Black Iron Crown

Malda found them, but she didn't take any action immediately. Instead, she gave a warning to her two subordinates, telling them not to act rashly.

In such a late night, it is very suspicious to appear outside the room of Prince Repeusin in the clothes of a servant.

It was already early morning, and the servants in the middle of the night had no work for them to do. In the entire Tesca palace, only the palace guards who were in charge of patrolling security would still move in the middle of the night.

At this time, the two servants were passing by Prince Liepeusun's room as if nothing had happened, and they were observing Prince Liepeusun's guard.

At the door of Prince Liepei Wuxun's room, there are two heavily armed prairie soldiers. They are all wearing fish-scale iron armor with strong prairie attributes. They are the elite of the prairie!

A poisonous snake was found on Prince Liepeuxun's bed, and poison was found in the wine glass, so Prince Liepeuxun raised his vigilance, and at the same time, the entire Tesca Palace became chaotic.

As for Prince Lie Peiwu Xun, he naturally arranged many backups for his own safety.

As for the little emperor's proposal to send him some more guards, he rejected it. After finding out that someone was trying to harm him, the Tesca Palace was also full of gossip.

Most people connected this incident with the previous rumors that the little emperor wanted to conquer the grassland, even Prince Liepei Wuxun did the same. Trust the little emperor.

Two servants passed by here, they looked at each other and then left.

The two prairie warriors guarding the gate didn't take their arrival seriously. Although most of the servants had gone to sleep, who could guarantee that there would be no emergencies in such a large palace?

The room of Prince Liepeuxun was located in a "back" shaped corridor, and Martha led two subordinates to hide in the corner on the left. They watched the two leave, and Martha dispelled the doubts in his heart.

"Could it be that I am overthinking?" Martha thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time winked with the two subordinates beside him.

However, just when Martha was about to take his subordinates to kill the two guards at the door, two sounds of bow strings being tensed suddenly sounded, causing a slight tremor in the air.

Martha reacted in an instant, and hurriedly took out a small mirror and aimed it at the door of Prince Repeusun's room.

Through the mirror, Malda could clearly see that the throats of the two grassland warriors were each pierced with a crossbow bolt. Although they were all wearing iron armor, it was impossible for every part of them to be covered with steel.

Their necks, armpits, and these parts are all dead spots for armor defense, and they are not easy to be attacked during combat.

Only the Northern Grand Duchy of Leiner, as a place rich in steel, would equip soldiers with such excellent armor.

There are indeed some iron mines on the grassland, but they are flawed in mining and smelting techniques.

They are not like the nomads living on the Mongolian plateau, who own part of the nomadic land, a large number of slaves, and excellent steel smelting technology.

In the original world of Lena, the nomads in the north have been ahead of the Central Plains Dynasty in steel smelting technology for a long time.

This is possible because of maintaining exchanges with Central Asia and West Asia.

Compared with the nomads living on this grassland now, they really want to be barbarians.

They don't understand nomadic farming, the source of slaves is seriously insufficient, the technology of iron and steel smelting is low, and productivity is even more difficult to see.

Compared with the nomads on the Mongolian plateau and the fishermen and hunters between the white mountains and the black waters, they are really just a group of barbarians.

The empire's defeat of them and continued mopping up did not represent the confrontation between two civilizations like the Central Plains dynasty. The peoples on the grasslands were not worthy of being the old enemies of the empire under the great unification.

At the beginning, Emperor Kafete continued to fight against the grassland, just to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers would not decline.

The death of the two guards did not attract the attention of Prince Liepeuxun in the room. Although the sound of the bowstring being tensed was not small, it was obvious that the solid wood door had a good sound insulation effect.

The two prairie warriors fell to the ground, bleeding all over the ground. They struggled weakly for a while, and began to twitch instinctively. Their mouths opened and closed as if they wanted to warn Prince Liepewuxun in the room, or they struggled subconsciously. .

However, because their throats were pierced by crossbow bolts, they couldn't give any warning at all, they could only let the air circulate freely in their throats that were almost broken, making a "ho ho" sound.

With the faint light of the fire in the corridor, Maerda saw the movements of the two servants through the slightly blurred mirror.

As a confidant spy in the northern border, his professionalism is extremely high. The equipment he washes is usually carried with him and placed in a relatively hidden place for easy access at any time.

According to Malda's speculation, the two "servants" were wearing a pair of soft-soled shoes, because they didn't even make a sound when they walked. Obviously, they were also the elite of spies.

Naturally, Malda could do it without making a sound when he walked, but he was wearing a pair of ordinary guard boots, so it was inevitable that he would make some noise when he walked.

Martha and his subordinates were even holding their breath, trying not to let the two "servants" find themselves.

The two "servants" were slowly approaching the door of Prince Repewuxun's room at this time. They did not communicate with each other, and seemed to be able to understand each other's intentions only with their eyes.

"Whose people are they? Who wants to kill Prince Liepeuxun?" Seeing the other party's sneaky movements, Marda didn't intend to go out immediately, but thought carefully in his heart.

As for the task, these two people will naturally have to do it. According to Malda's observation, the assassination level of these two people is not inferior to his own. If even they can't succeed, then he can't successfully assassinate Prince Lie Peiwu Xun.

What he really wants to know now is who instructed these two servants, so that they can send the news to His Majesty the Grand Duke so that he can make a decision.

One of the "servants" took out a dagger about 30 centimeters long, and gently inserted it into the gap between the door and the door frame. They were testing whether the door had been bolted.

Soon, they tested it out: the door was not bolted.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw vigilance in each other's eyes. They nodded, clenched the dagger in their hands, and at the same time held the hand crossbow that had just been reloaded from their waists.

The two tiptoed to open the door, and then walked in gently.

Seeing this, Martha became tense, and immediately led her subordinates to follow them lightly.
