Chapter 1100 1100. Planning The Infiltration
"Ye… Yes… We rest inside there after our s.h.i.+ft," Yokui answered.
"Which part of the building?" Jack asked
"The one at the right side of the main entrance. See the walls with many doors on the side. The rooms behind those doors have many bunk beds inside," Wotai said.
"Did you go to the other parts of that mansion?"
"No, we stay inside the rooms with bunk beds if we are not working outside."
"Do you know how many demon guards are inside the mansion?"
Yokui and Wotai looked at one another before Yokui answered with uncertainty, "A hundred… I think?"
'Same as what Yvok mentioned,' Jack thought. In this case, that number should not be far from the truth.
"Do you often see new demons? For example, one that you haven't seen the days before," Jack asked. "Or demons that you often see, but never saw again in the following days."
Yokui and Wotai looked at each other again before Yokui answered, "I can't truly tell since most of the demons look alike."
But Wotai added, "However, I once overheard the demon guards talking about a demon mage being sent here during the first few days of our capture. Then a few days later, I saw that demon mage. I can tell because she wore a different attire than the other demons."
"Do you see her come in by land?" Jack asked.
Wotai shook his head.
"Maybe she rolled in when you two were resting inside the building?" Jack said.
"No, the satyrs in the other s.h.i.+ft said that the demon mage also didn't come during their s.h.i.+ft. We talked about it since there was nothing much to talk about. We were wondering how she suddenly appeared out of nowhere."
'This confirms the existence of a teleportation chamber inside the mansion,' Jack thought.
"Have you ever seen the h.e.l.l Baron who lives inside the mansion?" Jack asked.
Yokui and wotai shook their heads.
"Hm… Do you know where he lives inside the mansion?"
"We don't, but some of the satyrs who are in charge of cleaning the interior mentioned that some areas inside the mansion are forbidden. So, I guess one of those areas must be where the h.e.l.l baron resided."
Jack's ears perked up after listening. "Can you tell me which parts of the mansion are forbidden?" He asked.
"I can only tell you what I heard. I can't be sure whether it's true or not," Wotai informed. "One of the forbidden parts that I heard of is the fourth floor of the mansion, which is also the top floor. Then the opposite end to the main entrance on the ground floor. The last one is on the left wing of the third floor."
"For reference, the place where we stayed is the right wing," Yokui added.
"Thank you very much. The two of you have been of great help," Jack said.
"You finish questioning them?" Yrin asked Jack.
Jack nodded.
"They sent a squad to make a search," Tenka, who had been monitoring the activity below, told them.
Jack crawled over and had a peek. He saw around ten demon soldiers going in the direction where he had ridden away on Pandora.
'Good. This confirmed the demon's interest in capturing a second nightmare,' Jack thought.
"Can the two of you return to Pilenus Village by yourselves?" Jack asked Yokui and Wotai.
The two nodded.
"Then go," Jack told them. "We still have things to do here. It's not safe for you to stay with us. That demon squad down there goes in another direction. You shouldn't encounter them by going in the village's direction."
"Thank you, sir, for saving us. We will not forget it."
Jack told them not to mention it and the two started running away.
"So, what's your plan?" Yrin asked Jack.
"I will explain it together with the others."
"The others?"
While Yrin was puzzled, Jack took out his king badge and summoned his royal agents. He called all five of them. Duke Alfredo and Jonathan stayed at the same level as he last saw them. After separating from Jack, the three rookies returned to Jeanny's arranged power-level teams. They had increased another level. Lindsey was level 51. Amy and Jonathan were level 47.
When the five appeared, they were bewildered when they found the place they were summoned to. Among the five, Duke Alfredo and Howard were the most surprised. This was because they could sense the difference in the atmosphere.
Howard was a mythical grade, so his sensitivity to mana was better than the others. As for Duke Alfredo, he was the most experienced and had dabbled in magic for a long time. He also joined Domon's training session for the kingdom soldiers. He had started to develop mana sense.
"Where is this place?" Alfredo asked after sensing the unusual mana around them.
"We are in the underworld," Jack answered.
"Un… Underworld…?"
"You are s.h.i.+tting us, right?" Jonathan asked.
When he saw Jack give him the 'I'm serious' expression, he said, "d.a.m.n it! I have said it before. There is never a dull moment with you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty?" Yrin asked.
"I am a king in one of the countries in the upworld," Jack told her. "You didn't notice my crown?"
"Your crown is different from the ones our kings here wore," Yrin replied.
"Okay, people. I got a plan and I need everyone's help," Jack addressed his royal agents. First, he explained the current situation to them. Afterward, he described his plan.
"You didn't make this arrangement to stop us from going inside the manor, did you?" Tenka asked after hearing about the plan. In the plan, Jack infiltrated the manor by himself.
"You promised to listen to my orders, didn't you? If you have a better plan, I'm all ears," Jack said. "There is a high chance that there is a teleportation chamber inside that mansion. We need to destroy it before we go into a direct conflict with the h.e.l.l baron, and we most likely will because I believe Luna will be where the h.e.l.l baron is. We can't risk Mammon arriving while we are still here. To do that, we need to go in and find this teleportation chamber covertly. I have the highest damage value. I also have mythical-grade helpers in case I met the mythical-grade bodyguards inside the manor. Most of all, I believe I have better experience in infiltration missions."
The experience Jack mentioned was one he gained from playing stealth games, but they didn't need to know about that.
"All right… Let's go with your plan," Tenka said.
