Chapter 73 Fortunately, he is a human being
"Everyone prepare for battle! Summer, take your men to investigate the enemy's situation! Report any traces of the enemy at any time!"
"Light the beacon fires, three beacons! Ask for help from White Hart Castle!"
Li Ang gave the order first, and then asked Lisa Dilan while putting on his equipment: "What's going on? Where did the army come from?"
"It must be this dead face that caused this..."
Looking at the unconscious employer, Leon pulled off his hood.
A bald head that was pale and bluish was revealed. There was not a single hair on the entire head. His lips were blue and purple. He really looked like a dead person.
But fortunately , he was breathing and had a heartbeat, and he was not some non-human.
That’s good. Li Ang temporarily gave up the idea of running away.
He took a bowl of water and poured it on the dead man's face, but the man remained unconscious and unresponsive.
"Lisadilan, tell me the exact situation in detail, don't miss any details!" Leon needs more information now.
Risa Dillan began to tell his story in rapid and detailed fashion.
More than two months ago, Lisa Dilan left Maixiangling and went to Changhe Town.
His mission is to find and bring back the man who hired him to assassinate Leon.
Perhaps most assassins would not turn against their employers - but that's because the result of a failed assassination is usually death, so even if they want to turn against them, they don't have the chance.
However, when faced with a situation like Lisa Dilan, where the assassination attempt failed and he was controlled by drugs, there is nothing that can be done.
After all, assassins are also human beings and want to survive . Lisadilan really doesn't dare to gamble on the authenticity of the "Hundred Days Soul-Breaking Pill". He must bring this employer to Leon alive within three months.
Originally, Lisa Dilan thought that this employer should be easy to find. After all, employers usually wait for the results.
But he didn't expect that after he arrived in Changhe Town and left the previously agreed "mission accomplished" sign, he waited for several days but still no one contacted him.
Lisa Dilan searched almost every corner of Changhe Town, but still couldn't find this person.
Afterwards, the kingdom launched a war, and garrisons in various places stepped up their defenses during the war, and Changhe Town was also under martial law.
Lisadilan had no choice but to sneak out of the city in the middle of the night and plan to return to Maixiangling first.
But halfway , on the banks of the Aire River, more than a hundred miles away from Maixiangling, he met a strange group.
It was a temporary camp with dozens of people inside.
There were a few well-armed knights, a motley crew of bandits in varying degrees of armor and clothing, a hooded minstrel, and some masked men in black.
Risadiran was originally a top assassin, and he easily saw that those men in black were his former colleagues - they were killers.
Moreover, the hooded bard was dressed exactly like the employer he met in Changhe Town.
So Risa Dillan sneaked closer to that camp.
Then, Lisa Dilan heard the following conversation:
"…That's not an empty village. There are a lot of troops there! We don't have enough manpower! You bastard…"
"Then wait until the war is over. The moment the war just ends is the best opportunity! The empire will send a large army to support you. As long as you succeed, you will become the governor of the empire!"
"But he will come back after the war..."
"Don't worry... I will lead him to the Crow Village... Seize the opportunity and bring more people! Don't you still want to get that little girl..."
One of the voices in this
The other voice probably came from a young knight.
Without hearing the previous words, Risadiran was not quite sure about their intentions, but at least he was sure of his goal.
So he left a mission accomplished mark in a conspicuous place in the camp.
The employer did come out at night, but when he saw Leon's noble emblem, he quickly retreated and directly ordered everyone in the camp to besiege Lisadilan.
The poor elf killer then realized that this employer was also a dishonest person.
Lisadilan tried his best to escape, then turned around and quietly followed the group of people - the bard's style reminded the irritable elf of his last employer. Even without Leon's order, Lisadilan would not let him go.
Since the other party had so many people, Lisadilan had never found a good opportunity to carry out the kidnapping. Killing people was actually easier. The elf was confident that he could kill the employer with one arrow, but it would be difficult to take him away alive.
These people headed westward, stopping in every village, walking very slowly and in many twists and turns.
The knights quickly dispersed with their men, but the men in black never left the bard's side. They were all assassins, and their vigilance was quite high. Lisadilan was almost discovered by them several times.
He had no choice but to follow this group of people to look for opportunities, and this process lasted for half a month until they came to the vicinity of Kaine Castle.
This is already the western part of the Sarleon Kingdom.
Finally, all the black-clad killers were dispatched.
Lisadilan finally found an opportunity to capture the bard.
But the strange thing is that the bard, whose face was as pale as a dead man, seemed to have turned into a fool from the moment he was captured by Risadilan.
Yes, it was as if his brain was completely broken. No matter what Lisa Dilan said, that dead face kept repeating one sentence: "You will regret it..."
You know, not long ago, he was still eloquently persuading the knight.
And the most troublesome thing was that he didn't move at all, like a real fool.
No matter how Lisa Dilan tortured him, he never moved, refused, resisted or cooperated.
Apart from the fact that he needed a little bit of food and drink and could speak a few words, he really didn't look like a living person at all.
It took great effort for Lisadiran to get him away from the vicinity of Kaineburg.
For an elf who has to hide and travel thousands of miles with such a big stupid thing, it can be said that he has paid a huge price...
And they couldn't be discovered - if the Noldor elves kidnapped humans, they would definitely be besieged.
Well, even if humans kidnapped other humans, they would still be besieged...
But he couldn't kill this fool. He had to bring him back alive no matter what, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to Li Ang.
So he stole a carriage from a nearby village, and then put the man's purse in the carriage owner's house. Although the proud elf had been an assassin, he was unwilling to steal. This time he took the money without permission because he had no choice, so he left enough money to buy the carriage.
Even with a carriage, it was still extremely troublesome. Hearing the words "You'll regret it" every day, Lisa Dilan really felt a little regretful.
If it weren't for the 'poison' in his stomach, Lisa Dilan would have wanted to give up every day...
It took him a full month to bring his men to the vicinity of Trubrunn, a village about a hundred miles west of Maixiangling.
At this moment, the fool suddenly seemed to wake up, broke the rope with unimaginable strength, and ran away.
Risadiran was caught off guard and was almost run into the village by the man.
Fortunately, the employer didn't run very fast, and the elf reacted quickly and caught up with him in time, knocking him unconscious at the entrance of the village.
But then, a large number of bandits with various equipments came out of the village of Trubrun, and they were a dark mass...
