93 [84] Those who hide.txt (1/2)
Midnight.
When all but the night guards had fallen into a deep sleep, there were six figures in the castle lurking in the darkness.
They were dressed in black, and while hiding themselves in places, they walked forward without hesitation as if they knew everything about the castle.
It's the human race after all. Even though we're the opponents, to allow them to invade the castle of a country so easily.
'(It can't be helped. (There's no way to blame them, we've lost all signs of our magic. No matter how good a master you are, you won't be able to detect our presence.
”(Don't waste your breath. It's the target's room.)
Although the conversation is clearly condescending to the human race, there is no carelessness or pride in their movements.
The words of the leader-like person is not a caution, but rather a desire to quickly accomplish the objective.
(You two are the guards. You are to secure the retreat. You guys capture the target while I'm holding the spirit-sama back.
The five of them nodded silently at the instructions given to them and quickly took up their own positions.
''...Alright, let's go.''
Just as they prepare to charge into the room where they're supposed to be...
Guvph!
「「「「!!!!」」」」
Suddenly, the four(...) people who were startled by a voice that sounded like a crushed frog from behind suddenly jumped from the spot and took a battle stance as soon as they turned around.
There was Virum's figure, who was looking precisely at them, despite the darkness.
''Well, is there anything left to say?''
Huh?
Uh-oh.
A strangled person is strangled on one arm, and underneath his feet a person whose back has been stepped on so hard that he is having trouble breathing.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the marketplace.
''Tch! In this situation, I don't care if there's a little uproar! I'll hold him down! You guys capture the target and retreat! Aerogeist.
It's too early to say, but the leader of the group creates a gust of wind towards Virum.
Perhaps he was concerned about his captured comrades and unleashed a spell with low killing power.
And if possible, he may have aimed to free those friends...but that choice was completely wrong.
''Now...what?!''
What?
Kahaha!
As soon as a gust of wind occurs, the three men try to close the distance to the desired room, but two of them are thrown at the people who were supposed to be tied up.
''Hey, what's going on!''
What was that noise?
'Who the hell is out here in the middle of the night? Shut the f*ck up!
After such a flamboyant and fierce battle, they would wake up if they were not too dull.
Meldina and Cunaria look panicked, and Oma doesn't even try to hide her frustration as she vigorously opens the door to reveal herself.
''d*mn! Retreat!
Not even a single Virum was able to break through.
In addition to the fact that the number of people unable to fight, the number of enemies has increased, we will have no choice but to retreat.
However, the two men captured by Virum were already unconscious, and only the remaining two were able to react to that order to retreat.
''Coona, protect Mel! Oma's not going to let those guys pass out in there!
Yes!
Oh, oh!
After giving minimal instructions to Cunaria and Oma, who hadn't yet grasped the situation, Vilm jumped out in the same manner, following the three who had broken the window and fled outside.
Despite the confusion, Cunaria and Oma, who followed the instructions given out, took their weapons and leaned close to Meldina, and Oma asked the soldiers who rushed in to bring a rope for capture.
