Chapter 85 Killing Chickens and Monkeys
"Of course, this is possible, but in this way, we are afraid that we will offend more nobles, and in the long run, I am afraid that we will invest more costs. Rednor thought for a moment and said.
"The nobles are brutal and greedy, and when we are weak, they are ferocious tigers who want to devour our flesh and feed their bellies.
Once our strength grows, they will transform into cunning foxes, wagging their tails after us and begging for mercy, hoping that we will give them some scraps.
We don't have an official status in the province of Lorelo, and because of Coubert, we can't go through the safe Loya Canyon, so we can only operate in the shadows.
In the face of the local aristocracy, even if we repeatedly make concessions, we will not be able to satisfy their greedy appetite at all. Donn said.
"Having said that, once we do something to Viscount Monroe, we are afraid that we will completely anger the local nobles.
Although these local nobles are full of contradictions, they are connected by vines, and they have been intermarried for hundreds of years.
Moreover, these nobles are basically the same on this issue, we are outsiders, and it is difficult for us to integrate into the local area without long-term operation.
Once we kill Monroe, I am afraid that these noble rabbits and foxes will not be willing to cooperate with us, and even trigger a greater backlash, so that the good situation created in the early months will be ruined. Redno said.
"I have also considered these questions, and from what I know of the nature of the nobility, these greedy foxes only think of profit.
As long as we deal with Monroe cleanly, they may not be willing to stand up for Monroe. Moreover, we are only assassinating Monroe, not destroying the territory of the Monroe family, so as to deter them and not drive the local nobles into a corner. Don patted the table and said.
"Okay, now that you've made your decision, when are we going to do it?" asked Rednor.
"First investigate the strength of some Monroe families, and by the way, check Viscount Monroe's hobbies, activity patterns, and try to do it outside the castle. Donn said.
"I have just been to Viscount Monroe's territory, and the Monroe family has two silver-level professionals, one is the son-in-law of Viscount Monroe, and the other is the nephew of Viscount Monroe.
In addition to the two silver ranks, the Monroe family also has six bronze-level professionals, as for whether there is any hidden power, it is impossible to find out if it is not a long-term investigation. Redno said.
"Do you know the rules of Monroe's activities, is there a silver-level professional around him to protect him?" asked Don with a raised eyebrow.
"Monroe's nephew Abel has a deep conflict with him, Abel lives in Count Paul's castle all the year round, if it weren't for Viscount Monroe's life-and-death crisis, Abel would not have been dispatched at all.
If we kill Monroe, it will only do Abel good.
If Monroe dies, Able may inherit the title and become the master of the Monroe family. Redno carefully analyzed.
"It seems that our main opponent is Monroe's son-in-law, how high is this person's rank? If it exceeds level ten, the risk will be too great, so that we can only give Viscount Monroe a part of the benefits and stabilize him temporarily. Donn said.
"Judging from the information outside, Monroe's son-in-law, Casey, is an eighth-level warrior. Casey often had to sit in the castle and was not always Viscount Monroe's bodyguard. Redno said.
"That's very easy, when Viscount Monroe walks out of the castle, we will do it immediately, and evacuate quickly after the deed, without leaving any traces. Don En immediately made up his mind and said.
Don and the others rested for the night, and the next day Donne, John, Bruce, Field, and Rednor rode fast horses to the Monroe family's castle.
Because it was an assassination operation, Tang En and the others did not carry other manpower, and all the people who dispatched were elite professionals.
Relying on the five of them, although it is impossible to occupy the castle of the Monro family, if it is necessary to assassinate Viscount Monroe, the certainty of success will still be great.
Viscount Monroe is a greedy and cruel mediocre lord, and if it weren't for the support of his son-in-law Casey, I'm afraid his title would have been taken away by his nephew Abel.
It is impossible for such a cruel and debaucherous lord to live in a cramped castle every day. Just the next day, Viscount Monroe hurried out of the castle with a dozen knights and servants.
Don and Rednor didn't expect things to go so smoothly, they were going to continue to hide for a while, but they didn't expect to find an opportunity the next day.
Before Viscount Monroe could go far, Tang En and the others couldn't wait to ride a fast horse and quickly kill Viscount Monroe.
The sound of horses' hooves sounding in bursts.
Viscount Monroe was feeling strange when he saw five knights running out of a jungle three miles away from the castle.
Although these knights were poorly armed, they had a powerful momentum under the sound of horses' hooves, as if thousands of horses were slaughtering.
"It's not good, it's a professional, the other party is not good, the viscount runs. A professional who had served the Viscount's family for generations had a look of horror on his face, and finally remembered his duty and shouted loudly.
Although Viscount Monroe was brutal, he was just an ordinary person, and when he encountered an assassin, he was already frightened and shouted: "You stop the robbers first, and I will go back to the castle to ask for help from Casey, and ask him to bring someone to support you." ”
Monroe clumsily turned the horse's head, frantically whipped the horse under his crotch, and galloped wildly in the direction of the castle.
Between the flying needles and the lines, Tang En and the others rode horses to kill.
Bruno stretched his bow and arrows, and although the man was still on horseback, the bow and arrows in his hand were still accurate. He aimed his arrow at the sky and fired an arrow at Viscount Monroe using the projectile method.
Although the distance is more than a kilometer, it is already beyond the range of the Serpent's Horn Bow, but using the means of projectile, Bruce still has a way to increase the range to a kilometer away.
Even if you shoot arrows like this, the accuracy is slightly reduced, and the lethality is a little insufficient, and when you fight with a professional, the feathered arrows shot in this way do not pose any threat at all.
Viscount Monroe was not a professional, and although he was brutal to his people, he was no different from the Demon King of Hell.
But when he is threatened, his courage is not much better than that of a rabbit.
Bruce shot an arrow, leaving a beautiful parabola in the sky, accurately hitting the running warhorse.
Monroe's horse neighed under his crotch, staggered and continued to run a few steps, and fell to the ground with all his strength.
Viscount Monroe was a big fat man of more than two hundred pounds, his body was very bulky, and he was crushed by the fallen war horse, and his legs were crushed on the spot.
Viscount Monroe screamed miserably, looked at the people who were getting closer and closer, and shouted in the direction of the castle in horror: "Casey, help me!"
