Chapter 148 The northern rebellion 1 (2/2)
outside the castle by the gates Mars and Victoria waited for the dark knights to arrive which they soon did only this time they were all dressed in civilian clothes with various concealed weapons
”let's go, we have some slavers to exterminate”
Kim looked around before she gave a frown
”where did the kitty cat go?”
”Victoria? she's hidden in my shadow”
”aww I wanted to talk with the pretty kitty cat...”
Kim shoulder slumped slightly before the captain patted her on the shoulder
”focus Kim, we're on a mission now”
”yes captain~”
the dark knights followed after Mars that followed Victoria's instructions and soon they entered the storage area of King's city
”it's always the warehouses... so cliché”
”did you say anything Mars?”
”no it's nothing... we're there soon, game faces on”
”oh can I put on my mean face?”
”sure Kim do whatever you want as long as you don't stab me”
”okay~”
”we're.... here”
”okay, then let's go”
Mars looked at the warehouse Victoria had pointed out and walked up to the door before he drew his sword and checked the door
”it's actually unlocked?”
in the next second Mars felt danger and quickly kicked the ground and jumped back just as a crossbow bolt landed where he had been standing
”well that's rude...”
Mars walked up and pulled the bolt out of the ground and examined it and quickly noticed it was poisoned
”I take it back, that's damn right hostile”
Mars deflected the next bolt with his sword before he activated [Instant movement] and rushed into the warehouse and slashed at the man that had been firing crossbow bolts at him, swiftly sending him to the underworld as his head rolled on the floor, then Mars looked around the warehouse which was cluttered with boxes of various sizes
”Victoria mind finding the entrance to the underground rooms?”
”okay... be right... back”
Victoria slipped into the shadow of some boxes and disappeared, at this point the dark knights finally walked into the warehouse, the captain looked at the corpse on the floor and gave a slight frown
”....we could have interrogated him”
Mars gave a shrug and sat down on a random box
”not likely that the doorkeeper was the brains of the operation”
the captain gave a nod and looked around
”so where is the slavers?”
Mars pointed to the floor
”most likely in the basement, I have Victoria looking for an entrance”
the captain gave another nod
”I see, good work”
Mars frowned slightly, although he liked to receive praise the praise the captain gave made it feel like Mars was his underling, but before Mars had a change to do anything about it Victoria returned, jumping out of a nearby shadow with her horns flashing
”I found... it... follow me”
”okay lead the way”
Mars and the dark knights followed after Victoria passing a few traps on the way as they moved into the labyrinth made up of boxes
”this is... it”
”good work Victoria”
Mars gave Victoria a few head pats before he kicked the box which was hiding the entrance to the basement aside and jumped down into the basement without using the ladder and looked around
”this really is like last time...”
in front of Mars was a reinforced door made of steel
”last time?”
”yeah I raided a hideout of the... 8 heads was it? before”
the captain gave a frown but didn't comment further instead he gave a few hand signals towards the door and to the other 2 dark knights that both gave a nod before the oldest of them walked past Mars and began checking the door for traps, Mars gave a sigh and walked up to the door
”it's not that I don't like your style old man, but....”
Mars put a hand on the door and activated his [Energy: discharge] blowing the door clean of its hinges with a loud bang
”I just prefer to go in with a bang”
Mars walked past the old dark knight that was rubbing his ears while looking at Mars with resentful eyes
”intruders!”
”kill them all!”
”Victoria go ahead and cut off any of the ones that are running away”
”okay...”
Victoria jumped into a shadow and disappeared meanwhile Mars deflected a crossbow bolt that was aimed at his head with a calm smile on his face
”time to go wild!”
