’s true that this place is a little weird. This is the first time I know that there will be a mess of corpses inside the wall. I really don’t know what the divine wall is for.”

“Keep your voices down, we’re almost here.”

Soon, the team was in front of the nine people.

The city guard saw the hunchbacked old man in the lead and glanced at the nearly three-meter-long saber on his back. The arrogance in his eyes calmed down a little and he said, “Ten silver coins to enter the city!”

The hunchbacked old man didn’t say anything. He took out a gold note from his pocket and handed it to him. “Keep the change for the entrance fee for the nine of us.”

When the city guard saw it, his eyes lit up. He immediately put it away and said with a smile, “Please.”

The nine of them immediately entered the city. When they were checking their bodies, the hunchbacked old man handed them two gold notes again. “Let me enter the city.”

The military officer who was checking immediately understood. He smiled and allowed the nine of them to enter the city without taking off their clothes.

“Fortunately, old nine killed that military officer on the way. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even have the money to enter the city.”

“Big Brother, why don’t we just climb over the wall and enter? It’s so troublesome.”

Walking on the street in the city, one of the burly men muttered.

The hunchbacked old man said without turning his head, “What’s the rush? We spent half a year to get here, and we’re still short of time?”

“It’s not a matter of time, it’s a problem…”the burly man corrected him.

“We need to stay in this city for a few days to understand the situation here. It’s easier to do things with a legitimate identity,”the hunchbacked old man said coldly. “Don’t cause trouble for me. Although there’s no existence here that can threaten us, if they know that our intention is the female war god’s corpse, they can destroy that God’s corpse. Do you understand?”
