The last person was taking the torches that the sentinels dropped and put out its fire and confirmed that there are no traces left. Then they dragged the bodies into the shadows of the buildings quickly.
However, as expected due to the long silence from the other pair, the 2 sentinels, [N?], turned their glance.
The appearance of their comrades which they glanced at earlier were no longer there. There’s not even light from the torch, only darkness. [Where did those guys go?], the sentinels looked hard with doubtful expressions, they managed to see a shadow that moved faintly in the darkness. It was the figure of something big being dragged.
[Anyway, this is bad!], the sentinel stretched out his hand to reach the alarm whistle which hung on his neck……
In the next instant, a knife was stabbed into the sentinel’s neck, there was no time to scream nor time to feel pain, his consciousness drifted into eternal darkness.
Next to the sentinel which held his whistle, similarly was his comrade who was also stabbed by a knife and dead. At the same time, the torches were put out and they dragged the bodies into the shadows of the building.
Presently, similar slaughters were being carried out everywhere at the Imperial castle.
A lot of stationed soldiers which were in pairs of two or more have already experienced an eternal separation from their bodies, soldiers who were sleeping in the barracks were drugged with sleeping pills made in the Sea of Trees which put them into a deep slumber. Even if the alarm was sounded, they’ll still be sleeping until morning and there fatigue would be fully relieved.
A crescent moon is now floating in the evening sky.
It’s other name was “The 2nd Moon”, where it was so thin that you can kinda see it but kinda not as well. *I don’t think I got this part correct at all lol, 別名“二日月”と呼ばれる新月の翌日に昇る見えるか見えないかくらいの極細の月だ*
It was exactly like the smile of demon.
The people who praised the principle that strength reigned supreme and cursed the weak, seemed to be completely laughed at under the moon.
