The chaotic situation finally made the magnates of the Banshee Castle feel the tension of the battle. They began to seriously consider the reality of the imminent outbreak of war, especially since the enemy was building fortresses faster than expected.

"If you want to compete with the speed of building a fortress, you have to spend money." Bishop stood on the balcony of his mansion, looking down at a broken wheel scattered along the street.

A few nights ago, because of the false news of the coming war, the whole city was in a commotion. In the middle of the night, hundreds of powerful families living in the city suddenly drove onto the road, ready to flee to the imaginary safety.

There was no command, no organization, and even the news that spread was contradictory, so you can imagine how chaotic it was that night. The wheels on the side of the street fell that night, and I don't know whose carriage broke down?

In addition, because the night was too chaotic, two big people were found dead the next day.

An old baron was killed in his own carriage, and the body fell in the arms of his mistress. The young and beautiful mistress was still dreaming of becoming a baroness, but she was splashed with blood by a baron in her sixties.

When Bishop saw the mistress, the pear blossoms who were crying brought rain, and deliberately leaned his plump breasts against him, trying to change the baron as a backer. He didn't think much of it and smiled.

At the inspection scene, the old baron was cut by a sharp blade through the major artery on the side of the neck, a very precise knife. The magic armor he was wearing was also instantly broken, indicating that the murderer's weapon had a demon-breaking effect and was very ruthless.

This is not the death caused by ordinary street fights, it is definitely the work of first-rate assassins.

The old baron left behind a large fortune after his death, and the war for property has broken out. In addition to the original heirs, a bunch of illegitimate children also jumped out.

The second one who died was a big grain merchant, who was also killed in a panic at night. There were more than a dozen adventurers around him who acted as bodyguards, but they didn't stop at all.

The negligent bodyguards later told Bishop about the situation, saying that they were shrouded in a sudden dark spell. The sorcerer in the bodyguard used flashing magic to dispel the darkness, and the fat pig-like grain merchant was also cut open to the large artery on the side of the neck.

The bodyguards swore that it was only three seconds from darkness to flash. They reacted very quickly, but they didn't even see the shadow of the murderer. It can only show that the gap between the offensive and defensive positions is too large, and there is no defense at all.

Behind the grain merchant is the largest group of elites in Banshee Castle, and after death, they also face the division of family property. This time, it was not the infighting of the heirs, but the jumping out of more than a dozen powerful people who participated in the shares.

This is by no means an ordinary death, let alone an accident in chaos.

His Excellency Friedman was furious the day after the incident, saying that he would find out the murderer and punish him severely, and that he would never sit idly by and watch such a vicious incident happen again. But he froze the property of the two deceased, confiscating it to be exact.

Behind his back, Friedman called Bishop to make a big compliment, saying that he had found a good Assassin, that the timing was very good, that he had done it cleanly, that he had left no flaws, and that he wanted to meet the Assassin so that he would not accidentally sneak into the City Lord's Mansion.

Bishop was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do. He wasn't looking for the Assassin at all, but the account of the dead was on him. The two who were killed were the same fools who had made their names with the city lord.

Alas......, what a headache.

Friedman currently needs a large amount of gold to bolster his army, including paying for more than a dozen coalition armies in the Northlands. These expenses can be fully covered by the Banshee Castle.

In addition, the monsters of the Black Forest are building fortresses, not only in Fog Town, but also on many transportation arteries including Green Valley Town. Once built, these forts could be used not only for defense, but also for offense.

I have to say Victor. Hugo played this hand beautifully, and made a mess of the nobles of the Northlands, and originally thought of slow and logical mobilization, but now it can't be.

The construction of the fortress in the middle of the winter is incredible in itself, and no one really can think of it. But in order to resist Hugo's fortress attack, the Banshee Castle must also repair the fortress accordingly. Again, it costs money.

Bishop's current job is not so much to punish 'fools' as to raise money for Friedman's war effort. But he didn't know who was 'helping' him behind his back.

There are many enemies of the two deceased, and they can be called bad deeds from any point of view, and they are innocent of death. But if you can invite a first-rate assassin, this matter is definitely not as simple as imagined.

Not long after standing on the verandah, the servant came to tell him that the carriage was ready. Bishop had to rush to the city's prison, where he captured two smugglers, the 'genius' smugglers who used the corpse wagon to transport the goods.

"Why are there always idiots who use the corpse collector's wagon to transport goods? How many times has this old-fashioned method been checked? These two stupid thieves are simply insulting my intelligence. ”

Bishop went out and got into the carriage, which was started by the coachman. He sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and pondered, thinking about how he would clean up the two idiots he would see later, and how he would find out the supporters behind them one by one.

"This should be able to uncover more money, half a million or even millions of gold coins, which should be able to support the upcoming war of the Buchi family."

Bishop silently calculated the possible benefits in his heart, and also calculated whether he still had use value afterwards. Win or lose this war, there will definitely be a reckoning in Banshee Castle.

"Either the enemy reckons us or we liquidate ourselves. Maybe I should also consider making a profit from it so that I can leave when the time is right. ”

The wheels rumbled over the road, and there were accompanying knights in front of and behind the car. There were three carriages in the group, and Bishop rode on one of them at random - he had been very careful lately for fear that an inexplicable Assassin would come to his door.

"Master, the wizard in front of us told us to slow down." The guard next to the carriage approached the carriage and delivered the news.

"What do you mean?" Bishop opened his eyes in the carriage, "What does that new prophetic wizard want to do?" ”

"He said someone was snooping with arcane and wanted us to ......"

The Guardian Knight's words were halfway through. A large, tattered wooden box was thrown on the side of the road where the carriage passed, and suddenly there was a violent explosion.

A hemispherical shockwave appeared out of thin air and spread rapidly to the surrounding area. The entire street crumbled in the face of the shock wave, and the houses near the explosion site had collapsed with collapsed walls, and the roofs were torn off and flew into the sky.

The loud noise was accompanied by thick smoke, which quickly enveloped most of the street, and outsiders could no longer see the inside clearly. But the violent tremors from the explosion quickly spread throughout the city, causing endless panic.

Adrian held up his binoculars on the roof of the building hundreds of meters away, and after a moment he could feel the air currents of the shock wave. He shouted in surprise: "The lord still said that this explosive is not powerful? Is this still called less powerful? It's going to blow up the whole street. ”

Mondino and Old Banker next to them were also stunned and stunned for a long time. The Chief Necromancy asked the Chief Prophecy, "Are you sure you can avoid such an attack?" ”

The Chief Prophecy smiled bitterly, "It's better to avoid being the target of this kind of attack." ”
