Blue Sword

The next morning.

Probably after receiving news from the queen, the demigod in charge of guarding the prison happened to be "out on business" today, and by the way, he spoke to the Cang Qing Sword people in the prison.

So, while the demigod was away, everyone returned to Hearth Island collectively, and Asker assigned new tasks.

"Assassination?" Eleanor was a little surprised.

"Yes, assassination." Asik said calmly.

"Do you still remember that we once accepted the 'persuasion mission' from the Falcon family in the Principality of Swabia in the Shinra Empire? In fact, the current situation of the Lusitania half-elves is quite different from that of the Falcon family back then. For similar."

"On the one hand, they are all facing severe external crises: the Falcon family encountered the power vacuum of the Principality of Swabia, and had to fight against the surrounding military nobles to compete for territory and resources; the Lusitania half-elf It happened during the Iberian War, when the undead and humans were fighting each other outside, and the half-elves had to choose sides during this period, otherwise they would be in a diplomatic dilemma after the war."

"On the other hand, the internal powers of both parties have not yet been fully integrated, and there are a lot of conflicts and differences. Since the Falcon family is a community of interests, the contradictions that exist are relatively simple: Should we actively expand or be conservative and defensive?"

"The current problem of half-elves is more complicated. The combination of isolationism, conservatism and racial discrimination makes it naturally difficult for half-elves to give enough trust to outside humans. Before this, Lusitania had a detached attitude, and in Ibi The Peninsula remains neutral."

"Therefore, before they take action, they must first integrate the internal power factions. The plan chosen by the Falcon family at the beginning was 'persuasion', which is Medea's psychological brainwashing method, which is based on the internal situation of the Falcon family. A situation relatively unfamiliar to Psions.”

"As for the half-elves, they have a deeper understanding of extraordinary power. Using 'spiritual persuasion' can easily leave loopholes and flaws. Therefore, Her Majesty and I discussed it and decided to use the 'assassination' method."

"Wait a minute, Captain, you actually had a private meeting with the Half-Elf Queen? Why didn't we know about it?!" Peggy shouted in disbelief.

"Shut up, that's not the point." Asker said angrily, "The reason why we chose to assassinate was because Her Majesty the Queen's political opponents took the lead in using despicable assassination tactics in an attempt to blame us."

"Therefore, we will also use assassination tactics to fight back and kill all the important senior officials in the opponent's camp. Then Her Majesty the Queen will mobilize public opinion and put the blame on the undead outside. This will help her complete the integration of forces and clear her motives at the same time. .”

"Wait, you mean..." Sheila asked in confusion, "Pretend to be the undead to assassinate people from the conservative camp within the half-elves?"

"That's right." Aske said calmly, "The current situation is that our employer, Her Majesty the Queen, is the leader of the reform camp's openness camp, while her political opponents are isolationists in the conservative camp."

"They tried to incite the hatred of half-elves against humans by framing us. Then we will also frame them and transfer the hatred of half-elves from humans to the undead."

"I understand." Eleanor echoed, "Don't forget, there is an essential difference between humans and the undead."

"If the opponent is a human, the isolationists among the half-elves will tend not to interact with each other because they lack trust in humans; but if the opponent is the undead, even the most stubborn conservatives know that war is inevitable. "

"Because the undead do not accept the surrender of living beings." Paige also suddenly realized.

"Yes." Eleanor said in a deep voice, "It is still possible for half-elves and humans to live in peace, but this option does not exist with the undead."

"By launching similar undead attacks, half-elves' hostility and fear towards the undead will be intensified, thereby forcing them to eliminate their luck mentality and realize that there are fundamental differences between humans and the undead, thus making more half-elves tend to cooperate with outside humans. , even if it is cooperation that is forced, excluded and distrustful of each other.”

"That's it." The girls also understood.

"That's right." Asik took out a list. "After talking about the background, let's talk about the assassination mission itself."

"The political structure of half-elves is different from that of humans. They do not have a large and complex bureaucracy, and the system is relatively flatter. The power base of the superiors relies more on their own extraordinary level than their connections and prestige."

"Therefore, those on our list are basically Level 10-19 Law Level Transcendents."

"There are no demigods here, which does not mean that the assassination mission is simple, because the key to the so-called assassination is that no one can be discovered during the entire process."

"I understand." Peggy said, "If you are witnessed, kill the witnesses as well."

"That's pretty much what it means." Asik nodded and said, "But don't forget, we are carrying out the assassination in the city of Alola, the royal capital."

"Once you are discovered and shouted by witnesses, when you go to assassinate the witnesses, you are likely to be discovered by more witnesses. The spread of this chain reaction is extremely dangerous, because the number of witnesses will soon increase. It will surge to the point where you can’t kill them all. So the safest way is-don’t be discovered by any witnesses, understand?”

"I understand." The girls nodded. Kind-hearted people like Nora and Eleanor invariably breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of not having to murder innocent passers-by.

"In addition, we are still apparently in jail, so we have a natural alibi. As long as we are not witnessed, no one can accuse us of doing it."

"As for how to get out of prison, everyone should know it, right?"

The girls all pointed at Mia.

"Very good." Ask said with satisfaction, "Then we will..."

"Make a plan first?" Eleanor pondered.

"What kind of plan! We don't have any intelligence information except an assassination list, so what kind of plan do we have?" Asker was speechless. "Just do it and adapt accordingly when the time comes."

"Next, let's start dividing our teams." He looked at the girls and said after a moment's thought, "Let's divide them into two teams. Mia, Nora, Eleanor, and Hidrifa are team A, and Mi'er, Medea, Sheila, and Peggy are team B, and I will assign them to the specific targets on the assassination list."

Silla thought about it silently, and soon understood the reason for such a division:

The main assassin of Team A is Mia, and her assassination method is teleportation + close-quarters assassination. Therefore, Nora, Eleanor, and Hidliefa who partner with her are almost all good at short- and medium-range control/defense/output. ;

The main assassin of Team B is Mi'er, and the assassination method is long-range sniping. Both Medea and Sheila can perform ultra-long-range control/output. Although Peggy is a melee fighter, she is extremely mobile and is good at stealth penetration (flesh transformation, transforming into a bat or mouse), so she can perfectly assist Mier.

Thinking like this, Silla couldn't help but admire the leader. Looking at Medea and Eleanor, they seem to have understood the basis for such a division.

Some of the remaining girls were thoughtful, while others looked indifferent. Anyway, they just listened to the leader's instructions. Only Mia, who was ignorant, raised her hand and asked:

"I have a problem! There are 4 people in Team A and 4 people in Team B. Are you going to be lazy again, Captain..."

"Children, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Ask interrupted her quickly, "I am coordinating the overall situation! Do you understand the coordinating role?"

"What is coordination?" Mia was confused.

Ask gave Medea a hint, and the latter patted little Mia on the head and said in the psychic communication channel:

"The coordination is that if Aske takes action, he will quickly eliminate all the targets on the list. So he can only choose not to take action and leave these targets to us for training."

That’s so! Mia suddenly understood. With the leader's ability, this is indeed the case! The leader really has good intentions!
