Chapter 651: Going Round and Round, Using Force Is Still the Most Effective

Past eleven o'clock at night.

This was a time when the guards were just about to change shifts.

Although right now in the main camp, besides Fox's people, there was only a small portion of the commander-in-chief's direct guard.

But even against that small portion of the guard, Fox had to be on guard.

After all, no matter what, the other party was elite. If his side couldn't kill them in one blow and let the other party escape, then he would have no future to speak of.

After all, for the Exorcist race, being one rank higher in official position could truly crush people to death.

So Fox had to be careful.

"How is it?"

Waiting until eleven-thirty, Fox arrived in front of the Teleportation Array in the Adventurer City of Maple Leaf Mountain Forest and opened up Yasuda Naeko's authority.

Same as before, the current Yasuda Naeko was still wearing a decent set of women's clothing, making him look somewhat charming.

But regarding this pervert's attire, Fox's side showed no reaction, not even taking an extra glance.

After all, he couldn't be clearer on what kind of person the other party was.

Taking an extra glance was a blasphemy to himself.

"Right now, the commander-in-chief's guards' side is just preparing to change shifts. It's exactly the time for you to slip in."

Fox said as he walked forward.

After all, they were currently inside the Adventurer City, while the main camp was on a hilltop dozens of miles outside the city, so they had to hurry back quickly.

Although thirty minutes couldn't be called very abundant, it was still enough for them.

After all, speed was the foundation of foundations for them.

In the past, it was important for escaping for their lives; now, it was more for positioning during combat.

Of course, hurrying on a journey like now was also an unavoidable matter.

"Just you came alone this time?"

"Yes. More people would ruin things instead. Anyway, it's just an assassination. You and I have both done this kind of thing; there's no technical difficulty."

While hurrying forward together, the two of them communicated in passing.

Indeed, things like assassinations were truly too normal for their Rose Garden.

Or rather, at least a third of their business was this kind of work.

So to them, it was as simple as eating and drinking.

"But going round and round in a whole circle, thinking of every method and formulating plans, we eventually still returned to the path of assassination, Mr. Fox."

"Don't say that. It's also something I have no choice about. Who told that commander-in-chief to be in such a hurry to die."

Although being teased, Fox didn't blame the other party.

Or rather, he had actually also been troubled, and even angry, over this matter.

But plans failing to keep up with changes was a very common occurrence in real life.

So after understanding his own situation, what Fox immediately thought of was to use this backup plan that would only be used as an absolute last resort.

The reason why assassination was an 'absolute last resort' was primarily because it was too unnatural.

Especially under the circumstances where his own troops were guarding the commander-in-chief right now, no matter how he exonerated himself afterwards, the label of 'poor protection' definitely couldn't be escaped.

It could be said that this was the most damaging part.

With this label, in the subsequent era of brigade commanders, if he wanted to obtain more benefits, he would need to pay a greater price.

That was why it was a backup plan.

But under these circumstances now, he had to do so. So Fox, whose interests were damaged, was very hurt.

"Over there in front is the Tent where the commander-in-chief is. You have three minutes. After three minutes, I will directly use the Magic Disorder Device."

The two of them, having spent over twenty minutes to finally run to the main camp before the shift change, hid in a tree not far away.

"Three minutes? I understand."

Yasuda Naeko glanced at the main tent, as well as the surrounding environment and the number of guards, and nodded.

Subsequently, Yasuda Naeko's figure was seen slowly disappearing on the tree branch, ultimately turning into nothingness.

This was Yasuda Naeko's innate talent, an ability capable of making himself completely in a state of 'nothingness'.

That was why he could come and go freely in disaster-level natural phenomena like magic turbulence or Mana Tides.

Similarly, it was also a good hand when used for assassination.

After all, you cannot see things that are not there.

And over here, immediately after the other party left, Fox took out his card and sent a message to his trusted aides.

Regarding tonight's matter, although it was classified, it didn't mean Fox was going to act alone.

Or rather, there was no such thing as acting alone for this kind of matter.

Anyway, it was just activating the Magic Disorder Device. It fundamentally wasn't within the scope of violating the commander-in-chief's orders, so there was also no need to worry about receiving any punishment.

Therefore, the trusted aides naturally agreed.

After all, they all understood the principle of a rising tide lifting all boats.

If their brigade commander truly became the ruler of one region, or two or three regions, then these captains and squad leaders like them could naturally also follow along and get a share of the benefits.

After all, such a large place always needed manpower to manage.

Whether it was towns, villages, or resource points.

So no one opposed, and they were even itching for a try.

It could be said that after finishing the two matters of leading the way for Yasuda Naeko and letting his subordinates prepare, Fox basically just had to wait to reap the fruits of success.

After all, there was someone to do the remaining matters.

Thus, after putting down his card, Fox looked alone at the crescent moon in the sky.

Previously, he had chatted a lot with Yasuda Naeko and knew that the Demonic Humans' surprise attack on Double Moon Bay this time was primarily aimed at the Exorcists' high-level executives.

The reason was said to be because the Exorcists' behavior of turning Transmigrators into Quasi-Evolvers on such a large scale had touched upon the other party's interests, which was why they laid their murderous hands.

Of course, this was not important.

What was important was exactly what kind of poison the Demonic Humans used against the Exorcists that could cause tens of millions of people to mutate into undead within a few hours, and even took out the entire Exorcist upper echelon in passing.

Although he himself had not seen the Exorcist upper echelon, it was said that Clan Leader Li Mei was a member of that [Masquerade].

One must know that the intelligence he obtained while in Rose Garden showed that within the Gravel Syndicate, the threat level of [Masquerade] was actually greater than the organization [Tarot Manor].

The reason for this was because inside the Masquerade were basically lunatics who would make a move at the slightest disagreement.

So let's set aside everything else first.

Just the matter of the other party being a member of this organization was enough to explain that the other party had very strong strength.

Even so, they still fell for the trick, which could only mean that the Demonic Humans' skills were a notch higher.

But by the same logic, if the Demonic Humans wanted to deal with him, then using this method could also succeed.

He didn't want to just leave the tiger's den only to enter the wolf's lair.

So he had to think of a foolproof plan.

After all, although the Magic Disorder Device was a good thing, it couldn't defend against that kind of trick that made all members mutate into undead at once.

Of course, the most important thing was still that he didn't want to become that kind of undead manipulated by others.

During the day, he had also gone to the frontline to scout a bit and saw the appearance of those undead. The mindless activities like zombies made him shudder with fear.

But regarding exactly what to do, there still wasn't an effective method right now.

He needed to think carefully about it.

However, right during the interval of his thinking, the commander-in-chief's Tent under the tree suddenly exploded open.
