146 Chapter 145 (1/2)
Time passed, and even though Leon and Makoto stayed on the range where they could hear the conversations between Seiji and Yuki, they didn't hear anything useful. Makoto was getting impatient; soon, they would leave the areas where they could chase the train without being noticed, and it would be even harder to collect any information.
”We could always fly above the train, but even if we try to camouflage ourselves, we are bound to be found. I don't have enough mana to chase them under the earth either...”
Although Leon was resourceful, he wasn't omnipotent. There was a limit of the things he could do with the magic he knew and with the amount of mana he had.
”We have to change our plans…”Makoto said. ”It looks like Seiji is worried that someone is spying him, that's probably why he isn't telling anything useful.”
”So, what are we going to do?” Leon asked.
”I don't want to let anything happen to my daughter…” Makoto said. ”But I can't let innocent people lose their lives. We have to do things the hard way.”
”I imagined you would say that…” Leon frowned.
”Even if we infiltrate Moscow by the air at night, we are bound to be noticed by citizens of that city,” Makoto said. ”The only way to avoid being detected is if we cause a diversion. Leon, I want you to cause dungeon breaks.”
It looked like Makoto finally decided to take some drastic measures, even though he said he didn't want to cause the death of innocents. Either way, that much was fine by Leon. If the leader of a nation was causing problems and the people of the said nation don't rebel, they were also part of the problem. Still, Leon wouldn't cause a massacre, and he would give everyone a chance as he did before. However, the price would be needed to be paid.
”I will infiltrate Moscow in the middle of the confusion to gather as much information as possible,” Makoto added. ”There are eight dungeons around Moscow; you should cause dungeon breaks in half of them. Then you will watch how the soldiers of the city will handle the problem; if they are having a hard time, you should help them without letting them notice you. If they are having an easy time, you will cause more dungeon breaks.”
After hearing that, Leon couldn't help but facepalm. Makoto not only wanted to make him do something that would make him become an enemy for the Russians, but he also wanted to work alone. That was the worst possible thing that could happen to Leon, if something happens to Makoto, even if he doesn't die and just becomes a prisoner, he would have a very hard time completing the mission.
