Count Lauzitz was like a hungry wolf cornered, and the Viking warriors were hired late at night like wolves in the night, they rushed into the slums of Mason Town with torches, and in the middle of the night they pulled the inhabitants out of their beds like robbers, looking around for the whereabouts of the Assassins' Guild.

"What's wrong?" The Duke of Abel hurriedly put on his velvet cloak, and he walked out of the main tower of Fort Mason to the city wall, where the guards had already lit torches and held halberds in their hands, and it was evident that they also thought that Fort Mason had been attacked by an unknown enemy, and indeed no one had come to report what had happened to the Duke of Masonburg.

"Lord Duke, there seems to be a commotion in the town, maybe it was robbers who attacked us?" The captain of the guard wore armor and hurried to the duke's side, he was wearing a chain mail hood shawl, a sturdy leather armor, and a pair of leather gloves on his hands.

"What do you have to say?" Duke Abel wrapped his cloak tightly in the night wind to ward off the cold wind, and he looked at the light of the torches outside the castle and wondered how many times he had seen this scene in his dreams after inheriting his father's title of duke and the land, surrounded by enemy armies, and he was helpless but to sit and wait for death.

"I will gather the army of guards in the castle. Go to the town and defeat the robbers. The captain of the guard, a brave and conscientious man, straightened up and addressed Duke Able.

"But the captain is so dark, what if he is ambushed by the enemy?" At this time, several of the court officials of the Duke of Abel were also awakened, and they also came here to check, and heard that the captain was going to take these guards to fight, and they were afraid that they would be in an ambush by an unnamed enemy, and that their situation would be extremely dangerous without the soldiers to protect them.

"Lord Duke, let's wait until dawn before sending someone out of the castle to check." The aristocratic courtiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death raised their promises to the duke.

"But what about the townsfolk who should be protected by me?" Duke Abel pointed painfully in the direction of the noisy town and said to his courtiers.

"God will bless them, and it is the will of the Lord." The nobles stretched out their hands and drew a cross on their chests. They don't care if the civilians live or die. No amount of lowly blood is worth the risk on them.

Under the advice of the courtiers, the Duke of Abel had to stand still, and the whole night was unbearable in fear and screaming, and when the sky finally turned white, the iron gates of the castle slowly opened. A troop of guards from Fort Mason walked out of the castle under the leadership of the captain of the guard. But by this time there was only a looted sight left in the town. Innocent civilians who had been killed were strewn through the streets, weeping widows were weeping over the corpses of their husbands, and several merchants' shops were burned.

"Damn it. . The captain of the guard looked at the scene in front of him angrily, mounted on his mount, and slapped his thigh hard.

Although Count Rauzitz was the one who asked the mercenary Viking warriors to find the Assassin Guild, the Assassin Guild hidden in the darkness was not so easy to find, and as a result, the Viking warriors searched around like headless flies, and the night and the frightened crowd aroused the bloodthirsty nature of the Viking warriors, and the inhabitants of Mason Town suffered an unwarranted disaster.

"Did Count Lauzitz do it?" Duke Able's eyes widened, looking at the mayor of Mason town kneeling in front of him, Mason town is protected by a wooden wall, but it is precisely because the person who came is led by the banner of Count Lauzitz that the mayor of the town relaxed his vigilance and put a group of hungry wolves into Mason town to cause a catastrophe.

"Yes, Honorable Earl, Woo Woo, those Viking warriors each bear the family crest of Count Rausitz with a striking eye-catch, and they are the same group of Viking warriors hired by the Count." The mayor of Mason wept and complained to the Duke of Abel that his home had not escaped the disaster and had been sacked by the Vikings.

"Call Count Lauzitz, and I'm going to ask him what he really wants to do?" Duke Abel was furious, slamming his hand on the armrest of the lord's chair and roaring in the hall of the lord at Fort Mason.

"Hmm." The courtiers standing in the hall of the lord were silent, many of them received bribes from Count Lautz, and they did not excuse Count Lauzitz on weekdays, but last night's incident Count Lauzitz really went too far, no wonder Duke Abel was so angry.

"Honorable Duke, please calm your anger for a moment, and allow me to ask the mayor." Baron Bruce thought about it at this time, and seemed to have made a lot of determination, and walked out of the ranks of the courtiers and said to Duke Able.

"Baron Bruce? Well, if you have anything to say, just ask the mayor. The Duke of Abel had to give face to his father's old courtier, so he nodded and sat down, and the attendants on the side hurriedly brought the Duke a glass of wine to quench his thirst.

"Did Mayor Marew see Count Lauzitz present last night?" Baron Bruce asked.

"Not really, for a stocky man, who said he had entered the town on the orders of Count Lauzitz in search of some robbers." The mayor of the town reported truthfully to Baron Bruce.

"So can you be sure that the so-called stocky man is the man of Count Lauzitz?" Baron Bruce asked the Mayor of Mason again.

"How can I know this?" The mayor of Mason Town said with a sad face, for these high-ranking nobles, there are not many opportunities for commoners like him to come into contact.

"I see, Lord Duke, I think this may be a private act of a mercenary, because Count Lauzitz has no motive to attack the town of Mason, so please Lord Duke not to arouse suspicion among vassals before the arrival of the Bavarian princess." Baron Bruce bowed to Duke Abel and spoke to the Duke.

"You say it's a mercenary's personal behavior?" Duke Ebel's brows furrowed, although the mercenaries sometimes cause riots because of the lack of payment, but do they really dare to attack their own towns?

"I am against the honorable Duke." At this time, someone came out of the ranks of the courtiers, and everyone saw that it was a hunchbacked man staggering, and it turned out to be Dylan with a hunchback. Matt, he raised his head and said loudly to Duke Able.

"Oh, Dylan. Matt, what do you have to say? Duke Abel nodded at him, allowing the court member to speak only as a clown.

"Lord Duke, we are discussing the topic of strictness, please forbid this clown to speak in the sacred hall." Baron Bruce said to the Duke dissatisfied.

"No, anyone should say anything about it." But the Duke of Abel ignored Baron Bruce, and seemed to realize that the influence of Count Lauszitz was really pervasive in his court.

"Thank you, Lord Duke, I think this was a premeditated attack, looking at the town, we can see that the area attacked by the Viking warriors was from the slum area, although some merchants' houses were also attacked, but most of the noble and rich areas were not affected, if it was really mercenaries who were causing trouble, why didn't they attack the more valuable rich areas, but attacked the slums with little money, so I think it was a commanded and premeditated operation." Dylan. Although Matt faltered, he spoke eloquently to everyone.

"Ridiculous, maybe it's because it's so dark, and the Vikings who are not familiar with the terrain are running around." Baron Bruce glanced at Dylan with contempt. Matt, retorted to him.

"You're right, perhaps, but it's clear that they weren't running around, first at the crossroads where they were attacked, then then inward, and the direction of the attacks was gradually extending rather than spreading, and that is telling." Dylan. Matt shook his head in disagreement with Baron Bruce.

"So why are they doing that?" That's when Dylan. Matt's words also aroused the curiosity of Duke Ebel, who touched his chin and thought deeply. (To be continued!)
