Infinite Anime Strategy Guide

Barbara had told her to rest before the battle began, but how could she let her two companions risk their lives to carry out the mission while she went to rest alone?

Chelsea originally planned to use her transformation ability to infiltrate the hotel and carry out an assassination, but no matter how clever she was, she did not expect that transforming into Guy would cause unexpected trouble.

She was kidnapped by a group of people.

The people who arrested her weren't from the Empire, and it wasn't for any complicated reason. It was simply because the Guy she was disguised as had skipped out on overtime when she went to the red-light district last night!

That's right, it was for such a ridiculous reason that Chelsea, who had no fighting ability whatsoever, was captured by a group of thugs from the red-light district, and they suffered quite a bit before finding a chance to escape.

However, by the time she escaped the red-light district, it was too late. At the hotel entrance, she saw the group of people who were supposed to be Barbara's assassination targets returning to the hotel together. After Barbara's death, they no longer needed to hide.

Clinging to the last shred of hope, Chelsea ran with all her might into the mountains. Despite having the worst stamina, she continued to move forward with difficulty, even as she was about to run out of breath.

Unfortunately, when she arrived, she only saw Miaozi kneeling in front of a large pit. The two of them sat there speechless, staring blankly at the pit in front of them.

clatter……

After kneeling for an unknown amount of time, Miao Zi stood up without saying a word, turned around, and walked down the mountain.

Snapped!

A hand grabbed her.

Where do you want to go?

The flat, emotionless voice came from Chelsea, who was usually the most emotional of all.

"A hotel," Taeko replied simply.

"and then?"

"And then... take revenge!"

Miaozi's voice was filled with deep-seated hatred. Barbara was more than just an instructor to her; Barbara had raised her since she was a child, and their relationship was more like that of a mother and daughter than that of a teacher and student!

Do you think you have a chance of winning?

Chelsea and Myoko looked at each other, their eyes meeting, and both could feel the sadness in their eyes.

"Even if there's no chance of winning, we have to go!"

Taeko shouted these words. This was the first time the usually gentle girl had spoken so forcefully. Tears streamed down her face. Chelsea silently hugged Taeko, who was half a head taller than her, and the two girls held each other tightly.

The feeling of losing a loved one is truly painful.

What should we do?

After crying, Taeko's voice sounded helpless. She had never been separated from Barbara, and Barbara's death left her feeling lost.

"Let's go back, back to Oberg!"

Compared to the seemingly mature Taeko, Chelsea was much stronger, wiping away her tears and burying her sadness deep in her heart.

"We are no match for them, so we must go back!"

Chelsea's voice was firm and unequivocal.

"In this situation, the only option is for Lord Merard to personally intervene!"

Miao Zi paused for a moment, then nodded, thinking about what that name represented.

"If it's Lord Merad, he will definitely avenge the instructor!"

The two girls took one last look at the large crater in front of them, then turned and left. Their next meeting would be for revenge…

"Since no one has taken the bait for so long, it seems no one will attack."

Two weeks after their last encounter, Gozci brought everyone together.

"But there's also good news: our new mission has finally arrived!"

When Gozchi mentioned the new mission, Lin Yu frowned. For some reason, he felt that this operation might encounter unexpected situations.

"This time we need to go to a place called 'Putra,' which is already overseas."

"Putra is a barren land dominated by rocks. Although it has a long history, it is unsuitable for agriculture. Even with hard work, it yields no harvest. However, beneath Putra lies the enormous tomb of an ancient king. It is said that the people there deeply worship that great king, and even now they still offer him gold and silver treasures."

"It's amazing that the tomb hasn't been robbed!" Tomb robbers aren't unique to any one world. When the benefits outweigh the risks, opportunists will inevitably take advantage of the situation.

“There are tomb guardians!” Gozchi’s expression was somewhat strange. After a slight pause, he continued, “The people who guard the royal tomb use strange spells. Recently, there have been rumors that the gold and silver treasures offered to that royal tomb were mostly stolen from the Empire, including the Imperial Arms whose whereabouts are unknown.”

"The tribute they could raise on their own was limited, and I didn't think they had that much money. So the empire immediately sent an investigator to investigate, but he was brutally murdered. The tomb keeper left a message telling people not to approach the tomb, and a few weeks later, he also murdered the investigator's family in the same way."

"—Right in the capital!"

Gozchi's account sounded flawless, but Lin Yu didn't believe a single punctuation mark. No one knew the state of the Empire better than him. Not only did he have memories of the original plot, but he also had information from the intelligence network he had built after arriving in this world, which convinced him of this fact. Gozchi's vivid description was probably just to get everyone to risk their lives for the Empire.

As for the truth, Lin Yu was unsure, but it was definitely not as Gozchi said, because there was a fatal flaw in his words. This flaw was something that Akame and the others couldn't hear, and even Kurohime couldn't hear it, but to Lin Yu it was a joke.

That is--

Would this already corrupt empire really send investigators to investigate the looting of its people's property by the gravediggers?!

Lin Yu didn't even need to think to give a definite answer. If such a thing really happened, the local governor would report the situation, but in the end, it would definitely be downplayed and forgotten. Unless a major event like a foreign invasion occurred, the empire would simply ignore it!

"They stole our treasures and now they won't let us near the tomb? That's going too far!"

Through his narration, Gozchi perfectly instilled hatred for the Gravekeepers in everyone except Lin Yu. Although they were all assassins who walked in the shadows, the ideals they had been instilled in them were particularly noble, because all their actions were for the sake of the Empire!

"You are to go to Putra to defeat those tomb guardians and reclaim all the treasure. This mission can also save the financially troubled empire. It's a great task!"

If Lin Yu was only somewhat suspicious at first, after hearing the last sentence, he was completely certain that Gozchi's words were all lies!

Is the empire facing financial difficulties?

Stop joking!

The harsh taxes have made it difficult for ordinary people in the empire to even survive, but financially it is the wealthiest era in the empire's history.

Because this corrupt regime has gathered the vast majority of the empire's wealth into one place!

"Speaking of which, this wasn't originally our mission. Another assassination team has already gone there. Oh, right, if Black Eyes hadn't been taken away by Lord Lin Yu, she should be in that unit now."

Black Eyes blinked when Gozchi mentioned her. She was too young back then and had forgotten most of it. She didn't have a deep impression of that unit, only that it seemed to be a special unit that used drugs to enhance its strength.

"Luckily, I met my brother."

Thinking this, Hei Tong gave Lin Yu a big smile, and the latter affectionately patted the little girl's head.

"Putra, I really don't know what's there that makes me so uneasy..."

254. Unexplained headache [Two-in-one]

"Of the assassins I trained, 18 have been confirmed dead, and 7 are still missing. I don't know if they are dead or captured. In the past, there were always some casualties in missions, but those were losses that were taken into account."

At the base of an assassination squad, Bill, the squad's top leader, met with Gozchi. Their meeting was also held near Putra.

"We have indeed failed in this incident. Not only did we achieve nothing, but we also lost a piece for nothing."

Bill's face contorted in a grimace. He had suffered such a heavy loss this time that he had no choice but to swallow his pride.

"So that's why you couldn't take it anymore and came to me?"

Gozich knew his boss's personality very well; he would never ask for help from his subordinate unless the matter was extremely important and he had no other options.

"Thank you for coming so quickly. To be honest, I don't want to give you such a big credit, but I don't have time to worry about that now. I hope you can help me."

Although Bill is fond of taking credit, he is by no means stupid. If he does this job well, it will be a great achievement, but if he messes it up, the consequences will be beyond his ability to bear. Therefore, cooperation is necessary.

"Not knowing the enemy's true strength can indeed lead to enormous sacrifices, but even so, the higher-ups still..."

Gozchi had a very clear understanding of this empire, but even so, he still felt a little disheartened. After all, he was not a high-ranking official in this country. Even Lin Yu, who did not have a specific military rank and was only Esdeath's nominal adjutant, could be ranked one level above him, which showed that his status was not high.

"Yes, they're demanding we continue. No matter what, those guys won't give up now. The higher-ups have sent reinforcements. If we can get there in time, we'll be very grateful."

"Reinforcements?"

Lin Yu's voice rang out beside the two of them. It wasn't that they didn't notice Lin Yu coming in, but they simply didn't choose to hide it.

"Yes, and they're super-powerful reinforcements!"

Bill looked at Lin Yu with a rather amused smile. Lin Yu had no time to chat with someone like Bill.

"Tell me what you know. This operation is probably not as simple as you think!"

Lin Yu was certain that the Putra, where his target was located, definitely concealed a huge threat that even he had to be wary of, and with his current strength, this tomb was very likely hiding his nemesis!

——Agent!

"The king's tomb is some distance from Putra city. There are guards in the city, but it is said that even they cannot usually get close to the tomb."

After leaving Bill's stronghold, Lin Yu and Gozchi settled everyone down near Putra and explained the situation.

"So, does that mean we can get the treasure back as long as we defeat the tomb guardian?"

Nahashu was clearly only concerned with completing the mission; everything else was irrelevant.

"It seems that ordinary people won't be involved!"

Unlike Nahashu, these children, who were raised as assassins, are actually quite righteous in some ways because they were instilled from a young age with the idea that they were fighting for the happiness of the people. Tsukushi even cares about whether innocent people will be affected.

However, all of this is based on the premise that it does not affect the mission. The minds of these children raised by the Empire have long been twisted. If it is to complete the mission, even the seemingly most innocent Tsukushi can point his gun at innocent civilians without hesitation!

"The feeling here..."

As Lin Yu got closer to Putra, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He wondered if it was the ability Gaia had given him that allowed him to sense the presence of 'kindred spirits' ahead, but at the same time, he could also feel that what he had been searching for was right in front of him!

These two contradictory feelings kept clashing in Lin Yu's mind, but neither could gain the upper hand. One voice urged him to leave quickly, while the other called out to him, saying that as long as he could keep moving forward, he would eventually succeed in what he was pursuing!

"The other assassination squads are also focused on gathering intelligence. We'll take action after we've learned more about the enemy situation."

"Green, your 'Rattlesnake' is more suitable for capture. You and Nahashu go and capture two enemies!"

The Putra Empire was ultimately too far away to effectively intervene, and its overall strength was still at a disadvantage. Therefore, Gozchi's plan was somewhat conservative. However, upon hearing this, Lin Yu suddenly stood up, and faint blood vessels could be seen in his eyes.

"Continuing to discuss this here won't get us anywhere."

Lin Yu's voice became very strange. Goziqi frowned slightly. He had felt that something was wrong with Lin Yu earlier, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Lord Lin Yu..."

Cornelia looked at Lin Yu, who seemed a little off, with some concern. Although it was Tina who saved her, Tina's public identity was always Lin Yu's Imperial Arms, so Cornelia naturally attributed this favor to Lin Yu as well, and it was understandable that she was worried.

"This time I'm not going to stand by and watch any longer. With me joining in, how about we force our way into the tomb right now?"

Although Lin Yu's words were in the form of a question, the way he looked at Gozchi didn't seem to suggest any room for negotiation.

"Oh? So Lord Lin Yu is finally going to make a move? But isn't it a bit too much to set off so soon..."
