The purple moon disappeared, the sky gradually turned from dark to hazy, then brightened, and morning had arrived.
Near Oliver Castle, a village that does not exist on any map is immersed in the tranquility of the early morning.
From the outside, this is a very ordinary village, but if you look closely, you will find that it is extremely extraordinary.
Because there are actually sentry posts set up in some relatively secret places outside the village.
The people staying at these sentry posts were wearing fine leather armor. Under the leather armor were bulging muscles, sharp eyes, and a strong aura about them, just like soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.
For a village, this situation is absolutely abnormal.
Puff puff!
Almost at the same time, people at the sentry posts in the four directions of the village were assassinated amidst the muffled sounds.
Then, a large number of people in battle uniforms looked past their corpses with cold eyes and walked toward the village from four directions.
As they moved forward, everyone they met, without exception, was quickly killed before they could make a sound.
"Woo-"
However, as an assassination organization, its vigilance is naturally extremely high. Naturally, it is impossible to leave the vigilance completely to the men of the Oliver family, and it is also equipped with vigilance itself.
Not long after this group of people entered the village, they were discovered by the secret whistle placed by the Shadow Snake, which blew a sharp whistle.
"not good!"
Hearing the whistle, the purple-haired man, the short-brown-haired man, the blindfolded woman, and many Shadow Snake assassins all became alert.
They all held weapons and sprang out of their houses, as fast as venomous snakes.
"Surrounded!"
As soon as they ran out of the house, their expressions changed immediately. There were many people in combat uniforms approaching quickly from all four directions around the house. They were already surrounded.
"What happened? Did the Oliver family tell the secret to the Sidney family?"
The man with short brown hair said with an ugly expression.
The people who surrounded them all had powerful auras. There was no doubt that there would be so many powerful people in the team. This group of people must be the killing team composed of the Sidney family and the two count families.
"It's impossible. There's no way the Oliver family doesn't know that if we fall into the hands of the Sidney family, they won't be able to escape and be destroyed either."
The woman wearing an eyepatch shook her head.
"Humph, you underestimated the Sidney family's intelligence capabilities!"
The purple-haired man pulled out two daggers, his expression serious.
The leader of the Sidney family and the two earl families was a handsome young man with blond hair, it was Saroyan. At this time, his eyes were cold and he said coldly.
"Kill, leave no one behind!"
Suddenly, four directions quickly surrounded the assassins of the Shadow Snake.
Bang, bang!
The two sides soon fought together.
Suddenly, the whole village heard the sound of fierce fighting.
None of the two sides fighting was weak. The weakest one had the strength of a high-level blood warrior. The damage caused could be imagined.
Large tracts of houses in the village collapsed, and a large amount of dust was thrown up, as if there had been an earthquake.
puff!
An assassin with the strength of a ferocious warrior was killed by Saroyan with a single blow.
He is only in his 20s, but now he has the strength of a fierce-blooded warrior.
Practicing special blood techniques made him far more powerful than ordinary fierce-blooded warriors. After more than ten rounds of fighting, he killed this fierce-blooded warrior without paying any price.
He quickly pounced on another assassin with the strength of a fierce blood warrior.
Puff puff!
Soon, blood was stained all over the village, with blood everywhere on the walls and on the ground.
One by one, the assassins of the Shadow Snake were killed.
The team formed by the Marquis of Sidney and the two earls also suffered casualties. From time to time, people who could not be rescued were killed by the assassins of the Shadow Snake.
…
The Oliver family.
In front of the long aristocratic dining table, four members of the Oliver family were dining.
Da da da!
At this moment, the middle-aged butler ran into the restaurant, panting.
"What's up?"
Seeing the middle-aged butler like this, Viscount Oliver couldn't help but frown slightly, considering whether it was the right decision to appoint the middle-aged man in front of him as the butler.
"Lord Viscount, our spies stationed in Fergus Viscounty have received urgent news."
With that said, the middle-aged butler quickly handed a piece of folded letter paper with a "red seal" on the back, indicating urgency, to Viscount Oliver.
Viscount Oliver reached out to take it and unfolded the letter. The next moment, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Father, what happened?"
Seeing Viscount Oliver like this, Keppel suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart and couldn't help asking anxiously.
"Last night the Viscounty of Fergus secretly summoned all the enfeoffed nobles and mobilized a large number of soldiers."
Viscount Oliver said with a heavy voice.
"Secretly summon all the feudal nobles in the territory? Dispatch soldiers? What exactly does the Fergus family want to do?"
Suddenly, his expression suddenly turned ugly. It should be said that he became horrified.
"Could it be that our collusion with the Shadow Snake... has been exposed? The Fergus family has received orders from the Sidney family and is preparing to come... to encircle and suppress us?"
"Father, brother, could it be a mistake? Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Boyle looked ugly and said hopefully.
He knew that the Sidney family was colluding with the Shadow Snake, and naturally he also understood what would happen to the Oliver family if this matter was known to the Sidney family.
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, let's leave the castle first!"
Viscount Oliver stood up and made a decisive decision.
"ah-"
"ah-"
…
But at this moment, screams suddenly sounded out one after another, and then a large number of footsteps approached.
"Let's leave the castle through the secret tunnel in the backyard!"
Viscount Oliver took his wife and two sons and rushed towards the backyard of the castle, where there was a secret tunnel leading to the outside.
If you thought before that Viscount Fergus's secret gathering of the enfeoffed nobles might have been a coincidence and not for them, now you are convinced.
When the four people came to the back of the castle, opened the secret passage, and were about to escape through the secret passage, suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Viscount Oliver, please stay!"
Following the sound, several people rushed over, led by Viscount Fergus who was wearing a golden battle suit.
The others are all people in the territory of Viscount Fergus who have reached the level of high-level blood warriors, including Gray.
"I'll stop them, you go!"
Oliver's face turned pale, knowing that today might be a bad day, so he drew out the long knife from his waist and blocked the passage.
"Father."
"Go quickly."
Keppel's eyes were red, and he pulled Boyle and the middle-aged woman and rushed into the passage.
In the passage, there are traps that can block the escape route. As long as they can lower the trap, they still have hope of escaping.
"No one can leave!"
Viscount Fergus shouted coldly, struck at Viscount Oliver with a sword, entangled Viscount Oliver, and shouted to Gray.
"Gray, catch up, don't let them escape!"
"yes!"
The power of blood poured into his legs, and like a phantom, Gray rushed past the fighting Viscount Fergus and Viscount Oliver and rushed into the passage.
Although Viscount Oliver wanted to stop him, he was entangled by Viscount Fergus and several other high-ranking blood warriors, and he could only watch helplessly as Gray rushed into it.
