Teaming Up With System 225

Shadow Guard (5)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grey was reporting to Prince Cecil what the other Shadow Guards and Scouts were able to find out. There were only two of them in the room, so he didn't have to worry about his identity being exposed.

"Master, two armies are coming in from the West and the East. The Right General is on his way, and he is coming in from the West. By the time he arrives, he should be able to confront the Western Army from behind. The Left General asked if you need any reinforcements from her. Also, the Lightning General of the Liyas Empire is marching from the East. It seems they are trying to pincher-attack us."

"Foolish. It seems they have many soldiers at their disposal."

"Most of the soldiers and knights are not from the original Liyas territory. They have been using people from the territories they have captured on their way to our Empire. Their men are hardly organized, but they are fighting because if they rebel, the Liyas Empire would burn their country to the ground."

There was a country that suffered this miserable fate on the Liyas continent. The country was called Abera. The country was surrounded by rich and diverse forests, but because the citizens had rebelled, they slaughtered everyone and burned every inch of the country to ashes. Every country they have conquered after that became obedient after hearing a country being destroyed so brutally.

"Don't you find that they are very annoying?" Prince Cecil leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, and his head leaning on his hand. He looked like a villain whose plans had gone right and now he was excited to commence the next step.

"They are annoying, like flies," Grey agreed.

"Exactly, so let's end this battle quickly and go back home."

The poor Liyas Empire had no idea what was coming as they were slaughtered.

That night, Grey made sure that Prince Cecil was sleeping before slipping out. He slipped into the shadows, bypassed many guards that were on duty, before going to a deserted corner of the fort. He only had to wait for a moment before someone came out from the shadows.

The person who had left the shadows was Number 1. Usually, he would be protecting the Emperor, but when he got a message from Number 18, he definitely had to run over to his cute little brother who had asked for him so passionately.

Seeing Number 18, Number 1 immediately jumped him into a hug.

"My baby brother💕. To be able to see you~! You are so cute! So adorableee."

Number 1 was only like that with Number 18. To think this man was a monster in the eyes of the Association.

Talk about gap moe.

Even though Number 1 rarely showed his face, when he did, he would make all the men and women run to him and jump on his bed. He had striking blue eyes and bright blonde hair. He looked more like a prince than a killer, but he only wanted to take care of his little brother, Number 18. Oh, he also wanted to do his job, but that came second in his heart.

They weren't real brothers, but since they were both orphans, Number 1 couldn't help but take care of Number 18 who reminded him of his dead little brother. Number 18 and 1's brother would be the same age if he was alive.

"I missed you too. Did you get the information, Big Brother?" Though his voice seemed cold, Number 1 knew this was how Number 18 was.

"Of course. At first, I was wondering what you wanted from Prince Levi, but it seems that man's scheme runs deep." He handed two letters to 18.
