Chapter 169 Source Quality

"Earl Fishbone...the whole army was wiped out?"

"Not only that, but Stuttgart has also become a ghost town, and no one has survived."

In Falcon Castle, the nobles attending the clan meeting were silent.

Some people are working very hard to digest this unexpected news, while more people have fallen into a completely bewildered mood, and their minds have gone blank.

At first, everyone was relieved when they learned that Rutlingen and Metzingen had been occupied.

After all, the small town of Hessingen is too close to Falcon Castle. The war front line is located here, as if a sword is placed on the neck. This feeling is definitely uncomfortable.

The occupation of the two small towns gave the Falcon family enough strategic depth for the first time, and they no longer had to worry about Count Fishbone's army pressing down on them at any time to "bombard the headquarters."

Although I have never heard of the Cang Qing Sword Mercenary Group before, this employment business seems to be quite cost-effective at present. If it were the Iron Cross Mercenary Group, I am afraid that they might not be able to achieve this kind of success.

The ultra-high efficiency of the two cities.

Not long after, news came from the front that the town of Prossingen had been recovered.

The geographical location of Prossingen is very important, located in the middle of the road between Stuttgart and Ulm. Occupying this place is tantamount to cutting off the connection between the two cities, leaving the Fishbone Count of Stuttgart in an isolated and helpless situation.

So everyone immediately rushed to tell each other happily. At this point, the balance of war has been completely overturned, and the dawn of the goddess of victory has shone on the head of the falcon.

The next step is to surround Stuttgart airtight and wait for the morale of the defenders inside to collapse and surrender.

Alas, hiring the Cangqing Sword mercenary group is really the wisest decision made by Lord Frederick! 7,800 gold coins are exchanged for a principality. How can there be such a good business in the world!

Frederick also smiled and said nothing to the courtesy of the family members. Of course, he would not show his inner ecstasy, but showed an unexpectedly calm expression of "Haha, I knew this a long time ago", which immediately made people laugh.

The nobles who came to visit were all impressed by him, and their prestige in the family also followed him up several levels.

The day was not over yet. As evening approached, news came that Stuttgart had been captured and Count Fishbone's entire army had been wiped out.

Logically speaking, this news is the biggest news today.

However, all the nobles who heard the news were unusually expressionless.

Wait, Stuttgart is a big city! Count Fishbone’s permanent army alone already numbers tens of thousands, right? How many people are there in that mercenary group?

Fake news, it must be fake news. Are today’s scouts so unprofessional?

This atmosphere of suspicion enveloped the entire family. On the surface, everyone pretended that they had not received the news at all, and secretly asked their subordinates to quickly investigate and report again.

It was not until after dinner that the news was confirmed.

"Um, Lord Frederick?"

"Huh?" Frederick was also obviously a little distracted.

"Stuttgart has fallen."

"That's a good thing, a good thing." Frederick said perfunctorily.

What a good thing God has done! The nobleman who spoke to him was on the verge of tears.

It would be a good thing if we only captured Stuttgart. After all, for a large city with a population of 100,000, the labor force and tax revenue alone are a huge fortune every year.

But this Blue Sword mercenary group... they didn't just capture Stuttgart! They wiped this city off the map!

One hundred thousand people... were lost like that? Not completely?

Are you sacrificing the entire city's residents to the devil?

By the time Cang Qing Sword and the others returned, the rumor of the cult's sacrifice had spread throughout the castle, and the servants in the corridor had taken a detour when they saw them.

Girls:???

When he came to Frederick's study, the count did not believe the nonsense told by the cult. However, his wife stuffed an amulet for him, and he just put it in his pocket just in case.

At this time, seeing the Cang Qing Sword people arriving, he squeezed the amulet in his pocket and said with a smile:

"Everyone, you are finally back."

"Earl Fishbone is probably dead." Asker said, "Just send some manpower to take over Stuttgart tomorrow."

"Dead?" Frederick frowned.

"Well, he's dead." Of course Asik wouldn't say anything more, "Then, our reward..."

"Of course." Frederick nodded quickly, not daring to say more or ask, "We have prepared the second installment. Let the butler take you to the warehouse to collect it."

So everyone went to the Falcon family's warehouse to collect the money.

On the other side, a few hours ago, people from the School of Life were also dealing with the greenskins in Stuttgart overnight.

"Some citizens are deeply infected by the source of the disease and cannot be saved. Some can barely be saved. But there will be sequelae."

"Cells divide too many times, which will eventually damage your lifespan. It's okay when you're young, but you're more likely to get cancer when you reach middle age. But it's a mutation after all, so you're lucky to survive."

"The Lord, Count Württemberg, was found dead in his own castle, and all his direct heirs were also killed in the mutation. It is estimated that Stuttgart will be taken over by the Falcon family in the south, but they have not sent anyone here yet...

…”

"Where is the target?" Llewellyn, the current leader of the School of Life, interrupted his subordinates' divergent thinking.

"We have searched in several designated locations." The transcendent man said quickly, "At the bottom of the signal tower on the top of Popsar Mountain, we found the target's body and successfully recovered the Sarmatian source of matter.

'. Fortunately, the killer was not aware of what was inside his body, otherwise we would be in trouble once the body is taken away."

"The location of the target's body came from the information provided by the leader of the Cang Qing Sword?" Llewellyn's face darkened, "What was the cause of death?"

"Gunshot wounds, two bullets, one shot through the head, one breaking the neck, and injuries caused by falling from a height." The extraordinary person lowered his head and said, "In addition, there are traces of the Styx at the scene."

"Styx?"

"Yes, on the ground near the corpse, plants and microorganisms have experienced a certain degree of depletion. The closer to the position of the corpse, the more severe the depletion phenomenon is. It should be that the River Styx has flowed here in a short period of time."

"In addition, the extraordinary properties of the corpse's condensation have also been taken away. From this evidence, it can be shown that a certain demigod from the undead sequence has been here, killed the target and took away the properties, and it is very likely that he has searched

The memory of the deceased is also consistent with the 'witnessing and fighting from a distance' reported by the Cangqing Sword Mercenary Group..."

"If it was really a member of the Spiritual Body Sect, why were there gunshot wounds on the body?" Llewellyn still felt something was wrong.

However, after all, not everyone can summon the River Styx.

It can even be said that wherever the River Styx appears, it can be 100% certain that the ferryman from the Spiritual Body Sect has been there.

"First file the information and submit it to the great elders." Llewellyn said coldly.

To be on the safe side, I’ll check with the Cang Qing Sword mercenary group later.
