Knight of the Light

Chapter 789: Roadside bomb

The chaotic situation finally made the powerhouses of Banshee feel the tension of the battle. They began to seriously consider the reality that war was about to erupt, especially when the enemy was building forts faster than expected.

"If you want to compete with the speed of building the fortress, you have to spend money." Bishop stood on the street-facing balcony of his mansion, overlooking a broken and scattered wheel on the side of the street.

The night before a few days ago, because of the false news of the coming of war, the whole city was in chaos and noisy. In the middle of the night, hundreds of dignitaries living in the city suddenly drove on the road, preparing to escape to an imaginary safe place.

Without any command, without any organization, even the news disseminated is contradictory, one can imagine how chaotic that night. The wheels on the street were dropped that night. I wonder who's broken carriage?

In addition, due to the chaos that night, two big men were found dead the next day.

An old baron was killed in his carriage and the body fell in the arms of his mistress. The young and beautiful mistress is still dreaming of becoming a baroness, but the blood has been splattered by more than sixty barons.

When Bishop saw the mistress, the pear flower that was crying was carrying rain, and she leaned her plump **** on him deliberately, trying to change the baron as a backer. He didn't think much and accepted it.

At the inspection site, the old baron was cut through the carotid artery with a sharp blade, a very precise knife. The magical protective gear he wore was also instantaneously broken, which showed that the murderer's weapon had the effect of breaking the devil, which was very cruel.

This is not a death caused by ordinary street quarrels, it is definitely the handwriting of first-rate assassins.

After the death of the old baron, a large amount of property was left. In addition to the genuine brand heirs, a bunch of illegitimate children also jumped out.

The second person who died was a big grain merchant who was also killed when he fled in a panic at night. There were more than a dozen adventurers around him acting as bodyguards, but they couldn't help it.

The negligent bodyguard told Bishop afterwards that they were shrouded in sudden darkness. When the sorcerer in the bodyguard used flash to dispel darkness, the fat pig-like big grain merchant was also cut through the carotid artery.

The bodyguards swear to swear that it takes only three seconds from darkness to flash. They responded very quickly, but did not even see the murderer's shadow. It can only show that the gap between the offense and defense is too large, and there is no defense at all.

Behind the grain merchants is Banshee Castle’s largest group of dignitaries, and it also faces the division of family property after death. This time, it wasn't a heirloom, but a dozen equity leaders jumped out.

This is by no means an ordinary death, nor is it an accident in chaos.

Freedman was furious the next day after the incident, and said that the murderer should be investigated and severely punished. Never wait for such vicious incidents to happen again. But he froze the property of the two deceased, to be confiscated to be exact.

In the background, Friedman called Bishop to a big exaggeration, saying that the assassin he was looking for was good, the timing was very good, the hands were clean and neat, and no flaws were left. He accidentally slipped into the main palace.

Bishop was dripping with sweat at the time, not knowing what to do. The assassin wasn't even looking for him, but the dead man's account was counted on him. The two killed were the stupid people who were famous in the city.

Alas... it's a headache.

Friedman currently needs a lot of gold coins to strengthen his military, including paying military expenses for more than a dozen coalition forces in the North. All these expenses can be borne by Banshee Castle.

In addition, monsters in the Black Forest are building fortresses, not only in dense fog towns, but also in many transportation routes including Green Valley Township. Once these fortresses are built, they can be used not only for defense, but also for offense.

I have to say that Victor Hugo played beautifully in this hand, which caused a mess in the Northland aristocracy. Originally thinking about the slow mobilization, it is no longer possible.

Building a fortress in winter is incredible in itself, and no one can think of it. But in order to counter the Hugo's fortress offensive, Banshee Castle must also repair the fortress accordingly. This costs money.

Bishop's current job is not so much to punish the'stupid' as it is to raise war military expenses for Friedman. But he didn't know who was ‘helping’ behind him.

There are many enemies of the two deceased, no matter from which angle they can be called inferior, and there are more than one dead. But the first-rate assassins that can be invited are certainly not as simple as imagined.

Not long after standing on the balcony, the servant came to report that the carriage was ready. Bishop had to rush to the prison in the city, and his men caught the two smugglers, or the genius smugglers who used the carriage of the cadaver to transport the goods.

"Why do stupid people always use cadaver carriage to transport goods? How many times have this old method been checked? These two stupid thieves are simply insulting my IQ."

Bishop went out and got on the carriage, which was started by the driver. He sat in the car with his eyes closed and thought about it, thinking about how to clean up the two idiots and how to pull the supporters behind them one by one.

"This should be able to find more money, half a million or even millions of gold coins, and should be able to support the upcoming war of the Buchi family."

Bishop thought about possible gains silently, and whether he still had use value afterwards. Regardless of winning or losing in this war, Banshee Castle will definitely have a liquidation.

"Either the enemy liquidates us, or we liquidate ourselves. Maybe I should also consider making a profit from it so that I can leave at the right time."

The wheels rumbled over the road, and there were cavalry guards in front of and behind the car. There are three carriages in the team, and Bishop rides one of them randomly-recently he was very careful, for fear of inexplicable assassins coming to the door.

"Master, the wizard in front of us made us slow down." The guard next to the carriage approached the carriage and passed the message.

"What do you mean?" Bishop opened his eyes in the compartment. "What does the new prophecy wizard want to do?"

"He said someone was spying on arcane art, asking us..."

The guardian knight is half way. A large wooden box with a tattered appearance was lost on the roadside where the carriage passed, and the box suddenly exploded violently.

A hemispherical shock wave appeared out of thin air and spread rapidly around. The entire street collapsed in front of the shock wave. The house near the explosion point was collapsed by the wall, the roof was overturned, and flew into the sky.

The thick noise accompanied by the spread of smoke quickly covered most of the streets, and outsiders could no longer see the internal conditions. But the violent vibrations from the explosion quickly spread throughout the city, bringing endless panic.

Adrian raised his telescope on the roof of the building hundreds of meters away, and after a while he could feel the airflow from the shock wave. He shouted in surprise, "The lord also said that the explosive power is small? This is also called small power? This is about to blow up the entire street."

The nearby Mondino and Old Bank were also in a daze, dumbfounded. The Necromancer asked the Prophet: "Are you sure to avoid such an attack?"

The chief predictor only smiled bitterly: "It is better to avoid being the target of this attack."
