48 Hours a Day

Chapter 883 Assassination

Without Conmood's introduction, everyone knows that the man under the Chaser's helmet is Otrus.

Though there is no helmet to cover the face of Otrus, this is undoubtedly the closest time this most mysterious advisor to Commodore has ever been.

Zhang Heng is probably the only one here who knows that this is not Autrus' true esteem.

Not that no one can think of the possibility that Otrus will use a double, but that at this time, no one believes that Otrus will use a double.

Because this is the day he walks from the darkness to the front desk and is about to reap unparalleled rights.

It's like being a crown prince on a throne, or a bridegroom on a wedding night… There are moments in life where you can't and you don't want to fake hands. Clint knows this very well, and if he were to be in Ottrus' place today, he would have to be there in person no matter what.

Not to mention that Otrus is a name, and whoever shows up at this time and stands beside Conmoord will naturally become Otrus, which everyone admits, even if he is a fake, will now and always be true, the number two figure who stands at the top of power, after Conmoord.

Clint tightened his fist and looked at the figure with a complicated eye, because he knew that once Autrus showed up and stood in the sun, that meant that he was basically defeated in the struggle for that right.

Don't look at the majority of people standing next to him now, Clint knows exactly why everyone is standing next to him, because Otrus never shows up, so the closer he gets to him, the closer he can be to the center of power, and Clint represents Conmood's will in a sense.

But from today on, it will no longer be like this, because there is someone more able to embody the will of Kang Mao, and all power, there will always be only one center, and it won't be long before all these followers behind him become the followers of Autrus.

It is precisely because of this that Clint is more afraid than anyone of Autrus walking up to the stage.

But now it seems that he has not been able to stop it.

On the other side, Zhang Heng long ago guessed that Otrus might use a double. However, when the double really appeared, Zhang Heng's heart also raised a somewhat strange feeling. He found that he could not see how Otrus was going to play the game.

In Otruz's physical state, he didn't want to appear in front of the public, which meant that the person standing next to Conmoord today would not be him, especially if Zhang Heng's speculation was correct, and as Otruz's dead person, he could not be revived.

But using a double also has side effects, as everyone here thinks, once Autrus' double walks into the sun, combined with the endorsement of Conmood, it becomes a true Autruz, even if Autruz jumps out of his self-identification at this time, he won't believe it, of course, and Conmood won't suffer too much in the situation.

Because all of Otrus' powers come from Commodore, then Commodore can naturally take them back, which can be a great constraint for the double, but the problem is that once the double shows up, it's not easy for Otrus to imagine using his powers as smoothly as before, and he needs to contact his double first, and then issue an order in his place.

Don't underestimate this extra link in the middle, it's like suddenly doubling Otrus' cane, and Otrus won't feel comfortable using it again.

Zhang Heng didn't know how Otrus was going to end the show, and there was another thing that caught his attention. Zhang Heng was surprised that the person who assassinated him was Lucilla's husband, Pompeanus.

Because Pompeanus was a very low-key man who had followed Aurelius in the Civil War and gradually emerged in the army until he became an Admiral of Aurelius, who, after marrying Lucilla, although not a qualified wife, had a lot of gossip about her in Rome City, but this relationship made Pompeanus, indeed, one of Aurelius's own.

And so he was getting heavier and heavier, and by the time Olerius died, Pompeanus was basically military number one. But even if he sat in this position, his whole person had not changed. He remained as dedicated and modest as ever, while still respecting his wife Lucilla. Letting the latter fuck around, Pompeanus seemed as if he had not seen it at all. At this point, he was just like Olerius.

Zhang Heng doesn't understand why this military boss suddenly wants to kill him for no reason. Knowing that he and Pompeianus have barely had any intercourse, he should not have done anything to the detriment of Pompeianus...

At a time when Zhang Hengbeis was confused, Conmood finally introduced the “Otrus” around him to the people present, but he did not allow time for people and "Otrus” to get to know each other and go directly to the barracks outside the city.

So Sebutur hurried in and protected Khanmoud's carriage.

As for "Otrus”, instead of riding a wagon with Conmoord, he chose to follow Conmoord's wagon, given his special status, and the PLA assigned him a team to protect his safety, while the rest were escorted by two other teams.

It is now the beginning of the reign of Khanmoud, the war has just come to an end, together with a large number of gifts sent by the young emperor to solicit the hearts and minds of the people, which has led to a good general life for the civilian population in the city, improved security and, naturally, no one wants to go to the emperor's trouble.

Knowing that the Emperor was traveling, there was a large group of civilians cheering on both sides of the street, and Conmoord would wave at the cheering people in the carriage and try to create a familiar image, but the side effect was that the team walked slowly until noon to leave the city.

Fortunately, after leaving town, the speed can finally be lifted.

The military protector was relieved, the previous people were too enthusiastic to let the scene get a little confused, and Khanmoud refused to let him disperse the civilian population by more intense means, so Sebutur's heart hung up, good thing at last there was no big leak, leaving the city has become safe, there are several nearby military camps, this area is basically under control.

The military protector thought so, but suddenly the team stopped. He drove his horse to the front and found a donkey truck with a smoked fish rolled over, blocking the road in front of the bridge. In addition to them, several other passers-by, as well as a group of Jews, were stopped here.

Knowing that the young emperor liked to show his compassion, the military protector asked several guard soldiers to help the owner of the donkey cart reload, but in the meantime, his eyes fell on the Jews, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

Because the Jews were wearing rigorous and solid clothes and drummed bags at the waist, Sebutur had some military brigade experience. He wanted to warn the guards around him immediately, but the Jews moved faster, and they took off their coats and revealed the armor inside, while also pulling out their weapons.
