Chapter 677: Chapter 274: Soaring Points, 1 Million Ice Dragon Marks! (6000)_3

“I understand, I’ll be right there.”

Yes, ever since giving that Shadow Cloak earlier in the day, Cao Xing had been intermittently monitoring that boy Fitz Walker.

His movements were quite normal. After leaving Cao Xing’s territory during the day, he went to trouble other survivors’ territories, forcing them to pay taxes.

And these survivors didn’t have the strength like Cao Xing.

They could only obediently hand over their supplies,

making their already impoverished territories even worse.

After acting high and mighty for a while, the baron’s son returned to the Baron Mansion.

Afterward, nothing special happened, other than the baron’s son seeking entertainment with a few maids.

Various lewd sounds filled the air.

By now, it seemed something unexpected had occurred.

The baron, who had been poisoned by Fitz Walker, had awoken.

From the sounds, it was clear the boy was panicked.

He hadn’t even taken the Shadow Cloak before hurriedly leaving his room.

Cao Xing was quite curious about what the baron would say upon awakening.

Would he discover that Fitz Walker was a member of the Light Church, or recognize that it was he who poisoned him?

About half an hour later, footsteps echoed once more.

The reception quality of the small communication device was still quite good.

This time, however, there were two sets of footsteps.

Then, in Cao Xing’s ear, a woman’s voice emerged.

“Child, don’t be sad. Although your father is strict with you, he actually values you greatly.”

“I know… Mother, Father is under the protection of the Goddess, he will be fine. Tomorrow, I’ll go to Merlin City, to the Eternal Frost Main City, to find the best doctors to treat Father!”

“Child… you have a good heart.”

“…”

From the conversation between Fitz Walker and his mother, Cao Xing learned.

This time the baron’s awakening was a rally of strength before death, and he was nearing the end.

The Baron Mansion had even sent someone to the Eternal Frost Main City to report this news.

Then, when the baron died, people from the Main City would come to bear witness.

Fitz Walker would be able to assume the baron’s position.

After hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Cao Xing’s lips.

The boy was progressing quickly, it seemed the plan would succeed soon.

And Fitz Walker would be at his disposal, allowing him to have the boy do certain things on his behalf.

However, it still wasn’t very secure.

It would be best to find something to control the boy, holding him firmly in hand.

By then, controlling this Puppet Baron would equate to indirectly gaining the natives’ privileges.

With that thought, Cao Xing went to sleep peacefully.

…

Not long after they had fallen asleep,

a massive lake situated over a thousand kilometers away from the territory was populated by numerous figures.

On the icy surface, a figure in a red robe gazed at the giant city nearby.

At this moment, a White Robed Priest approached and asked, “Lord Bishop, are we starting tonight?”

The Red Robed Bishop nodded, “Hmm, there are no leads in the Witch Forest for the time being. The assassin is extremely cautious and powerful, definitely a master above the Sixth Tier!”

“The Light Seed has commanded, to prevent any more unexpected events at the Gale Snow Plain, we’ll commence action tonight!”

“Bishop Sains and Bishop Bella have both arrived.”

“Even that one… was dispatched by the Light Seed.”

“This time, there will be no more mistakes!”

Hearing this, the White Robed Priest’s eyes lit with excitement.

“Excellent, we are finally reaching the last step of the plan!”

They continued to wait silently.

About five minutes later, a change flickered on the Red Robed Bishop’s face.

Then, he looked at the clergy behind him, madness gleaming in his eyes.

“Everyone, are you prepared to offer your lives to the Light God?”

The cultists on the field raised their weapons high, responding in unison,

“Ready, willing to surrender all to the Lord of Light God!”

At the same time,

in the giant city of Dorun Lake City, home to over a million people, a massive number of masked individuals in black infiltrated tonight.

They swaggered through the city gates.

The soldiers guarding the city ignored their arrival, even nodding slightly at them.

Simultaneously, a golden barrier suddenly ascended, enveloping the entire city!

In this dark night, a sun suddenly appeared in the sky!

Countless residents, asleep in their rooms, suddenly saw their windows flood with light.

“Johnny, is it morning already? I feel like I haven’t slept long?”

“Carol, you overslept. Hurry and get dressed, we need to go gather herbs today.”

“Haken, you lazybones, get up!”

“…”

Many residents of the city, groggily stepped out of their homes, and upon seeing the spectacle above, were astonished.

“By the gods! It’s not morning; it’s a sun suddenly appearing over Dorun Lake City!”

“Silo! Old Master Bruce! Come out quickly and see! A divine phenomenon has appeared!”

At the same time,

in the City Lord Mansion at the city’s center, a robust-looking man in his forties, with an imposing presence akin to an unyielding rock, abruptly awoke.

He immediately grabbed the treasure sword by his bedside, rushing out of the City Lord Mansion like a tiger freed from a cage!

“Boom!”

Everything along his path, the furniture and windows, shattered under his fearsome momentum.

And when he saw the scene above him, his expression changed immediately!
