"Are they really going to attack us, it's been a couple of days since we have started patrolling the capital thoroughly, but there's no sign of the traitors anywhere in the kingdom." A soldier suddenly asked another, much older soldier.

"I don't know, lad, they might attack us directly, but they might not, all we need to do is follow orders." The old soldier said as he glanced at the young soldier with some pity in his eyes.

The soldier is one that had joined the military after the battle against the demonic creatures while the older soldier had participated in that battle. He had personally seen how the traps that were laid by Raigon killed millions of demonic creatures before they had the chance to attack them, and he had personally taken up his weapon and fought against the monstrosities in close-quarter combat, almost losing his life as the result.

If not for the healers that had saved his life, he wouldn't be here right now.

'For sir Raigon, sir Eisenhorn and sir Reign to actually stage a coup, I still can't believe that it's true.' The old soldier thought as he narrowed his eyes for a moment before returning to his usual, blank expression.

"Yeah, but, didn't you hear, the prince is dead, killed by those traitors probably!" The soldier said to the old man before gripping his sword tightly.

"To think the men that the whole kingdom almost worshipped would do such a thing, I still can't wrap my head around the whole thing, why would they do it, it's not like sir Raigon and Eisenhorn had low ranks in the kingdom, and the leader of the rebellion, Reign, is from another world, a mercenary that helped us twice, why would he want to take over the kingdom when he is probably going to go back anyway?"

The old soldier listened to the kid, the lines on his forehead showing more with each word coming out of the young man's mouth. He of course knew why the young man was thinking so, most soldiers were thinking the same things.

There were only a small number of those that followed and believed the words of the king and the others full-heartedly. One thing to note was that after the whole thing started, there had been no sight of those that were devout believers of any of the people that were branded as traitors.

The kingdom released a statement saying that they had gone into hiding and had put out warrants for their arrest, but most doubted that that was what had happened.

"Listen, kid, do not, and I repeat, do not question that out loud, not when others can hear you." The old soldier suddenly got into the young soldier's face and said in a low, serious voice.

"Listen, you're not the only person that has such thoughts, but we are soldiers, we merely follow orders, that's it, what really happened is not our concern, at least not for now."

"Keep your head low, be quiet, and follow orders, doing anything else is merely a quick way to die." The old soldier said while the young soldier looked up and stared into his eyes.

"Do you know anything about what has happened?"

"Do you maybe know someone who does?"

"What about the other soldiers, do you guys like to meet up and discuss this, you did say that this is not a good place to say such things, so where is a good place to do so?"

"What, what is up with, wait, who the hell are you?!" The old soldier suddenly opened his eyes wide as he stared at the young soldier before attempting to run away.

His mouth was covered by a hand as a dagger was put in his throat.

"Damn, I really messed it up, way too eager to ask those questions." The young soldier suddenly said in a nonchalant manner before sighing.

"Well, there's more than enough of you bastards to make these kinds of mistakes anyway." The man said before moving the dagger across the old soldier's throat, splitting it open.

"It's just a bother to do so each time I kill you guys, but I do love killing you bastards so it's not a problem." The young soldier smiled before licking the blood of the dagger and showing an intoxicated expression.

"Well, lemme just hide you real quick before going to find some more of you." The soldier said as he crouched down and grabbed the motionless body of the old soldier whose eyes were still wide open in disbelief.

"You have killed someone during your first day again." A cold voice said as the young man suddenly stopped and showed an expression of fear on his face.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I just started talking a bit too much and-" The shadowy figure that had appeared from behind raised his arm and stopped the young man from speaking before walking closer to him.

"Remember, we are the shadow that protects the royal family, those that keep all that would try to harm the kingdom and our masters away."

"Killing such bastards is not the problem, but you are simply not doing your task properly."

"Do you even remember your task, the one given to you 4 days ago?"

"Yes sir, infiltrate the army and find information about the soldiers and their thoughts about the whole ordeal the kingdom is going through."

"I am tasked with doing my best to find their meeting place."

"Correct, if the king is to preserve his rule and make sure that the people are not unruly, we need to weed out those that are not loyal, killing them is a must, but finding their whereabouts is the first and most important part of the mission, I will give you another chance, if you mess it up again like before, you will be disposed of as well." The shadowy figure said before disappearing from the spot, only leaving a small trail of smoke that was dispersed around the area.

The young soldier simply stared in the distance before gulping and grabbing the body of the dead old soldier in order to hide it. He then placed a small device on the body, which would give the signal to the rest of the organization that a corpse was there, and those responsible for cleaning things up would arrive there in mere minutes.

The young man then walked around the city, trying to find some other teams in order to blend in with them and get some info. As he was doing so, the ground suddenly started to shake.

The shaking was at first incredibly weak and barely noticeable, even he, a high leveled person below Tier I wasn't able to feel it in the beginning, but as it grew in intensity and power, he had to stop as he wondered what the hell was happening.

The shaking got worse and soon it was hard for the young man to even stand properly. He didn't know what the hell was going on, but he tried to move and get away from the area.

Suddenly the ground below him burst open as a monster came out. The initial explosion almost killed the young man, while the giant claws of the monster that came right after it made him into minced meat.

The monster got out of the hole it had created, and a couple of figures followed right after it.

"Damn, it really worked!" One of the generals said as he looked around the area, fully aware that he and the others had made it inside the capital.

"Of course it worked, if an aerial attack is impossible, then attacking from below is the only option if we were to stay hidden," Licht said with a bored expression on his face before looking behind him.

The giant monster that Reign and Eisenhorn had beaten up and technically tamed was a giant mole. It had spikes growing out of its body and its mouth was many times larger than it should be, but it was a mole and it was incredibly proficient at digging.

That was the main reason why the two had such a hard time catching and hitting the monster. It moved below the ground by digging and that was the main reason why Eisenhorn and Reign had such a hard time hitting it.

Even following it was difficult since the tremors it produced would get weaker the deeper inside the monster went, making it very hard to track. Without Reign's ability to sense mana that was much stronger than any other person's, they would have surely lost track of the monster before.

"Alright, let's move, we have to reach the royal palace immediately before splitting up." Reign said as they all nodded and charged at the palace.

Their entry was almost perfect, but after the explosion that occurred after the monster had come out to the surface, their location was shown to everyone and it was a matter of time before the enemy would realize what was happening.
