As Lucas and Nebula Games released the second promotional video, the players who were previously itching with desire for Animus were instantly drawn to it.
Even some players from FOW were included.
Seeing the heat that had just been built up being doused with cold water, Zeus was so angry that his head was about to explode.
Lucas was completely unaware of Zeus's incredibly angry mood.
But if Lucas knew, he would definitely say, "You guessed right! This time it wasn't just a coincidence, it was intentional."
Ordinary players weren't aware of any of this. They were all completely captivated by Nebula Games' promotional video for "Assassin's Creed."
......
At the beginning of the video.
Amidst flowers and cheers, and surrounded by countless guards, a fat pope sitting in a luxurious carriage held a scepter in one hand and waved to the outside with a smile.
At the same time, in a dark corner of the square, an assassin wearing a white hood and a red-and-white assassin's outfit was watching the pope in the distance.
Head bowed, he slowly advanced towards the pope's procession.
The onlookers cheering around saw this white-clad assassin and all showed surprised expressions and made way.
The guards on the roof beams with muskets also noticed this uninvited guest emerging from the darkness at the first moment.
He slowly raised the musket in his hand, aiming it at the assassin who was still advancing towards the pope.
The assassin in the square seemed completely unaware, still slowly advancing towards the pope's motorcade, his pace unhurried and composed.
The next moment, the camera switched to the guard holding the musket on the roof. In the sunlight, two shadows overlapped.
With a "whoosh," the sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was heard, and blood flowed as the guard's body fell.
Then the camera returned to the square, and the white-clad assassin with the hood had approached the outer edge of the pilgrims.
Seeing the assassin in front of them, the surrounding knights also noticed him and drew their longswords to meet him.
Without even looking at the two guards beside him, the white-clad assassin's movements and pace remained the same, slowly walking towards the center of the square.
A cry of an eagle rang out, and the sound of air being pierced was heard. Two arrows shot through the guards' throats, bringing with them splattering blood.
In the instant they brushed past, the two guards fell to the ground.
The surrounding pilgrims cried out in fear and made way, clearing a path for the white-clad assassin.
At the same time, the other knights charged towards the white-clad assassin.
Facing the approaching knights, the assassin gently shook his hands, and with a crisp sound of metal rubbing, hidden blades popped out of his wrists, stabbing straight into the throats of the two knights in front of him.
A double kill in an instant.
Then the white-clad assassin raised his head and advanced expressionlessly.
Knights drawing their swords to fight.
Bodies falling to the ground.
A panicked crowd.
And an unhurried assassin.
Countless knights surrounded the white-clad assassin in the middle. The red-clad commander in the carriage got out and showed a slight smile of contempt when he saw the assassin.
"Ezio Auditore."
"To fight against us alone, your courage is commendable."
"It's a pity, you have courage but no brains."
The red-clad commander stared straight at the white-clad assassin called Ezio.
Facing the other party's words, Ezio didn't respond at all.
He just raised his hand and gently grabbed something in the air, then opened his left hand.
In the palm of the assassin called Ezio was an eagle feather.
An eagle flew over Ezio's head and let out a cry.
Looking up, his face was blocked by the hood, but a smile appeared on the corner of Ezio's mouth, and then he nodded gently.
Gently pushing away the body of a knight who had not yet fallen, Ezio grabbed a longsword and easily killed two cavalrymen rushing towards him.
"The Pope's Guard!"
Accompanied by shouts, countless soldiers wearing armor and holding spears rushed out of the cathedral.
At the same time, four assassins, also wearing white hoods and holding different weapons, slowly walked out of the crowd and stood behind Ezio.
Then the screen went dark, and the next scene was the top floor of a clock tower.
A white hood, a red-and-white assassin's outfit, and hidden blades.
On the top floor of the clock tower, an assassin overlooked the execution platform in the distance.
The clock struck, and as the copper bell swung, it covered the assassin's figure, but in the next second, when the copper bell swung back, the white-clad assassin had disappeared.
"Dong!" Accompanied by the sound of the clock.
The camera came to the front of the square, and the white-clad assassin passed through the crowd.
"Dong!" "Dong!" "Dong!" As the clock struck, it was as if it was keeping time.
The assassin's movements became faster and faster, and in an instant, he passed through the crowd and came to the bottom of the execution platform, then jumped up and, like an eaglet spreading its wings, stabbed the hidden blade in his hand cleanly into the throat of a Templar knight on the execution platform.
The sudden assassination threw the crowd into chaos.
Enemies from a distance rushed over quickly. After killing his target, the assassin looked at the body on the ground, whispered something, and then closed his eyes for him with his hand.
Then he turned around gracefully, climbed onto the roof, scaled walls and walked along rooftops, and left the scene.
The camera switched again, and countless Templar knights holding spears rushed towards a white-clad assassin.
But they were no match at all. Countless Templar knights fell to the ground and became cold corpses under the assassin's attacks.
The battle scene appeared once again.
This time the white-clad assassin's opponent was no longer a Templar knight, but an assassin like himself.
It's just that the other party's assassin's outfit had changed from white to black.
The two were engaged in a fierce battle in the courtyard.
Nimble steps crossed, and hidden blades collided.
At this moment, countless phantoms suddenly appeared around the white-clad assassin.
There were assassins, ordinary old people, and even Templar knights.
Countless empty shadows circled the assassin, like a revolving lantern.
In the end, all the noisy sounds turned into a voice-over.
"When other men blindly pursue the truth, remember..."
"Nothing is true."
The surrounding phantoms slowly dissipated.
"When other men are limited by morality or law, remember..."
"Everything is permitted."
In the end, the hidden blade stabbed into the body of the black-clad assassin.
Looking at the other party's remains on the ground, the white-clad assassin knelt down on one knee and gently stroked the other party's eyes to close them.
Then the assassin slowly walked towards the inside of the palace and disappeared into the darkness.
"We work in the dark to serve the Light."
"We are Assassins."
As the assassin completely disappeared into the darkness, a blinding light bloomed from within.
"Assassin's Creed"
The game title and its logo appeared in the center of the video.
