Trash of the Count's Family

TCF2-33

The Black Tree attack team.

The person in front of the team was Chief Eaen.

- Chief, are you on the move?

“Yes sir.”

Eaen, who had a bandana over her head like a hood, seemed to have a different skin color.

Her skin was now dark brown.

She was a mixed child between a Dark Elf and a human.

She was a Chief but her battle abilities were among the highest of the reconnaissance side.

“Her Royal Highness brought back quite the item.”

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiing.

Eaen had a video communication device being powered by black magic in one hand and a watch-like bracelet on the other hand.

The bracelet was like a compass, pointing toward the specific direction.

- Report immediately if any unexpected situations occur.

“Yes, Marquis-nim.”

Eaen did not turn off the video communication device and wore it like a necklace.

It was a bit heavy but she had no choice.

‘Eaen.’

‘Yes, uncle.’

‘...Heni Wishrop and her people, especially the person you saw earlier...you must record everything that person does on the video communication device.’

‘I understand.’

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiing--

Eaen pointed to a side.

It was in the southwest direction.

Tatatap-

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

A Dark Elf kicked off the ground and ran toward that direction.

A black mage caused a gust of wind from right behind Eaen and rushed past her as well.

The attack team’s moving speed immediately increased after her chat with the Marquis.

‘Nobody is falling behind.’

However, not a single one was unable to keep up with them.

There were about 30 core members of Precinct 9's reconnaissance team.

A lot of people had died in the past half year but these were the skilled elites who had managed to survive until now.

‘...This is unexpected from the candidates though. I guess they are all skilled as well.’

Of course, none of the candidates were falling behind either.

‘About ten people.’

Quite a lot of people had joined the attack team.

‘There aren't any deadbeats either.’

The candidates joined with some of their helpers.

‘Candidate 12 and helper, candidate 2, candidate 4 and helper, candidate 9-’

The information about the different candidates was being organized in her mind.

Fourth Imperial Prince Noi and one of his subordinates.

Zero and two of his subordinates.

‘And-’

Eaen thought about the rear of the attack team.

‘Heni Wishrop and First Imperial Prince Sanders.’

Their groups were stationed in the back.

First Imperial Prince Sanders even had his helpers, first young lady Huayans, a Dragon, and a mysterious helper.

Behind them were Heni Wishrop and her subordinate, the sword master.

‘No, he is not her subordinate. They are comrades.’

Someone else was their leader.

The person she had assumed was the Chief Advisor...

That man was the leader.

‘That leader and the other person were supposedly going to follow us from a distance.’

Marquis Helson had given Eaen some information.

‘That person is the purifier. He has a Dragon with him and the power of a god.’

Eaen had almost snorted when she heard the power of a god.

‘God?

There is no such thing.

If there is, why didn't they do anything until the world ended up like this?’

Eaen had lost her Dark Elf father and her mother, Marquis Helson's distant relative, to dead mana and mutant monsters.

‘The purifier? That name is not even funny.’

She had heard that the person responsible for that red pillar of fire was this so-called purifier, but Eaen could not believe it as easily as the Marquis had done.

However, it wasn't that she did not believe it at all.

‘...Uncle is not someone who would believe something without any proof.’

Unlike how he looked, Marquis Helson was smarter than most chiefs and was especially quick at understanding situations.

‘Let’s focus on getting rid of the monster for now.’

Eaen pushed aside the other thoughts on her mind.

She peeked behind her. She could see the candidates moving with their own groups and chatting with each other but decided not to pay attention to it as they were still within the range of the formation.

Everything would happen once they got to the monster, this black tree.

This was the reason Eaen did her best to not pay any attention to the fact that first young lady Huayans was approaching the sword master.
