Volume 1 – Showers Chapter 97: Infiltrated Chaos

Falkenridge Garrison and Sheriff Chief Kiruj Wadden's investigative report:

Abdul bin Harasa Azqi bin Harasa Shamankoy Warat, who was poisoned by the envoys of the Kingdom of Ahmad, is out of danger.

Mama Teresa's full rescue saved his life. Although there is no need for his life, Abdul is currently in a coma and has a persistent fever. Mama Teresa said that this is a normal phenomenon, and that Abdul still has some residual poison in his body.

When I asked about the composition of the toxin, Mother Teresa was vague and secretly handed me a list of the toxins and ingredients filtered out of Abdul's body fluids.

I had some foundation in pharmacy, and as soon as I had kept it properly, I went to the Royal Apothecary's Society in Falkenridge and rented an alchemical laboratory—a day, which cost me seven silver wolves in just three hours.

Oh, my wallet, but for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, I can only sacrifice my wallet. Based on the list of drugs and the results of my analysis, I restored the recipe of the poison: the venom of the Yuzhi grass, the venom of the smiling flowerback spider, the black dragon mushroom, the body fluids of the decapitator bee, and the tail spines extract of the black wolf bird. Based on a comparison of the library and the list of medicines, I came to a surprising conclusion: it was the special poison of the Royal Assassins of the Holy Falcon Empire - "Bloody Throat".

It reminds me of the death of a Royal Assassin of the Holy Falcon Empire a few years ago. The Assassin had died a strange death, apparently being cursed by an Ahmad wizard. As for the poison on his body, he didn't even find a single poison foam.

I suspect that the poisoner was the same person or the same group of people who killed the Royal Assassin a few years ago. The Royal Assassins are a group of elite killers trained from childhood. Unlike ordinary killers who act alone, they act as a team. One or two people are responsible for the assassination, while the others are responsible for gathering information, supporting, diverting attention, and removing traps.

Not only in terms of assassination skills, but they are also excellent fighters in frontal combat. Their assassination techniques include not only the ruthlessness of killing the enemy with one blow, but also the toughness of hand-to-hand combat, white-knuckle combat, and teamwork combat.

Therefore, I do not believe that a Holy Falcon Empire Royal Assassin would be able to be drawn out of the team by the power of one person and killed - judging by the corpse at the time, the assassin did not cause any damage to the enemy. Although he died as a result of a curse, I found a very secret wound on the corpse.

He has a very tiny hole in his back, which has been punctured with a needle. The needle pierced the Assassin's lung, and I determined that the main cause of death was asphyxiation.

I must report my findings to His Majesty the Great Emperor, and I suspect that there is a gang of anti-state forces hatching a plot against the Empire in Falkenridge. I, Kirruj Wadden, swear to the death to protect the safety of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire. I am requesting more soldiers, detectives, wizards, and mercenaries to assist in the investigation, and I would like to apply for a batch of activity funds to carry out additional investigative activities and pay the salaries of the investigators.

"My lord, the scouts of the Tanganis mongrels have touched and are fighting with the death squad behind our army." Babd reported to Santos.

"Act according to the strategy, the daredevils scatter to make a rout, lure the enemy into the bait, and the archers do not release arrows." Griffin Hart Sr. said.

"My lord, I'm afraid that the death squad will be able to do so... They are all good lads who are brave. Violetta said.

"It's a necessary sacrifice, Violeta. I will try to collect their bodies as much as possible, and their families will be taken care of as they deserve, and sacrificing a few of them for the sake of our victory is not a sacrifice. Get your caster legion ready. Old Griffinhardt said calmly.

"This... I see, my lord, but I want to give the lads who didn't escape a little more material compensation. Violetta concluded.

"Of course, I will exempt the families of the sacrificed soldiers from taxes for 3 years, their children can learn to read and write from you, and the gifted children can be absorbed into the caster legion." Sandos said.

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord."

"Go for it."

"Sir Napoleon, the scouts have come to report that the enemy is retreating. The griffons left behind about 70 people, and all but a dozen who escaped were killed. A sergeant reported to Napolyon.

"It seems that the griffon-led soldiers have retreated, but we still have to be careful of deception here, and order the soldiers to form a phalanx and pursue cautiously." Although Napolion ordered a pursuit, he still acted cautiously and did not rush into pursuit.

"Sir Foster, please let me do this for you in pursuit of the enemy, and you will lead a part of your army slowly in the direction of the logging fortress. How about you be able to ride on a horse and experience the joy of victory without having to get your hands dirty? Napolion's humble and arrogant suggestion was that he knew that for a rice bucket like Foster, proper compliments would allow him to obediently stay under the protection of the army instead of recklessly risking his life. After all, if something happened to Foster, he would not be able to explain it in front of His Excellency Gaget.

Forster was overjoyed, and he patted Napolion on the shoulder happily, and said, "Napolion, you are a reliable adjutant." You're right, I've already defeated the chicks in a frontal battle, and there's no better way to do the dirty work for me! ”

The Tangnis army, led by Napolyon, slowly advanced, and in a short time saw the griffon army fleeing.

"Speed up!" Napolion ordered.

"Damn, the climate in the Mist Forest is so annoying, this rain is so sudden, my armor is full of rain." A non-commissioned officer said.

"Hey, is it raining? I feel like it's fogging, I can't see anything clearly. Another non-commissioned officer retorted.

"You may be too tired, you see, although the rain is not heavy, but the water really gets into my helmet, don't believe it." The non-commissioned officer took off his hat and helmet and made a pouring motion to demonstrate to the other non-commissioned officers.

"Oh? I did pour out the water, but I didn't feel a drop of rain, hey, you're right, maybe I'm too tired! The non-commissioned officer shook his head.

"The whole army stops advancing!" Napolion commanded suddenly.

"Sir! What's wrong? We're almost in the middle of the enemy! "Yes! Sir Napolion! A kind of officer general wondered.

"The rain and the fog are not right, I saw the fog rising at first, but when I blinked and saw that it was rain, I felt that there was a moment when my senses were not normal, something was blocking our perceptions. That's right! That's right, the tree with the brown trunk. We've been here several times! There's still the mark of my dagger on that tree! As he spoke, he pointed to the long and short intersecting marks carved by a dagger on the trunk of the tree.

"I had seen a lot of fog before I passed through the trees, but as our troops turned around the corners of the trees, the fog turned to rain. There is a momentary delay in this exchange at the corner of the tree, so each of us sees a different scene! We may have fallen for the illusion. ”

"My lord, Napolion has discovered that the children of the Spellcaster Legion still have little training time after all, and the proficiency level of 'Chaos Rain Mist' is not high." Violetta said.

"It's already possible, it seems to me that the children are decent and good. Only a star like Napolion can find a flaw. Archers! Rocket salvo! Burn those Tangnis crumbs and avenge our fallen lads! Sandos ordered.

In a moment, the illusion of rain and fog completely dissipated, and the rockets fired by the archers flew into the army of Tangenis like meteors.

"Damn! We've been ambushed! The whole army retreats! The whole army retreats! Steady, don't mess around! Stay in formation! Stay in formation! There is no mercy for those who flee! There is no mercy for those who flee! Napolion drew his sword and pierced through a panicked screaming deserter, then shouted with a flick of the blood from his sword.
