Cyrus was assassinated suddenly, and no one had thought of it before. The time and place of the assassination was not when the city-state held a celebration ceremony. Although there were a lot of people on that occasion, the guards around Cyrus were the most tight, and there was no way to make arrangements in advance. It's not a good chance to kill on moonlit night.
When the celebration was over, Cyrus stayed overnight in the city of Nippur, and the next morning he drove westward to Kish, where general Darius would wait for him. Of course, the governor of Nippur city-state will send off, and a grand ceremony will be held in the city-state. All the local military and political officials will follow the emperor Cyrus out of the city. Outside the city, there are also people who kneel in the streets to raise the power of Cyrus.
The guards had been on guard outside the gate of the city to prevent assassins from mixing with the crowd. The great emperor of Cyrus also had expert guards. Even if there were assassins, it was very unlikely that they could get close to Cyrus even though there were assassins. I'm afraid the suspects would be solved before they got close.
The accident happened suddenly when Cyrus the Great came out of the city. It was the time when everyone was most lax in defense. At that time, the military and political officials of Nippur city-state followed the drivers in the city, and the guards who opened the road for the great emperor of Cyrus had already arrived outside the city, and Cyrus's car passed through the city gate.
It was almost impossible to assassinate, because Cyrus was in the city gate, and there were heavy guards on the tower. There were experts around all over the city, but some people shot an arrow.
The arrow was shot from the city. The archer stood in the crowd watching Cyrus drive out of the city. If Amun saw this arrow, he would not be unfamiliar. It was a huge black arrow engraved with magical patterns. An arrow shot out in a terrifying momentum. With the sound of a mountain and a tsunami, it drew a parabola in the air, crossed the team of officials to see off, and fired into the city gate. The huge arrow flew through the air, with a terrible shock wave, and the ground was tumbling.
The arrow was shot from the back, which was beyond everyone's expectation. According to general experience, if an assassin really wants to assassinate Cyrus, it is reasonable to ambush outside the city. However, the guards around Cyrus were well-trained in battle, and were not flustered by the power of the arrow. Countless swords were cut into the sky, and the magicians also used various magic arts to protect the inner side of the city gate. As like as two peas,
, which has condensed energy, has been hitting several mandling in the air, and has been able to move forward. It is almost the same as that of the Isis. But no matter how powerful the arrow is, it cannot penetrate the protection laid down by the magicians. Unexpectedly, the arrow didn't shoot at Cyrus. At the last moment, it turned upward and hit the wall directly above the gate. There was a loud noise and the whole tower collapsed!
We need to introduce the west gate of Nippur city-state. Under the thick wall is the gate hole. There is a tower above the gate. It looks strong and magnificent, and it is brand-new. When sinnah attacked nipur, the gate was destroyed by a catapult and the tower was burned.
Later, although the city gate was repaired, it was only a simple restoration of defense function. After receiving the news of the arrival of Cyrus the great, local military and political officials urgently recruited civilian workers and craftsmen to repair two magnificent city towers, namely the east gate and the west gate, because they were the places to greet and send off Cyrus the great.
The West Tower was completed just a few days before the arrival of Cyrus the great, and it was built overnight regardless of human and material resources. During the construction, of course, there were city-state guards and magicians to supervise the construction, so as to prevent craftsmen from cutting corners or using other tricks. Even every layer of brick was inspected. No one thought that there would be any problem with this tower.
But there was a trap in the tower, which was set by the moon night, who was proficient in assassination. The moon night and dumuz did not follow queen Semir to the border inspection. They left Assyria ahead of time and came to the territory of Boz Xinxing province. However, the bright moon night somehow mixed into the craftsmen who built the city tower.
Nippur is a city-state recently occupied by Boz, and most of its residents have been migrated by sinach. The Boz occupation army was not familiar with the local people, so they urgently summoned craftsmen to rush to build the tower. They could only do strict body searching and careful inspection of the project. They could not verify the identity of the craftsmen one by one, which gave the bright moon night a chance.
This trap is very hidden. It is similar to the one that enril encountered. When the tower is completed, even the great magician will not find any abnormality when he scans the divinity. If you want to detonate this trap, you need to be very powerful and skillful. If you don't know the inside story, even if you use a catapult to blow down the tower, the trap will not react.
The archer is not Semir, but the moon night who set the trap. When the Black Magic Arrow arced down in the air and shot at the city gate hole, there was a blue light twining on the arrow. It was as if it had been taken away by a huge blue snake. It turned flat and fired at the castle tower. This was the help of dumz.
On the top of the gate, there were two rows of fine stone bricks, which turned into quicksand like fragments at the same time. It was like being cut by a knife, and there were terrible huge cracks. The supporting structure of this kind of building is not afraid of cracks in a few stones, but the sudden sliding displacement of these connected structures.
The reason why the trap set up on the night of the bright moon is hidden is that it does not make all the bricks in the two cracks into pieces. It is only through the energy impact of the huge arrow that two pieces of bricks and stones in the depth of the city wall are staggered. Then, under the huge self weight pressure of the tower, the city gate hole will collapse, and Cyrus happens to pass by, and the calculation is not without subtlety.On the night of the bright moon, an arrow shot out, and then he saw the tower collapse. He didn't even look at it. He jumped up with a roar, turned and ran away. His mission has been completed, and his identity as an assassin has also been exposed. Naturally, he has to escape for thousands of miles. The main guards of Nippur were around the west gate, and he ran East. All the masters were busy escorting him at the moment, and there was no time to chase him. Ordinary guards couldn't stop him.
If you change someone, the moon night will be enough to solve the problem, but how could Cyrus be so easily assassinated? At the moment of the collapse of the tower, the sound of scream and roar became one, countless lights rose, and the space was like being solidified. The carriage that Cyrus was riding suddenly split into pieces. Two Great Magicians held up their sticks, and several great warriors surrounded him, and he had already rushed out of the city.
After them, there was smoke and dust, and the whole tower collapsed and did not bury Cyrus. But the other guards around the great emperor were not so lucky. At least dozens of people had no time to get out of the body. They were smashed into meat paste on the spot. The falling stones also injured many people in the escort team inside and outside the city.
Cyrus was unhurt, but he looked very embarrassed. He abandoned his carriage and rushed out of the city. Only five experts in the gate guarded him out of danger, while the other guards were buried in the collapsed tower.
The scene of chaos, Nippur city at the same time outside the city sounded a scream, someone yelled: "Cyrus dead!" And people close to the gate also fled, even the guards on guard could not be restrained.
The captain of the bodyguard next to Cyrus raised his sword and drank high to suppress all the voices: "the emperor is safe, be careful of the assassin, do not be confused!"
Then a dozen figures flew into the air. The guard of guard and half of the masters of Cyrus had already left the city to open their way in front of them. At this moment, the magicians turned and flew to the tower. The assassin appeared in the city, but the moon night had already escaped, but there was another figure flying high, wearing a black robe, holding a staff, like a goshawk flying in the air, waving and throwing out several scrolls.
Although scroll does not consume the user's own mana, it also requires the user to control its attack range. It is much more difficult to accurately lock the target than to throw it out and bang. It is more difficult to control two scrolls than to control one scroll. The more powerful the scroll, the more so.
But this man even threw six high-level attack scrolls at the same time. The targets were all locked in the guards who had just burst out of the smoke. Almost all of them started at the same time. This assassin is Faust.
Faustus flew into the sky and threw the scroll, which was tantamount to exposing himself and attracting all the attention. He did this without killing himself. When the scroll flies out, he can't escape immediately. He must control the attack direction after the scroll is unfolded, otherwise he can't lock the target. He has to bite his teeth and wave his staff, adding several magic shields to himself.
In the middle of the sky, the arrows on the ground were like rain, and almost all of them hit Faust in the air. Ordinary samurai's arrows into the sky are not dangerous, but the arrows shot by those elite warriors around Cyrus are extremely powerful. There are also various weapons in the arrows, such as axes, flagpoles, shuttle guns, swords, etc. - some of them are not equipped with bows and arrows, but simply cut the weapons in their hands.
All kinds of roars and shock waves of energy burst scattered. Fragments of various weapons whirled around in the air. Smoke, light and flame were everywhere near the ground. There were seven or eight human shadows falling from the air with tragic voices. These magicians are not unable to dodge when the scroll breaks out, but they want to protect Cyrus the great on the ground, and can only block this round of attack.
Faust Zhou's magic shield was almost smashed in an instant, and his black robe turned into pieces, revealing his long white shirt. His mouth spurted blood, and his staff fell, rolled up by the surging force, and flew far away into the city. At this time, a blue light flew out, turned into a terrible Python in the air, wrapped around Faust's body, and shot out towards the north.
Dumz took Faust, who was seriously injured, and left. However, the masters around Cyrus had no time to go after him, because it was at this time that emperor Boz was really assassinated!
The incident happened too quickly and the scene was too chaotic. First, the castle collapsed, and Cyrus abandoned his car and rushed out of the city. In addition to several masters around him, the guards on both sides of the car were killed. The collapse of the tower also cut his guard team into two sections. The people who saw him off were terrified. The people inside the city did not know what was going on outside the city, and the people outside the city did not know the scene in the city.
Faustus fell from the sky and threw the scroll out of the chaos. In an instant, there was a violent explosion. Not to mention that the magician who had just flown into the sky fell down. The warriors close to the gate were also in a state of tumult. The light flashed in front of him, and the hum echoed in his ears.
The bright moon night was an arrow shot in the city. Faustus also flew out of the city, attracting all the attention of the guards outside the city. The guards hurriedly turned and rushed to the direction of the city gate. The magicians also turned and took out their magic wands. They were quick to fly into the air and relaxed their guard against the outside of the city for a moment. Cyrus himself turned and looked at the tower Fang.
Just as Faust was injured and flew out, semil finally shot. The queen, dressed in shabby clothes and patched robes, is very generous, like a slightly sloppy poor woman, mingling with the crowd outside the city. When Cyrus's guard of honor came out of the city, she also knelt down in the crowd.After the great change, the cry of panic broke out. Faust's attack spread far and wide, and people in panic were rolled to the ground. Semile turned a somersault and landed in the position of half kneeling and archery. He was already steadily stretching his bow.
The bow was her usual bow, but the arrow was the tusk arrow that Gilgamesh had used to stab sinah. The white long toothed arrow shot out, mingled with the shock afterwave of various magic energy, flashed away, as if through time and space, appeared light and silent.
But semile's half kneeling movement was so dignified that it seemed that he had turned into a hard stone statue, and his whole strength seemed to have been emptied by the arrow. The guards who were turning and looking back did not stop the arrow, and most guards did not even notice it.
If Semir's arrow would kill Cyrus in ordinary times, it would be very powerful, but it would not be successful. At this moment, it is a good opportunity. The earth shaking attacks inside the city are all for the silent arrow outside the city. The captain of the bodyguard next to Cyrus was suddenly alert and turned to give a fist. His sword had just been cut into the sky.
Another great magician nearest to Cyrus was also aware of the danger. In his impatience, he shook his staff and put on a tough and invisible air element armor. Just listen to a bang, the captain of the guard of Cyrus snorted and flew backward. A long white arrow appeared strangely and hit Cyrus.
The arrow is so fast that the naked eye can hardly see it clearly, but it contains huge energy, which can shock a warrior in a hurry. Under the influence of the air armor, the arrow slowed down, even shining brightly in the air. However, it still passed through the air armor and fell into the back of Cyrus the great. It came out of the front chest and landed lightly. There was not even a trace of blood on the shaft.
Cyrus was shot through his chest. The powerful emperor slowly put out his hand to cover the remnant of his breastplate. He looked at the arrow on the ground with an incredible look, as if he realized what had happened after a while. He wanted to turn to see who the assassin was, but his body had just moved, and his legs were soft, even if he was going to fall.
The guard rushed up to support him, and the light from the divine officer's staff also covered him. A cry of surprise came from his ear, but the voice became more and more distant and ethereal. His eyes were black, and the blood had stained the armor on his chest and back.
There was still a lot of noise in Nippur, but suddenly there was a strange silence outside the city gate. In addition to Cyrus, the several masters around him screamed: "your majesty!" All the guards around were stunned and couldn't believe what they saw.
The soldiers on the outer edge of the guard of honor first saw Semir's movements and immediately rushed to catch the assassin. But at this time, there was a sound of the tide surging in the wilderness, and almost all of us had hallucinations. The earth was surging and undulating into a wave, and the waves rolled over to drown everyone. People waved their arms and screamed in panic, but the voice in their throats could not even be heard.
This is a mirage unfolded by rumor Leo. Several high-level achievers immediately took in their minds and broke the interference of illusions. However, all they saw were the people and soldiers struggling in panic. The archer had disappeared.
The assassination plan planned by the night of the bright moon naturally bears the style of the most outstanding killer on the mainland. All people give the most dangerous blow at the most appropriate time, and then they will leave without any entanglement. At last, the arrow was successful. Semile had only one chance to kill Cyrus. She succeeded!
It can be imagined that the chaos in the area of Nippur city on that day can be imagined. The emperor Cyrus was killed by accident. All kinds of experts immediately began to track down the assassins. At the same time, someone rushed to Kish city state to report to Darius general who was coming to meet him. The Assassin had already escaped without trace.
……
According to the original plan, after the assassination, Semir will sneak back to the Assyrian border, continue to patrol the border forces, and Faust will be ordered to return to Neville to deal with the possible complex situation. No one knew that they had left quietly, and everything seemed to be going on perfectly.
The injured Faust was the fastest on his way back, because the dumz who took him away was amazing. A day after Faust's return, semile was escorted by Julio to the Queen's car. Cyrus is dead, and Boz must be in chaos for a while. The Assyrian Empire has a chance to breathe. But the fate of Assyria depends on whether they can take advantage of this opportunity to regain their power.
Semir sent Faustus back to the imperial capital, and secretly told him not to rush on his way, to be careful not to get worse, and to pay attention to the healing after returning to the imperial capital, but not to expose his serious injury to avoid suspicion.
However, Faust did not listen to the Queen's advice, he returned to Neville almost day and night regardless of the injury. It is not surprising that the sage's action is not surprising, because no one knows that he was injured, and the news of the assassination of Cyrus the great has been spread, and it is reasonable for the queen to send him back to the imperial capital on the way of inspection.

Semir sent Faustus back to the imperial capital, and secretly told him not to rush on his way, to be careful not to get worse, and to pay attention to the healing after returning to the imperial capital, but not to expose his serious injury to avoid suspicion.
However, Faust did not listen to the Queen's advice, he returned to Neville almost day and night regardless of the injury.

Cyrus was assassinated suddenly, and no one had thought of it before. The time and place of the assassination was not when the city-state held a celebration ceremony. Although there were a lot of people on that occasion, the guards around Cyrus were the most tight, and there was no way to make arrangements in advance. It's not a good chance to kill on moonlit night. When the celebration was over, Cyrus stayed overnight in the city of Nippur, and the next morning he drove westward to Kish, where general Darius would wait for him. Of course, the governor of Nippur city-state will send off, and a grand ceremony will be held in the city-state. All the local military and political officials will follow the emperor Cyrus out of the city. Outside the city, there are also people who kneel in the streets to raise the power of Cyrus. The guards had been on guard outside the gate of the city to prevent assassins from mixing with the crowd. The great emperor of Cyrus also had expert guards. Even if there were assassins, it was very unlikely that they could get close to Cyrus even though there were assassins. I'm afraid the suspects would be solved before they got close. The accident happened suddenly when Cyrus the Great came out of the city. It was the time when everyone was most lax in defense. At that time, the military and political officials of Nippur city-state followed the drivers in the city, and the guards who opened the road for the great emperor of Cyrus had already arrived outside the city, and Cyrus's car passed through the city gate. It was almost impossible to assassinate, because Cyrus was in the city gate, and there were heavy guards on the tower. There were experts around all over the city, but some people shot an arrow. The arrow was shot from the city. The archer stood in the crowd watching Cyrus drive out of the city. If Amun saw this arrow, he would not be unfamiliar. It was a huge black arrow engraved with magical patterns. An arrow shot out in a terrifying momentum. With the sound of a mountain and a tsunami, it drew a parabola in the air, crossed the team of officials to see off, and fired into the city gate. The huge arrow flew through the air, with a terrible shock wave, and the ground was tumbling. The arrow was shot from the back, which was beyond everyone's expectation. According to general experience, if an assassin really wants to assassinate Cyrus, it is reasonable to ambush outside the city. However, the guards around Cyrus were well-trained in battle, and were not flustered by the power of the arrow. Countless swords were cut into the sky, and the magicians also used various magic arts to protect the inner side of the city gate. As like as two peas, , which has condensed energy, has been hitting several mandling in the air, and has been able to move forward. It is almost the same as that of the Isis. But no matter how powerful the arrow is, it cannot penetrate the protection laid down by the magicians. Unexpectedly, the arrow didn't shoot at Cyrus. At the last moment, it turned upward and hit the wall directly above the gate. There was a loud noise and the whole tower collapsed! We need to introduce the west gate of Nippur city-state. Under the thick wall is the gate hole. There is a tower above the gate. It looks strong and magnificent, and it is brand-new. When sinnah attacked nipur, the gate was destroyed by a catapult and the tower was burned. Later, although the city gate was repaired, it was only a simple restoration of defense function. After receiving the news of the arrival of Cyrus the great, local military and political officials urgently recruited civilian workers and craftsmen to repair two magnificent city towers, namely the east gate and the west gate, because they were the places to greet and send off Cyrus the great. The West Tower was completed just a few days before the arrival of Cyrus the great, and it was built overnight regardless of human and material resources. During the construction, of course, there were city-state guards and magicians to supervise the construction, so as to prevent craftsmen from cutting corners or using other tricks. Even every layer of brick was inspected. No one thought that there would be any problem with this tower. But there was a trap in the tower, which was set by the moon night, who was proficient in assassination. The moon night and dumuz did not follow queen Semir to the border inspection. They left Assyria ahead of time and came to the territory of Boz Xinxing province. However, the bright moon night somehow mixed into the craftsmen who built the city tower. Nippur is a city-state recently occupied by Boz, and most of its residents have been migrated by sinach. The Boz occupation army was not familiar with the local people, so they urgently summoned craftsmen to rush to build the tower. They could only do strict body searching and careful inspection of the project. They could not verify the identity of the craftsmen one by one, which gave the bright moon night a chance. This trap is very hidden. It is similar to the one that enril encountered. When the tower is completed, even the great magician will not find any abnormality when he scans the divinity. If you want to detonate this trap, you need to be very powerful and skillful. If you don't know the inside story, even if you use a catapult to blow down the tower, the trap will not react. The archer is not Semir, but the moon night who set the trap. When the Black Magic Arrow arced down in the air and shot at the city gate hole, there was a blue light twining on the arrow. It was as if it had been taken away by a huge blue snake. It turned flat and fired at the castle tower. This was the help of dumz. On the top of the gate, there were two rows of fine stone bricks, which turned into quicksand like fragments at the same time. It was like being cut by a knife, and there were terrible huge cracks. The supporting structure of this kind of building is not afraid of cracks in a few stones, but the sudden sliding displacement of these connected structures. The reason why the trap set up on the night of the bright moon is hidden is that it does not make all the bricks in the two cracks into pieces. It is only through the energy impact of the huge arrow that two pieces of bricks and stones in the depth of the city wall are staggered. Then, under the huge self weight pressure of the tower, the city gate hole will collapse, and Cyrus happens to pass by, and the calculation is not without subtlety.On the night of the bright moon, an arrow shot out, and then he saw the tower collapse. He didn't even look at it. He jumped up with a roar, turned and ran away. His mission has been completed, and his identity as an assassin has also been exposed. Naturally, he has to escape for thousands of miles. The main guards of Nippur were around the west gate, and he ran East. All the masters were busy escorting him at the moment, and there was no time to chase him. Ordinary guards couldn't stop him. If you change someone, the moon night will be enough to solve the problem, but how could Cyrus be so easily assassinated? At the moment of the collapse of the tower, the sound of scream and roar became one, countless lights rose, and the space was like being solidified. The carriage that Cyrus was riding suddenly split into pieces. Two Great Magicians held up their sticks, and several great warriors surrounded him, and he had already rushed out of the city. After them, there was smoke and dust, and the whole tower collapsed and did not bury Cyrus. But the other guards around the great emperor were not so lucky. At least dozens of people had no time to get out of the body. They were smashed into meat paste on the spot. The falling stones also injured many people in the escort team inside and outside the city. Cyrus was unhurt, but he looked very embarrassed. He abandoned his carriage and rushed out of the city. Only five experts in the gate guarded him out of danger, while the other guards were buried in the collapsed tower. The scene of chaos, Nippur city at the same time outside the city sounded a scream, someone yelled: "Cyrus dead!" And people close to the gate also fled, even the guards on guard could not be restrained. The captain of the bodyguard next to Cyrus raised his sword and drank high to suppress all the voices: "the emperor is safe, be careful of the assassin, do not be confused!" Then a dozen figures flew into the air. The guard of guard and half of the masters of Cyrus had already left the city to open their way in front of them. At this moment, the magicians turned and flew to the tower. The assassin appeared in the city, but the moon night had already escaped, but there was another figure flying high, wearing a black robe, holding a staff, like a goshawk flying in the air, waving and throwing out several scrolls. Although scroll does not consume the user's own mana, it also requires the user to control its attack range. It is much more difficult to accurately lock the target than to throw it out and bang. It is more difficult to control two scrolls than to control one scroll. The more powerful the scroll, the more so. But this man even threw six high-level attack scrolls at the same time. The targets were all locked in the guards who had just burst out of the smoke. Almost all of them started at the same time. This assassin is Faust. Faustus flew into the sky and threw the scroll, which was tantamount to exposing himself and attracting all the attention. He did this without killing himself. When the scroll flies out, he can't escape immediately. He must control the attack direction after the scroll is unfolded, otherwise he can't lock the target. He has to bite his teeth and wave his staff, adding several magic shields to himself. In the middle of the sky, the arrows on the ground were like rain, and almost all of them hit Faust in the air. Ordinary samurai's arrows into the sky are not dangerous, but the arrows shot by those elite warriors around Cyrus are extremely powerful. There are also various weapons in the arrows, such as axes, flagpoles, shuttle guns, swords, etc. - some of them are not equipped with bows and arrows, but simply cut the weapons in their hands. All kinds of roars and shock waves of energy burst scattered. Fragments of various weapons whirled around in the air. Smoke, light and flame were everywhere near the ground. There were seven or eight human shadows falling from the air with tragic voices. These magicians are not unable to dodge when the scroll breaks out, but they want to protect Cyrus the great on the ground, and can only block this round of attack. Faust Zhou's magic shield was almost smashed in an instant, and his black robe turned into pieces, revealing his long white shirt. His mouth spurted blood, and his staff fell, rolled up by the surging force, and flew far away into the city. At this time, a blue light flew out, turned into a terrible Python in the air, wrapped around Faust's body, and shot out towards the north. Dumz took Faust, who was seriously injured, and left. However, the masters around Cyrus had no time to go after him, because it was at this time that emperor Boz was really assassinated! The incident happened too quickly and the scene was too chaotic. First, the castle collapsed, and Cyrus abandoned his car and rushed out of the city. In addition to several masters around him, the guards on both sides of the car were killed. The collapse of the tower also cut his guard team into two sections. The people who saw him off were terrified. The people inside the city did not know what was going on outside the city, and the people outside the city did not know the scene in the city. Faustus fell from the sky and threw the scroll out of the chaos. In an instant, there was a violent explosion. Not to mention that the magician who had just flown into the sky fell down. The warriors close to the gate were also in a state of tumult. The light flashed in front of him, and the hum echoed in his ears. The bright moon night was an arrow shot in the city. Faustus also flew out of the city, attracting all the attention of the guards outside the city. The guards hurriedly turned and rushed to the direction of the city gate. The magicians also turned and took out their magic wands. They were quick to fly into the air and relaxed their guard against the outside of the city for a moment. Cyrus himself turned and looked at the tower Fang. Just as Faust was injured and flew out, semil finally shot. The queen, dressed in shabby clothes and patched robes, is very generous, like a slightly sloppy poor woman, mingling with the crowd outside the city. When Cyrus's guard of honor came out of the city, she also knelt down in the crowd.After the great change, the cry of panic broke out. Faust's attack spread far and wide, and people in panic were rolled to the ground. Semile turned a somersault and landed in the position of half kneeling and archery. He was already steadily stretching his bow. The bow was her usual bow, but the arrow was the tusk arrow that Gilgamesh had used to stab sinah. The white long toothed arrow shot out, mingled with the shock afterwave of various magic energy, flashed away, as if through time and space, appeared light and silent. But semile's half kneeling movement was so dignified that it seemed that he had turned into a hard stone statue, and his whole strength seemed to have been emptied by the arrow. The guards who were turning and looking back did not stop the arrow, and most guards did not even notice it. If Semir's arrow would kill Cyrus in ordinary times, it would be very powerful, but it would not be successful. At this moment, it is a good opportunity. The earth shaking attacks inside the city are all for the silent arrow outside the city. The captain of the bodyguard next to Cyrus was suddenly alert and turned to give a fist. His sword had just been cut into the sky. Another great magician nearest to Cyrus was also aware of the danger. In his impatience, he shook his staff and put on a tough and invisible air element armor. Just listen to a bang, the captain of the guard of Cyrus snorted and flew backward. A long white arrow appeared strangely and hit Cyrus. The arrow is so fast that the naked eye can hardly see it clearly, but it contains huge energy, which can shock a warrior in a hurry. Under the influence of the air armor, the arrow slowed down, even shining brightly in the air. However, it still passed through the air armor and fell into the back of Cyrus the great. It came out of the front chest and landed lightly. There was not even a trace of blood on the shaft. Cyrus was shot through his chest. The powerful emperor slowly put out his hand to cover the remnant of his breastplate. He looked at the arrow on the ground with an incredible look, as if he realized what had happened after a while. He wanted to turn to see who the assassin was, but his body had just moved, and his legs were soft, even if he was going to fall. The guard rushed up to support him, and the light from the divine officer's staff also covered him. A cry of surprise came from his ear, but the voice became more and more distant and ethereal. His eyes were black, and the blood had stained the armor on his chest and back. There was still a lot of noise in Nippur, but suddenly there was a strange silence outside the city gate. In addition to Cyrus, the several masters around him screamed: "your majesty!" All the guards around were stunned and couldn't believe what they saw. The soldiers on the outer edge of the guard of honor first saw Semir's movements and immediately rushed to catch the assassin. But at this time, there was a sound of the tide surging in the wilderness, and almost all of us had hallucinations. The earth was surging and undulating into a wave, and the waves rolled over to drown everyone. People waved their arms and screamed in panic, but the voice in their throats could not even be heard. This is a mirage unfolded by rumor Leo. Several high-level achievers immediately took in their minds and broke the interference of illusions. However, all they saw were the people and soldiers struggling in panic. The archer had disappeared. The assassination plan planned by the night of the bright moon naturally bears the style of the most outstanding killer on the mainland. All people give the most dangerous blow at the most appropriate time, and then they will leave without any entanglement. At last, the arrow was successful. Semile had only one chance to kill Cyrus. She succeeded! It can be imagined that the chaos in the area of Nippur city on that day can be imagined. The emperor Cyrus was killed by accident. All kinds of experts immediately began to track down the assassins. At the same time, someone rushed to Kish city state to report to Darius general who was coming to meet him. The Assassin had already escaped without trace. According to the original plan, after the assassination, Semir will sneak back to the Assyrian border, continue to patrol the border forces, and Faust will be ordered to return to Neville to deal with the possible complex situation. No one knew that they had left quietly, and everything seemed to be going on perfectly. The injured Faust was the fastest on his way back, because the dumz who took him away was amazing. A day after Faust's return, semile was escorted by Julio to the Queen's car. Cyrus is dead, and Boz must be in chaos for a while. The Assyrian Empire has a chance to breathe. But the fate of Assyria depends on whether they can take advantage of this opportunity to regain their power. Semir sent Faustus back to the imperial capital, and secretly told him not to rush on his way, to be careful not to get worse, and to pay attention to the healing after returning to the imperial capital, but not to expose his serious injury to avoid suspicion. However, Faust did not listen to the Queen's advice, he returned to Neville almost day and night regardless of the injury. It is not surprising that the sage's action is not surprising, because no one knows that he was injured, and the news of the assassination of Cyrus the great has been spread, and it is reasonable for the queen to send him back to the imperial capital on the way of inspection. **to be continued.
