Chapter 119: The Serpent of Shadows
"The Serpent of Shadows?"
Not only Viscount Fergus, but also Master Duru and the captain of the Sidney family's escort team, when they saw this black black snake tattoo, they also looked ugly and exclaimed.
Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Gray had a bad premonition in his heart and hurriedly asked.
"Father, what exactly is the Serpent of Shadows?"
Hearing Gray's inquiry, Viscount Fergus frowned and said after a moment.
"This is an extremely vicious killer organization in the Purple Moon Kingdom, claiming that as long as you give money, you will accept any kind of assassination commission."
"As long as you give money, no matter what kind of assassination commission you have?!"
In just one sentence, Gray felt the madness of this organization, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
Dare to accept any kind of assassination commission, this seemingly crazy and reckless move, does not show the strength and self-confidence of this organization?
If it did not have the corresponding strength, how could this assassination organization release such a slogan?
And now, this assassination organization seems to be targeting the Fergus family because of the animal control drug, so won't it be in the future?
"I didn't expect that after so many years, the Shadow Serpent would reappear, and this time there are probably not a few families who have been assassinated."
Master Durou's face was gloomy.
"There are not a few families who have been assassinated?"
Gray looked at Master Duru in confusion.
"Master Duru, what's going on? Isn't the purpose of this assassination organization to control animal drugs this time? ”
"It should be, but the beast control potion should only be incidental, and the main purpose of the Shadow Serpent should be revenge."
Master Dulu said with a calm face.
"Revenge ......?"
Gray's doubts grew more and more in his mind.
Listening to Master Duru's tone, there seems to be some kind of feud between the Shadow Serpent and the nobles of the Marquis of Sidney.
"More than twenty years ago, the Marquis of Sidney had seven viscount families."
Sighing slightly, Viscount Fergus said.
"In addition to the current six viscount families, there is also a viscount family called Coot."
"However, this Viscount family was destroyed overnight, and it was the Shadow Serpent, a killer organization, that attacked."
Viscount Fergus continued after a slight pause.
"Because of this incident, the previous Marquis of Sidney was furious and attacked many strongholds of the Shadow Serpent, causing the Shadow Serpent to suffer heavy losses and had to hide to recover its strength, and now that it has reappeared, it should be intended to take revenge on our families who participated in the beginning."
"Angered the Marquis of Sidney's family, and now he is back, ready to take revenge on all the families involved......"
Gray's face turned slightly pale.
From the words of Viscount Fergus, it is not difficult to reveal the strength of this organization.
Maybe this organization is weaker than the Sidney family, but it is definitely not much weaker, otherwise it is impossible to escape from the Sidney family and infiltrate the Sidney Marquis again to take revenge.
Everyone went to the basement to meet Bernal and the others.
Talking about the assassination coming from the Shadow Serpent organization, and the past of this organization and the Marquis of Sidney, everyone's faces couldn't help but change, and the joy of defeating the assassin disappeared in an instant.
If the Serpent of Shadows and the Marquis of Sidney really had such a deep relationship, this assassination was probably just the beginning, far from the end.
Fearing that the Assassins would return again, the group ended up in the basement and laid out the floor for the night.
The next day, in the living room of Fergus Castle.
The Fergus family, Master Duru, Polly, and the six remaining Sidney family guards are all here.
News from all over the marquisdom came one after another through the messenger bird, and each news was shocking.
The Baron de Birel family, which had been divided by the Sidney family, was assassinated, Baron Birrell was assassinated, all the descendants of the Birrel family were killed, and the Birrell family was destroyed.
The family of Baron Rupert was assassinated, Baron Robert was assassinated, all the descendants of the Robert family were killed, none of them lived, and the Robert family was destroyed.
The Viscount Richens family was assassinated, and the Assassins were repelled by the Richens.
Viscount Locke's family was assassinated, and Viscount Locke was wounded.
The Besemers were assassinated, and the Assassins were repulsed by the Besemers.
The family of Baron Puri was assassinated, Baron Puri was assassinated, all the descendants of the Puri family were spared, and the Puri family was destroyed.
The Earl of Smalley was assassinated, the Earl of Smalley was slightly wounded, and the Assassins were repelled by the Smally family.
The Ford family was assassinated, and the assassins were repelled by the Ford family.
……
"Three baronial families have already perished?"
In the corner of the living room, Gray looked serious.
By now, they had received news of the destruction of the three baronial families, and in addition to the news that many families had been attacked and injured.
Sure enough, as Master Duru said last night, there are not a few families who have been assassinated, and the Shadow Serpent organization is indeed here to take revenge on the nobles of the Marquis of Sidney.
So far, from the Baron family to the Earl family, there have been assassinations, and the strength of this organization has been seen.
"At least three Berserker-level powerhouses!"
Among the Shadow Serpents, there are at least three Berserkers of this level, or even above.
The purple-haired man who escaped from Fergus Castle yesterday is counted as one, and the leader of the assassins who assassinated the Ford family and the Smalley family should also have the strength of berserkers.
After all, both Earl Ford and Earl Smalley are berserkers, and if they want to assassinate two people, their strength is at least at the level of berserkers.
"There should be more than ten blood warriors at this level."
On the side of the Fergus family, there are four fierce blood warriors, plus those who assassinated the two Earl families, and those who assassinated several viscount families, it is certain that there are more than ten fierce blood warriors at this level.
"In other words, the Shadow Serpent has at least these three berserkers, and more than ten bloodies......"
Coming to this minimum strength speculation, Gray suddenly had a tingling sensation on his scalp.
This strength is not weak, although it is not comparable to the Sidney family, but it is already quite close.
Moreover, this is only the minimum strength of the Shadow Serpent, although so far, there have not been assassins of the Wildblood Warrior level, it does not mean that there is no such possibility.
Knock, knock, knock!
Hurried footsteps approached outside the living room, and Nick, the butler, pushed the door open, holding a folded piece of letter in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Viscount Fergus.
Viscount Fergus took it, opened the folded letterhead, and the next moment, his face was full of astonishment, and he did not say anything for a long time.
"Father, what is the news?"
Seeing Viscount Fergus like this, Bernal couldn't help but ask anxiously, and everyone looked at him.
Viscount Fergus came back to his senses and said with an extremely solemn face.
"Viscount Shelly was assassinated, and all the descendants of the Shelly family were killed, that is to say, the Shelly family was destroyed!"
Rumble!
Like a thunderclap, everyone in the living room had a look of shock on their faces, just like Viscount Fergus just now, and no one made a sound for half of the sound.
"The Viscount of Shelly has fallen, and the first Viscount family to be destroyed has appeared!!"
Gray's heart was pounding.
After hearing about the collapse of the Baron family before, he had a thought in his heart, will the Viscount family be destroyed?
And now, there is really a destroyed Viscount family!
There is no doubt that the Shadow Serpent's revenge is far more violent than imagined.
"The Shelly family has actually been destroyed?!"
Bernal's face was complicated.
Originally, because of the dispute between the earls, the Fergus family and other viscount families have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and the relationship can be described as incompatible, and they wish that the other viscount families would be destroyed, so that there would be one less competitor.
But at this time, he didn't have the slightest sense of schadenfreude, although the position of earl was good, but he had to be able to survive, if he couldn't survive the assassination of the Shadow Serpent, everything else would be in vain.
"The Shelly Family...... Perished? ”
Polly covered her red lips and her eyes widened.
Last night, she heard that the assassin was from the Shadow Serpent, and that the assassinated family must not be the Fergus family, although she was uneasy, she still held a trace of luck.
Maybe this was just the Shadow Serpent's action against the Beast Control Agent? The other families were not assassinated?
But since this morning, news has come one after another, breaking her luck, and the news of the assassination of the family has come one after another, and later there are three baronial families destroyed.
And now, even the Viscount family has been wiped out, you must know that the Viscount family, even in the Marquis of Sidney, can no longer be counted as a small family, but it is still destroyed, you can imagine the seriousness of this Shadow Serpent stabbing incident.
In the living room, Master Duru frowned.
The captain of the Sidney Family Guard looked solemn.
Madame Milan's face was slightly pale and stiff.
Sarah's body trembled slightly, and Gray couldn't help but put his hand on her shoulder, whispering comfort.
……
Everyone looked serious and dignified, and the news came one after another, but all the bad news came.
Knock knock!
At this moment, there was another sound of hurried footsteps outside the living room, and then the butler Nick pushed the door in again, also holding a folded letter in his hand, and walked quickly towards Viscount Fergus.
