　　 In the magnificent hall, a long table is placed in the center, and members of the Campbell family have already taken their seats according to their identities.

　　 Roger sits in the main seat, but his face is a little gloomy.

Beside 　　, Alizee's expression was serious, and even Ikate, who had always been cynical, frowned.

　　 "Karen, this way."

　　 Not far away, Amos beckoned, Karen walked over and sat next to him.

"what happened?"

　　 Feeling the solemn atmosphere of the hall, Karen asked in a low voice.

　　 Amos shook his head, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face, and said: "O'Callan was assassinated!"

　　 A hint of surprise flashed through Karen's eyes.

　　 After the end of the war a few months ago, Maple Leaf City was captured by the Campbell family, and O'Callan also became the new lord of Maple Leaf City after marrying Ni Lan.

　　 At the same time, he is also the only person in the Northern Territory who has become the lord of the city as an apprentice knight, and the root of all this is because the object of his allegiance is the lord of the north wind.

　　 After Roger became a great knight and defeated the thundering kingdom's conspiracy, his power in the north was second only to Duke Joey, so he could break the rules and let O'Callan, who was only an apprentice knight, become the lord of Maple Leaf City.

　　 But now, O'Callan has been assassinated!

　　 "Shadow Fang?"

　　 Karen’s eyes flickered, and it’s no wonder that Roger's face was ugly. Now the situation in the Silver Star Kingdom is turbulent, and the confrontation between the North and the West has not yet begun, but the Ailin family has already taken action.

　　 The death of O'Callan is not necessarily an unbearable loss for the Campbell family, but it is a serious blow to the morale of the North.

　　Those assassins with shadow fangs have already sneaked into the northern territory, just like poisonous snakes hidden in the shadows, putting the leaders of the northern territory at risk.

　　 On the main seat of the hall, Roger waved his hand.

　　 It was originally a dinner party, but because of the news of O'Callan being assassinated, it became a little depressed. After Roger simply announced the start of the banquet, the maids brought food.

　　Only the sound of knives and forks colliding in the hall.

　　 The young people of the Campbell family all felt Roger's suppressed anger, so everyone did not dare to be too presumptuous, and the dinner ended in a dull atmosphere.

　　 Then, Campbell left in the hall one by one, leaving only Roger, Iket, Alizee, Amos, and Karen.

　　Hu!

　　 A blast of cold wind blew into the hall from the window, the candlelight on the long table flickered, Roger's face was gloomy, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

　　 At this time, a light snow suddenly fell outside.

　　 "Winter is coming?" Karen muttered to herself while looking at the snowflakes flying outside the window.

　　 After a while, Ikate said quietly.

　　 "The assassin of Shadow Fang has sneaked into the north, what are you going to do next?"

　　 Roger said nothing, his eyes flickering.

　　The assassins who sneaked into the north are like poisonous snakes hidden in the dark. Within half a month, they have launched more than ten more assassination operations.

　　Even though the Northern Territory had been prepared for it, it still suffered heavy losses. More than 20 northern aristocrats were killed, of which O'Callan was the highest-ranking one.

　　 "Strengthen your guard!"

　　 Roger took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "The war with the West is about to begin. The current situation in the North must not be chaotic!"

Beside 　　, Alizee hesitated.

　　 "But... what should we do?" Alizee frowned and shook her head: "The assassins of Shadow Fang are hidden in the dark. Even if the cities in the north are on guard, it is impossible to protect everyone."

　　 "I will leave Beifeng City tomorrow."

　　 At this time, Ikate said coldly: "In the next period of time, I will try my best to find the hidden poisonous snakes and kill them all!"

　　 Alizee shook her head and said, "This may not have much effect. The Assassins of Shadow Fang are the best at lurking, and the intelligence in our hands is not enough to clean them up."

　　 Today's Silver Star Kingdom, as the king's sudden death caused the situation to be turbulent, the northern border seems to be stable, but in fact undercurrents are surging.

　　Although Duke Joey has decided to form an alliance with Northwind City, there are still many objections within the Larrens family, and not everyone is willing to support Northwind City and Alizee.

　　 If it hadn't been for Duke Joey to stand out from the crowd, I'm afraid the alliance between Campbell and Larence would have been broken long ago.

　　 But even with the support of Duke Joey, there is still a small part of the Larrens family who has always been suspicious of the North Wind City, and even secretly established a connection with the Aylin family in the West.

　　 This time, the assassin of Shadow Fang's ability to sneak into the Northern Territory is likely to rely on the help of the local forces in the Northern Territory.

　　 For Roger, Shadow Fang has become a serious threat. If the assassins who have sneaked into the northern territory cannot be eliminated one by one within a certain period of time, it will inevitably lead to panic among the people in the northern territory.

　　Even, Duke Joey will be shaken, whether the decision to support the Northwind City is correct, even if he is the lord of the Larrens family, it is impossible to violate the will of all the family ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The hall fell silent again.

　　 Roger's face was gloomy and uncertain, and the presence of Shadow Fang had already posed a serious threat to the northern territory. If it could not be dealt with as soon as possible, it would inevitably lead to turbulence.

　　 But even if he knew the threat of Shadow Fang might threaten the situation in the North, Roger was still a little helpless.

　　 As Alizee said, the assassins of Shadow Fang are best at hiding. After they sneak into the north, they disguise themselves as various identities, maybe a farmer on the roadside, or disguise as an assassin.

　　O'Callan was killed by an assassin disguising his identity!

　　 That evening, O'Callan was patrolling Maple Leaf City as usual. He accidentally saw a girl buying oranges on the corner of the street. She was surprised by the other's looks and directly swept the girl back to the castle.

　　 After marrying Ni Lan, O'Callan is already the lord of Maple Leaf City. In a sense, the entire Maple Leaf City is his back garden. It is not a big deal to rob a civilian girl from the street.

　　 In fact, O'Callan has done similar things many times, and most of the residents of Maple Leaf City dare not say anything.

　　 It's just that O'Callan miscalculated this time.

　　 The girl he looted back to the castle is not a lamb to be slaughtered.

　　 That night, in O'Callan's room, the girl's wailing and begging for mercy lasted almost all night, but when the maid opened the door the next day, O'Callan's body was found on the bed.

　　 The sign of shadow and fangs was painted with blood on the wall. O'Callan was torn apart, his face looked extremely hideous, as if he had experienced a very painful experience before his death.

　　 As for the girl who bought oranges, she has long been missing.

　　 This incident quickly spread back to North Wind City, causing a haze in Roger's heart, and he felt a little bit tricky about the threat of Shadow Fang.
