Chapter Fourteen: Identity

  In Dean's arms, he found two letters.

  A letter from the second son of the Marquess of York and the Earl of Derby, telling some delightful stories about the aristocratic circle - everyone knows that the Marquess of York favors his eldest son, while this second son is obviously not willing to be ignored, naturally needs to find an ally.

  The Earl of Derby, another of the four northern counties, became his ally - from this letter, it is clear that the two sides have a good 'feeling' and can openly discuss the allocation plan after 'success'; For the Earl of York, the second son promised Thirsk as a reward.

  Dean sneered unceasingly.

  This kind of paper promise had nothing to do with him, but precisely because of this promise, it caused a disturbance in the four counties of the northern part of the Jade Kingdom. Xiti seized the opportunity and defeated York County, which was considered a barrier by the Jade Kingdom.

  To put it simply, in the first Bloodmoon War, King Sitai was able to capture York City, the largest city in the north of Yorkshire, in less than three days, and in the following two weeks, other cities in Yorkshire fell one after another. The second son of the Duke of York and the Earl of Derby played a decisive role.

  So, on Dean's hit list, these two have long been at the top.

  Similarly, Dean had no intention of killing these two guys, just to prevent the outbreak of the Blood Moon War. The ambitious King Xiti and the surging Kingdom of Xiti, which urgently needed more land, had already sharpened their knives. By killing these two guys, he was only making the situation in the Emerald Kingdom a little better.

  Of course, not now!

  Neither his strength nor his power has reached a fully prepared moment!

  So Dean put the letter in his pocket, and any regret for the dead York cavalrymen vanished in an instant - those who could mobilize for the second son of the Marquis of York had obviously shifted their allegiance, and were likely to be accomplices in the original war.

  If the first letter made Dean laugh coldly, then the second letter made Dean's killing intent surge - this letter came from Gao Sai, although it had a cryptic message, but such a cryptic message, and not having changed with the Blood Moon War, made Dean certain of its origin.

  Lowering his head, Dean looked at the dead spy - no mistake, at this moment Dean had completely confirmed the other's identity, it was a spy from Gao Sai.

  If it weren't for his habit of not mutilating corpses, Dean would have definitely drawn his sword and chopped the corpse in front of him into a thousand pieces.

  Kosai, the country that destroyed the only hope of the Jade Kingdom, the country that took away Dean's respected and beloved teacher, the life of the Grand Duke of Jade, the country that made Dean furious like a lone wolf crazily seeking revenge, is absolutely more worthy of being hated than Westi.

  After all, compared to the image of the invaders of the Western Kingdom, this hypocritical country of Gao Sai is actually a traitor who gave the Emerald Kingdom a fatal blow in the first Blood Moon War.

  Invader, traitor.

  Of these two, the latter is undoubtedly more attractive to hatred.

  The hatred in his heart made Dean even calmer, and he carefully read the letter with the encrypted message - it was a letter of appointment, similar to the one he had received to join the Knights of Fichalun, except that this encrypted letter of appointment was clearly not meant to be seen by anyone.

  Even the terms used inside are mainly "I", "he" and "you", without any names or codes appearing.

  And such caution is naturally due to an extraordinary reason!

  After finishing the letter, Dean lowered his head again, and it was clear that he had not expected this dead guy to be the person in charge of the underground intelligence dispatched by Gao Sai to Wobang County - a person who had been lurking in the three southern counties for many years and discovered the unusualness of the Marquis's second son in Yorkshire after taking office.

  A guy who had luck and misfortune together, in the end, misfortune took absolute dominance.

  Dean gazed contemplatively at the corpse, several plans flashing through his mind - and finally a slightly bolder plan emerged in Dean's mind: impersonate him, thoroughly grasp the intelligence network of Gao Sai in Wobang County.

  Such a plan is undoubtedly bold and dangerous!

  But for an assassin, this was nothing - whether it was disguise or simply becoming another person, Dean had a knack for it; after all, in his past life, most of the time, Dean had been someone else or several people in order to gain the capital for revenge.

  There are commoners, merchants, smugglers, thugs, and even knights and nobles.

  Of course there are detectives and spies!

  He crouched down, and Dean carefully examined the deceased opponent again, observing his facial features, hair, body shape, and any accessories on him. Even the clothes were stripped off, thoroughly inspecting every detail - he wanted to find a spy, and a spy leader at that, so any carelessness would be fatal. Previously, the opponent had been able to determine his identity just by looking at the carriage, even if it was speculative, which was enough to show the sharpness of his eyes and the extraordinary thinking.

  But wanting to impersonate such a person must be extremely cautious.

  Because you don't know if he has left any backhands or trump cards for himself; for example, that magic ring - the leader of the pursuing cavalry was obviously a confidant of the Earl of York's second son, and his strength was at least at the knight level, but such a good hand was killed by an ordinary person who was almost powerless.

  That's because of the backhand and trump card.

  And in fact, it once again proved Dean's caution was necessary - when rummaging through the other person's undergarments, a hard object the size of a Kimpton at the corner of the clothes caught Dean's attention.

  This is a gold coin with the image of Conqueror King, similar to today's Jin Pudun, except for the head of the Conqueror King who once unified all of Godzi - as the first king of Gao Sai, this Conqueror King reached the pinnacle of a monarch, loved by his people, expanding his territory, and turning a small principality into a mighty empire that dominated all of Godzi.

  The story of this conqueror king would take three days and three nights to tell.

  Moreover, as Dean, who harbored resentment towards his opponent's descendants, was not in the mood to listen to those stories and legends. He only knew that he had obtained another piece of evidence beneficial to him - although he didn't know how the high-ranking spies in Wobang County identified and operated, this gold coin with the Conqueror King's portrait was clearly a key to infiltrate them.

  Simply put, it is one of the proofs of identity.

  What about the remaining certificates?

  Dein's gaze turned back to the dead spy, and without hesitation, he completely stripped him bare, then put the corpse into the burlap sack that had previously hidden the crossbow - this body absolutely could not be left here, he had to take it away, along with everything on his body, including the horse that was still wandering around.

  And what of the slain York cavalry?

  Dein made a simple search of the corpse, and aside from two daggers and a small amount of silver coins, there were no valuable items to be found - what about those longswords, armor, and warhorses?

  In Yorkshire, a guy who isn't from the Yorkshire Cavalry is carrying the Yorkshire Cavalry's long sword, wearing the Yorkshire Cavalry's armor, and riding the Yorkshire Cavalry's war horse. Is this the rhythm of being dissatisfied with oneself and seeking death quickly?

  When Dean walked around the field again, he threw all the corpses onto the damaged carriage and set it on fire. After watching the raging flames engulf the bodies, he walked to the war horses, patted each horse's buttocks one by one, and when the screaming war horses had run away without a trace, Dean picked up the spy's corpse and placed it on the opponent's horse. Then, carrying his belongings, he jumped onto his own horse.

  Pulling the reins in the direction where the war horse was galloping previously.

  Although Dean didn't think that those faint traces would be truly discovered by the York cavalrymen, he still chose to do so under caution.

  A single leaf is best hidden in a forest, so a horseshoe's imprint is naturally among the horse hooves.

  After running for a whole minute, when he returned to the big road, Dean turned back in the right direction and galloped wildly without any stop.

  After all, he is now racing against time, and any delay will lead to consequences that he absolutely does not want to see.
