Marquis' Express Butler

Late in the day, there was a news of a breakthrough at the base of the Black Road. One of the best was the news that 'Green' had been killed.

Black, Purple and Red, sitting at the Round Table discussing a follow-up operation, were surprised. Except for Black, the two of them even stood up.

Red asks as if he can't believe it.

“Was what you just said true? No more lies? ”

“Th-that's right... Cough! Aww!”

The only survivor reported vomiting blood.

He had barely made it to headquarters, so the news was two days late. He was already injured internally, so if he wasn't treated, his breath would be breathtaking.

“No way... Green, Brother Green is dead? ”

Red mutters like a stunned man.

Guwoo!

Errors spill from Red's body. That was a hell of a life. The man who survived the Baristan invasion bowed his head in order to survive.

“It's true…… I'm sorry, but Green could not get out of there…. ”

“Crazy bastard! How dare you leave your master and run? Who do you think your life belongs to? ”

“Huff!”

Red, who couldn't overcome the rage, walks forward. Then I rolled my foot once.

Qajik!

As if the watermelon had broken, the reported survivor's head was crushed in an instant. It was truly an enormous error of power.

Survivors are silent and lifeless.

Nevertheless, Red rolls his feet without overcoming him. Boom, boom, the floor of the house splits open and starts to fire.

“Shit! Shit! Damn it! That Dillene or whatever the hell that rat is, how dare he! Aaahhhh!”

“Stop it! Red. ”

Purple comes out.

Despite stopping, Red grits his teeth at her.

But I couldn't think of anything to say to her. It wasn't her. It was Green.

Green went out alone and died.

No one was responsible.

“ ……. ”

Looking away, Black frowns and shakes his hand. Then the men beside him clean up the body.

Red grumbles.

“Dammit! We can't just sit here. I will avenge Brother Green! ”

“Stop.”

Of course Black dried up. But Greene confronts him with a rebellious tone.

“Why do you keep stopping me? The commander hasn't changed a single face in this situation! If your men have been killed, we must avenge them! ”

“Greene's not the one who's careless. If you keep running away like this, you won't be able to die or eat. So stay still. Our operation is yet to be polished. ”

“No! If we retreat any further, our dignity will fall to the ground. Don't stop me!”

“Red!”

Purple howls and dries, but you cannot grasp his flaming feet once. Black sighs and commands her.

“Make sure you keep your men safe from danger. ”

“I understand.”

“Blue?”

“I'll be back soon. Wait, then.”

Purple takes a bow and runs after Red.

Black washes himself dry and looks at the map on the table. His gaze did not leave the commercial city of Barista for a while.

I can't believe you lost a foot soldier in that little place.

I didn't even think about it.

“You're worse than I thought, but was there a spleen we couldn't figure out? ”

Black could not understand. Green was one of the most poisoned men on the continent. He was not a great man to die in vain.

So Black's worries deepened.

“The rumors about the Wizard were true? ”

Then I understand Green was killed. Mana User is just as powerful. But there was no way to find out. Red's pissed.

But there were too many mountains to cross to believe it was true.

“Or was the car so big that it couldn't escape? In fact, Green didn't go alone. He moved in with his men. That would at least buy us some time... ”

My head is starting to hurt.

I did not feel exhausted at all about how to report this to my superiors. Despite this, the boss will be furious if Delfino, the owner of the house, hears about this.

Then the door opens and Blue enters. Curiosity spreads across his face as he returns from reconnaissance.

“Black. What the hell are you talking about? Rumor has it Green's dead. Everyone's in a bad mood. Is there a rumor going around? ”

“It's not a rumor, it's a fact. ”

“Huh! That's not true! Green can't die! I thought you went to the enemy's Star Guard. ”

“It's true. Greene has left where he cannot return. ”

When Black sighs, Blue realizes that Black is not joking. Well, he was far from a joke in the first place.

Black stands up and opens his mouth.

“The dead are the dead, and the living are to live. Surveillance results?”

“That's... … I just got word from a spy. They say their Star Guard is starting to move again. It is said to split in two in Forestin and move. ”

“What is the size of the star house? ”

“Five. Unarmed, but there was intel that the mole left without supplies. ”

“I'm trying to get across Forestin as fast as I can. But five?"

Black tilts his head. When we fought with the Starfleet the other day, there were four of them. However, one more person was added to it.

The increase in one person in the Star Zone is only a meaningless fluctuation of numbers.

But the strange senses of Black begin to whisper that there is something in one of those numbers.

“What is the location of the Starfleet? ”

“Looks like you're about to take a detour north of Forrestin. After a day without interference, they will leave Forestin. ”

“I can't let that happen. ”

Black has the baton. Then Purple, who came in late, looked at Blue and glared. Purple reports.

“I couldn't catch Red. He led his men out to confront the base. ”

“Perfect timing. Blue, you go after Red immediately and get him to cooperate. The objectives are Hamer and Sapiella. Concentrate your attack there to minimize damage. ”

“Yes!”

Blue takes the ordinance and leaves. You hear the wind howling outside. The sound of elite assassins making a huge move.

Black pulls out the sword from the wall.

Then he leans back for a moment and says, with a dagger behind his waist.

“We make our own separate groups. I have something to pay them back. There's just one thing that bothers me. ”

“I'll be ready right away. Black.”

“I'm ready. It's just the two of us. That way we can keep up with their speed. ”

By number, it was more than twice the difference, but Purple didn't die at all. At least I've never failed in my mission with Black.

I didn't doubt it this time.

Two men and women leave the house, and they quickly cover their tracks in the shadows.

* * *

Eluna slows down to see if she feels anything. Soon after, she raises her fist to the sky and sends a stop signal.

“Someone's coming at us fast. Over there.”

Our gaze shifted to one side.

It was a dark forest. Even the eyes that were adapted to dark places could not identify things.

But that's someone else's story.

With heat sensing capabilities, I was able to find two characters who were confidently revealing their existence in the darkness. Two who breathe in the familiar life.

I was already aware of their approach.

“You have an early visitor. Eluna, you know? ”

She nods. Her job was to protect Sapiella, who disguised herself as a deputy, when the battle broke out.

Heave-ho!

You unload the Mana Pistol and jump off the horse. Arthur and Chris drop their swords as well.

At that moment, two beings appeared in the darkness.

The two of them were wearing dark robes. It was the two of them who had survived my fireball as expected.

“Good to see you again? I'm Dylan of Adeline. You're Black, and the girl next to you is Purple, right? ”

I guessed Purple's identity by rising to Robb's chest, but they didn't deny it. They quietly pull out their swords from their waist.

Grrr!

The blade of Black's dagger also contained the Abyssal Darkness. I didn't cut my bullet for nothing. I think that's a magic sword, too.

“Why are you mute? Do you have any questions, any last words? ”

Black picked up on my taunt.

“Do you really need a long horse? You won't make it out of here alive anyway. ”

“That's my point. Sooner or later, we'll be able to follow your man who left for the afterlife. You son of a bitch! I don't care if you touch me. Why? Because I'm doing my job. But why are you messing with civilians? ”

“For the greater good. Sacrifice in the process is inevitable. ”

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

The Mana Pistol emits a blue flame. You hear a groaning, metal beating, and Black sets his swinging hand in place.

Smoke rises from the Black Dagger. It looks like you've blocked all the bullets with a flimsy grip.

I couldn't bear to be angry.

What if there is a cause? Dead people don't come back, and dead people are like the end of their world.

That's why I was so stubborn about the word "cause."

“I don't know what all those villains are talking about. I hope you're not rushing my orders. ”

Black poses with a dagger in both hands instead of an answer. I shrug my Mana Pistol with my waist and pull out my bobby sword.

Glug glug!

Throwing a powerful Mana into the sword, it triggers an enchantment that Chris has already injected. It burns black, but it's not even hot.

Purple pulls something out of his waist. It was the rain of two sacks. The black water is dripping to make sure the poison is released.

Shhh!

The First Tribute begins with Purple.

Her rainfall flies to Elona at a rapid rate. Not exactly Eluna, but Sapiella next to her.

The rainfall of two sacks flying away from the time gap.

After a short while, Sapiella opens her mouth with no response, and Eluna swings her sword instead.

Ground!

The rain on both sacks is cleared, but Purple smiles as if the attack had succeeded.

“I think you're right, Black. I think she's something special. It's armed, but it's like an ornament. Maybe one of the targets we're looking for? ”

“I think so. ”

Guoooo!

Immediately, an enormous amount of life started pouring out of Black.

I pulled Mana out as far as I could and confronted that life. His error level was substantial. I felt a distant hardship.

I wonder if I can even win with Mana in my heart.

Soon Black mutters in silence.

“Remove the target first. The rest of them are next. ”

“I understand, Black. ”

Shhh!

A slit in the wind strikes your ear, and their attack begins just in time.
