Spacious main fort, swaying lights.

Gorgeous candlesticks adorn the room, and the red fireplace exudes a warm atmosphere and dispels the cold.

Duke Sitney stopped breathing, opened his deep pupils, and the chaotic sounds in the castle were clearly heard in his ears.

With a frown, he stood up and walked to the Baiyu balcony overlooking Baker Castle.

The moonlight is hazy, and the castle at night recovers from the silence. Countless lights are on, and soldiers of the Baker family are wearing blue armor, walking in the corridor, guarding the key positions of the castle.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four consecutive balls of extremely hot flames swept over the castle, tearing open the dark night, mixed with many screams and whining.

The strong wind blew the gray-white temples, and Duke Sitney looked at everything in front of him with a plain expression, and methodically took out a long and narrow sword from the space ring.

The sword is more than four feet long, with cold light flashing, and the sword body is wrapped with patterns, layered like scales. What is unique is that the hilt of the sword is inlaid with azure stone, and a touch of cold breath is swallowed and vomited.

"A boring trick, a sound attack?"

Duke Sitney chuckled, memory flowed, Baker Castle seemed to have not been invaded by foreign enemies for a long time, and the incident tonight was a good lesson for the family soldiers who had been fighting in Jiuli.

"Peggy, inform Youlan Guards and prepare to take action and find those ants!"

A calm voice floated in the room, but did not wait for the response Duke of Sitney wanted.

With a creak, the door opened gently, and the cold wind blew, and the air gradually filled with the smell of copper rust.

Duke Sitney turned around, pointed at the ground with a narrow sword, and a crimson figure reflected in his eyes. Suddenly, blood desire suddenly rose deep in his heart.

Gulu! Gulu!

A strange sound, black and red round objects bounced and rolled to the soft carpet.

Duke Sitney looked at it in a gloomy expression. What reflected in his vision was a broken head with blood, revealing his desperate old face, which he was very familiar with.

"Peggy? Very good old housekeeper, and his strength is pretty good. Unfortunately, I can't bear the torture and tell you where you live." Katerina said lightly, the dagger dancing at her fingertips, stained with sticky blood.

"Well... are Peggy and the Blue Guards hidden by the Baker family? Duke of Sitney."

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Duke Sitney asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? It is a serious crime to openly attack the nobles of the Stoke Kingdom!"

"Assaulting a noble is a serious crime?" Katerina sneered softly, and the scars on her left eye looked a little fierce: "What is the crime if you treason?"

Duke Sitney raised his eyebrows and realized something. In recent days, the Baker family's intelligence point set up in Limontanelu was sent back a lot of news, but only Lena's related news was missing.

Now it seems that there is a lot of danger, and even the family's future plans are exposed.

"Waloran's Collar?" Duke Sitney said word by word, cold air covering his body, and white mist condensed the air.

Apart from the legendary forces in the North, he could not think of any other forces that dared to offend the Baker family.

【Ejection Blade】!

The answer to Duke Sitney was a sharp dagger, which was like blood-colored lightning flashing through the space and raided near.

Sharp!

The narrow sword filled with cold energy danced, knocking away the dagger that was coming. Duke Sitney and Katerina looked at each other with their eyes, and the murderous intent in their pupils was unconcealed.

【ICYOU ·Running】!

In the bright room, a flash of blue light suddenly appeared, and the intersection of the cold waves weaved, rushing towards Katerina.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The crisp explosion sounds were filled with gilded walls, gorgeous candlesticks, quaint furniture, and silver jewelry all turned into pieces under the impact of the sharp swords. In an instant, the originally luxurious room fell into ruin.

“Unparalleled!”

Looking at the light coming in front of her, Katerina did not choose to retreat. Her excitement was beyond words. She took a light step and held the dagger in her back hand, bullying her body forward.

The moment he advanced, the sound of sharp blades fighting sounded like an ensemble piano music resounding throughout the room, and the subtle energy fluctuations were perfectly controlled in each attack, until they attacked Duke Sitney, as if blood was gushing, and it was released.

Unexpected attack method, in the fifty-year life of Duke Sitney, few assassins chose such violent battles, but more rely on lurking and assassination.

But this is very consistent with his wishes. As a high-level swordsman who is only one step away from entering the legendary path, he is particularly good at head-on confrontation.

The lights went out, and the battle between the two completely broke the limits that their eyes could bear, and blurred afterimages were reflected in the twisted air.

The seemingly open and close posture was hidden in Katerina's subtle movements. She was constantly adapting to the battle situation, trying to seize every flaw of Duke Sitney.

Soon, Katerina's mouth was filled with bloodthirsty smile. She saw the show-off sword technique during the battle, the elegance and arrogance of the nobles, and the extra movements.

Inexplicably, when Duke Sitney saw Katerina's smile, his heart trembled slightly, trying to retract the narrow sword and come to his front, but he was one step late.

Chih!

A sharp dagger slashed across his face, and a few drops of crystal blood sputtered into the air, reflecting the magic light.

"Is that only the strength?" Katerina bent down slightly, the dagger dancing in her hands, and her wild eyes released an amazing fighting spirit. "Have you taken the high-level profession with the essence of legend, half-step legend?"

"It's much weaker than I thought!"

Hearing the sarcastic words, Duke Sitney's left hand, which was originally covering the scars on his face, gently lowered his expression, with a bit of blood dripping down his fingers on the carpet.

【ICYOUGH · Explosion】!

In front of his chest holding the sword, the rich cold current exploded at the feet of Duke Sitney, as if awakening the frost energy flowing in the air, forming a winter storm sweeping the room behind him.

【ICYOU CROSS · Break the Sky】!

Duke Sitney stepped forward, and a narrow sword stabbed out.

Rumble!

An ice-blue avalanche appeared out of thin air, filled the room with dense roars, as if a disaster really happened in the snow-capped mountains, from virtual to real, in less than a second.

The huge snowstorm impact force turned into a blue monster, crazily shattering all obstacles in front of him, and then gathering all the power to oppress Katerina toward the center point.

And Katerina's response is simple.

She was like a afterimage composed of crimson and cold light, perfect skills and inner fighting spirit were injected into her slashing again and again with the same force, facing the terrifying avalanche that was rushing towards the rushing terrifying avalanche.

The ice-blue avalanche looks even colder and more powerful than the fire storm of Katerina.

Bang!

The dull collision sounded quietly, and Katerina flew backwards out of the room and fell into the corridor, and red blood spilled on the carpet covered with white frost.

The grand scene of the battle between the main fort attracted the attention of many soldiers of the Baker family. They wanted to come over, but they were attacked by death on the bluestone path in front of the main fort.

The soldiers of the Ominous Blade Legion appeared and became the slaughter messengers in the dark shadows, crazily harvesting the lives of the soldiers, and the blood poured on the soil. No one could get close to the main fort.

"Huh! In comparison, it seems that you are weaker than me!"

In the ruined room, Duke Sitney gasped and laughed softly, his face looked a little scary.

Moving his body slightly, Duke Sitney walked towards the collapsed corridor. He saw the dagger falling to the ground and looked extremely sarcastic.

"It's time to end, Valoran's assassin, you chose the wrong target!"

“It’s really time to end.”

The cold words came from the ruined corridor, causing Duke Sitney to pause.

The next moment, the crimson figure rushed out of the collapsed corridor. In the haze, Duke Sitney saw a touch of extreme red light.

【Instant Step】!

Caterina flickered across the space to Duke Sitney's side, and a rich blood color appeared in her eyes.

【greedy】!

The red life energy wrapped around the dagger on the ground, retracted it into the palm of Katerina's palm, and left a hideous scar on Duke Sitney's body.

Looking up at the enemy who was close to him, Katerina smiled slightly and held the dagger tightly.

"Dance of the Blade!"

【Death Lotus】!

【Death Lotus: Katerina transforms into a sword-blade hurricane, quickly swings the dagger to the nearest enemy target. Each time she swings the dagger, it will cause terrifying damage to the target.】

From quiet to dynamic, Catalina is like a dancer in the palace, swinging the dagger at a very fast speed, and the seamless movements are connected with the red life energy to release a devastating and beautiful flower.

The blade cuts the air, cuts the blocking feeling, and then it is air again.

Then, countless drops of dark red blood slowly bloomed in the cold air.

Brilliant and dazzling!

With the help of the inertia of movement, Katerina passed by Duke Sitney and gently took off the terrified and desperate head.

Dong!

The headless corpse fell to the ground, and the blood gushed out of the neck rendered the snow frost on the ground, with bright red and white mixed together, looking strangely beautiful.

Katerina stood in the room of money, staring at Baker Castle in chaos, and chuckled gently, intoxicating, but unfortunately no one could see it.

She also saw the killing results of the Ominous Blade Legion soldiers, and the piles of corpses paved the way.

Katerina's mission is very simple. Assassinating the main members of the Baker family made the Baker family fall into internal struggles for power, resulting in chaos in the southern provinces and having no time to take into account the wars that took place in the north and the division of the Stoke Kingdom.

The first step has been successfully completed. The contemporary head of the Baker family, Duke Sitney, confirmed his death. It is the turn of the direct line.

This is different from the destruction of the Jeffrey family by Valoran. It is to fully occupy the territory and interests of the Jeffrey family. Now what Katerina has done is just assassination, but it looks good.

At least after the end tonight, civil strife among the Baker family will spread to the southern provinces.

This is because the benefits occupied by the Baker family are too huge. They still have the strength to protect their own interests before tonight, but now the chaos is gradually rising and they are no longer the past.

"The killing continues!"

Katerina leaped gently and disappeared into the dark night. At the same time, the soldiers of the Ominous Blade Legion in front of the main castle also disappeared one after another.

Wait for a while, bursts of exclamations came from Baker Castle. Duke Sitney's headless body was found, and then the direct members of the Baker family continued to die under the flames.
Chapter completed!
