Chapter 79 Cannon Fodder Concentration

Chapter 79 Cannon Fodder Concentration

Following the directions given by the kind old man, Broly quickly arrived at the top floor of the city lord's mansion.

Pushing open the door, I entered a spacious bedroom.

Soon, they found three women hiding under the table, looking somewhat frightened and uneasy.

"Which of you is the Marquis of Bosier?"

Broly put the table he was holding on the other side and asked the three people who were hugging each other.

"None of us are."

Upon hearing the question, the three women who were found shook their heads in alarm and vehemently denied the allegations.

"Isn't the Marquis of Bosier here?"

Broly was somewhat disappointed.

"The Marquis has already left; he was escorted away by his personal guards."

One of the women quickly replied that the boy in front of her had bloodstains on him and must be the dwarf assassin who broke into the city lord's mansion. She was worried that if she spoke too slowly, he would kill her.

"He's already left, so where did he go?"

Broly pressed for an answer.

"I'm sorry, we really didn't know. We're just the Marquis's pets."

The woman explained.

"Okay, so which one of you is Trevina?"

Broly asked again.

"Tevina is the Marquis's mistress, and she occasionally serves him with us, but she's not here right now."

"Where is she?"

"We don't know either, please don't kill us, please!"

The three women couldn't take it anymore. Under Broly's somewhat indifferent gaze (actually a very calm gaze, like Saitama's innocent eyes, but with blood on them, it became subtly terrifying), they started to cry.

"You didn't attack me, why would I kill you?"

Broly was somewhat puzzled.

"By the way, could you help me find Marquis Bosier? I have some questions I'd like to ask him."

Broly was stating objective facts, but the three women interpreted it as coercion.

"We understand, we will do our best to help you find the Marquis, sir..."

They walked out the door crying, knowing that if they helped the assassin find the Marquis, they might be killed by the Marquis's guards when they finally found him.

But they had no choice, because if they didn't seek help, they might be killed by the harmless dwarf assassins behind them.

As for Broly's words, whether they are true or not, well, rather than believing him, it's better to believe that there is light and justice in this world, and to believe that one day, a righteous person will suddenly appear and help them be rescued from their status as slaves.

Broly didn't think too much about it. He just felt that there were still some kind-hearted people in the city lord's mansion, such as the uncle who gave him directions before, and the three older sisters who were willing to help him find Marquis Bosier after he asked them to.

"My lord, where are you?"

"Please, please come out."

"The assassin is looking for you."

Crying and shouting, the three female slaves felt as if their lives were like candles flickering in the wind, and that they might reach their end at any moment.

While others were helping to find people, Broly himself was not idle either. He searched through the other rooms one by one, and found new people one after another.

Of those who were found, few attacked Broly again, because the ones who could attack Broly were the guards of the city lord's mansion, but most of them died on the first floor. They attacked Broly to stop him from invading the city lord's mansion and were killed by Broly in retaliation.

The only people still alive in the city lord's mansion are some clerical staff responsible for its normal operation. Most of them were terrified and, after being found by Broly, quickly followed in the footsteps of the three female slaves and joined the search for the Marquis.

Every now and then, someone would sneak away, but upon reaching the first floor, they would be horrified by the gruesome scene of corpses in a corridor.

Adding to the fear, there was a guy outside peeking out, holding a rifle, who looked like an accomplice of the assassins. When he saw them, he waved at them, seemingly wanting them to come out so he could kill them. This scared the group back.

The young guard stood at the entrance of the city lord's mansion, somewhat frightened, but encouraged by the departing marquis, he suppressed his fear and remained there to faithfully perform his duties for the marquis.

Fortunately, the terrifying assassin boy did not appear; instead, some administrative staff from the city lord's mansion would come down from time to time.

However, he was quickly frightened away by the terrifying scene on the first floor, which made him somewhat distressed as he wanted to call them out to take refuge.

"These civilian staff members are too timid..."

The young guard thought to himself, but he was actually quite scared, as evidenced by his reluctance to enter the blood-soaked city lord's mansion.

I wonder when the Marquis will return with reinforcements. If I can't hold off that assassin before then, I don't know if I'll go from being a meritorious hero to a guilty person reprimanded by the Marquis.

The young guard was lost in thought, but it was in this way that he was dispelling the fear that kept rising in his heart.

. . . .

On the other side, Marquis Bosier quickly arrived at the city's Armaments Department after leaving the city lord's mansion.

"I was assassinated, and right here in my own city lord's mansion! How could you, the commander of the military equipment department, allow such a dangerous assassin to infiltrate my city?"

Faced with the questioning from Marquis Bosier, the city lord, the head of the Armed Forces was first dumbfounded, then shocked. While thinking to himself, "With so many people coming and going in the city every day, how can we possibly check everyone's identity?", he immediately became serious and replied.

"My lord, I'm so sorry to have startled you. It was my mistake. I will immediately mobilize the garrison to track down that audacious madman who dared to assassinate you!"

"No need to investigate anymore. Immediately mobilize the army to the city lord's mansion. That bastard who forced his way in to assassinate me is extremely arrogant and should still be causing trouble in my city lord's mansion right now."

There were quite a few guards in the city lord's mansion, which led Marquis Bosier to believe that the assassin was entangled by his own guards inside the mansion.

It must be said that although the process of guessing was wrong, the result was unexpectedly correct. Broly was indeed still in the city lord's mansion, and he had even mobilized others to search for him, who did not exist in the city lord's mansion.

"Yes."

The commander of the Armed Forces Department immediately responded, and the city's garrison was quickly mobilized.

This major move also attracted the attention of some slave traders.

These slave traders were wary of the city's garrison's movements, worried that the Marquis of Bosier might be eyeing their wealth and preparing to slaughter them like pigs for food.

It's no wonder these people have such thoughts; the imperial system is now in disarray, and the behavior of some local nobles is truly appalling.

However, these well-informed slave traders quickly found out the reason for the city's troop movements.

"I heard that a powerful assassin stormed the city lord's mansion in broad daylight, attempting to assassinate the Marquis!"
