Spacious main fort with flickering lights.

Ornate candlesticks adorn the room, and the red fireplace exudes warmth to dispel the cold.

Duke Sitney stopped breathing and opened his deep pupils, and the chaotic sounds of the castle sounded clearly in his ears.

With a slight frown, he got up and walked to the white jade balcony, overlooking Baker Castle.

The moonlight was dim, and the castle rose from its silence at night, countless lights were lit, and a column of soldiers of the Lebek family wore blue armor and walked in the corridors, guarding the castle's vital positions.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Four incomparably hot flames swept over the castle in a row, tearing through the dark night, mixed with many screams and screams.

The gale blew up his gray sideburns, and Duke Sitney looked at everything in front of him with a flat expression, and methodically took out a narrow sword from the spatial ring.

The sword is more than four feet long, the cold light is flickering, the sword body has lines entangled, like scales layered on top of each other, the peculiar thing is that the hilt of the sword, inlaid with sapphires, a touch of cold breath.

"Boring tricks, striking?"

Duke Sitney chuckled, memories flowed, Baker Castle seemed to have not been invaded by foreign enemies for a long time, and tonight's events were a good lesson for the family soldiers who had been away from the war for a long time.

"Peggy, inform the Blue Guards, get ready to find those ants!"

A calm voice drifted through the room, but it didn't wait for the response Duke Sitney wanted.

With a creak, the door opened softly, and the cold wind blew, and the air gradually filled the air with the smell of patina.

Duke Sitney turned around, his long narrow sword pointed diagonally at the ground, and a crimson figure was reflected in his eyes, and suddenly, the desire for blood suddenly rose in the depths of his heart.

Bones! Bones!

There was a strange sound, and the round black and red object bounced off and rolled onto the soft carpet.

Duke Sitney looked intently, his expression gloomy, and what caught his eye was a blood-drenched and broken head, revealing a desperate old face that he was familiar with.

"Peggy? Very good old housekeeper, the strength is okay, but unfortunately I can't bear the torture, tell me where you live. Caterina said lightly, daggers dancing on her fingertips, stained with sticky blood.

"Hmm.... Are Peggy and the Blue Guard the hidden power of the Baker family? Duke of Sitney. ”

Suppressing the anger in his heart, the Duke of Sitney asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" It is a felony to openly attack the nobles of the Stoke Kingdom! ”

"Is it a felony to attack a nobleman?" Caterina sneered lightly, and the scar on her left eye looked a little fierce: "Then what is the crime of treason?" ”

Duke Sitney raised his eyebrows, and immediately realized something, in recent days, a lot of news has been transmitted from the intelligence point set up by the Baker family in Limontanlu, but only the relevant news of Lena is missing.

Now it seems that I am afraid that there will be more than one luck, and even the family's future plans will be exposed.

"Valoran Collar?!" Duke Sitney said word by word, a cold aura enveloping his body, and a little white mist condensed the air.

Except for the legendary forces of the Northlands, he could not think of any other force that would dare to offend the Baker family.

[Catapult Blade]!

The answer to Duke Sitney was a sharp dagger that swooped through space like blood-colored lightning and swooped closer.

Sonorous!

The narrow sword filled with icy energy danced, and the dagger flew away, and Duke Sitney and Caterina looked at each other, and the killing intent in their pupils was undisguised.

【Cold: Rushing】!

In the bright room, a flash of blue light suddenly appeared, and the convergence weaved an overwhelming cold current, surging towards Katarina.

Click! Click! Click!

The crisp sound of the explosion was dense, and the gilded walls, ornate candlesticks, quaint furniture, and silver ornaments were all reduced to pieces under the impact of the sword, but in an instant, the originally luxurious room fell into ruins.

"Unbeatable!"

Looking at the streamer in front of her, Caterina did not choose to retreat, her excitement was overflowing, her steps were light, she held the dagger with her backhand, and stepped forward.

The moment he advanced, the sound of blade clashing resounded through the room like an ensemble of piano music, and subtle energy fluctuations were perfectly controlled in each attack, until when it struck Duke Sitney, it was like blood spurting and unleashing wildly.

Unexpected attack methods, in the half hundred lives of the Duke of Sitney, few assassins chose such violent battles, relying more on lurking and assassination.

But it suited his heart, and as a high-level swordsman who was only one step away from the path to legend, he was particularly adept at going head-to-head.

The lights went on and off, and the battle between the two completely broke the limit of what their eyes could bear, and a vague afterimage was refracted in the distorted air.

Hidden in the seemingly gap-open posture are the subtle movements of Katerina, who is constantly adapting to the situation and trying to catch every flaw in Duke Sixny.

Soon, a bloodthirsty smile filled the corners of Katerina's mouth, and she saw in the course of the battle the ostentatious swordsmanship, the elegance and arrogance that belonged to the nobility, and superfluous movements.

Inexplicably, seeing Katerina's smile, Duke Sitney's heart trembled slightly, and he wanted to withdraw the narrow sword in front of him, but he was a step too late.

Phew!

A sharp dagger slashed across his face, and a few drops of crystal blood splattered into the air, reflecting the magical light.

"That's all there is to it?" Caterina bent slightly, dagger dancing in her hand, wild eyes releasing an astonishing battle intent. "A high-level profession that has taken the essence of legends, a half-step legend?"

"Much weaker than I thought!"

Hearing the mocking words, Duke Sitney's left hand, which had been covering the scars on his face, was gently lowered, his expression was a little hideous, and a little blood dripped down the carpet between his fingers.

[Cold: Explosion]!

Holding the sword in his chest, a thick cold current exploded at Duke Sitney's feet, as if awakening the frost energy flowing in the air, forming a winter storm behind him that swept through the room.

[Cold: Collapse of the Sky]!

Duke Sitney stepped forward, his narrow sword stabbing out.

Thundered!

An ice-blue avalanche appeared out of thin air, densely filling the room, accompanied by a huge roar, like a real disaster in the snow-capped mountains, from virtual to real, in less than a second.

The huge impact of the snowstorm turned into a blue monster, frantically shattering all obstacles in front of it, and then gathered all the strength to press Catalina towards the center point.

And Katerina's response was simple.

She was like an afterimage of crimson and cold light, and her perfect skill and inner battle intent were injected into her slashes again and again with equal power, facing the terrifying avalanche that was rushing towards her.

The ice-blue avalanche is even colder and more powerful than Katerina's firestorm.

Boom!

A dull thud sounded quietly, and Caterina flew upside down from the room and slammed into the corridor, red blood spilling onto the frost-covered carpet.

The grand scene of the battle at the main fort attracted the attention of many soldiers of the Baker family, and they tried to rush over, but they were attacked by death on the bluestone path in front of the main fort.

The Ominous Blade Legionnaires haunt the Killings in the shadows of the darkness, frantically harvesting the lives of the soldiers, dripping blood on the dirt, and no one can get close to the main fort.

"Whew! It seems that you are weaker than me in comparison! ”

In the dilapidated room, Duke Sitney gasped and laughed quietly, his face scarred like a resurrected centipede, which looked a little terrifying.

Moving slightly, Duke Sitney walked towards the collapsed corridor, and he looked extremely sarcastic when he saw the dagger that fell to the ground.

"It's time to finish, Valoran-led assassin, you've chosen the wrong target!"

"It's time for the end."

Cold words came from the ruined corridors, causing Duke Sitney to pause.

In the next moment, the crimson figure rushed out of the collapsed corridor, and in the haze, Duke Sitney saw an extreme red glow.

[Instantaneous]!

Caterina crossed the distance of space and flickered to the side of Duke Sitney, her eyes rich in blood.

[Greed]!

The red life energy wrapped around the dagger on the ground and retracted into Caterina's palm, leaving a hideous scar on Duke Sitney's body.

Looking up at the close enemy, Caterina smiled and gripped the dagger tightly.

"Dance of the Blades!"

【Death Lotus Blossom】!

[Death Lotus: Caterina transforms into a hurricane of blades, quickly swinging the dagger at the nearest enemy target, and each swing of the dagger will deal terrifying damage to the target.] 】

From stillness to movement, Caterina resembles a dancer in the court, swinging her dagger at great speed, and her seamless movements are connected with the crimson life energy to release a devastating and delicate flower.

The blade cuts through the air, the cut opens the blockage, and then the air again.

Then, countless drops of dark red blood slowly bloomed in the icy air.

Brilliant and dazzling!

With the inertia of her movements, Catalina brushed shoulders with Duke Sitney and delicately plucked off her frightened and desperate head.

Boom!

The headless corpse fell to the ground, and the blood gushing out of its neck rendered the snow and frost on the ground, and the bright red and white were mixed together, looking strangely beautiful.

Caterina stood in the ruined room, staring at Baker Castle in the chaos of flames, and laughed softly, intoxicatingly, but unfortunately no one could see it.

She also saw the results of the killings of the Legionnaires of the Oinous Blades, with piles of corpses paving the way.

Caterina's mission was simple, assassinating the main members of the Baker family, leaving the Baker family in an internal struggle for power, which led to chaos in the southern provinces, leaving no time to worry about the war in the Northlands and the division of the Stoke kingdom.

The first step has been successfully completed, and the Duke of Sitney, the current head of the Baker family, has confirmed his death, and it is now the turn of the descendants.

This is different from the time when Valoran led the destruction of the Jeffrey family, which was to fully occupy the territory and interests of the Jeffrey family, and now Caterina has only done assassination, but it seems to be working well.

At least by the end of tonight, the Bakers' civil strife will spread to the Southern Provinces.

This is because the interests of the Baker family are too large, and they still have the strength to protect their own interests before tonight, but now the chaos is gradually rising, and it is no longer in the past.

"The killing continues!"

Caterina leaped lightly and disappeared into the darkness of the night, as the Ominous Blade legionnaires in front of the main fortress disappeared.

After a few more moments, there were exclamations from Baker Castle, the headless body of Duke Sitney was found, and then the descendants of the Baker family continued to die in the flames.
