"Master, Madam Nora has crossed the border and I have lost sight of her." Lelith whispered beside Reiner.
Reiner intends to support Muir as the puppet king of Barnet, and to accomplish this he needs to help clean up Muir's competitors and some nobles with whom he has bad relations.
This mission needs to be carried out in secret, and Nora, who has the ability to become invisible and ethereal, is the best candidate.
At this moment, they were with their army building traps in the forest thirty miles east of Morwyn.
Now that Barnett's five legions are about to arrive at the border, Peggy proposes to build large-scale traps along their marching route to slow down their marching speed in exchange for more time for strategic deployment.
Reiner looked at Paige who was commanding the troops, a little absent-minded.
After being with Nora for so long, this was her first time acting alone. She was worried about whether she would encounter any danger...
Lelith saw what Reiner was thinking and came up behind him to help rub his shoulders. Then she gently comforted him, "Don't worry, Master. Madam Nora will be fine. Even if the enemy knows her abilities well, they will definitely not be able to target her.
Because from the moment she crossed the border, she used two abilities at the same time.
Even though I have extremely strong perception abilities, I couldn't detect her existence through magic. It was as if a living person had disappeared from this world out of thin air.
So far, the only threat to Madam Nora is mind-control magic, but her mental resistance is not weak at all. If she wishes, she can lurk in Barnet like a ghost until the end of her life."
Reiner took a deep breath and said softly, "I hope so."
Lelith leaned close to Reiner's ear and whispered teasingly, "I really envy Madam Nora. She has such powerful abilities and yet she still gets her master's care. I envy her..."
Reiner reached out and grabbed Lelith's horns, pulling hard. "That's normal. If it was you who went there, I would be worried too."
Lailisi laughed twice, glanced away, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
She broke free from Reiner's restraints, put her hands behind her back, and walked from the left to the right, saying meaningfully: "Oh my, it seems that I am even worse than Martina. The master's words can make my heart beat wildly."
Reiner knocked her head. "You're secretly slandering the prisoner again."
After being tormented by Lalith like this, although the worry is still there, the anxiety is not as severe as before.
Reiner made up his mind that after Nora came back, he would never let her leave his side unless there was no other way.
He shook his head and sighed, ending the topic and asking Lelith, "Have you figured out what's so special about Barnet's special army?"
"Now we understand. They're a special shadow army, trained by King Barnet himself. They specialize in disguise, infiltration, and assassination. They're used to execute beheadings on rebellious local lords. They're not large, only about three or four hundred people in total.
Although the battlefield commanded by Peggy before did not severely damage the legion, a small number of people still managed to escape.
King Barnett knows we have a powerful demihuman commander here, and he might try to assassinate Peggy."
Special...special forces?
"Is there a more specific list of personnel and their specific mission instructions?" Reiner asked doubtfully.
Lelith shook her head: "There are no more specific names of the personnel. They have been trained since childhood and call each other by code names. King Barnet is the only one who handles them. He is the only one who knows their specific identities.
I don't know where they are going, but they may have already followed the civilians out of the capital and infiltrated towards us."
Reiner broke out in a cold sweat and instantly had a bad idea.
Junice, Aliana and Daisy are in the primitive forest south of Cannon, so there is no need to worry about the three of them for the time being.
