"Come out, I got a job for you all to do." After leaving the room, Ellowen goes to a previously prepared secret location, while Thomas mobilises their most loyal guard.
In the dark, one after another, a portal was opened in the void. A group of men covered with a hood walks out.
"What can we help you, my honourable miss?" Their leader came in front of Ellowen and asked.
Ellowen looked at them with a hint of disdain, then said,
"King Aric has decided to clear those traitors between us, we are not suitable to do the work, we need your help. Here is the list."
The man gets over the list from Ellowen and glances at it.
"Not a problem, we will solve it tonight, wait for the good news next morning. Umbravine will clear anything that you worry about."
Ellowen nodded his head, for the Umbravine, she believed in their ability, at least on the assassination. For many years of war with the Thalor, this group of people always assassinated important people of the Karak and they seldom catch and find them.
"Marshal Thomas's armies and guard will assist you all in the periphery, of course, the operation was under the name of arresting the killer, which are you all, beware of that."
The man smiled, returned to his portal, same with the other, and disappeared together in the void.
A few hours later, it was 2 in the morning. For a medieval city such as Karakum, there is usually a curfew after dark, to prevent crime to happen and espionage activity. There is no one left in the street.
A whistle suddenly sounded in the quiet military camp. Soldiers who were still sleeping immediately woke up and got their gears up.
"Quick! Quick! There is some serious assassination happening in the city, everyone prepares yourself, we are going to enter and arrest the killer." The officer kept urging and giving orders to the soldiers.
Soon, the first group of soldiers prepared themselves and marched toward the city. Their mission is to block every street to prevent the killer from escaping. But they quickly something unusual, even the street light that was built by the Soviets was not functioning now.
At the same time, on the west side of the Karakum, there is a mansion built of concrete and steel. From the appearance, it obviously just built for not long. This is the new house of the businessman, the fourth richest person in Karak, Gareth Varnell.
He is a businessman who mainly trades with Valeria, sometimes during the war between Karak and Valaria, he also helps Karak to smuggle important supplies and some technology from Valaria.
Due to his great contribution to the kingdom, he was awarded the noble title, and given the right to participate in making policy. However, by that time, he was still a normal businessman without too much wealth.
Until a year ago, a group of people came to him, saying that they could help him to become the richest person in the Karak, even in Valeria. They showed great sincerity in their first meeting and brought 10 boxes full of gold. Without hesitation, Gareth signs the agreement with them. Later, he knew that these people were called the Soviets. The new country and continent that appear in the north.
The Soviets then bring up the goods, goods that are new for Gareth. From the sense of a businessman, he knew that they were not lying. Things also went as he thought, he quickly became the 4th richest person in the country, because the top 3 richest people were also selling the Soviet's products.
Gareth who was still in sleep wakes up, he feels something wrong in his room. The surroundings were filled with some dark energy.
He quickly stands up and wants to grab his weapon from his drawer, but it's too late, a man is just in front and staring at him the moment he wakes up. The next moment, Gareth only feels that he is flying in the sky and sees his body falling down powerlessly.
Seeing Gareth fall, the man's dark knife disappears in the void, turning around and looking out to the windows. Gareth was not the only one on the list, there are a few more. Big fires already happening in the other parts of the city, and all happened in the Soviet build buildings.
The man only glances at it once, something more special attracts his attention, an eagle flying above the city.
"No. 2, everything was done according to plan, same to No. 4 and 6, they will be finishing their job soon." By this time, another guy came in.
"No, not everything has been done according to the plan, someone has spotted us and watching us. Such a shame that I didn't find out that earlier. Come here, No. 16."
No. 16 was stunned for a moment, but still walked in front.
"Do you see that eagle? Who do you think that it belongs to?"
No. 16 does not understand but still decides to check with his ability. The whites of his eyes turned black, everything in the dark was now so clear for him, just like in the day.
"The eagle... The undead? Why will the undead surveillance things happen here? No, it is not the undead, it's the Soviets."
"Glad that you still recognise the undead power, now, clear the sky. And also, leave two alive and let them run towards the Karak Army, came back to me later, I have a new plan now."
As the order was given, one of the archers aims at the eagle, after a moment of charge, the arrow flies to the sky and automatically follows the eagle. It hits accurately.
Somewhere in Sevastopol, an operator looking at the screen that has turned into static snow.
"Release another, these killers have spotted us."
Soon, another eagle was again released, while the officer beside the operator, writes down something on his note.
"Ability to spot our mind-control animals."
