Cute insect master, join the chat group!

"I can teach you."

Inès sensed the danger.

If her shadow's head was bitten off -

Maybe she will really lose her head.

Where did this monster come from?

The female mercenary thought.

The shadows of the Sarkaz mercenaries quickly returned to normal.

Zeg has just developed a technique for using psychic powers to harm his true self by using his shadow.

"A wise choice, Inès. Also, there should be some of you who haven't come yet, right?"

W pets the Baneling's head.

"Send those people over. I need a complete mercenary group."

Her smile was full of malice.

The battlefield scavengers have been keeping an eye on these Sarkaz mercenaries.

Especially this one called Inès.

The other party is a well-known figure in the Scar Market—

Her head is very valuable.

Some simple intelligence was also marked on the reward order.

For example, her Originium skills are related to shadows.

Although W had just walked far away, she still noticed the movement of the shadow.

"..."

Inès looked at the Sarkaz girl, and then at the little child.

Intimidated by Zeg's intimidation, she had to nod.

…………

"It looks like Inès and Hedley are finished."

In the safe house, a pink-haired girl was pacing.

She could guess which force had issued the mission this time.

The rewards are great, but the risks are also high.

In the last communication, Inès reported the losses from the initial exploration.

Some of the Sarkaz mercenaries were directly transformed into zombies.

The team gained nothing.

The last time we communicated -

Hedley asked her to prepare to receive the team.

There has been no response so far.

Not surprisingly—

Those two guys are screwed.

This mission is too complicated.

She absolutely cannot control it by herself.

"Ursula."

The communication was reconnected at this moment.

"Ines, I thought you and Hedley were finished."

Ursula paused.

She is ready for everything.

Once you take on some tasks, there is no way out.

That's the mission this time.

"The pick-up mission is cancelled. Leave the safe house and head to our camp."

Ursula heard the order.

"..."

She narrowed her eyes slightly.

The girl smelled something wrong.

"No problem, I will pray for you and Hedley."

Then--

Ursula hung up the call without hesitation.

"It looks like Inès is really finished."

This was not an order she would give.

The girl said to herself.

“There is no way out.”

Ursula sighed.

The Regent's messenger found her earlier and issued her a new commission -

And said the Regent was willing to give her team one last chance.

The girl had no choice but to accept it.

After all, the Regent's messenger was wearing a skull mask.

"Assassinating Her Highness Theresa... that's crazy. How can we do it with so few people?"

Her expression seemed uncertain.

Or should I seek refuge with Ines?

Ines thought she was caught, so she decided to surrender as well.

After all, assassinating Theresa is an impossible task no matter how you think about it.

The Regent must have chosen to use her troops as cannon fodder to cover the real assassination.

"Ursula, what should we do?"

The Sarkaz mercenaries under her command are all waiting for her orders.

"I'm afraid Inès and Hedley have been caught."

Ursula paused.

"The Regent asked us to assassinate Her Highness Theresa."

“This is a mission that will lead to certain death.”

The girl said so.

"..."

The Sarkaz in the safe house looked at each other.

Assassinate Theresa?

Just relying on these few people?

Their role is definitely to be cannon fodder to cover the real assassination.

The Sarkaz present were all veteran mercenaries.

Inès and Hedley thought they were captured by an unknown force.

"The best option... may be to seek refuge with Her Highness Theresa."

The regent's mission was a death sentence.

But Ursula thought that she could use this opportunity to surrender to Her Highness Theresa.

She still likes the princess very much.

After all, Theresa is the Demon King of Sarkaz and one of the six heroes of Sarkaz.

Although her ideology is moderate, the current situation of the civil war in Kazdel is that the princess has a slight advantage.

Apparently, Her Highness Theresa also has a strong hand in promoting her moderate ideas.

Just vote this time.

Previously, Inès and Hedley had always been against joining any faction.

Now they are both finished.

She undoubtedly took over the command of the team.

Ursula made her decision.

"Pack up the supplies, we will prepare according to the information in the commission."

The pink-haired girl ordered.

"Ursula, didn't you say you wanted to seek refuge with Her Highness Theresa?"

"Let's prepare according to the information in the commission. Are you going to assassinate that prince?"

A mercenary raised a question.

"Do you know the location of Her Highness Theresa?"

Ursula snorted.

"We can only believe that the information given by the Regent is credible."

The Regent might not notice her small team, but as long as Tracys pays a little attention to them——

She and her team were doomed.

So at least we have to carry out the Regent's instructions on the surface.

time does not wait.

"boom!"

Then--

The door of the safe house was blown open.

…………

Volume 4: Chapter Assimilation Completed (K)

"Enemy attack!"

As a battle-hardened Sarkaz mercenary, Ursula reacted immediately.

"Oh my, it looks like my skills are not outdated."

A frivolous but malicious voice sounded.

"Fire!"

The pink-haired Sarkaz ignored the attacker's words.

She simply grimly ordered her men to fire.

Then--

Úrsula saw that the morning and evening were separated.

The white-horned Sarkaz drew his sword and destroyed all the incoming crossbow arrows.
