Chapter 345 Assassination Plan
The room instantly fell silent.
Infiltrating Southwild City, guarded by three million troops, to assassinate the generals of twenty-eight nations?
This was definitely the most challenging assassination mission they had encountered since becoming assassins.
No one spoke for a moment.
Lyra glanced at everyone, then stepped forward and said, "Larry, I'll go with you."
Lyra grew up in the Shadow Syndicate, trained as an assassin by them. She had always lived a very tough life. It wasn't until she followed Larry that she understood what real life was. Larry gave her a new life, so now that Larry had a mission, she felt it was her duty to join him.
Larry looked at the others and asked, "What about you?"
Everyone hesitated.
Although they had followed Larry, this mission was very dangerous. Once they joined, the chances of coming back alive were slim. They didn't want to lose their lives in vain.
"Larry, I'll go with you."
Phantomface was the first to step forward. She was once ranked tenth on the assassin leaderboard. After following Larry, Free arranged a proper identity for her. Free was too lazy to come up with names, so he named the assassins according to their previous rankings.
"I'll go too," said Viper, who was ranked ninth.
He stepped forward and said, "As someone from the Summer Nation, I've killed many of my own people but have never done anything for my country. If this mission fails, I hope Larry can bury me in the national cemetery. I want my family to be proud of me."
Shadowblade, ranked fifth, laughed and said, "In that case, I'll go too."
Fire Phoenix, ranked third, glanced at everyone and said, "Count me in."
Following that, Bloodstorm, ranked fourth, and Snow Wolf, ranked seventh, also expressed their willingness to join.
Larry looked at the assassins in front of him and solemnly promised, "Although going to Southwild is very dangerous, if I take you there, I will bring you back safely. My plan is for you to stay hidden and support me from the shadows. If things go wrong, you should leave immediately."
Larry began to explain his plan.
He would be the one to carry out the assassination. Bringing these assassins was just a precaution. They would support him from the shadows.
They spent the afternoon discussing and came up with a detailed plan. However, the most difficult part now was how to infiltrate Southwild.
Southwild was currently guarded by three million troops and had been sealed off. Ordinary people couldn't enter at all.
Larry had thought of a way, though it was risky, but not impossible.
After the discussion, they set out.
They drove several off-road vehicles towards Southwild.
Meanwhile, in Southwild.
Military District.
Under a large tree, a middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth was on the phone.
He wore a large black trench coat and a hat, obscuring his face.
He was Kairo.
Alistair's trusted subordinate and the strongest under Alistair's command.
"Larry has already learned that this was your plan. He will definitely try to assassinate the generals of the twenty-eight nations to resolve this battle. Be careful. Once he enters Southwild, don't let him leave alive."
"Understood, I guarantee the mission will be completed," Kairo said confidently.
The voice on the phone reminded him, "Don't underestimate him. Recently, in Sunset City, he recruited many top-tier assassins, all of whom are as strong as you."
Kairo confidently replied, "Don't worry, Alistair. Southwild is guarded by three million troops. If Black Dragon dares to come, I guarantee he won't leave."
"This time, failure is not an option. If you fail, you're as good as dead."
The call ended.
Kairo stood up, threw away his cigarette butt, stomped on it, and then left for the conference room.
The conference room was filled with generals from the twenty-eight nations.
As Kairo entered, the generals stood up.
Kairo gestured for them to sit.
The generals sat down.
Kairo took a seat and scanned the room. "Alistair has sent word that the tour bus incident has been discovered. Black Dragon knows everything."
"What?" Everyone's expressions changed.
Gideon said coldly, "You assured us this plan was flawless. If this gets out, the Republic of Saelstan will no longer tolerate me."
Kairo gestured for calm and said, "Don't worry. Only Black Dragon knows for now. Alistair said Black Dragon will definitely infiltrate Southwild to assassinate you. If he succeeds, the twenty-eight nations will retreat. Let's plan how to lure Black Dragon into Southwild and set a trap to kill him."
"If he dares to come, he won't leave alive."
"Last time in Cedar Grove, he narrowly escaped."
"This time, he won't be so lucky."
"I don't believe he can fight against three million troops from twenty-eight nations."
Many generals spoke up.
Several of them had encountered Larry before in Cedar Grove.
They had long-standing grudges against Larry.
Kairo and the generals from the twenty-eight nations discussed how to lure Larry into Southwild.
Meanwhile, Larry and his recruited subordinates were approaching Southwild.
Before they got close, they encountered a patrol team.
Larry didn't dare to advance recklessly. He looked at the others and asked, "You have experience in this. Southwild is now sealed off. Once we get close, we'll encounter patrols from the twenty-eight-nation' coalition. How can we approach Southwild without being noticed?"
Everyone frowned.
Although they often engaged in illegal infiltration of other countries, they were now facing Southwild, guarded by three million troops. Approaching unnoticed was difficult.
Lyra said, "Larry, I think your plan is perfect. The only way to get in now is to disguise ourselves as the coalition troops of the twenty-eight nations."
Larry thought for a moment and said, "In that case, we'll split up and infiltrate. Once inside, we'll regroup and approach the military district as quickly as possible."
According to the plan, once they got close to Southwild, they would split up and find ways to infiltrate the patrol teams.
Gathering together would attract too much attention and risk getting caught in one sweep.
By splitting up, even if some were discovered, not all would be. Some would definitely get in.
Larry reminded them, "Be careful. The primary goal is to stay alive, understood?"
"Understood." Everyone responded in unison.
"Let's move out." Larry parked the car in a hidden spot.
Everyone got out and dispersed into the dense forest, slowly approaching Southwild, looking for opportunities to infiltrate the patrol teams.
Once they became part of the patrol team, they would have a chance to enter Southwild.
Larry believed in them. He was confident they could get in.
