Under Roland's arrangement, Shayou went to kill the oil merchant Jamal alone. After all, Shayou's Thearch Artifact was a bow and arrow. Even if she was standing far away, she could rely on her abnormal vision and her invisible arrows to kill an ordinary person who had no ability.
Meanwhile, Eliyas and Tazmi were responsible for killing the captain of the garrison, Orca. The most troublesome ones were left to the two boys in the team to deal with. This was also Roland's special care for Shayou.
Although it sounded fun, Roland was still very serious when it came to doing it, especially since it was the first time his team went on a mission together, and the opponent was a dangerous guy, so Roland very responsibly sent the three of them to the square near the mission location and gave them some final instructions. Meanwhile, Reina stood beside Roland and smiled at the three of them.
"Oh! We will definitely return successfully!!”
"Yes, do well. I have confidence in the three of you.”
Shayou, Tazmi, and Eliyas confidently waved at Roland, and then the three of them separated into the crowd. Shayou walked toward the bustling street of the Imperial Capital, where the oil merchant Jamal's mansion was built.
Meanwhile, Iyas and Tazmi walked in the opposite direction, which was the patrol spot of the captain of the garrison, Oka, that night. Watching the backs of the three of them gradually disappear on the street, Roland slowly put away the slight smile on his face and turned to look at the huge palace that towered into the clouds.
That was where the current Emperor of the Empire lived, and it was also where Roland planned to sneak into this time…Even without this mission, Roland planned to come out once, so this mission could only be said to be a passing trip.
" Let's go, Reina. Let's go to the palace-"
After saying this in a voice that only the two of them could hear, Roland turned around and walked toward the palace. Reina immediately followed him with a bounce. She looked so happy as if she was going camping instead of sneaking in. At the same time, she looked at Roland with a smile.
"Understood! But why did he hide this from them? He even said that he was going to lead a team out to carry out a mission. He was lying. Lying was wrong…Also, are we going to fight the stubborn old man?”
" This operation has nothing to do with Night Raid or the Revolutionaries. It's just my personal matter. It's not appropriate to involve Chi Tong and the others. Also, we're just going to investigate some things. Don't give me any trouble. If we get targeted by the stubborn old man, we won't be able to leave so easily…"
"Yes, yes, yes…Then can I go to the kitchen of the palace to steal food? I miss the taste there."
"No, didn't you just eat? Will you die if you don't eat for a moment?"
----------------------
Inside the palace, although it was already night time and the sky had already darkened, the walkway in the palace was not quiet at all. Not only could one hear the footsteps of a large number of patrolling soldiers passing by, but one could also see pairs of patrolling soldiers passing by. The Emperor's palace was really well-guarded. If outsiders broke in, they would only die.
"Alright, you can go in now."
"Thank you. I'll treat everyone to a meal another day.”
A soldier wearing a hat, whose face was completely covered, accepted the identity verification check at the entrance of the palace. The palace guards were allowed to pass after the inspection. The soldier thanked the guards and walked around them. The guards nodded lightly and ignored the soldier. After all, they belonged to different factions.
All the palace guards were the men of the highest commander of the Empire, General Bude. This soldier was wearing the uniform of a soldier under General Aiders. He claimed to be here to report military intelligence to His Majesty on behalf of General Aiders, who was suppressing the rebel army in the north. This matter concerned the safety of the Empire, so the guards naturally did not dare to delay. After inspection, they immediately let him go.
Aiders and Bude were known as the strongest in the Empire, but these two generals stood on completely different sides. Although there was no conclusive evidence to prove it, Aiders was closer to the ministers who controlled the politics of the Empire, and it was common knowledge that General Bude hated the ministers. It was normal for the two generals to be at odds.
The soldier walked slowly along the corridor of the palace, ignoring the patrolling guards who were walking past him. The patrolling guards left through the corner of the corridor. Hearing the gradually fading footsteps, the soldier who was heading towards the Emperor's conference room suddenly turned and walked in another direction, instantly disappearing into the black shadows.
As if he was very familiar with the structure of the palace, the soldier ran all the way into the depths of the palace. He seemed to have a very clear goal and never looked around along the way. At the same time, the soldier raised his hand and slightly lifted the hat on his head. Whether it was his eyes that were like black holes or his face, they all confirmed his identity.
The person who had impersonated Aiders 'soldier was undoubtedly Roland Alpha. He had infiltrated the palace with a purpose. On his right hand finger, which had never worn any decorations, was a silver ring. This ring was transformed from the barking dog Rena. Its purpose was to facilitate infiltration. If it was one person, it would be easier to pass than two people.
