Chapter 269 Assassination Operation
The next day, on the afternoon of the 15th, Bolton's bodyguards entered the city on time.
The soldiers of the former army entered through the city gate on high horses. The laurel flag was stained with the blood and sand of the desert, but it still fluttered in the wind, showing the power and dignity of the royal family to the people of Doguland.
The battle damage situation of the Guards Corps was better than that of ordinary regiments. There were relatively few casualties, and the proportion of seriously wounded among the wounded was not high.
This is not because the war intensity experienced by the Guards Corps was not high, but because of the strength of the soldiers.
The soldiers here are basically extraordinary people from the royal family and the five royal families. At worst, they have the strength of the second sequence, and they cannot hurt ordinary people.
We can even see several fifth-order extraordinary beings in the queue. Such people have the strength to defeat a thousand people on the battlefield.
Moreover, although Bolton looks rough and has a strong personality, he is not ambiguous at all in his command of the legion.
During the war, Burton never displayed the courage of an ordinary man, nor did he rely on his own bravery. He ignored his command work and ran into the chaotic army to challenge the enemy's general. He always sat firmly in the rear and strategized.
Only when the battle situation is tense and the two sides are in a stalemate, or when the front line is about to collapse and the lives of the soldiers are in danger, Burton will personally lead the Guards Corps into the battle.
Due to various factors, the attrition rate of the Guards Corps will not be as high as that of ordinary regiments. However, judging from the blood stains on the soldiers who entered the city, they obviously experienced a difficult and fierce battle in the desert, which can also reflect how unsatisfactory the victory of the Blood Sand Battle was.
easy.
Both sides of Leiyun City's main road were already crowded with civilians, cheering and cheering to welcome the Guards Corps into the city.
In order to avoid alerting others, Kino and others agreed not to cancel the welcoming ceremony.
But for the sake of safety, a large number of plainclothes soldiers were mixed into the crowd in case of emergencies.
The Guards Corps advanced in an orderly manner amidst the cheers of the people. As Verbick said, Bolton's position was in the center. He was riding a white horse. His armor reflected the golden luster in the sunlight. He was tall and tall.
The body is just like his father's, causing waves of applause from the crowd.
At this time, Chino, Verbik, and Cole were guarding a high-rise residential building. The view here was very good, but the wind direction changed due to the surrounding terrain, which was a very unfriendly interference for snipers, so Chino
He did not list this place as an assassination point, but used it as his own observation room.
Kino was observing the distance with his eagle vision. When he saw Bolton entering the city, he frowned and his voice became extremely stern: "Are you sure that Prince Bolton's plan has not changed?"
Verbick and Cole said in unison: "Of course."
Kino: "Then why is Solandel riding the same horse as him?!"
Just as Kino said, the white horse that Bolton was riding had, besides himself, a petite figure sitting in front of him. It was none other than Solandel.
Solandel wore a laurel hair ornament and was protected by Bolton's burly arms. Her blue eyes were full of smiles, and she and her brother were waving hello to the people nearby.
Cole saw this scene with a military telescope and immediately frowned: "Your Highness, what is this?"
"I probably know the reason." Verbik rubbed his chin vigorously, thoughtfully, "This should be for the safety of the Ninth Princess. His Highness the Prince is protecting her in his arms. Even if we fail, the aliens will come out.
Even if he shoots that shot, he can also use the golden sun fire to block the bullet, thus protecting himself and the Ninth Princess."
"If the Ninth Princess rides a horse by herself, she will have no room to survive if she is targeted by outsiders."
Verbik put down the telescope and looked very puzzled: "I just don't understand why the ninth princess is with His Highness the Prince? Shouldn't she be in the royal city?"
Kino's heart sank. It was true that he had missed out on Solandelle.
The main battlefield in the desert is several days away from Twilight City. Before Solandel and Lorna set off, Bolton must have made a plan and handed it over to Verbek and Cole to take them out.
The two parties did not meet at all at that time. Solandel did not know that Bolton was facing the threat of assassination, and Bolton did not know that Solandel would come to the desert to find him.
When Bolton met Solandel, arrangements had already been made in Thundercloud City. The desert was far away, and it was too late for Bolton to change the plan temporarily, so he could only act according to the original plan.
This time difference directly resulted in the absence of Solandelle in the plan brought by Bolton, and she became an unexpected variable.
Moreover, there were threats from extraterrestrial visitors along the way, and Bolton did not dare to let Solandel run around. He had to protect her the whole time, which was a helpless move.
Kino asked in a deep voice: "Let me confirm again, can Prince Bolton's Sun Golden Fire block sniper attacks? Can it protect Solandelle?"
Verbik said without hesitation: "It can block sniper attacks. This is what the prince himself said. What's more, he won't risk his sister."
In this case, Kino had nothing to say. He stared at Bolton's direction, and a torrent of numbers surged through his mind.
The shooting data of the 9 sniper points began to be accurately calculated. Various numbers continued to emerge in his mind, combined and disassembled, and finally converged like a function into 9 bullet curves, each of which pointed directly at Bolton.
Kino couldn't take his eyes off and devoted himself to the sniper simulation: "Prince Bolton has appeared in the sight of the alien visitor, and the scope is locking on him."
"Visitors from outside are feeling the wind speed, temperature, and air pressure conditions, and adjusting the scope parameters."
"He is predicting the lead time and calculating the bullet's impact point."
"After calculation, aim at the head with a small probability and the heart with a high probability."
"His hand is already on the trigger."
Kino said quickly: "Now! Roaring Thunder!"
[The reincarnator has completed the side mission: Kill the leader of the "Blood Thorn Society"]
[Punicipal suppression enabled]
[Rejectors fall into a negative weakening state: banned]
[All abilities and equipment exchanged by rejecters in Triple Shackles will be temporarily unavailable]
[Duration: 120 hours]
When the scarlet reminder of the triple shackles appeared in front of his eyes, Kino's pupils expanded violently.
what happened
Isn't the side mission of the Reincarnator to assassinate Bolton?
If Burton was not assassinated, then what is the so-called "assassination" now?
At 0.12 seconds, the processor's instinct drove Chino to evade.
"Boom!" Almost at the same time, the sound of firing with a silencer sounded, but it did not come from the nine sniper points, but from behind Chino.
Because he fell into a "blocked" state, all of Kino's equipment and abilities were blocked, and he couldn't even use his telekinesis power.
What saved his life was the processor's instinct to fight against enemies and his reaction time of 0.12 seconds.
"Pfft." Before being hit, Chino had already completed a certain degree of evasion. The bullet that was supposed to penetrate the heart failed to hit the original target and passed through the shoulder.
Even so, the power of Rune Barret was so great that Kino felt a touch of coldness first appear on the affected area, and then the coldness spread all over his body, and darkness rushed into his sight like a wave, each layer higher than the last.
At the critical moment, the processor potential in Kino's body that had not been mobilized for a long time exploded, and he smashed the window with an elbow. He rolled over the sharp glass fragments and rolled out of the window.
Before falling from the third floor, Chino's eyes swept across the room and saw Verbick and Cole with gloomy faces.
Verbic was holding the Rune Barret in his hand, and smoke was slowly rising from the muzzle.
"Boom!" The second shot came, but Chino had already fallen through the window and the bullet failed to hit him.
Verbik hurriedly rushed forward, raised his gun out of the window, and wanted to kill him, but he only saw a pool of blood on the ground, and Kino's figure had long since disappeared.
"Damn it!" Verbik punched the wall.
