The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 387 Infiltration and Reverse Osmosis

On the busy and noisy street, a man wearing a cloth hat and groom's clothes was walking slowly with a bundle in his arms.

He walked behind the crowd, his sharp eyes always paying attention to the surrounding situation.

Whenever a soldier appeared in his sight, the man would lower his hat, lean against the wall and pray silently like a believer.

The soldier, not noticing anything unusual, looked around and then looked away.

The man who had reduced the threat moved forward again, getting closer to the predetermined position.

There are many people who act like him. They are assassins hired by the nobles. At today's coronation ceremony, they are responsible for creating chaos and putting pressure on the king's guards.

After making a gesture to his companion across the street that the mission was successful, the man came to the corner with the bag.

The bundle was shaken open, and a magic scroll fell out from it.

The scroll contains magic that can cause a fire, and the task requires the man to stuff the scroll into a lamppost on the corner of the street.

The eruption of fire would create chaos at a critical moment, and if one was lucky, it might even kill the king's guards.

Cordons had already been set up on both sides of the road where the king was going to parade, and people were standing outside the cordons, expecting to see the moment when the king's motorcade passed by.

The target of the man's mission was right next to a few passers-by. There was a child lying on the street lamp, looking up at the center of the road.

The man cursed inwardly. The ceremony was still two hours away from starting. If he lay down on the street lamp now, he would be exhausted to death!

The little child naturally couldn't stop the assassin's actions. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the assassin quickly threw out the stone he picked up from the ground.

The child who was hit by the stone fell directly from the street lamp and hit the crowd of people watching the excitement near the street lamp.

A conflict occurred. The person who was hit was furious. He covered the painful area and cursed the troublemaker.

The child was cushioned and not hurt, but he accidentally offended an adult and could only lower his head and receive the scolding.

This conflict attracted most people's attention, and the assassin took this opportunity to quietly come to the side of the street lamp.

The assassin pulled out a dagger from his waist and scratched it hard on the wooden lamppost.

The lamp posts that are often exposed to wind and sun are very fragile. If you poke them with a dagger a few times, large pieces will fall off.

The assassin only needs to create a small space large enough to accommodate the scroll, and then plug the hole with sawdust, and the preliminary preparations are complete.

But just as he was busy digging at the lamppost, someone suddenly came up to him.

"What are you doing~"

The lovely female voice made the male assassin tremble. The other party's voice was like a succubus, which made his heart beat faster.

The assassin tried to calm himself down and turned to look at the woman who had interrupted.

"You...who are you!"

As soon as the assassin turned around, he found that the woman next to him was not an ordinary person.

She was wearing the clerk's robe, and she was the king's servant!

To catch a thief and seize the stolen goods, Lilith saw the dagger in the man's hand and the way he was digging at the street lamp, and she knew he was up to no good.

Lilith activated her magic power, causing the assassin to feel severe pain in his heart.

The assassin then realized that the accelerated heartbeat just now was not because he was attracted by the beauty.

"You are, a vampire!"

"It seems you are not stupid."

Lilith's ability made the assassin unable to move. Two soldiers immediately came up from behind and dragged the assassin to a corner for search.

"Report to the commander! Dangerous items were found on him!"

The soldier handed Lilith a magic scroll. The scroll was very small and easy to hide.

"You guys are doing great, keep watching the streets, you'll all get a reward later!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Lilith learned a lot from Li and Rose. When managing subordinates, it is useless to simply use power to oppress them.

Being clear about rewards and punishments and abiding by the rules is what a good leader should do.

Beep~

There was a sudden whistle overhead. Lilith looked up and saw a hooded girl waving at her.

These are the helpers Lilith borrowed from Xiaoli. With these flexible and sharp helpers, Lilith's pressure in supervising the streets is greatly reduced.

The little assassin on the roof made a gesture to Lilith, who immediately understood and led a team of soldiers to the scene of the accident.

The streets in the city were led by Lilith, a vampire who was good at distinguishing details. On the roads outside the city, the king's generals were guarding key intersections.

"What are you doing? You are not allowed to enter the city today. Everyone must stay outside!"

The royal army stopped a caravan that wanted to enter the city, and the two sides clashed and quarreled fiercely at the city gate.

Seeing them quarreling, a noble dressed in fiber optic clothes came out from the city to stop the fight.

"Generals, this caravan is transporting my family's goods. Please be lenient~"

The nobles wanted to welcome the caravan into the city, and for this purpose they deliberately displayed their family crests.

When the guards at the door saw that the man turned out to be the Marquis, they immediately felt a little uneasy.

Since a marquis personally came to welcome a caravan, the city guards had to give him some face.

But today's situation is special, and the king's safety is the top priority.

"We can't let them in. Block the city gates!"

An aggressive general announced the closure of the city gates, and the heavy gates fell down with a loud bang, shocking everyone present.

If Leon were here, he would know that this general is one of the king's confidants.

"Damn it! Do it! Let's just charge in!"

The Marquis, who had hoped to get away with it, realized his plan had failed the moment the city gate fell.

The city gate was actually taken over by the king's cronies, leaving them with only one option, which was to use force to seize the city gate.

The fighting started right at the city gate.

The noble army below, disguised as a caravan, grabbed weapons from the carts and drove their horses directly to attack the city gate.

The defenders on the city wall shot arrows downwards and roared to convey messages.

"Rebels spotted at North Gate No. 2! Send some troops over for support!"

Not long after the messenger who asked for support ran out, he ran back the same way.

The general immediately felt something was wrong when he saw this.

"Where are the reinforcements? Why did you come back by yourself?"

The messenger was very scared. He had not completed his mission and the consequences would definitely not be good.

"General, several city gates in the north have been attacked by the rebels, and many nobles have rebelled!"

The situation was too sudden and it was useless to blame the messenger. The general cursed inwardly and turned around to join the defense.

"Everyone, stay where you are. We can't let these people disturb His Majesty the King!"

The nobles' army rebelled, and the king's army occupied the advantageous terrain for defense, so the battle was bound to be brutal.

The legions were originally defending the capital, but now they were fighting together.

The people in the city celebrated loudly, while the shouts of killing outside the city shook the sky.

At this time, there were still two hours before the coronation ceremony began.
