Last Totem Novel - Chapter 600
Chapter 600 Assassin
At 9:00 a.m. Silver City Time, Dr3717-05-17, and 28:00 a.m. Scarlett Time, Hildebrand received a notice from the Supreme Military Command Conference of the Aurora Plane War. He then led a group of expeditionary knights to the Thunderbird Legion, the Four Directions Alliance Army, and the Aishan Tribe to conduct an on-the-spot investigation.
The Black Pig King represented the four allied forces and followed the team to cooperate with Hildebrand’s investigation. Tie Zha followed behind the Black Pig King and pretended to be a guard.
Shortly after arriving at the scene, the Legion General of the Thunderbird Legion also brought a group of soldiers over. As the saying goes, enemies meet and envy each other, but Tie Zha and the Black Pig King didn’t even say a word and just looked at each other quietly. The angrier people like them were, the calmer they looked on the surface. Their gazes were as cold as knives, as if they were following each other, as if they were always looking for opportunities to turn each other into a corpse.
Strangely, when facing the two of them, the Thunderbird Legion’s commander did not show much fear, as if he was confident and confident. Logically speaking, he had seen the performance of the two of them on the battlefield, a proper Quasi-Saint Realm expert. At this moment, they were only a few meters apart. Even if he had the support of the Chosen One, it was impossible for him not to be worried that they would suddenly explode and crush him on the spot.
Tie Zha couldn’t help but increase his vigilance, maintaining the operation of the power furnace, and didn’t relax for a moment.
“Relax, guys.” Seemingly aware of his nervousness, Hildebrand smiled warmly at him and said.
“Yes.” Tie Zha, who was wearing a helmet and had switched on the phonograph, nodded his head and made a mechanically synthesized sound.
“Alright, both of you, tell me, what was the situation like back then?” Hildebrand pointed at the wreckage on the battlefield and said, “After we return, it would be best if we could provide the corresponding video …” He paused and turned to look at the leader of the Thunderbird Legion before continuing, “Then, let’s start with you.”
“Yes, my Lord Knight.” Guild Leader Thunderbird nodded in agreement.
“That day, we attacked from the southwest …”
“First use artillery to bombard the highlands, and then send mecha and soldiers up the mountain …”
‘”Who knew” He raised his hand and pointed at the Black Pig King, his face filled with resentment. “These bandits actually opened fire on us from the southeast in order to fight for merit, disrupting our formation to the point that …”
“Bullshit!” The Black Pig King cursed angrily, his eyes wide open as if he was about to spit out fire.
“Friend, don’t worry.” Hildebrand patted the Black Pig King on the shoulder, then turned to look at the Thunderbird Guild Leader and asked, “Then, Guild Leader, please explain, why did you ask me for help at that time?” Without waiting for the other party to speak, he reminded, “I still have your call for help video.”
‘”This” The Thunderbird Guild Leader was momentarily stupefied, his eyes flickered, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, “Is there any need to say this!”
“You are colluding with each other to frame us!” The Thunderbird Guild Leader roared out, his face extremely ferocious.
“Impudent!” Hildebrand’s adjutant’s expression was cold as he took a step forward and shouted at the Thunderbird Guild Leader.
“Brother, calm down.” Hildebrand grinned and pulled away Adjutant Afey. Then, he said to the Thunderbird Guild Leader, “Go on, I’m listening.”
“I … we’re just a small team, you … you don’t have to …” Perhaps because of guilt, Guild Leader Thunderbird shrank back in fear after being shouted at by the adjutant. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn’t speak swiftly anymore.
“Friend, have you thought about it? Being someone else’s chess piece can be sacrificed at any time.” Hildebrand said calmly, without the slightest bit of emotion.
“I…” After a long silence, the Thunderbird Guild Leader raised his head, his gaze wandering, as if he was hesitating about something.
“Friend, the omnipotent Saul will protect those who are honest and kind and send despicable and shameless liars to Eternal Purgatory.” Hildebrand took a step forward and said sincerely.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The gray-robed guard, who had been standing behind the Thunderbird Guild Leader with his hands hanging down naturally, suddenly shook his body and a sharp sword pierced out of his robe, piercing into Hildebrand’s chest.
The latter’s pupils contracted sharply, but it was too late to dodge. Seeing that the sword tip that emitted sparkling blue light was about to pierce into his chest, adjutant Afei shouted and smashed him away in a low voice.
“Pu!”
The long sword pierced through the power armor and pierced through his chest. The blood on the sword quickly dried up and turned into steam.
The assassin missed his attack and was about to pull back his sword, but Ah Fei grabbed it tightly.
“Uh!” Blood oozed out of his mouth and nose, and his eyes were filled with determination.
The assassin shouted, his wrist suddenly exerting strength, he twisted his hand, pulled out his sword, waved it down, and directly sliced open Alfey’s head.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The assassin who pulled back his sword injected his psionic power again and stabbed towards Hildebrand who had fallen to the ground.
At this time, Tie Zha, who had always been on alert, had already drawn his saber and chopped it down. That action was unstoppable as it slashed towards the assassin head-on.
The assassin was immediately shocked. He changed his movements halfway and defended with his sword. With a “clang” sound, a large amount of sparks flew out and the two of them retreated at the same time.
This assassin was none other than the Saint-ranked expert, Vernon, whom Matthew the Chosen had sent to assassinate Hildebrand. Seeing that the opportunity had passed, Vernon did not dare to fight and was about to soar into the sky. Suddenly, the top of his head darkened. A fat and sturdy giant, each holding a short axe in his hands, slashed at him aggressively.
Vernon leapt backwards and dodged the attack. But before he could stabilize his body, Tie Zha followed closely behind and slashed at him with a knife. He had no time to dodge, so he had no choice but to follow suit.
Clang!
Half of the blade flew out from the sparks. Vernon staggered backwards, his tiger’s mouth numb, and his sword almost slipped out of his hand.
The Black Pig King immediately chased after him with large strides, brandishing his two axes and slashing towards him like a whirlwind. Vernon dodged left and right, in a sorry state.
“Ah Fei, Ah Fei!” Hildebrand recovered from his shock and roared. Ten years side by side, feeling deep and righteous, but never would he have imagined that one dynasty would have an eternal incantation. His eyes were red, filled with grief and indignation. He pulled out his psionic dagger and pounced on Vernon.
Seeing someone rushing over, Vernon gathered his strength and forcefully carried an axe. Then, he kicked the Black Pig King’s lower abdomen and kicked him more than ten meters away.
“Kill!”
The next second, Hildebrand swooped in and stabbed Vernon in the waist.
Vernon focused his attention and gathered his strength. Star Sand rapidly flowed along the lines of the sword. At the instant the blade touched his waist, he moved downwards and was about to slay the target with his sword. However, at this moment, a strong wind blew behind his head. He had no choice but to give up the opportunity and block the path backwards.
Clang!
With a cracking sound, Vernon’s sword came out of his hand. Before the tiger could recover from its numbness, Hildebrand, who was behind him, hugged his waist and stabbed the dagger at him.
For a moment, the azure star sand flew everywhere, and Vernon’s entire body surged with light waves that could withstand the dagger’s stab.
As soon as Vernon broke free, Tie Zha held a half-straight machete in both hands and slashed it straight at his neck. He abruptly retracted his head, dodged downwards, and rolled sideways.
Until this moment, he had already changed from full of confidence to a frightened bird, and the thought of dying was uncontrollable.
After scram, he immediately jumped on the ground, wanting to escape as soon as possible.
“Da da da!” “Da da da!” “Da da da!” “Da da da!”
A group of Templars brought along by Hildebrand had already raised their assault rifles, pulled on their bolts, and waited for the right moment. Vernon was just a few meters off the ground when a dense barrage of bullets shot towards him, scattering the stardust all over his body.
“Die!”
Vernon’s body froze, and a huge black shadow shot straight at him like a cannonball, knocking him back to the ground.
As soon as he got up, he was thrown to the ground by the Black Pig King, and his football-sized fist smashed down onto the ground.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” Even though he had a psionic energy protecting his body, he was still smashed to the point that stars appeared in his eyes and his body sank into a layer of snow. He held his breath and condensed all the psionic energy in his body. He suddenly exploded and sent the giant man flying.
But before he could get up, a second figure pounced on him and desperately smashed his head.
At this moment, Vernon was already scared out of his wits by his opponent’s reckless fighting style. For so many years, he had always maintained his position of superiority. Even if he occasionally attacked, he would only deal with people who were much weaker than him.
“Wow!” Vernon shouted wildly, once again erupting with psionic power, knocking over the person riding on his body and soaring into the clouds.
“Da da da!” “Da da da!” “Da da da!” “Da da da!”
The dense bullets shot at him again, causing him to stagger on the verge of collapse.
“Aggressive …”
At the same time, red light flashed below, and the men brought by Tie Zha fired their MANPADS.
In the next second, a huge fireball exploded in the sky, and Vernon fell down with black smoke all over his body.
Tie Zha, the Black Pig King, and Hildebrand immediately surrounded him and greeted him desperately with daggers, axes, and broken knives.
Vernon struggled on the ground, blasting away one or two of them from time to time, but it was useless. There was always someone pestering him, leaving him with no way up and no way down. In the end, his physical strength was exhausted, and his psionic armor shattered. The dagger entered his chest, the axe broke his bones, and the knife cut open his flesh.
By the time Vernon stopped struggling, there was no good meat on his body. His facial features exploded and his limbs twisted. The Black Pig King grabbed his hair and smashed his head on the ground until his skull burst and multicolored brain fluid flowed all over the ground.
After killing Vernon, the three of them panted and sat on the snow.
After a while, Hildebrand got up, walked to Afey’s corpse, hugged it in his arms, and cried loudly.
The Knights Templars knelt halfway and then split into two rows, raising their assault rifles and firing towards the sky.
At this time, the Thunderbird Legion members had already fled the scene and were nowhere to be found. Tie Zha and the Black Pig King exchanged a glance, both of them soaring into the air and chasing after the footprints on the snow.
A moment later, the two of them landed in front of the Thunderbird Guild Leader’s convoy one after the other. The team members jumped out of the car and scattered.
“No … it’s none of our business … we’ve also been tricked …” The Thunderbird Guild Leader retreated and said, “Big … big brother … listen to me … we were also forced …”
The Black Pig King walked forward and grabbed his head with both hands.
The Thunderbird Guild Leader said in horror, “Big … big brother … I can help you testify … that you were framed …”
“It’s meaningless.” Tie Zha said expressionlessly. For political games, the so-called evidence was created.
“No … you can’t do this … you can’t …”
The Black Pig King’s eyes widened and he suddenly exerted his strength. The Thunderbird Guild Leader struggled and stopped screaming abruptly. Finally, with a “bang”, his head exploded and a large ball of blood mist erupted. .
