The night in the backwater bar has never been so quiet, but the owner of the bar, Robert, doesn't complain too much. Because of the war, the port has been blocked, and the pirates who are afraid of causing trouble have already left Otez.
, and the backwater bar whose customers were mainly pirates naturally became quieter.
"I feel like I'm feeling extra depressed today..." Lai, a wolf girl who was the waitress at the backwater bar, was lying listlessly on the bar, looking like a husky with her ears drooped. "I always feel like something bad is going to happen."
The tall woman who was wiping the bar next to her chuckled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. What's more, haven't we already contacted Blackbeard's ship? If Otez falls, we can leave safely."
The woman who spoke was actually Miss Fuqin, the older sister of the Butcher Sisters. Tired of killing, she chose to come to the Backwater Bar and became the boss lady here... Huh? Boss lady?! When did she and Robert get together?!
In short, don't worry about the details. The bad relationship between her and Robert started with an unexpected encounter, but let's talk about this later.
On the other side of Robert, Lapu, a girl from the rabbit tribe, helped sort out the bills while comforting Lai and said: "It's okay, Lai, Uncle John has been collecting information in the city. If there is anything strange, we can know it as soon as possible.
.”
The reason why everyone came to comfort Lai is because Lai's premonitions have always been effective, or he has a keen sense of danger, right? Before Lapu could finish speaking, the little Mai hurried into the tavern.
"What's wrong? Mai?" Robert's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Len's premonition might have come true. "Don't panic, drink some water first..."
"Huuchi...huchi..." Mai sat down in front of the bar, gasped and took the water from Lapu. After drinking it all in one breath, he said to Robert in a hurry, "Boss, something is wrong.
!Uncle John said there were some strange noises coming from the underground waterways...well...something unusual and strange!"
Underground waterway?! The word sounded in Robert's head like a burst of thunder. He stood up suddenly and said seriously: "Mai, send someone to notify the lord immediately... No, maybe it's too late... You let everyone go first.
The brothers of Dead Water block the underground waterways as much as possible! Then go to the Lord’s Mansion to report!”
"Okay, okay!" Although Mai didn't know why he did this, he would naturally carry out the boss's words meticulously.
Seeing Robert's serious look, Rapp couldn't help but asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"We have all missed...the most fatal point!" Robert's face was extremely ugly, "Underground waterway - those guys will attack from the underground waterway!"
Except for Robert, the other three women are not aborigines who have lived here all year round, so although they know about the underground waterways, they do not understand it as clearly as Robert does.
The underground drainage system under Otez City is specially designed to prevent waterlogging caused by seawater intrusion. In other words, the underground sewer is actually connected to the sea outside! When the water level is usually low, it can be used as a quick passage to pass through the building.
Ortez City is a maze-like city with many things, but every year when the red moon comes, seawater will flow into the underground waterways. Even people with the best water skills cannot swim from the outer sea to the city because of the distance.
Too long!
But not only Robert, but also the lords of the Orton Territory also ignored the possibility of the enemy attacking from the underground waterways. In their view, the underground waterways during the Red Moon period were simply inoperable. This was a problem for the eastern city-states.
All residents have a consensus based on years of life experience, so they subconsciously did not prepare for the entrances and exits of underground sewers. But it is obvious that the enemy's strength far exceeds their imagination... or in other words, the enemy may have water.
To breathe, many magic accessories and magicians can do this. Magic accessories are a rare thing in Otez, and the number of magicians is also pitifully small, but the enemy has five thousand magicians.
ah!
"Let's go and help! They alone can't deal with so many enemies." Robert went to the inner room and asked everyone to get their weapons and prepare to go to help. At this time, the members of Deadwater managed to
Chad ran in and said out of breath: "It's bad! Boss! Queen Alicia is surrounded!"
"What?!" Robert almost overturned the table - it was raining all night! No... the enemy intended to assassinate Queen Alicia at this time! If all the attention in the city was
Concentrate on Her Majesty the Queen's side, the defense of the city...
"Tsk...it's really troublesome, Richard, come with me." It seems that Otez can only rely on us to protect him!
On the other side, in the refugee camp in the west of Otez City, Alicia looked at the assassin in front of her with a frown. Her intuition told her that although this strangely dressed guy did not have legendary strength, he would definitely put himself to death.
strength!
"Hahaha~ She is really a beautiful and charming girl." The assassin in front of Alicia was wearing a spotless white dress and a golden half-beak mask on her face. Although her voice was magnetic,
And charming, but his eyes exude a cruel light!
"Who are you? Are you Uncle Keesling's subordinate?" Alicia simply couldn't imagine that her normally gentle uncle would have so many powerful followers. Didn't her father know? Still, he knew and didn't say anything.
?
"Kislin? Are you talking about that idiot?" The assassin sneered and shook his head, "He is just a dog at the feet of the Holy Lord. But you...Miss Alicia, the Holy Lord treats you very well.
We are very optimistic about it, and we originally planned to let you be the vessel for the coming of our god. But unfortunately, we have found a more suitable candidate..."
Alicia frowned slightly. It seemed that Braino's coup was not as simple as she imagined, but now was not the time to think about it... Alicia looked around. The refugee camp that was overcrowded just now was now empty.
One person, and even Lucica, who had been following her, disappeared. All this happened after the assassin appeared. It was obvious that the assassin used illusions or other spells...
"Let me introduce myself first~" The assassin bowed exaggeratedly and said excitedly, "You can call me Raven, I believe you will be my most beautiful collection..."
Before he finished speaking, Raven took a step forward, and white dust suddenly fell from his clothes - it turned out that she was wearing black clothes! Because the white powder adhered to her clothes, Alixi
Ya mistakenly thought he was wearing white clothes!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the raven arrived in front of Alicia, with an elegant and cruel smile on its lips, and the curved snake-like dagger stabbed Alicia's throat! Alicia's pupils shrank——
Too fast! The speed is far beyond his own reaction ability! Isn't he really a legend?!
Subconsciously raising her hand with a sword, Alicia cut the raven in half. However, she only heard a loud sound, and the raven, which was easily cut in half, turned into white powder and covered it like a piece of paper.
Alicia's sight. Alicia coughed violently after inadvertently inhaling some white powder. The strange powder did not seem to be as powerful as she imagined, and seemed to be just ordinary dust.
"What do you think of the taste?" Alicia turned her head suddenly, only to find that the raven was actually on her right, looking at her frivolously! She cut it off with a sword, and the raven turned into white powder all over the sky again.
!
"These are... the ashes of a beautiful girl! Hahahaha!" The curved snake dagger stabbed Alicia's back silently...
