Chapter 59 I Stepped on One Again
Koizumi felt that this assassination was a bit of an exaggeration!
Isn't it just about assassinating a woman who doesn't know any martial arts, and a few other people who don't know any martial arts?
Even if there is a fifth-rate master in charge, he can complete the task easily. Is it necessary for him to bring nineteen sixth-rate masters with him?
Two or three are enough!
However, his master was worried and said that the city lord election was imminent and there must be no mistakes. If it affected the empire's revival plan, he could not afford it. He did not want to become a sinner of the empire!
Although the plan implemented by the master has been carried out perfectly, he is still afraid of unexpected events. Junbe Ichiro is an example. He does not want such an accident to happen again.
Therefore, not only was he the top Red Leaf Assassin, but nineteen Green Leaf Assassins were also sent to cooperate with him in order to ensure the success of the assassination.
Although he, as one of the Thirteen Red Leaves, the top assassin of the Empire, was well-known in the Empire and had completed no less than a thousand assassination missions, each of which was completed perfectly, earning him special honors from the Empire.
But after all, he is just a person living in the dark, and is far inferior to the big figures like the master. Even if he complains in his heart, he can only agree without hesitation and dare not ask more questions.
The information provided by the intelligence network is that the target will rest in Bitao Forest tonight, which is a perfect place to take action!
There is no village in front and no shop behind, in the wilderness, killing people and burying bodies!
After receiving this information, Koizumi Lang immediately summoned the other 19 Green Leaf Assassins, explained the assassination mission to them, and set the time of the assassination at Chou hour!
This is the time when a person is most sleepy and least alert!
Although he didn't care about this action, the assassin qualities he had developed over a long period of time prevented him from slacking off at all!
After sorting out everything, Koizumi Lang and 19 Green Leaf Assassins left the gathering place and rushed towards the target location!
Because they were all martial arts masters, they were incredibly fast. In less than an hour, they had reached a distance of about 500 zhang outside the target area. Koizumi Lang, who was hiding behind a big tree, could already see the flickering bonfire in the distance.
Such a glaring target is like a fat sheep exposed in front of a group of wild wolves. Just one charge will eat the fat sheep until not even a bone is left!
"Surround!" Koizumi Lang whispered, and then the nineteen Green Leaf Assassins, divided into teams of two, immediately dispersed and surrounded the target in the middle, forming a siege.
"Go!" Koizumi Lang gave a signal, took the shining samurai sword in his hand, jumped off the tree with another green leaf assassin, hid in the bushes, and rushed towards the target quickly.
"boom!"
As a result, after just a few steps, a deafening explosion was heard, and a huge fireball rose on the left side of Koizumi Lang and rushed into the night sky, rocks flew everywhere. The powerful impact force blew Koizumi Lang's black robe whistling. Looking at the two Green Leaf Assassins, there was no trace of them.
"idiot!"
Koizumi Lang cursed and immediately ordered the remaining assassins to stop sprinting. He narrowed his eyes into slits and observed carefully.
"The enemy is on guard!" Koizumi Lang whispered. Although he was shocked by what this thing was and how powerful it was, this was not the time to worry about it. Facing the target that was on guard, Koizumi Lang's relaxed mood immediately became tense, without a trace contempt!
It seems that just as the Lord said, this is the last resort!
"Move forward carefully and watch out for hidden weapons!" Koizumi Lang commanded.
This time they slowed down their pace and moved forward bit by bit. This way, even if the target was ambushed or on guard, they could find it and destroy it!
After all, not every assassination by an assassin is extremely secretive and will not be known to anyone. For some mission targets, they know that there will be assassins coming to assassinate them, so they will set up a tight net to guard against them.
Poison gas, hidden weapons, killing array, and substitutes!
Each of them was in danger of death, each of them was full of murderous intentions, they cracked them all one by one, killed the target, and completed the mission perfectly. Even if there were heavy losses, the target would never be alive!
Although I don’t know what kind of defense the target of this kill has made, I don’t know what such a powerful thing is.
But as long as they are fully alert and use their profound assassination experience and skills in breaking through defenses, it is only a matter of time before their targets die under their samurai swords!
"boom!"
Another deafening explosion sounded , and the two Green Leaf Killers on the other side were blown into pieces. Rocks flew everywhere, hitting the branches and leaves of the woods, making a rustling sound.
"hateful!"
Koizumi Lang was a little angry. These were the supporting assassins that the empire had spent a lot of money to train. They couldn't even train one out of thousands of assassins. Four of them had died before they even got close to the target, and their deaths were so unclear without any reaction at all!
However, Koizumi Lang was a veteran Red Leaf Assassin after all. He immediately realized that the target's means of defense against assassination should be on the ground, and quickly commanded: "The trap is on the ground, search carefully!"
The remaining fifteen Green Leaf Assassins immediately held their samurai swords and searched forward bit by bit, clearing a path bit by bit. They slowed down to a normal walking speed and advanced bit by bit.
“Click!”
A barely audible sound was heard, and a Green Leaf Assassin stopped and whispered, "I stepped on something!"
Upon hearing this, the Green Leaf Assassin next to him immediately lowered his body and looked at the feet of the Green Leaf Assassin: "The trap should be in the soil. Judging from the sound, it should be three to two feet deep!"
If Shen Lang was next to this assassin, he would be so surprised that his mouth would be wide open!
This ear is so damn good that it can judge the depth of the mine just by the sound!
"What should we do?" The Green Leaf Assassin who stepped on the landmine spoke in a nervous voice. He heard the explosion just now and saw the power of the explosion with his own eyes. If he couldn't handle it well, he would be blown to pieces like them.
The Green Leaf Assassin squatting on the ground hesitated for a moment, then took the samurai sword in his hand: "It should be a trampling trap. Once you raise your leg, it will definitely be triggered!"
As he spoke, he inserted the knife into the sole of the Green Leaf Assassin little by little: "As long as the weight is still there, it won't be triggered!"
As he spoke, the knife passed through the sole of the Green Leaf Assassin's foot. The cold samurai sword made the man break out in a cold sweat.
"Huh!" The Green Leaf Assassin took a deep breath, sweat on his forehead, and said, "Pull your foot out, be careful!"
Then the man took a deep breath, carefully pulled his feet out of his shoes little by little, and then carefully stood to one side!
Sure enough, there was no explosion!
"Huh!" The man took a deep breath, feeling as if he had survived a catastrophe. With his back wet, he spoke: "What should I do now?"
"Look for a stone around here that weighs about five pounds!" the assassin, squatting on the ground and holding the knife, spoke.
"Okay!" The man nodded, bent his body, and walked to the side little by little.
“Click!”
As a result, the man had just taken two steps when there was another crisp sound under his feet. At that time, the man's face turned green, uglier than crying. He turned his head and looked at the Green Leaf Assassin squatting on the ground.
"I stepped on another one!"
