Chapter 191: A Banquet Called for Bribery, Actually a Trap
Seeing the two men promising their cooperation but looking murderous, Natacha couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She understood too well what these talented newcomers who had just joined the revolutionary army were thinking.

"These newcomers have ideals in their hearts. They want to be like the heroes in stories and legends, preaching justice and leaving in style after killing their targets.

"But the Revolutionary Army's monthly reports all point to one fact: the survival rate of new Revolutionary Army recruits on their first mission is extremely low.

"Most people who oversimplify the enemy and the mission will die on their first mission."

This assassin named Fang Yi, who came from the [Oberg Assassination Society], is obviously a very talented young man with strong strength.

But in Natasha's eyes, Fang Yi still lacks some experience in carrying out assassination missions.

Therefore, it would be better for me to say a few more words to prevent this talented young man from failing in his first mission.

She glanced towards the imperial capital and recalled some negative examples of revolutionary assassins who had failed in their missions.

I began to supplement my understanding of the minister's close relatives and make some speculations about this mission.

Natacha spread her hands towards Fang Yi and the others and began to explain her analysis of this mission.

"What you must be thinking is, wouldn't it be better to just kill the other party along the way?

"I understand your thoughts, but I just hope that you can complete your mission of gathering intelligence tonight and come back alive.

“I don’t think you can come back unscathed after killing each other tonight.

"In my opinion, if we want to kill the enemy at the lowest cost, the best plan is to wait for our long-range attack users to return."
-
The leader of the [Night Raid] made a cross sign with her hands, as if recalling the scene she saw in the imperial capital.

"Countless revolutionary assassins who disobeyed orders and commands and were eager to kill their targets have been killed and their bodies hung on crosses in the imperial capital.

"As you pass through the civilian area, you'll see masterpieces of the Empire used to warn the 'rebels' and the people at intervals.

"Revolutionary Army spies, foreign assassins, innocent civilians, ministers' political enemies
"Anyone who fails to escape the Empire's violent apparatus or the minister's minions will be tortured to death and then crucified."

Natasha's expression grew serious as she expressed her suspicions about the close relative of the minister named Iokal hosting the banquet in the wealthy district.

"Based on the intelligence gathered by our Revolutionary Army's spies in the Imperial Capital, this banquet is likely a 'trap'.

"This target, Iokal, previously stayed in his own mansion, waiting for others to come and offer bribes.

"He suddenly went to the wealthy area and held a banquet with great fanfare, inviting quite a few guests, and he also released the news several days in advance. This was largely to lure you into killing him.

"This banquet, though relaxed on the outside, is actually quite tense. There must be someone strong enough, like the Four Rakshasa Demons, or an Imperial Weapon User, to act as a 'safety net' to ensure the other party's safety and kill any incoming assassins."

Listening to Natasha's advice, Fang Yi smiled gently and nodded to indicate that he understood the key to the mission and knew how powerful the enemy was.

Chi Tong beside him obviously wanted to say something, but soon after Fang Yi's eyes signaled, he made a gesture of "obedient" and "obedient to advice".

Seeing that the two had listened to her advice, Natacha finally felt relieved. The serious expression disappeared from her face, and a slight smile appeared on her face instead.

"That's good. Newcomers on their first mission are bound to make some mistakes due to lack of experience.

"Akagiri, please take care of the newcomers."

The female assassin nodded, indicating that she understood what Natasha meant, and the two of them watched the leader of the [Night Raid] go away.

Then the two smiled at each other, obviously neither of them changing their intention to kill the target.
-
Fang Yi was thinking about Kohler, the successor of the [Tomb Guardian] that Natacha had just mentioned, and wondering if this was the black man he met in the main god space who sold him information.

[Okay, everyone's identities for this mission seem quite extraordinary.]

[It cannot be simply divided into the Empire side and the Revolutionary Army side. Basically, you can try to switch sides to gain benefits.]

[I am an Imperial spy and also a Revolutionary Army assassin. This black man appears to be a member of the Imperial Incineration Corps and also serves as an insider for the Revolutionary Army within the Imperial Army.]

Fang Yi seemed to have grasped some of the key elements for the reincarnationists to gain benefits from this mission and to negotiate cooperation.

But he also did not forget that Natacha mentioned the powerful body-building expert whose strength was enough to rival Esdeath.

Fang Yi had a premonition that this reincarnationist might have some interesting stories with him.

However, the most important thing at the moment is obviously to take the female assassin beside him to kill people, further improve the friendship through joint combat, and try to win her over to his own organization.

At the same time, after killing 'Ghost Ouka', you can further improve Disma's friendship and make him trust you more.

Afterwards, he took advantage of the other party's guilty conscience. As long as Fang Yi proposed to him to join the Shinsengumi at the right time, he believed that the other party would definitely not refuse further cooperation.

He will then be able to gain the support of a powerful teammate to deal with the pursuit of unknown enemies.

Based on Fang Yi's understanding of the reincarnation space, the talent unlocked by this bandit during the difficult mission in the Iron Fortress must be quite good.

At the same time, in Fang Yi's perception, the dagger and flintlock rifle on the opponent's waist, which had become strange objects, were indicating that this bandit would be a good combat force in this mission.

Fang Yi never has too many useful, trustworthy teammates with good personalities.

He brought his thoughts back to normal, looked at the female assassin beside him, and began to tell her his plan.
-
A mansion in the wealthy area of ​​the imperial capital.

Iokar, a close relative of the minister, was a little uneasy and reconfirmed the banquet details with his guards. "Have all the high-rise buildings outside the banquet venue been cleared?
“All houses higher than two stories around the banquet must be cleared to prevent the enemy from long-range sniping attacks on me.

"Add more guards to patrol the area surrounding the banquet venue. They must communicate regularly via secret codes to prevent the revolutionary army assassins from easily sneaking in.

"Has the Horse-Headed Master, one of the Four Rakshasa Ghosts, arrived?"

After seeing the guard shook his head, then nodded and gave the answer he didn't want to hear.

Iokal said, a little angrily, patting the armrest of his chair.

"If that [Horse Head] master doesn't show up, I won't feel at ease.

"Even with the protection of the two Imperial Equipment Users outside, I think it would be unwise to leave this mansion and go to the banquet venue."

"A woman with a puppy who talks about justice, and a pirate from a small town with a cutlass.

"I don't think these two people can complete the task assigned to me by Lord [Sira] or even the minister."

As Iokal was speaking, he changed his attitude when he saw [Seleu Euphigitas] and [Flame Heart] coming up with [Horse Head].

"Master Ma Tou, you are finally here. I didn't expect that after I mentioned it to Master Goziqi, he would actually be willing to send you.

"I, Iokar, will always remember Lord Gozchi's kindness.

"After the mission, I have a small gift for you to accept and pass on to your father.

"Master Matou, why are you standing here? Come sit down and have a cup of tea."

Iokal first made a rapport with the daughter of Gozizi, the newest of the Four Rakshasa Ghosts, a girl with wheat-colored skin and a strong body.

After seeing this young but powerful Rakshasa ghost who was dressed very revealingly, they chose to sit down without saying a word.

Only then did Iokal breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that he had already secured victory in this mission.

[With the help of the Four Rakshasa Ghosts, and the mobilization of a considerable number of manpower, this banquet, disguised as a bribery extortion scheme but actually a trap, is already a dead end.]

[Unless the enemy can fly, if they step into the banquet hall, their only fate is death.]
-
After he relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned to build relationships with the two [Imperial Tool Users].

"This must be the maritime talent that Lord Sheela brought from the Western Country, right?
“He’s really extraordinary in appearance and strength.

"I heard that you, Mr. Yanxin, are interested in women, so I have prepared some delicious 'little gifts' for you in the lounge.

"I hope this will help you perform better at the banquet."

Yan Xin's eyes lit up. This pirate, whose hairstyle was weird like a conical hat and who had a sadistic taste for women, showed his skills to the minister's close relative.

He threw an apple in his right hand and swung the scimitar-shaped [Imperial Weapon] [Wind Blade Sword] in his hand.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Yan Xin swung the scimitar a few times in the air at the apple that had reached its highest point, then sheathed the knife.

Only after the apple shattered into pieces along the neat cuts as it fell did the pirate explain the purpose of his [Imperial Tool].

"I can use the imperial weapon in my hand to create a vacuum blade that is difficult for the enemy to detect.

“It would be difficult to detect unless you are an extremely powerful warrior, an assassin with keen perception, or a strong person like Lord Horse Head.

"As long as I'm here, those rebels from the revolutionary army will never return!
"But I hope there will be more women in the lounge before we go into battle, preferably the kind that we won't feel bad about disappearing."

Iokal waved his hand at the maid beside him and laughed heartily.

"Don't worry about playing, if you break it, it's my fault.

"Hurry up and prepare more women for Lord Yanxin!"

After Flameheart expressed satisfaction, Iokal turned his attention to Seleu Euphikitas, who was holding the puppy.

"This must be Miss Seryuu Euphikitas, a member of the Imperial Capital Guard. She is truly powerful and capable. She must be the righteous one who strikes fear in the hearts of evil.

"Tonight, some people who are called revolutionaries but are actually rebels are showing up at this banquet.

"As long as Miss Sailu makes a contribution, I will ask the Empire to commend you and your master Ouka and award you a medal of honor.

"With the minister here, I believe this won't be a difficult task."

Seleu immediately put down the puppy-like creature [Imperial Tool] [Hundred-Armed Titan] in his hand, stood upright and saluted Iokar.

“Thank you and the Minister for your generosity.

“The thieves will be completely wiped out.

"Because justice will prevail!"

Looking at the two [Imperial Weapon Users] and one of the Four Rakshasa Demons in front of him, Iokal felt that he was safe tonight.
