Bang!
Falling from the second floor, the woman with the eyepatch nimbly steadied herself like a cat falling from a great height.
Whoosh!
Looking at her two subordinates who were stopped, she hesitated, considering whether she should turn back to save them. However, when she thought of the blood fiend, she turned around and rushed out without hesitation.
That blood fiend was stronger and faster than her. If she turned back and was stopped by the blood fiend, it would be difficult for her to escape.
Now that her two subordinates were holding back the blood fiend, she could buy time for her to escape.
Thump, thump, thump!
She rushed to the exit of the hall. Just as she was about to escape into the shadows outside, she came face to face with a rumbling sound. A four-meter-long bull-shaped blood fiend with two horns on its head stomped on the ground and suddenly crashed into her.
"A second blood fiend at the berserk level!!!"
Her expression turned to one of shock, and cold sweat began to trickle down her forehead.
With such a huge body, what else could it be but a berserk level blood fiend?
There were actually two berserk level blood fiends in this small Fergus family!
Whoosh!
She quickly dodged to the side.
Boom!
The behemoth slammed into a nearby wall, creating a hole in the wall.
"Huff —"
She heaved a sigh of relief after dodging the attack. Fortunately, this blood fiend was not as fast as the previous one. Otherwise, she would have been injured if she had been hit head-on.
Whoosh!
She dashed out without hesitation. At this moment, the Fergus family was simply a blood fiend lair in her eyes.
Whoosh!
Right at this moment, a thick shadow suddenly flung towards her. She simply had no time to dodge and was already hit.
Bang!
She was sent flying and smashed into the ground. Her black clothes were completely torn and there was a huge and clear bloody wound on her waist and abdomen.
"Pfft —"
She felt a sharp pain in her waist and abdomen and could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, she saw clearly what had attacked her.
It was a five-meter-long crocodile type blood fiend covered in yellowish-brown scales!
It was definitely a berserk level blood fiend!
A third berserk level blood fiend had appeared!!!
Could it be that he had barged into a blood fiend's lair? He had actually encountered three mad class blood fiends in a row.
A family with three berserk level blood fiends was actually just a viscount family?
When did the Viscount Family become so powerful?
At this moment, she finally understood why the four Ferocious Blood Warrior assassins she had sent out half a year ago had failed and why none of them had managed to escape.
Not to mention four Murderous Grade Assassins, facing three Berserk Grade Blood Fiends and two Ferocious Blood Warriors, even if their numbers were doubled, it would still be impossible.
The woman with the eye patch was about to break down. Assassinating the Fergus family was no different from seeking death. If she had known this would happen, she would have rather assassinated the count's family than the Fergus family.
However, she was an assassin after all. Her mental fortitude was incomparable to ordinary people. She forced herself to calm down, staggered up, and ran out of the castle without hesitation!
A large number of guards had already rushed over, and this gave her a chance to escape. She hid in the shadows, avoided these guards, and quickly arrived at the city wall.
Her hands were like sharp claws as she dug into the solid rocks of the city wall. She climbed to the top of the city wall, and then jumped down.
It was pitch-black outside the city wall. This was her home ground. As long as she could escape into it, she would be able to escape successfully.
At this moment, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She glanced at the castle behind her, which looked like a blood fiend's lair, with lingering fear. She prepared to escape into the shadows.
Just then, she stopped abruptly.
With her night vision, she could not see any living creatures in front of her. However, with the help of the slightly dim light on the castle wall, she actually saw a huge monster looking at her with a pair of huge eyes.
As the light was too dim, she could not see the color of the monster's scales. However, the huge silhouette was actually bigger than the three berserk level blood fiends she had seen before.
The fourth berserk level blood fiend, the fourth berserk level blood fiend had appeared!
The Fergus family actually had a fourth berserk level blood fiend.
Seeing four berserk level blood fiends in a row, even someone with a strong mental fortitude like her could not help but be slightly stunned. However, the berserk level blood fiend in front of her was not.
Bang!
Its huge claws suddenly pressed down, pressing her to the ground, and poking several holes in her body.
She struggled to lift the claws, but found that her strength was far inferior to the other party's. She could not break free at all.
Her weapon hacked at the other party's leg, leaving only shallow wounds.
While she was struggling helplessly, the huge head lowered and suddenly bit down. One of her legs was bitten off, and fresh blood splattered everywhere.
After a short while, Gray and Viscount Fergus finished off the two assassins. When they arrived outside the castle, there was only a mutilated corpse left.
Viscount Fergus's study.
Gray and Viscount Fergus returned once again. In addition to the two of them, Bernal was also there.
"An assassin with the strength of a berserk warrior?
Gray, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? "
Bernal looked at Gray with a pale face.
Due to his lack of strength, he had stayed in the bedroom until the battle was completely over. Only then did he come out of the bedroom.
When he suddenly heard Gray say that there was a berserk warrior among the assassins, he could not help but be greatly shocked, and his mind went blank.
Berserk warriors, if placed in the Sidney Marquisdom, had the possibility of becoming a count's family. Although not all of them could become a count's family with the strength of a berserk warrior, there was no doubt that there was already such a possibility.
And such an existence was actually sent by the Shadow Serpent to assassinate the Fergus family?
If this was really the case, it was not difficult to imagine the Shadow Serpent's desire to kill the Fergus family.
"There's no mistake. The strength of a leopard type blood fiend is not inferior to a berserk warrior. To be able to contend against it, this person must be a berserk warrior."
Understanding Bernal's worries, Gray's expression turned slightly serious, and he nodded affirmatively.
"There shouldn't be a mistake. Judging from this person's appearance, he should be one of the three captains of the Shadow Serpent that Young Master Zaloyan once mentioned."
Viscount Fergus said in a deep voice.
"They even sent out a captain-level character. The Shadow Serpent really thinks highly of our Fergus family."
Bernal smiled bitterly.
"Indeed, this time, if not for Gray possessing that magic weapon, the Fergus family would definitely have been finished."
Viscount Fergus also had a lingering fear in his heart.
"Father, then what do we do now?
Should we report this matter to the Sidney family and ask for the Sidney family's support? "
Bernal's face was filled with anxiety. Being targeted by an assassination organization that had once been the enemy of the Sidney family, but had not been destroyed, his heart was filled with anxiety and fear.
"No, it's best to conceal this matter."
Viscount Fergus pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.
"A magic weapon that can control berserk blood fiends is of great importance. Although with my understanding of the Sidney family, they should not go so far as to snatch it, it's still better to be cautious."
"Then what about the Shadow Serpent?"
Bernal was anxious.
Viscount Fergus shook his head slightly, looked at Gray, and asked.
"Gray, what do you think?"
"I agree with Father's point of view. We should conceal this matter. Although according to common sense, the Sidney family should not snatch the magic weapon, we should still be careful."
Gray naturally agreed. After all, he could not take out such a magic weapon. If the Sidney family wanted to see it, then it would be terrible.
"As for the Shadow Serpent, after the last and this time's losses, I think they should not make a move against the Fergus family in the short term."
Speaking until here, Gray paused slightly.
"Moreover, the four blood fiends I control are all berserk blood fiends. Even if two ordinary berserkers come, I have the confidence to contend against them."
"That's good."
Hearing Gray say that he could contend against two berserkers, Viscount Fergus and Bernal heaved a sigh of relief.
According to the Sidney family's information, the Shadow Serpent only had three captain-level characters. Now that one of them had died, even if there were more assassins, there should not be more than two. It was still within the range of being able to deal with them.
As for the Barbarian Blood Warriors, the two subconsciously did not think about it.
Putting aside whether the Shadow Serpent existed for the time being, if such a thing really happened, it would be the same whether they reported it to the Sidney family or not. The Sidney family would not send a Barbarian Blood Warrior to oversee the Fergus family.
"Okay, it's decided!"
Viscount Fergus made a decision.
"Everyone is tired today. Go and rest first!"
