Hearing those words from Eldrin, Victor felt a strange uneasiness stirring inside him.

He frowned and asked, “But… why would they allow Crimson Talon to make the situation this bad?” His tone was full of doubt, his expression tense with confusion.

Eldrin turned to Victor, noticing the concern in the young prince’s eyes. In a steady voice, he replied, “Actually, Your Highness… when they were exiled by the empire, most of them accepted their fate. Some even blended in with the city, helped build it, and became part of the community.” His voice was calm, yet serious.

Victor furrowed his brow. “Then how could they do something like this? A trap—so openly?” His confusion deepened.

He took out several worn documents, records gathered by Anna and Edeline from their observation and analysis, and handed them to Eldrin.

After receiving the documents, Eldrin read through them quickly. His eyes scanned each line, disbelief growing in them.

When he finished, he looked up at Victor, his expression

Archer, prepare counterattack!!” ordered Lucas in a loud tone, his eyes still focused forward, waiting for the right moment to block the arrows flying toward him.“Begin!! Block!

    Victor immediately spoke through his communicator, “Prepare…!!”“Yes!! (YES~~!)” everyone answered in unison, each gripping their weapons tightly, their alertness spreading in all directions—especially toward the line of Crimson Talon members. Only Reina remained calm, maintaining her role as a noble princess positioned at the center of the formation, as if being protected.After ensuring his weapon was ready, Victor stared intently at the Crimson Talon line.“Strange… there’s no movement…” Victor whispered, his eyes scanning every gap in the enemy formation.A few seconds passed.“No… behind their formation. [Sharp Vision],” Victor murmured, his gaze sharpening as he shifted his focus to the very back of Crimson Talon’s ranks.After spotting the Crimson Talon members hiding within the shadows and drawing their bows, Victor was shocked. Without wasting time, he immediately spoke into his communicator,“LYANNA!! Twenty archers, behind their formation…!! Stop their arrows!!” he ordered

    When they finally arrived in front of that checkpoint—“Hey, you! Stop!” shouted one of the guards from the group in the front, stepping forward halfway, clearly trying to stop them.Reina glared sharply while slightly pulling her horse’s reins.“What is it?” she asked with a slightly raised tone. Her posture was firm, and she intentionally displayed the noble crest pinned to the chest of her armor—a subtle warning of her status.While Reina confronted the guard, Victor observed the entire checkpoint formation from atop his mechanical horse. His gaze swept across each group carefully.One hundred people… he muttered in his heart. Ten people for each group in the front line.He looked at the first group.Group one… seems to be just a bunch of new adventurers hired specifically for this job.Then he shifted his gaze to the second and third groups.Group two wears silver armor like royal knights… but their equipment is too simple. This is more like standard adventurer gear. So they are n

    East Gate of HandelsfurtAfter leaving through the east gate, Victor and the others moved forward slowly with their mechanical horses, leaving the city with flat expressions.“Are the Crimson Talon Guild really part of the Adventurer Guild? Why do they look more like bandits?” asked Victor while staring into the distance, toward someone riding a horse at high speed in the crowd outside the gate, moving away from the city.Hearing Victor’s question, the others only nodded with slightly annoyed expressions, still staring at that figure.“I didn’t expect it either… a guild like that could become the dominant guild in this city,” said Reina, recalling the moment when they had just passed through the city gate.At that time, one of the Crimson Talon members gave a signal toward his comrade outside the city. As soon as that person saw the signal, he turned toward them, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, like someone who had long been waiting for his prey. Truly just like a bandit

  • Chapter 80 – The Crimson Talon’s Dark Council

    POV Deputy Guild Leader of Crimson TalonInside the underground city that has been completely taken over by our Guild, I walked with the anger I had been holding back for the past few weeks, mixed with the uneasiness that continued to haunt me.“Damn it… ever since that intruder appeared… everything has fallen apart… how could this even happen…” I muttered, recalling the events that took place after I managed to thwart that intruder’s attempt to enter the Guild Leader’s house.With my mind in chaos like this, I only returned every gaze with a short nod. They bowed their heads, giving a salute by tapping their chests with their clenched fists, the typical greeting of a knight.“Idiots… you were sent here, which means you’re no longer knights… and yet you still do that…” I muttered, shaking my head as I continued walking toward my destination.A few minutes later,when I reached the room I was heading to and was about to knock on the door,‘YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!…’‘That’s how it

    Tuk tuk tuk tuk…The sound of mechanical horse hooves echoed on the dry road, slowly heading toward the city.In that quiet moment, Lyanna suddenly broke the silence.“Hah… how could I fail to shoot them… DAMN IT!!!” she shouted in frustration, raising her hands to the sky, recalling the incident.Hearing her complaint, the other four people riding mechanical horses with her could only sigh helplessly.“Isn’t that your own fault? Why didn’t you act more carefully during the mission? Besides, it already happened,” Victor replied with an annoyed face, looking at Lyanna, who indeed caused the problem.Lyanna lowered her head slightly, looking gloomy and filled with guilt.“I really didn’t know that they were also there… especially since they were so skilled at evading and defending,” she said quietly.Seeing Lyanna still looking down, Victor let out a long sigh.“Whatever… the important thing is, this gives us a chance to continue the plan that was previously impossible to do,” he said s
