Chapter 6 Assassination Plan
On the third day after receiving Belia's report, Haruka and Angelia took a small number of escorts and marched in the direction of Nabida, the westernmost city in the North Country, riding the tamed flying beast, and it only took about a day for the group to reach the place where Belia was garrisoned, about three kilometers away from the outskirts of the city.
After the group landed smoothly, Bellia took the knight Shilland out of the tent to greet them.
"I didn't expect you to come here in person, Your Majesty. Belia and Siland saluted Haruka.
"Don't be so restrained, can you tell us about the current situation?" Yao waved his hand and motioned for the other party to get up.
"Please come with me to the tent first. ”
In the tent, Belia explained the current situation to Haruka, since Nabida City was originally the largest city under the rule of the ghost clan, it was very large in terms of population and scale. Therefore, the military fortifications used to defend against attacks are also very complete, and it will be very difficult for the army led by Belia to capture them in one go.
"Aren't the current forces enough to recover?, and should Savaga come with his army to support?" muttered Haruka, looking at the huge terrain sand table in the center of the camp.
"We have also thought about this plan, although it is possible to capture this city by hoarding a large number of troops, but it will take too much time, Sarvaga's troops are now basically deployed in the eastern region of the North Country, even if they march with all their might, it will take at least more than a month to arrive, in the previous informant's report, we have learned that the other party is secretly in contact with some forces in the West Country, whether they finally ask for reinforcements or arrange for evacuation, it is not a good result for us, so if you can, it is best to take the other party before the group of old foxes act。 ”
"In that case, then count me as a combat force, and with my strength, I should be able to provide you with a lot of help. Haruka suggested.
"How can this be, you are His Majesty the Demon King, how can you rush to the front line... Belia immediately objected.
"Fighting or something, I've been used to it for a long time, and I came all the way before I became a demon king, so it's okay. "Haruka looks determined to fight.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty!" said Angelia, who had been silent on the sidelines, suddenly. "If you really join the battlefield and fight the enemy head-on, I'm afraid you'll fall into a state of rage again, right?"
"This... ”
"If you get into that situation, not only will you not be able to help us, but you will even be fighting your own army. Angelia's words were instantly speechless.
"That's right, everyone here has seen the way you looked when you went berserk, so please calm down. Belia chimed in.
"What should I do about that situation?" Haruka shook his head helplessly.
"And how about an assassination?" suggested Angelia.
"Assassination?"
"Yes, since the resisting forces are mainly those few ghost clan elders, if we can sneak into the city and assassinate them, won't the battle be much easier after that?" Angelia walked over to the sand table and gently poked her finger at the center of the Nabida City model, which happened to be where the Lord's Mansion was located.
"I'm afraid this plan is not so easy to implement, first of all, the other party now knows that our army is pressing, the entrance and exit of the city have been closed, and at the same time, the security in the city has also reached the highest level, plus the entire periphery of the city is surrounded by a large number of perceptual magic arrays, even if a mouse gets close to it, it will be discovered, so there is no room for sneaking in at all. ”
"It may seem like the conditions are a bit harsh, but for someone who has high-level perception magic and at the same time has high-level stealth magic, such a defense is nothing more than nothing. Angelia said slowly.
"Are you kidding? High-level perception magic is a very rare skill, even if you look at the entire demon world, people who can use this skill are only rare, how can you say that it will appear when it appears, not to mention that he must master the assassin to have superior stealth magic, the existence of such a guy is a false proposition in itself!" Belia replied categorically.
"Well, it's the first time I've known that wide-area perceptual magic is such a rare skill. Haruka said thoughtfully.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty... Can you sense magic in a wide area?"
"Well, I like this skill a lot, after all, I can sense the movement of all creatures in a long range, so I use it a lot. Haruka said with a smile.
"Your Majesty has been in the human world for a long time, and has studied in the magic academy of humans for a period of time, and magic that is very rare in the demon world is relatively common in the human world, and Your Majesty has mastered a lot. ”
"That means you can use stealth magic too?"
"Yes, after all, the teacher who taught me before was a very good assassin, so I learned these skills from her. ”
"So all the conditions are met, it's just a mere assassination mission, you shouldn't enter a state of rampage, right?" Angelia turned her head to look at Haruka.
"No problem, as long as I keep the mana consumption within my own limits. Haruka swore an oath.
"Wait a minute, will it turn out that Your Majesty will go out in person, I'm afraid... ”
"Then according to Angelia's plan, it is up to me to carry out the plan to infiltrate the assassination, this is the order of the Demon King. Haruka spoke......
