"They should be the Broken Finger's men!"
Bosco said in an affirmative tone.
Then, he went into deep thought.
"As for who ordered them to do this? There are not many who have a grudge with me but there are still quite a few who want my life, but I think they are running for their lives towards Will Prefecture and have no time to care about me, so … "
Bosco took in a deep breath when he reached this point.
He uttered each and every word clearly.
"Only those invaders from the northwest!"
Bosco smiled bitterly when his words subsided.
"I thought the current situation was bad enough but I never thought it would be worse than I thought! Riverdale has been infiltrated to this extent!
This war … "
The personal advisor of King James VIII could not continue.
His face was filled with worry.
Even though he had prepared for the worst when the Prairies invaders appeared outside Thunder Fortress, he never thought it would turn out like this.
The gangs hiding in the shadows of Riverdale would accept the orders of the Prairies invaders!
The implications of this were simply too terrifying.
Bosco looked at the street further away, at the crowded and slow-moving group of escapees, his face started to show traces of despair.
Kieran looked at Bosco in silence before he turned around and left.
"2... Hon. 2567?"
Bosco was stunned and instinctively opened his mouth.
"You do what you have to do and I'll do what I have to do!"
Kieran then vanished into the shadows of the street after leaving those words behind.
However, Fire Raven flew up from Kieran's shoulder, its eagle-like eyes were observing the whole of Riverdale, searching for any differences based on Kieran's thoughts.
Kieran then glanced over the system notifications.
[Sub mission unlocked: The traitor in the city]
[The Traitor of the City: Reuniting with Bosco after a long time is a new experience for you. A sudden assassination made you understand how hard it is to protect Riverdale, but you have no other choice! You need to find the hideout of the Broken Finger gang and stop these troublemakers in the chaos …]
...
Kieran was not surprised by the appearance of the side mission.
When Bosco was assassinated, Kieran's sharp senses had already picked up the scent of a Sub Quest. In fact, after going through so many dungeon runs, Kieran had enough understanding of Sub Quests. Most of the Sub Quests were related to the Main Quest, it was just that some were more useful than others.
A small number of Side Quests appeared independently.
However, as long as he completed it, it would improve his situation in the dungeon world.
Of course, this kind of independent side mission was more difficult than the main mission. It was very likely that there would be completion rates, special evaluations, and so on.
As for [Special Events]?
Kieran usually treated it as an additional main quest.
…
The shadow of war loomed over Riverdale, the fugitives turned the once bustling city into chaos and silence.
Chaos ensued on the main road leading to the city gates.
Silence filled the remaining area.
Therefore, when some people left the main road and headed to other places, it was very conspicuous!
Perhaps the other party was already very cautious.
He made himself look no different from the other fugitives.
However, from Fire Raven's vantage point in the sky, the concealment and concealment were even more suspicious.
The other party went around a couple of streets and after making sure no one would notice him, he sprinted towards a certain direction.
His speed was beyond the reach of a common man.
More than 10 minutes later, the other party arrived at a cluster of short buildings in the city, only then did he slow down.
Although it was still within Riverdale, it was different from the other places in the city. Not just the buildings but the environment as well.
It was filthy, smelly, and filthy.
It was like a giant urinal.
The slums.
Even within Riverdale, the slums still existed. The once wealthy middle class that went bankrupt was formed in the slums.
However, as time went by, more and more people joined the slums.
Some of them were lazy rogues, some were crippled mercenaries who didn't receive pension, but most of them were farmers who lost their land in other places and came to Riverdale for a chance to survive.
However, the slums weren't as beautiful as they thought.
The forces and gangs formed by the rogues and scoundrels dominated everything in the slums.
Then, thieves, robbers, wanted criminals, and prostitutes started to mix in, turning the slums into a chain of crimes that bred benefits.
Broken Finger was one of the best among them.
Around 10 years ago, Broken Finger was a mercenary who lost his fingers, but it didn't seem to affect his strength at all.
In just 3 short months, he had acquired a huge territory in the slums and was able to compete with the former boss of the slums, the Dagger Society.
On top of that, his business was even more extensive.
Killing people was only an occasional activity for the Dagger Society.
However, for Broken Finger, it was their main business.
No one knew what Broken Finger's original name was anymore. People only knew him as Broken Finger.
As for Broken Finger's underlings, they called him Boss.
The man who made countless people in the slums turn pale upon hearing his name was sitting on that old broken chair, listening to his men's report. His heavy brows furrowed together.
"Send more men … If the ambush doesn't work, we'll attack!
Go gather the men now, I'll lead the team myself! "
Following Broken Finger's words, his scarred face showed an unquestionable expression, causing his men to not even dare to breathe loudly, let alone refute.
More so, his men didn't think his boss was wrong.
If it was during normal times, he might have hesitated.
But now?
The Prairie's army was closing in, the whole of Riverdale was their "treasure".
If they could make a few more deals, it would be enough for them to retire in the south.
Broken Finger's man was thinking about his beautiful retirement life, he didn't notice his boss's hesitation at all.
When his collar was grabbed by his boss and he was sent flying out of the house, he realized something was wrong.
But it was too late.
Bang!
The pain of his body crashing through the door made Broken Finger's man cry out in pain.
However, his voice stopped abruptly.
Darkness appeared outside the broken door.
As he stared at the darkness outside the door, Broken Finger's forehead was covered in sweat.
Because it was daytime. It was noon.
Broken Finger clearly remembered that just a moment ago, the sun was still shining brightly outside.
"Who is it?"
Amidst his heavy growl, Broken Finger drew his sword and pointed it at the darkness outside the door.
But right after that, he turned around abruptly.
Chang!
A cold glare shone in the room. A curved blade appeared out of nowhere in Broken Finger's right hand where his finger and thumb were cut off, slashing at his back like a bolt of lightning.
The nervousness on Broken Finger's face turned ferocious.
Disguise!
It was Broken Finger's disguise.
He did it to catch his opponent by surprise.
"Die!"
Broken Finger laughed ferociously.
But at the next moment …
His ferocious smile froze.
The curved blade that he swung out like a bolt of lightning also froze in mid-air, unable to slash down for a long time.
Because he saw that man.
The man that made him tremble in fear.
"You know me?"
