During the night of the next day, Vanessa Cromwell stood in front of 100 people wearing dark clothing and stared at them.
"As specially trained assassins by me, the mission you have tonight is to assassinate every person who stands up to you in this raid. Anyone who tries to hide these vampires will be killed, even if they belong to the nobility. With that said, start moving, the rest of the plan has already been explained to you.
I will only say that if one of you is a traitor, I will take care of pulling out his guts myself and display him for shame at the main gate of the city." After saying this, the people before her disappeared without a sound.
At the same time, Vanessa and Caroline disappeared and appeared at the top of a large building.
Vanessa looked over the city and noticed many people running through the shadows, heading for the slums.
The moonlight illuminated Vanessa's body at that moment.
If there is anything peculiar about Vanessa Cromwell, it is how she dresses. No matter if she is sitting on her princess throne or in her room, even if she is on a critical mission like this one, she always wears elegant dresses of the ancient era, even to fight.
Today, she was wearing a blood-red black dress with gold trim and gold ornaments on her hands and neck. A ribbon of the same color tied her hair in a ponytail. It was not a provocative dress; it was a full bodycon dress that covered her completely. Over the dress, she wore an elegant jacket that looked extremely expensive, the same color as the dress, with gold trim.
No matter how it looked, that dress seemed extremely uncomfortable to fight in and didn't even seem appropriate for an occasion like this, where they must infiltrate.
Still, it looked exquisite on her, highlighting her beautiful blue eyes and yellow hair, as the color of the dress made them more evident.
It looked like an extravagant and difficult dress to wear, but she didn't mind. She was extremely comfortable wearing it, as it was what she liked to wear.
"Caroline, are the rest of the troops in position?" Vanessa asked, looking out over the illuminated city.
"Yes, miss. They are all ready to attack at the agreed time. I think it's a good idea for us to go to the site to look at everything first hand. Also, the nobles you told me in the morning have been marked as possible traitors, and their mansions have been surrounded; they are all waiting for the right moment to attack."
Vanessa nodded in return. "Well, let's go then." After saying this, she ran towards the slums.
As usual, the place felt a bit lonely, and many of Vanessa's people had already infiltrated the houses to look for information. Soon, a few houses were waiting for the investigation.
From the top of one of them, Vanessa looked doubtfully at a certain house.
"In that house, there were powerful people," Vanessa said suddenly.
"Why do you say so, miss? It's one of the houses farthest from our target, which is the main square in this area."
"Although they did a good job trying to hide everything, several people trained there, and they were strong. The yard of that house is partially destroyed underneath." The moment Vanessa said this, she frowned and jumped into the air extremely fast.
"A woman..." Vanessa grabbed the body by the hair and lifted it up.
It was totally lifeless, with all its bones broken.
"A vampire?"
"Yes, but she was weak. Looks like the one we're up against, it knows how to use its head. This thing was a decoy. I just don't understand what for." Vanessa said and had a bad feeling.
Still, she suddenly heard a scream behind her. That terrifying scream made her turn around and run over there quickly.
She was not the only one; Caroline and the rest of Vanessa's subordinates also ran there.
Some were already nearby and had taken over the whole square, arresting several people. But no one was a vampire.
That scream came from one side of the square, in one of the dark alleys of the place.
As soon as Vanessa got there, she didn't hear anyone and simply ran to where a woman's body was, lying on the ground.
"Did she commit suicide?" many were in shock after seeing this.
The woman lying there had several deep cuts on her body; perhaps it was those blows that made her scream, as they were fresh.
Even so, she also had a fine cut on her neck, made with a sword in her hand, which showed that she had committed suicide.
She was not just any woman; she was a vampire.
While everyone was trying to investigate the terrain, Vanessa had a dark look on her face.
She didn't know why, but she had a hunch she was being taunted.
And soon, various screams reached her ear from different city sections. These screams, no matter what, were being amplified with magic.
It made her blood burn.
All the points where those screams were coming from were almost opposite each other in the city.
Her beautiful blue eyes flashed with anger, and she looked at Caroline. "You go to those two points. I'm going to the ones in the other region. Listen carefully, Caroline Felliam. These bastards are mocking me; I won't accept anything less than a resounding victory!" she snarled in great anger.
