0789 Roadside bomb

The chaotic situation finally made the powerful and powerful people in the Banshee Castle feel the tension of the war. They began to seriously consider the reality that the war was about to break out, especially the enemy's speed of building fortresses was beyond imagination.

"If you want to compete with the speed of building a fortress, you have to spend money." Bishop stood on the balcony facing the street in his mansion, looking down at a broken wheel on the street.

A few days ago, the whole city was in chaos due to the false news of the war. In the middle of the night, hundreds of powerful families living in the city suddenly drove on the road, preparing to escape to the safe place they imagined.

There was no command or organization, and even the spread of the news was contradictory. You can imagine how chaotic it was that night. The wheels on the street fell that night. I don’t know whose carriage broke?

In addition, because the night was too chaotic, two big men were found dead the next day.

An old baron was killed in his carriage, and his body fell into his mistress's arms. The young and beautiful mistress was still dreaming of becoming a baron, but was splattered with blood by the baron in his sixties.

When Bishop saw the mistress, the other party was crying, and he deliberately leaned on him with his plump breasts, trying to change to a baron as his backer. He didn't think much about it and accepted it with a smile.

At the inspection site, the old baron was cut through the cervical artery by a sharp blade, and a very accurate knife was cut. The magic protective gear he was wearing was also instantly broken, which shows that the murderer's weapon has the effect of destroying the demons and is very cruel.

This is not a death that can be caused by ordinary street quarrels. It is definitely the work of a first-class assassin.

After the old baron died, a large amount of property left behind, and the battle for property has broken out. In addition to the genuine descendants, a bunch of illegitimate children also jumped out.

The second one died was a big grain merchant, who was killed when he fled in a panic at night. There were more than a dozen adventurers around him acting as bodyguards, but he couldn't defend himself at all.

The dereliction of duty bodyguard later told Bishop about the situation at that time, saying that they were shrouded in the sudden darkness. When the wizard among the bodyguards used flashing techniques to dispel the darkness, the fat big grain merchant like a pig was also cut through the cervical artery.

The bodyguards swear that there are only three seconds from darkness to flash. They reacted very quickly, but they didn't even see the shadow of the murderer. This only shows that the gap between the two positions of offense and defense is too big, and there is no defense at all.

Behind the grain merchants is the largest group of powerful people in Banshee Castle, and they also face family property division after their death. This time it was not an internal struggle between descendants, but a dozen powerful people who have participated in the shares jumped out.

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

His Excellency Friedman was furious about it the day after the incident, saying that he would find out the murderer and punish him severely, and that he should not sit idly by and watch such a vicious incident happen again. But he frozen the property of the two deceased, or to be precise, confiscated.

In secret, Friedman called Bishop to praise him, saying that the assassin he was looking for was good, the timing was very good, and he did it neatly and did not leave any flaws. He also said that he wanted to meet the assassin so that he would not accidentally sneak to the city lord's mansion.

Bishop was sweating profusely at the time and didn't know how to answer. He didn't ask for the assassin at all, but the deceased's account was settled on him. The two who were killed were idiots who had been named in the city lord.

Alas... it's a headache.

Friedman currently needs a large amount of gold coins to strengthen his military power, including paying the military expenses of more than a dozen coalition forces in the Northland. These expenses can be entirely handled by Banshee Castle.

In addition, the monsters in the Black Forest are building fortresses, not only in the town of fog, but also in many major traffic roads including Green Valley. Once these fortresses are built, they can not only be used for defense, but for offense.

I have to say that Victor Hugo played beautifully, which made the Northern Nobles mess up. He originally wanted to mobilize slowly, but now it is not possible.

The fortress building in the winter is incredible, and no one can imagine it. But in order to compete with Hugo's fortress offensive, the Banshee Fortress also needs to be built accordingly. This requires money.

Bishop's current work is not so much about punishing the "idiots" as it is about raising war military funds for Friedman. But he doesn't know who "helps" him behind his back.

The two deceased had many enemies, and they were all considered bad deeds from any angle, and they were still alive. But it was definitely not as simple as I thought that they could invite first-rate assassins.

Not long after standing by the balcony, the servant came to inform him that the carriage was ready. Bishop had to rush to the prison in the city, and his subordinates caught two smugglers, and they were still 'genius' smugglers who used corpses to transport goods.

"Why are there always stupid people using corpses to transport goods? How many times have this old-fashioned method been checked? These two stupid thieves are simply insulting my IQ."

Bishop went out and got into the carriage, and the driver drove it to start. He sat in the carriage and closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about how to deal with the two idiots when they saw them later and how to pull out the supporters behind them one by one.

"This should be able to search more money, half a million or even millions of gold coins, which should support the war that the Buchi family is about to face."

Bishop silently calculated the possible benefits in his mind, and also considered whether he still had value in his later years. Regardless of winning or losing in this war, the Banshee Castle will definitely have a liquidation.

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

The wheels rumbled across the road, and there were escorts of the accompanying knights in front and behind the car. There were three carriages in the team, and Bishop took one of them randomly. Recently, he was very careful, afraid that an inexplicable assassin would come to him.

"Master, the wizard in front of us slowed down." The guard next to the carriage approached the carriage and delivered the message.

"What does that mean?" Bishop opened his eyes in the carriage. "What does the new prophetic wizard want to do?"

"He said someone was using arcane to spy on us..."

The guard knight said halfway. A large wooden box with a ragged appearance was thrown away by the side of the road where the carriage passed. The box suddenly exploded violently.

A hemispherical shock wave appeared out of thin air and spread rapidly to the surroundings. The entire street collapsed in front of the shock wave. The houses near the explosion point had walls collapsed, roofs were overturned, and they flew into the sky.

The loud bang was accompanied by thick smoke, quickly covering most of the streets, and outsiders could no longer see the internal situation. However, the violent vibrations caused by the explosion quickly spread throughout the city, causing endless panic.

Adrian raised his telescope on the roof of a building hundreds of meters away, and after a moment he could feel the airflow from the shock waves. He shouted in surprise: "The Lord also said that the explosives are less powerful? Is this still called less powerful? It's almost blowing up the entire street."

Mondino and Old Bank next to him were also stunned for a while. The Necromancer asked the Prophetic Chief: "Are you sure to avoid such an attack?"

The Prophetic Chief could only smile bitterly: "It is better to avoid being the target of such an attack."
