The next day Edward's fleet set had eyes on victory, with no hesitation in his eyes and determination as the boats left the port for their battle against the second port.
The ships got off the port, and now there was no Britannia assist, Edward's massive fleet against Saxony. It is a long journey of two and a half days.
While Edward was going all out Lucius dealing with his problems,
"The whole village was killed except children under the age of 8. Most of them too are traumatized to speak, it is impossible to get any crucial info about the Attackers."
"Is there any child who can explain the bare minimum? It would be enough."
'One boy said that people in white colour did this."
"So it's the assassins. I wonder why aren't they attacking me?"
Lucius had fallen into deep thought about the idea of the reason for the assassin attacking an isolated village instead of him.
"Edward...?"
"!!!"
Lucius had deduced the reason for their actions, it was a distraction.
"IS there any public appearance of any high-ranked Military figure?"
"Yes, Lord Baron is doing a public speaking today, near Yolkare."
"Send an alert to them right now. he is going to be attacked, they are planning on creating chaos and reach to Jennifer."
The alert order was sent to the military groups and now messages were travelling across the country but while the message slowly travelled it was already the beginning of public speaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now was the time for public speaking. The crowd was collected to see their regional lord, Baron and in the crowd were hidden, different individuals.
Some looked at the situation from the top of the roof, and some from the nearby shops but all had their eyes set on their target.
The man appeared on the wooden stage and all was now put in motion, four people two within the crowd and one nearby to assist and on the roof keeping proper track of everything.
The stage was set as the assassination was about to take place and the assassins in the crowd begin to move but,
Smoke came out of nowhere and filled the crowd and chaos spread as people ran front and back.
"Hello there."
"!!!"
The assassin sitting on the roof was surprised as the voice called right behind her.
" Nice to meet you."
"Edward-"
Edward had not gotten away with his fleet, he was ready to defend against the attack he always knew was coming. He instantly attacked at the pressure points on the neck knocking out the enemy.
He stood up and got a clear view of the situation.
'That one and two are in the smoke and That government's boy is running."
Edward jumped right to the next building, pulling his way to Baron's location to find the next three assassins as they would surely chase him.
"..."
Surely enough he soon saw two men chase Baron's group and jumped down to confront them.
The men had brought out their swords and jumped into the group.
Edward got out his sword to interpret the attack but he was confronted by a third assassin.
"Set aside. kid."
"This kid is going to kill the person who killed my father."
The shout came to Edward, from the face hidden behind the cloak but the visible eyes showed the anger and rage in the mind.
Saying this, he brought out two swords dual wielding them likewise.
"I am fighting for my daughter who is yet alive, so I AM FAR Scarier here."
They lashed their swords at each other clashing them again and again looking for a breakthrough.
Edward spiked his left leg in a stabbing attack which was dodged by steeping aside, Edward turned this to his advantage by swinging his sword right at the enemy.
"!!!"
He blocked the attacks using his swords but the impact set him back, Edward threw his swords right at the assassin to distract him.
The plan worked as he deflected his attack, and Edward brought his gun directing it right at his enemy.
"Give Your Father, My regards."
"!!!'
Edward was about to shoot the shot but the Assassin bent down and punched swords at Lucius's gun who dropped his gun and grabbed his incoming stab.
'It's over."
He kicked the boy in the gut and completely broke his arm by twisting it and pushing him down and sitting on his body.
"ah...ah.."
The boy's pain was visible on the boy's face as the tears rolled, Edward felt pity for the boy, but he had no time to comfort him.
"Good night."
He brought about his blade from his sleeve and pierced it through the assassin's neck.
