Somewhere in the kingdom.
The old man with sinister eyes sat in the main seat, his face so gloomy that it could drip water. After a long moment, he spoke.
"Leona, dead!"
"What?"
Hearing his words, the purple-haired man stood up in surprise, and the short-brown-haired man also had a look of astonishment on his face.
Leona, who has the strength of the Blood Warrior, is dead
How can this be
Even when facing the siege of the Sidney family last time, there was no loss of combat power at the level of a mad blood warrior. This time, they only assassinated a small viscount family, but actually lost a mad blood warrior
When Leona accepted the assassination mission, they did not think about the possibility of failure of the mission.
However, even if the assassination fails, in their opinion, Leona's strength should be enough to escape. This is why they are assured of Leona going to assassinate her.
But now that they heard that Leona was dead, their first reaction was disbelief.
"Sir, could the news be wrong?"
The man with short brown hair opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief or unwillingness to believe.
How could assassinating a mere viscount family cause damage to a mad blood warrior
This was really unbelievable, and he was more willing to believe that Leona was temporarily unable to contact the organization due to something.
"It has been confirmed many times and there will be no mistake."
The old man with a sinister expression shook his head, his expression extremely ugly.
Not only did the two of them not want to believe it, even when he first heard the news, he thought it was wrong. After repeated confirmations, he had to believe the fact.
Leona, who had the strength of a mad blood warrior, died. Not only her, but none of the assassins with him could escape.
"How could this happen? Could it be that they were ambushed by the Sidney family?"
The purple-haired man's face was full of surprise.
"But how is that possible? Half a year has passed, how is it possible that the Sidney family hasn't evacuated yet?"
"This matter is indeed strange, but this is the only explanation that makes sense."
The old man with a sinister expression said gloomily.
Neither he, nor the purple-haired man, nor the short-brown-haired man, had ever thought that this was the power of the Fergus family.
This is really too hard to believe.
It would be difficult for the Earl family to kill a mad blood warrior, but the Viscount family would never believe it.
"Starting from today, all members of the Shadow Snake are not allowed to enter the Sidney Territory, nor are they allowed to accept assassination commissions related to the Sidney Territory."
After a while, the old man with a sinister look made a decision and ordered in a deep voice.
"yes."
The purple-haired man and the short-brown-haired man both nodded in agreement.
From beginning to end, neither of them ever brought up the idea of revenge for the blindfolded woman Leona.
On the one hand, they don't have that ability, and on the other hand, their friendship with the blindfolded woman Leona is not deep either.
Killers are indifferent people, and they are more wary of each other. They don't have much friendship with the blindfolded woman at all, so it is naturally impossible for them to put themselves in danger for the blindfolded woman.
…
One month later, Fergus Castle.
The assassination of the Shadow Snake did not come as expected, but it was another thing that caught them off guard.
"The medicinal materials were robbed and Lord Corgi was killed?"
Upon hearing the news, Gray looked stunned at first, and then suddenly a cold murderous look appeared in his eyes.
Lord Corgi was a person who had a few acquaintances with Gray. The last time Gray transferred from Sidney City to the Marquis of Oka, he had boarded a caravan of medicines transported by the Fergus family led by him.
A person who was easy to get along with gave all the money collected from the robbers to Gray. To a certain extent, Gray owed him a favor.
But such a person was actually dead and was killed by robbers, which made him feel angry.
"how so?"
Bernal also looked surprised and angry.
"Lord Corgi has the strength of a high-level blood warrior. Could it be that two or more high-level blood warriors have joined forces, or is there a fierce blood warrior taking action?"
"I don't know. All the guards were killed, and there are no survivors."
Viscount Fergus looked ugly and shook his head.
"Father, there are more than two high-ranking blood warriors, or there are fierce blood warriors. Such bandit groups are rare in the Sidney Territory. Could they be disguised by some noble force?"
Bernal was astonished.
It is common for nobles to act as robbers and make huge profits by doing business without capital. This is a common thing in the aristocratic circle. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of this is very high.
"Whether they are robbers or noble forces in disguise, they must pay the price."
Viscount Fergus had a cold look in his eyes.
"Gray, I want you to go find the robbers or forces, no matter what they are, and kill them all without holding back."
"But I'm not good at tracking!"
Gray frowned slightly. None of the abilities he possessed were good at tracking, and he had never specifically learned tracking methods.
If you find it and let him do it, there will be no problem, but if you let him track it, it will be a bit difficult for him.
Viscount Fergus had obviously thought of this and said immediately.
"Don't worry about this. I will ask Lord Harry, who is good at tracking, to follow you. All you have to do is make the last move."
"Then there's no problem."
Gray nodded. Since he was only responsible for the final move, there was no problem.
"The robbers this time are likely to have fierce blood warriors, bringing leopard-shaped blood beasts with them."
Viscount Fergus continued.
"good."
Gray nodded.
Of the four blood beasts, the leopard-type blood beast is the easiest to take away. As for the other three blood beasts, they are difficult to take away because they are too big and move too much.
Early the next morning, Gray left the Fergus family on horseback. Along with him was a slightly pudgy man and several guards. The slightly pudgy man was Lord Harry whom Viscount Fergus mentioned yesterday.
In addition, there is a leopard-shaped blood beast quietly following behind.
This is the last trump card. If it can be done with Gray's strength, it would be the best. If it can't be done with Gray's strength, it must be used.
He didn't bring too many people. If Gray and the leopard-type blood beast teamed up, it wouldn't be possible. No matter how many people he brought, it would be useless. The guards he brought were entirely responsible for logistics and messaging.
Da da da!
Considering that he was a leopard-shaped blood beast, Gray chose to walk on a remote path. Although Lord Harry was confused as to why Gray did this, he didn't ask any more questions.
They stayed overnight in a village. One day later, Gray and the others arrived at the place where the caravan was robbed and killed.
The bodies of the robbed and killed guards have been cleared away, but traces of the battle can still be seen at the scene.
Dried blood, arrows falling on the ground, broken leather pieces from armors, and even broken weapons...
All signs indicate that a brutal battle once took place here.
"Lord Harley, please track the robber's whereabouts and see if you can track him!"
Green looked at Lord Harry and said.
"Yes, Master Gray."
Lord Harry responded, turned over and dismounted, his attitude was extremely respectful.
Although Viscount Fergus has not announced it in public, how could he not guess that Gray has been unofficially designated as the next successor of the Fergus family, so when facing Gray, his attitude was extremely polite.
Besides, Gray's strength as a high-ranking blood warrior was even stronger than his current one, so he couldn't help but treat him rudely.
Under Gray's gaze, Lord Harry began to search nearby.
Either squatting down to observe the footprints, or reaching out to touch the tire marks. After a while, he stood up with a frown.
"How is it, Lord Harry?"
Seeing that the other party seemed to have come to a conclusion, Gray asked.
"The robbers cleaned up the traces when they retreated, but they retreated with several carriages carrying medicinal materials. Even if some traces were cleaned, they could not be completely cleaned. I can try to trace them based on these traces."
"That's good."
Gray breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if he could track it, but he was afraid that he couldn't.
He didn't know what force it was that robbed and killed the Fergus family caravan, and he didn't care too much.
With his strength, and the leopard-shaped blood beast hidden in the dark, ready to support at any time, he is confident that as long as he can find it, he will definitely be able to destroy it.
He was just afraid that he wouldn't be able to track him. Even if he had the strength, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
He has finally figured out his shortcomings, and hopes to have the opportunity to meet the blood of the blood beast with tracking ability in the future.
Several people stopped while walking and followed the traces. A day later, a city appeared in front of them.
The city wall is more than ten meters high, and the huge city gate is completely made of metal, majestic and majestic.
Although it is slightly smaller than Sidney City in terms of scale, it should still be a city with a permanent population of more than 100,000.
This is the fiefdom city where the Smalley family, the earl family, is located.
