Chapter 410
410 – Sudden changes within Ossen City
Han Shuo knew that Charles definitely wouldn’t let him off. However, Han Shuo didn’t expect that Charles’s retaliation would come so quickly and that violently.
That same night, Han Shuo who was studying the method of connecting to the netherworld suddenly felt through his consciousness several formidable auras that were gradually heading for his mansion from afar.
Han Shuo was suddenly roused from his contemplation, immediately sending out twelve mystic demons, spreading out in twelve directions with the mansion as the center, like a spider web.
A five hundred strong knight troop, including two hundred Temple knights from the Church of Light headed for Han Shuo’s mansion from four directions. The Church of Light’s light grand magus Kosse, a few other unfamiliar experts from the Church of Light as well as formidable deathsworn under Ashburn were separately leading troops as they encircled the mansion.
There was no moonlight that night. In the pitch-black curtain of night, they did not conceal themselves, simply heading openly toward Han Shuo’s mansion. Han Shuo was able to see the killing intent within the eyes of these knights.
Han Shuo was alarmed, hurriedly exiting his hidden room. The scene he saw through the twelve mystic demons simply exceeded Han Shuo’s imagination. No matter how large the influence Ashburn and Charles had, how would they dare to be so unbridled in the capital of Lancelot Empire, Ossen City?
The area Han Shuo was living in was surrounded by wealthy and respectable people and were all influential characters within the Empire. Even though it was a moonless night, such a large movement would definitely be unable to be concealed. Furthermore, Ossen City was the Dark Mantle’s headquarters. Ashburn was after all not King Uhtred. On what basis is he so unbridled?
A series of misgivings rushed into Han Shuo’s mind. He only felt that Ashburn must be insane. Such a crazy movement definitely shouldn’t be something that old fox dares to do. Unfortunately, with the appearance of Kosse and the presence of other members of his dukedom already proved that this operation is indeed incited by Ashburn.
While Han Shuo was still at a loss, a nearby mansion suddenly ignited in flames which reached the sky. A mystic demon just happened to see the situation in that direction and observed a group of knights charge in and kill everyone they see. In the blink of an eye, blood dyed the ground red and not even one servant was let off.
Within Ashburn’s mansion, Ashburn and Eldest Prince Charles were seated together with many supporting nobles who had darkened expressions. As they directed officers to seize important positions, they read out names of nobles one after another, sending their subordinates to go and eradicate them.
A mystic demon stayed in the vicinity and was able to clearly listen to the conversation between Ashburn, Charles and the others. Han Shuo finally understood that tonight’s incidents were indeed Ashburn and Charles fiercely striking back.
Out of a sudden, a mystic demon who had reached Boozt Merchant Guild ahead of time saw from afar a squadron of soldiers currently killing people unfeelingly. The merchants and guards of the Boozt Merchant Guild died tragically one after another under the arrows of these soldiers. However, it was fortunate that these people had just begun at the front of the building and clearly haven’t penetrated into the interior. Han Shuo reckoned that Phoebe was still fine for the time being.
However, Han Shuo was still extremely worried, activating the Art of Demonic Ninth Heavens to its peak, heading for the Boozt Merchant Guild with the speed of a meteor. He constantly prayed inwardly that nothing would happen to Phoebe. If anything happened to Phoebe, even though Han Shuo had previously promised Uhtred, he would ignore that promise and skin Charles alive.
