Chapter 726: Persuading Surrender (Part 1)

"Uncle, we need to make plans early." A young knight came behind Ivli and reminded him in a low voice.

Looking at the scene in the distance, Ivli said nothing.

The king's order to him was to defend the city of Rostock for half a month, but facing an army of 200,000 people, he could not hold it for even five days.

Ivli put his hands on the battlements and looked at the moat below, which was five hundred meters wide. There were countless Barberry piranhas in the water, a kind of gregarious monster that could kill everyone in just three minutes. A three thousand kilogram beef cow was devoured cleanly.

"The order goes down. From now on, the armor must never leave the body, the weapons must never leave the hands, and each city wall must maintain two thousand soldiers, no matter day or night."

"The city of Rostock is under complete lockdown. Except for the military, no one else is allowed to leave their residences. Anyone who sees suspicious persons will be shot to death."

"Notify the Church of the God of Beasts to be ready to activate the magical shield at any time to prevent the enemy's strong men from attacking Rostock City."

"Yes, General."

The messenger officer beat his chest in salute and quickly left the city wall.

After stopping to watch for a moment, Ifli put his hands behind his back, glanced at his nephew, and said in a deep voice: "Come to me in the study after eleven o'clock in the evening."

"Yes, uncle." The young knight responded.

In the barracks of the 15th Army, Verin looked at the information in his hand, which recorded in detail all the information about Rostock City Guard Elif Means, including his family background, fighting methods and leadership characteristics.

"The Means family has been inherited for three hundred years and exists dependent on the army of the Kingdom of Geman. Ifli is the current head of the Means family. His family was involved in the rebellion of the eldest prince Doboman forty years ago. , the previous head of the family and his eldest son committed suicide to prove their innocence, but the family was still hidden for more than thirty years and was reactivated five years ago. "

"Tell me, let's see, is it possible for this person to surrender to us?"

Kyle received the information about the Means family from his master, took a glance at it, and said with some uncertainty: "It should be possible, but we still need to test it."

"Then it's up to you. If you can capture Rostock City without spending a single soldier, this is the best choice."

"My subordinate understands."

Late at night, Kyle separated into a clone, attached his mind to his body, and then used transformation spells to transform into a gray bird and fly to the city of Rostock.

The most powerful among the Shadow Assassins is only Silver High, who is not yet able to perform such a task, so he can only do it by himself.

In addition, he also wanted to test the effectiveness of the combat skill [Multiple Uses with One Thought] to see if there was anything that needed improvement.

The gray bird flew to the wall, looked at the dozing soldiers, stayed for two minutes, and then flew into the city.

After flying around the city of Rostock, the gray bird arrived at an ordinary building based on the deployment of troops and the aura of the strong men in the city.

The gray bird flew to the window, turned into a leaf, and attached to the potted plant. It observed the master assassin hidden in the dark and listened to the conversation between the two people in the room.

"Uncle, it is only a matter of time before German City falls. For the sake of our family, we have to leave here as soon as possible."

"To put it lightly, except for me, you, and Polit, the rest of the family are under house arrest in the royal capital. If we have any rebellious behavior, it will be when their heads are missing." Iliff looked at Nephew, he said in a deep voice.

The young knight clenched his fists and continued to advise: "Uncle, if you stick to Rostock City, the family will eventually be destroyed. As long as we escape now, the family still has a chance of survival. As for the clansmen in the city, I believe they can understand."

"I am the leader of the clan. I cannot ignore my clan members. This is what I promised your grandfather." Iliff directly rejected his nephew without thinking.

"Uncle, can't you see the situation clearly?" The young knight was unwilling to give up and yelled at Elif.

Iliff looked at his crazy nephew and said expressionlessly: "Okay, don't let me hear such words again, otherwise even if you are my nephew, I will behead you in public and use your head to Stabilize military morale.”

Seeing his uncle's sharp eyes, the young knight was shocked. There were people around him, and then he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, not daring to say anything more.

"Okay, let's go down and rest." Iliff patted the young knight's shoulder three times, softened his tone, and said.

"yes."

The young knight bowed and saluted, and then left the study.

Kyle, who turned into a leaf, watched the two of them parting ways unhappily. He was not in a hurry to reveal himself, and secretly observed every move of the master assassin.

From Iliff's tone and attitude, Kyle could feel that the other party had discovered that someone was spying on him, and deliberately pretended to hate iron and steel in order to protect his nephew. As for the sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Geman in his heart, it was still It requires further testing.

After seeing off his nephew, Iliff came to the map to study for two hours. He wrote down the areas that needed improvement in the city's defense on paper. With a tired look, he walked through the inner door on the side and entered the room to rest.

Half an hour later, Kyle felt the assassin's aura disappear, moved his body slightly to let the moonlight shine on the leaves, and then continued to wait.

In the next two hours, the Master Assassin came back three times to observe whether Iliff would conspire with his nephew in the middle of the night. When he saw the other person sleeping on the bed, his inner doubts dissipated, and he left Rostock City and went to the royal capital to resume his life.

Outside the city, Kyle's real body opened his eyes and looked at the assassins leaving Rostock. He subconsciously wanted to summon the Spear of Putlank, but when he thought of the plan to persuade them to surrender, he resisted the urge to act.

"It's time to act."

After saying that, Kyle closed his eyes again and projected his consciousness onto his clone.

The leaf slowly changed its form under the moonlight, turning into a black bird. Its figure fell into illusion, passed through two stone walls, and came to Iliff's bedroom.

On the bed, Iliff felt a strange breath and suddenly opened his eyes. A black bird was hanging upside down on the beam and staring at him.

"Who are you?" Iliff secretly gathered his strength, ready to escape from the bedroom at any time.

Kyle landed on the floor, shed his black bird appearance, revealed his true face, and asked politely: "General Iliff, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. On behalf of the 15th Army of the Fourth Corps of the Expeditionary Force, I want to express my sincere greetings to you."

"What a big deal, you just sent an eight-seal assassin into the city casually. Aren't you afraid that I will leave you here?" Iliff stared at Kyle, with a sinister look on his face and a threatening tone.

"It's just a clone. If it's gone, it's gone." Kyle had a smile on his face, but his tone was very cold, "If you destroy my clone, when the city is broken, Rostock will be bloodbathed. I guarantee that no one will leave the city alive."
