After meeting Lime at the market, Eiji unexpectedly was summoned to the department!
He was puzzled as he should still be on a vacati- on punishment!
It hasn't even been nearly a three days, and now he was summoned back?!
Although puzzled, he still went and arrived at the office of the commander.
*Knock! Knock!
"It's Eiji sir!"
"Come in!"
Entering the room, Eiji saw that there were a lot of papers on the desk of the commander.
It was even more so than usual. It seems like he's very busy, maybe because of the war.
"Eiji! I know you're in punishment right now, but there's an urgent mission!"
"Okay sir!"
"Hmm! You should know about the war by now right?!"
"Yes sir!"
"Well, as the war progressed between those two idiots, the IAI Department was gathering information about this situation!"
'Idiots?'
Eiji thought to himself, but still nodded his head.
"Count Nakamura suddenly passed his Count title to his first son, Maeda Nakamura! It is a well known fact that he dislikes his first son, and that is even an understatement! And from what we know about that son, he was mediocre at best, but now, suddenly he acquired a sudden boost of power!"
*SWOOOSH!!!!
Commander Sadou frowned and looked at Eiji in the eyes as a sudden pressure erupted from his body!
"We found out he was colluding with the sword of freedom!"
"!!!"
Eiji was surprised.
He knew that from all those years ago that, that prince of kusanagi had told the sword of freedom about him, and from his master's investigation over the years, he knew that they were now looking for a boy with a black hair, has speed that far surpassed his peeers and has an unbelievably sharp ki!
Now Eiji felt that those from the sword of freedom might be here for him and was causing some trouble!
"I understand sir! I will go to the Nakamura County now!"
"No!"
"Huh?!"
He was puzzled at the unexpected answer as he looked at Commander Sadou.
"Although we know that he is colluding with the sword of freedom, there are more than enough assassin's in there as well as teams from the Warrior department!
The place I'm dispatching you is the Murata county!"
"Murata County?!"
Eiji asked back.
"Hmm! The Murata County is a famous hub of merchants, the sudden emergence of the war made it so that the merchants in there almost doubled as they sought profit from this war!"
Eiji nodded.
He understood the capitalistic minds of those people, he had already been dealing with them from all those years!
If nobles were first at the people that they had been dealing the most, merchants were second before actually traitors!
As you have to find traitors first before you can deal with them, while nobles are just there, spreading their greasy and high nosed ass everywhere, merchants, on the other hand, true to their nature just thinks about money and nearly has no regards with boundaries not thinking if they had crossed the line of the kingdom's rule, thinking they're out of it as long as they have enough money!
"So sir, who's my target this time?!"
"There's a caravan going out of the County in five days, although it they'd call it merchandise, the intel says that it's people being kidnapped and sold into slavery!
This merchant group had found that there would be a lot of orphans and widows because of this war and targeted them!
They are taking them even though they don't have any huge debt or any crimes committed!
Now, you have to arrive before those five days and assist Marco and Akai in this mission.
For now, they are on standby within the city, after reuniting, you are to proceed, regardless if they are out or inside of the city!"
"Understood sir! I'll be going now!"
"Hmm! Good luck!"
*Thud!
*SWOOOSH l!!!
Closing the door, Eiji dashed as he hurried back home!
From the capital to Murata County, it would take two days of travel, and he needs to support Marco and Akai before any unexpected situation happens!
*End Of Chapter.
