"So, tell me, our messengers have encountered this kind of encounter for so long?!"

In the southern area of ​​Su Nuo, Byron looked at the corpses on the ground with an extremely displeased expression.

And in front of him, there were several guys who were old or young, ranging from village militia captains to prostitutes, but they all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Kress glanced at them, then ignored them and walked over to the body to examine it carefully.

"He was killed by a sneak attack. The man stabbed him in the lungs from the back. He died without even struggling. But at that time he should be in a place he thought was safe, and he had to be careful about his back. Very relieved."

"But he is wearing armor. Even if he is not in the wild, he should be on guard." Fatis was a little puzzled. When he led people to check before, they agreed that this was the messenger who encountered this when he was moving forward in this wild area. The raid and died after the battle, the messy horseshoe prints nearby and the fight and fight marks on the corpse are very obvious.

"You always think that the battle between people will be fair, or at least it will be a less honorable battle, Fatis, I am not surprised about this, Elaine is more naive than you on this point Kress pouted, obviously remembering some of the previous unhappiness, but this rather cute expression lasted for less than a second, and then she straightened her face and began to explain the situation on the corpse.

"His wound is narrow and thin. It is not the mark left by a long sword, lance or spear. Lord Fatis, I want to ask if they can suddenly kill our messenger without riding a horse? Let's not talk about it." They are all good cavalry. There is only one tree that can cover a person every five miles in this ghost place. Do you think a group of people on horseback can run quietly to our messenger? Unless he is deaf The ears are still blind." Speaking of this, Kress used his own knife to pry open the blood-stained chain armor, and continued to add: "He has two wounds on his body, but the first blow has already killed him. , the second one was put on after he put on the chain armor, but this chain armor is very strong, they spent a lot of effort, so the knife edge is skewed, and the work is not clean. Let me say, move The guy who killed him was definitely a good guy, but the guys who dealt with it afterward were not that good."

Kress played with the corpse like a plague doctor who dissected the dead, explaining in detail the killing techniques and the conspiracy behind them. Some of the people listening to her words looked at each other in blank dismay, while others avoided her like the plague, and even put their hands on their weapons vigilantly.

Only the veterans and officers who had known her so early and had gradually learned to tolerate her in the past few years could listen to all this calmly, but their expressions clearly showed that they did not like this young woman. Ladies do it.

"Professional answer, Kress, when everyone in Assassin is busy, you are the only one who can guarantee the safety of our shadow." Byron didn't respond, after all, what he asked Kress to do, Most of them are not very clean, and many of them are more cruel than the situation at present.

"Pack up his body. He died for us. We will bury him generously and give his family a generous pension. That's it, Fatis, you guys come with me. By the way, Your Excellency Chris, please come here too. Johnny, go and tell my father-in-law that Lord Dilinard is still needed, and our troops need to rest for a while, and have lunch before setting off."

A few minutes later, several people had already arrived in the open space beside them, sitting on the blankets carried by the attendants for an emergency meeting.

"Chris, you are one of Lord Crags's most trusted knights. Your family has a long-standing reputation in Suno. I think you must be familiar with Suno's noble families?" Byron asked the Suno knight. .

"Of course, Lord Byron, I know the names and coats of arms of every family in Su Nuo, and I can name at least two-thirds of the members of all their families, and I have been a knight for more than ten years. Among these people I know many of them." Chris nodded, obviously knowing the situation of the local nobles very well.

"That couldn't be better. As you can see, our couriers have been intercepted and killed, and Assassin's masters can't catch them. I don't believe that Su Nuo has no one to cooperate with them. Think about it, the Baron in this area And among the knight families, how many have followed Madam Isona? How many are in trouble with dinar now? And who have a bad relationship with Earl Crags?"

Byron's expression was very serious. Chris was taken aback by the sudden eruption of the high-ranking aristocratic aura, gulped, looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, and then told all he knew answer.

......

The soaring smoke, the fire that illuminated the horizon, the lush forest was engulfed by the flames, and all the people in the surrounding manors, soldiers, men, women, young and old, rushed out to fight the fire, lest the forest farm that fed more than half of the manor be burned by the flames.

The manor owner woke up from his sleep. His throat was sore from the pungent smoke. During the process of extinguishing the fire, some servant must have accidentally knocked over the candlestick or got the tinder on his body, bringing the fire to the manor.

At this moment, no one cared about the defense of the manor, let alone the guest who was acting strangely.

"bump"

In a hurry, a maid accidentally bumped into a man, he fell to the ground, kept apologizing, reached out to reach the bucket on the side, and then rushed to another burning stable in the manor, completely forgetting I wonder why my head hurts so much, as if I hit a whole iron plate.

"Don't kill her?"

Seeing the maid who ran away, Bestur was a little puzzled. The saber in his hand was out of its sheath, but he was stopped.

"I don't have time to deal with that stupid girl, we still have business to do." Rolf glanced at the woman's back with disdain, and then drew his sword.

"After entering, men, women, old and young, as long as they can still breathe, don't leave any of them behind."

In such chaos, the few remaining soldiers and servants in the manor didn't notice the dozen or so heavily armed figures, let alone how they swaggered into the manor owner's small castle.

Of course, it's useless even if you notice, they won't live to call for help.

Not long after, those people walked out of the gate, carrying a human-shaped bag and several boxes, and threw a few torches behind them by the way. For some reason, all the flammable things in the castle "just happened" to be piled up not far from the door. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

A few minutes later, flames and smoke enveloped the entire castle.

On the second day, people would be shocked to find that the entire family of the manor owner, from the aging mother to the infant baby, had all died in the sea of ​​fire that night.

"Can those people understand this kind of warning?" After leaving the castle, Bestur was a little puzzled by their actions: "If you want me to say, just let me bring fifty cavalry to kill the entire manor, and let everyone live If you don’t stay, it’s much more troublesome? The blind will know what’s going on.”

"It doesn't matter, the Earl just wants to do this. He doesn't want to do this kind of thing too much, but after this, those who shouldn't know will shut up even if they know, and those who should know will immediately understand what we mean. With that The old princess of Swadia will die if she messes with her, especially if she gets in our way."

Having said that, there was a burst of cheerful laughter in the team, leaving the manor in the distance gradually engulfed in flames.

It was bound to be a sleepless night.
