Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 368 Now that we are here
Fengyuan City, which has a history of more than 100 years, was not originally as large as it is now. With the rise of the Ralph family, the founding duke, the city's status and development also rose.
The more than 10,000 permanent residents made the original city area overcrowded. In addition, the Ralph family circled a lot of precious land in the inner city to operate the family's private property. The local residents who had no place to stand could only gradually migrate to the outside of the city. The inner city wall originally used for city defense was eventually abandoned with the wear and erosion of time. The bricks on the city wall were dismantled by civilians and pulled back to their homes by carriages to repair their houses.
The place chosen by Wayne as a sniper point was a relatively solid sentry tower on the inner city wall. There were dozens of such wall buildings in Fengyuan City, but they were basically severely damaged, and even the roofs and stairs were rotten. In addition, the dampness and waterlogging caused by the sinking of the foundation over the years, snakes, insects, rats and ants were rampant everywhere. Even local homeless people did not choose to use this place as a shelter from the wind and rain.
"This abandoned tower is opposite the Eagle House in the center of the city. No one would come here on weekdays. I think it's perfect." Wayne took advantage of the night to touch the edge of the city wall, looking at the towering abandoned building above his head and muttering.
A black cat with dark green eyes and extremely smooth fur squatted at his feet, and spoke in the voice of a young man, "Yes, it is indeed a hidden place..."
"I can't use flying magic in the city at will, so I can only trouble you to climb up by yourself." The black cat said with a smile, and took the lead in jumping onto the raised stone bricks, jumping and climbing to the top of the tower.
Wayne smiled bitterly, bent down to take off the leather boots on his feet and hung them around his neck, clasped his hands in the gap between the stone bricks, and used the strong and agile physical fitness of the blood warrior to climb up quickly and quietly.
"When will Ms. Astrologer join us? Or... will she retreat first after completing the task of luring the Duke to the Eagle House?"
The black cat squatted on the parapet on the top of the tower and stretched his body. "Don't worry... First, you can determine the possible location of Duke Ralph through observation and the timing of action."
Wayne nodded, took out the "Barrett" from the gun bag behind him and assembled it quickly, then took a deep breath and put his eyes close to the alchemical sight. After resisting a dizzy feeling, he quickly zoomed in to the Eagle House Tower a thousand meters away.
As the intelligence said, this tower-like Eagle House is extremely conspicuous among the low buildings in Fengyuan City. It is built with huge pure white slabs of stone. Except for the crimson gate at the bottom, it is about three or four stories high, which is comparable to the scale of an expensive wizard tower.
There are several open windows on each floor of the Eagle House, and a huge iron frame is set up on the top terrace for the trained Frost Wing Eagles to rest.
Wayne was observing carefully, thinking quickly about the possible location of the target, and estimating the timing of the attack, when he suddenly heard a strange sound of bones rubbing and twisting.
He turned his head quickly and found that the black cat transformed by Mr. Illusion Eye was taking advantage of the cover of the night, expanding and finally returning to its original appearance in a wizard robe.
"Please don't mind. It's just that the time for the illusion has come..." The Eye of Illusion shook his robe, approached and pointed in the direction of the Eagle House and asked, "What do you think? Do you plan to take action when the Duke just emerges from the ground... or wait until he climbs up to the Eagle House?"
Wayne was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let me think about it again... I must ensure that there is no mistake. I only have two chances to take action, and it is very likely that after the first miss, the opponent will not give me the opportunity to shoot a second bullet."
The moonlight outside the tower suddenly became a little brighter, shining through the wall crenel into the abandoned top, and a warm and cold female voice also instantly came into Wayne's ears with the moonlight.
"Mr. Wayne, forgive me for being blunt... You should not intend to follow the instructions of Sir Harvey, but just to intimidate Duke Ralph, right?"
The astrologer lady arrived at the tower at some point, and spoke lightly, but she said what Wayne was thinking.
Yes! He really didn't intend to let the Duke go easily. With the powerful magic weapon developed by the Lord himself, he traveled thousands of miles to sneak into the opponent's lair, and there were two high-level wizards working together. This opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Wayne.
As long as he successfully assassinated the target, he could completely solve the current major problem for Lord Harvey. This was too tempting for Wayne.
As for the fact that he could also save countless innocent people in the surrounding counties who were forcibly conscripted and looted, Wayne didn't think so deeply... According to the Lord's words, this was a typical lack of ideological awareness, a complete loyal warmonger.
"Now that we are here..." Wayne muttered to himself, "You two won't stop me, will you? If the adults hold me accountable, I will take full responsibility."
The Eye of Illusion and the Astrologer looked at each other and laughed, "Of course not. I admire your decisiveness and ruthlessness. Hehe, let's talk... how do you need us to cooperate?"
"It's not enough to just lead Duke Ralph to the Eagle Room... We have to find a way to get him to the top floor, preferably to stay on the terrace for a while." Wayne already had a general idea and plan in his mind.
The Astrologer pondered for a moment and said, "There are no spellcasters among the permanent guards in the Eagle Room. I have found a way to plant parasitic spells on those Frostwing Eagles..."
In other words, if no one noticed the abnormality of the trained eagles, the astrologer could accurately control the time of their death when she wanted them to die suddenly.
...
So the three of them immediately began to discuss the detailed implementation of the plan - the guards and falconers in the eagle room would release some of the trained and mature frost-winged eagles every morning, let them move freely over Fengyuan City for a while, and then use eagle whistles and fresh meat to attract them back to the nest.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
As for those wild and difficult to tame that have just been captured, they need to be covered with blindfolds and anklets and locked in the eagle room for a period of time. If they are easily released, they will easily never come back.
This gives the astrologer a very suitable opportunity to operate - first induce the parasitic seeds in the bodies of the frost-winged eagles left in the eagle room, so that they suddenly die or are seriously injured... Regardless of whether the falconers rescue them in time, they will definitely report the situation to Duke Ralph immediately.
When the Duke arrives in person and finds such a large number of casualties among the trained falcons, he will definitely ask his men to recall the Frostwing Falcons that were released in the morning. At this time, the astrologer will repeat the operation again and lead the Duke, who loves eagles, to the top of the tower...
The top of the eagle room tower is a circular platform, which is narrow and can barely accommodate a few people, and it is located at a high point with no shelter around it.
Then...it is naturally time for the elite sniper Wayne to perform.
