Chapter 99 Before the War
A few days ago, Irene had detected something fishy about a merchant who frequently came to the port by listening to malicious intent.
When he passed by Ms. Irene and greeted her respectfully, his inner voice had already revealed the fact that he had been bribed.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Nasir Town has always been frequently probed by various families. Their most common method is to bribe individual Nasir people to inquire about information and create chaos and rumors.
The Fisher family will naturally respond.
The task of dealing with the former mayor was an important test, and from then on, Chris and Archibald were responsible for dealing with those who needed to disappear.
And this businessman who travels to and from the port is the next target.
In the dark night, Chris and Archibald tied up the desperate man, dragged him out and brought him to the water's edge of the harbor.
Chris quickly cut his neck with the blade, and then Archibald threw the merchant into the sea.
"Phew, solved, hahaha! Good thing he died! He was clearly a Nasir, but he was bribed by an outsider!"
Archibald was excited; he was an irritable man, and of course he applauded the death of his enemy.
Every time he kills someone, Archibald shows intense emotions. Perhaps being easily emotional is a common characteristic of those who are qualified for the "Disaster Road".
Chris remained completely silent and just felt that he was doing something very ordinary.
"Let's go."
He shook his head and turned to leave, Archibald nodded and followed him.
"I don't know how long I'll have to rest this time. I actually quite like this kind of mission. Normally, I always feel a lot of anger stuck in my heart and can't release it."
“Only at times like this do I feel excited!”
Archibald blushed slightly and continued talking, not caring that Chris didn't answer him at all.
"No one who wants to harm us should be spared!"
Suddenly, Chris became alert, and a strong sense of crisis emerged deep in his heart.
He suddenly realized what was going on!
That is the reminder of the Lost Lord!
"careful!"
Chris immediately reminded Archibald. The boy, who had been talking nonstop, was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, I understand."
He had followed Chris for several years and understood what the change in his tone meant.
The two of them are definitely facing some great danger now!
"go home."
Chris immediately made a judgment that the best choice now was to go back to Fisher Manor first.
There are many guards in the Fisher family, and there are also several extraordinary people who master the power of sequence. Even if the enemy is a strong one at the metamorphic level, they can find a way to fight against it.
But they had no idea where the enemy was or who the enemy was, and it was a long way from the port area to their home.
Chris knew very well that if the two of them had been targeted by the enemy, this journey would be full of danger.
[On board.] 】
Suddenly, the voice of the Lost Lord emerged from deep within Chris's heart, which was extremely rare.
He suddenly looked towards the large ships not far away. In the dark night, it seemed as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him on every ship.
Sure enough, I was targeted!
Chris and Archibald ran, desperately running towards the location of Fisher Manor, but there was no sound of the enemy chasing them from behind.
An old man in a black robe stood on the boat, silently staring at the two people who were running away.
He is a member of the Poseidon Cult and came to the town of Nasir to avenge the Isaac family, who are also Poseidon followers.
This is just the beginning!
"The East Coast will be in the hands of the Poseidon Cult sooner or later!"
The false god who claimed to be the Lord of Storms has disappeared, and the Church of Storms has fallen into complete civil strife. And the sea god has given even more powerful power to the religious groups that believe in him!
Although the East Coast Province is the most remote and small province in Syat, its area is far smaller than that of Alfenia Province, Greenbrook Province, Maple Leaf Province, Emerald Lake Province,
But for the Poseidon Cult, it is extremely important.
Occupying the east coast has been the long-cherished wish of hundreds of thousands of people in the Poseidon Cult for generations. Countless people want to return to this land and no longer have to live on the sea for generations.
"Fischer family, you are not our first target of revenge, and you will not be the last."
In fact, there were many extraordinary people from the Poseidon Cult who came to the East Coast to carry out large-scale destruction, and the old man was just one of them.
The old man obtained important information through the secret organization "Black Eyes" that sells intelligence. The head of the Fisher family is no longer in Nasir Town. These few days are a good opportunity for revenge.
He is a powerful spellcaster who has reached the lower level of metamorphosis. Theoretically, as long as he ambushes in the dark, he can kill all the members of the Fisher family in one fell swoop!
In fact, the old man who was the spellcaster had no intention of showing up to fight.
"Did they find me?"
Although he was not sure about this, the old man decided to be more cautious and try to solve all problems from a distance.
There are hundreds of thousands of people on the islands under the Poseidon Cult, and they are managed by twelve deep-sea priests. The old man is the deputy of one of the deep-sea priests, "Zhanlan".
The brothers and sisters of Isaac family were actually subordinates of the deep-sea priest "Zhanlan".
The old man is a summoning-type spellcaster who memorizes a total of five different summoning spells.
The spellcasting technique he mastered is "enhancement", which can consume a large amount of mental energy and enhance the final effect of his spellcasting.
Moreover, as a metamorphic spellcaster, the efficiency of his mental power output has increased several times.
Casting the same spell, even without the use of "enhanced" spellcasting techniques, the final effect will be stronger than that of a caster at the origin level.
Many summoning spellcasters will summon their own summons before fighting.
So the old man, who was not ready yet, was not in a hurry to chase and kill the two men. It would be terrible if he was led into a trap.
Even as a second-level metamorphosis spellcaster, he must remain cautious when facing those origin-level enemies.
However, carrying the summoned creature through the entire town would definitely attract a lot of attention, so the old man decided to first come to the vicinity of Fisher Manor before summoning.
Staring at Fisher Manor in the darkness, he silently chanted a spell and summoned a bull-headed monster over five meters tall.
The monster with a bull's head and a human body was breathing heavily. It had four strong arms, and its blood-red skin was covered with obscure spells. Its blood-red eyes revealed uncontrollable madness.
The old man then chanted the spell again and summoned another two-meter-long, smaller worm monster.
The newly summoned monster was a huge, earth-yellow worm with a hideous mouthparts. It made a rustling sound and soon burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
The old man skillfully ordered the smaller worm monsters to burrow into the ground, launch sneak attacks and kill from the ground, and ordered the huge bull-headed monsters to attack head-on.
He used this tactic very skillfully. The monster with a bull's head and a human body, Baino Mo, was extremely powerful and had amazing vitality. It was perfect for attracting firepower and attention head-on.
The worm can burrow and move underground, and can deal a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment!
The old man said to himself: "Well, I still have two-thirds of my spiritual power left. Let's see how you deal with it next."
As a spellcaster, he cannot approach rashly, but has to hide outside and control the summoned creature.
For a summoner who has reached the metamorphic level, the maximum control distance for the summoned creature is five hundred meters, which is also his safety distance.
Compared to bloodline knights of the same level, spellcasters not only have a limited number of spells to cast, but also have extremely weak physical fitness. They often seek various ways to protect themselves.
The old man carries with him a mysterious and rare object of treasure level, a mysterious and rare object of collection level.
The former will automatically activate once someone approaches, attacking while defending, while the latter can also be used for close to medium range combat.
Chris and Archibald were very familiar with the roads in Nasir Town, and they had returned to Fisher Manor dozens of minutes ago.
Many guards living in the adjacent mansion have come out in full force, each of them armed with a flintlock rifle and carrying alchemical explosives. Guard Captain Theo is not there, and the deputy guard captain is in charge on the scene.
Several extraordinary people and important family members of the Fisher family gathered in the hall.
"I'm glad you're back."
Irene saw Chris and Archibald return safely from outside and nodded calmly.
There was no nervous expression on her face, and she was not afraid of the possibility of losing her brother.
Chris noticed this scene sensitively, and felt a little uncomfortable deep down in his heart.
Vanessa was immediately relieved to see that Chris was okay. It was really great that nothing happened to him.
Irene knew that when Byrne was not at home, she was the only backbone of everyone.
She stared at the people around her and said slowly, "I have sent people out to ask people from all forces in Nasir Town to come to help."
"The enemy couldn't expect us to react so quickly because he wouldn't understand why he was discovered in the first place."
Irene paused and continued, "We will respond to the enemy according to the second scenario we practiced before."
Everyone nodded nervously, and everyone did their own thing according to the drill. The two youngest children were taken by Vanessa to the secret room in the basement.
Byrne once studied at the military academy in Fein City for a whole year. After returning, he asked the Fisher family to conduct exercises and training to teach everyone how to deal with various dangerous situations.
At first everyone felt confused and thought the drills were boring, and that they would be punished if they did not do well.
Later, under Byrne's strong request, everyone had to persevere.
He also conducted a series of special military training for the guards to improve the overall combat quality of the family guards.
Byrne sincerely felt that the battle that went wrong at the port was full of mistakes and confusion, and the weather was also very unlucky, otherwise the final outcome should have been better.
"A second-level metamorphosis warrior can also be injured and killed. As long as we have enough people, proper tactics, and tacit cooperation, theoretically we can kill him without even one person dying!"
