Chapter 456 - The Capital’s Disaster 1 (2/2)

They weren’t able to understand what was going on.

The plan they were able to execute wasn’t known to anyone, there were a few people who knew about it, and Emperor Rudolf constantly changed the troops for the plan without revealing their intentions.

Then, how did the Libiya kingdom get to know?

Who among them had betrayed their troops?

In any case, the operation had to be aborted and they fell into the trap. And they had to get out of the city as soon as possible and report it to their heads.

“We will deal with them! The wizards head back quickly!”

“Kuek, we are sorry!”

The knights pulled their sword bravely and rushed towards the Libiya troops.

Meanwhile, the wizards flew to the sky with magic or concealed themselves with invisibility magic.

“They are running away. Catch them!”

The Libiya kingdom was already prepared and wasn’t going to let their enemies escape.

The soldiers and knights who built troops beforehand knocked down the troops of the duke with a spear, and the archers on the roofs of the houses used their arrows to take down the wizards escaping in the sky.

Those who were wearing the invisibility spells were caught by the monsters who had a great sense of spell.

“Kuek!”

“Dammit! Those damn traitors!”

The members of the Baroque troops struggled to the very end and turned into bodies that crashed to the ground.

“Your Majesty, we have captured all the spies of the Baroque Empire who infiltrated the border cities and forts.”

Shaikan, who had been watching the affairs until late at night, looked forward to hearing the report from his cousin brother, Mitchell.

“That is good. And the disease?”

“It was reported that all the bottles were safely recovered.”

“Huhuh. Nice! Very nice!”

A pleased smile made its way onto Shaikan’s lips.

“I guess the information given by King Luke was accurate.”

“Yes, reports sent by the commanders showed no errors at all. In addition, as a result of the interrogation of the prisoners, they had no idea that their operation had been leaked.”

Shortly after the last visit of Luke during the treaty signing, the Intelligence of Symphonia handed over the top-secret documents.

It contained the details of time and places where the Baroque Empire’s troops were going to spread the disease.

And, the elite troops of a Baroque Duke were dispatched.

“Then, all that’s left is the counter-attack?”

“Yes, at the same time we need to take over and we need to start the operation ‘Reaper’s sickle’. Probably by then, the agents handed over their vials of disease and crossed into the Baroque border.”

As Mitchell said, skilled knights and agents snuck into the Baroque Empire in the same way as Rudolf planned.

However, Libiya’s agents weren’t aiming for a fort or town.

They were aiming for the capital, Nemesis.

It was Shaikan’s goal to spread the disease in Nemesis to disrupt the Empire’s peace.

“Kuekk. Rudolf! I will send back the gist you just sent me, so accept it well! Kuahhhahah!”

Just thinking about it made Shaikan laugh out loud.
