"Good brother, brother on the periphery, there is an Imperial knight who ran out of the back door of the castle in disheveled clothes......"

At the gates of Wolfyn Castle, Leon and Ramon were waiting for the gates to open—they had only a few dozen men with them, and it was impossible for them to breach a well-guarded castle.

But they are now imperial knights, and they are the emperor's own army, so of course they can swagger through the main gate and enter the city directly......

In fact, Sist's running away was watched by Ramon's men.

Although he had walked through the back door of Wolwin Castle, Ramon's men were all Assassins, all of whom were accustomed to entering and exiting through various back doors or secret passages, and for them, the back door was much more conspicuous than the front door......

However, this guy was a thief who ran fast, and Ramon's men didn't know whether to chase him or not, and the man disappeared in a blink of an eye.

What does it mean that a group of Imperial Knights are coming, and there are Imperial Knights running away from the city?

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't this imperial knight in the city greet his brothers with tears in his eyes, and then complain about his grievances, and then show his loyalty to Emperor Marius?

Ramon knew very well that this abnormal reaction could only show that the Imperial knight who ran away had done something unseemly, and it was most likely done in partnership with Rimuske.

But since someone ran away so quickly, Ramon was going to do the trick.

"Good brother, you used the Serpent Cult to rob Titus, and then disguised yourself as an Imperial knight to capture Rimusk's family, not only to force those guys outside White Hart Fort to retreat, but also to make them infighting, right?"

Ramon has always been a very perceptive person, and both he and Alina can see Leon's intentions.

"Of course, after all, we have to save Justus. Ramon, do you have any great ideas? ”

Leon nodded.

"Good brother, you should know that some people may not care so much about their families for the sake of power. Just like the two Bahad Khans in Desha, they are brothers...... Simply coercing those bastards may not solve the problem, but may cause the enemy to jump over the wall. ”

Ramon spread his hands: "I have been using all kinds of dishonorable methods in Singar, and I am probably more experienced than you in doing bad things...... Good bro, I have a better plan......"

Ramon's grand plan is full of intimidation, coercion, planting, and framing......

None of this is a blatant act, but luckily Roland is still in the Lion City, and if Roland is here, he might beat Ramon......

But if these disgraceful ways were used against enemy lords, especially those who coerced Justus into making trouble for Leon, it would seem to be a matter of course.

Leon had never hated anyone from a hostile country, but he hated the act of sparking war for the sake of political struggle—the aristocracy just didn't treat the low-level soldiers and people who died in the war as human beings.

It's the same with Ramon.

In order to ensure that these nobles, who only had power in their minds, would not get into trouble in the future, Ramon suggested that Leon get rid of them in one fell swoop.

Persecute some, intimidate some, and then frame another.

Of course, it was Titus who persecuted, and this was done.

Titus, an outsider, mingles with the old-school aristocracy, and to the old-school aristocracy, he is actually a 'supplier' that provides combat power.

The old school regarded him as a thug, but if this thug lost all his family's savings, he would definitely not dare to attack White Hart Fort with all his might, otherwise the troops would suffer too much damage, and the only fate for him, the 'supplier', would be abandoned.

On the battlefield, there is no room for any troops to cower, and if the thug does not do his best, the other nobles will naturally worry that the thug has other thoughts, in case he is bitten back...... You have to be on guard.

This results in most people not doing their best......

And the intimidation is aimed at those minor lords, especially the officers of the Shadow Legion who have outstanding combat effectiveness but average status.

They have little power of their own, and they do not have the ability or financial resources to protect their families closely for a long time.

Many of the Scorpio Assassins had already split up and acted alone at this point.

The little lord's house is not so tightly guarded, and there is no need for too many people, as long as the assassin throwing knife is put on the bed of some of the little lords of Bacchus's wife and children.

After they got the news of 'the assassin's knife was found in the child's bed' from home, it was impossible not to panic - being targeted by the Scorpio assassin would mean that they would live in the shadow of assassination for the rest of their lives......

In this case, it is impossible to expect them to fight with peace of mind, and they will still suspect each other - who sent the killer?

Especially when they learned from each other, many small lords with little power had Scorpio assassins' throwing knives in their homes, but the big families didn't......

And planting is to directly plant the relatively strong lord of the wealthy clan into a snake worshipper or a traitor.

It is true that the old school has a lot of lords who have an affair with the Serpent Cult, but in practice it is difficult to tell - but whatever, it is enough to make evidence without evidence, anyway, just to make those nobles suspicious of each other......

Several different operations, corresponding to several different people, and when the news reaches the army, suspicion and panic will most likely lead to infighting among this group of old-fashioned aristocrats - there are also small groups in the same faction, pure trust will not exist in politicians, and the more power-hungry people are, the easier it is to suspect each other.

At that point, it is not certain that they will directly fight among themselves, but Justus will definitely be safer - some of the 'smart people' who react quickly will definitely see Justus, the first minister of the Empire, as a lifesaver.

Especially the little lords who were intimidated, they could no longer let Justus die, and without Justus, they would be the ones behind all the problems - the big nobles would most likely abandon them to protect themselves.

Once Justus is safe, Alina can split up and win over the minor lords, and then try to kill the other in the name of Emperor Marius and Justus - there are all the charges and evidence anyway.

Sometimes, it doesn't always take a big army to deal with the enemy, and Ramon knows this all too well – he has always done it in Singar.

……

Soon after, the main entrance to Wolfinburg was wide open.

The patrol captain who had been promoted by the line of fire, that is, the young recruit, respectfully put the dozens of 'Imperial Knights' into the castle.

Leon and Ramon walked straight into the courtyard of the Inner Fort, where Rimusque lived.

Fort Wolvern actually had a lot of defenders, at least 800 troops stationed in the city, and even Rimusk still had more than 300 private soldiers in his house - this was a big family, and it was not as defeated as Livius.

With so many troops, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Li Ang, Ramon and others to come out alive if they are exposed......

But as soon as Leon entered Rimusque's house, he drew his sword and stared at the vines in the courtyard like a nervous man.

"I suspect there are snake worshippers here......"

Leon squinted proudly in the courtyard of the castle: "Look at this green decoration...... Surely there will be no one in the Rimusk family who has defected to the Snake Cult? ”

The recruit who led the way was shocked, glanced at the vines on the wall, and replied tremblingly: "This ...... My lord, that's a snake incense vine, a decorative ...... The plants are of course green ......"

"Snake incense vine! Really...... Even the decoration of the house is with snake characters! It seems that there is probably a senior snake worshipper hiding here! ”

Li Ang was even more energetic now, with a hideous sneer on his face: "Come on, search for it!" Let's see if there's anything going on......"

The recruit swallowed and was speechless at this trumped-up charge.

He looked left and right at the 'Imperial Knights' all over the courtyard, and noticed that all of them seemed to have a fierce look in their eyes, and they looked more like bandits or murderers......

This is not deliberately disguised...... This group of people are all Scorpio assassins, they are originally killers, and they belong to their true colors.

Everyone could see that this group of Imperial knights was deliberately here to cause trouble.

But the question is - what does it mean that the emperor's guards deliberately came to cause trouble?

"Are all Imperial Knights like this...... Either it's the old man who fishes like Sist, or it's this kind of crazy ......"

The recruit muttered, presumably because the worldview had collapsed.

The guards in Rimuske's house were all stupid, hesitating to know whether to stop them or not.

"The Imperial Guards search for the Serpent Cultists! If you don't want to be a rebel, just squat and don't move! Anyone with a weapon will be killed! ”

Ramon shouted with his Imperial broadsword, and entered the play quite deeply.

None of the people in the courtyard moved, and none of them wanted to be considered serpents......

"My lord, we found this in the bedroom of Rimusk!"

An Imperial Knight Captain, aka Ramon, ran up to Leon with a set of the Serpent Priestess's signature outfit.

A viper helmet, off-the-shoulder snake-patterned soft armor, and a black iron spear...... Actually, this is equipment borrowed from Alyssa.

"Uh-huh...... Sure enough, it's a snake worshipper! And it's a priestess! Take all the people in the Rimusk family away! Especially women, don't let any of them go......"

Leon gave an order with a serious face, and then turned his head and asked the recruit, "Do you have any other relatives and friends in Limousk?" including his mistress or the outer chamber or something like ......"

Can you really search for things that worship snakes?

Everyone in the courtyard was panicking, and some of the guards had begun to sneak back into unobtrusive corners.

"This ...... Do friends and relatives want to be caught too? ”

The recruit was panicked and stammered: "Yes, yes...... But that's not ......"

Of course he panicked, speaking of which, this recruit is also a relative of Rimusk - the castle patrol is different from the garrison, the patrol needs to enter the main castle to patrol, and the risk is low and the pay is high, so many people in the patrol are the children of Rimusk's relatives.

Rimusk made Sistt the leader of the patrol to show his trust in Sist, but also to show his loyalty to Emperor Marius - it was indeed a good practice to let the imperial knights sent by the emperor take charge of the security of his main castle.

But now in this situation, the young people of the patrol are all panicking.

This group of 'Imperial Knights' is obviously more arrogant, and if there are really people in the Rimusk family who are serpent priestesses, then they will all be in serious trouble......

"Of course you have to catch it! Unless you can find a clear snake worshipper, everyone will be suspicious! Well...... Do you know who this serpentine priestess costume is? ”

Li Ang glared at the recruit, and his tone suddenly softened: "If you know, hurry up...... Be lenient in confession, strict in resisting! ”

In order to avoid getting themselves in trouble, people generally react in one of two ways - either they will die and not admit it, or they can immediately change their identity and turn themselves into tainted witnesses......

As for who is the leader of the snake worshippers, or is there a snake worshippers at all......

It doesn't matter.

As long as you don't get into trouble, even if you have a grievance, when your lord comes back, you can naturally solve it - the big family has such confidence.

But you can't suffer the immediate loss, and you can't have a direct conflict with the 'guards sent by the emperor', otherwise the trouble will be even greater than the appearance of snake worshippers at home......

"Ahem...... My lord! Exercise restraint! I know who the Serpent Worshippers are! I report and expose! ”

Although the recruit is a little naïve because he is young, his brain is not stupid, he is also a child of a big family, and he understands many things.

Subsequently, most of the people in Limuske's family reacted, and all of them echoed: "This adult, we report and expose ......."

At the same time, a box of dinars was moved to Leon.

"My lord, we all know the rules...... We didn't manage our family well, out of the demons, tired the adults to run so far, this is for the adults to eat and live in the hotel...... But don't worry, my lord, we will tie up the demon girl of the Snake Sect to see you, and you don't have to work hard again......"

Rimusk's wife came forward and behaved extremely empatheticly.

Large families are like this, they generally don't fight when they are in trouble, but will make quick decisions - sacrificing unimportant small roles to protect the core people while preserving the family's reputation, which is the choice they will inevitably make.

This time, the small character who was sacrificed was Rimusk's mistress, a beautiful woman in her twenties.

This was 'exposed' by Rimusk's relatives and his wife, and the recruit was also planning to identify the woman.

The woman was Rimusk's outer chamber, and she bore Rimske an illegitimate child, who had a luxurious courtyard in the city of Wolfin.

"If nothing else, this woman is Rimuske's weakness, if it weren't for their own 'exposure', we wouldn't have known that such a woman existed......"

As he left Wolfinburg, Ramon said to Leon: "When my brethren do assassinations or the like, they usually find the person or thing that is most important to their target...... Whether it is used to coerce the target to appear or to wait for the rabbit, it is much stronger than direct confrontation......"

In fact, in addition to the mother and son, Leon and Ramon still captured everyone in the Musk family, leaving only the new recruits of the patrol egg-since they want to report and expose, then these people must be taken away as witnesses......

All of Rimuske's family files were taken out of Walwin as witnesses, but as soon as they left Walwin, they became meat tickets.

At the same time, he also took away a large box of dinars - the enemy took the initiative to give it, don't do it in vain.

These hostages were used in exchange for Justes, and the box of dinars, Leon directly distributed it to Ramon's brothers, and he was quite generous.

After all, the Scorpio Assassins were already worth a lot of money, and Leon couldn't treat them badly.

Besides, of course, to fight with Lord Leon is to make a fortune, and to fight any type of war you have to get rich, and Leon decided to make this a tradition......
