𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟓𝟔: 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 (2)
Sunday.
Oswald handed Royman a shadow cloak and various assassination weapons. Then he called Alicia and handed her a magic wand. Then Alicia got angry and said it was not a necklace like the one he had given to Natasha last time, and soon disappeared, shouting that he was an idiot.
“. . . . . . “
Oswald was so embarrassed at being abused after giving a gift that he couldn’t speak.
At that moment, a familiar presence behind him . . . Oswald turned around to see Gilgamesh standing there with Yuilhan, Azel, and Royman.
‘𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵, 𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 . . . 𝘏𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘵?’
“Oswald, I need your help.”
“. . . . . . “
Eventually, led by Gilgamesh, they arrived in Gilgamesh’s room.
“Oswald, as you said, I looked into Marquis Starbion and was able to catch something suspicious in his actions. However. . . with that alone, it’s not enough to do the job. . . . . . “
“So?”
“If something happens, I’d like Oswald, who can handle it, to come with me.”
“So there’s no point in creating this organization?”
Saying this, Oswald thought Gilgamesh had a more cowardly side to him than he’d thought.
” We’ve decided to make a name for ourselves as Peacemakers . . . If we fail, it would be better to fail as Peacemakers. Of course, if I need your help . . . I’ll have you join us as a Peacemaker, too. “
He’d thought for sure Gilgamesh would say, “Let’s figure it out among ourselves, if only out of pride.” But . . . the Gilgamesh in front of Oswald was very different from the Gilgamesh he knew.
“Then I’ll ask for your help.”
“What?”
That night.
They secretly crossed the academy wall. Of course, there were various traps and alarms installed all over the academy to prepare for intruders. . . This was the only place where such an alarm was not installed.
This was part of the consideration that the headmaster had made so that Oswald could freely enter and leave the academy.
“But Oswald, what the hell is your identity?”
Those who safely escaped over the wall. . . Azel, who couldn’t contain his curiosity, asked Oswald carefully.
“What, you didn’t tell them about my identity?”
” I can’t just go around blabbing about your secrets unless you tell them yourself, can I? “
“. . . . . . “
Times like this, he hated his own honest nature.
In the end, Oswald revealed to Miguel, Azel, and Yuilhan that he was a demon hunter. Of course, in the case of Miguel and Azel, they had strange thoughts that it was because of them, so he told them that was not the case, and Gilgamesh, standing next to him, said it was not the case either, before they finally understood.
After that, Oswald used a magic communicator to contact the CID Central Branch and requested a map of the Central Sewers. He could have asked Hecaton, but . . . this was a matter of taking down Marquis Starbion, a member of the Empire’s aristocracy. If he informed Hecaton, there was a high probability it would not be handled properly, so he made the request to the CID.
A little later, Oswald, who had gone out to a separate contact point, received the map and returned to the party to share the map.
“Well, if we move through the sewers, it won’t be difficult to get to Marquis Starbion’s mansion. The problem is. . . what to do with what we might encounter inside the sewers.”
At Oswald’s words, Royman coldly stated that he would take care of them all.
“Even the homeless?”
Royman nodded at Azel’s question and said,
“Most of them are members of the Information Guild. If we don’t take care of it, the Information Guild will probably know about our movements.”
After roughly reaching an agreement, they put on black coats with hoods and covered their faces with silver masks and pressed down on the hoods.
After that, they opened the manhole cover nearby and infiltrated the sewer. . . Gilgamesh, who was the last to enter, closed the lid and entered, completely infiltrating.
“I’ll take the lead.”
Honestly, it was difficult to find a way in this dark sewer just by looking at the map. Especially since it didn’t look different. . . It was even more difficult, but it wasn’t very difficult for Oswald.
‘𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘱.’
But what if intuition is added to the map? You can get to Starbion’s mansion faster.
After walking for a while, they encountered guys in green coats at the crossroads.
‘𝘏𝘢. . . . . . 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴. . . . . .’
They were carrying a box on their backs, as if they were moving something.
For a moment, an unspoken silence flowed between them and Oswald, and they looked at each other’s eyes. . . he noticed that they were slowly moving their hands. Oswald moved quickly first.
Shaa!
Oswald, who approached the green coats at an incredible speed, reached out and grabbed the head of the guy who was in front. Then, using the wrist snap, he activated the sleeve blade attached to his forearm, and soon the blade of the sleeve blade, which had been contracted by the spring, bounced and poked the green coat man’s throat.
Puuuk.
Paah!
Then, when the guys behind him were about to pull out their revolvers, Royman, who had moved without anyone noticing, poured out his dark energy and took care of the other guys.
Oswald, who had quickly cleaned up the five liberal revolutionaries, opened the box just in case.
“Bombs.”
Dynamite.
A newly blended bomb made in the east.
“Hmm. . . . . . “
He was tempted to change into their clothes and disguise the assassination of Marquis Starbion as the work of liberal revolutionaries.
After all, if they hung the body and wrote a few words denouncing imperialism and fascism, it would be categorized as the work of liberal revolutionaries and the case would be closed.
However, this event was the first event of the organization called ‘Peacemaker’. The goal was to make the organization’s name widely known, thereby attracting the attention of others and further becoming a secret society like the ‘Dark Brotherhood’.
“Hmm. . . . . . “
Meanwhile, Miguel and Azel were trembling because they had seen someone die for the first time.
” Get ahold of yourselves . . . Let’s go. “
Oswald took the dynamite from the box and put it in his magic bag, and then dropped the body and the box into the flowing sewage.
Continuing forward, they fought a skirmish with some skaven and were also attacked by vagrants. Of course, they dealt with them all mercilessly, as well.
“Is this it?”
A huge mansion came into view directly in front of the group that had climbed up through the manhole cover. Miguel and Azel frowned at the size of the mansion, which was so large it would be hard to say it lacked a sense of security.
” Even if it’s the capital city, Central . . . This is too much. “
Even Duke Solcrushid’s mansion was not this big. Starbion’s mansion, which was larger than the Five Grand Dukes’ mansions.
“In terms of security, there are a considerable number of Sword troops that can be mobilized in the capital.”
In order to maintain security in the large and populous capital city, Central, at least one regiment (5,000 troops) was required. And the Sword troops that maintained security in such a capital had two regiments, or one brigade, in preparation for emergencies.
Furthermore, the army of the Central Military District, which guards the capital, was stationed on the outskirts of Central, so apart from the Imperial Guard, the Sword’s officers were the most numerous.
“Tch . . . . . . “
Miguel, who was smack his lips as if he was envious, nagged Azel to become a Sword officer or something.
“Well, that wouldn’t be bad.”
The Sword also had the Sword Academy, which trained high-ranking officers. If you graduated from the Imperius Academy, you could go on to graduate from the Sword Academy and be commissioned as a second lieutenant, just as you could become a lieutenant.
In addition, those who became lieutenants were assigned to the Sword in the capital city of Central for one year, and since the number of officers belonging to the Central Sword was one brigade, it was 4 shifts and 3 shifts, and the salary was also considerable.
Since it was to protect the capital, there were various bonuses and incentives in addition to the basic salary. Therefore, only the initial salary was twice as high as that of a second lieutenant.
Of course, in the case of the military, the salary increases regardless of the place of assignment as the rank increases. . . In the case of Sword, the amount of bonus or incentive varied depending on the place of assignment, so it gradually became a structure where it could not earn less than a military officer.
” That’s enough small talk . . . . . . You’d all better start getting serious from here on out. “
At Oswald’s words, they nodded, showing a nervous expression. . . . . .
“I’ll take the lead. . . Everyone follow me.”
Certainly, Marquis Starbion, the Sword’s security chief, had tight security inside the mansion. Since the officers were directly in charge of security, there were permanent personnel, and in addition, the territorial soldiers and knights sent from the Starbion Earl’s territory were guarding this mansion.
Gilgamesh led the party somewhere as if he was familiar with such Starbion’s mansion.
A little while later, Gilgamesh reached the west side of the mansion, knocked on a side door with a certain rhythm, and a knight appeared as the door opened.
“I have contacted the Earl.”
“. . . . . . “
Oswald was speechless at the sight. No, he’d been talking about all this security, and now he was exposing their movements here?
“Did the Peacemaker come in person?”
“We are all Peacemakers.”
“Hmm. . . . . . “
Looking at the knight who seemed a bit incredulous, Gilgamesh showed him the Aura Blade.
“Okay, then follow me.”
‘𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳?’
“The earl was somewhat doubtful. . . But since Peacemaker has started, he said we should definitely take care of everything. “
As he said that, Gilgamesh turned his head slightly towards Oswald, and Oswald responded to Gilgamesh’s intention and began to guide him in the lead.
Oswald, who had already experienced Marquis of Starbion’s several times in the game, moved familiarly through the mansion and headed for the space filled with his secrets.
“As expected. . . Peacemaker.”
The knight was impressed to see Oswald moving as if he had been through the mansion even though he had never been there before.
The secret space in this Marquis Starbion’s mansion was in a rather unexpected place. Namely . . . the maid’s room.
No one suspected a thing, even though the marquis visited the maid’s room every night. It was just rumored that the marquis was a womanizer . . . . . .
‘𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘢 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘰𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘳.’
To be exact, she was a 5th circle wizard belonging to the ‘Seekers of Truth’. I’m just pretending to be a maid to help Marquis Starbion. . . . . .
The Marquis happened to be on night duty for Sword today. There were three security chiefs in Central Sword, and these security chiefs took turns on a three-shift basis for night duty, and today was Starbion’s Marquis’s duty day.
Soon, Oswald, who arrived in front of the maid’s room, gestured to the knight. The knight knocked on the door with a face like, “No way,” and soon the maid came out from inside.
“What’s going on, sir?”
Click.
Oswald, who had taken out a revolver from his arms without anyone noticing, pushed the muzzle into her temple, and she tried to say something with a bewildered face, but Oswald struck first.
Taang! Ping!
The trigger was pulled without hesitation.
Surprisingly, the bullet bounced off without piercing her head.
Then the maid started casting magic at Oswald.
Fireballs, lightning bolts, waterballs, and wind cutters were cast in an instant. This meant that it had been memorized in advance, and it also meant that it was always ready.
At that time, Gilgamesh subdued her from behind. He cut off the shield she had created with his Aura Blade and put his hand through the gap.
After that, he raised his hand and hit the maid’s nape, and eventually the maid fainted, unable to maintain consciousness.
” Whew . . . . . . Now that was a noisy racket. “
It was certain that guards who had heard the noise would be rushing here soon. The knight and the soldiers could be dealt with by the knight present here, but there was nothing they could do about the Sword guards.
Oswald quickly entered the maid’s room and pulled out a few books from the bookshelf, and soon the floor shook and a passage leading to the basement opened.
“Now you have to either run away or go down and finish it.”
At Oswald’s words, everyone exchanged glances and soon nodded.
“Okay, let’s go.”
