Many's silhouettes were hidden in the crowd, inconspicuous.
Gazing from afar at the small inner castle with a wooden sign that read 'Sibor Castle Defense Division', Many gritted their teeth. There was no other reason other than the fact that this place was heavily guarded. Apart from the thick stone walls and the two rows of guards standing at the entrance, they thought to themselves, 'Why does this place look like there's going to be a war?'
Taking a closer look, Many realized that the land here was very 'clean', and the so-called 'clean' was because there were no stalls or hawkers that could be seen everywhere on the streets.
Looking left and right, Many walked to a fruit shop and bought a few juicy fruits that looked good, chatting with the shop owner as they did so.
After asking, Many realized that the so-called City Defense Division actually had considerable authority, and was a 'multi-functional' department — from patrolling the city at night, managing public security, assisting the Magistrate Division in apprehending criminals, and even assisting the Castle Management Division in managing illegal peddlers who did not have a permit to set up their stalls!
Due to being overly domineering, there were a few instances where peddlers gathered to protest against the City Defense Division, but they were all suppressed. Now, the City Defense Division had learned to be smart, and had a large number of guards blocking the entrance every day, always vigilant.
"Could this be … the castle management … the legendary city enforcement officers?"
Many rubbed their noses, turning to look at the heavily guarded City Defense Division that only had one exit, and felt like laughing.
Just as they were imagining how to sneak in, Many suddenly realized that the guards in front had suddenly opened up an exit, and a small group of people who looked like soldiers on horses slowly walked out in an irregular formation.
"What's going on?"
Many took a bite of the crisp and delicious juicy fruit, and asked the fruit shop owner who was sitting beside him.
"That's because the team is going out for patrolling again, and those who go out at this hour are usually going to smash other people's stalls!
Sigh, these guys, stopping people from doing business for no reason. I heard that the low-rent stalls that Count had allocated to struggling merchants for business have been occupied by them for their own personal use! "
The shop owner rambled on endlessly. "Look, the leader is Joy who does all sorts of evil. That guy is ignorant and incompetent, and it's all because of that rich merchant brother of his. That rich merchant is really rich!
Last time … "
Many of them exclaimed that they were lucky to have found Joy, whom they were looking for, without going in. Ignoring the boss who was talking nonsense beside them and had already started to talk about his aunts, many of them threw a few silver coins and quietly followed the few big horses that stood out on the street.
Many of them pulled up their hoods. Although the probability of Joy recognizing them in this chaotic street was close to zero, many of them were still cautious and kept walking in the blind spots of Joy, who was riding on his horse, and kept tailing him.
Patience, restraint.
Many of them were like pedestrians on the street, stopping from time to time to look at the items in the shops, or haggling with the vendors who were qualified to set up "legal stalls" by the roadside. From an outsider's point of view, it was impossible to tell that many of them were following Joy and his men.
Of course, no one noticed a hooded figure in the crowd staring at Joy from afar.
Many of them didn't even notice it.
The streets of Sibor weren't narrow, but Joy and his men took up more than half of the width of the road. When the pedestrians saw the patrol team, they made way for them, fearing that they would get into trouble.
However, the patrol team that was advancing suddenly stopped.
Because in front of them, a fruit stall that was originally in good condition was suddenly overturned by someone!
No one saw who did it. They only saw the fruits rolling on the ground and the unlucky vendor who screamed and immediately bent down to pick up the fruits.
"Hey!
Get out of the way! "
Joy, who looked insufferably arrogant, was obviously annoyed. Many people also took advantage of the chaos to pick up the fruits, but they didn't notice that they had blocked the path of Joy and his men, causing them to be unable to move forward at all.
Seeing that his shouting was useless, Joy pulled out his horsewhip and jumped off the horse. He waved his hand and whipped fiercely —
"Pak!"
This explosive sound shocked many people. They lifted their heads and looked at Joy.
"Get the f * ck out of the way!
Do you hear me?
You bunch of … "
Before Joy could finish his words, he suddenly stopped talking. When the people turned to look at him, they found that a dagger with a deep bloody groove had been stabbed into his back!
Just now, when Joy shouted, a hooded man in black suddenly rushed out from beside him. Without saying a word, he stabbed Joy!
But that was just the beginning.
The black-clothed man kicked the back of Joey's knee and abruptly pulled out a dagger. With a ferocious swing, the half-kneeling Joey's throat was instantly slashed open with a horrifying large wound!
His throat was clearly visible as it was exposed to the air along with the blood that was spurting out. However, there was still a terrified expression on his face. His mouth was wide open, and the sound of breathing echoed in the suddenly quiet street. The surrounding people were shocked speechless because of the sudden change of events.
"Sir!"
When Joey's men saw this, they panicked and jumped off their horses in a panic. They unsheathed their standard longswords that they had never used before and pointed at the black-clothed man standing there. "There's an assassin!
Murder! "
"I will inform the City Defense Team!"
One of them was smart enough. He roared and immediately jumped onto the back of his horse. He pulled the reins and turned the horse around, wanting to rush out.
Unexpectedly, the man in black raised his hand and the dagger that he used to slit Joy's throat shot out. The dagger spun and accurately hit the man on the horse!
The man fell off the horse and his neck was broken!
This move shocked the rest of the patrol team members — they surrounded the man in black with swords in hand, but none of them dared to attack.
Finally, one of them could not hold back anymore. He swung his sword and slashed at the man in black who was standing beside Joy who was about to die!
However, this guy soon became the first one to die among them. The man in black stretched out his hand and easily grabbed his wrist. With a "ka" sound, his wrist was crushed!
After that, he snatched the long sword and twisted his body. A silver light flashed and a head flew into the sky, killing the provocateur neatly and neatly.
Suddenly, the patrol team members who surrounded him all took a step back. Their morale immediately fell to the bottom.
But this was the beginning of his terrifying performance!
He took the sword that he snatched, turned around and slashed at Joy who was suffocating to death!
Blood splattered all over the ground!
Joy's head was chopped off!
Then, there were a few sounds of metal hitting flesh — there were also the creepy muffled sounds of bones being crushed. Joy was dismembered in front of everyone!
The crowd of onlookers who had fled far away didn't dare to look at the bloody scene anymore. They scattered like flies being driven away.
Only a hooded figure stood by a stall far away. He looked at everything with a surprised and puzzled gaze.
