Cardboard Houses Do Not Tear

96 – Inside the Castle

We hid the wagon by the way we came from.

And before entering the fort, we set our goals.

Of course, it’s impossible to kill all the robbers.

So, our top priority was to assassinate the robber leader and rescue the nobleman.

According to the robbers, most of them came in to rob because they had no way to live. If it loses its head, it will soon become Monster Bob, or it will be caught and killed by the enraged guards.

And then, as they usually do, you’ll be back as a ‘normal’ citizen.

If you survive us.

After making the plan as realistic as possible, I started camouflage.

Tie the fluttering sleeve part with a string as much as possible to fix it.

After adding glue to the soles of the shoes to reduce the sound of footsteps.

Thinly rubbing mud made by spraying water on a knife to get rid of the light.

After finishing her disguise, I looked at her and asked.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes.”

Miss Prianian, whose sleeves were tied slightly revealing the curves of her limbs, nodded.

“Let’s go.”

We could barely hear our footsteps in the darkness.

How far did it go?

Miss Priyanian sent a hand signal from the side.

‘Stop.’

Only then, when I glanced ahead, I saw something shining in the bushes under the wooden fence.

A small bell tied to a branch and a long stretch of thread shone softly in the starlight.

The robber did not give out all the information. I didn’t know there were people in the same industry.

Miss Prianian sent a hand signal.

She stepped forward, clutching her dagger, and the alarm was disabled with the sound of her thread snapping.

A slender finger drew a circle.

‘Move.’

There was something in front of her. It was a very sloppy bear trap.

Looking at it in a state of concealment, as if it was only pretending, it didn’t look like it was in good training condition.

As the robber said, it was almost certain that they had gathered recently.

I gave a hand signal to Miss Prianian, who kept looking at me.

‘Wait.’

It was my turn to stand next.

Once we got through the alarms and traps set by the robbers and arrived under the wooden fence, we saw a sentry leaning on a watchtower in the distance.

At a glance, it was the one dozing like a sick chicken during a night watch.

Miss Priyanian asked me in a whisper if she was dumbfounded.

“…That’s sleeping right now, right?”

“I guess so.”

With our thoughts about the madman sleeping in the watchtower erased from our heads, we found the passage the robber said as quickly as possible.

Perhaps soldiers staying at the military camp or robbers opened a new hole, and even one person crawled into it.

Miss Prianian looked at me and asked.

“Should I go first or Mr. G-house?”

=If you want to be me, come out.

That’s what it looked like, so I willingly stepped forward.

Squad leader I don’t know if I’m really interested in that kind of thing because I’m a squad leader, but I think I should.

“I’ll go first.”

“Good.”

The fort, which I entered almost halfway through, had almost no alert.

The torch lit to prevent infiltration was half off,

It was dark everywhere except for the barrack-like building where they seemed to be staying.

I don’t think you’re trying to disguise yourself as an abandoned citadel.

Because they were robbers, did they not know that they would be invaded?

It was an incomprehensible sight for me, who had been taught the importance of boundaries by Hwaran for the past five years through indoctrination accompanied by dog-bashing and kicking.

‘Are they geniuses who make intruders angry?’

It was a moment when we realized once again that our decision to sprout in advance was correct.

Then a very thin voice came from behind.

“Mr. G-House.”

“Oh.”

I quickly turned her head, reached out to her, and lifted her up slowly.

“Thank you.”

Miss Prianian, who safely entered the citadel, whispered to me.

“As I said before, let’s get rid of the guards in the watchtower first.”

“……”

Where do you put the hand signals, and why do they keep tickling people’s ears?

“Mr. G-House?”

At her urging, I nodded.

“First of all, as I said before, let’s split up and neutralize the three watchtowers.”

“Take care of yourself.”

“Miss Prianian.”

How long has it been since they parted like that?

I saw a patrol team in front of me.

“So that’s it.”

“You ate college stuff? You wouldn’t be here if you did. Asshole.”

“If you’re a college janitor, you ate college stuff. You’re tackling.”

Two guys with torches were walking this way, chatting.

I put a cooper coin on the floor far away beforehand.

Because if you make a coin sound, it’s more suspicious. Put down quietly

As if someone dropped it.

And he took up his sword, and settled in the shadows.

“Because it’s real.”

“Don’t bullsh*t. By the way, what is that?”

“Isn’t that a coin?”

They got closer and closer, passing by me.

“That’s right. It was a f*cking windfall-“

Quack!

As I drew a knife through the grinning guy’s neck with a coin, I heard drops of red blood burning on a torch.

Profit.

“… Huh?”

Chack!

The self-proclaimed cleaning lady next to me couldn’t respond and her throat was blown off.

Second.

Even so, after hiding a group of patrols in the shadows, we arrived at the guard post.

The three watchtowers were climbed up stairs, not ladders.

There was a little squeaking when I took my first steps, but the sentry didn’t react, apparently asleep.

After I climbed the first guard post, I let him go as painlessly as possible.

Hook.

Of course, he stabbed him obliquely from the front so that no bloodstains could be seen.

The robber, who opened his eyes for a moment, was soon able to sleep soundly.

Third.

It was time to straighten the bastard’s posture and move to the next checkpoint.

“Hey.”

I heard a stranger talking down there.

I suppressed my flinching body as much as I could, and I covered the chair with my body and looked down.

“Oh yeah, good job. You’re working hard without sleeping.”

A guy who looked like an adventurer or a mercenary was looking at me with his hands behind his back.

He’s probably an instructor or an officer.

“The last time they hit every single one of them, so I slapped them in the back of the head, but Post No. 3 And Post No. 2 Don’t even sleep.”

I don’t know where Post 3 was, but it was clear that the post in the direction he was walking was where Miss Prianian was.

The officer on duty looked up at me for a while and gave me compliments, but when he didn’t get an answer, he raised a hardened voice.

“Why, don’t you like me talking to you?”

For some reason, the yellow armband started to come to mind, and my stomach started to feel stuffy.

But he had to stay calm.

Because it was clear that I wouldn’t be able to see my face now because of the backlight.

Since she succeeded in tricking him, I should be able to too.

Nodding off.

I lowered my head to keep my voice down, and then he nodded.

“Okay, let’s do it well, okay?”

Nodding off.

Perhaps drunk with the taste of the armband, the watch officer quietly moved to the next post.

After confirming that he was quite far away, I sighed.

“Whoa.”

After barely recovering my heart, I lifted the longbow that the sentry had put up next to the chair. I don’t know if he’s wearing a nice necklace, but the bow looks pretty good.

I tried pulling on it a few times, as Miss Priyanian had done, but there was no splitting sound.

But there were only two arrows that looked good, so I can’t carry them around and use them.

I quietly raised my bow and looked at the guard post with Miss Prianian in the distance.

She was looking at me with her crossbow pointed at the officer on duty.

I pointed with my hand to the officer on duty walking over there with his hands behind his back and crossed his arms.

‘Snipe.’

Next, point to the guard post next to me. Showed the palm.

‘Five seconds later.’

After confirming that Miss Priyanian nodded, I took a posture.

Ahh.

The bowstring was pulled, and the heart began to beat slowly.

In the distance, the field of vision reduced like a cone, I saw a sentry who seemed to have woken up from a nap with his head hanging down.

As if trying to chase sleep, the head that was constantly stirring was fixed precisely in the air.

Peeing.

Along with the sound of a bowstring snapping, a low pongong sound was heard from afar.

Pak!

The arrow that disappeared into the darkness reappeared shaking the sentry’s head.

Fourth.

The officer on duty saw it, flinched and turned her head away.

“Surprise-“

Kung.

The body was hit by a bolt in the face and rolled on the ground.

I quickly aimed my bow at the lighted building, but no one came out.

Really, their discipline was no joke.

***

After moving the watch officer’s corpse to a dark place and roughly covering the bloodstains with soil, they joined Miss Prianian.

“It’s fortunate that the sum is well matched.”

“I didn’t expect the robbers to be this weak.”

Hearing my words, she quietly guessed.

“Perhaps the officers we just killed are good enough. Just before being hit by a bolt, they turned their heads as if they noticed.”

“Hmm.”

Then the abduction of the noble could be explained.

Perhaps it was the executives and the bosses who did it, and if they were erased from the world, this band of robbers would naturally disappear.

I drew my sword again.

The mud-stained blade was pointed at the wooden building in front of us.

“Let’s go in first, take care of the boss first, and then think about it.”

The robber said that the boss was on the second floor and the noble was staying on the basement.

The priority was to secure the safety of the hostages as quickly as possible.

Kikkik.

The door opened, revealing the interior of the first floor.

The long, L-shaped corridor had doors on both sides, and it reminded me of an army barracks.

Sarak.

The grass-padded shoes made a sound like being pressed against the tip of a broom.

Since we were at the middle corner of the letter A, we could see both sides of the corridor.

There was no watch on the chair next to the door, which is usually set up to prevent intrusion or emergencies.

Surprisingly, it seemed that he had been away for a while.

I thought maybe he was sleeping in his room, but he shouldn’t be careless.

If you push in with the quantity, there are twice as many mercenaries and no mercenaries.

I stood in the middle of the corner and turned my head in both directions to look around, but I couldn’t see them.

I gave her her signal to her, even as I covered her front with her shield.

‘Enter.’

We entered the first floor of the barracks.
