"Can you judge the other party's identity?"
Roths asked Melty, mainly because he wanted to know whether this group was from the empire or from the Grand Duke on the Border.
Although, he had basically had the answer in his mind.
"It should be people from the empire. A few people mentioned the matters from the empire while chatting." Before Melty waited for a long time, she heard the words she wanted about identity information, and used this
To make a judgment.
"It's true that it's the empire..." Roths was not surprised by this, it was similar to the result he expected.
The group of people in front of me were hiding in the dark and ambushing. If they were people who ruled the border lord forces of this city, they obviously didn't need to be so sneaky.
Only the people from the empire, who need to worry about the power of the Grand Duke on the border, will hide their actions.
"Can they all be dealt with without disturbing the garrison in the city?" Rotes asked.
"You can try it." Meltil was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
"It's really OK?" Roths just asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that Melty would give a positive answer.
"Yes." Melty nodded slightly, then looked at Rotes.
“Just do it now?”
"If you are really sure, it depends on you." Roths took a deep breath and asked, "Do we need support?"
"No need." Melty thought for a moment, and finally shook her head.
This simply rejection caused a blow to Rotes and the other two. But they also understood that in this current situation, what is needed is not large-scale group combat, but the ability to stealth assassinate as possible by as powerful as possible individual elites.
In this regard, the gap between them and Melti is too big. The results that Melti can achieve when acting alone are far more secure than if they help together.
However, loss is due to loss, Roths and the other two still trust Melty's ability, which stems from Melty's powerful performance that has turned the tide many times before.
Melty, who has performed amazingly many times so far, has gradually begun to develop a worshipful mentality towards her by Roths and others.
Roths and the others were irresistible, but they were a little ashamed of being a senior who admired a young junior who was less than 20 years old, but they were ashamed of being so young and so terrifying.
They have lived for decades but are not even half as strong as others.
Melty didn't care about the strange look of Rotes and others looking at her. After confirming that she needed to fight, she took out a crossbow she carried with her, pulled out the crossbow from the arrow bag and put it in silent voice.
He leaned against the walls of the alley and lurked towards the position of an enemy he perceived.
In order to avoid being discovered by these ambushes of the empire, Melti deliberately circled around and quietly approached the enemy with the help of some grass in the alley streets. Every step she took was not slow, but when she landed on the ground
Every step was completely silent, which was even quieter than a cat walking.
Naturally, the hidden men in the dark did not notice Melti's approaching at all, and they did not even realize that their whereabouts had been discovered by the enemy.
Until one moment, Melty lurked silently to a man hiding under the corner of the box, wearing a layer of burlap that was very close to the surrounding stone brick walls, and then suddenly accelerated a few steps and suddenly rushed.
Arrived next to this person.
The slight breaking wind caused by acceleration finally attracted the attention of this man. He just turned his head alertly and wanted to look in the direction of the sound when he suddenly saw a faint cold light in his sight.
Flashed by.
Puchi!
The sound of a sharp blade piercing into the flesh and blood sounded in the alley, but because the sound was too slight, it did not come too far, and it was limited to a distance of only ten steps.

Even if they were like this, let alone Roth, who was the oldest among them.
The knights didn't know how to speak, but Melty didn't care too much and said directly: "Those two people betrayed and had been killed by me for their ill-conspiracy against His Highness."
"What?!" Roths glared at Meltie in shock and looked at Meltie, but looking at Meltie's face that was always calm, he quickly calmed down again.
Taking a deep breath, Rotes lowered his voice and said slowly: "Don't mind telling me? What's going on?"
"I'll explain it." At this time, Prince Henry walked up and spoke with a cold face.
After spending a few minutes, Roths finally understood the whole story.
"I'm really sorry, Your Highness, I didn't expect that this kind of thing happened to my subordinates again. It was all caused by my dereliction of duty." Rots knelt down to Prince Henry without hesitation and expressed his apology.
Prince Henry was still a little gloomy because he remembered his previous experience of falling into danger, but at this moment, seeing Roths' sincere apology, most of his anger and dissatisfaction could not help but dissipate.
"Get up, Rothsch, you don't have to do this, I know, it's not your fault. Let it end here on this matter. There are more important things to do now, right?"
Prince Henry waved his hand and signaled that he would not pursue the matter again.
"Yes." Roths responded respectfully, then stood up.
"Fortunately, after several obscure investigations, we finally found the address of the stronghold, met the messenger of the allied kingdom, and successfully reached a preliminary unification intention with him. He was willing to
Help us contact the senior leaders of the allies at our higher level and let the top leaders of the allies conduct more specific consultations and negotiations with us on the cooperation plans between the two sides."
"Next, the Allied Congress sent special personnel to pick us up, and only needed to wait for about a day. Before that, the other party invited us to rest in the city and wait for the arrival of the receiving troops."
"In addition, I asked Doron to explore the stronghold mentioned by His Highness the Prince, and did make some discoveries. However, because I was afraid of attracting the attention of the Grand Duke forces on the border in the city, I did not go to investigate the stronghold in broad daylight.
, it was just a distance to confirm the authenticity of the address. We were preparing to wait until dark, and gather more people to explore the stronghold."
"Okay! Good job, Roths." Prince Henry couldn't help but feel happy.
"No further ado, Your Highness, it's almost dark. If you really wait until it's dark, the number of people entering and leaving the city gate will become much smaller than that during the day. If you wait until you enter the city at that time, it will become more conspicuous.
. ""
Roths looked up at the orange-red sunset that was gradually falling in the west and said, "It's just right now. Many people who go out to work choose to return to the city at this time. The frequency of people coming and going at the gate is very high.
If you get mixed in, it will be even less likely to attract attention.”
Rots pointed outside the camp and said, "Dorun and I have purchased the carriages and clothes that we need. Now we will park outside the camp. Next, just change your clothes and give the necessary tribute.
Just move onto the carriage.”
"Then do what you said." Prince Henry nodded, without any objection to this.
Just as Roths was about to summon the knights to start the action, Melty suddenly came to him and asked, "Are you sure that the so-called messengers of the Allies? And, the stronghold in the city,
Didn't you really find any problems?"
"What's wrong?" Roths was stunned and asked strangely.
"The two rebels before revealed a very important information." Melty's expression became solemn, and said, "The empire has discovered the strongholds arranged by the previous kings through some unknown means.
Part of it. I suspect...that stronghold in the frontier city may have been exposed."
"There is such a thing?" Roths was shocked.
"Yes, this was told by the two traitors just now when they threatened me. Melti should have heard it at that time." Prince Henry nodded and confirmed Melti's words.
"If this is the case, it's really possible." Rotes's face also became solemn.
After all, the Empire had long predicted their course of action, and according to common sense, when it was known in advance that the kings of the Kingdom had arranged such strongholds, Prince Henry led to the frontier city, and the existing information of the empire's senior management.
Naturally, they would also doubt that there is something more important to Prince Henry in the frontier city, and then they would also think of the speculations such as the strongholds left by the previous kings of Country A in the frontier city.
Although he was prepared for Melty's words, Rotes did not intend to cancel the action plan.
There may be problems with the strongholds in the Frontier City, but it is also very likely that there is no problem. It is really not worth giving up a stronghold just because of an unconfirmed conjecture.
So in the end, Rothus planned to lead people to really investigate the situation of the stronghold after dark.
The group was easy to clean up and changed their clothes, but not all the staff were equipped to leave the camp and go to the city.
After all, their armor, weapons and horses must be kept, so as to avoid unnecessary attention due to their different identities. Therefore, some people must stay and take care of these.
Soon, Rottes screened the candidates for members who needed to enter the city with him.
