After a night of hard work, White slept with an exhausted beauty in his arms all morning.

In the afternoon, White urgently summoned nobles in important positions to enter the palace and castle to discuss how to deal with the second princess's army next.

The opponent has just won a great victory on the battlefield and will definitely pursue the victory and attack the royal capital again. White must be prepared for a defensive battle.

It was a matter of life and death, so the nearby nobles and all remaining knights had to be gathered in the royal capital to reorganize a considerable knight force.

You should also quickly recruit adventurers operating in and around the royal capital with high rewards and turn them into mercenaries. When the war starts, let them rush to the front and serve as cannon fodder.

In addition, notify the Western and Northern Territories to send troops to support again, and this time order Linshui City to also send reinforcements.

Anyone who dares to be disobedient, or who deliberately responds slowly and wants to wait and see the situation, will definitely be severely punished afterwards.

White doesn't need a disobedient dog.

The next day, the deputy assassin leader suddenly appeared in the office, walked up to White and knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, the team previously sent to Border Guard Town to carry out the assassination mission has returned."

"Why are you reporting to me?"

Looking up at the other party, White said coldly: "Where is Ye Meiren?"

"For detailed information, Your Majesty, please move to the dungeon and listen to the report of the returning assassin."

The deputy leader would not dare to report the situation truthfully here. Once His Majesty gets angry, he will definitely vent all his anger on himself.

His predecessor had his head smashed in anger when reporting to White due to the failure of a certain mission without Ye Mei's participation, and he fell unconscious on the spot.

After waking up, he developed strange symptoms and could not hold the weapon steadily. Later, he was seriously injured during a mission and was decisively abandoned.

It is precisely because of this that the deputy leader was able to take over.

To be on the safe side, let the three assassins who came back alive face His Majesty's wrath. This is what he planned to do.

It turned out that it was not Ye Mei who came to report the mission situation to him in person, which made White feel slightly uneasy.

"Did the mission fail?" he asked.

The deputy leader continued to lower his head, with a little cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, and did not answer.

"I'm asking you a question, Tiehuo." White's tone became a little colder.

If he didn't speak, he would offend His Majesty. Tiehuo had no choice but to raise his head slightly and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this reply, White suddenly stood up from his seat, walked around the table and walked towards the iron fire.

This move frightened Tiehuo and he quickly lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly. His Majesty would probably hit him on the head with something. He was already mentally prepared to be beaten.

However, the angry attack never appeared.

Confused, Tie Huo slowly opened his eyes, turned his head and looked up at White, who was standing aside.

"His Majesty?"

"Stand up for me."

White was indeed angry, and you could tell by his low tone.

"Go to the dungeon."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tiehuo stood up quickly.

Taking the iron fire, White hurried to the innermost room of the dungeon, where he saw three assassins who had returned alive. One of them was carrying a short stick-like thing wrapped in cloth on his back.

As expected, Ye Mei is not here.

With an angry look on his face, White walked to a seat, turned around and sat down.

Upon seeing this, the three assassins immediately knelt down on one knee.

"I have met His Majesty."

After sitting down, White put his hands on the armrests and glanced at the three people in front of him.

"How come you three are the only ones back? What happened to Ye Mei?"

"Return to Your Majesty."

The assassin in the middle raised his head and replied: "This mission to assassinate Marquis Aisen failed. Others were killed during the operation. Lord Ye Mei was also seriously injured. He should probably be dead now."

"Ye Mei is dead?"

Although he probably knew the result in his heart, when the matter was actually confirmed, White still couldn't help but want to get angry.

He grasped the armrest tightly with both hands, and veins popped out on his arms and forehead.

"Why didn't you save her when she was seriously injured?"

"this……"

Everyone could see that White was very angry now, and the assassin cautiously replied: "Your Majesty, our principle of action is to assassinate the mission target by any means necessary, abandoning all those who are holding back, including the seriously injured. Lord Ye Mei also

Allow us to abandon her and come back to life."

After a pause, he added: "Besides, we don't know how to treat the injured."

"I don't care about the lives of you dogs. I can abandon anyone, but not Ye Mei!"

With a bang, White raised his hand and slammed the armrest.

"It's no excuse not to know how to treat people! Won't you go to the church and kidnap a priest who can use healing skills to treat Ye Mei?"

"But……"

"What else?! A bunch of losers! How dare you come back after the mission failed!"

White grabbed the iron torture instrument on the table nearby and threw it at the assassin, hitting his head.

"hiss--"

The assassin covered the bleeding part of his scalp, not daring to scream. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, lowering his head.

At this time, the assassin on the right who was carrying something on his back said: "Your Majesty taught us that we are willing to accept any punishment. However, Lord Ye Mei has one final message that he wants us to come back to inform you."

"What did she say?" White's eyes fell on the assassin carrying something.

"Sir Yemei said, don't underestimate Border Guard Town. It can defeat the Dongsheng Fortress army because of this weapon."

With that said, the assassin took off the things on his back, opened the outer cloth, and showed White the musket and two small bags inside.

Looking at the weapon on the ground that he had never seen before, White frowned slightly and turned to look at Tie Huo.

Tiehuo understood immediately, walked over, picked up the musket, and handed it to White.

After playing with it twice and not understanding how to use it, White asked, "What kind of weapon is this?"

"Back to Your Majesty," the assassin said, "This weapon is called a musket. It is a long-range attack weapon and is extremely powerful. During this assassination operation, several of our companions were killed by muskets."

"Musket? How to use it? Show it to me."

White handed the musket to Ironfire, who in turn handed it to the assassin.

The assassin first took out a metal-cased bullet from a small bag, and then recalled how the guards in Border Guard Town used muskets.

After finding and opening the lid of the medicine tank behind the musket, he realized something was wrong.

Why can't this bullet go in?

Putting down the bullet, the assassin carefully looked at the musket in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this gun seemed different from the musket used by the guards in Border Guard Town.

Could it be that what Master Ye Mei stole was a failed work?

Thinking of this, the assassin couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

The two companions beside him seemed to have noticed something was wrong, but there was nothing they could do. They could only pray that he would be lucky.

"His Majesty……"
