Chapter 104 Do you think I'm messing with you with a musket?
Braavos is crisscrossed by waterways, so small boats are naturally necessary to reach the Isles of the Gods.
Fortunately, Braavos has no shortage of people or ships.
The player and local soldiers, a combined force of about two or three thousand people, sailed in batches in small boats toward the Isle of Gods.
This so-called tenement was nothing more than a large brick building in Braavos, covered in moss, and by no means looked like a temple with many worshippers.
That's the impression players got at first glance.
It's more like a temple than a warehouse.
"Ignore the other gods and immortals for now, head straight for the House of Black and White, leave no one alive, men or women, young or old!"
As the commander-in-chief, [Pointing at a Mouse as a Duck] waved his hand, and the joint force behind him, composed of players and local soldiers, immediately sprang into action. No longer were they leisurely strolling around like they were admiring the scenery; they all swung their arms and rowed vigorously.
Apart from the Imperial Enforcement Team and the Knights, who were the final force, everyone else, including the secret police, rowed their famous boats around the Sanctuary and headed straight for the House of Black and White.
During this time, the group saw the Red Temple, which resembled a fortified fortress. [Pointing at a mouse, calling it a duck] jokingly said to the non-stick pan on the boat, "I heard they say it's full of red-robed monks. They probably like playing with fire too; maybe they'll get along with you!"
The non-stick pan ignored them, and like his brothers, it curiously looked around the Red God's mansion.
The fleet turned another corner and finally arrived at the territory of the so-called Thousand-Faced God, the lair of those assassins.
The entire Black and White Courtyard is built of dark gray stone, with a roof covered by black tiles, giving it an overall somber feel.
However, the players didn't care. What else would an assassin's lair look like if it didn't?
Most of Bloodbeard's men didn't care. As the commander, Bloodbeard wanted to make a good impression on Visser.
This time, he brought his trusted confidants whom he was used to. When he said he would take action and chop down the Thousand-Faced God whom no one believed in, he did so without hesitation.
"Kill! Leave no one alive, not even one who's breathing!"
The first ship, full of players, gently bumped into a stone pillar. The impatient players on board yelled and brandished their weapons as they jumped up and killed two servants who were stunned in place. Then they rushed inside to fight.
The entire Black and White House is built on a small hill on this tiny island, so the main force has to climb up there.
Fortunately, it wasn't very high, and the road wasn't very long, so the main force quickly arrived at the gate.
A pair of twelve-foot-tall carved wooden doors blocked the troops from entering, with white on the left and black on the right, which reminded many players of the Tai Chi symbol.
"Break down the door!" shouted a squad leader from the Braavos Legion.
"No need!" The non-stick pan gestured to stop him, then turned to his subordinate, the "Carpenter Emperor": "Your Majesty! Bring up our cannon, let the brothers hear a bang!"
"Alright!" The temporary artillery captain of the grenadier regiment, nicknamed "Emperor" by the non-stick pan, immediately called out to his brothers who had laboriously pushed the three bronze cannons up, "Quick, aim at the gate! It's time for us brothers to show our faces!"
"Don't worry, boss!"
"Just you wait and see, this broken door will probably only take one shot, leaving the brothers wanting more!"
Several players who were temporarily brought in to act as gunners responded excitedly.
Cannons are built just to make some noise!
Soon, under the curious gazes of the local soldiers and even the players, three bronze cannons were lined up and aimed at the twelve-foot-high gate.
Following the procedures they had practiced many times beforehand, the gunners poured black powder into the muzzle, then used long wooden sticks to tamp it down. Finally, they slid stone projectiles, along with some iron sand and scrap iron, into the muzzle.
Finally, pour the ignition powder into the fire door and ignite it.
The complex maneuver left the local soldiers bewildered, and the players found it fascinating.
But then, boom! boom! Three loud bangs followed, and the bronze cannons exploded, causing several local soldiers nearby to retreat in fright from the enormous noise.
White smoke billowed around the cannon, but the eyes of the players operating it and the team leader, [Carpenter Emperor], were all fixed on the gate.
The twelve-foot-high gate was riddled with three large holes by three hit cannonballs, and the gap that connected to form half a gate was enough for a large army to rush in.
But the players operating the cannons were clearly not satisfied, so they spent some more time firing another round, blasting the white gate to smithereens.
"Charge!"
Seeing that the effect was almost there, [Carpenter Emperor] looked at his guild leader and commander-in-chief [Pointing at a Duck] with a satisfied expression. The latter nodded and immediately waved his hand, ordering the players and soldiers behind him to charge towards the Black and White Courtyard.
"Slaughter them all! Leave no one alive!"
The first to regain his senses, Bloodbeard kicked one of his men to the ground, then, carrying his sword, ordered his soldiers to move out.
Smoke continued to billow from the breach, but the players and soldiers had already charged in through it.
Meanwhile, inside the Black and White Courtyard, the group of master assassins were clearly startled by the loud noise. However, they did not panic. Instead, they quickly got up and disappeared from the spot.
Passing through the shattered gate, the players and soldiers stepped into a dark passage, with only a few candles burning along the walls, emitting a pitiful, faint light.
"Damn, I thought they were rats, but now it seems they're more like vampires!"
One player complained.
However, the long line of torches that were quickly lit soon illuminated the passage.
"Kill anyone you see!"
After passing through the passage, the temple was quite spacious, and the players and soldiers split up to search.
Many deities were enshrined around the altar. Some servants stood there in a panic, only remembering to run away when they saw a large group of soldiers rushing in.
"Please forgive me! I'm just a servant!"
An elderly man with gray hair and a hunchback begged for mercy, but all he received in response was the flash of a knife.
The old man fell forward, revealing a short dagger hidden behind his back.
This was clearly a Faceless One, but he probably didn't expect the soldiers who rushed in to kill anyone they saw, so he died very quickly.
The other servants were quickly slaughtered by the soldiers. Among them were two faceless beings who fought back and shot down a soldier and a player with their crossbows. Before they could escape, they were hacked to pieces by the soldiers who rushed at them.
Passing through the altar dedicated to the gods, they arrived at the center of the temple, where a pool of water twelve feet in diameter lay before the troops.
Four or five figures leaped down from above, their daggers easily piercing the necks of their respective targets.
The team quickly retreated, and these few figures were still trying to escape, but the grenadier players had already lit the fuses on the fire gate with their firearms.
boom! boom! boom!
A plume of white smoke rose, and after a loud bang, three of the faceless men fell, two of whom miraculously survived thanks to the poor accuracy of the muskets.
"What is that thing?!" The two Faceless Ones had the same thought at the same time.
They just could never understand it in their lifetime.
As the players who had fired their firearms all took a step back, a row of players behind them, who had already lit their firearms, stepped forward and aimed their firearms at the two of them.
Another series of gunshots rang out, and two more Faceless Men fell to the ground...
