Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

This time, the target, Dark Crow, lives in a mansion in the old city.

According to the information, Murkrow is quite powerful and acts cautiously. No matter where he goes, he will be followed by a gym leader-level Crow Chief and a Umbreon, who will guard him closely throughout the journey.

In this regard.

Feng has made careful arrangements and plans for today's assassination.

Not only did he have the help of Silver Face and the Earl, he also secretly took control of one of Dark Crow's men when he was out, thus gaining a valuable insider.

According to Dark Crow's men, Feng knew some more detailed information beyond the data.

Dark Crow is a person who cherishes his life to the extreme.

He has a regular daily routine and goes to bed in the large bedroom on the third floor of the mansion at night. Before going to bed, someone will be sent to check the room to prevent bombs or other dangerous items from being placed in it.

In daily life, they are even more suspicious and will not let their guard down towards the people around them. Before eating, they will test for poison first and will only start eating after confirming that it is correct.

Therefore, even if you send an insider to assassinate someone, it will basically not succeed.

However, there is good news.

Regardless of Nishikawa Aoi's information or the insider's explanation, among the Pokémon that Murkrow has on the surface, there are no psychic-type Pokémon that can see through shadows or dog-type Pokémon with a keen sense of smell.

Therefore, Feng planned to sneak in and do it himself.

The ideal situation is to quietly get rid of it while it is sleeping.

The second is that if the infiltration fails and is discovered, then you can only escape. If you fight head-on without exposing the Moon Bear, it will be difficult for the Shield Sword Monster to fight three at once.

In the worst case scenario, Murkrow happens to have a Pokémon that can prevent Feng from escaping, forcing Feng to fight head-on. Not only does he have to deal with Murkrow's three gym leader-level Pokémon, but he also has to face the layers of siege from his subordinates.

In the second and third situations, Silverface and the Earl will be activated to relieve some of Feng's pressure and attract the attention of Dark Crow's men.

However, Feng still hopes to succeed in one go and sneak in smoothly to complete the assassination.

……

On the roof of an old building a few hundred meters away from the mansion, three figures wrapped tightly in black robes were looking at the mansion below.

Their figures were hidden in the darkness, appearing and disappearing, as if blending into the night.

Feng stood among the three people, his eyes hidden in the shadow of the black robe flashing with a cold light, and in his hand he was holding a topographic map of the mansion that he had finally compiled from the insider.

He raised his hand and gently tapped a few key locations on the map. Then he turned to look at the other two people beside him and said in a low voice, "Silverface, Earl, you two will go to the east and west locations respectively and wait. As soon as you hear the sound of fierce fighting coming from the mansion, take action immediately."

Having said that, Feng paused briefly, his eyes sweeping over the two people in front of him one by one, his tone becoming particularly serious: "Remember, the primary task of this operation is to entangle and delay the enemy. You must delay the enemy's elite combat power as much as possible. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Captain!" Silver-faced replied respectfully, his voice deep and powerful, revealing a determination to carry out orders resolutely.

"Please rest assured, Lord Shadow." The Earl also echoed and bowed slightly to indicate that he was clear about the mission requirements.

After giving orders to his two loyal subordinates, Feng slowly raised his head and looked at the gloomy and solemn western-style building in the distance with his eyes as sharp as torches.

"Snapped"

After a crisp snap of fingers, a dark crow with a mysterious blue light in its eyes flapped its wings and flew down from a nearby tree, landing lightly on the fence on the roof in front of Feng.

"quack"

Murkrow used his shiny black wings to take off the hat on his head, bowed slightly, and performed a standard etiquette towards Feng, his movements as elegant as a well-trained gentleman.

"Ah."

Feng nodded slightly, and his body began to sink gradually, as if being pulled into the shadow of the ground by an invisible force. Then, the black shadow flashed and hid in the shadow under the feathers of the Dark Crow.

Murkrow put his hat back on, glanced down, and finally glanced at Silverface and the Earl who were still bowing their heads respectfully.

"Gah-"

It let out a low cry, then suddenly spread its wings and flew towards the mansion like a black lightning.

Only a black feather was left, floating down from the sky...

……

As night falls, the surrounding trees sway in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if whispering ancient secrets.

Deep in the old city, a slightly dilapidated Western-style house stands alone.

The exterior walls of the mansion are covered with ivy, which cast mottled shadows in the moonlight, adding a touch of mystery.

The towering spire points to the night sky, the windows are closed, and a faint light shines from behind the heavy curtains.

This was purchased by Dark Crow Flower at a high price from the descendant of a fallen noble. After a slight renovation, he moved in and it became the headquarters of the Black Crows.

On the stone steps in front of the gate, several figures can be vaguely seen patrolling. They have black turbans on their heads and hold flashlights. Beside them are several large wolfhounds with ferocious expressions, sniffing around from time to time to check the surroundings, and are on duty here.

The high walls surrounding the mansion were covered with barbed wire, which shone coldly in the night, warning any invaders who attempted to cross.

In the corners of the wall, several high-hanging searchlights swept across from time to time, casting light on every inch of the wall to ensure that there were no blind spots.

On the roof of the mansion, there are several Murkrows and Crow Heads. These birds sit there motionless, as if they have merged with the mansion and become the unique sculptures of the building.

The entire mansion appears particularly quiet and solemn at night. It is like an isolated island surrounded by the dark ocean.

Available at this time.

An unexpected dark crow flew to the vicinity of the mansion under the cover of night, circling around it again and again.

Sometimes it flew high, sometimes it flew low, its wings flapping creating a slight airflow but without making a sound. Its eyes were sharp and focused, staring at the mansion below, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, several bright searchlights came from the sky, brushing against the shadow of the Murkrow and shooting into the darkness behind it, but none of them illuminated this cunning bird that was deliberately avoiding it.

After figuring out the pattern of the searchlight, Murkrow nimbly dodged and flew through the iron fence in the dark gap, flying towards the mansion inside.

The guards patrolling below with their large wolfhounds were completely unaware of this and continued to carry out their night duty according to their usual route. They yawned sleepily and complained about the increasingly cold weather.

Seeing that the roof of the mansion was already within reach, Dark Crow showed a look of success in his eyes. He flapped his wings a little harder and rushed forward at a faster speed.

"Gah——!"

Suddenly, a loud and unpleasant cry came abruptly from the roof, as if it came from the abyss, able to penetrate the human soul, making people feel goosebumps all over their body just by hearing it.

At the same time, a rapid whistling sound was heard in the air!

"click"

Then, Murkrow felt a sudden pain in its wings. Before it passed out, it only saw a broken wing, blood splattering everywhere, feathers falling in disorder, and...

On the spire at the top of the mansion, a terrifying crow head lit up with scarlet eyes.
