125 The Rise of the Brotherhood - 2
After the assassination occurred in Shangcheng District, the government city immediately entered a state of martial law.
A large number of soldiers and doll guards flocked out, blocking the entire upper city area and forbidding anyone to enter and exit. The number of guards in the middle city area immediately increased a lot.
Although the official blockade of the news, the news that was circulating from somewhere still reached the ears of citizens and spread rapidly in the city:
The mysterious assassin assassinated ten noble officials living in the upper city.
And these ten people are all "outlaws" that the people hate to the core but helpless.
——The Interior Minister, who has imposed heavy taxes on merchants and farmers in the government city, but has made a fortune. He sets criminal indicators every month, and when the indicators are not completed, he will arrest innocent people and behead them for public display. He relies on the fact that he is an officer and even two deputy generals who have started killing in the street...
These guys who were cut into pieces by the masses countless times in fantasy have finally come to an end.
The mysterious assassin who executed them came from a mysterious organization called the "Brothers"...
As the rumors spread rapidly, this mysterious organization that had been hiding in the dark finally surfaced - of course, people's understanding of this organization is limited to the name.
They wouldn't know that the assassin, who was almost deified, was staying in the dark basement, leaning lazily on the wooden bed. Just looking at the appearance and the legendary mysterious assassin, it was simply impossible to fight.
The doll girl in a light green skirt walked up, touched her short hair with her ears, and whispered: "The information has been released as you mean."
"Well, that's fine." Lin Chi nodded.
This fast and efficient assassination not only killed some targets that had a high degree of threat after the war, but also plundered a large amount of money from the other party's home. As the intelligence merchant took the initiative to release the news about the assassination, the name Brotherhood, in the minds of the residents of the Municipal Government, suddenly became a nearly mythical incarnation of justice.
Lin Chi was still very satisfied with this kind of action of killing three birds with one stone. After all, the information currently leaked by the Brotherhood is only the name of the organization, so there is no need to worry that the guards of the Municipality will find him. And when he really initiated the revolution, the masses will accept the Brotherhood much higher than before. After all...
"Do you think I am a 'punishing evil and promoting good, and practicing the way for heaven'?" Lin Chi smiled proudly.
The doll girl hadn't spoken yet, but she heard Shen Wen, who had just returned to the workshop, complaining: "You are just silenced during the robbery..."
"Don't worry." Lin Chi was not interested in arguing about this issue at all, but took out a handful of money from his backpack and handed it to Shen Wenchong: "These money should be enough to buy weapons for the people of the Qin Dynasty, right?"
During this assassination, he obtained nearly one million gold coins. He once again transformed from a poor man who was almost spent on money to a millionaire.
Although the guards around the home of the assassination target were also very tight, for Lin Chi, who had successfully sneaked into the Heavenly Prison, it was a piece of cake to break through the defense and collect people.
Lin Chi knew very well that after this assassination, the number of troops in Shangcheng District would increase again, and it was impossible for him to sneak in again. However...
There is no need to continue to sneak in. The next time I go in, I should lead the soldiers of the Brotherhood to attack the luxurious "garden"!
After entrusting Shen Wen to rush to buy weapons, Lin Chi was about to hire a few more elite mercenaries, but he saw Commander Mu, who had been sitting silently in the corner of the room, stood up and walked in front of him:
"I have decided." The small officer's voice was very firm, and he looked at Lin Chi without blinking.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Chi was asking a question, but he already understood how the other party would answer.
"I want to join the Brotherhood." Commander Mu said as he suddenly raised his right hand and gave Lin Chi a standard military salute: "You have done what I have always wanted to do, but I don't have the courage to do."
——This officer, who spent most of his time in the Upper City, even served as the personal guard of the Home Secretary who was assassinated this time. Of course, he had long seen the darkness in this city.
Although he was very despised by those guys, as a soldier, he could not disobey the general's orders. He could only silently watch the Interior Minister doing evil and suppress the anger that rose in his heart.
But this time, the wish he had been hiding in his heart was realized by the seemingly unreliable young man in front of him.
It is precisely because of this that Commander Mu made up his mind to become a member of the Brotherhood!
After learning about the officer's thoughts, Lin Chi immediately patted the other party's shoulders with a familiarity and said with a smile:
“Welcome to the fraternity, friends.”
...
After successfully bringing this righteous officer under his command, Lin Chi left the underground workshop and came to the secret mercenary club of the mercenaries. He hired ten elite mercenaries again, and bought them white robes and leather armor to satisfy his "nostalgic interest".
The white-robed assassin in the Brotherhood increased from the original four to fourteen. The elusive elite mercenaries who had just been hired quickly accepted the new roles designed by their employer for themselves and transformed into assassins hidden in the shadows.
The demon-slaying armor and light crossbow they equipped were originally suitable for assassination. Their elusive characteristics increased the success rate of assassination a little. With these white-robed assassins secretly protecting, Lin Chi was more confident when he walked on the street than before.
After disbanding his assassin, he slowly moved along the streets of Zhongcheng District and began to observe the situation in the city of the government.
After the assassination, the number of black-robed guards in Zhongcheng District also increased a lot, but these dolls of the organs obviously did not come to protect the people, but stopped people who seemed suspicious to them and forced inspections.
In addition to these black robe dolls, there were also some large-scale mechanical dolls wearing gray long clothes. They were three meters tall and thin limbs looked like spider legs.
"Is this a military killing doll?"
Seeing those large "monsters" with terrifying appearances, Lin Chi immediately realized that in order to capture the suspicious assassins, the army of the Municipality had sent more powerful agency dolls to deploy them on the streets of the Central City.
Realizing that these dolls had stronger combat power than guards, Lin Chi subconsciously avoided the war machines blocking the sidewalk and turned around and walked into the dark alley on his right.
But before he could take two steps, he heard heavy footsteps coming from the street behind him.
"Um?"
Lin Chi just turned around and when he saw the black iron giant passing by the street, he immediately hid sideways behind the trash can beside him:
"It's trouble now." He complained in a low voice.
——The puppet general Huo Qubing, who had fought with him once, actually came to this street.
