Chapter 589

"Then...what's the result?"

"The result?"

"The result of the bait, did the fish...take the bait?"

Albert's pupils shrank, and after Mu En's reminder, he quickly reacted and immediately took out the sound transmission stone to confirm.

Soon, the news from the other side was transmitted back.

"Took the bait."

Albert breathed a sigh of relief:

"The people of the Royal Orchestra were detained by the Royal Knights, saying that they were going to investigate the assassins, and the purchasing team on the other side was also attacked by a mysterious team. The result...is temporarily unknown."

Albert's expression was a little weird when he saw this, and he closed his eyes slightly in pain. Although the result was unknown, he could already think of the fate of those people. In a sense, those innocent people died because of him.

"It's not your fault, Your Highness."

Mu En glanced at Albert's face, hesitated for a while, and raised his hand to pat his shoulder and comforted him.

"You are also a victim."

"Thank you..."

"But it's good that the bait has been hooked. If they have been hooked, it means that they have indeed been deceived by us, which can buy a lot of time."

Moon continued to study the map, thinking about how long it would take for the other party to react.

After the return of the old ghost, he has used his skills to regroup many gangs in the downtown area. Therefore, as long as Andrew reacts, he will definitely be able to pass the old ghost and control some main roads leading to the destination.

But as long as the delay is too long, the other party will not have time to mobilize forces, and it is impossible to stop them with just a few gangs...

Huh, wait?

"Where is the other bait?"

Moon raised his head, staring at Albert, and suddenly asked:

"Your Highness should have mentioned that there are three baits when he discussed with me before."

"Yes, the last one is the Marquis of Angus. He is the most open one and will take 'me' to the banquet venue openly."

"What's the result?"

"The result..."

Albert dialed the sound transmission stone again.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

Soon, the sound transmission stone was connected.

After a brief silence, a deep and vicissitudes voice came from the other side of the sound transmission stone.

"Have a safe journey, Your Highness, be careful."

Click.

The connection was cut off.

But these eight words have made the expressions of the three people in the carriage tense instantly.

"Your Highness, do you think he has the guts?"

"...Of course he does."

"He has the guts, but he didn't do it."

Moon pulled the corner of his mouth, smiling:

"Your brother really loves you, Your Highness. He has done this, but he is not even willing to share a little more strength to pretend."

"Maybe he thinks that after all, it is the Marquis of Angus. If he really takes action, it may cost too much."

Albert smiled bitterly: "Sorry."

"Damn it, you have no reason to say sorry to me!"

Moon cursed in a low voice, then turned around suddenly and kicked the front door panel of the carriage:

"Quick, change the route! This road has been exposed!"

"Yes!"

The driver in front received the order and suddenly tightened the reins.

The horse stood up under the pull of the reins, roared loudly, and quickly turned to another road.

But, just when the front hoof of the horse just landed on the ground...

"Boom!"

The blazing light burst out from the darkness, and the roar almost tore the eardrums.

Amid the countless flying gravel and smoke, an explosion completely shattered the tranquility of the downtown area.

The gorgeous fireworks illuminated the sky, and the figures in the dark shouted excitedly. Everything was mixed and intertwined, like a grand prelude to a story that was about to reach its climax!

136. Uninvited

"Damn it, those bastards actually buried bombs on the main road. There must be a limit to madness. Can't they learn from me and be a friendly citizen who abides by the law?"

Feeling the roar and tremor coming from outside the carriage, Mu En couldn't help but roar.

Albert's cheek twitched when he heard this, and he thought to himself, you, the gang leader, have the nerve to say the words "abiding by the law"?

Unfortunately, now is not a good time to complain. The carriage was shaking too severely. Albert, who was weak, could only rely on Lawnie beside him to hold the carriage wall tightly, so he didn't fall too miserably.

Fortunately, Mu En didn't prepare an ordinary carriage this time.

At the moment of the explosion, precise magic patterns appeared on the surface of the dark carriage. The huge magic power that had been infused into it ran along the established route. The powerful defensive magic circle was activated almost at the same time as the explosion, resisting most of the damage from the explosion.

"Don't stop, keep rushing forward!"

Mu En urged the coachman in front.

"Go!"

The coachman swung the reins hard, and the horse pulling the carriage revealed a metallic scale under the light of the explosion. This was a symbol of its extraordinary bloodline. Even in such a violent explosion, the horse remained calm and was not frightened.

The carriage continued to rush forward quickly, and the explosions continued to occur.

In the bumpy ride, Mu En steadied himself and looked at Albert with a hint of anger:

"This is a premeditated ambush. Our route was not discovered by anyone, but was leaked in advance. Your Highness, are there really no loopholes on your side?"

"We don't know much about the plan, so how could there be any loopholes?"

Albert frowned:

"On the contrary, it's you who arranged the carriage and the route!"

"Your Highness, do you suspect me?"

"No... It's too easy for you to kill me. You could have done it quietly on the river before. There's no need to be so complicated."

Albert gritted his teeth:

"What I mean is that your people are too complicated. It's very likely that they have been infiltrated by the other party! Especially those underground gangs under your command! Those people are mixed, who knows who they are loyal to?"

"I'm not stupid enough to let those gangsters know my detailed plan... But forget it, there is indeed a possibility of leaking secrets on my side, and now is not the time to talk about this."

Mu En glanced at the eldest prince, and then glanced at Lao Weini who looked panicked beside him. After all, he didn't drag it on for too long, and his attention was once again on the attack outside the carriage.

After the fire, there were occasional shadows, but Mu En could sense that those people should not be too strong, otherwise this chaotic situation should be a great opportunity to attack.

After all, an explosion of this magnitude would not hinder the attack of the strong.

Is it a gang in the lower city?

And this explosion, although it looks scary, is more like delaying their steps and completely exposing their position in this way than an attack that wants to kill them.

It seems... not necessarily a leak of intelligence, but the other party is really crazy enough to set up blocking explosives at every intersection leading to the destination!

In that case, even if the route is temporarily changed, it is impossible to get rid of the enemy's pursuit, but it will have to take a long detour and increase the risk!

Albert seemed to have thought of this and asked with a serious expression:

"What should we do? It seems that we can't get rid of the other party now."

"Hold on."

Without looking back, Mu En took out a small copper whistle from somewhere and blew it suddenly.

The piercing whistle instantly penetrated the carriage and echoed above the lively night sky of the city.

Someone looked up in the dark, following the whistle away, but didn't know what the whistle meant.

Soon after, another whistle sounded, as if in response.

Mu En put away the copper whistle, looked straight ahead, and said coldly:

"Your Highness only needs to make sure that he is not bumped or bruised, and the rest... will be left to professionals."

...

"It's a message from Mr. Bruce!"

Rat King Sam put away the copper whistle in his hand, looked at the figures under his feet, and a hideous smile appeared on his ugly face.

"Young men, the opportunity to show off has come!"

Rustle...

The sound of light armor rubbing behind him was something that the Rat King had never heard many times in his life.

On the roof, in the shadow of the balcony, in the hidden treetops, and on the commanding heights overlooking the street where the carriage was passing quickly, fully armed thugs, with the same excitement on their faces, walked out of the darkness.

They wore standard light armor flashing with cold light, held the latest military crossbows in their hands, and even had several round alchemical bombs hanging around their waists. The luxury of their equipment was so great that even the guards would be scared to death.

The excitement in their eyes came from this.

They had never fought such a rich battle.

Naturally, they had to have a good time.

"Listen to my orders."

Under the command of the Rat King, these specially trained and most elite criminals raised their crossbows at the same time and aimed at the figure in the dark.

"Release!"

"Swoosh--"

Puff.

Puff.

Puff.

After the sharp sound of breaking wind, there was the sound of flesh and blood being pierced instantly.

Those squatting in the dark below were also some fierce and fearless vicious people. Many of them even crawled out of blood and fire and were considered strong in the lower city.

However, before these cold crossbows, their lives were also harvested equally.

Blood mixed with flames, creating a scene that looked like hell.

The shrill screams could not even stir up much waves, because these sounds were quickly drowned out by the roar of explosions.

"What a nice picture."

The Rat King looked down at his feet, reflecting those pictures in his eyes, and smiled happily.

After being in the Lower City for so long, which gunfight was not a fight with his head tied to his belt and his life at stake?

This was the first time he had experienced such an easy, almost massacre-like battle.

This made him feel fortunate that choosing to follow Mr. Bruce was the most correct choice of his life.

"Clear the enemy and escort the carriage according to the original plan."

"Don't worry, Lord Rat King, with these things, I can easily deal with the beauties who fought with me for several rounds at night." The subordinate teased.
