Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 4 Chapter 79: Carnival Day (Part 2)

The sudden change left everyone around without any preparation, and even Paul Busako, who was closest to Alexandria, had no time to make an extraordinary exclaim.

The sharp dagger penetrated the flying petals, pierced the slightly smoky warm wind in the evening, and then suddenly fell into Alexander's arms!

Songs, laughter, and people's noise all seemed to disappear at this moment. The people near the stands were stunned for a while before they could make all kinds of exclamations!

In the blink of an eye, everyone's eyes condensed on the two hugged like lovers, but actually in this seemingly intimate scene, they were two terrible murders.

In those eyes, there are surprises, panic, panic and anger, and excitement and ecstasy that cannot be concealed.

Stabbed!

This is the thought that flashed crazy in everyone's mind.

Just with this thought just scratched my mind.

"Ah ~"

A roar suddenly sounded from the wooden platform!

People saw that the stabbed Alexander's body suddenly twisted sideways, accompanied by his movements, the body of the woman who almost used his whole body as a weapon to slam up, was suddenly thrown out by him with a hard twist.

What was thrown out at the same time was a shiny and sharp dagger.

The woman's body rolled down from the wooden platform, and the dagger also flew towards the stage in an arc. When the dagger that fell over a few times was still turning in the air, a powerful hand was already high Lifted it up and held the hilt tightly.

Paul Busaco did n’t even have time to pull out his saber. While raising his hand to catch the dagger, the previously rushing body pressed hard, and in a painful scream, he had just rolled it with his knee. The woman under the wooden platform pressed tightly, while the sharp blade pointed firmly against the neck of the woman with her back up.

"Don't move, otherwise you will be killed!"

As Paul Busaco's terrifying growl rang, the people around rushed toward the wooden platform as if screaming like a dream.

But they had no chance of getting close to the wooden platform. A sharp whistle exploded from the soldiers near the wooden platform, and the hunting guards suddenly rushed towards the wooden platform.

Regardless of men and women, regardless of their status, the hunting guards violently rushed everyone in front of them, quickly surrounded the wooden platform, and isolated the surrounding people from the wooden platform, at the same time they wore their swords out of their sheaths, and the outermost soldiers were facing forward. The outsiders were pointing at the dumbfounded Pizzars, while the soldiers in the middle had already pulled out their muskets, pulled the springs, the barrel was placed on the shoulder of the companion in front, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed directly at the crowd.

"what happened?!"

At this time, Tomnio awakened in panic. He was describing a beautiful picture for himself, and he seemed to see an unusually beautiful future beckoning to him. He even planned to have a period in the future. Time to do what work, so that the Pizza can thank him Dade.

However, at this time, someone actually stabs Alexander!

There is no longer a Pizzar who knows more about what Alexander means to himself and to Pizza than Tomnio.

Despite the idea of ​​wanting to get rid of the influence from Montina, Tomno clearly knew that at least for a period of time, everything he came from Alexandria, and even longer, the whole Pisa Rely on maintaining good relationships with this person to seek change.

But at the parade celebration in Pisa, someone actually stabs Alexander!

Tomnio squeezed forward like crazy, and he pushed away a woman who was in front of him, ignoring the exclamation of her being pushed to the ground, and just shouted forward.

But he was blocked, blocked by the defensive formations supported by the hunting guards. Looking at those greasy faces, he knew almost no guesses and knew that as long as he had a little change, he could start hunting guards. , And immediately shouted to Alexander who was blocked by the guards behind him: "How are you, count, are you okay?"

Tomno's shouts made all of the surroundings quiet for a moment, all eyes were on the raised wooden platform, but because of the body guards used by the hunting guards, people could not see what happened to Alexander behind.

"Stabbed?"

A few people in the crowd stared at the wooden table with extremely nervous emotions, clenching their fists, like crazy gamblers waiting for the result after betting.

The hunting guard moved, and the two closest guards to Alexander suddenly flicked to the side. At the moment when Alexander ’s figure just appeared, Paul Busako, who had subdued the assassin, had rushed to his side, as the captain of the guard With a command, the hunting guards began to approach the crowd step by step.

"Rewind!"

"Rewind!"

The sword in the hands of the hunting guards pointed to the noble Pisa nobles, but at this time their faces were terrible and unkindly urged and shoved the adults and nobles who were in front of them.

Alexander's figure appeared, and there was no blood stains on his body, but a long slit was torn through the side of his coat, revealing a shiny reflection inside.

A close-fitting inner armor is the iron armor hidden under the outer robe that saved Alexander's life.

"count……"

Tomno, who was blocked by the hunting guards, shouted loudly, trying to stop Alexander.

But Alexander didn't seem to hear him at all. Under the protection of the hunting guards, Alexander walked quickly through the crowd. Behind him, the two hunting guards dragged the woman and quickly followed.

Tomno looked at Alexander passing by in front of him. He noticed that at the moment of passing, Alexander ’s gaze appeared to him through the hunting guards. When the two met, the sight of Tomno was unabashed. Rage and cruelty.

For a moment, the Duke of Pisa seemed to realize something, and he immediately caught up and tried to explain, but there was no chance at all. Even when he shouted to the hunting guards in front of him that he was the Duke of Pisa, it was the soldier who responded to him. Although patient, he can clearly feel the strong hostility.

Tomnio's face changed, he knew he was in the worst position, and it was clear that Alexander was suspecting that he planned all this!

Tomnio's face changed abruptly, and he began to desperately explain to Alexander, who had gone away, that when he saw the back of Alexander who ignored him at all, disappeared among the soldiers who heard the news, Tomnio's It was already cold.

And not far behind him, the Treasurer ’s face could n’t change, and he never thought that the originally planned perfect assassination would look like this. Looking at Alexander who was surrounded by soldiers and leaving the square, the Treasurer was annoyedly tight A belt hanging down to the side.

The parade crowd froze, the people in the back shouted and asked because they did n’t know what happened, and the people in the front did n’t know what to do because of this sudden scene, when they saw the news from the Montina army When they surrounded them around the square, even though they had a much larger number than the soldiers, fear and unrest immediately enveloped everyone in the square.

Tomnio was about to collapse. His eyes turned to the captain of the city defense not far away, but he responded with evasive eyes.

When he saw the Moorish man next to Alexander suddenly appear, and then whispered something with the captain of the city defense, Tomnio suddenly understood.

Obviously, at this critical moment, the Pisa City Defense Force has made a choice.

Tomnio's lips flickered slightly to say something, but the shouts around him made him unable to hear his voice, and then he saw the Moorish man approaching him with the city defense captain.

"How is the count?"

Despite seeing Alexander leave safely, Tomnio asked with concern that he was not a polite but really worried about whether Alexander was hurt.

It might be better if there was no injury, but if the injury was caused by a backstab, what kind of anger and revenge would Pizza face?

"Your Highness please rest assured, the lord is safe," despite wanting to be more stable, Uliu's face can still faintly show panic. Obviously for the Moors, everything from Alexander is if the master is killed , Then what is waiting for him is to lose everything "But the master let me tell you, please return to the Ducal Palace now."

"What?" Tomnio jumped in his heart, remembering the violent and violent look when Alexander left.

"Someone is going to stab my master," Uliu's voice couldn't help raising because of his anger, although he still maintained a respectful look, but he seemed to have been able to suppress the anger in his heart, which made Tomnio and those around him The equally panicked nobles couldn't help but startle "according to my master's order, from now on the city defense of Pisa City will be taken over by the Montina army until the assassin's accomplice is caught."

The expression on Tomnio's face froze in an instant, his head buzzing, and he even forgot to express anger and dissatisfaction.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and looked back at the stands, and then he saw the financial officer with a complex expression on his face.

At that moment, Tomnio felt as if his head was being hit hard by the galloping mad horse. At the moment of waking up, the corner of the Duke's mouth flickered first, then clenched hard, and seemed to have made a decision.

The pizzas in the square became more and more disturbed. Although the Montina army did not treat them well, the more they were hesitant, until they saw Tomnio appear in the stands, people at this moment never did. It is now hoped that the duke shoulders the responsibility of the ruler.

But they waited for an order, watching the captain of the city defense as the commander of the Pisa army, following Tommonio ’s order, announcing that the city defense would completely obey Commander Montina ’s orders, the Pisa finally woke up from panic. Over here.

Just waiting for them to show their anger, the Montina army in the dark red uniforms had begun to step towards the square, and it was the City Defense Army coming nearby with them.

"According to the orders of His Royal Highness the Duke and the commander of the army of Montina, the army of Montina has the right to order all people to return to their homes. Without permission to ban the street at night, we will search for the assassin ’s party, and the pizza must accept Check, otherwise it is considered a suspicious element. "

The Montina soldiers echoed in the square with a weird southern accent, and they kept warning the pizza people in the square as ordered, and some soldiers had begun to clash with the pizza people who refused to obey the order because they were too angry.

A rumble of horseshoes came from the street, and the pizzas holding torches gazed at the dark streets where the sound came.

The figure was shaking, the hoof was roaring, and the sound of the horseshoe stepping on the stone pavement made many people feel inexplicable.

Suddenly a sharp whistle came, and those figures coming from the horse began to run around the square quickly. They quickly entered the meeting from the north and south edges of the square, but did not stop but interspersed around the square Running non-stop.

"Bohemians!"

I don't know who it was. Some of the Agri soldiers yelled. With the yelling, the Agri people immediately raised their arms and cheered.

The Pisa people on the square looked at this scene in panic. They had heard of these Bohemians. They were some of the frightening army of Alexander ’s soldiers like the Phalanx soldiers. They were in Oral-Chimo Their performance in the Civil War made them famous in Tuscany.

The appearance of these Bohemian cavalry, which should have been in Montina, completely destroyed the Pisa's last attempt to resist.

Tomnio ca n’t remember how he came to the Ducal Palace. The Moors were with him all the way, which made him feel a little strange. When he asked if Moore should not be by his master at this time, Uzbekistan But Liu answered with an indignant look: "I must stay here, and the master wants me to watch the people who tried to assassinate him caught."

Moore's answer made Tomnio angry. He wanted to say that his court did not allow a lowly Moor to walk around, but looking at the Montina and the city defenders, he was still silent.

It was only at this time that he wanted to see the finance officer suddenly. He wanted to question the finance officer loudly if he planned it. At the same time, he secretly vowed that he must use the sword to produce the **** who had fallen into such a dilemma.

When Tomno was furiously trying to find the mastermind who planned the assassination, the Treasurer and several companions hurried to the house where they met.

Each of them is very nervous, or it is more appropriate to be afraid. Whenever they see a Montina army or even a city defense army along the way, they have to find a hidden place to hide and wait until the street is quiet before coming out.

Because of this, when they hurried back to the house, it was already very late. Except for people passing by the flashing fire from time to time in the distance, the entire street had fallen into darkness.

Several people came to the dark house along the shadow of the street. After carefully looking at the two sides of the street to see no difference, they hurried in.

The house was dark, and the finance officer listened to his companion whispering and looking for candles in the house, irritated.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the opposite side, and the Treasurer's heart suddenly became inexplicably tight. He instinctively took a step back and hit his fellow companions.

A muffled noise came from behind him, followed by a painful short moan, and the man's forehead suddenly slammed into the head of the finance officer.

The Treasurer snorted. He wanted to turn around and yell, but the cold from his neck made him instantly stiff and dared not move.

"who are you?"

"A hapless person."

A familiar voice with anger in the darkness made the treasurer feel relieved first, and then the anger rose.

"What are you doing!"

The treasury officer fumbled and pushed forward, feeling that the other party did not mean to take back the dagger. He had to stand still and continue to be angry. "Are you going to kill us?"

"If we are going to kill you, you are dead."

As the fire lighted up, a mask appeared in front of the Treasurer, and only then did he realize that several people in the room had been surrounded by several masks hidden in the corners of the room.

"Are you going to betray us to Gumbre?" The Treasurer asked ugly.

"We won't betray you, just want to see how stupid you can be." The mask man opposite said angrily.

"But we won't make you any more stupid," the young man under the Treasurer retorted angrily, ignoring the short sword across his throat. "You would be stupid enough to send a woman to assassinate the Gombré. I ’ve heard from me that I ’ve shot him. After all, I ’ve practiced Milanese sword-fencing, which is much more reliable than that woman. ”

"What are you talking nonsense," the mask man said angrily, "Isn't that woman sent by you? We need to know that our people are ready to meet you according to the plan. If you wait until the completion of the ceremony in Gombray as planned, He was about to enter the Ducal Palace, and his guards were too late to protect him. "

"Wait a moment, what did you say, that woman wasn't yours?" The words of the mask man made the Treasurer's face transient, and he stared at the eyes of the other person's mask.

"Of course not us, we thought your people broke the plan without authorization ..."

The mask man answered angrily first, and then his voice stopped abruptly.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the two sides looked at each other in silence.

There were heavy steps in the streets outside ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ and the rapid hooves of cavalry passing by.

Gradually, the treasury officer's doubtful face showed a trace of consciousness. He first held his head in his hands and opened his mouth to say something, but then he didn't seem to know where to start.

After a while, accompanied by the loud noises from the streets outside, the Treasurer burst out a snarled roar from his throat: "Gombre!"

The city of Pisa is destined to spend the restless night tonight, and in a house not far from the Ducal Palace where Montina's army is stationed, Alexander is pushing open a closed door.

His expression was calm, and there was no panic and anxiety almost due to the danger. On the contrary, when he saw a woman in the room eating and drinking, a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing Alexandria entering the door, the woman, who was still wearing a parade costume and was painted with heavy makeup from the pagan era, stood up and looked at Alexander with a smile.

"Is it okay?"

With a slight smile, Alexander replied, "Xia Schina, I must admit that you are a natural actor."
