Chapter 984 Plebeians vs Nobles

Chapter 984 Plebeians vs Nobles

There was not much planning or schemes in place. The plebeians charged straight at Viscount Ferdinand's house.

There was nothing shameful for a noble than running away with his tail in between his legs. Even if Viscount Ferdinand knew he was outnumbered, he had to fight. He had taken the noble status, and was obliged to stay strong in every perilous situation.

The leader divided the group into three parts. One was supposed to charge head-on and the other was supposed to sneak attack. The third group was meant to kill people who were trying to escape.

Viscount Ferdinand was prepared for the onslaught. An army was waiting to test the sharpness of their spears.

The moment the army saw the plebeians, they attacked without hesitation. A battle erupted between the two sides, and while busy, the assassin group crept up on the noble house from the dark.

Lith belonged to this particular group. He had specifically asked to be placed behind the scenes and was granted it easily.

While the rest of the people from his group went to attack Viscount Ferdinand, Lith suddenly found a sharp arrow shot right at his head.

His instincts warned him of the immediate danger, and made him duck. The arrow ended up piercing the person behind him, one-shot killing him.

Lith had a look behind and saw it to be the same person who had asked the question to the leader on why they were killing Viscount Ferdinand.

Turning to the source of the arrow, Lith saw a few cloaked figures. They were prepared and seemed to be waiting.

'Well, no point fighting those guys.' Lith thought. He wasn't here for killing, but sowing more discord than ever.

Gliding by the mansion of the Viscount, Lith directed a few people from his group towards the cloaked figures, and few towards the inside of the mansion. Once done, he quickly left to get a few more things done.

"Viscount Ferdinand! Come out!" The leader shouted at the mansion's front.

"Watch your tone, peasant." A loud voice rang out from the mansion. And out arrived the Viscount, a figure donning black and red suit.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

"It's time to pay for your sins!" The leader yelled again and went to strike the Viscount.

Instead of engaging in battle, the Viscount made his guards keep the guy busy. While their swords clashed, he sneered and said, "I'll have you understand why challenging a Viscount was your life's biggest mistake. You should've been thankful that I spared you that day, but you just had to poke the hornet's nest unnecessarily."

"What is this!?" Viscount Ferdinand yelled.

Like a swarm of locusts attacking crops, the plebeians invaded the territory of nobles. Their first target: Viscount Ferdinand and his associates.

Loud cries of the plebes resounded in the city of Lamesnaria as they had the first taste of power.

Being out of expectations was an understatement for the Viscounts and Barons in the area.

The leader and Viscount Ferdinand were merely pawns used for a greater cause. As for the one who had used them, he was standing on the terrace of a three-storey house near the Viscount's area.

"That's really pathetic." Lith commented.

"You can't blame them, Your Highness. They've been at peace for many years." A soft, monotonous voice said.

Turning to Hecate beside him, Lith shook his head and said, "Their combat prowess is subpar. They've got nothing to use in case of emergencies. It's really bad."

Hecate fell silent. Lith's words weren't wrong and she knew even the Witches would be in a similar condition if such a large scale attack occurred.

"Though, if His Highness doesn't mind..." Hecate's red and blue heterochromatic eyes twinkled. "Can I ask why you're doing all of this?"

Lith looked at the commoner vampires raze the Viscount's house down, killing everybody in their path.

"It's to prepare them." Lith answered. "There's going to be bigger problems soon."

Hecate wondered what the bigger problems were, but didn't ask about it further. It didn't feel right to do so.

Looking at the dead people, Hecate said, "A lot of people will die, Your Highness. Are you willing to accept such bad karma?"

The corner of Lith's lips curved up. "I'll incur bad karma if they had actually died."

"What?" Hecate didn't understand.

"Just wait and watch, you'll understand everything."
