Chapter 264 The Faceless (38/102)
Because of the harsh selection, there are only more than one hundred faceless people in the entire shadow organization. This number has been accumulated over twenty years. Faceless people start to perform tasks formally at the age of twenty, and will be abandoned when they are forty.
This means that at the most in the entire shadow organization, there will only be one hundred and forty faceless people.
Since they are all in quite dangerous tasks, there will always be some losses over the years, which will keep the average number of people at around 100.
At present, these two faceless people were transferred from Jacob to protect him. With these two people, the second young master only brought two personal guards. Even if he brought a whole team of personal guards, Eugen could leave safely.
At this moment, the second young master was staring at the two people blankly, and his strong sense of fear almost suffocated him. He had only heard of the mysterious legends of these faceless people. In the mouths of adults, they were the devils used to scare children.
Sometimes children are naughty and unwilling to sleep, and their parents will say in a threatening tone: "If you are not good, there will be people hiding in the shadow to capture you."
From this we can also see how terrible the reputation of this mysterious assassination organization is.
His personal guard was stopped, and the second young master was so scared that his legs trembled. He turned around and looked at Eugen, forcibly showed a stiff smile, and said flatteringly: "Hehe, that, Eugen, I was just kidding you, I hope you don't mind."
Eugen rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to him, so he raised his hand and slapped it hard on the second young master's face.
The second young master was slapped in the air and turned five or six times before falling to the ground. Then he fainted when his eyes turned white.
Eugen shook his right hand that was vaguely painful, looked at the protruding slap marks on the second young master's face, and then said, "Hmph, I can't cure you this time. I don't know how many people will come to cause trouble for me in the future. I might as well kill the chicken to scare the monkey and let everyone calm me down."
Afterwards, Eugen ordered two soldiers to drag the second young master down, and then whip made of cowhide with salt water and slapped the second young master ten times.
During this period, the second young master woke up once because of severe pain, and fainted after a moment. This kind of whipping is a punishment in the army. The person who was sentenced will feel an unimaginable severe pain, which is worse than death.
The second young master, who has lived a good life since childhood, could not withstand this severe pain? After the ten whips were gone, he was already dying. When Eugen saw that he was half dead, he bypassed him.
This painful lesson will probably leave an indelible impression in the second young master's mind, and will also make him clearly realize how terrible it is to offend him.
The tragic experience of the second young master and the appearance of the faceless man pushed Eugen's power to a new level. Everyone in the entire Po River defense line was nervous and strictly abide by the various regulations formulated by Eugen. No one dared to easily violate it.
Even the always tough Count Sartre was rarely silent this time, as if the one who was beaten was not his son.
In fact, Eugen's own strength is nothing to count as Count Sartre. What is really terrifying is the Faceless People in the Shadow Organization.
The Duke of Ji'an gave Eugen the Faceless, which was a signal that Eugen had his full trust and could even determine the life and death of many people.
Eugen killed a noble in person and would be condemned by the noble world, but if he sent a faceless person to send him out and secretly created some "accident" to make someone die, then no one could find him.
The death threat from Eugen has become strong and real with the addition of the Faceless Man. Now all the nobles are trembling, fearing that Eugen, the bloodthirsty madman, will start killing and find their own head.
Earl Sartre was no exception. For the sake of his own safety and the safety of his family, he finally wisely admitted his timidity and no longer held Eugen responsible.
After rectifying the defensive forces of the Po River defense line, Eugen was able to free up time to find Father Martin Luther.
He had learned from Dimit that Father Martin Luther had really taken the initiative to move out of the house. Now he is staying in the library of the largest cathedral in Verona, compiling the Book of Redemption day after day.
Father Martin Luther has almost entered a state of retreat and submissive cultivation. He has to send all his daily food and drinks by his servants. Even if no one delivers food to him, Father Luther will not come out to ask about it, as if he has no impression of eating or not eating.
Moreover, the food delivery person can only put things at the door. If he dares to step into the room, he will be beaten by Father Luther. Father Luther does not allow anyone to disturb him. His extreme state is like a madman.
Eugen expressed his understanding of this. Sometimes, people do need to be crazy to achieve great things.
When Eugen felt relieved when he learned that the safety of Priest Luther was not a problem, he did not go to visit and disturb him again, but instead turned his attention to other things.
His eyes were directed at the robbers entrenched outside the Pohe defense line.
As early as two months ago, Eugen had the intention to solve these robbers. On the one hand, it was to eliminate hidden dangers and avenge the poor people killed by robbers; on the other hand, it was naturally for the treasures accumulated by the robbers.
At present, Lebour City has entered a period of great exhibitions, and a huge war is still going on around it. It is difficult to guarantee that the war will spread to Lebour area whenever.
In any aspect, Lebour City is in urgent need of a fund injection at the moment.
What's more, even if Eugen is not short of money, how could he be willing to let those beautiful gold coins stay in the hands of those ugly robbers?
Because of the battle with Viscount Tarik, this incident was delayed for a while, but Eugen naturally could not forget it. In fact, he had to talk about this incident almost every night during the past two months.
Sometimes when you dream, you will dream of lying on the pile of gold coins in the robber's treasure cave. The golden light illuminates the entire treasure cave. The pile of gold coins is surrounded by the corpses of dead robbers. Even if they are dead, the robbers still reach out to the pile of gold coins, trying to capture those treasures.
Every time he dreams of this, Eugen will wake up, afraid that the robbers will snatch his treasures away, but when he opens his eyes, all the gold coins disappear, and he will feel very disappointed again.
This matter is urgent. In order to kill the robber more efficiently, Eugen directly transferred two hundred Longxiang troops and five hundred light cavalry from Leibir City.
