Chapter 36. Wolfrain

Werewolf.

They are one of the most powerful demihumans species. They have huge strength but what they are famous for is their speed.

The werewolf despite being huge have a great speed because of their legs making them attack their opponent using their claws to tear apart them.

And Boros was a werewolf.

"So, our plan to defeat Boros is quite simple."

Normally, the fights between nations are fought in the borders. But not Avalon or Boros are some countries even though both exert control over great lands.

It's not wrong that the land under Avalon is quite big in size, which could be a small country in modern world. The same could also be said for Boros.

But... it still doesn't mean that both of them absolute control their territory.

It medieval age, where the kings rule the lands, the main point in the territory is the cities with importance.

The cities which are important for the nation to build wealth. And where wealth resides, people will reside there as well.

It means as long these cities are annexed, the nation can be won. The fight between nations always work in this way.

Even in modern world, it works the same. As long the capital is annexed, the winner is decided. Since capital is the symbol of that country and its king. That's why the kings try to protect the capital at any costs, even retreating from the borders and getting holed up under the walls to protect it.

So, to defeat Boros, the plan devised by Ren was extremely simple.

And that is to capture of the capital of Boros's territory, the city where his castle resides - Wolfrain.

3rd District, Boros's Territory, Wolfrain...

Despite being the most important place, it didn't had any impressive defense. The walls around the city surrounding were old with various cracks symbolising it's age.

After all, this city was abandoned with some refugees living in it until Boros decided to make it his base.

Wolfrain is surrounded by big and old walls, with two entry points. And in middle of it, like any other city has a castle, the Boros Castle.

Ren's plan was simple and straight. He with his companions will climb up the wall with his gravity and infiltrate the castle and finally kill Boros.

Simple and straight.

As long Boros falls, winning is easy. Except for few other members, nobody of much worth is in Boros's gang. All of them are normal bandits and gang members with not much combat power.

And now...

Ren looked at Asagi full clad in her tight suits. On his gesture, she wore her mask and came near him.

<Ether Gear - Satan Gravity: Anti-Gravity>

And suddenly she found herself floating, totally weightless.

"Don't panic."

She controlled herself and nodded at Ren's words. Ren took her slowly and secretly both of them climbed the wall.

Ren then gestured Asagi to do her work as he bought out a rope for the rest to climb up.

Unfortunately for now his Ether Gear is not that powerful to bring more than a person at once.

While he was laying down the rope, Asagi took out her sword and started to eliminate the wall guards.

Being an assassin, it's easy work for her. One by one, she killed all of them with not much effort.

'This one is the last.'

She kept her sword at the man's throat while holding his mouth, and slashed it quickly making it unable for the man to struggle for his life.

After finding all the scout guards on the wall dead, she returned back to Ren.

"Well, then all of you remember the plan, right?"

"Yeah! All I have to do is to defeat them, right!"

Ghislaine excited for battle was swaying her hands with excitement. It's been a while since Avalon went full war, and her blood was boiling for action.

"Ghislaine, be quiet. Don't be so loud."

Artoria like a strict soldier scolded her comrade, since she always went way ahead breaking plans in search of her battle excitement.

"Huh? But since we are going to attack, isn't it already going to be loud?"

Ghislaine said making Artoria stunned. She also didn't have the answer of her question.

"Haha! Ghislaine is right."

"See! Even master agrees with me!"

"Master--"

"Don't think too much, Artoria. And Ghislaine isn't wrong. After getting into the castle, it's going to be loud anyway. How could they not know that we are inside killing them?"

They aren't assassinating Boros. Avalon's members are less, that's why they are going to assault the castle rather than fighting from the front through the city walls.

Ren just patted Artoria's head to make her calm down a bit, making her blush a bit. Then he looked at the castle that stood tall in the middle of the city.

"Let's go!"

Boros Castle...

Yawn~

"Damn! I told them to report them all the time. Why are they late?! It seems I am being to lenient on them."

Kane, a man with a big scar on his face stood up from the bed, with multiple women with collars. The collars were obviously the indicator that all of them were slaves under him.

He wore the clothes and took his sword, and opened the big exquisite wooden door, suiting the luxurious room.

Annoyingly, he walked out of his room, and climbed up the stairs near his room which connects to the castle walls.

Being in the charge for scouting, he normally leaves the thugs under him to keep watch on the walls, and report him once in night about it.

But today for some reason, nobody came to him making him come out and take a look.

"Huh? This smell... Are these bastards drunk?"

He came near the door to find smell of beer, making him think that the guards must be down because of beer.

With a bit anger, and with an intention to punish, he took up his big sword and opened the door.

Creak!

"You bastards need a..."

He then noticed a body just near his legs with an desperate gaze. He bent down and then touched the dark puddle underneath him.

"This...!!"

How could he not recognise it? Being a bandit, he knows it more better than anyone else.

It is blood.
