378 8.6 Ism Back, Silly Boy (1/2)

”I guess our leader had briefed you that we would be infiltrating the Church in Fenton and to take away all their gold and valuable stuff, am I right? I am here with you guys for tonight's operations to infiltrate, sabotage and rob all of their valuables which they had seized from the settlers.”

”The Church had amassed a fortune by collecting taxes higher than it should be and had declared only a certain amount to the Sheriff of Nottingham. They wanted to get richer quick in this way and had also sized the lands and declare them as their own.”

”How do you feel when you had to sweat blood and tears and in the end, all your earnings had been taken away from you just for the sake of using the Sheriff's name?”

I asked the group of Assassins that had gathered around for the meeting. This is not to incite them but to make them realise what the heinous crimes the Church had done now and before since the death of my father

”It is not fair, Ma'am. How can we work till our deaths and give all the earning to the ones who never even lift a finger to do all the labour? Sir Robin or any of the captains never do that, and still being able to provide us with shelter and 3 square meals per day.”

”Yes, Ma'am... We were not required to pay any of our meals no matter how simple or sumptuous it may be, but we made sure that even a paltry 2 coppers as a token could not even cover the basic ingredients for a single meal.”

”I am glad that you understand how generous and big-hearted our leader is and most of all, he tried to make things simple and worthwhile for you. He may be a simple happy go lucky kind of person, but from the insides, no one would know what he was scheming for the benefits of all.”

”Alright, we put these aside first. The most important is to get inside the perimeter and into the Church compound without getting noticed. I have learnt part of the Assassins skills and I have upgraded myself as an Assassin Warrior. We will move out by 12 midnight and perform the task and head back here.”

”From what we understand, there should be no casualties from that town at all. It is a simple break-in and leaves. Everyone has their storage bags and we would dump everything inside it.”

”Don't forget to mix those loot together with your personal stuff, ok? It would be best to leave your storage bags empty in case of a mix-up.”

”Yes, Ma'am. From tonight's operations, we won't be calling you Ma'am, but we will call you Red Leader instead. This is a call sign for you on offline operations. During the movement, you would be assigned as Red One during online operations. Would that be alright, Red Leader?”

”It sounds splendid, alright, we clear out our storage and be moving out by midnight. Catch up with you soon. Red Leader, out.” I said as I left the Assassins group to prepare for the infiltration tonight and I was glad that I was given a call sign since I had not gotten used to being called Ma'am here and there.

”S H A D O W. S T E P S”

”T E L E P A T H Y”

”Red One here, we had reached the perimeter of the Church and its a 10-foot wall that we need to clear from here. Everyone take their positions and proceed on my count. G O....” thought myself and everyone responded by leaning against the high wall, flattening their bodies as close as possible and deftly climb the vertical wall.

This was made possible by their climbing claws that were reversible over their standard-issue Legendary Class leather gloves. We scaled the wall within seconds and once the area seems to be clear, we scaled down the other side, our feet landing on the ground soundlessly like a cat on the prowl.

”C A T W A L K”

”Ok guys, we have made into the perimeter, we now need to locate the Church and see anyway to enter through it.” I thought as I half crouched and used the shadows to hide my form.

”Red One, we have located the Church, zero activity around it.”

”Red One, we have 2 entrances here. One is a small opening near the kitchen and another is a locked trapdoor. One of us is picking in the lock to see where it leads to.”

I slipped past the alleyway of the nobles' houses and reached the perimeter of the Church. There was no street lights and no guards around and everything seemed as dead as the night. I followed an Assassin through a small opening behind the kitchen that was meant to be used as a kind of ventilation. The stained glass windows were permanently fixed to the stone walls.

'Red One, the trapdoor lock had been picked and 2 Assassins are entering them now to check what was inside there.”
