The Regressed Mercenary's Machinations

Chapter 452

Gathros’s suggestion left Raul looking utterly baffled.

“A decoy? Are you saying we should attempt an assassination right now?”

“Something along those lines,” Gathros replied nonchalantly, clearly detached from the complexities of reality.

Raul shook his head, frustration evident in his expression. “Do you honestly think that would work? If it were that simple, we would’ve tried it already. Unless the man is an idiot, luring him out won’t be possible.”

Count Fenris was a Master. To assassinate someone of his caliber, several superhuman-level figures from the Ducal faction would need to work together. Even if they managed to infiltrate and reach their target, Fenris’s forces—composed of highly skilled knights and formidable soldiers—would never make it easy.

“You’re suggesting we create a distraction.”

“Exactly,” Gathros said, his voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. “Remember during the barbarian invasion? Count Fenris himself eventually had to step in. There’s no reason we can’t replicate that. If it weren’t for Amelia, that plan might have succeeded back then.”

“Hmm...”

“We don’t even need to divert the entirety of his northern forces. If Count Fenris leaves his army to rescue his family, that alone counts as a success.”

The idea sounded plausible at first glance, but Raul, considering the objective circumstances and their resources, shook his head again.
