What happened to the Delta Force? It turned into Arknights!

For a fleeting moment, Han Fei considered pulling out his longbow and firing a warning arrow at them.

But on second thought, Han Fei decided it was best not to court disaster.

The reason Luna, a spacecraft in human spaceflight, dares to openly issue warnings is because it actually launched them.

But why should I? I didn't even open it.

Just then, a very light footstep came from behind. Han Fei turned around and saw that it was Texas.

Han Fei asked, "Why did you come out?"

"Because you haven't come back."

Texas said softly, "Boss, can't you see clearly?"

"Uh, indeed."

Han Fei scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He thought to himself, "I didn't even come to the Dark Night Dam, so why would I need a night vision headset?"

“There’s a strange bunch of guys down there.”

Texas's gaze naturally fell downwards as she described, "They have no horns, and they are wrapped in a black, tight-fitting suit, so tightly that you can't see any distinguishing features."

"Huh?"

Han Fei raised an eyebrow and said softly, "This description sounds familiar."

Volume 1: Chapter 139 Lamaren

Wolves have excellent night vision, and Luper's character is based on a wolf.

The current environment was undoubtedly dark for Han Fei, but for Texas, it was far from being so dark that he couldn't see anything.

Han Fei naturally trusted Texas, so much so that after hearing her description, a very powerful group immediately popped into Han Fei's mind.

—The Corpse-Wrapped Death Squad.

The shrouded assassins are undoubtedly a mysterious group. They voluntarily cut off their horns, wrap their bodies, and disfigure themselves, becoming unrecognizable to everyone.

All for the purpose of assassinating their demon king.

They are virtually unknown on Terra, unlike the top combat forces of other countries who are renowned.

However, this mysterious group managed to wear down Theresa through sheer numbers.

These shrouded warriors deserve the name of elite; each of them was a renowned hero of Kazdel before becoming shrouded warriors, a warrior in past battles.

There's a saying that each of these shrouded assassins is at the level of a Kazdel general, the kind who sits at the same table as Manfred.

That's why they were able to overwhelm Theresa with sheer numbers.

Texas noticed Han Fei's thoughtful expression and asked softly, "It seems you've already made a deduction."

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, these people should be the Corpse-Wrapped Death Warriors," Han Fei replied in a low voice.

"Wrapped-up assassins?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Texas's eyes; she didn't know what this group was.

Han Fei explained, "It's a group of assassins who volunteered to form a team of top Sarkaz fighters."

"I don't understand these things, but boss, what do you mean..."

Texas paused, then asked quietly, "We're not going to fight, right?"

"Ah."

Han Fei nodded slightly. "There's no need."

Although there has always been a saying that there are 13 shrouded corpses, in fact, judging from the plot, whether it is the text description or the plot performance, there have never been more than 13 shrouded corpses.

The number 13 is more of a symbolic representation, signifying that these shrouded warriors considered themselves traitors, having betrayed their king.

Although Han Fei couldn't see clearly what was happening below, judging from the footsteps, it wasn't hard to guess that there were definitely more than 13 people below.

Moreover, it was nighttime, and visibility was extremely low, so Han Fei couldn't see anything at all.

In this situation, fighting with the shrouded assassins is like entering a dark dam without night vision and insisting on going to war with the Sixth Team in the wild.

It's completely unnecessary.

"oh, I understand now."

Texas looked down and said softly, "Then, boss, you can go back first. I'll keep an eye on things here. If they discover us and try to harm us, I can find out immediately and notify you."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Han Fei agreed. He figured he was blind to the situation if he stayed outside, so it was better to hand it over to Texas.

So Han Fei turned around and tiptoed back into the cave.

As soon as Han Fei returned, the two angel sisters looked over.

Remianne asked softly, "What happened outside?"

“A troop is passing by.” Han Fei sat down next to Remy An. “If I’m not mistaken, it’s Regent Theresis’s men. It would be troublesome if we fought, so let’s hold back for now.”

Remi'an nodded noncommittally.

Remuel said softly, "Then boss, shall we just not do anything?"

"Yes, it's best to remain still." Han Fei nodded.

Ines, however, was quite interested in Han Fei's explanation and asked, "How were you able to determine that they were Therese's people? Although most Sarkaz do support the Regent, Princess Theresa also has Sarkaz followers around her."

"It's simple, because they are shrouded-in-shell assassins," Han Fei said.

"Wrapped-up assassins?"

Ines was somewhat puzzled.

This was a secret even in Kazdel, and Ines was unaware of it.

After all, how can you make the whole world know about a suicide squad?

"The secret force that Theresis created, every single one of its soldiers is a hero from Kazdel's past, the kind of hero who has achieved great success in battle."

Han Fei said slowly and deliberately, "And now, these heroes, for the sake of Kazdel's future, have volunteered to become nameless assassins to assassinate your Demon King."

Ines didn't rush to question the veracity of these words. A scrutinizing light flickered in her eyes as she stared at Han Fei with a complex expression, saying:

"You're behaving very strangely."

Ines stared into Han Fei's eyes: "You clearly acted as if you were completely unfamiliar with Kazdel, you couldn't even figure out where you were going, but in certain subtle details, you had insights that even surprised me."

"Who are you?"

"you guess?"

Han Fei raised an eyebrow, looking at Ines with amusement.

Ines shook her head and said calmly, "I can't guess, I can't see through you."

She really couldn't guess Han Fei's identity. This man was too contradictory. He acted like a newcomer, and even without her guidance, he would have gone astray.

But in those details, his understanding of Kazdel was like that of a local who had lived there for many years.

Such a contrast was truly perplexing to Ines, and at the same time, it inevitably aroused a sense of curiosity about Han Fei.

"Forget it if you can't guess."

Han Fei waved his hand, not intending to waste too much time on this issue.

There's no need to explain; it would be troublesome to explain anyway.

Seeing that Han Fei didn't want to say more, Ines wisely didn't dwell on the matter and returned to the previous topic, saying:

"You're saying they're going to assassinate Princess Theresa?"

"uh-huh?"

Han Fei looked at Ines with interest and said, "You're worried about her."

Strictly speaking, Ines was also on Theresa's side.

However, this woman didn't want to get too involved or get embroiled in this mess, so she continued to operate in Kazdel as a mercenary.

This is where it differs significantly from W.

However, W immediately pledged his loyalty upon meeting Theresa and became one of Theresa's subordinates.

W is a true Theresa fan, not a mercenary like Ines who's on the fringes.

After a moment of silence, Ines said, "Yes, Princess Theresa is a good person, and I don't want her to get hurt."

"You should worry about yourself first, rather than her."

Han Fei waved his hand, then said, "However, if I have the chance, I would like to go to the Tower of Babel. Perhaps you can meet your prince there."

He still has a Babel Tower card that he hasn't used yet. Now that he's come all the way to the top-secret Bakshi Tower, he should at least go inside and have a bite, right?

Ines looked at Han Fei without speaking, seemingly assessing the purpose behind his words.

Han Fei, however, didn't take it seriously and waved his hand, saying, "I'll need you to lead the way then."

“If you insist, I can take you to see Princess Theresa,” Ines said, “but I cannot guarantee whether Her Highness will be willing to see you.”

Ines didn’t seem to feel too much pressure when she said this.

She didn't think Han Fei and his group posed a threat to Theresa.

Not to mention the elite operators in the Tower of Babel, Theresa herself is not someone Han Fei can easily control.

That was a true demon king, the pinnacle of Kazdel.

"So having a guide is definitely not bad," Han Fei said with a smile.

A short while later, Texas returned and reported, "Those people have gone far away, they..."

Texas paused, then continued, "I suspect they may have discovered us, but their purpose is clear, and they haven't stopped because of our presence."

"As expected."

Han Fei was not particularly surprised by the findings from Texas.

Analyzing the situation, it's not hard to see that we're now in the later stages of the war; the deployment of the shrouded-body assassins means that the two kings have reached the point where they must behead each other.

The shrouded assassins were facing a tight schedule and a heavy mission. Their objective was to assassinate Theresa. Given the importance of the mission, it was perfectly reasonable for them to avoid blocking the way and wasting time on the road.

Now that the assassins were far away, Han Fei said, "Since there's nothing to do, let's take turns keeping watch tonight. I'll keep watch for the second half of the night, and Xiao Le, you keep watch for the first half."

"It's getting late, everyone take turns resting and getting some rest, we still have to travel tomorrow."

"it is good."

Remy accepted the night watch with a smile.

…………

Silent all night.

The next day, as the sun rose, Han Fei and his group once again embarked on their journey.

It's unclear whether the shrouded assassins casually killed a few waves as they passed by, or it was simply good luck.

Apart from encountering a group of ignorant Sarkaz people shortly after setting off, Han Fei didn't encounter any enemies along the way for the next two hours.

As the group trekked, the blue marker drew ever closer, until, when they were less than 500 meters away, a mature female voice suddenly appeared in Han Fei's ear:

"Traveler from afar, the road ahead is not open to the public. Please turn back."

The voice was melodious, carrying a mature charm that had been refined by time, and it sounded very pleasant.

Han Fei looked around but didn't see the woman who was supposed to speak, so he had no choice but to call out loudly:

"I'm sorry to bother you, but we're a delivery person. A client asked us to deliver a box of supplies to the valley. We'd appreciate it if you could let us through. We'll leave as soon as we drop off the goods."

The woman's voice remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "So, who is the client?"

"Uh, I don't know."

Han Fei answered truthfully, "This is an anonymous commission. I only know that the client was in a hurry and gave an expedited order. I know nothing else."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall woman wearing a veil and an elaborate black dress appeared in Han Fei's line of sight.

The moment Han Fei saw her, he realized her identity—Ramalen Ducanfaris, the current ruler of the Banshee King's Court.

Han Fei's first impression of this ruler of the royal court was quite simple.
