Chapter 718 - Infiltration
Two hours quickly pa.s.sed, and the time of the operation soon arrived.
The ones infiltrating the beastkin camp were Rose, Katherine, my cousin Lina, Saintess Safelia, Doctor Elene, and my sister Dina.
Alice would stay in the base using her abilities over fate to monitor the situation, Headmistress Evelyn was on standby to teleport the armies, Daisy was in the sky preparing herself to release her strongest attack at my signal, and Raven was the trump card I was saving for any unexpected situation.
The rest of my women have not become Irregulars yet, so they can"t partic.i.p.ate in this mission. Instead, they are going to join the battle together with the main army when Headmistress Evelyn teleports it.
When the time to start the mission arrived, I nodded to the girls.
They nodded back with determined expressions and started to move.
Using the night as cover and with the support of Alice"s abilities over fate, they flew towards the beastkin camp without being discovered.
But when they were one kilometer away from the beastkin camp, they saw several beastkin standing guard. Two of them were even Irregulars.
[Don"t worry about them. I changed fate to make it so "you can"t be seen". They won"t be able to find you.] Emilia"s voice sounded in their minds.
"Impressive." Katherine could not help but mutter. "Then, should we start by killing the Irregulars standing guard?"
"Good idea." Saintess Safelia and the others nodded.
But when they were about to move, Rose stopped them.
"Wait."
"Did anything happen?" Asked my sister, Dina.
"There is something wrong with them. Something connecting them to someone… Most likely, Emilia."
The girls were startled. In the base, Alice closed her eyes to confirm Rose"s words.
Five seconds later, she nodded.
[Rose is right. If you kill them, Emilia will know.]
"Does it mean that we will be discovered as soon as we make a move?" Katherine asked, and the other girls frowned.
[… I think I can try to intercept the signal, but I"m not confident Emilia won"t notice anything.] Alice said hesitantly.
[Leave it to me.] I used our soul connection to speak to my girls. [Just focus on intercepting the signal, Alice. I will make sure that Emilia doesn"t notice anything for as long as possible.]
[Understood… Done, you can start.]
Hearing Alice"s words, the girls moved.
The first to act was Doctor Elene.
[Lonely Night].
Elene"s technique created a zone of absolute darkness around the two beastkin Irregulars, blocking their sight and stopping their movements completely.
At the same time, Rose and Katherine moved.
The Hero and the green-haired girl appeared in front of the two Irregulars. The Hero used her sword to stab the first Irregular"s heart, and Katherine created a blade using her cosmic wind to slit the neck of the second Irregular.
The two Irregulars opened their eyes wide. But as expected of Irregulars, they did not die without struggling.
When they realized the situation, they instinctively roused their mana and tried to counterattack and shout to warn the rest of the camp about the attack. But right then, Saintess Safelia"s voice sounded.
"G.o.d said, [Thou shall not move]!"
Immediately, their mana froze, and their attempts to resist ceased.
Next, Rose and Katherine sent mana inside their bodies, destroying their internal organs completely and killing them once and for all.
Then, before their bodies could fall to the ground, Lina waved her hand and created a flame, burning the bodies and blood to ashes.
One second later, no trace of the two Irregulars remained.
The entire process was completed in less than ten seconds. The girls did not make the slightest noise, and even their fluctuations of mana were masked by Alice"s abilities over fate.
Next, Alice manipulated fate to create two projections of the Irregulars in the place where they were before. That way, even if someone looked towards them, they would not notice anything wrong.
"How did it go? Were we discovered?" Katherine could not help but ask nervously.
Fortunately, Alice"s voice relieved them.
[We were not. Continue with the plan.]
The girls sighed in relief and nodded. Then, they flew inside the camp.
Following Alice"s instructions, they headed to the location of the beastkin Irregulars. They did not know how long they could keep hidden, so they needed to kill as many enemies as possible during that time.
Alice tried to target the Irregulars that were alone, but it seemed that Emilia had thought that something like this could happen. Every Irregular was in a group with at least another person, and some of them were in groups of three, four, five, six, and even seven people.
Moreover, all the groups were close to each other, so if the girls were unlucky, they could be discovered immediately.
Despite that, the girls continued with the plan. After several seconds, the girls decided on their second target.
It was a group of Irregulars at the west of the camp. They were a bit separated from the others, so they were the perfect targets.
This time, Dina buffed the rest of the group before they attacked to reduce the chances of the Irregulars managing to resist.
One second later, the girls moved.
The process was exactly the same as before. Facing Rose, Katherine, Elene, Safelia, and Lina"s flawless cooperation, the two Irregulars were killed in less than ten seconds.
No resistance, no fluctuations of mana, and no noise. The entire process was so clean that it seemed like nothing had happened.
"Okay, let"s continue."
The girls nodded at Rose"s words and headed towards their next target.
Just like that, the girls continued killing the beastkin Irregulars one after another. In the next five minutes, they attacked four more times, killing ten other Irregulars.
In total, they had killed fourteen Irregulars.
Emilia"s side had seventy-five Irregulars left after the previous battle, so killing fourteen of them was reducing her forces by almost a fifth.
But when they were about to head to the next target, Alice"s voice suddenly sounded in their minds.
[It"s bad. One of the Irregulars discovered something!]
The girls were startled. In the next second, a powerful will swept through the beastkin camp.
The girls were unable to hide from this will. It noticed them instantly.
"… Wh.o.r.es, what do you think you are doing?" Emilia"s chilling voice sounded in the girls" ears.
In the next second, over sixty powerful auras surged out as the remaining Irregulars flew up.
When they realized that fourteen of their companions did not appear, their expressions became ugly.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!" One of them growled in rage.
But just at that moment–
[Evelyn, now!] I shouted.
[Understood! Teleport!]
A giant magic circle suddenly appeared in front of the bestkin camp and the entire human army appeared from it.
"Soldiers! Charge!"
"""OHHH!!!"""
Following Marana"s shout, the human soldiers charged towards the beastkin camp.
The decisive battle between humans and beastkin had started.
