"What, the Fergus family will be assassinated by the Shadow Snake again, is it the Locke family that is hindering it?"
After hearing the news from Viscount Fergus, Bernal's face was full of anger, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
Although the Fergus family has survived this assassination safely, only those who have experienced it know the dangers involved.
If not for Gray's magical weapon with the ability to control corpses, the entire Fergus family would have been wiped out.
But now she actually heard that all this was caused by the Locke family. One can imagine her anger at this time.
"Damn it, the Locke family!"
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
When Gray heard the news, he couldn't help but show an icy look in his eyes, and his body revealed icy murderous intent.
"Father, is this news accurate?"
Gray asked after taking a deep breath to suppress the boiling murderous intent.
"Our spies who broke into the Locke family heard it. The information is absolutely reliable."
Viscount Fergus also had a chill in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gray as if he had made a decision and asked.
"Gray, what are the combat capabilities of the corpses you control?"
"You can't use the blood beast ability, nor can you use the power of blood. The combat power is not as good as the fierce blood warriors, but it is much better than the upper-level blood warriors."
Gray replied, then asked thoughtfully.
"Father, do you want to...?"
"Um."
Viscount Fergus nodded directly, with cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Since the Shadow Snake has already taken action against the Fergus family, it would not be surprising for the Shadow Snake to take action against the Locke family again."
…
In the evening, Locke Family Restaurant.
"Father, I heard that the Fergus family was assassinated last night. Is this true?"
Morey Locke, the second son of Viscount Locke, asked.
"Well, they were indeed assassinated. The assassin was a member of the Shadow Snake. Viscount Fergus and Gray Fergus both suffered some injuries."
Viscount Locke nodded.
"Hmph, isn't the Fergus family very crazy? They are finally deflated."
When he heard that someone in the Fergus family was assassinated and someone was injured, Morey Locke couldn't help but feel happy, but it soon turned into a slight regret.
"The Shadow Snake is true. Why not destroy the Fergus family? Even if you can't destroy the Fergus family, it would be better to kill that guy."
The guy he was talking about was none other than Gray, and now Gray had almost become his nightmare.
In the Viscount Family War, he was defeated at the hands of Gray. He learned from the pain and practiced hard, hoping to defeat Gray and wash away the previous shame.
However, just two months ago, he suddenly heard that Gray had become a high-level blood warrior. In an instant, he had no motivation at all, and all he had was deep fear.
When the opponent was still a mid-level blood warrior, he was no longer an opponent. Now that the opponent was a high-level blood warrior, how could he be an opponent
And why is the opponent's cultivation speed so fast
He has always been praised as a genius, and he is proud of it, but compared with his opponent, his talent is not even a little bit inferior.
This made him really unwilling and resentful in his heart. Why was the other party's talent better than his own
After hearing the words of his second son Morey Locke, Viscount Locke's face became gloomy. He couldn't figure out that the assassination of the Shadow Snake would fail.
Logically speaking, given the strength of the Fergus family, just sending out three ferocious assassins would be enough to wipe out the Fergus family.
In the last siege, although the Shadow Snake suffered heavy losses, it should not be able to even take out three ferocious assassins.
After all, the Shadow Snake is not an ordinary small organization, and how can it be a small organization that can challenge a Marquis family
But under such circumstances, the Shadow Snake actually failed, which always made him feel weird.
In response to the assassination, the Fergus family issued a gag order, and the informant they hid in the Fergus family died in the assassination last night.
As a result, he had no way of knowing the specific process of last night's battle, nor could he determine what exactly caused the assassination of the Shadow Snake to fail.
"Consider them lucky!"
With a cold snort in his heart, Viscount Locke calmed down the cold expression on his face and returned to his usual calm demeanor, but there was an indelible cloud in his eyes.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, suddenly, from the window and from the entrance of the restaurant, Liu Dao, a figure wearing black clothes and with a mask on his face, suddenly rushed in.
Then they all held weapons and rushed towards the Locke family in the restaurant.
"not good… "
The sudden change caused Viscount Locke's expression to change drastically, and he quickly rushed towards the place where the weapons were hidden.
Elf Locke and Morey Locke reacted half a beat slower than him. After reacting, they stood up and rushed towards the place where the weapons were hidden.
However, before the two of them could get close to the place where the weapons were hidden, two assassins had already rushed towards them.
Poof, poof!
The pitch-black blade was like a black light wiping across their necks.
Bright red blood splashed like a fountain.
The floor of the restaurant, which had been mopped spotlessly, was stained. The two of them had their eyes wide open and their bodies fell weakly.
Not only the two of them, but also the middle-aged woman could not escape and was killed almost at the same time as the two of them.
"Alf, Morey, Harris..."
As soon as he got the weapon in his hand, he turned around and saw his two heirs and his wife who had fallen helplessly. Viscount Locke's eyes were red, almost going crazy.
He has participated in assassinations several times, and many times he has seen the targets of the assassinations roar in anger at the death of their loved ones.
At that time, he didn't have any trouble in his heart. To him, killing someone was no different from killing an animal.
But at this time, his family became the target of assassination, and his relatives fell under the enemy's blade. He finally understood what it felt like, and it was heartbreakingly painful.
"Go to hell!"
He roared angrily and rushed towards the assassin who killed his relatives, but was immediately blocked by three people.
Clang, clang, clang!
On the first day of the fight, his expression immediately turned horrified. The three people attacking him were all fierce warriors.
Poof, poof!
After just a few exchanges, several deep wounds appeared on his body, blood dripped from his body, and pools of blood appeared on the ground.
He struggled to resist, but became increasingly powerless.
His blood beast ability is to control plants, which can only be used where there are plants. It cannot be used in the living room at all.
Poof!
Finally, a long sword suddenly broke through his blockade and pierced his chest.
"Gugu—"
There was blood from the corner of his mouth, and there was a look of strong unwillingness in his eyes, and he slowly fell down weakly.
In addition to the restaurant, there are also battles taking place in other places in the castle.
Hearing the fighting in the restaurant, the castle guards rushed towards the restaurant, but their way was blocked by two men in black.
More than 100 castle guards rushed towards the two men like a tide, but they were unable to break through their blockade.
Not only that, the two of them were like killing machines, and the guards were killed by them one after another.
Leading these guards is a middle-aged man wearing a brown battle uniform. He is the guard commander of Rock Castle and has the strength of a high-level blood warrior.
But at this time, facing these two assassins, Chu was already injured in the first fight. Fortunately, he retreated in time and saved his life.
"Snake of Shadow, you are Snake of Shadow..."
Under the dim light in the castle, he suddenly saw a dark snake tattoo on the left sleeve of one of the assassins. His face was horrified and he screamed in horror.
Faced with his screams of terror, the two assassins were not affected at all and continued to kill the castle guards mercilessly.
There are fewer and fewer castle guards alive, and many guards are so frightened that they turn and run away.
Just when he thought that today was going to be unlucky, he discovered that the two assassins suddenly turned around and rushed towards the castle wall. They climbed up the wall and jumped out of the castle in a few clicks.
"What's going on? No, Lord Viscount..."
For the rest of his life, he was filled with doubts. Why did the two assassins withdraw so suddenly
But he immediately reacted, his expression changed, and he hurriedly ran towards the restaurant. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Lord Viscount, Master Alf, Master Morey..."
Sure enough, when he came to the restaurant, his bad premonition came true.
The restaurant was in ruins, obviously after a fight, but at this time, all four Viscount Locke fell in a pool of blood, their eyes widening unwillingly.
"It's over, it's over..."
He murmured in his mouth, his eyes were blank, not knowing what to do.
For a noble like him who was enfeoffed by the Locke family, the Locke family was everything. Once the Locke family was destroyed, all the enfeoffments they had received before would also be taken back.
In other words, from now on, he and his family are already a civilian family.
The efforts of several generations have vanished into thin air. How can he not be confused
A few hours later, among the Fergus family.
"The Locke family has a lot of good things."
Looking at a box of magic coins, a box of jewelry, and many other valuable things in front of him, Bernal was slightly surprised.
Those who participated in the assassination this time were Viscount Fergus, Gray, and six fierce blood warriors controlled by Gray. He was simply not strong enough to participate in such an assassination, so he did not follow him.
"Indeed, quite a few."
Gray also sighed slightly.
After killing Viscount Locke, he and Viscount Fergus searched Locke Castle and found the secret room. They swept away everything in the secret room that could be easily taken away and that would not be recognized.
The total of these things is more than what was gained during the last round of siege of the Oliver family, and these are only things that cannot be identified and can be easily taken away.
There were many other things, but because the signs were too obvious, they did not take them away, which shows how much wealth the Locke family has accumulated.
"The news of the assassination of the Fergus family has been reported to the Sidney family this morning. The Sidney family should send someone over tomorrow. The five assassins must hide them."
Viscount Fergus looked at Gray and explained carefully.
"I know."
Gray nodded solemnly.
