In the emergency of an attempted assassination of the Count, Iris (Rene) was also put on standby once Catherine's shadow fighters were stopped in a combat position as adventurers.

It wasn't until the day tilted that Benedict returned to the party room.

"Information came as soon as I contacted the Adventurer Alliance about the man I captured. He wasn't a Night Python associate, but he was a pretty well-known assassin. He specializes in sniping with magic item bows."

Benedict's expression is hard.

I could have prevented the assassination with criticism, but also because it is believed that Nightpython is finally getting serious.

Benedict's large hand with meatballs is placed on the head of Illis (Rene).

"Thanks to Illis. If you hadn't defended me with some magic, the Count would be dead by now. The Count thanked you too."

"No, it's really awesome. This time, you're in the hands of Iris."

"Hey. I've been able to protect the Count with such vigilance."

"... that's what I do"

A little confused as to how it would be appropriate to answer, Iris (Rene) let him be modest and humble.

I realized ahead of time that the raid was due to the power of emotional perception, but Iris (Rene) wanted to praise himself for protecting the Count with magic that could properly be used at that moment. I'm really glad I didn't accidentally say "Breaking Wind Falls (Windsor)" or something.

"But... the Count will be targeted, not the lady."

"That's right. How dare you go outside the castle?"

"Oh. I should have ruled out the insiders in the castle... but going to see someone means they know the Count's outing too, did they leak information from it"

"Are you going to be targeted just out of the castle?

That's what they're after.

Iris (Rene) assumed he needed shadow fighters because no matter where he was in the castle, he didn't know where Ninja was coming from.

But in the first place, it was Benedict and Hugh's opinion that it was difficult to assassinate the Lords who were drawn to the castle.

"For example... Hugh. Do you think you can infiltrate this castle and kill the Count if you are a Grade VI (Elite) Level Bandit (Sheaf)"

"I think you can go if you're perfectly prepared. Guard patrol clearance, intrusion and escape routes, power and placement... if you know all that. But the first thing you need to do is prepare the bones.

If there's no gap over here, I don't think Night Python would put him in a state where he could die, even if he had a sixth level (elite) user. I can't imagine the same level of spare being in Night Python. "

"Right. Even the adventurer on the table if you get a sixth class (elite) bandit (sheaf) in this country... uh, with a bearded bastard and a ruin fetish?

"Tayla, you're Kaine's woman."

"I don't know if he's a man or a woman after all."

"You're a man."

"It's a man."

"And how old are you?"

"I'm in my 30s with less quotes."

"I only look like a mid teenager..."

The figure of 'Woman Man' pulled out of the memory of Illis is a luxurious little demonic girl in her mid-teens, in human terms. And the reality is that even middle-aged men are a bit overzealous adventurers: the awesome bandits (sheafs).

They seem to be celebrities within Ciel-Teira.

"There must be a lot of bandits (sheafs) after warriors (fighters), but when you look at them like this, there aren't many of them going up there."

"There's three of us on the Siel-Tayla scale, so that's enough."

"Less is less. It's the realm of natural taste when you come to the sixth level (elite). No matter how hard you try, bandits (sheafs) are less deceptive with their gear than fighters (fighters).

Anyway, you don't want to spend that level of valuable talent on retaliation against a single lord. Risks and returns are not commensurate.

So I guess I'll just be ready to kill and escape for sure, not a battle out there... I can't be caged in a castle my whole life. You can't just kill where you came from. That's easier. "

And today, they're after us.

In a fantasy world, I felt like there was a gobbling assassin infiltrating ninja using magic, magic items, etc., but if you're going to say that, there's also a magician on the Count's side, so that seems to antagonize him enough.

I don't see any outsiders in common sense either. This is a dull (but life-threatening) battle between the small country mafia and the small lords of that country.

"But now, don't you think killing the Count would stop Operation Nightpython Exclusion?

I know it makes sense to come and kill the Count even if I can't... "

"Ha. If you want to stop the operation, you don't have to go after the Count."

Hugh shrugs his shoulders so he can stand aside.

"Not everyone can be caged in a castle and protected by their knights and magicians. I'll kill the easier part, I'll kill you."

Hugh's predictions met quickly.

The Count is forming a unit against the Night Python from his assigned knights and elite soldiers, who are gradually crushing their strongholds by redirecting the city in the realm.

The family was attacked.

Nightpython assassins will probably not be able to win by fighting the Gassa entry unit from the front.

But their families who don't have the power to fight can kill them. Then everyone fears that the next person to die may be their own family.

Morale gets rattled and shepherds get out.

"… it's the end of those who have already escaped and are about to cross the country with their families"

"Have you been hitting the other side?"

Oswald looked sinister as he glanced at the report in the office.

Benedict hits correlation by example.

No matter how motivated Oswald is, he can't do anything without his subordination moving.

Many would dislike it if trying to fill a vacancy was to 'join the troops and your family will be harmed'.

If you can't fight like that, Oswald automatically loses. It was like being strangled with a rope around his neck.

"But there have been strange reports... of mysterious intruders attacking me and killing me, and mysterious Ninja helped me down the castle."

"... Yes?

"It's the family of those participating in the Crusade."

Benedict looked as surprised as he could think, but Oswald, who explains it, doesn't even know what it is.

The story of the mysterious Ninja and other things also came out when the servant's family was taken hostage and escaped, but as always, they have no idea who they are.

"We still don't know about the mysterious helpers... but what's certain is that we have to decide on a battle before there are any more shepherds.

I've shredded their hands and feet in the last few days. Capture executives overseeing activities in the territory in a day or two "

"Finally"

"Oh. I would have liked you guys to come out too..."

Oswald put aside a little while, as he thought.

"Well, you'll be fine. More than that, please say hello to me and my daughter."

"Yes, sir."
