Chapitre 63: First Arc (King of Euphorion) - 41. Infiltration To Slyhelm Town II
First Arc (King of Euphorion) – 41. Infiltration To Slyhelm Town II
Meanwhile, at the western gate of Slyhelm Town.
"Sir, think again. Do you want to destroy Zephyrus?" said General Ferand, trying to convince the rebel's leader.
The leader gave him a wicked smile.
"Do you think I care? Now I will give you the last chance! If you want me to release this town, bring Princess Rose to us!"
General Ferand was surprised when he heard the leader's words but he kept his composure.
'They were chasing the princess from the start! This is bad... If they find out the princess is in the town then they will after her, I have to buy time as long as possible.'
"Princess Rose is the only remaining royal descendant, we cannot bring her to you. If you want a hostage to ensure your safety I'm willing to replace her," said General Ferand again.
The rebel let out a cynical laugh, before giving him a sharp stare.
"Making a general as a hostage? Do you think I'm that stupid? We want the princess, not you! Or maybe I have to kill someone every hour to make you agree ?!"
"Wait! Sir, we can talk about this again."
General Ferand continued to buy time. While his eyes glanced toward the town gate, several magic users had managed to sneak in front of the gate that was made of thick steel. They immediately opened some large leather scrolls that contained high-level explosive magic formations and flowed their magic power there.
'A little more, I just need a little more time ...'
-----
Rose peeked through the door gap to check the situation inside. The hostages were gathered in the middle of the room, the enemies were seen in every corner of that room to guard them. Besides that, a mysterious person wearing a black robe was also watched from the balcony in the room.
'It looks like that person is the leader.'
She continued to examine the situation in the room and realized that not a single window was open, she smirked.
'I will make them regret playing around with the Heart Family.'
She turned her gaze to troops and moved her hand to her chest, commanding them to follow her. They moved away from the door and stopped in an empty room nearby.
"I want the archers to take their position in that place. I will throw something from the balcony and you must shoot it. The swordsmen protect the archers and don't get caught. This plan's success depends on all of you, " she ordered.
"What about you, Your Highness ?" asked one of her troops.
"I'll sneak inside," she answered.
"Your Highness, that would be dangerous. Let me replace you," one of the troops said.
"I will use poison to attack them, only I can do it. We must move now! "
They nodded in reply.
She peeked to check the situation before opening the door and out of the room towards the balcony. While her troops moved towards the lobby front door and waited for her.
Rose walked down the corridor while making sure the surroundings were safe. Once she reached the end of the corridor, she ducked down and checked the situation before turning. Three enemies were seen guarding a door that connected to the lobby.
'My whip can't reach them. If I use my knives, one of them will shout for help before I can kill them all then this plan will fail.'
She swept her gaze around, looking for a way to approach them, but the corridor didn't have pillars or curtains to hide. Finally, she decided to attack them directly before breaking in. She pulled out her whip, preparing to attack. This attack was very dangerous and had a high possibility to fail, she could have destroyed all the efforts she had done earlier. Besides, the noise from their battle could be heard up to the room and made her enemies aware of her existence, so she had to do it quickly. She just about moved to attack them when she overheard their conversation.
"That maid was really pretty, I can't hold myself after seeing her."
"Yes, I have to admit she has a nice body. I did it twice with her."
"Did you rape her? No wonder I heard a loud noise in the next room."
"Of course, isn't that a woman's job? Serving men?"
Which was answered with laughter from the others.
As soon as she heard their words her blood boil, she really wanted to break their neck right away, but their conversation gave her an idea.
'I'll make you regret it.'
She moved into a nearby room and found a maid fainted with a messy dress there. She checked her condition to make sure her injuries were not life-threatening, before taking her outer dress and replacing it with her blazer. Rose ruffled her own hair, making sure her face wasn't clear and left the room. She walked limply with a confused expression towards her enemies, as soon as they saw her at the end of the corridor, they exchanged glances with an evil smile, as if they had found their new prey.
They approached her.
"Miss, are you lost? How about accompanying us?" said one of them.
She slowly stepped backwards with a scared expression while making sure all her enemies followed her. Then she turned around and ran after she felt it was far enough from the door, she pretended to fall, her enemies quickly surrounded her with a face full of victory.
"Miss, why are you running?"
She got up while shaking her head, pretending to be scared and pressed her back against the wall. Her enemies continued to approach her.
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you, as long as you obey us."
Which was accompanied by another evil laughter.
When her enemies were close enough, she slid out her poison knives from her sleeves and quickly advanced to stab one of them, killing him instantly. The other enemies were just about to pull out their weapon, she threw her knife to one of them, slid out another poison knife from her other sleeve and threw it again at her last enemy. She looked at her enemies' corpses scattered before her in disdain.
"Forgive me, I'm not an obedient woman," she said while taking out her outer dress, leaving only a shirt and her tight trousers that covered her body before walking towards the lobby door.
