System vs Rebirth

"Gah!" A man got knocked out from behind and fell to the ground, unconscious. The person who knocked him down was none other than Dimitri.

"This makes it 52. To think there are so many spies in this city. If we open the main city, that number is going to surpass it easily. Even during the migration, we have to kill close to a hundred people." Dimitri muttered in a low voice as his shadow began to devour the body.

"Dimitri. Another one for you." Harley walked from the opposite side, dragging another body. He tossed it into the shadow so that Dimitri could absorb him.

"How many spies are there?"

"I don't know. Our job is to kill them so that there won't be any chance of them ruining this ceremony." Harley shook his head. He had lost count of how many people he had eliminated as well.

"Indeed." Dimitri nodded in agreement.

"When is the train supposed to come?"

"Tomorrow morning," Dimitri answered while glancing at the city road. There were a lot of decorations hanging on the building. The street had been cleaned up multiple times.

They had truly rushed the reconstruction project for the sake of tomorrow. The train station was not a big deal, but fortunately, they managed to change the wall to create the fifth gate linking directly to the train station.

"Anyway, I'm going to find another spy if there's any. I'll just tell you about this. Howard has set up all the soldiers at the key points. All the nobles have arrived, except for the royal family."

"Those nobles don't make trouble, right?" Dimitri asked with a grim expression as if he were planning to 'educate' some nobles who couldn't behave properly.

"Right now, they're under control. Howard is the one ensuring it. Luckily, our master's name is also effective, since they don't want to make us their enemy. In fact, I've received the news from several brothels located in those four nobles' territories. They are on their wits end. While we're happy here, they're going to suffer."

"I don't care about what happens outside our territory right now." Dimitri paused for a moment. "After dealing with these spies, I'll greet the Ezenholm family and other important guests."

"Alright. I'll have to go too."

Both of them disappeared into the dark alley.
