Chapter 154: The Start of an Assassination in the City
Suddenly, Romon seemed to have thought of something. He quickly turned to Rowe with a surprised expression.
“Actually, I don’t think that whether we seal the city or not will have any great impact!
“If the Empire’s assassination army really wants to assassinate us, then even if we seal the city, they will still think of other ways to get in.
“Perhaps they may already be in the city!”
After hearing Romon’s words, everyone started to feel cautious.
Following that, Rowe spoke to Romon.
“Romon, why do you say that? Could it be that you have made some new discoveries?”
In reply to Rowe, Romon spoke with a serious expression.
“From the time we discovered that the Empire had raised their troops to attack, and when we repelled them, think about how much time has passed!”
Rowe thought for a moment, then said, “Less than half a day!”
Hearing Rowe’s reply, Romon smiled, then continued.
“That’s right, it’s only been less than half a day, but there’s a very strange point that I don’t know if you’ve noticed!”
Mike asked, “What strange point?”
Romon paused before speaking.
“The people from the Empire haven’t set up camp here since the beginning. Am I right?”
Mike quickly nodded as he agreed.
“That’s right, isn’t it?”
Mike looked at Romon.
Romon then smiled and said, “That’s right. I think Sano didn’t plan to fight a long war with us from the beginning. They must have wanted to wipe us out in one fell swoop. But think about it. If they didn’t have spies in Lecter City, how would they have had the courage to do that?
“What is strange is that the Empire’s most powerful assassination army didn’t appear this time.
“Even after Sano fell off his horse, the assassination army didn’t come forward to support him. According to our understanding of Sano, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing!
“That can only mean one thing!
Everyone’s gaze shifted to Romon. Then, Romon looked back at everyone and spoke seriously.
“I think this group of assassins must have infiltrated Lecter City and they might not be too far away from us!”
When everyone heard this, they all became cautious.
“Are you saying that this group of assassins is in Lecter City right now? But how did they infiltrate this place?”
Mike asked.
Romon thought for a moment about Mike’s question before replying.
“I think that this group of assassins might have already gotten in before the two sides started fighting. At that time, the security in our city was not that strict.
“Dali!”
Romon turned to address Dali.
“Yes!”
“Go and ask the guards who are guarding the city gate right now. Ask him if there have been any large numbers of people rushing into the city at the same time!”
“Yes!”
After receiving Romon’s mission, Dali immediately walked towards the city gates.
The people who were still in the administrative building continued their conversation.
“Big Brother, you must be careful in the next few days. There must be rotating shifts of guards around you 24-hours a day!”
Romon advised Rowe.
Rowe nodded seriously in reply.
“You too! Romon, this is a critical period. You must not make any mistakes!”
Romon nodded with a smile at hearing Rowe’s words. Then, Mike spoke up again.
“Where do you think the assassination army is most likely to be?”
Upon hearing Mike’s words, everyone fell into deep thought once again.
Rowe then spoke again.
“I think if I were an assassin, I would definitely stay near the target of the assassination and find the right opportunity to kill with one move!”
At this moment, Mike and Sifusco looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Then, the two of them immediately stood up and kicked open the door of the administration building.
Sure enough, two people dressed as guards were lying in front of the door and eavesdropping on their conversation.
They had not expected Mike and Sifusco to do this, so the two of them were instantly caught.
Sifusco was the first to speak.
“Who are you people? Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation here?”
Even after being caught by Mike and Sifusco, the two guards chose to completely ignore Sifusco’s questions.
Instead, they shouted towards the sky.
“Long live the Empire! Lord Sano is immortal!”
After that, the two of them bit their own tongues and committed suicide.
Mike wanted to stop them, but it was too late.
Mike felt their pulses.
Sifusco asked, “Well? Are they dead?”
Mike looked at Sifusco, then shook his head.
“No, he’s completely dead!”
When the people who were in the room saw what had happened, they all quickly rushed out.
“What’s the situation? Are they really from the assassination army?”
Lecter asked.
Mike shook his head as he replied.
“I’m not sure. Based on their attire, I can tell that they are assassins, but they don’t seem to be from the assassination army. I’ve seen the assassination army before. They usually come and go without a trace. They would not normally disguise themselves as guards to carry out an assassination!”
When everyone heard this, the doubts in their hearts became even stronger.
“Before the two of them died, didn’t they still shout out the names of the Empire and Sano? That seems to clearly indicate that they are people who have been sent by the Empire!”
Sifusco said.
Mike considered the dead guards with some suspicion. Then, he thought of something.
Mike extended his hand towards the necks of the two dead guards.
Turning over the armor, Mike found a dark red dot on the necks of the two guards. It did not look like it had been naturally formed.
Both dots on the necks of the two guards were exactly the same.
Moreover, Mike could feel an evil aura emanating from the dot.
Mike seemed to have realized something. He took a deep breath and said, “This matter is not as simple as it seems!
“I’m afraid that a new force is now involved!”
Mike looked at the crowd and said seriously.
“A new force? Could it be someone other than the Empire?”
