In the royal city of Arestler, on the outskirts of the headquarters of the Night's Blade, a large force of the royal guards has arrived here, and the soldiers with weapons and armor are silently surrounding this area with serious expressions, waiting for the space located here to be sealed and disappear.

The residents of the royal city who walked near this area all quickened their pace, and the occasional observer chose to retreat quickly to avoid causing trouble to himself after discovering that these soldiers were not city guards and were only standing still here.

"One minute countdown, the space blockade of the Night's Blade Headquarters will be opened, and then quickly take over this area, this time the mission is carried out in advance by two legends, there will be no possibility of problems, our responsibility is to quickly complete the follow-up takeover, as little as possible to suppress the turmoil."

The voice of the Chief of Operations reached their ears through the magic communication device built into each soldier's helmet, and the countdown began after re-emphasizing the focus of their operation.

「10，9，，8，7……」

As the countdown progressed, the surrounding space began to be severely unstable, and what seemed to be a completely empty space began to emerge as vague objects.

"4,3,2,1,0, mission objective appears, execute quickly!"

The final countdown was over, and the headquarters of the Night's Blade, which had been sent to another space for isolation, returned here under the traction of the large-scale magic circles around it, and appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the commander-in-chief gave a command, and the soldiers of the royal guard had already bent their legs and were ready to sprint.

「！？」

The footsteps have been taken, and according to the military order, there must be no command to stop, but surprise and shock are probably the emotions in the hearts of every soldier charging forward at this moment, what is the situation...

There was no building on the Night's Blade headquarters in front of them, it was just the foundation of a house, and the foundation was empty, and there were no ruins of the building in sight, and there was no room for the Night's Blade headquarters that was supposed to exist, which was completely different from what they had described in the order they had received before

"Stop the charge and disperse to investigate!"

The situation was abrupt, but the commander-in-chief's order was still timely enough, and the charging team slowed down in an orderly manner, changed the mode of march to a slow advance, and began to cautiously confirm the empty foundation.

The investigation and search took about five minutes, but in fact it was the extra time it took for the soldiers to be cautious and use a lot of equipment to probe the place, which was so clean that there was nothing, the houses were gone, and not a single person was missing.

"The mission objective has completely disappeared, including the building and all the people inside, and the two previous legends have also disappeared, and there is no way to establish contact with them, and they have not contacted us."

The liaison member of the Royal Guard quickly conveyed the situation to the commander-in-chief, and concluded that the place was completely empty, and there was nothing left, and it was not even possible to confirm the success of the assassination against the Charles.

"See, are there any remnants of energy that can provide information, such as traces of magic or remnants of void energy."

"No, this area is clean, so clean that it is abrupt, and our reconnaissance methods cannot detect any effective traces of energy residue, and we cannot track and locate a vanishing being."

The situation is clear, the event has officially turned into the unknown, which is completely beyond expectations, and the assassination carried out by the two legends did not even fail in the commander-in-chief's plan.

He simply listed the size of the storm that might arise and the number of troops needed to suppress it, depending on how smoothly the implementation would be, and made different plans for these scenarios.

What is now presented is a somewhat inexplicable result, everything including the two legends has disappeared, and its whereabouts are unknown, and it is not known whether Charles was killed or not, and it is impossible to determine what happened.

"......, the detachment will search the surrounding area, and the rest of the personnel don't care if they have permission or not, and don't care how the members of the Ryder family react, if there is resistance and refuse to enter the team, kill them directly, and quickly identify Charles? Ryder's movements.

Extremely brief

Thinking about it, the commander-in-chief's efficient and fierce order was quickly issued, and the soldiers of the royal guard, who were originally confused, immediately began to act after receiving the order, perfectly executing the commander's order.

"The result of the trouble, completely beyond expectations, this kind of headless result is the most troublesome, let's pass the situation on first, two legends...... In any case, it would be too unusual to have to raise the alert level of the royal family by two levels."

The commander-in-chief quickly summarized the situation of the incident, and then sent all the existing information to the Minister of War through his own dark line magic communication, and at the same time bluntly put forward a request to increase the alert level.

Looking at the briefing from the magic channel, the Minister of War, Gerald's face was extremely ugly, this is Doron? The first mission that His Highness Charlemagne was responsible for after he made a promise to him, and two Legends made a mission that should have been foolproof, but this happened.

"Damn it..., what I deserve can't end up in this place."

Gerard felt uncomfortable with a somewhat hideous face, and pressed his palm against his face, forcing himself to think calmly, while raising the palace alert level according to the orders of the commander-in-chief.

"There is no choice, there are two Legendary-level powerhouses related to the Night Blade, this sudden situation must not be further aggravated by trying to hide it or solve it by himself, you can only inform Your Highness, relying on the astrologer he trusts is the best way to confirm the situation."

Although he didn't want to make a bad impression on the king for his failure, Gerald knew exactly how to get the relevant information quickly, that is, the prophecy, and he had no choice.

Standing up and quickly going through the layers of soldiers, Gerald came to Doron? Charlemagne's hall told the other party the full situation of the current mission.

"......, let Celine come over, you continue to take charge of the progress of the mission, and before you get more information, you can find as many legends as you can."

Doran? Charlemagne was silent for a moment, and then gave the order lightly, unable to hear the emotional joy and anger.

"Yes!"

Gritting his teeth a little reluctantly, Gerard hurried to where Seren was, seeking information that the great astrologer knew.

Turning out of the hall, Gerald saw the figure of Selene, who had already come from the side hall and was heading to the hall where the king was.

"Doron? His Highness Charlemagne is looking for you."

The straightforward conversation, the same is true of the usual communication between the two.

"I naturally understand that there is a change in the plan, and I have seen it, so I have to remind Your Highness that in order for the plan to go smoothly, remember that the Ryder family is the key, and their family has hidden something very important, find out that thing."

Selene replied lightly, it seems that the other party knew when the situation changed, and he didn't need to inform him to come to see His Highness, and the other party's ability to predict was still as exaggerated as Gerald knew.

"Understood, thanks for the reminder."

A little relieved, Gerald also got the information he wanted, where should the direction of the investigation go next, Selene's ability, it's really too easy to use, but whenever it is, the description will be a little vague, maybe this is the common problem of all similar abilities.

The two parted here, and Gerald quickly rushed to the command of the mission, going to the Ryder family to dig up the hidden things, while Cherine went to the king's place to meet Doron? Charlemagne.

"Didn't you tell me that nothing would happen to the plan? Why is this going to be different from what was originally planned?"

As soon as Selene entered the hall, the king's reproach had been suppressed, and she had promised that there would be no problem with the plan, and the turn of events at this moment clearly made the king angry.

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, our plan is to kill the Charles? Ryder, and take over the Night's Blade, right, the situation that has occurred at this time doesn't seem to indicate that the plan is wrong."

In the face of this angry questioning, Céline behaved indifferently, as if she had foreseen it

Material.

"You mean ......?"

Doran? Charlemagne's brows furrowed, Selene seemed to have something to say, and after following the other party's train of thought, he found that the situation was indeed as the other party said, and it did not prove that the plan failed, so, did Celine have any other plans?

"Get rid of the Charr? Ryder, the family behind him is still a problem after all, after all, their ability, after all, it is impossible not to know about the problems that have occurred in Charles all the time, it is better to deal with it all at once, I have prepared a great gift for them."

Seren replied with a hint of a smile and took something out of herself.

"It seems that your malice towards the Ryder family is not ordinarily deep, not only do I want to exclude them, but also completely exterminate them at this moment, or not, since it is in line with the plan and will help the future, I can tolerate your careful thoughts."

"Now, then, tell me your plans."

Doran? Charlemagne was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Selene's malice towards the Ryder family would be so deep, but now he understands a little, what Selene wants to do, it seems that the other party has already expected things to go like this.

"Okay."

In a simple response, Serene raised the metal cylinder-like thing in her hand and activated it, and in an instant, an extremely strong void energy magic mixed wave suddenly bloomed, penetrating the palace layers of the barrier against magic and the rest of the energy, and transmitted to the outside world.

"You!?"

Doran? Charlemagne was still speculating about what Serene had taken out, but now he asked in surprise.

Swept away by the fluctuations, the body posture of "Seren", and even Duolun? The subconscious judgment in Charlemagne's mind gradually changed, and the sense of familiarity disappeared and was replaced by a strong sense of disobedience.

"Damn, it's a hypocrisy."

Doran? Charlemagne realized almost instantly what was going on, and that the "Seren" in front of him, who was gradually revealing her true form, was fake.

The Hypocritical Mask, which itself was used to conceal the Ryder's prophetic abilities and keep them unaware of Charles' death, was used to disguise Selene and came to him.

And the existence in front of him shocked Charlemagne even more, it was the knight named Wang Yu!? How could it be this guy, his strength would never be able to participate in an event of this level.

"Is this Avia's decision-making and judgment ability, every step is the same as she planned, sure enough, since there is an existence like Celine with the ability to predict, then once there is an event that is difficult to confirm the situation, it will inevitably seek prophecy from her, this is indeed the right choice, but it is also a huge flaw!"

Yu sighed in his heart about the girl's resourcefulness, and the scene arranged in advance allowed Wang Yu to stand in Duolun smoothly at this moment? In front of Charlemagne, then it is time to give a big gift to the royal family as promised.

High in the sky, the "Archangel", wrapped in the divine power of the night, spread its wings and lit up the divine aura......
