The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party

9 – assassination (2)

When there is a meeting, there is a parting, and there is also a strategic parting.

We eventually had to say goodbye to each other in the forest where the demonic smell and shady energy were scattered. The hero who looked at me with a sad and restless face looked at me alternately with Lena and said this.

“Are you two okay?”

“It’s okay because you’re so fast. If it felt like it was dangerous, he would throw away his stuff and run away with me.”

Lena said that and slapped me on the shoulder, and Ashuria spoke in a cold tone.

“Warrior. The role of the warrior is also important in this operation. Leave it to the two of us, and the hero should go in a different direction with us.”

The hero nodded, but his steps were slow as if regretting it. Lena waved her hand with a hearty smile like a mother sending her child on a picnic, and only after the figure of the hero disappeared over the vines did she let out a deep sigh and spoke to me.

“Shall we go too?”

“Yes. All right.”

If you raise your head a little from the direction where the party of warriors disappeared, there is a cliff protruding like a hawk’s beak on a hill. We watched the cliff and then turned to the operation position. At the point where our group split left and right, the operation seemed to have begun.

“After all, it’s easier when there are fewer people.”

As soon as the distance widened, Lena smiled and twirled the dagger like a toy. Every time the dagger moved, I could hear the sharp sound of the wind, so I carefully distanced myself. When Lena saw me pull back, she laughed even more quietly and sheathed the dagger.

“Didn’t you like traveling together?”

Lena shook her head. It was hard to tell what she was thinking because she was smiling. Sometimes I wondered if the spider tattoo on her neck had more expressions than hers.

“no. great. It’s a very fun party.”

“okay.”

“Rather than that, did you pack all your equipment? Did you bring your bag?”

There were items in the bag that Lena had prepared in advance for this operation. I opened the bag, took out the end of the rope and showed it.

“Yes. Bag with rope. Is this right?”

Lena tilted her head when she saw the rope I had taken out, then pulled it a little more to check its condition. He touched the surface and measured something, then frowned and told me.

“Isn’t this a bit strange? did i buy this? Is it a bit low quality?”

“I brought it as you said. A bag with a rope in it.”

Lena tilted her head to and fro, frowned, then shrugged her shoulders.

“what… … . right? There’s no way Ashria would carry a rope.”

“Isn’t it worth carrying around?”

“Ah, please. What are you going to do? He’s a kid who prefers to beat with his fist.”

“That too.”

Lena tucked the rope in and closed the bag. It was because time was running out to open the bag so that I could come and examine the contents more. Lena took a small needle-like object out of her pocket and pointed at the smoke across the horizon.

“Can we go over there?”

“Yes. We’re almost there. How do you plan to infiltrate?”

Even in the forest, I could see the soldiers standing on the watchtower and the guards walking around the camp. The sight of us walking around narrowly on the way and chatting was no different from the soldiers of the old empire.

“What are you going to do when you get paid?”

“party. I’m going to get the kids together and have a drink.”

“That’s good.”

It was a terrible sight that made my stomach twist. It occurred to me that it made no sense that they shared the same way of thinking as we do, and that they felt the same emotions as we do. The devil appeared and the empire was destroyed, and it was moving ruthlessly to devour the world.

They were to remain as filthy and brutal killing machines, not flesh and blood creatures.

Lena shook her head and looked around. A total of 3 guards. The soldiers looking everywhere from the watchtower couldn’t see where we were, and the soldiers were swinging their spears defenselessly. There were no soldiers or people following them, and the forest and camp were far away.

“Let’s kill.”

Before I could nod, the grass crumbled and scattered a few strands. A sound like blowing wind was heard and Lena’s body came up onto the demon’s shoulder. He wrapped his purple skin around his thigh, raised his dagger, and before the soldiers could react, one man’s neck rose into the air.

“What, what!”

“Everything, party… !”

Another man’s head was cut before blood gushed out of his severed neck. The moment the remaining one tried to blow the whistle, the stone sling I swung hit the devil’s philtrum with precision and the whistle was smashed.

At about the same time, Lena returned to the devil’s back and stabbed the devil’s back in different directions with a sharp object like a needle.

“Ahhh…! ah… !”

The devil gasped and exhaled as if to scream, but blood foam rose from his mouth, and blood poured out in all directions like a water balloon with a hole in it. He couldn’t scream because his lungs were punctured. Lena turned to the side to avoid getting blood on her clothes and pushed the corpse into the shade of a tree as she spoke to me.

“mister. Nice play.”

“I don’t know if I was interfering or not.”

“no. Aren’t you trusting him because he knows how to fight? In the first place, you tested your stamina when you hired a porter. I know you overwhelmingly won first place there.”

“It was a private test, how did you know?”

Lena smiled as she wiped the blood from her face. I didn’t know what thoughts were harboring beyond the bright smile.

“I sneaked in to see your face in advance. Are you flying? Same in the village last time.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

Actually, I knew what you were talking about. But I pretended not to know what she was talking about. Lena tilted her head and looked at me, then raised the corner of her mouth to a smile. Then he put the dagger in his pocket and said.

“Well, everyone has secrets. Same with co-workers. i believe in uncle He’s a good person anyway.”

And she pointed to the fence and said.

“Let’s go, uncle. Leave my backpack under the tree here, and let’s go in with only my luggage.”

The large backpack was hidden out of sight in the grass. Then he took out a small bag the size of a human head and took it with him. Lena pressed close to the wall of the fence and touched the wood grain, then closed her eyes and took out a dagger. It seemed like he swung his wrist lightly, and one of the trees forming the fence was snapped down, creating a wide gap.

The large barracks and the gaps in the hedges covered by bushes gave the impression of a dog hole originally made.

“let’s go.”

Lena gestured to me, and I followed her cautiously through the grass.

Now she was nervous. It was because despite using poison, the last resort, he couldn’t perfectly win. In order to stand out in the gigantic campaign where the fate of the continent was at stake, it was necessary to establish a more splendid specialty than now.

Stories about how she killed a few people with poison or how the civilians around her called her name in terror didn’t help her promotion in the slightest.

The war was, after all, a game of competing to see who ate more land.

Piercing the enemy deeper than anyone else, proudly planting a flag and announcing one’s major was the only shortcut to success. For the sake of the commander she loved and the boss who trusted her, she had to do better.

However, if a solution came to mind just because it was desperate, there would be no word “problem” in the world.

She was holding a pen and staring at a blank sheet of paper, not solving anything.

My head hurt as I continued to force myself to come up with a secret plan. Khalifa stood up, scratching her red hair, then turned to find some water.

“hello.”

And there was a handsome man with a grin. He was wearing his equipment quite firmly, and he even wore a sword around his waist, showing that he was a skilled man. Khalifa, who quickly identified her opponent, took a weapon out of her pocket and tried to scream.

“town… !”

“Shh-.”

But faster than she could scream, a hand came out from behind, closed her mouth, and ran a sharp awl down her spine like a weaving weaver.

“town… ! turn it off… ! ugh… !”

Tears welled up in Khalifa’s eyes as the pain pierced through the raw flesh and escaped, and her mouth was so wide that she couldn’t breathe properly. His legs and arms were so weak that he couldn’t respond, and his body was sprawled like a doll.

Lena said as she twirled the awl that had severed Khalifa’s nerves.

“Isn’t it amazing that these guys have a body structure similar to ours? Are the places that become paralyzed when poked the same?”

“You, you guys… … ! what, what… … ?”

Even when he tried to scream, only a weak voice came out of his mouth. In helplessness and fear, she glared at Lena and the porter.

said Lena.

“Don’t you see? it’s a robber burglar. A robber who wants to secure his share by robbing devils like you. A bloody Veles said there was a treasure here.”

“Veles, that guy who bought his mouth… … ! Kkeuk… !”

Khalifa’s face burned with hatred. It was the most enjoyable moment for Lena and the porter. The two asked, poking Khalifa in the face with needles, not even trying to hide their smiles.

“So, where is the treasure? Give me something worth the money.”

Khalifa struggled with a sense of betrayal and anger, but when he heard the question, he sneered and said,

“huh. number… … . I got it wrong stupid… … . bastards. It’s like that… … . not the place We are just soldiers… … . because it’s only Something like a treasure… … . They are managed separately… … . I mean. The loot we’ve already plundered… … . Did you send it over there… … . long.”

“Where is it?”

Khalifa didn’t stop laughing even though she was breaking out in a cold sweat.

“Do you think you can tell me? stupid… … . human bastards. I… … . I was paralyzed, but if I want to live even now… … .”

“I can’t help it. Shall we see how heavy your mouth is?”

Lena beckoned. The porter nodded and took out the rope. When I took the rope out of the bag, the handcuffs came out danglingly. Lena frowned at the rope the porter pulled out.

“what. Haven’t you ever bought those handcuffs?”

“It must be a gift.”

“No, I never put it in my bag? Get another one out.”

As Lena said, the porter took out more items from the bag.

whip and scented candles. An eyepatch and a cheek gag.

Khalifa, Lena, and the porter exchanged glances with puzzled faces. The porter looked at Lena with a gaze asking what this was, and Lena protested with an expression of regret. They exchanged glances for a while, followed by silence.

Even Lena didn’t expect this situation, and her face was strangely distorted.

“You, you dirty bastards… … ! Um, trying to humiliate a warrior… !”
