The Raid On The Storm! The Infiltration.

Previously On,

Dragon God's Reincarnation!

...

<{Let's Go outside, The soldiers must be waiting}>

Xuanqing said while he held up the cloth gateway of the tent and was already half outside.

******

Back in the training fields,

All the soldiers got back into their formation the moment the caught glimpse of their leaders exiting the tent.

<{My dear soldiers! From this moment on you all will be divided under the leadership of the four leaders, They will tell you of the mission that has been allotted to you, }>

<{My Only Hope is that by the End of the War we all can meet here once again, and can once again talk to each other}>

<{Let The Raid Begin!}>

All soldiers in chorus,

**War cries**

**Cheers**

**Let The Raid Begin!**

**Let The Raid Begin!**

**Let The Raid Begin!**

**Let The Raid Begin!**

**Let The Raid Begin!**

*******************

The raid had begun,

Xuanqing was the Supreme General of the Army,

Sirus was a captured soldier but due to his achievements and contribution in the preparations for the raid, he was given special status and had the same authority as Reiner's.

and others had already taken up their ranks.

<{By now all of you know about your missions, so we will depart now! Remember your life is the first priority.}>

Hearing that,

Reiner along with A hundred soldiers who were in disguises of common folks and merchants. Set off towards castle.

Once Group Alpha,

Which is Reiner's group was out of sight,

The main, 800 soldiers strong army with 2 squad leaders, Sirus and Xuanqing set out leaving the security of the castle entirely on The Magic Barrier.

There were 100 Archers, 100 Magic archers, 100 healers, and 500 foot soldiers including swordsmen, spearmen, and Tankers in the army.

Their marching sound was enough to shake the earth,

All of them only has one destination,

Storm!

******

Meanwhile,

Reiner and his group were already read the castle.

When they heard a sharp voice call out to them,

"Who are you all? State your purpose!"

The Soldiers immediately knew that if they slip up, they will be shot dead. They could already feel the warm glares from the archers aiming at them.

Then as the leader of this team,

Reiner spoke up.

"**Cough** Greetings....sir, we are a merchant caravan and would like to seek asylum in this castle for the week."

"Do you know whose castle this is! This is Castle Storm, the Castle with the strictest rules in all of West Cardian. Do you all accept to undergo the security checks if you truly want to enter?"

"Yes good sir, we accept it."

When they accepted the checks, the security lowered their guard to some extent as if they knew that if they have accepted the checks that would mean that if they are suspicious they would be killed even without help.

Afterwards,

The drawbridge was lowered and enabled them to have a passage over the moat.

But once they reached the main gate, they were stopped.

"Stop! Undress yourselves"

One of the soldiers in yello and silver uniform ordered.

In order to successfully complete the covert mission, they complied with all the security checks.

"Okay, there is nothing in your clothes or your body, you can dress up again!"

The Soldier said while he threw the clothes right at their faces.

They were all enraged but knew that there were a lot of eyes on them and decide to bide their anger.

"Hey newbie, get 'That' thing over here!"

the soldier ordered a meek looking boy who would be around the age of 17.

"Rig---Right away sir!"

the boy struggled to get his words out due to anxiety and rushed towards a dusty room filled with all kinds of stuff. Only to pull out a huge glass ball.

With that ball in his arms he rushed towards the main gate.

"plea---please Sir tak---take it"

The boy was stammering, he looked terrified not of the outsiders but of his own superior.

The soldier took the ball out of his arms and kicked him right in the stomach, sending him across the path.

"You know that your stammering lowers the status of our castle! Say something Clearly!"

Hearing this the boy quickly held his hands tight over his stomach and ran away.

"Sorry for making you all see such an unsightly scene."

Reiner clenched his fist, his first thought was to kill this man who was standing in front of them. But stopped none the less.

"This Ball right here, is an Aura and mana tester"

"if you have even a speck of mana or aura, it would be detected."

When Reiner heard his words he remembered what his lord had told him before and maybe the other soldiers also remember the instructions.

********************

[Back in the Training grounds before the departure.]

********************

<{Listen Reiner, From what we know, The enemy guards will try to test any people who are entering the castle for mana and aura using a glass ball}>

"Then lord what happens if we get caught that we have aura?"

<{Then they either make you join the army or suffer a torturous death.}>

This sent shivers down Reiner's spine, It was the most gruesome way to die and not only die but they make people beg for death in front of their captors.

"Then lord, this whole Infiltration mission is doomed to fail if we will get caught at the front gates."

<{**Light Laugh**Who said anything about being caught,}>

"What do you mean, my lord?"

<{From what I have inferred from my interaction with Sirus, it seems that while an aura wielder's Origin Core is Taken out, they become so weak that they are unable to muster up any energy even in their weakened state}>

"But lord, If the Origin Core is taken out then one will not be able to use any aura anyway"

<{That's where you are wrong, even if the Core is taken out, The physical body remains at that level only!}>

It was then that it clicked Him, about what the plan was about.

But still, Xuanqing Whispered the plan in his ears.

*******

Back to present,

******

"Now what you all have to do is simple,"

"Place Your Palm over the ball like this and..."

The soldier said while placing his palm over the ball.

The ball immediately turned blackish purple starting from the center, a few moments after the soldier placed his palm over ball.

"If you have any aura or mana, the Glass ball will change colours to match your aura colour or dominant mana element just like this, easy?"

The soldier said while he placed the ball on an marble pedestal and asked them to place Their hands over it one by one.

Before Going on to touch the ball,

Reiner signalled his comrades by nodding his head.

And then he touched it, and surprisingly nothing happened.

After him other members of his team also placed Their hands over the ball but nothing happened in their case as well.

Seeing that these people did not have aura or mana, the guard gave up on checking their fake goods wagon and let them in.

******

Once they were outside the sight of the soldiers, they got into a dark back alley and took the husk placed in the barrels out to reveal a hundred and one Origin Cores.

All of them let out a laugh,

"**Laugh**Who would have thought that this would actually work!**Laugh**"

One of the team members spoke up,

"**Laugh**Well, It was all our lord's plan. How did he guess that if all the party members were proven to have no aura then they will not check the cart**Laugh**"

Reiner replied while struggling to stop laughing.

After a while,

all of them inserted their cores back into their abdominal area.

and changed into the uniforms they took out of another barrel.

"Let's go, We must destroy it"

Reiner said while preparing to dash off.

"Let's go,"

All the soldiers said In chorus as they dashed off towards the front castle wall.

********

Meanwhile the army,

********

It's been half an hour since the army started it's March,

But stopped to camp midway to wait for the signal.

While everyone was checking up on their supplies and food,

Xuanqing left his tent and went to a place nearby the pond, it was Sirus's resting place.

and he entered the tent,

<{Hey! Sirus,}>

Hearing his voice,

A muscular figure emerged from the back of the tent.

"What is it?"

Sirus's voice sounded like he had woken up from a nap right now.

<{Here take it!}>

Xuanqing said while he threw a clothed orb towards Sirus.

"What is this?"

Sirus asked while he catches the orb.

<{Remove the cloth, it's your property}>

As he unclothed the orb a blue greenish light was leaking out, Once he saw that colour he immediately got impatient and unwrapped the cloth as quickly as he could to reveal....His Origin Core.

"Why did you give it back to me? I thought that you said that you will keep it so that you can smash it when I lie or betray you."

<{One shouldn't keep something precious to his people as collateral, that's the lesson I learnt from Baron Squall}>

Xuanqing said while patting him on the shoulder.

<{It doesn't matter, if you stay with us after rescuing your family but just remember that you have a place to come back to and a position vacant}>

Sirus was about to weep but held it in and let Him leave.

******

Once he was back in the camp,

Xuanqing sat on the mattress that was laid down on the floor and began browsing through the system.

<{System, can I contact the Dragon Gods From Here?}>

"My lord, I seem to be changing..."

Xuanqing said in a subtle tone.

{Oh really, }

{Let me guess, It includes Improved leadership skills, Professional millitary skills and improved blood thirst, Right?}

"Yes lord, it is exactly like what you said, These are all foreign concepts to me I don't know if it's still me or not."

{You know what, when you are done with the trial, I'll have my Doppelganger bring you here and then you will get all the answers}

"Really my lord!"

Xuanqing was really happy and surprised by this development.

{Yes, now let me sleep my anime is currently not streaming so let me sleep!}
