Chapter 1717 Force Majeure
"You..." Margaret's eyes were filled with horror and despair. Then, she wanted to call for help.
However, before she could shout, Manfez suddenly flashed forward like a ghost, and a dagger cut off Margaret's throat.
Manfez is someone who has been taught by Marin himself. Marin once emphasized that the villain died because he talked too much. Therefore, Manfez was very straightforward to do things. The reason why he said that before was actually just confirming it. If it weren’t for Margaret himself, he would probably deny it subconsciously. If it was the main person, he would not deny it subconsciously, but would have other reactions.
Moreover, seeing that the other party seemed to want to shout, Manfez had to start directly. Before starting, he was 70% sure that he would meet Margaret himself.
After cutting Margaret's throat, Manfez grabbed Margaret's hair, and then the faint moonlight carefully identified his face...
He had already observed Margaret himself in the military camp through a telescope on a high building, and naturally knew Margaret's appearance. Seeing that the target was confirmed, he was worried and repaired another knife, completely cutting Margaret's neck.
Just as they were about to retreat, the little boy's screams came from the villa inside. Obviously, the so-called "Prince Henry" was killed by the English assassin.
However, at this time, the group of English assassins were in a panic.
"Where is that woman?" The panic sound of English assassins came from the villa across a wall. Obviously, they did not find Margaret.
Manfez quickly sent someone to climb up the wall from the ladder that Margaret put down, and said in a low voice inside:
"Margaret came out and was killed by us!"
When Shore heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said:
"Brother, please throw the ladder over, we're going out from here!"
The battle in front has already alarmed the surrounding area. It is estimated that the city guards from other military camps who are on the night are coming over the gate. Moreover, it is very far from the military camp gate, which is inconvenient to go out, and it is easy to be blocked by the French city guards who come to hear the sound. Therefore, they would be better off retreating from the backyard wall.
After Manfes agreed, the spy on the wall lifted the ladder and threw it in. He himself jumped off the wall and prepared to retreat with Manfes.
After leaving someone behind for Shore and the others as a guide, Manfez led the people to retreat first. However, it was not the direction of the sewer iron gate, but the direction in the city...
After the English assassins basically climbed out of the wall, the man who left as a guide took the English assassins to the iron gate of the sewer, barking dogs.
Then, after a few special cats and dogs were passed, 500 meters away, a man lit a firecracker in the shadow...
"Bang--" A loud bang went up into the sky, which attracted the attention of a city guard who had heard the shouts of killing and had just entered the gate of the military camp.
However, the location of the firecracker is opposite to the direction of the sewer iron gate. The captain of the city guard looked at the sky and divided a team of people and said:
"You guys, go to the direction of the explosion! I guess there are enemies over there!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Cage, who was lurking near the French Royal Palace, and his 20 subordinates received a signal and began to blow the fuse tied to their arms, igniting the black powder grenades and smoke bombs in their hands...
"Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-" A series of explosions came.
The entire city guards of Paris were awakened, except in the unlucky poisoned military camp.
"No, someone is attacking the palace! Come and go to the palace to protect the palace!"
At the headquarters of the City Guard, Earl Seske made an order anxiously. The explosion came from the direction of the palace, which was the residence of the king and the queen. In addition, there was Queen Mother Anne, who was loyal to Seske. They were all extremely precious masters and could not afford to hurt...
Just as the city guards in Paris were heading towards the palace, Cage, who had left grenades and smoke bombs, and his 20 subordinates, led by the spies in the North Sea country in Paris, quietly retreated in several ways. They would be taken to several extremely hidden secret passages and secret rooms. It would be difficult to be found.
...
"What? Queen Margaret and Prince Henry were assassinated? The soldiers in the barracks responsible for protecting him were poisoned and half died?" In the City Guard Command, Earl Seske was shocked when he heard the report of the soldiers sent by the City Guard who rushed to the assassination site.
This is a huge thing. Most of the military camps of thousands of people were poisoned to death. The remaining people are said to be half-dead, which is definitely a big deal. In addition, Margaret, Tudor and her fake son, which France attaches great importance to, are simply breaking the blame! You know, this is Paris! The capital of France! Such a big thing happened is simply incredible. Afterwards, he, the commander of the city guard, could not refuse the blame...
But after thinking for a while, Earl Seske's face changed drastically:
"No, we have been trapped by the enemy!"
Europeans don’t know the idiom “Transferring the tiger away from the mountain”, but they understand the meaning.
"Hurry up and send someone to the Northwest City Guard barracks to search for assassins!" Only by catching the assassin can he reduce his crimes. Otherwise, the position of commander-in-chief of the Paris City Guard will not be saved.
When the city guard army surrounded the city guard camp in the northwest urban area, the city guard soldiers soon discovered the iron gate of the sewer damaged by the "mysterious force"...
"It seems that the enemy ran away, and sent orders to send all the scouts riding horses to start from the sewer exit and search everywhere. If you find any suspicious person, you will be arrested immediately. Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
At this point, Earl Seske knew he had been fooled, but he had no choice but to send light cavalry out of the city to pursue, hoping to catch a few enemies and to report to the palace...
...
At this time, after leaving the sewer iron gate, 99 English assassins held a wounded man (injured by the city guard soldiers who had not yet been poisoned) and came to the Seine River, boarded the speedboat that had been prepared by the North Sea Spy Gate, quickly left the direction of Paris, and drove quickly towards the lower reaches of the Seine River.
However, this batch of ships was originally prepared for Cage's 20 special forces. Therefore, the number was a problem. The ships prepared before were not enough to carry 100 people. Then, the Beihai Kingdom Spy Sect hurriedly added several ships. However, some were not fast-speed speed boats...
After dawn, all the people on the speedboat evacuated to a safe place to land and hid in the secret stronghold that the Beihai Kingdom had prepared long ago.
However, in the added ships, two small boats were caught up by the French ships that followed them because of their slow speed...
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the 20 English assassins on the ship had to choose to commit suicide with helplessness.
"For the King!" The 20 assassins committed suicide on the spot with different expressions. They were helpless because their sons and other families were under the control of King Edward. If they were sacrificed, their sons would also be granted titles. But if they were captured or even betrayed... their families would not be able to survive...
Anyway, the assassination has been successful, even if they die, their sons can be awarded the title. Therefore, they all resolutely committed suicide...
