"You're done with the situation, right?"

Glancing at the hands that Anon and Emma had shaken together, and when he let go of his hand, the red-haired chief flexed his knuckles and tapped twice the information board at his side.

"According to the information given by the Watch Palace, the Cult of Nightmare Black will dispatch a total of more than 700 members to set up a total of thirty-five strongholds starting tomorrow.

In five days, when the Fallen Abyss arrives at the 'Overlapping Point' with the Kingdom, the thirty-five strongholds will be held at the same time, providing the Nightmare King with the coordinates to squeeze into reality with the Fallen Abyss.

And our task is to clear all thirty-five strongholds before then, and at least thirty-three, as long as there are no more than two strongholds left, the Nightmare King will not be able to squeeze into reality completely."

After talking about the mission objectives this time, the red-haired director warped the information board again, and then pointed to the dozen or so maps nailed on it, and said with a serious expression:

"The places marked with red crosses on these maps are the locations of the strongholds marked in advance by the General Administration according to the information given by the watchmanship, and they contain a total of twelve counties of the kingdom, two cross-county mountains, and the sea area on the east side.

I have just applied for support, and nine of the three strongholds in Merinore, Wales, and Barrow County are being handled by the Lion Bureau;

The six strongholds in the eastern sea and the Hespito volcanic group will be taken over by the Aquarius Bureau, and we only need to deal with the remaining twenty strongholds, and then I will assign the task."

Twenty strongholds......

Looking at the eight people in the conference room except himself, Leon thought about it slightly.

Three-seven-twenty-one, then if the director does not go out and continues to guard the royal capital, then including himself, almost one person will have to run three strongholds.

And considering that among the cleaners here, only he is a third-level cleanup, and the others are all second-level or even first-level, it is estimated that he will have one less than the others, or simply only one stronghold.

"Emma, the seven strongholds of Lane County and Coast County will be handed over to you, if you don't have time, you can be ruthless."

"Okay."

Well? That's missing seven tasks?

In Leon's somewhat surprised gaze, the map marked with the most red cross was directly taken down by a red hair and sent to the desktop in front of Emma, and Emma nodded without surprise, frowning at the time and location marked on the map.

"And then Tom...... The four strongholds in the Xueden Mountains will be handed over to you, so pay attention to your movements when you start, and the snow over there has not yet melted, so don't make a big avalanche!"

"Uh-huh, I'll try!"

"It's not as much as possible, it's necessary!"

After glaring at Tom a little lazy in a warn manner, the red-haired director continued to distribute the task:

"Then Pioni, you go to Pavshire and Belley......

"Amyon, this one for you...... You also pay attention to the movement for me, and I am not allowed to drug indiscriminately this time......

"Harry, these are your ......."

"Spike, and you...... If you can't get busy, you can move the garrison, but remember to report afterwards......

No...... Isn't it all gone?

When the last two maps were tied together and delivered to the strong man colleague sitting opposite, Leon couldn't help but stand up and asked with a surprised expression:

"What about me, Director? What?"

"You stay and look after the house."

「……」

After seeing the somewhat speechless expression in his eyes, the red-haired director raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the palace, and explained calmly:

"The Nightmare King has a grudge against the ancestors of the royal family, and it cannot be ruled out that it will take this opportunity to take action against the members of the royal family, so you must be careful.

It just so happens that your status is special, there is no problem in entering and leaving the palace, and you are more familiar with the queen and the princess, so it is just right to do this job, if I am restrained by some unexpected circumstances, then you are responsible for protecting the royal family, and if something goes wrong, remember to ask the General Administration for help."

Unforeseen?

Although the red-haired director didn't explain it thoroughly, after making eye contact with her, Leon immediately understood what she meant, knowing that she was worried about the female reporter from the twin bureaus.

The female reporter named Nicole hadn't been seen since stealing the chief's wallet, and she was a real first-class cleaner with a sheep's tail that could hide her breath, so she had to be guarded against.

So it is estimated that protecting the royal family or something is nonsense, the real purpose of the director arranging for herself to enter the palace is probably to make herself closer to the royal family's Tongwen slate, and once something goes wrong on her side, she can immediately contact the General Administration through the royal family's channels for assistance.

"I see."

After nodding understandingly, Leon, who had received the task, sat down with peace of mind, while the red-haired director, who had arranged the task, clapped his hands vigorously and concluded neatly:

"If there's nothing to add, let's go now!

In addition, considering that there are two other sub-bureaus involved this time, it is impossible to determine which step they can take and whether there will be mistakes, so it is best to take all of the twenty strongholds in charge of our side!"

……

Late the next night, the royal palace.

After a busy day, Prince Joshua, who had patiently received six or seven groups of guests, had just fallen asleep when a knock sounded from outside the door of the dormitory.

"Tuk, Tuk"

「……」

The freckled prince slept heavily after a day's tossing, but after waiting for a while and seeing no response, the sound of his knuckles tapping on the plank suddenly increased, and the rhythm became more and more intense, and he was dragged out of his sleep.

"Tuk tuk tuk!" ???

Who? Dare to knock on my door so boldly? Do you want to die?!

Awakened by a knock at the door, the Freckled Prince scrambled to his feet, rushed down his large fluffy bed, and pulled open the door to the dormitory.

"Damn it! I have to ...... today Is that you?"

After seeing the face of the person who came, Joshua, who was about to scold, turned pale, closed his mouth in a hurry, and subconsciously took a big step back, but seemed to feel that he was a little timid, he took another half step forward, and then reprimanded with a fierce voice:

"Who let you in! You give me ...... Let's go! You let me go!"

"Let me go, thank you."

After squinting at Joshua, who was squinting at him, Leon, who was holding the pillow and the thin quilt, directly arched the freckled prince who was blocking the way, entered his room, and immediately leaned the pillow on the armrest on the side.

"Can't you understand people?"

Joshua, who was ignored, looked at him with a hideous look, and quickly ran over and raised his foot, wanting to kick the sofa over with the man lying on it, but after being squinted by Leon for a while, he finally put down his foot, and his cheeks twitched and said angrily:

"You get out! This is my room! you

Don't overdo it! Be careful of my ......."

"I'm here to protect you."

After interrupting him, Leon, who was full of weariness, yawned, and then lay down on the sofa, and informed with little sincerity:

"Something happened recently, and you may be in danger, so the bureau has given me a mission to protect the royal family.

But I'm just one, and I can't protect everyone, so I thought about it for a while, when I'm awake during the day, I'll protect your father, your mother, and your sister, and when I'm sleepy at night, I'll come to you to protect you, so I'm doing my duty......

Well...... If you don't have an opinion, then it's decided first, I'll go to sleep first."
