The strongest fortresses are often broken from the inside.

Since Elpino arranged the defense of his manor like a brick wall, Xin Sheng simply gave up his plan to break through from the outside.

He has been waiting for the arrival of Cassandra as an opportunity.

Cassandra has a legitimate reason to meet with Elpino, who has been busy recently.

As long as you cooperate with Kassandrali and external cooperation, the guards of the Divine Cult who are attacked from both sides will lose sight of one thing.

“There is only one chance.”

Xin Sheng said solemnly: "Elpino travels around Greece for most of the year."

"We must seize this rare opportunity, control him in one fell swoop, pry out the information about the God Church as much as possible from him, and reduce the danger of my next plan."

“Next plan?”

Kassandra does have a high concentration of pioneer blood, but she does not seem to inherit the sixth sense of Yishuren - knowledge.

...or because of her natural personality, Cassandra is unwilling to use her brain more often and is more used to using her fists to solve everything.

Xin Sheng did not explain too much, and the subsequent plans need to be fine-tuned based on the results of this action against Elpino.

Elpino's final outcome will be different, and the direction of the subsequent plan formulated by Xin Sheng will also change.

"Let's talk about the details until the end of this operation, and focus on the present moment first."

...

November 431 BC.

The Peloponnese Alliance led by Sparta defeated the Tilro League that occupied Megalis before the arrival of winter and further marched into the Attica area where the city of Athens is located.

The Order God Cult hiding in the dark will also hold a large gathering at the time of the end of the year.

The meeting place was located at the headquarters of the Order God Cult, the secret altar underground in the city of Delphi.

In order to participate in this rally, members of the Order Gods from all over Greece rushed to Delphi City one after another.

Elpino, a businessman of the Gods, also ended his busy year early, and stayed in the manor for a rare leisurely life, waiting for the arrival of the New Year's Assembly Day.

By the way, he was also waiting for a certain "demigod" to complete the mission of killing his father, and came to find himself to receive a bounty.

Elpino is very well-informed. He had long heard that the Spartan Blood Wolf suddenly disappeared after the end of the Megalis War, and there has been no news yet.

In Elpino's view, Nicolaos was not missing, but was quietly assassinated.

Spartan did not find his body, so he was helpless to define Nicolaos' state by disappearance.

After taking a pleasant sip of wine, Elpino was thinking about some conspiracy in his mind.

"Owner."

A fully armed guard of the divine religion stepped in from outside the house, interrupting Elpino's dream.

Elpino frowned in displeasure: "I said that there is no important thing, don't bother me?"

Elpino's character was moody, but the guards of the divine religion who were responsible for protecting him had long been used to his temper.

"Yes, please forgive me, my master, there are indeed important things that need to be reported to you."

Slavery was prevalent in ancient Greece. Even ancient Greece, which was boasted about laying the foundation for democracy, also adopted slave democracy, and landlords and nobles would keep their own private slaves.

Elpino's divine guards were nominally slaves he raised, and the slaves were all the property of their masters and were not protected by the law.

Once the slave makes the owner unhappy, it is common to beat and scold him at will, and no one can reason even if he is beaten to death.

Elpino put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the Godly guard who bowed his head and reported it coldly.

"Let's forgive you for being innocent for now, let's talk."

"yes."

The God Guard briefly reported: "The mercenary you are following is here."

"oh?"

Elpino took back his previous displeasure and laziness, sat upright and looked at the open door of the manor, with a faint smile on his face.

"Very good, please invite her in. You guys watch outside and prepare for the encirclement."

"yes!"

With Elpino's permission, Cassandra, holding a golden armored helmet in her hand, walked into the manor gate with her head raised, as if she had no idea of ​​the scrutiny of the Gods guards.

"Ah~ Mercenary, you're back."

Elpino changed his cold expression in front of his subordinates, and stood up with a smile to express his welcome to Cassandra.

"Dong!"

Cassandra's true performance, angrily smashed Nicolaos' golden helmet on the table in front of Elpino.

The loud noise made the guards of the divine clan in the manor subconsciously reach their hands on the weapon and prepare for attack at any time.

Elpino waved his hand and signaled the others not to rush to do it first.

Kassandra pointed at Elpino angrily and shouted: "Maraka! Why didn't he tell the identity of the Blood Wolf clearly when posting the mission? That guy is my father!"

Elpino jokingly spread his hands: "You didn't ask me, the Hawk Trainer."

"so?"

It seemed that he could see that Cassandra was just trying to make a crime and had no intention of taking action immediately. Elpino asked fearlessly: "How is it like to get avenge for a great revenge?"

"Nothing!"

Kassandra snorted coldly: "Task is a task, there is nothing to say, where is my reward?"

"Given that you deliberately conceal the target information, the amount of remuneration will be increased by 20%!"

Drakma was just a number to the big businessman Elpino. He put a large bag of coins he had prepared on the table with no concern.

"No problem, accept it, it's what you deserve."

"And these..."

Elpino threw out a small bag of coins: "It's the extra reward you asked for. After all, not every mercenary can kill his adoptive father for the employer's mission."

"Tsk~ the heartless poisonous snake."

Kassandra cursed and put away her purse: "How do you know that Nicolaos is my adoptive father?"

"Oh ~ Kassandra, of course I know, I know more secrets."

Elpino bypassed Cassandra and walked towards the manor courtyard: "Come here, let's talk about the mission in detail."

...

The space inside the house is too small, and once Cassandra suddenly attacks, Elpino has no confidence in surviving from a battle-hardened mercenary.

When Elpino brought Cassandra to the empty courtyard, Xin Sheng and Natiya hid next to Elpino's manor, on the roof of another manor of the local landlord.

Not all estate owners are as insecure as Elpino.

Xin Sheng and Natiya did not take much effort to sneak into the manor, and they easily knocked out all the owners and slaves in the manor.

Seeing Elpino coming out to the courtyard, Xin Sheng was about to start acting.

"Elpino is ready to start. Once the negotiations break down, the surrounding God's guards will attack Kassandra."

"Natya, it's time for you to stay here to set up some things and test your archery progress."

A hint of reluctance flashed across Natiya's face: "What about you?"

Xin Shengyang Yangyang had all kinds of weird props in his hand: "I'll prepare some surprises for Elpino and his bodyguards to make sure that the guy can't escape the scope of the manor."

"...Okay, I'll be patient until you set up the trap."

Watching Xin Sheng leaning against the manor next door, Natiya's lips curled up.

"Yes, just wait until you finish setting up the trap."
Chapter completed!
