Chapter 40: Black History

Chris had intended to send the Courier to the capital to warn Ariel to beware of the disguised Assassins, but just as Chris stepped out of the door.

The alarm bell in the city rang loudly.

It seems that the orcs are taking advantage of the darkness of the night to carry out a sneak attack.

I'm afraid this is also part of the plan of the orc commander who doesn't know who it is, if the assassination is successful, then the city will definitely be in chaos now, and then take this opportunity to carry out a sneak attack.

It seems that this time I have met an opponent who is playing conspiracy.

"Chris, are you alright?" Hagen, with an anxious face, suddenly appeared in front of Chris.

"Is there an enemy attack outside? Hurry up and let the soldiers meet the enemy. ”

"I've already ordered, Chris have you seen Ariel, according to the guards, it seems that she saw Ariel haunting the granary at night. ”

"Oh no!" Chris was shocked and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and let the soldiers guard the granary, there may be a sneak attack." ”

"Got it, but ......"

"Ariel who came this morning was actually an Assassin after the disguise, I almost got a bento just now, since she had been to the granary, maybe there would be something unusual there. ”

"Okay, I'll go. Although he was surprised why Chris almost had a bento, Hagen couldn't think about it that much now.

Hurrying to the city wall, Chris found that under the cover of night, a large number of cavalry rushed towards the city gate with torches.

There were also many points of light flashing in the sky, which were supposed to be incendiary bombs in the hands of the orcs sitting on the bats.

"Chris, it's been investigated. Hagen, who rushed to the city wall, said: "Sure enough, some explosive-like things were found in the granary, and I had the soldiers water them." ”

"Okay. "Chris is now discovering his own tricks that he doesn't know about his opponent yet.

Attack the weak points by surprise first, and then take advantage of the chaos to break through head-on with the main forces.

It's really taking advantage of the beast clan's troops to the extreme.

"But it's also an opportunity. Chris looked at the cavalry heading towards the city gate and said, "Just in time for us to take advantage of this opportunity." Break the confidence of the orcs. Hagen, get all the dragon knights who are not seriously injured ready for battle. ”

The dragon knights quickly rose from the ground and crashed head-on into the bats, which didn't look very powerful. The cavalry also quickly put their ranks in order and rushed out of the city gates at the moment when the archers stopped firing their arrows.

The two armies suddenly became a mess.

"Ha-sama. "A beast girl suddenly flashed next to Bai Yu, who was personally on the battlefield.

"What's the matter?"

"Like, failed. The fox girl's expression was a little sad, because it was her sister who had gone this time. Said Ahead. I saw the Emperor standing intact on the city wall. ”

"Failed?" Bai Yu was a little surprised.

This time, he deliberately sent one of the best assassins in the clan.

"Could it be that the information is wrong? That girl can't get close to the emperor at all?"

No, in a sense your plan is very successful, it's just that some people are too restrained.

"Forget it. Since the plan failed, then there is no point in attacking like this, so retreat. Bai Yu looked at the sky, and at this time he could already see many bats falling from the sky.

It seems that the dragon knight is also dispatched.

"But Yu-sama ......"

"Maybe that emperor has some defensive props, and if it continues now, it will only be a loss for us. ”

―――――――――――――――――― cutting ――――――――――――――――――――

"Finally retreated. Although it was almost early in the morning, neither Chris nor Hagen slept. Instead, sit in the hall in a daze.

"Yes, it's too dangerous this time. Chris had a lingering feeling just thinking about it: "Hagen, you must be aware of any people you know who are deliberately approaching you recently, and there may be an assassin." ”

"I see. Hagen nodded: "They all seem to be targeting some important people. ”

"That's true. Chris was about to say something, but a figure flew in through the door.

"Well, I'm tired. Finally flew in. Ariel jumped down from the broom floating in the air and looked around: "Well, so Chris you don't have a bento." Anne said "Mmmm?"

Without the slightest hesitation, at the moment of seeing Ariel. Chris moved from his seat.

With his left hand, he pinned Ariel's hands behind his back, and with his right hand, he quickly pinched Ariel's chin to prevent the alleged assassin from committing suicide.

Chris then pinned Ariel against the wall, immobilizing her.

But no matter how you look at it, it's like a plot of a forced kiss.

Looking at Ariel, who was staring at him in horror, Chris sneered: "Pretending to be quite similar, but don't think the same trick can be used against me twice." ”

"Well, Chris, I don't think you're ......" Hagen saw Ariel's broom. I felt the need to explain something.

But it's clear that now Chris doesn't believe anything.

"Hmph, don't think that you can pretend to be a real person with a broom this time, why don't you say who sent you?"

This time, however, Chris discovers that Ariel's big eyes have turned from horror to anger.

Wait, it seems that this assassin's pupils are red.

Could it be said?

A slightly trembling right hand left Ariel's chin. Immediately after that, Chris received a blow to the head with a hammer.

"Chris!" Gritting her teeth, she pulled out her hands as Ariel stared at Chris. "I haven't seen you for a few days, have you learned to kiss girls in public?

"Uh, this. Now Chris can be sure that the Ariel in front of him is genuine, but the question is how to explain his behavior just now?

"This is actually a misunderstanding, hehe, a misunderstanding. ”

"Misunderstanding? I think you almost got away with it. Twisting her reddened wrist, Ariel said, "And what have you been talking about inexplicably?

"Well, it's nothing, I'm just a little sleepy. "Chris doesn't want to talk about it.

In fact, Chris had previously been assassinated by an assassin pretending to be Ariel. "Compared to Chris, Hagen is much more honest.

So don't mention black history.

"Huh?" Looking at Chris, whose expression suddenly changed richly, Ariel smiled and said, "It seems that Chris, you have encountered a lot of things, could it be that the assassin who pretended to be me is seducing you with a beauty trick?"

Can you guess that?

Chris's heart trembled a little, trying to make his voice as steady as possible: "Well, of course not, she just stabbed me when she saw me." ”

"Chris, I guess I did it at night. Hagen said something was wrong.

Hagen, believe it or not, I'll go back and make you a civilian?

"No, no, in the afternoon. Chris hurriedly denied it, what happened before Chris doesn't even want to think about it now, just let it be buried in the black history.

"Hey, what's wrong with it?" After staring at Chris carefully for a while, Ariel suddenly said, "Forget it, in fact, I came today because Ahri said that he saw an assassin who wanted to assassinate you in the imperial capital, so we rushed here, Anne, they will be here soon." ”

"Really? That's great. Chris was finally relieved, and he didn't know if it was because he didn't mention the black history or because Annie was fine. "If we are together, the Assassin will not be able to assassinate. ”

"But, it looks like Chris you've lost the line?"

“......”

As a result, in the end, he still couldn't escape ridicule.
