Evening.
Several pitch-black figures were carefully wandering through the Northern Country's imperial palace, observing their surroundings every few steps to see if anyone was passing by.
"As expected, just as we observed earlier, this is the time when there are the fewest people in the imperial palace..."
"Heh, that little Empress really likes hosting banquets. In just one month, she has already held nearly eight banquets. Does she like banquets that much?"
"It seems to be because of a promise... She promised that Daughter of the Sea Hysilens would hold a celebration after every victory won? But I don't know the specifics, and investigating such intelligence is meaningless anyway."
Cerydra was holding a celebration with the Golden Descendantss in the Cloud Stone Palace. For certain special individuals, this was the best opportunity!
The followers who had come to the Northern Country from the resistance along with Barbara and the others quickly seized this vital piece of information and chose to set the time of the assassination for the evening.
As for the midnight time that Barbara had mentioned... that was, of course, a lie!
The higher-ups of the resistance had long considered the possibility of the Assassination Society betraying them, so they would never tell them the true intelligence. They would even use those girls to pass false information to Cerydra to confuse the real assassination time.
On the front lines, neither the Empire nor the resistance had the confidence to fight against the Northern Territory Empire, so the only way they could win was to use one method... Assassination!
Of course, for a powerhouse, most assassination methods were ineffective because the bodies of some powerhouses could even completely immunize themselves against blades; there was simply no way to kill them.
Even if vulnerable areas like the eyes or throat were attacked, they could still survive unscathed.
After careful consideration, the resistance chose the most secure method: poisoning!
Several resistance killers quickly followed the route in their memory and found the location of the kitchen. Aside from the chefs, there were basically no defensive measures here, making it very easy to mix the poison into the food.
"Is this the poison the leader prepared? Just looking at it makes one's heart race!"
One of the killers took out a translucent bottle from their waist, looking at the poison inside with some trepidation.
It was no ordinary poison, but a new type of poison created by mixing over a hundred different poisons together and testing them. It looked like an envoy of chaos, capable of taking away living creatures at any moment...
Considering Cerydra's special status, the resistance could absolutely not use ordinary poison; who knew if those common poisons would have any effect on her?
Therefore, they abandoned the stealth aspect of the poison, not crafting it into a colorless and odorless state, but keeping it in its most primitive, chaotic state... Only in this way could the poison's effect be maximized!
"It's done..."
After confirming that no one noticed them, the killer quickly dripped the poison into the most ornate cup. Needless to say, this was definitely the fine wine intended for Caesar.
"I believe that after drinking this glass of wine, Cerydra will definitely show an expression we can't imagine!"
