Chapter 451: The investigators had bad luck, which made sense
"Loyalty, combat effectiveness, and numbers are all impossible to obtain at the same time. Earl Bazel gave up the loyalty of the Winter Wolf Guard. If you know a little about the Winter Wolf Guard's system, you will know that the best choice for the leader wolf is to rebel with his men."
"So Bazel needs to replace the old wolf every once in a while, clear out all the people loyal to the old wolf, replace the army with a new leader, and wait for the next cycle."
"Now that the Winter Wolf Guards have killed so many people and pretended to be heroes, it is already considered betrayal. Once Count Bazel finds out, they will definitely be replaced."
"This, this is impossible, right?" Gwen was very surprised. "When the old wolf needs to be replaced, it must be that he has basically mastered the winter wolf. Then it can't be replaced, right?"
"Could it be that he sent more soldiers to surround the Winter Wolf? Wouldn't that force the old wolf to rebel?"
Isaac laughed in a low voice, picked up a pebble, squeezed it hard in his hand, raised his arm horizontally, and slowly loosened his fingers.
He crushed the stone into slag.
"The fact that he can implement this system means that he has enough capable people under his command. Perhaps it is an elite force with extremely high combat effectiveness, but it is more likely that he has extraordinary people under his command."
Gwen was shocked by this inference. She stammered, "Superhuman?"
"Yes, and he must be a transcendent who is good at fighting. Someone like the Night Watchman won't do. After all, this transcendent must go to the military camp to behead the old wolf and subdue the rest. It is not enough to just be able to assassinate, and..."
"And what?"
"And he must be loyal to Bazel. If it weren't for this extraordinary being, his winter wolf would have eaten him as its master."
Gwen gradually came to her senses. She looked at Isaac with bright eyes and said, "Sir, you have such extensive knowledge in the supernatural field. You should have some guesses, right?"
"You are quite perceptive." Isaac laughed. "I have seen the coat of arms of Count Bazel, which has an iris on it. Only a few nobles in the southern part of the empire use it as a coat of arms. They all have one thing in common, which is the loyalty of the extraordinary people of the [Knight] path."
"Well, I don't know much about the supernatural. From what you said, this is very important. Is there anything special about the supernaturals of this path?"
"Yes." Isaac nodded. "There is a special—"
"Very weak."
Gwen's eye twitched.
"The biggest advantage of this path is loyalty. Their power comes from their oaths, and they will never betray. They are also good at frontal combat, but overall they are just that good. Of course, it's no problem for them to bully ordinary people, but in a duel with extraordinary people, they have almost no advantage."
"That is to say."
"That means he definitely can't beat me." Isaac licked his lips. "Now is a good opportunity. If I go to the military camp and kill that extraordinary person, the situation in the entire north will change dramatically!"
"Without a threat, the leader of the Winter Wolf Guard will become independent and no longer obey the orders of the lord. Count Bazel has lost control of the army and has lost the extraordinary person to protect him. The three dukes in the north have long disliked him!"
The nobles generally would not involve the extraordinary people in each other's games, and they all tacitly agreed not to send extraordinary people to assassinate. After all, doing so would only allow the extraordinary people to reap the benefits, and the blood of the nobles would be consumed in vain. But the premise of all this is that each side has the loyalty of extraordinary people.
If there is no extraordinary person to protect them, they will generally either have to pay taxes to the church in exchange for protection, or become vassals of other nobles, otherwise they will easily die in various accidents.
There is no church power in the North. Once Bazel loses his extraordinary people, he will not be qualified to sit at the table.
By then, all the forces in the North will be reshuffled, and the three grand dukes will inevitably start a dispute in order to get a piece of Count Bazel, and no one will care about this group of resistance forces.
They might even deliberately leave a hole to allow the resistance to escape so as not to hinder their division of the spoils.
Gwen has learned a lot from Isaac these days and has a basic understanding of the situation in the North. She will understand all this after a little thought.
Then her eyes lit up and her face was full of excitement.
"Lord Isaac, isn't this too risky?"
Her voice was trembling a little - there was no other way, this was a good opportunity to save the entire resistance army. The extraordinary person around Count Bazel happened to leave, and they had discovered his whereabouts. If they missed it, they might never meet him again.
Assassinating in a well-defended noble mansion is not a difficult task at all! "Don't worry, Ms. Gwen. I don't need to tell you much about my extraordinary abilities. You just need to know that I can easily deal with the Knights. Moreover, the opponent is totally unprepared this time. If my sneak attack fails, I can just retreat. You can support me here. Even if the wolf cubs on the opposite side chase me out, we can still deal with them. It is absolutely safe!"
Isaac said no more nonsense, gave a few instructions and headed straight towards Grizzly Town.
Gwen also knew that the opportunity was precious at this moment, so she called on the resistance soldiers to cheer up and be ready to respond at any time.
Isaac walked towards the town while thinking about his plan. He was a dual-path [Investigator] and [Nymph]. Although he didn't have much extra help in combat, he could still bring out the original strength of an [Investigator]. Few people could compete with him in a head-on battle.
Even if he can't beat her, [Nymph] is top-notch when it comes to escaping, and [Investigator] has many ways of escaping that can be coordinated with [Nymph], so there is almost no chance of him failing.
The only variable is that the [investigator] may have bad luck occasionally, but since he is a dual-channel person, he will be less affected by this and generally won't have any problems.
Isaac has always been cautious in his actions. He made this decision only after repeated consideration and making sure there was no problem.
As soon as he entered the town, he frowned.
Why is there such a strong smell of blood?
This... Did the winter wolf go mad and slaughter the entire town? Or was there a cultist who sacrificed all the townspeople?
Isaac did not dare to be careless. He immediately hid his body and used the ability of [Self-binding] to conduct reconnaissance.
His perspective was pulled up to the sky, and then, under the control of his will, he quickly looked towards several houses.
There are people, there are people, there are people in this house too. There seems to be no problem, there are people in the house, and they are still alive, and their behavior is normal, it doesn't seem like anything has happened.
It wasn't until he saw the military camp that he took a deep breath.
So many bodies? He had killed at least a dozen people, and he was still in this position. Would a [Knight] do such a thing? His cautious and suspicious personality made him immediately decide to give up the action. He pulled his perspective back to the original state and prepared to end his ability.
When he pulled back his view, his own location naturally returned to the center, so he saw -
The expressionless girl standing next to him.
"I found you."
