"Well, it now seems that of the information we have obtained, there are four of the most important."

The nightingale began to summarize.

"First of all, the decapitator Leighton, this is a small leader with a very sense of justice, supported and loved by most of the Howell family, and he and his knights are very strong in combat, and they must not fight head-on with the knights he leads in an open area."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"The second is Elon Howell, this is a complete dumb kid, the strength is likely to be an elite creature, or even weaker, is the target we will prioritize, but this guy who is afraid of death is unlikely to show his head in the near future."

"Then the Oni Vine has already caused the Howell family to be very anxious, and in any case, as the Oni Vine continues to get closer to the territory of the territory, they are bound to remove this danger that may cause the complete decline of the Howell family."

The nightingale paused.

"Finally, and the most important piece of information we have obtained, the number of strange beasts in the fog near the Howell family has far exceeded the safe range, and it has formed an unprecedented pressure on the Howell family."

I have to say.

With the in-depth investigation of everyone, a family that is gradually declining has become more vivid, but relying on some of the former heritage, it can barely form a deterrent.

For example, the existence of Layton the Decapitator.

The Nightingale unfolds the stick figures and intelligence information of the Howell family leaders in turn.

"Our task now is to keep the information of these commanders in mind in the shortest possible time, and ensure that before each attack, we can discern the hidden strength of the guards, especially the combat skills they have publicly demonstrated, and we must ensure our own safety in the event of a contact battle."

"Got it."

"Don't worry, eldest sister."

"Hmm."

After seeing that everyone had responded, the nightingale disbanded.

……

Inside the lord's office in the castle of the Howell family.

After three days of patrolling to nothing, the victims seemed to have sensed the danger in advance, which made Albert Howell's face extremely ugly, and many of the minor leaders complained.

After all, this kind of patrol mission early in the morning is really not an easy task.

Even Albert Howell himself, who also felt a little unbearable, how many years, he has been accustomed to sleeping until he wakes up naturally, this kind of life of getting up before dawn to wash and wear armor, only in his memory, that is when he was young, when he first took up the position of lord, he was conscientious and conscientious.

As a last resort, he could only announce the cessation of the patrol duties of the small leaders.

Sitting at his desk, Albert looked at the materials in front of him.

These are reports on the whereabouts of important members of the family, and he wants to find clues about the enemy and find out who is taking revenge on the Howell family.

After excluding those reports that are the least suspected.

Ultimately.

His eyes fell on the report of the Whirlwind Warrior Rakhi, as well as ...... Elon Howell's report on the material.

The Whirlwind Warrior went to Glory City half a month ago, originally wanting to buy armor, but for some reason, the purchased items were replaced by dragon blood purification potion, there must have been a lot of things going on, but Rakhi's statement in the letter was quite vague.

Albert's face was gloomy.

Rakki was the minor leader of the Howell family for nearly two years.

His identity was originally an adventurer, and he hired him as the leader of the family because he took a fancy to his potential qualifications, and his strength is a relatively weak one among the family leaders at this stage.

It is precisely because of this that Albert has every reason to wonder if this little boss is causing some trouble outside.

Of course.

This is also the only option to clear his son's suspicions, and he subconsciously keeps telling himself that he must try to find a suspicious object in these reports, otherwise Elon will be the only suspect.

As for his eldest son Elon Howell, although Albert has seen a more detailed time dynamics from his report, his trajectory in the past month or so is too complicated!

The Miller family, the Schumacher family, the Otai family, the Yuelan family.

He traveled almost all over the neighborhood, and even Albert had a hard time believing that it was only in the space of a month for him.

And what they do is just boring travel.

However, as his father, Albert naturally knew some of the dirt.

Albert knows his ability to cause trouble.

If it weren't for the fact that the Howell family had a better heir, and the second son Walley Howell was still competitive, once this guy took over the position, I am afraid that within ten years, the family would suffer a catastrophe.

"Investigate Rakki and Elon."

With Albert's sigh, the servant behind him actually bowed, turned into the form of the Shadow Devouring Panther, and left the room.

A moment later.

Knock knock.

The knock on the door brought Albert back to his senses, and he knew that it must be Layton who was here, a strict and upright man who would always summarize the events of the day in the castle after dark, and submit them into a report.

"Please come in!"

The door of the room was pushed open, and sure enough, it was Layton, who was dressed in armor, walking with a copy.

"Captain Layton, please be seated."

Albert Howell's gray beard and a relieved smile appeared on his lips, and he not only trusted the knight, but also admired him.

Faced with these texts, he did not choose to look through them, but asked face to face: "Is something happening in the castle today?" ”

"It's all a case of law and order, a captain of the guard was drunk and derelict in his duties, and I whipped him three times, and this morning, the steel-backed silver-headed fang, and the guards patrolling the farmland sneak attack, it was the fire swordsman Sabo who bravely attacked and injured the evil fang, and this month, it has retaliated against the territory for the fourth time, and it seems to be getting stronger and stronger."

Layton's heart was heavy.

"It's time to expel these demonic beasts wandering on the edge of the mist."

Albert Howell frowned deeply when he heard this, he was a strange beast and a natural disaster, and he was deeply tormented by the feeling of powerlessness, and he felt anxious about it.

"What about the Scourge attackers, haven't they moved yet?"

Layton shook his head slowly.

"It's been a few days since the last attack, and they seem to have disappeared."

"Hmm."

Albert Howell pressed his temples and sighed: "Inform the commanders in the castle that starting tomorrow, the task of cleaning up those demonic beasts wandering on the edge of the fog will be carried out, and the task time is tentatively set for three days, during which you must be on guard against changes outside the city at any time, and you must not take advantage of those natural disasters." ”

"Yes."

After Layton responded, he was about to leave, but Albert Howell said again: "The ghost vine is getting closer and closer. ”

When Layton heard this, his face was solemn and he stopped.

Albert said angrily: "I already had a plan, if it weren't for these natural disasters, I might have started to clean up these ghost vines by now, damn bastard, if I let me know who caused the trouble outside, I would have to cut off his head with my own hands!" ”

After venting, Albert sighed helplessly: "The matter of the ghost vine, take a break for the time being, you help me keep an eye on Laki, I am a little suspicious of him." ”

"I see."

Layton didn't say anything and turned to leave.

……

Meanwhile.

Chen Mo and the others, who had collected a lot of information about the Howell family, finally arrived at the Howell family before dusk through the misty forest.

Sunset.

Mao Xiong stretched his waist, looked at the ruined castle, and said excitedly: "This time we must do a big job, try to hunt a few small bosses, and go back to get the star stone first." ”

"Don't be careless."

Nightingale is always the calmest person in the surprise team, and she must ensure the safety of every member of the team as much as possible, especially the impulsive hairy bear, which is the most uneasy for her.

"The enemy is clear and I am secret, we must take advantage of the opportunity, tomorrow we will see if the small leaders here insist on continuing to patrol, if not, continue to attack, it will not take half a month to go on like this, there will definitely be some chaos here, we will look for opportunities to take advantage of the situation."

Nightingale's mission planning can be described as decent, and it is also the way that most captains arrange this situation.

"Captain."

Cat's eyes leaned over and gestured with his eyes: "That guy, he seems to be a lot more honest these days." ”

With the cat's eyes, the person who looks at it is naturally You Li, who is busy before and after.

Nightingale sneered: "It's not strange that there are such people among the predators, but such a guy who can't judge the situation, I am also the first to meet it, and he dares to oppose us, hum." ”

"Why don't you just do it once and for all?"

In response to the furry bear's suggestion, the nightingale shook her head slowly.

"Forget it, he is still needed for this mission, and compared to his threat, how to ensure that the rabbit joins our team is the most important, there is no need to delay our long-term plans for such a person."

Mao Xiong pouted: "It's cheaper for him." ”

After speaking, he looked at Chen Mo again, and sighed: "It's a pity, the traveler can't join our team, otherwise it ......."

Nothing was said all night.

The next day.

As the morning sun rose, Chen Mo and the others, who were hiding on the edge of the fog and watching, couldn't help but show a look of surprise after seeing the guards in the castle swarming out, some of them were responsible for patrolling, and the other part was waiting for the battle.

After all, the area of the wheat field, although it is not big, it is definitely not small!

Even with the Knights at full speed, it would take about two minutes to reach the edge of the mist, what could this team with a large number of petty bosses do?

"There must be a demon when things go wrong, let's observe it first, don't act rashly."

The nightingale is like a patient hunter.

Half an hour later.

Seeing a team of ten people getting closer and closer, Yuli and Mao Xiong couldn't help licking their lips and kept peeking at the nightingale, the meaning was self-evident.

Finally, it was Mao Xiong who took the lead in speaking: "Big sister, those little leaders are so far away that they don't have time to come over to support, this guard team is the points sent to the door." ”

"Don't rush!"

Seeing the nightingale like this, You Li couldn't help but say: "If we complete the task earlier, we can also feel at ease, no matter what they want to do, let's get these low-hanging fruit rewards first." ”

However, the hairy bear, who was still persuading the nightingale at the last moment, seemed to change his face at this moment, and scolded angrily: "Didn't you say it just now, there must be a demon when things go wrong, don't act rashly, you stuff donkey hair in your ears?" ”

Seeing this, Yuli looked angry, but he dared not speak angrily, he had already understood the nightingale's ability to wear small shoes.

And just now, it was obviously this guy who spoke first, but now he actually taught himself a lesson.
