In another part of the city, the headquarters of the Imperial Guards.
Gustav Troy, captain of the imperial guard and ninth-tier knight, frowned while the imperial guard prepared himself for a mission.
Not long ago, he had received an order to stop the inter-gang fighting that was taking place in the Blue Wing Society Gang territory. According to the information he had obtained, they were fighting against the Red Skull Gang.
Normally, the Imperial Guards did not interfere with gang fights. In fact, recently, when the Blood Night Gang was destroyed, the Imperial Guards did not move.
But this time it's different.
As the leader of the Imperial Guards, Gustav was aware that the Blue Winged Society Gang was somehow related to the imperial family. He didn't know exactly how the relationship was, but he knew he couldn't let them be annihilated.
So, as soon as he received the order, he started moving his men.
However, not long after, he received more news. "Are you saying that the Blue Wing Community Gang is not the only gang that was attacked?"
"Yes. The Red Skull Gang also attacked the other two gangs.”
"Are they crazy?" Gustav could not help but exclaim. "Where did they get that guts?"
"Captain, should we send people there as well?"
Gustav thought for a few seconds before shaking his head. "No. Our orders are only to help the Blue Wing Community Gang. The rest is no problem.”
"understood. People are ready to go, Kap.”
“Then move! We don't have time to lose!”
With Gustav's orders, the Imperial Guards began to move.
They advanced swiftly towards the headquarters of the Blue Wing Society Gang. Over three hundred Imperial Guards, with the weakest being third-tier warriors, advanced while emitting killing intent.
The scene was extremely frightening, and the Imperial Guards seemed to be invincible. In fact, neither Gustav nor his men felt they would lose.
But five minutes after they left, Gustav suddenly stopped.
A carriage stood in front of him, with dozens of soldiers standing behind him.
Gustav could sense that every igu warrior was an elite, no weaker than his own men. In fact, maybe a little stronger.
'The Red Skull Gang? No, they looked like noble warriors.'
"Who!?" Gustav rumbles.
The unknown soldiers remained silent. But after a few seconds, the train door opened.
Then, a beautiful white-haired girl came out, followed by a knight girl and a middle-aged man like a butler.
“Goodnight, Captain Gustav.” The girl bowed with a polite smile.
Gustav's eyes were wide open. Upon seeing the girl, he immediately recognized her identity. “Nona Alice Ferret.”
“It looks like you know about me, captain. Well, that'll make things easier. Sorry captain, but you can't keep going.”
Captain Gustav's expression turned grim. Looking at the angel-like girl in front of him, he could not help feeling fear.
“... What does this mean, Miss Alice? Is it rebellion? Will the Ferret Family oppose the Imperial Family?”
"Rebellion?" Alice tilted her head sweetly. “No, no, captain. There's nothing like it. Our family does not dare to oppose His Majesty the Emperor.”
"Then so-"
"But, that doesn't mean we'll let the imperial soldiers enter our property without explanation" Alice said.
"Huh?" Captain's dumbfounded. The property?
Since when did this place belong to the Ferret Family?
As if she was aware of the captain's confusion, Alice raised her hand. The butler, Aaron, understood his point and took the documents from his coat before putting them in his hands.
Alice smiled playfully and then handed the document to the captain.
When the captain received and read the document, his expression turned ugly.
In this document, it is stated that the Ferret Family owns two kilometers of land in the capital. According to this, they plan to use this land to establish an economic zone.
In other words, they did attack private property.
“... Miss Alice, are you really going to do this?” Captain Gustav asked as he gritted his teeth.
Alice shrugged her shoulders. “We only protect our rights, captain. Who assures us that your people will not damage our property. Of course, we don't mind letting you and your men through. you just need a written document signed by the relevant department and stating why you need to raid our property and how the empire will compensate us if we sustain damage.”
"i'm afraid that's impossible, captain," Alice said without changing her smiling expression. “But if you are really in an emergency. you can take a detour. I'm sure it's only one or two kilometers over.”
The captain fell silent and looked at Alice fixedly.
He could feel the soldiers behind him preparing to attack. He knew that if he gave the wrong order, this incident would turn into a bloodbath.
Helpless, he could only revolve in defeat.
"Round. We will take another route.” Gustav ordered.
“But captain! It's clear they–”
“I know, and I hope they are ready to face us tomorrow before the emperor. But if we do not want to add to the problem, we better take another path.” Gustav said.
The Imperial Guards nodded reluctantly and left.
However, before leaving, the captain glared at Alice for the last time.
It was as if he was telling her to expect news of him soon.
As the Imperial Guards left, Alice sighed and returned to her carriage along with her butler, Aaron, and her knight, Hannah.
“Young lady, are you sure it's okay?” Aaron could not help but ask after a few seconds of silence.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen" Alice said.
"But ... Isn't it too soon to be at odds with the Imperial Family?" said Aaron.
“Don't worry, we're on the right side this time. Moreover, soon the Imperial Family will not have time to care about this situation. Right, Prince Claus?” alice said it was like talking to a ghost.
“... You are right, Miss Alice.” A shadow appeared beside him.
It was a handsome young man with blue hair and blue eyes. He appeared sitting on the carriage with a calm gaze, as if he would be there all along.
Yeah, I was present the whole time. More precisely, my clone is here.
“I hope you are satisfied with our help, Prince Claus. Although unfortunately, we cannot stop them completely.” Alice smiled and said.
I shook my head. "That's enough. We get half an hour with this. When the Imperial Guards finally arrived at the headquarters of the Blue Wing Society Gang, not even debris would remain.”
“As expected of you.. Huh, it looks like the capital will live for a while. I can already imagine the commotion tomorrow. The Riea family and the Carmell family will definitely try to retaliate.” Alice said.
“Of course, they will do it.” I grinned.
But I'm ready for this.
Actually, there's a reason why I chose this time to move.
“You've seen it, haven't you Alice?” I said.
Alice smiled mysteriously without answering.
This chick…
But come to think of it, this little seer looks a lot sweeter when I compare it to the experienced Ysnay.
And he's also a lot easier to deal with.
"Right, how's the assignment I gave you?" i asked.
Alice's smile disappeared. Then, his expression turned grim.
“This is worse than we thought. Right in the capital, there were over two thousand people carrying seeds. The number in the empire might reach tens of thousands. In addition, many of its hosts are not humans, but just ordinary animals. ” Alice said.
“Is that?” I nodded and was lost in thought.
Looks like the preparation is more thorough than I thought.
Well, after all, he was an Immortal.
Should I ask Ysnay for help? Maybe he'll be able to find all his seeds and destroy them.
Huh, with the four Immortals interested in this world, I wonder how long before this world is destroyed.
I shook my head and stopped thinking about it. “Give that name to Principal Evelyn. He will take care of the rest.”
"Understood."
