Chapter 456: 456

Chapter 456: The Capital’s Disaster 1

The night filled with darkness .

There were people approaching the Odessa, the border of the Libiya Kingdom .

Knights in black robes and faces painted with black ashes .

They crossed the wall while the guards had closed their eyes for a moment .

When the wizards flew in with the help of the Fly magic, they dropped ropes, and the knights used them and climbed up .

Immediately getting down the beneath the walls, they exchanged their eyes and sent hand signals .

They were acting like a close-knit group of troops which were infiltrating the enemy estates, however, their targets weren’t barracks and armory storehouse .

They moved to the most densely populated residential area along the way, and upon arriving the common well in the residential area, they began to work .

“Be careful! One small mistake and we will all die . ”

When the wizard pulled out the bottle from his sleeve, the knight who was looking at him from behind nagged .

The knights who belonged to the Duke of Baroque Empire had entered the enemy lines to spread the plague .

Just before leaving, they were informed that the disease which the bottle held had effects that were terrifying beyond one’s imagination .

Just smelling the liquid was enough to make one feel feverish, and within a few days of time, they would turn dehydrated like a mummy and succumb to death .

“I need to get married to my fiancé next month . I don’t want to get sick of it and die a miserable death, so do it right . ”

“Kukk . Don’t worry . I will do it as safely as possible . ”

The wizard wearing a leather glove and mask which covered his face opened the cap of the bottle very cautiously .

No, well, he was trying to open it .

Slash! Swooh!

Suddenly, something moved in the dark and cut the right arm of the wizard which was holding onto the bottle .

“Oh my god!”

The soulful scream of the wizard filled the silence in the residential area .

The wizard who got his right arm cut off swiftly grabbed the falling solution and ran to the alley on the other side .

“Who, who was he?”

“Seek him and catch!”

Puk!

The knight following the wizard suddenly stopped .

The knights got stabbed by dozens of blades which came in through the darkness and died immediately .

‘No, no!’

While troops of the duke panicked, the surroundings turned bright .

As magic lamps flashed everywhere, hundreds of soldiers, knights, and monsters appeared into the ally and the roofs of the residential areas .

When did they perform for such a siege?

They weren’t able to assess what had happened, they were frustrated and in doubt .

“Kyakya! We were looking forward to you guys coming in here . ”

The man who cut the wizard’s arm snatched the bottle with a smirk on his face .

“Dammit, we were pulled into a trap!”

When there was no time to escape, the expression of the Baroque troops turned pale .

They weren’t able to understand what was going on .

The plan they were able to execute wasn’t known to anyone, there were a few people who knew about it, and Emperor Rudolf constantly changed the troops for the plan without revealing their intentions .

Then, how did the Libiya kingdom get to know?

Who among them had betrayed their troops?

In any case, the operation had to be aborted and they fell into the trap . And they had to get out of the city as soon as possible and report it to their heads .

“We will deal with them! The wizards head back quickly!”

“Kuek, we are sorry!”

The knights pulled their sword bravely and rushed towards the Libiya troops .

Meanwhile, the wizards flew to the sky with magic or concealed themselves with invisibility magic .

“They are running away . Catch them!”

The Libiya kingdom was already prepared and wasn’t going to let their enemies escape .

The soldiers and knights who built troops beforehand knocked down the troops of the duke with a spear, and the archers on the roofs of the houses used their arrows to take down the wizards escaping in the sky .

Those who were wearing the invisibility spells were caught by the monsters who had a great sense of spell .

“Kuek!”

“Dammit! Those damn traitors!”

The members of the Baroque troops struggled to the very end and turned into bodies that crashed to the ground .

“Your Majesty, we have captured all the spies of the Baroque Empire who infiltrated the border cities and forts . ”

Shaikan, who had been watching the affairs until late at night, looked forward to hearing the report from his cousin brother, Mitchell .

“That is good . And the disease?”

“It was reported that all the bottles were safely recovered . ”

“Huhuh . Nice! Very nice!”

A pleased smile made its way onto Shaikan’s lips .

“I guess the information given by King Luke was accurate . ”

“Yes, reports sent by the commanders showed no errors at all . In addition, as a result of the interrogation of the prisoners, they had no idea that their operation had been leaked . ”

Shortly after the last visit of Luke during the treaty signing, the Intelligence of Symphonia handed over the top-secret documents .

It contained the details of time and places where the Baroque Empire’s troops were going to spread the disease .

And, the elite troops of a Baroque Duke were dispatched .

“Then, all that’s left is the counter-attack?”

“Yes, at the same time we need to take over and we need to start the operation ‘Reaper’s sickle’ . Probably by then, the agents handed over their vials of disease and crossed into the Baroque border . ”

As Mitchell said, skilled knights and agents snuck into the Baroque Empire in the same way as Rudolf planned .

However, Libiya’s agents weren’t aiming for a fort or town .

They were aiming for the capital, Nemesis .

It was Shaikan’s goal to spread the disease in Nemesis to disrupt the Empire’s peace .

“Kuekk . Rudolf! I will send back the gist you just sent me, so accept it well! Kuahhhahah!”

Just thinking about it made Shaikan laugh out loud .
