"How is the selection this time?"
Temple on Utopia Mountain. Dean was drawing the blueprint of the giant mercury crossbow while asking Neuss about the matter.
"Master, according to your instructions, we have selected the top 50 assassins on the list. The military and the parliament have also sent 20 masters who are good at lurking. They can sneak into the inner wall at any time and form a new intelligence network." Neuss stood at the bottom of the stairs and said in a sincere manner.
Dean nodded slightly. He turned his finger and drew the last stroke. He put down the pen: "Are you ready?"
"They are on standby!"
"Alright." Dean nodded: "Tell them to go to the inner wall immediately and use the new route to sneak in. Also prepare three portions of high level undead powder for them every day. Tell them to be careful on the road."
"I have prepared it for them."
"Go."
Neuss cupped his hands and left the temple. Half an hour later, he arrived at a church-like hall outside Mount Wu Tuo. There were seventy figures with different temperaments standing in the hall. Although there were a lot of people, the hall was very quiet, and there was only silence.
Neuss stood on the steps and looked at everyone: "Have you memorized the mission?"
"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.
Neuss was satisfied. He took out three drawings from his handbag and handed them to the three people in front: "This is the route to the inner wall and the route you will take to sneak in. The chairman has ordered us to set off immediately!"
The three of them took the drawings and nodded.
With the three of them in the lead, everyone left through the back door in an orderly manner. In the blink of an eye, the hall that held seventy people was emptied.
Neuss looked at their backs and sighed: "I hope you can come back alive …"
…
…
Seventy people left the lobby and went along the street. They were wearing the Holy Church's medals. Passersby didn't dare to block their way.
They went all the way out of the town and came to the bottom of the giant wall. There were ten people stationed there. They were looking at two iron chains that were hanging down from the giant wall.
Seventy people came to the top of the giant wall. They followed the ropes and climbed to the top of the giant wall.
It was the first time for all of them to come to the top of the giant wall. They stood at a height of one kilometer and looked down at the ground. They found that the people on the ground were so small and insignificant.
"The scenery is so beautiful from a high place."
"Look, there's a monster hunting over there."
"I see it."
Although the seventy people were disciplined but they were excited at the moment.
"Don't waste time. Remember your mission. Stay here and wait. The rest of you follow us down." The three people who had received the drawings from Neuss said.
They climbed down the rope on the outside of the wall and climbed directly to the hunting area outside the giant wall.
Climbing down from a height of a thousand meters undoubtedly required a higher level of mental fortitude. Although many people were frightened, they had no choice but to obey the order. After everyone climbed out of the giant wall, they followed the lead of the three people and moved forward along the giant wall.
After walking for more than ten miles, they once again saw two iron chains hanging down from the giant wall. 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 chains.
The new route was very simple. First they would climb out of the giant wall and then they would go around the wall. They would wait until they reached the giant wall area of the inner wall and then they would climb over it.
After they successfully sneaked into the giant wall, there was a wasteland in front of them. They smeared the powder on their bodies and dispersed into small teams. They ran along the wasteland at a very fast speed, like ants exploring the way.
When their line of sight was raised, their extremely fast running figures became indiscernible on the ground. At the end of the wilderness in front of them, a towering city stood on the ground. A purple thorn flower flag was stuck on the city gate. This was the city under the protection of one of the 12 Earls, the Earl of Redbud.
The city was bustling with people on the streets.
There were fortresses and high walls near the four entrances of the city wall. It was heavily guarded. At the moment it was broad daylight and all four gates were open. From time to time there would be undeads wandering outside the city but they would be shot down by the soldiers on the gate.
A group of ragged pedestrians lined up at the gate waiting to enter.
"Stop!"
"Ten silver coins for the entrance fee!"
The soldiers guarding the city shouted at the pedestrians with swords in their hands.
"Sir, we have no money …"
"No money? Get out! "
"I beg you, let us go in. I have been hungry for five days. I beg you …"
"Get out! Don't touch me with your dirty hands or I will cut off your hands! "
The soldiers guarding the city roughly picked up a few dusty refugees from the group and threw them to the side. They pointed their swords at them, causing them to tremble in fear.
Someone at the back couldn't stand it and shouted, "Didn't it cost ten copper coins to enter the city in the past? Why does it cost ten silver coins now? How can there be such a high entrance fee? I will report you to the magistrate! "
"Report? You go! But you have to pay first before you can enter the city. If you don't have money then get out! "
"You!"
"Humph, what you! Ten copper coins is not wrong. Look at the situation now. Ten silver coins is considered light. If you can't even take out ten silver coins, why are you still alive? "
The guards' attitude was rude and unreasonable. They stared at the dissatisfied people. The others who wanted to speak immediately shut up. They didn't dare to open their mouths and cause trouble for themselves.
A few of them paid and were immediately let go by the guards. But they were only allowed to enter the city gate. There was a checkpoint behind the gate. Every pedestrian who entered the city would be taken to a tent to check their body.
"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 to escape and didn't bring that much with me. When the army quells the corpses, I will give you ten gold coins. What do you think?"
"Eight …" The guards thought for a while and said: "You can sign an IOU."
"Thank you, thank you …"
At the back of the line, there were nine people with unique temperament. There was a hint of impatience in their eyes.
"Big brother, I didn't think that the God wall is not only barren but also so chaotic. I really don't know how the wall lord manages it. It's simply funny."
"I think we should directly go in. They can't even deal with a small corpse. I really don't know what kind of people are raised here!"
"I don't know. This is the first time I know that corpses can break out inside the giant wall. I really don't know what is the use of the God wall."
"You guys keep your voice down. It's our turn."
Soon, it was the turn of the nine people.
The guards looked at the hunchbacked old man in the lead and saw a three-meter-long saber on his back. The arrogant look in their eyes softened a little and they said, "Ten silver coins to enter the city!"
The crooked old man didn't say a word. He took out a golden bill from his bosom and handed it to the guard. "This is the entrance fee for the nine of us. Keep the change."
When the guard saw this, his eyes lit up and he immediately put it away. He said with a smile, "Please."
Nine people immediately entered the city. The old man handed out another two golden bills: "Let me enter the city."
The inspecting officer immediately understood. With a smile on his face, he waived the strip inspection and allowed the nine of them to enter the city.
"Fortunately, Old Nine killed the officer on the way. Otherwise we wouldn't have money to enter the city."
"Big brother, we can directly climb over the wall. It's so troublesome."
One of the burly men muttered as they walked on the streets of the city.
The crooked old man didn't turn his head: "What's the hurry? It took us half a year to get here. Do we need more time?"
"It's not a matter of time. It's troublesome …" The burly man corrected.
