Chapter 651: Rise! Assassins!

“Maybe everyone in the world thinks that the Underground Council is the most elite assassin group in the whole world,” Luther sneered while lounging on a wide luxurious chair. It was a piece of cake for them to deal with a group of assassins whom were even looked down upon by ordinary people. “They will never know why their assassination attempts are just jokes to us.”

Luther glanced at the knight captain beside him and asked, “Do you want to know why?”

The knight captain said with a bow, “I don’t think I deserve to know…”

“It doesn’t matter if you know. In fact, the most ancient assassin group belongs to our godly palace,” Luther said proudly, “This is the most secretive team in our godly palace. Now that these assassins angered St. Dulan and St. Heinz, the lowly ants of the Underground Council will see what true assassins look like!”

“What Assassin Pioneer – Altair? What Eagle of Florence – Ezio?” Luther said, “They are all fledgling juniors before our assassins!”

“I think we’ll have a good show to watch!” The knight captain said with a laughter.

…

In a small, insignificant inn in Canglan City, some figures whispered about something as if they were hiding in the shadows.

“Oh! It’s truly a great story! I can feel it even though I only watched a part of it.”

“Watch it while you can. After all, people like us never know which comes first, tomorrow’s sun or our deaths. Don’t think too much of it.”

“If I can come back alive, I must try that sword control technique.”

“Haha! Maybe.” Harrison carefully packed his stuff, including the newly-made throwing knife and hidden blade. With a turn of his wrist, he shot out a chilly light into the dark night. “If I die in that damn place, remember to tell me the ending of the story by burning a paper copy of it at my tomb, Buddy.”

“I’d like that too!” another assassin said with a chuckle.

In her room, Elina swiftly changed into black assassin’s clothes which were made after the style of the Brotherhood uniform. After putting on the black robe, body-fitting pants, and leggings, she lightly pulled up her hood, revealing only the lower half of her exquisite face.

This was a battle that only belonged to assassins. It was hidden in the darkest shadows of the world, with few people knowing its existence.

It was a shadow under the sunshine.

The night in Canglan City was always quiet. Elegant aristocrats didn’t have the habit of going out during the night. As for the civilians, they thought that the quiet night was the best time for cultivation, and they didn’t want to waste it.

On White Pigeon Square, even the pigeons had left and gone home. The quiet square seemed to be telling a story of its prosperity, and it reminded the assassins of the cheers and exclamations that they had heard during the busy hours.

Harrison entered the pitch-black back alley again. It seemed like the shadows of two assassins remained here, and they were hopeful toward the future.

Standing in the back alley all by himself, Harrison brought his hands together before his chest and prayed silently, “Oh! Brother! I know this is a trap set up by those people, but I just can’t stop myself from going into it.”

“Do you know that I’ve finally understood the true meaning of being an assassin. If you want, I’ll tell you all about it…” He murmured, “I don’t know if you’re still alive. If you are, please hold on and wait for me…”

At this moment, the square became the assassins’ world.

One after another, assassins wearing white or black robes with pointy hoods came and gathered here.

Harrison also walked out of the alley and came to the square.

“Brothers!”

“Sisters!”

Elina glanced around the crowd, knowing that she must unite these assassins together for the upcoming battle.

“Fight together with me! Let them see what they get for messing with assassins!”

“Nothing is true; everything is permitted.” Harrison walked toward the crowd. In many people’s eyes, he was an elite assassin, but he was not confident due to his lowly background and poor talent. However, when he walked among his peers, he felt different. “Everyone is equal before the hidden blades!”

“It’s time! If we work together, we’re the Brotherhood!”

“Maybe we will create a miracle, something impossible that will go down in history!”

“Victory belongs to the Brotherhood!”

“Victory belongs to the Brotherhood!”

Vows echoed on the quiet White Pigeon Square.

“All members of the Brotherhood, get ready and attack!”

A clear eagle shriek resonated in the sky in the dawn, declaring the beginning of the battle.

“Mom, what’s that?” Woken up by something, Joseph rubbed his eyes and opened the window. Then he shouted in astonishment, “Eagles! So many eagles! They are flying to Grey Eagle City!”

…

“You know what to do, right?” A beam of sunlight appeared in the eastern sky.

At this moment, Luther was having morning tea in his courtyard.

“Mr. Luther.” An old man wearing a priest’s robe said respectfully, “We’ve bribed the Castellan of Grey Eagle. That man is only a despicable person who craves for riches. Today, this city will activate the highest-level anti-air magic array, under which even mages’ spell for increasing their leaping abilities, Nimble Spirit of Cat, will be turned ineffective. They can only enter through the main gate which is heavily guarded.”

Dressed in a luxurious robe, Luther looked as if he was going to host a great ceremony at this moment. “The magic traps are set up?”

“Yes sir. We set up the highest-level magic traps that even the mages’ spell, Spiritual Detection, can’t discover.”

“We even set up the anti-mage array,” the red-robed senior priest said, “After its activation, the assassins can’t use stealth spells anymore!”

“The most important thing is that all the warriors and mages will find their strength suppressed to the lowest point. Only godly spells can be perfectly used in this place.”

“The moment they show their faces, they will die!”

…

Meanwhile, several assassins in white cloaks were standing on the high walls to the east of Grey Eagle City with the golden morning sunlight shining on their backs.

They looked down on the many houses that had white walls and red tiles and the bustling crowds.

Many soldiers and godly palace knights were patrolling the streets.

The whole city was engulfed in a mysterious great magic power.

Harrison felt that he couldn’t activate any qi or essence, which was the same as he had felt in the last assassination attempt.

However, he didn’t panic this time at all.

Nothing is true; everything is permitted.

These words resonated in his mind.

“We must understand that we’re executioners of our behaviors, and we must bear the consequences regardless if they are glorious or tragedies.”

The words that he had once heard came back to him with clarity.

“These are the tenets left by our ancestors, and they are still valid.”

“First, stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent.

“Second, hide in plain sight.”

“Third, never compromise the Brotherhood.”

“Take these as your creed. Follow them and surpass them. If you break them, you must bear the consequences.”

“Rise! Assassins!”

At this moment, no fear, hesitation, or confusion could be seen in these assassins’ eyes.

They looked firm and determined. They were assassins and proud of that!
