Chapter 321: Taking over the wall part 4 (1/2)
At this moment, Leo's plan was only to observe the surrounding a place of the outpost. He was still not planning to begin his assassination. Why? Because he alone wouldn't be enough to handle everything here. In the past, once his assassination target was killed, everything would be successful. But right now, once he successfully assassinated the Captain which he can really do, he would immediately need someone to pretend as the Captain, just like what Ethan did back at the wall. Of course, he can personally replace as the Captain, but what for? It wouldn't mean anything because once he starts to pretend as the Captain here he wouldn't be able to do anything aside from continuing to pretend until eventually his men have completely replaced the soldiers on that small part of the south wall which would surely take a lot of time, and that spent time if he wasn't pretending as the Captain, he could do a lot of other things instead that can benefit them. In short, it's useless for him to pretend to the Captain. Instead, he would give that trouble, Ehem!, an opportunity to someone else like Chief Lago or maybe Jeffrey.
With Leo hiding on the roof of a one-story house, he was able to observe everything happening in the outpost.
Even without the Captain's command, the moment a group of soldiers arrived, another group would immediately form with the same number as the former before preparing to march towards the wall. Before starting to march, though, a group from the Logistics personnel would leave first to bring in supplies to the wall. As to why it was, it was pretty obvious to guess that it's because those soldiers that just arrived had already scouted the safety of the road towards the wall, hence it is now safe for the Logistics personnel to travel.
While that was happening, those new arrivals would eat some food, talk, or play some card games with a few other soldiers, before they finally decided to take a rest.
Then, the Logistics personnel would arrive, with their safety assured, the soldiers preparing to march towards the wall soon after started.
The arrangements were really meticulous, or more appropriately, it was a really great plan to choose to do it this way in order to still stay very vigilant of their surroundings below the wall despite the inside of Silver city still being guaranteed safe. In fact, if only Leo didn't choose to wait and see to understand the arrangement of the Silver royal family's soldiers, then he would most likely fall for the trick of attacking the Logistics personnel, as they were obviously a secret trap to detect if there are any enemy in the surrounding. If a group of Logistics personnel doesn't return, then most likely an enemy has attacked them in their way from or to the wall.
”Silver royal family is really not someone we can just as easily underestimate.” Leo silently reminded himself. Next time, he would definitely choose to thoroughly understand the situation first before finally deciding to attack. Luckily, he had thought that attacking the Logistics personnel would be useless because they would be returning back once they finished delivering the supplies.
Suddenly, Leo quickly shook his head to stop thinking of such thoughts. He brought himself back to focusing on the main important thing, specifically locating the Captain's location inside the two-story house. Until this moment, he still hasn't found where the Captain was or was there really a Captain inside right this moment? He needs to immediately find or confirm the Captain's whereabouts and then leave this place to prepare for his assassination.
Realizing that staying in this place was useless, he then left to go towards the other nearby houses and try to locate the Captain over there.
Just like what he had expected, the moment he switches to a few houses, he finally locates the location of the Captain which at this moment, was actually currently having fun with a few pretty women inside an enclosed room with a single-window.
He really doesn't know what to react while watching the Captain having fun on the bed. Should he feel relieved knowing that his assassination would most likely be easy due to the Captain not being on guard? Or should he feel disappointed that the Silver royal family has actually assigned such a dick-only thinking Captain, which he hated the most? He really was feeling disbelief of this so-called Captain. This moment should be the time where he should be vigilant the most, yet he actually decided to have fun with pretty women instead.
He could understand the thought of being very stressed due to this upcoming battle against the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household, hence the Captain thought of having some ways to relieve his stress, really. He, personally, doesn't also have any disapproval or dissatisfaction of using women to relieve the stress, because, for most soldiers, that's really just normal, or more appropriately, natural. But this was really not the right way, at least for this moment, as this would divert the Captain's attention away from the battle instead, not prepare himself for the upcoming battle.
To be honest, if he really decides to kill the Captain at this moment, it would be really easy. The only problem is those women would definitely make noises, but he could also solve it by killing them quickly so as to avoid them from raising any noises inside the room.
With a shook of his head, Leo left the place to call in a few others to help him assassinate the Captain.
”This Captain is really fortunate, he at least died after feeling satisfied.” Leo whispered to himself before jumping down from the roof of the three-story house he was on right now. This house was a bit far from the outpost of the Silver royal family's soldiers, but it had allowed him to easily see the second floor of the two-story house.
