Chapter 225 - Cloaking (2/2)
”AHAHAHAHAHAH, well okay, round everybody up, we'll go and kick their asses. Contact the boss of the Dark Dogs, I think they can help us win this war.” Said the muscular man and extinguished his cigarette, and left his office. He was one of the strongest mages in all Inlas and possessed the most destructive power.
...
At the exact moment, the news reached the head of the Paper Hydrangea. With Roland went only a squad to relay the information.
”Miss, the Hell Bulls, and Dark Dogs are attacking us, apparently they have finally decided to act. I await your orders.” Said the blonde girl and bowed respectfully.
”So Roland was right, I always knew this guy was special. We'll have to recruit him at all costs.” Mumbled a tall girl with short, white hair.
”We have to destroy them, they're too much trouble, maybe it's for the best that the war starts today. Mobilize all units, let only the wounded and a few guards remain at the base. Report everything to the head of the Amethyst Angel.” The girl said sternly.
...
At the base of the Dark Dogs.
”Boss, what are we going to do?” The muscular girl said with a frown. She was furious that the battle was taking place in their territory.
”Hmm.” A man with long black hair was holding a glass of bourbon and thinking about something. His body was trough with numerous tattoos.
Staring at the amber liquid, he calmly said: ”We need to help the Hells Bulls, but I've got a better idea. We'll split into two squads. The first will go to the battlefield, I will lead it, our best fighters, and most of our men will go with me. The second will go to the Paper Hortense base. You will be its commander.”
”Boss?” The girl didn't understand what he meant.
”While everyone is fighting, we'll rob the Paper Hydrangea. They're the furthest away from the skirmish, so they'll realize later than everyone else that outsiders have broken into their vault. That's it, do it.” Calmly the man said, he drank the contents of his glass and left the room.
...
By the time the four organizations headed to the battlefield, Evan and Roland were already there. Roland had used the same spell again, and they were now dressed as the rank and file members of the Paper Hydrangea.
”Where is the vault?” Asked Evan, covering his face with his hood.
”This way, we'll go in through the back entrance, not many people know about it, even if someone meets us, they're not likely to suspect anything,” Roland said quietly and went forward.
<Hmm, it looks like it went just fine. Even from here, you can hear the sounds of battle and numerous explosions. It seems like today is going to change this town forever, but that's not my concern. I won't be here by tomorrow morning.>
As Roland said, they easily made their way into the Paper Hydrangea base. A few men were guarding the entrance, but no one was watching the other places.
”By the way, Roland, do you even know roughly what's in the vault?” Asked Evan, cautiously walking down the corridors. At this point, they were descending to the lower floor, where the vault was located.
”Well, I think a huge amount of money, armor, weapons, artifacts, and so on. I hope something is interesting in there, otherwise, I'll be a little disappointed.” Roland said quietly.
After three turns, he gestured for Evan to stop and whispered, ”We're here, honestly I was hoping the security would be weaker.”
