Chapter 207: Secret Infiltration
Three days later, in a fortress in the north, inside a stone house.
Outside, it was a world full of snow and ice, and inside the stone house, it was as warm as spring. There was a female general in the house and she was actively discussing something, standing near the map.
— The eastern and southern lines must be attacked simultaneously. Kylie and Hadi, you will be responsible for these two places — " Esdeath was working out a strategy for tomorrow.
— The two leaders immediately nodded, their faces brimming with confidence.
— Tonta's stronghold will be the main point of attack, I will lead the men to the main entrance, Byakuya, you will sneak into the enemy stronghold tonight and wait for the right opportunity to kill Numa Seiki.
Su Xiao nodded, and Esdeath continued to strategize.
Su Xiao knew that this battle wouldn't last long. Teigu Esdes, the "Demon Extract", was very strong for war, and her army was just a cover. The main force in this war was only Esdes.
In the end, Esdes would definitely return to the imperial capital with a victory, and since he was Esdes ' adjutant, he would return with her.
After all, Su Xiao wasn't the only adjutant in her army, and since he wouldn't show any leadership qualities, Esdes wouldn't leave him in any of the territories.
The most important thing now was to end the war as soon as possible and return to the imperial capital. Some contractors are likely to start wreaking havoc soon.
The meeting soon came to an end, and Su Xiao was left alone with Esdes.
— This is information about Numa Seiku. It will be easy to handle. He does not like women and has very ordinary habits, besides he has a weakness in the form of alcohol.
Men in the north were not averse to drinking alcohol. After all, the north had a very harsh climate.
— He usually drinks after 10 pm, so it won't be hard to kill him at night. You can do as you see fit.
— Well.
The meaning of Esdes ' words was obvious — he would have to go and kill Numa Seika.
*Pum*
A leather bag was placed on the conference table.
— Inside is a portrait, good clothes, high-calorie food and some tools that you will need to get inside. There are also two signal projectiles, red to indicate failure and request help, and green to indicate success, but it will also inform you that you have fallen into a trap.
— Understood, " Su Xiao just nodded.
— It's very cold now and it's going to get even colder. Remember, you're a killer, not a kamikaze.
— Su Xiao took out his winter clothes from his bag. These clothes were just right for him. It was made from the fur of some kind of beast.
— Come back quickly, " Esdes was really worried about her subordinates.
— Good, " Su Xiao said and left the house. After he left, Esdes saw a red signal pistol on the table. — Will he accept only success, but not failure?" This time, I found a really suitable person. He's strong, has a cold temper, and doesn't care about anything other than orders. What organization trains such great assassins~? Esdes sat at her desk, one hand on her chin, the other twirling a red flare gun.
— I will take him back to the capital after the war ends, such a person is not suitable for the army.
*Pum!*
Esdeath put the red flare pistol down on the table.
If someone were to look inside the gun, they would find that there was no signal cartridge in it!
The failure of an assassination attempt usually brought the assassins to their end.
Did the dead have to be saved?

In a fierce snowstorm, Su Xiao was walking on a snowy field with a paper in his hands.
Since there was no other person around him right now, Su Xiao gradually changed his facial expressions. It wasn't easy for him to always look at other people without any expression. He was already beginning to feel his face go numb.
— Shitty killer, " Su Xiao muttered. Three days of walking with a stony face was very difficult. In his mind, he decided that he wouldn't pretend to be a killer next time.
— Numa Seika is in the fortress, right? " Looking carefully at the portrait in his hands, he saw the young man's face.
On the low wall of the fortress of Tonta.
— Did you hear that? They sent an army again. This time, they sent 500,000 soldiers, " a soldier of the northern army said with some apprehension.
— It's useless. Last time, they sent 200,000 soldiers, but they couldn't do anything.
— Don't tell me, they are quite suitable for feeding wolves. Those imperial bastards deserve to die.
Laughter rang out on the wall. The soldiers of the north held the Empire in contempt.
— It's almost shift time, so where is he? the soldier said impatiently.
— The guys from the Kalibat tribe have been getting more and more arrogant lately. They've only won a few times, and they've already become so proud.
— I'll go get a shift.
— I'm with you.
A few soldiers left, and one older soldier shook his head.
— The young s-kh! " came a groan, and the old soldier fell softly into the snow outside the city wall.
The night was dark, and the strong wind in the north rarely abated, as did the snowfall.
There was no electricity in the fortress and many people went to bed early, so the city was abnormally quiet right now.
Su Xiao walked along the wall, looking for a certain spot.
— Twenty-third from the left and seventy-third from the right... Su Xiao quickly found Numa Seiki's house.
The stone house wasn't tall compared to the other buildings in the fortress, but this stone house could at least protect against the cold wind.
There was no security posted in front of the house door. Numa Seika was very strong, he didn't need it.
After getting closer to the house, Su Xiao began to analyze the situation inside the house. A young man was drinking in a room by himself, and it was Numa Seika.
— Martha, I will avenge you, very soon... Numa Seika was drinking, and from the look on his face, it didn't mean anything to him.
Su Xiao was waiting outside the house. This wasn't the right time. He wasn't going to kill him right now. If he barged in at this moment, he would alarm too many people.
Time passed... when the first hour of the night arrived, the temperature dropped a few more degrees.
Numa Seika fell asleep, and Su Xiao was never discovered by anyone.
Walking slowly to the door with a test tube of dirty-white liquid in his hands, Su Xiao poured the liquid into the crack under the door.
The liquid quickly evaporated upon contact with the floor and white smoke began to seep in.
Su Xiao took out a gas mask and put it on his face. Even he felt uneasy after inhaling some of that smoke.
After waiting for ten minutes at the door, Su Xiao pushed open the door and entered the stone house.
The hot air immediately enveloped him, and Numa Seika, the prince of the northern tribes, was still lying on the bed, but his body shook from time to time.
— How could it... happen? "he couldn't even speak clearly, let alone resist.
— Nothing is impossible.
The blade flashed in the air for a moment...
*Pouf!*
The Prince of the northern tribes is dead.
