The Blood Leopard quickly returned to the secret stronghold, and selected a group of well-skilled subordinates to accompany him to the Magic Guide Tower to escort Butler and Zero, and did not forget Butler's explanation before leaving, and instructed the rest of the people to deal with the little wolf girl who stayed here before going to the front line of the city wall to support the defenders.

As a unit of dead soldiers cultivated by Prime Minister Butler in private, the black-clothed assassins under the Blood Leopard were naturally eager to follow the orders of Butler and the leader Blood Leopard, not to mention that Zero was not there at this time, and the assassins had no scruples, and quickly gathered people to block around the room where Cheruth was.

Cheruth's achievements in the arena room had been publicized by the two of the five assassins who were still alive at the time, and the assassins under the Prime Minister did not have the slightest disdain for this cute looking little girl with wolf ears. The men in black who came to carry out the so-called "execution" mission were almost all the same strength as the five men sent to assassinate Hoth at that time, that is, they were all the elite of the assassin team.

However, the two surviving Assassins only knew that their other three companions had been killed by Cheruth, but they did not know how they were killed, and it was unclear how Cheruth had used them.

Therefore, the moment they opened the door of Room Zero, an indiscriminate and powerful ultrasound wave instantly enveloped the surroundings, and when the dizziness and nausea in the minds of the Assassins disappeared after a few seconds, they could only see an empty room with a faint pain in their temples, and large open windows and curtains that had not yet calmed down and were still slightly floating.

Knowing that Zero's intercession would not be successful, Cherus had activated her copying abilities in the house alone after Zero had left, drawing on the last time she wanted to completely replicate the power of Herlan's Night Demon Wolf but made herself not only unable to control it but deeply attacked her, Cheruth only replicated the Night Devil's wild sense ability and ability to manipulate the wind, that is, air, as much as possible this time.

Because of this, Cheruth had already spotted the Assassins when they began to gather around the room, and immediately created a small vibrating air mass around her, and the moment the Assassins opened the door, she immediately detonated these homemade ultrasonic "bombs", and then manipulated the wind to fly out of the window and escape from the stronghold.

Having just experienced a rebellion, coupled with rumors that there seemed to be soldiers of the Wind and Sand Legion outside the city, there were hardly many people walking around the streets of the entire imperial capital at the moment, but after recovering from the effects of the ultrasound, the Assassins who scattered around to track down the traces of Cheruth were surprised and angry to find that they had completely lost this little wolf girl who should have been very conspicuous.

While the assassins were searching around and sending someone to report the news to the Blood Leopard sitting in the Magic Tower, the main Chelus, sat peacefully on the big bed that the Black Rose Chamber of Commerce had arranged for her, leisurely eating the food she had found from the Chamber of Commerce's kitchen.

Originally, the Black Rose Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of money in order to curry favor with Peter III, Prince Hoss and Prime Minister Butler in this competition, and even the top officials of the Chamber of Commerce went to the arena, but apparently their fawning was at least not accepted by Butler, and the assassins mercilessly eliminated all the irrelevant people in the VIP area of the arena...... Of course, it also includes these high-level executives of Black Rose, who are still dreaming of being summoned by the emperor on the spot before they die.

At present, the Black Rose Chamber of Commerce, because the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce are all dead in the arena and only an empty shell remains, and the valuables have been taken away by the small servants of the Chamber of Commerce and the unattended slaves, and there is no one everywhere in an empty big house, but it gives Chelus an excellent temporary hiding place.

「...... So, I'm still a little relieved, after all, no matter what the identity of the child is, in short, she really thinks about me, and I have to at least confirm how she is before leaving. 」

Cheruth sat on the bed, eating bread and sausages scavenged from the kitchen, and recited the word to Grey Wind through the contract.

"Okay, but you have to be safe. The voice of the gray wind sounded in Cheruth's consciousness, Sister Wolf knew her sister's temperament very well, and seemed to know that there was no way to persuade Cheruth to change her plans in this situation, "Sister Helo and I will find an opportunity to enter the city again, if you have any trouble over there, don't be reckless, wait until we come in." 」

"But the city of Kells must be completely closed by now, right? I just heard in the streets that some legion was about to attack the city outside the city. 」

"Well, there are some troops outside the southern gates, but they seem to be waiting for reinforcements. 」

"So, the prince, whose name is Hoth, seems to have escaped. 」

"As long as the siege begins, the scene will be chaotic, and Sister Helo and I will always have a chance to enter the city," Grey Wind's transmission paused here, "But Xiaobai, I saw some ...... in the army outside the city It seems to be the person from the Solan God Cult. 」

Cheruth moved her ears.

"I'm here for my people who don't know why they work under the Prime Minister. 」

"Little white, you...... Don't we have to do anything?"

"No, those two are not weak, and they are ......."

"And?"

Cheruth put down the half-eaten bread in her hand and looked out the window with some distraction.

"And I don't want to meet them yet...... Although I don't know why, they don't like it very much. 」

Grey Wind didn't immediately reply.

"Well, anyway, Sister Gray Wind and Sister Harrow should be more careful, and I'll go find out the news first after dark, and then contact you." 」

"Okay, be careful yourself. 」

Finishing the conversation with Grey Wind, Cheruth ate the rest of the bread in two bites, and then lay down on the bed.

The silk sheets had been taken away, but fortunately the men were not so frantic as to flee with their mattresses, so they were still lying soft.

“...... It seems that our people are really restless. ”

There was some self-deprecation in her tone, and Cheruth slowly muttered to herself.

"The Forest of Warcraft was a little inexplicable that time, but this time it was a traitor in the open...... First Lorris, then Prudence, is it a coincidence?"

As night fell, Cheruth left the Chamber of Commerce, not wandering around, but staring directly at the black-clad assassins who were still searching for her.

After all, the elite is a minority, and the strength of the assassins who came out to search for her is not very high, although the assassins are generally in groups of two or three, but she still seized the opportunity.

Taking advantage of the fact that the others were not paying attention, Chelus quickly weakened a team of two who were not too strong with the help of ultrasonic attacks, and after trying the feeling of being violently swept away by the pure wind magic, the two assassins who were all over their bodies with major injuries and no minor injuries finally revealed a little useful information - their leader, the Blood Leopard, had been guarding the magic tower since the afternoon.

As the prime minister's henchman, in this state of imminent war, he was either entrusted with some important tasks, or he should be in charge of direct protection work with the prime minister, no matter which one it is, it is enough to make the blood leopard's actions of guarding the magic guide tower seem a little suspicious, after all, the guard work started in the afternoon, and Zero set off to find the prime minister and never came back, also in the afternoon.

Cheruth manipulated the wind to suffocate the two of them and pass out, and then hurried towards the Magic Tower. Because when she first came to Kells, she and Harrow were both interested in the city's magic guide circuit here, so they specially asked William about the approximate location of the magic guide tower at that time, which came in handy.

Arriving in an alley near Central Street, Cheruth used the Psionic Officer in her copied state to evade a group of men in black wandering, and then secretly observed the surrounding buildings.

"The tower near Central Avenue should be there......"

The tower is not tall, only six floors from the outside, but it still looks quite conspicuous because there are obviously no high-rise buildings or anything like this in this world.

Cheruth just wanted to sigh that the world, which had not yet developed the means of warfare of air raids, would build important buildings so conspicuously, and then suddenly remembered that the urban magic circuit in this world seemed to be only used for lighting and other purposes, and was not as important as the power grid on the earth.

A magic network that only has the role of lighting, but at such a critical point in time, it is firmly held by the prime minister's henchmen, and there is a problem in thinking about it...... I just don't know if the Blood Leopard's purpose for doing this has anything to do with Nanoha's disappearance.

While thinking like this, Cheruth quietly approached the location of the Magic Tower, and soon, the whole picture of the Magic Tower appeared in front of her eyes, I don't know if it was due to the limitations of building technology or because the role was too small to not need so much space, the Magic Tower was not very high, only about six or seven floors, around the tower was an empty small square, and the black-clothed people in the square patrolled around their respective areas.

Hiding in a small alley at the entrance to the square, it was too ostentatious to use the power of the old tree to spawn plants in the city, so she still maintained the state of copying the power of the demon wolf, using the spirit of the beast to investigate.

"It's very well guarded...... There's no way to get in without even knowing it......"

Cheruth muttered to herself, there were twenty or thirty guards in the small square and at the gate of the Magic Tower, and there should still be some hidden in the surrounding houses and alleys, and their strength did not seem to be weak, at least stronger than the regular troops they had stopped when they tried to break through the city gate that night.

Or will she try to use ultrasound to attack a large area again? But last time, it was in the room and corridor, when the space is relatively limited, the effect of sound wave reflection back and forth will be so good, and for a wide field like the square, I am afraid that the effect of a large-area sound attack will be much reduced.

"Or break through head-on?"

Muttering like this, Cheruth was just about to find out if there were any gaps in the square where the patrol teams could attack them, when suddenly a cold voice sounded from behind her.

“...... Courage is commendable, but not a good idea. ”
