Chapter 56 - Chapter 56. Black Blade Assassins

Congratulations! You have successfully extracted from the doujin world "foot of the erdtree": Black Blade Assassins × 100!

Black Blade Assassins, the culprits of the Night of the Black Knives.

During the Night of the Black Knives, these Black Blade Assassins killed Marika's most important offspring—Godwyn.

These Black Blade Assassins are elite killers from the Eternal City.

They stole the Rune of Death and infused it into their daggers, the "Black Knives," thereby gaining terrifying power capable of slaying demigods.

Link doesn't know much about the plot of "Elden Ring."

After all, the old thief Hidetaka Miyazaki likes to create this 'fragmented' narrative, where many plot points can only be guessed by connecting bits of information.

But regarding the Black Blade Assassins, one thing is beyond doubt.

With Ranni's help and instigation, they infiltrated the Lands Between on a deep winter night and simultaneously launched attacks in various places, killing many of Queen Marika's kin and offspring.

These offspring are also considered demigods of the Erdtree, but most of them did not leave their names in the game.

These demigod offspring are most likely not Queen Marika's direct children but possibly grandchildren or even great-grandchildren.

And among these assassinated demigods, the most important victim was Marika's most "perfect" son—Godwyn the Golden.

He was also the primary target of the Black Blade Assassins.

The largest number of assassins targeting Godwyn were led and commanded by Alecto, the leader of the Black Knives. They stealthily infiltrated the Royal Capital, like shadows in the dark night; no one detected their presence before the assassination.

That night, Godwyn in the Royal Capital might have vaguely sensed the strange aura around him, but by the time he discovered himself surrounded by a horde of Black Blade Assassins, it was already too late.

Even Godwyn ultimately died under the assassins' siege, brutally stabbed to death with Black Knives.

Regardless, this is a fact.

These Black Blade Assassins killed a powerful demigod.

This alone is enough to prove the strength and terror of these assassins.

Link slightly narrowed his eyes, an unusual light flickering within them.

With these 100 Black Blade Assassins, certain plans seemed to be able to be put on the agenda earlier.

Congratulations! You have successfully extracted from the doujin world "giant breasted female warrior dogeza hypnosis": Healing Potion × 100!

This is a magical potion that can heal all kinds of external injuries.

As long as one does not die on the spot, or suffer from curses and other "negative buffs," this healing potion can quickly treat simple external injuries.

It can heal wounds and injuries in an instant, pulling dying people back from the brink of death.

This is undoubtedly the best life-saving treasure.

Congratulations! You have successfully extracted from the doujin world "Red-Haired Oni God": Heavy Ballista × 300!

This is a large ballista that can be placed on city walls. Ordinary Soldiers can operate and fire it with a little training.

Its power is astonishing; the arrows whistle out, easily piercing through the seemingly indestructible defenses of magical beasts, delivering a fatal blow.

This is also a rare and valuable weapon for defending cities.

Once the city walls are expanded and repaired, all these heavy ballistas will be placed on the walls.

At that time, if magical beasts dare to attack the city, with such powerful weapons guarding it, there will be a greater chance of victory and confidence... "Alas, it's a bit of a pity. I didn't get a character like Agnes in this draw."

Link gazed at the items obtained from the last draw, shaking his head gently, a hint of regret flashing across his brows.

Although those 100 Black Blade Assassins are also quite good combat power... "Forget it, I can't be too greedy."

Link took a sip of coffee, casting aside the faint, lingering distracting thoughts in his mind.

In the current situation, this was already quite good.

These 100 Black Blade Assassins can be dispatched to stealthily infiltrate the Iron Hammer Territory. If the time is right, they can directly assassinate the lord of the Iron Hammer Territory. With their exquisite skills, they can do it silently and without anyone knowing.

Alternatively, they can be dispersed to secretly monitor the movements of the kingdom. This way, they can grasp the hero's whereabouts and intelligence in advance, achieving self-awareness and knowing the enemy.

As for the heavy ballistas, two can be taken out first and given to the craftsmen in Winterfell City to study, to see if they can replicate them and mass-produce more.

It is imperative to get the city walls' armaments in place before the winter beast tide surges, leaving no opportunity for the beast tide to exploit.

"I must seize the time, every second counts," Link murmured, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes... Days passed one by one.

Hanna was racing against time to produce various goods such as cement, strong liquor, alcohol, and soap, all being continuously manufactured under her arrangements.

At the same time, Link also arranged for the 100 Black Blade Assassins to take their respective positions.

Among them, 30 Black Blade Assassins were responsible for infiltrating the Iron Hammer Territory, on one hand, leaving no stone unturned in collecting all kinds of intelligence; on the other hand, closely monitoring every move of the Iron Hammer Territory's lord, not missing any abnormal behavior.

As for the remaining 70 Black Blade Assassins, they were divided into fourteen groups of five.

Link sent them to the fourteen largest cities in the Human Empire.

They would quietly establish themselves in these cities, setting up a vast and secret underground intelligence network for Link, sparing no effort to collect all kinds of information, providing crucial intelligence support for Link.
