Chapter 121: Infiltration
Putting on his battle suit, sword in hand, and a cloak on the outside, Gray and the man named Edges left Fergus Castle.
After half an hour of riding around the city of Fergus, they entered a small village.
"Captain."
"Captain."
……
The small village is supposed to be the stronghold of the hidden power of the Fergus family, and as soon as the two of them arrived in the village, a number of strong men appeared, greeted Edge, and looked at Gray with curious eyes.
With a nod, Age led Gray into a house made of stone slabs, in which there were two men.
One of the men was dark-skinned and had short, grayish-brown hair.
The other man, with his head bare, was shiny and shiny, as if he could reflect the light like a mirror.
"Master Gray, these are the other two captains besides me, this is Watt, this is Kim."
Gray nodded and beckoned to the two.
"Hello two!"
"This is Master Gray!"
Edge, in turn, introduces Gray to the two of them.
"Master Gray!"
After hearing this, there was a trace of strangeness in their hearts, they didn't understand why Gray appeared here, but they both saluted Gray respectfully.
"Captain, do you have any mission?"
Then, Watt, a short-haired, dark-skinned man, asked.
"Well, the Viscount ordered us to assassinate Hank Jason of Viscount Oliver tonight, Young Master Gray is already a high-ranking blood warrior, and he will also participate in this assassination operation."
Aitch nodded.
"Superior Blood Warrior?"
Watt, a short-haired, dark-skinned man, and Kim, a bald-headed man, looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
It is rumored that this Young Master Gray is the most talented person in the Fergus family, and now it seems that this is really the case, so young, he is already a high-ranking blood warrior.
"Captain, then I'm going to get the brothers ready?"
Watt, a short-haired, dark-skinned man, spoke.
He didn't say anything like Gray would drag him back, what kind of joke, a high-ranking blood warrior would drag them back like a person who is mostly a low-level blood warrior, or even a low-level blood warrior who is not even strong enough to do so?
Because the captain is a high-ranking blood warrior, they know very well the strength of the high-ranking blood warrior, and with this kind of strength, even if they don't have the corresponding assassination experience, their performance will never be weaker than that of a median blood warrior like them.
"Well, go ahead!"
Edged nodded, saying that Gray's strength as a blood warrior was naturally intentional on his part.
As a team, trust is the most basic, and if you can't trust each other and don't dare to give your back to your peers during the operation, it may lead to the failure of the operation.
He pointed out the strength of Gray's superior blood warrior to tell the two of them that Gray would never be a drag on them.
Half an hour later, plus Gray, a group of more than 30 men, left the village and rode eastwards towards the Oliver family.
An hour later, they arrived at the border between the Fergus and Oliver families.
Unable to make too much noise, they parked their horses at the border, left a few men to guard them, and entered the Viscounty of Oliver on foot.
Among the people present, the weakest was also close to the lower blood warriors, and the speed of the journey was naturally not slow, and when the sun went down, they avoided the crowd and arrived at the residence close to the Jason family.
The Jason family is a family of lords, with seven villages and a small town in their fiefdom, and the Jason family is in the center of the only town, and they are now in the bushes outside the town.
"Master Gray, the town is too small, and if an outsider appears, it will be discovered immediately, so I am prepared to wait until it gets dark before entering."
Next to Gray, Edgey explained to Gray.
Although Viscount Fergus has already said that the leader of the team is still him, Gray is the young master of the Fergus family after all, so he naturally needs to ask for advice.
"Captain Edge, you can arrange it, this operation, my father asked me to listen to your arrangement."
Gray naturally understands that this time should be arranged by the "professionals".
"Yes."
Seeing that Gray didn't mean to "call the shots", Age breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't care about controlling the team, but he was worried that Gray had no assassination experience before, and if he gave some inappropriate orders, it would not be good to obey them, and it would not be good to obey them.
Now it seems that this young master does not have the arrogance of ordinary geniuses, but is unusually mature and steady.
When night fell, a purple crescent moon appeared in the sky, sprinkling wisps of purple moonlight, casting a hazy purple light over the town.
In the town, every house closes its doors and windows, and through the stitches of the doors and windows, sporadic lights shine through.
"Let's go!"
Edgey beckoned, and led the way out of the obscuring bushes and slowly dived towards the town.
Everyone, including Gray, came out of the bushes everywhere and followed him.
At this time, everyone had a black cloth cover over their heads, and the cover covered their heads completely, and only opened three holes in the places where their eyes and mouths were.
Illuminated by purple moonlight, everyone walked along the road in the middle of the town, trying not to make too much noise, towards the center of the town.
The town with a population of less than 1,000 people was not very large, and in just a few minutes, a building appeared in their sight.
The building is much larger than the other buildings in the town, covering thousands of square meters and surrounded by a stone wall more than three meters high.
This is where the Jason family lives.
"Stop!"
Raising his hand to signal everyone to stop, Edge, alone, felt towards the wall.
As he approached the wall, he jumped lightly under his feet and grasped the top of the wall with a slight grasp of his hand, and easily turned over and jumped onto the wall.
The whole process was silent, and even Gray and the others, who had been paying attention to him, did not hear any movement.
He looked around the wall, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to follow, while he jumped off the wall and entered the wall.
Gray and the others approached the wall, and they all used their own means to climb over the wall and enter the building.
Gray, along with Kim and Watt, jumped lightly, just like Edge, and jumped into the wall.
Others, on the other hand, work in pairs, one of them acts as a stepping stone, and the other climbs up the wall, and then on the wall, the companion who will become the stepping stone pulls it up, and then jumps off the wall and into the wall.
"Whew-"
Although he is only a lord, he is still a nobleman after all, and there are soldiers patrolling the interior.
The two patrolling soldiers, patrolling to this location, had not had time to say a word before the person who had first spotted them had covered their mouths and twisted their necks.
"Kim, you take a team of people to clear the patrolling soldiers, be careful not to make too much noise."
After seeing that everyone had passed through the wall, Aitch whispered to the bald man Kim.
"Yes."
The bald man Kim immediately left with more than a dozen people, while the rest, including Gray, led by Edge, sneaked towards the brightest place in the building.
As they approached, Aitch stretched out his hand to signal the group to stop, and he, Watt, and Gray slowly approached.
Gray approached the brightest part of the window, tilting his head slightly, looking through the mixed-colored glass window.
I saw a room of more than 100 square meters, with a round table, and three people sat in three directions of the round table.
A middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, and a young man.
All three had a steak in front of them, and it was clear that the three were enjoying dinner.
"It's him!"
From Gray's direction, he could just see the face of a middle-aged man, a man with a thin face and brown-yellow eyes, and Gray recognized this middle-aged man at a glance as Hank Jason, who had assassinated him in the first place.
He couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and snorted coldly in his heart.
"All three of them are here, just right."
The reason why they chose to infiltrate just after nightfall, rather than sneaking into the assassination in the dead of night, was to choose the time when the three of them were together.
In the dead of night, although it is the time of minimum alert, it is easy to cause other targets who have not yet been assassinated to wake up and flee because of their unsynchronized actions.
And because they don't know the internal structure of the Jason family's residence, and they don't know which room is Hank Jason's room, they can't arrange assassination.
If you are unlucky, the personnel who arranged the assassination of Hank Jason are too weak, and you will be counterkilled by Hank Jason.
So they chose this time of night when they could accurately find their target.
"I broke the window and entered, and Master Gray and Watt broke in!"
Edge gestured to the window and door, gesturing to Gray and Watt.
Gray and Watt both nodded knowingly and crept towards the door.
Click!
Boom!
The sound of glass shattering, the sound of the door being kicked open, sounded almost simultaneously.
Then, the three Gray swooped into the room quickly, swooping down on their respective targets.
Gray and Edge's assassination of Hank Jason, while Watt's assassination of young men and middle-aged women, and the rest of the people outside, is to kill soldiers and servants who hear the movement and rush over.
"Who?"
The sudden huge movement made the faces of the three people in the room change, and Hank Jason suddenly stood up and asked loudly.
He was answered by Edge's long, blackened knife that quickly slashed towards his neck.
"Humph!"
He lifted the round table, and the dinner on it was scattered all over the floor, and he himself used the round table as a weapon and threw it at Edge.
Sting!
The round table was split in half, but Aitch was temporarily stopped by the smashed round table.
Swish!
At this moment, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared, quickly slashing towards Hank Jason.
The white and deep sword body, under the light, the cold light shone, like a cold light.
It was Gray who rushed in through the door.
