Ice Ridge Wasteland, midnight, heavy fog.
A rusty steam-powered personnel carrier moved quietly under the cover of dense fog and night. The steel track rolled over leaving a deep plow mark on the frozen soil.
In the last section of the carriage, more than twenty men in thief costumes crowded here.
The air is filled with the turbid smell of sweat and tobacco.
"S... S-level mission?!"
"No way...how could we participate in such a high-level mission?"
"Captain Tiger, have you made a mistake? This time the mission is actually to sneak into the burning steel fort' to assassinate an imperial baron?"
"I heard that Marquis Barrett, the lord of'Burning Steel Fort'... Is [Big Demon Hunter] who has awakened the four-stage gene lock and no one dares to make trouble in his territory..."
"Yeah, Captain. And even though the target Doctor Maureen is only a baron, he is an official nobleman of the Empire after all. Killing him, the Imperial Court will directly intervene in the investigation... Will, we [Weasel Thief Group] Cause trouble?"
In the carriage, the trainee assassins of the "Weasel Thief Group" did not expect that the first mission they performed would encounter the most dangerous "S" level mission in the group!
I heard...the death rate of those who are extraordinary in this task is extremely high, let alone these rookies who have not yet awakened.
Hearing this caution, a handsome brunette boy in the corner made his eyelids twitch.
As expected his luck since crossing over has been as bad as ever.
Ren felt that he was probably the unluckiest traverser.
A year ago he worked overtime for half a month until the early hours of the morning. He woke up into this strange world, and his soul fell on a fifteen-year-old Renner Hermes who had fled.
He originally thought that it would be very peaceful, completely free from the fate of social creatures. Never thought that on the first day of coming to this misty world he was almost bitten to death by a "big rabbit" full of teeth on this endless wasteland!
Later, he learned that this is one of the creatures at the bottom of the food chain on the wasteland-the dog rabbit, a carnivorous rabbit.
He only knew that he had come to a fierce magical world. Then, before being bitten to death by the rabbit, he saw a scene that he will never forget.
Accompanied by a violent roar, a steel castle with exaggerated metal tracks and wheels, driven by a steam engine broke into the field of vision roughly like a monster from the mist.
On the castle, a hooded assassin jumped down from a ten-story tower and cut the neck of the calf-sized evil rabbit with a single knife.
Ren was rescued.
Originally he thought he was about to turn around but he didn't expect it to be the beginning of a nightmare.
This wicked "Weasel Monster Thieves Group" is a concentration of robbers who do no evil!
They recruited orphans from everywhere, controlled them with poison, and trained them into cold-blooded professional thieves and assassins.
In this way, Ren received nearly a year of cruel training at the base of the "Weasel Thief Group" and became a [trainee assassin].
Today, he was out of the new training base for the first time.
Hmm... the mission is to destroy the door.
Tiger, the captain of the 19th Division and a new trainer instructor, yelled: "Hey, hey... kids, be quiet!"
The mission's level reached the highest level S which indeed exceeded everyone's expectations.
The trainee assassins in the carriage gradually turned into panic.
Tiger narrowed his mouth and said, "Don't worry. Although there is a certain risk in this mission, Chief Quinn will also participate. There won't be any problem...you guys follow along. Merit points are promising."
When the instructor said this, the newcomers were overjoyed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh really... Chief Quinn will also participate in this mission?"
"Then there must be no problem now. With the presence of a leader as powerful, no task is a problem."
"Let me just say, we newcomers can't participate in such an important task..."
"..."
When Renn heard this his frowning brows also relaxed.
Finally, the "bad luck" cloud in his heart also disappeared, and he no longer felt that this was a death train.
The Royal Family of the Omar Empire offered a reward of 16 million Lisos for the wanted criminal-[One-eyed Wolf] Quinn which is strong and outrageous giving people a full sense of security. He watched the guy jump from a cliff several hundred meters high without any problems and he could easily pierce the steel plate with a dagger.
At this time, another newcomer curiously asked: "Captain Tiger, what is so special about that Baron Maureen? It's worth the client's expense. Please let us sneak into the burning steel fort' to destroy the door.
Is not just someone else, it is also the doubt in Renn's heart.
There is something unusual about this mission.
It stands to reason that their group of strange thieves hunting in the wasteland would never risk sneaking into a large territory to assassinate a nobleman.
Not to mention that the task will be extremely difficult, even if it succeeds, it will be endlessly pursued and killed by the Omar Empire.
Even if the employer is willing to pay a high price to entrust, the sane thief group didn't dare to accept it.
But this time the leader Quinn not only took over the task but also participated in it personally, which seemed extremely abnormal.
Raine speculated that there must be some big secret hidden in the "Baron Morin" that would allow Quinn to take the risk...
"Who knows? I heard that he is a very rich surgeon..."
Tiger replied indifferently as if it made no difference to kill anyone. shrugged, and he added: "Also, for us, it doesn't matter whether he kills or seeks money, what's the difference. Isn't it all for money?"
"Too shameless..."
"Shhh... stop talking, put on the gas mask, and get out of the car!"
"Yes, Captain."
"..."
As soon as Tiger's voice fell there was no more sound in the carriage.
These assassins in light leather armor were sorting out the daggers and muskets in their holsters and then quickly put on various gas masks to cover their faces.
In the corner, Renn also wore a black leather crow-shaped gas mask without expression.
In an instant, these young people wearing thick dark wind gas masks turned into cold killing machines, and the carriage was filled with a strong atmosphere of killing.
Not long after, the centipede steam personnel carrier arrived at the scheduled location.
"Everyone get off the car and sneak close to the city wall. Remember none of the people in Morin Manor stays alive!"
"Yes, Chief Quinn!"
"..."
There is a "fog tide" tonight, with heavy fog and low visibility.
A group of people sneaked quietly in the dark.
Renn has become accustomed to this slightly toxin-containing mist.
This is a mysterious world shrouded in dense fog all year round with crises and unknowns hid everywhere.
After a short walk in the thick fog, the huge city that was originally covered by the thick fog was suddenly visible.
Then, he was shocked by the architecture of this world again.
"This...is the human city of this world?!"
Although I have heard about it for a long time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can still be shocked by Ren looking at the steel castle in front of him.
"It's an exaggerated steel miracle. Such a big city is a steam engine-powered steel castle..."
Even if he was used to seeing tall buildings in his previous life, he was shocked by the sight before him.
It has been almost a year since he traveled to this strange world, and it was the first time he saw a large city where humans gathered.
The lights inside the "Burning Steel Fort" were brightly lit and huge searchlights dispelled large areas of fog allowing people to see the giant steel beast with teeth and claws.
The city is very large and roughly equivalent to a county seat in Rennes's previous life but with denser buildings.
Gothic spires are staggered row upon row and the entire city is surrounded by a thirty-story wall. The high-rise buildings in the city are connected by cobweb-like bridges and pipes.
The giant Warhammer with iron arms, the siege angle, the metal cutter with a diameter of tens of meters...and the large-caliber artillery that is several meters short and tens of meters long are particularly striking.
Dense rivets spliced blocks of heavy steel plates together, and huge and exaggerated tracks and wheels held up the entire giant city.
The most bizarre thing is...The buildings in the black city have chimneys towering into the clouds and billowing smoke.
This is a sign of a large steam boiler!
The entire giant city is full of strong industrial wind, like a steel hedgehog, which gives people a very strong visual impact.
This is a steam-steel castle, a real mobile war fortress.
This steel barrier is also the greatest reliance for human beings in this world to survive and multiply in this wasteland full of beasts and monsters!
