It's just a Treasure, Alka thought. He didn't want his companions on the ship to lose their lives over such a Treasure.
"I hope you keep your promise."
Having no other option, he had to agree.
General Kriel nodded, then waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him formed a semicircle, cutting off their retreat. The General pointed to the village ruins before them.
"Leave this to the professionals. We will provide security for you."
Heh, security work, Alka scoffed internally.
"By the way, bring out the little one from my shadow, or I can't guarantee anything," the General calmly said.
Alka quickly called out the Puppet Girl hidden in his shadow. Several shadows flashed, and a few assassin-type Puppet Girls instantly detached from his shadow. The General grabbed the last Puppet Girl as she emerged.
Seeing this, Alka and his companions instantly felt the urge to act, everyone reaching for their weapons.
