Macbeth is growing ruthless because he has no qualms about killing his best friend (Banquo) and his son (fleance). Here Macbeth is talking about killing them without actually telling L. Macbeth,

There’s comfort yet; they are assailable.
Then be thou jocund. Ere the bat hath flown
His cloistered flight, ere to black Hecate’s summons
The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hums
Hath rung night’s yawning peal, there shall be done
A deed of dreadful note.
