The members of the Night Raid were all delighted by the return of Chi Tong, but no one noticed the eyes in the distance. Even after entering the castle and locking the gate, they did not notice that the bottom wall was opened to allow people to pass through. Triangular hole.

Everyone who knew nothing about the invasion gathered in the conference room, all concerned about Chi Tong's physical condition.

Of course... As the first speaker, it's naturally Najeshtan, the boss of the night attack, because among so many people, she is the one who has the most control over the status quo. No... It's accurate to say that Najeshtan doesn't control much, either. The higher-ups of the Revolutionary Army didn't tell her too much, just said... If you want to know, just ask Chi Tong.

"Chitong, what have you been doing these two days? The top officials of the Revolutionary Army said that although you were on a top-secret mission, you could tell when you came back, so tell me, why did you come back so... injured? Who brought you back? Injured?"

"It's an assassination mission... The target is—General Zhenbei."

Without much hesitation, Chi Tong informed herself of the goal of leaving the base this time and performing the mission alone. As soon as she said this, the whole room exploded, and the confused voices and shocked exclamations continued one after another. sounded.

"What? General Zhenbei?!"

"You also accepted this kind of messy task??"

"Did you make it???"

…

Facing the noisy voices all around, Chi Tong did not answer immediately, but looked at Maine who was silent and just stared at her nervously, and shook her head gently.

"Don't worry, I didn't make it."

"It didn't work? Then this injury..."

"The counterattack I received from the failed assassination, but the person who treated me was Yong Ye."

"Hey??"

It wasn't just Maine alone, the other people in the night attack were also stunned, and then Chi Tong began to explain for Yong Ye. Although the relationship between the two was not exposed, it explained the twin sisters. , and the actual demands of the Southern Sages of the Revolutionary Army.

Of course, in fact, what conditions the sage in the south put forward, apart from Yong Ye and his personal guards, only the senior leaders of the revolutionary army who instigated the sage to go know. Now both sides have given different explanations. It's hard to choose who to trust.

No...Actually, there is no other choice. The Ye Raiders experienced the incident of the Southern Sage being nailed to the cross, and their favorability towards Yong Ye plummeted. Except for the minority Chi Tong and Maine, most of them It is inclined to the statement of the high-level revolutionary army. After all, the previous cruelty is the reality in front of us.

Although they were curious why Chi Tong was sent to the hospital by Yong Ye, they didn't feel that Yong Ye was a kind person who would send the enemy who assassinated him to the hospital, but Chi Tong didn't have time to say anything. , there was a knock on the closed door of this conference room.

The knock on the door of "tuk-tuk-tuk" sounded in this conference room, which suddenly silenced the noisy conference room, and everyone's back was inexplicably cold.

"...Is anyone out there? Chi Tong, Main, Hill, Brand, Tazmi, Rabo... all of them are there."

The abnormal knock on the door made Najeshtan look around the conference room, and when they called one by one, they found that everyone who had attacked at night was here, and the atmosphere in the conference room immediately dropped to freezing point.

"Rabo, is there an enemy invasion at the Silk Thread Barrier?"

"This does not."

With sweat on his forehead, Lubbock raised the Teigu he held in his hand, and looked at the ever-changing coil turntable at the end of the cross. Normally, if someone enters or leaves the coverage area of ​​the silk barrier, the turntable will make a sound, but now the turntable will make a sound. But nothing unusual.

Unlike the others who were preparing weapons, Tazmi looked in the direction of the door, pointed at the door with a trembling voice, and asked his companion beside him.

"Since there shouldn't be anyone outside, could it be... Could it be that there was a wrongful death in this castle before?! So the daytime is haunted???"

"Don't panic! Tazmi! There are no ghosts. At most, the enemy has touched this place. Be brave like a man!"

Brand, who was the first to show a fighting state, used the Tegu demon haunted and manipulated the armor, and turned into an armored man, pinched Tazmi's chin with **** and let him look at him, exuding a strong will. Eyes stared into Tazmi's eyes.

Although Tazmi couldn't see Brand's face and eyes through a visor, he could feel the liveliness of Brand's sight, and also felt terror in another sense.

However, Brand did not flirt with Tazmi for too long, and quickly let go of Tazmi, showing high vigilance, staring at the silent door to the man who had just stood up from his chair and wanted to join the fight. Akihito asked.

"Chi Tong, did you find yourself being followed when you came back?"

"Not at all... I deliberately went around a few times, so no one should be following me."

"...Yes, you are very vigilant, and it stands to reason that you shouldn't be followed... Could it be that someone else happened to break into this place? But... Rabo's silk thread barrier didn't respond at all, which was a perfect avoidance. ?"

Brand was thinking hard, but he couldn't find why someone could invade here, but there was a strange "tuk-tuk-tuk" knock on the door again, as if a ghost was really at work.

"...Brand, who is wearing armor with the highest defense, opens the door, and everyone else is on alert."

The conference room was quiet for a while, and then when the knock on the door rang for the third time, Najeshtan asked Brand to open the door, and she also operated her prosthetic limb, ready to go into battle at any time.

Needless to say, the person outside the door is Yong Ye. Due to Chi Tong's dawdling in circles in the imperial capital, he even knocked out a guard swordsman on the city wall, and put the guard swordsman's full body armor. He took off the cover and put it on his body, and also put on the standard metal helmet of the guards swordsman on his head.

In this way, when Brand kicked over the door of the conference room with a vigilant kick, Yong Ye took a step back to avoid the crushing of the door, and only an ordinary guard swordsman appeared in front of everyone.

"What? Swordsmen of the Guards???"

"How did a swordsman from the Guards get here?"

"No, wait! This man's breath is abnormal! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't even feel his presence. People have more or less smells, but he doesn't even have smells! It's like a ghost! "

When everyone was surprised, Leonai raised her vigilance, because in the state of beastization, she had no way to feel that in the state of high wind step, all the breath was integrated with the wind, and even the smell was hidden. forever night.

"No... is it really a ghost?"

After listening to Leone's words, Tazmi raised his sword to meet with obvious fear, obviously he was afraid of ghosts.

"What about the ghost! Come on with everyone! Eliminate this invader... No, if possible, capture it alive, Chi Tong retreats, you can't fight right now."

Najeshtan pushed Akashi back to prevent her, the seriously wounded, from participating in the battle, and then began to arrest the enemy who appeared out of nowhere.

"—very good! Look at my pumpkin!"

Maine's first attack was a direct shot at Yong Ye's thigh.

The orange-yellow rays flew away at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to respond to. In theory, it was really just an ordinary guard swordsman who would definitely be pierced through the thighs. What was surprising was that this guard swordsman was a The sword slashed on the orange-yellow ray and easily smashed it apart.

"Liar! Actually splitting the attack of the pumpkin?"

The swordsman of the Guards played by Yongye has a blade made of high-quality steel in his hand, which inexplicably distorts the atmosphere. Others may be surprised how this ordinary sword is made, but in fact this pair has Wuji Kendo. It is not difficult for Yongye, and even Wuji Kendo is the most convenient to deal with pumpkins.

Just when everyone was about to attack in groups, Yong Ye just raised the two-handed great sword that he had grabbed at hand, and faced them in the fighting state of a normal swordsman, as if he was waiting.

It's just this ordinary fighting attitude, but it makes it difficult for everyone present to start, because not only is it difficult for them to feel the existence of this person, but they can't find Yong Ye's flaws at all, and they really don't know how to attack.

However... Tazmi, who had very little combat experience with people at the end of the night attack's internal combat power, did not have too many concerns, and raised his sword directly to prepare to charge head on.

"Ah—huh?!"

"---and many more!"

Tazmi was drinking and swinging his sword before taking two steps when Brand grabbed the back collar and threw it directly behind.

"The other party is too strong, you just want to die by rushing up like this! Can't you see that?!"

"Huh? But it's not just ordinary..."
