Neither cat nor mouse can bite off a man''s head. So what Charlene said is not really cat and mouse. In the street language, cat and mouse fighting refers to the confluence of forces. There is no king or Lord in the bustling city. Naturally, there is no army to control public order. Here, the relationship between people is very fragile, but because of this vulnerability, no one dare to break it easily. Unless there are enough people standing with you, because there are so many people, you don''t have to do many things by yourself, and you don''t have to pay for many costs. In case something you want to do fails, it''s a group rather than a specific individual who will be retaliated.
Therefore, just as tiefelt Avenue is a gathering area for dwarves, the city is actually full of various groups. When there are contradictions between them, especially those that are difficult to reconcile, the most primitive and effective means of solving them will be found out again. Fortunately, people who have lived in this city for a long time understand its rules. They must respect those who are outside the contradiction. Therefore, the fire between forces also has their rules. They should consider the time, place and scope of the impact, and warn the residents involved. And the residents of the city are used to it.
The frequent conflagration has also promoted the vigorous development of another industry in the capital, namely, mercenary. After all, not every faction will cultivate its own professional armed forces, which costs too much and the effect may not be good enough. On the contrary, mercenaries who take money are the absolute main force in the conflagration. They bring their own equipment and are trained, and they will not become a long-term burden. Based on this, the struggle between forces is actually more of a property struggle. Which party pays more money to hire more and stronger mercenaries can occupy an advantage in the conflagration, and then defeat or force its opponents to give in.
However, when both sides of the battle are mercenaries, the so-called fire is actually a little changed. After all, they are usually colleagues waiting for business together. They are employed on both sides and have to face each other with swords on the street. Therefore, in such a battle, most of the mercenaries cut down their opponents symbolically, and then discuss with each other how much money it will cost to spare their lives with the conventional secret language or gesture. In fact, there won''t be many casualties in the fire. At most, the price is not negotiated, and he has been cut into a cripple by revenge, or he is really unlucky to meet a ruthless enemy.
Therefore, some forces will employ mercenaries at the same time, and send several war supervisors to record the battlefield situation, so as to prevent the mercenaries of both sides from conspiring to defraud the Commission. Then, if we deliberately kill the enemy''s warlord in the conflagration, and then lead to the conflict between the other party''s mercenary and his employer, so as to win the victory? It''s not conclusive, but it''s worth trying.
"Er..." Dagger, slit throat from behind. The eyes under the hood showed his impatience for a moment, but he still dragged the unfortunate man covering his throat into the corner and threw it away from the bloodstain on the blade.
This is the third one. The assassin looked at the other side''s eyes, lost his look, turned around and climbed up the wall of the building. His skill is very good, which may be due to the fact that the exposed hands and feet exhibit structures different from human limbs, which are more similar to rodent claws than the palms of human hands and feet. The assassin with rodent body characteristics disappeared completely from the view of the fire fighters in a few swings. He quietly climbed to the roof of the nearby higher building and watched the position of the crowd. The dim sky seemed to have no effect on him.
The location of the next target is not difficult to find, and it is not difficult to find someone less similar in a group of mercenaries. But maybe it''s related to the previous success. The target is being protected by three or four armed mercenaries. The latter obviously doesn''t want to get a reward for his record. He is watching around with vigilance. Unfortunately, for him, the protection of just a few people is not out of the question. Gently in the back of the waist touched a confirmation of the number of throwing knives, he has a plan of action. He has become more and more skilled in doing this. When he first came to this city, he would be forced into a desperate situation by two people.
"Bang!" The slight sound is not noticeable in the wind on the river. But he heard, not only heard, his body had reacted before his consciousness, rolling forward from the high platform to the ridge in front of him, where he had stood with a crossbow arrow. Things began to be interesting. Although I don''t know why the other side is doing it by themselves, it is obviously more fun and challenging to play with another lurker than to hunt those boring prey. He began to move quickly on the upper floor of the house, using the scattered and disordered buildings to block the enemy''s sight, while observing in the dark.
The game of hunters in complex cities is quite different from that in the forest, where there is no soil to faithfully record footprints, and there are no branches and shrubs to expose the traces of targets. The confrontation between the roof canopies is a battle that tests both sides'' reaction ability, movement ability and the grasp of the shelter relationship between buildings. More often than not, you can''t be sure if the enemy is still hovering in this area.
He stepped on the wooden pile protruding from the wall, and his body was much lighter than that of human beings, which made him get a lot of convenience in action. Although the price is that his power will inevitably fall into the downwind when confronting human beings. That''s why his trainers tend to teach him skills in combat. He has to learn to turn physical weakness into strength in order to really adapt to combat. Fortunately, the terrible change took away his power, but it was not without compensation. The enhancement of hearing and vision made him a smart killer. But it''s not as good as another sensory enhancement, smell.It seems that he is hiding himself from the beginning, but intentionally or unintentionally, he is exposing his trace to the other party. The purpose is to lead the archer away from the archer''s position. He would make a circle and go to that position, where there must be the smell of the other party, and as long as he can smell that smell, the other party will never escape from his hand. He soon got the chance.
The smell, like a steel needle, was as pungent as a steel needle. Before he became like this, he would only have this reaction in the most stinky cesspit. Now, he is used to accepting this new sense and using it as his powerful weapon. In order to make full use of this ability, he has tried his best to collect and memorize all kinds of daily or possible odors, which gave him skills that even his master did not have.
Young women, wearing leather clothes, most of them are cowhide, mixed with the smell of some woven fabrics, without carrying a large number of metal weapons, and Does she have a cat with her? The message of the smell made him frown a little. He was puzzled because a normal assassin should have a rich metallic smell and should not carry a cat. It''s just that his doubts didn''t last long.
Shadow, coming from above, claws, passing the eyes by a millisecond. His instinctive reaction saved his life, but the attack revealed his true face under his hood.
"I thought you looked sneaky, but I didn''t think it was really a mouse." The slim figure on the beam is satirized with the voice of throat. But the speaker is not much more normal than a rat.
In front of Jerry is a big cat in clothes. Her figure and even her figure are the same as those of human beings. The difference is that her skin has a layer of fine hair, so her face is more like a cat''s face. The cat woman, staring at the rat with provocative eyes, sticks out her prickly tongue and licks the blood on her paws.
