Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Morgana and her group, leading a large and impressive entourage, headed towards Ens Manor.

Because there were so many people, but everyone was still marching at a fast pace, so not too much time was wasted.

When we arrived at a place not far from Ensemble.

Morgana asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, may we attack now?"

After hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce nodded and then said, "No problem, that's why I asked you to come..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana looked at him and said, "Mr. Ce, so, will you be in charge?"

Xiao Ce waved his hand towards the not-so-large Ens Manor in front of him and said, "Forget it, this place is tiny. Come on in."

Without further ado, Morgana summoned her trusted aides and instructed them to knock on the door.

If no one opens the door, just break it down.

Morgana's stance was simple: if their lives could be saved, they would be spared; otherwise, they would simply be left to die.

Upon hearing Morgana's words, their men began to take action.

Xiao Ce sat down under the shade of a tree and watched from afar with a smile on his face.

He looked like he was on vacation.

As soon as Xiao Ce sat down, Yin Pan'er smiled at him and said, "Your Highness, it really seems like you're here on vacation..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and then said, "That's right, I am indeed here for tourism... This place is so small, there's not much of a challenge."

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, although this thing isn't very big, it's quite stressful, isn't it? After all, if there are people hiding inside, they're in the dark while we're in the light!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ce looked around and then asked Da Lei, "Da Lei, if you were sent to attack this castle, what would you do?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Da Lei smiled broadly and said, "Your Highness, this isn't difficult, is it? Actually, with so many of us, there's no need for a war of attrition, because if we did, there would definitely be losses."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said to Da Lei, "So, Da Lei, you mean...?"

Da Lei smiled at Xiao Ce and said, "Not bad, Your Highness. You've always said that in doing anything, you need to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."

After hearing Da Lei's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses?"

"Yes, Your Highness, what are our current advantages?"

After hearing Da Lei's question, Xiao Ce looked around and then said, "Isn't it just those people?"

Da Lei said, "That's right. We just need to attack from all four sides at once, and then use siege equipment to occupy the high ground first. They brought snipers this time, right? We can set up snipers on the high ground, and then everyone can enter from all four sides. If they dare to move, they'll be riddled with bullets."

After Da Lei said this, Yin Pan'er smiled and then said to them, "You see, they really did it..."

Yin Pan'er was holding a pair of binoculars and looking towards the manor.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce took out his binoculars and began to look.

The guard commander under Morgana was quite capable; his methods were almost identical to those of Da Lei.

Their guards climbed the wall one by one and then went inside.

The guards were in squads of five, and each squad was spaced a distance apart.

This is done to prevent violent suicide attacks.

Once they entered, the entire manor came into view.

Eight snipers were already in position at the high vantage point.

These snipers are all sharpshooters, but of course there's a big difference between them and the Shadow Guards.

Just then, they swarmed into Ensemble Manor like locusts.

In fact, the eight assassins at Ensemble Manor were already prepared from the beginning.

That's assassination; their ambush positions are all designed to cover each other.

If a small team of ten or twenty people comes, they will probably have to pay all their expenses here at once.

However, they never expected that they would mobilize thousands of people, and that the first group of five hundred men on horseback would come directly from all sides.

These people are packed together; if they dare to open fire...

Those snipers on the rooftop will be able to locate them immediately.

Then, they only had one fate: to be riddled with bullets.

However, if they don't take action now, their sweeping search will definitely lead to them being found in no time.

Once found, they are almost certainly killed.

So they fell silent for a moment, contemplating becoming human bombs themselves.

However, although these people are densely packed, once they rush out, their current formation allows them to quickly regroup and then be blown to smithereens with their guns.

So the human bomb tactic really won't work.

Moreover, their large movements were noticed by the snipers first.

Therefore, their best option now is assassination, because if they use firearms, it's at least a one-for-one exchange.

If you're lucky, you might get two for one, or even three.

After all, given the density of Morgana's guards, it's still feasible for them to act together.

Although they couldn't achieve it, it was within their expectations.

However, one is enough to break even, and having more is a bonus.

Thinking of this, a guard was about to be discovered by a massive search.

They just opened fire.

After one of them fired the shot, the other assassins began to move.

However, they were quickly located after they fired the shots.

After their location was pinpointed, the others opened fire.

Because they were very scattered, and amidst the chaotic gunfire.

So, in no time at all, the place was in complete chaos.

The snipers also quickly located their positions.

Outside the manor, Morgana was giving a report.

"Mr. Ce, the purpose of having so many of us is to capture as many prisoners as possible alive..."

Ta da da da...

Morgana hadn't even finished speaking when fierce gunfire erupted from the manor.

These gunshots clearly indicate a battle between opposing sides.

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Morgana, "Morgana, with this much gunfire, those unlucky people are probably going to be blown to pieces..."

"At that point, forget about surviving them; with this kind of fighting, they won't even leave a complete corpse..."

Morgana gave an awkward smile, then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, it's very likely this is the first time, and you lack experience... Is it alright if there are no survivors?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Morgana and then said, "Morgana, you just kept talking about surviving, but I didn't believe you at all. These assassins are professionals; they definitely wouldn't let themselves fall into our hands alive..."

Morgana asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, what is your purpose in doing this?"

Upon hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled broadly and said, "The purpose is simple, I just wanted to come and see. You don't actually want someone alive... even a dead person would be good. Little Luna, haven't you met those people here before?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Luna instinctively interrupted, "I only saw an old woman; I didn't see anyone else."

Xiao Ce said with a smile, "It's alright, we're just taking a look. The main thing is to see if there are any robots."

After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he immediately followed up, "Of course, there shouldn't be any now!"

Morgana asked Xiao Ce, "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Ce looked at Morgana and said, "It's simple. Can you hear the gunshots again? It's silent again inside..."

Morgana smiled broadly after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "That's right, it seems the main force has left, only a few were left behind to scare us..."

Xiao Ce listened to Morgana's analysis and nodded in agreement: "What you said is very likely."

About half an hour after they started talking, the guard commander came running over.

Before Morgana could speak, the guard captain began to report: "Lady Morgana, we have conducted three thorough searches of Ens Manor, and we have now confirmed that it is safe to enter."

"At Enns Manor, we discovered eight assassins, six of whom we destroyed. The remaining two, we initially wounded but didn't kill, but by the time we got closer, they had already committed suicide by ingesting a deadly poison..."

"We've pieced those bodies back together and set them aside..."

“We have already deployed a thousand people in Ensemble Manor, leaving no blind spots.”

The guard commander's answer was quite good, and they were very polite.

Morgana looked at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce asked the guard commander directly, "Where did that explosion come from, and what's the problem?"

The guard captain said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, we've already investigated, and we can preliminarily determine that there's a tunnel leading to the outside world here. They probably blew up that tunnel... As for where they went through this tunnel, it collapsed due to an incident, so we don't know for the time being... We need to investigate..."

After hearing the guard commander's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "Actually, these tunnels aren't too far away. And using the process of elimination, you don't need to look at the areas you were already within. Investigate outwards from where you were before, circle by circle..."

The commander of the guards nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

He then asked, "Ms. Morgana, do you still need to go in?"

Morgana looked at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce waved his hand. Although he had the courage to come over, judging from what he had just heard, if there were a lot of bombs hidden inside, he would have been blown to bits.

Without a word, Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "Go and move everything out of there, move everything that can be moved out..."

"Then you people who can draw, shall we?"

After Xiao Ce said that, Morgana nodded and then said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, Mr. Ce."

"Go and draw every single tree and blade of grass in this Enns Estate..."

Morgana nodded, then said to the guard captain beside her, "Did you hear that..."

The guard commander nodded and then went to carry it out.

After he started implementing it.

"Mr. Ce, are you planning to leave now?"

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "Of course not..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana asked him, "Mr. Ce, what are you going to do next?"

Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "Identify the body!"

Morgana nodded, and then Xiao Ce said to Luna, "Little Luna, you can accept this, right?"

After hearing Morgana's words, Luna nodded, then said with a bright smile, "No problem... Identifying the body, I have no problem at all..."

As she spoke, Luna added, turning to Xiao Ce, "However, Mr. Ce, I still think we're probably destined not to see anything... Judging from that gunshot just now, it's clear no one was left behind; those people must have escaped..."

After hearing Luna's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "It's alright, it's fine to go and take a look, isn't it...?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Luna smiled and said, "That's right, it really is..."

Just then, Xiao Ce looked at Yin Pan'er and Xiao Yue.

Xiao Ce didn't say what he was about to say.

Yin Pan'er and Xiao Yue said almost in unison, "Face it head-on!"

After the two of them finished speaking, Xiao Ce swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Although they didn't go inside, the body was brought out.

Just as the guard commander had said, it really was shattered.

Although it was broken, its appearance was still recognizable.

Almost instantly, Luna confirmed that the old woman was not inside.

Morgana cautiously reminded her, "Could it be a disguise?"

Little Luna shook her head with a smile, then said, "Of course not. Even if you're disguised, I can still tell the difference in body shape!"

Morgana nodded after hearing what Luna said.

Then he looked at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "As expected..."

They were all relatively relaxed, but Xiao Ce noticed that Yin Pan'er's hand, which he was holding, was starting to get cold.

Not only did she become cold, but her complexion also turned pale.

Yin Pan'er had seen corpses, and even dead people.
