Chapter 456 - The Capital’s Disaster 1 (1/2)
The night filled with darkness.
There were people approaching the Odessa, the border of the Libiya Kingdom.
Knights in black robes and faces painted with black ashes.
They crossed the wall while the guards had closed their eyes for a moment.
When the wizards flew in with the help of the Fly magic, they dropped ropes, and the knights used them and climbed up.
Immediately getting down the beneath the walls, they exchanged their eyes and sent hand signals.
They were acting like a close-knit group of troops which were infiltrating the enemy estates, however, their targets weren’t barracks and armory storehouse.
They moved to the most densely populated residential area along the way, and upon arriving the common well in the residential area, they began to work.
“Be careful! One small mistake and we will all die.”
When the wizard pulled out the bottle from his sleeve, the knight who was looking at him from behind nagged.
The knights who belonged to the Duke of Baroque Empire had entered the enemy lines to spread the plague.
Just before leaving, they were informed that the disease which the bottle held had effects that were terrifying beyond one’s imagination.
Just smelling the liquid was enough to make one feel feverish, and within a few days of time, they would turn dehydrated like a mummy and succumb to death.
“I need to get married to my fiancé next month. I don’t want to get sick of it and die a miserable death, so do it right.”
“Kukk. Don’t worry. I will do it as safely as possible.”
The wizard wearing a leather glove and mask which covered his face opened the cap of the bottle very cautiously.
No, well, he was trying to open it.
Slash! Swooh!
Suddenly, something moved in the dark and cut the right arm of the wizard which was holding onto the bottle.
“Oh my god!”
The soulful scream of the wizard filled the silence in the residential area.
The wizard who got his right arm cut off swiftly grabbed the falling solution and ran to the alley on the other side.
“Who, who was he?”
“Seek him and catch!”
Puk!
The knight following the wizard suddenly stopped.
The knights got stabbed by dozens of blades which came in through the darkness and died immediately.
‘No, no!’
While troops of the duke panicked, the surroundings turned bright.
As magic lamps flashed everywhere, hundreds of soldiers, knights, and monsters appeared into the ally and the roofs of the residential areas.
When did they perform for such a siege?
They weren’t able to assess what had happened, they were frustrated and in doubt.
“Kyakya! We were looking forward to you guys coming in here.”
The man who cut the wizard’s arm snatched the bottle with a smirk on his face.
“Dammit, we were pulled into a trap!”
When there was no time to escape, the expression of the Baroque troops turned pale.
