Chapter 37: The Assassin

On the second day, the sky was still dark, and Manon's army marched out.

The army held countless torches along the way, and the continuous army was shaped like a long dragon. From far away, you can hear the rumbling sound like muffled thunder.

This is the virtue of the African land, which is extremely hot during the day. If there is a large-scale march during the day, people will eat horse chews along the way, which will be a heavy logistical burden. The night is different, the night is very cool, which can save a lot of physical strength and food and water supplies.

After a day and night of marching, Manon's army soon arrived at their destination. Looking at the large tribal camp ahead, under the command of Manon, the army rushed towards the tribe in front of them like a tide.

...

The result is naturally without suspense, and Manon's army won the victory easily. Although many people were lost, Manon didn't care at all. This time the military action once again greatly pushed Manon's sphere of influence forward.

"How? How is my army?" Manon asked Jiang Ning who was standing beside him.

"The elite of a hundred battles, but..."

Manon nodded in satisfaction when he heard the phrase "the elite of all battles", but the latter sentence made him a little displeased: "How?"

"The tactics are disorganized, and the strength of the army is not exerted!"

Manon became interested: "Wizards also understand the army?"

"My lord, don't you know that wizards are famous for their knowledge?"

"I really haven't heard of it!"

Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head: "For a long time, the image that wizards have given to the outside world is mysterious and weird. Some witchcraft that drive elements make the world think that wizards are powerful magicians. In fact, they are not. The most feared thing about wizards is that they Wisdom and erudition. And magic is just a means for us to defend ourselves."

"So, you know a lot of knowledge?" Manon was very interested. From this era to the next few thousand years, knowledge will always be in the hands of a few people. If Manon was curious about Jiang Ning before, he didn't pay much attention to it. Now, Manon's perception of Jiang Ning has risen to a higher level. After all, those who possess knowledge should be respected!

Jiang Ning will not be polite to foreigners: "Yes, whether it is the knowledge of wizards or mortals, I understand it very well!"

"Tell me, what knowledge do you know?"

"That depends on what you are interested in, Your Majesty."

"When you go back, you have to tell me well." Manon meant to test the school.

"my pleasure!"

...

After the war is won, the army will naturally return.

After the extermination of this tribe, all the tribes in other places also knew about it. The extermination of another tribe made the remaining tribes panic. These tribes gathered together to discuss how to deal with Manon.

...

At the foot of a mountain, the leaders of various tribes gathered together and kept arguing.

"quiet!"

The noisy voice made the initiator of this tribal meeting very impatient.

"Father asks you to be silent! Don't talk!"

The chaotic quarrel disappeared, and the leaders of each tribe looked at the king on the high platform.

"Everyone gathered here should cast aside prejudices! Before it's too late, the remaining tribes should unite to resist the tyrant!"

"He has wizards under him, and no one is his opponent!" said a tribal chief.

There is also a black-skinned female chief who added: "I heard that a wizard came from far away China. He took refuge under Manon's command! This wizard from the 'Chinese tribe' is said to have mastered ice, fire and a An unseen magical force!" Her words sent horror into the rest of the tribe.

"Manon is difficult to deal with if he has a wizard. Now, another wizard has joined Manon! Can we still defeat Manon?" Another chief said,

Said worriedly.

Obviously, his words caused a wave of panic.

"Even if Manon owns two wizards, so what? Are we going to sit still and let our respective tribes become Manon's slaves? Unconditionally dedicate the land we live on to Manon? No, if this is the case, the tribe still exists. What's the point? We should unite and send troops together to deal with Manon."

"Basha, what soldiers do you have now? Your soldiers are all dead. Now you have nothing but stones and yellow sand." The chief's son who initiated the meeting said. (I don’t know what it’s called, there’s only an English Takmet)

But Basha grabbed his hand holding the wine glass violently, and he couldn't help but bend down because of the pain: "If I am not a king, then why are you kneeling down to me!"

"Basha!"

In an instant, all the tribal warriors drew out their weapons.

Basha turned around, wanting to take out his weapon.

Immediately afterwards, there was a whistling sound, and a war scythe was tightly embedded in the wooden stake.

...

"assassin?"

"It's from Akkad!"

The identity of the visitor was recognized by the surrounding tribes.

"The people of Akkad? I thought they were extinct!" Basha said.

The chief explained: "They are the last Akkadians, the elite of assassins. I invite them to come over and assassinate Manon's wizard!" The old chief threw out a small package after finishing speaking.

The leading Akkadian took it, opened it, and found dozens of rubies inside.

When the old chief's son saw it, he said anxiously: "That is the only remaining wealth of our tribe!"

"If you can't defeat Manon, it's useless to leave a lot of wealth." The old chief said sharply: "If they eradicate the wizard, will you send troops?"

The chiefs of each tribe discussed together, then nodded in unison, and agreed to send troops to fight together.

The four assassins turned around and left after receiving the commission.

"Hey, people of Akkad!"

As soon as the leader turned around, a war scythe flew towards him. He easily took the scythe and put it behind him.

"Don't die so easily, Akkadian!"

...

"A group of Akkadian assassins are coming to assassinate us!" Cassandra said.

Manon knocked and stopped on the armrest of the chair: "How many people are there?"

"Only four people!"

"Heh, there are only four people, and you dare to do the assassination?" Manon didn't care, and then he looked at Jiang Ning.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. We will let them come and go!" Jiang Ning said.

"very good!"

Jiang Ning's "loyalty" made Manon very satisfied, and then he issued an order.

"Since these Akkadians want to assassinate, let them assassinate." Manon said sharply, "I would like to see how capable these assassins are!"

"Obey, Your Majesty!" After receiving Manon's order, his generals began to make arrangements one after another.

Then, the anti-siege against the four assassins officially began!
