There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 920: Chapter 754 Dawn_2

At that moment, a soldier attacked him from behind. The man promptly raised his war sword backwards, cleanly separating the head of the assailant from his body.

After dealing with the ambusher, he remained standing in place, lost in thought.

For quite a while.

As Zuo Fang ran out from the Governor’s Castle and passed by, he noticed the man in the white fur cloak standing idly on the city wall. Curiously, he called out, “What are you staring at over there?”

The Duke of Silver snapped out of his thoughts at the sound, turned to glance at Zuo Fang standing not far away, and then withdrew from his reverie.

“Nothing, it seems the matter is coming to an end.”

Just moments ago.

His subquest had inexplicably been completed.

[Congratulations on completing the subquest: Ensure the Silver City-State is no longer plagued by raids from Magical Beasts.]

The system notification utterly baffled the Duke of Silver.

He thought he’d misheard it. Opening the Player’s Handbook for verification, he confirmed the task was indeed complete. But at this moment, a new problem emerged.

— How was it completed?

…

After the upheaval at the Gate of Palas in the Royal Capital.

The Duke of Silver received a transmission from the Pope of Light. He ordered the Silver Shield Legion to remain on standby in the Rheine City-State while he took Snow Eagle Yue to investigate the situation in Fahl City.

No need to enter the city to scout.

From high above, he could already see hundreds of thousands of troops gathering outside Fahl City. The military districts exuded overwhelming momentum, a definite posture prepared for battle. Yet their murderous intent seemed aimed at an unlikely target—it wasn’t Rheine City-State.

Recalling the Royal Capital upheaval, he suspected this army planned a nighttime raid on the Royal Capital, seizing Constantinople anew!

And if so, King Wald XVIII was very likely inside Fahl City!
