Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

“Let’s talk about serious matters.”

Hornheim cleared his throat to mask his embarrassment, and I didn’t want to delve further into that topic either.

“I roughly heard about the situation from an adventurer named Caro Cat, but I still need to confirm the details with Anna-chan.”

Hornheim referring to his own team members as if they were outsiders… But now is not the time to get caught up in that.

“We also received a task, let me share the information with you.”

【Side Quest: Assistance

Maid Anna Anastasia is seeking help to ensure the safety of Amalilis.

Objective: To ensure Amalilis safely leaves the Mikhail Kingdom.

Reward: None (Unknown)

Failure Condition: Death of Amalilis】

“Caro Cat also mentioned that Anna-chan wants our help to transfer Amalilis… We don’t know the specifics, but we will definitely support Anna-chan’s decision.”

“Exactly, and the leader said if it’s for the loli, it’s all worth it.”

“Anna-chan is justice!”

Hornheim’s teammates also actively expressed their enthusiasm.

“Thank you all. This task… might lead to hostility with Duke Bogia.”

“No worries, our reputation is already not great, a few more negative points hardly matter.”

Wow… you guys should really not give up on rehabilitation…

“So, what do you want us to do? Find a breakthrough and break out directly?”

Christiana curiously asked, “Can you guys break out?”

“It’s tough. Not only are the few exits of the 【Barrier】 heavily guarded, but they also include a large number of adventurers. Breaking out in a short time is very difficult, and if Duke Bogia decides to strengthen the 【Barrier】, even if we could fly, we wouldn’t be able to escape. Besides, I’m the only high-ranking member of our team outside.”

“What about the others?”

“They’re either in prison… or waiting to resurrect. The leader said he would come to support us if we can’t hold on, then there’s Faust, who would rather die than go… Ah, the current situation is that our team’s core output is seriously lacking. We can delay by confronting directly, but it’s hard to break through the defense line and carve out a path.”

Hornheim had gathered as much combat power from Anna’s Support Team as possible, but in terms of numbers, they couldn’t hold a candle to the Black Hawk Mercenary Corps.

“Well, a direct confrontation should be avoided. Our mission is to smuggle out.”

“Smuggling…” Hornheim habitually pushed up his glasses, “Is it related to the suspicious Water City Commerce and people we were asked to monitor?”

“Smart. Our plan is to reach an agreement with Enrique from Water City Commerce. You know the convoy for the Third Princess’s marriage is passing through Obey, right? Lili will be hidden in Enrique’s convoy and smuggled out of the city.”

“Enrique… that guy? I don’t remember him being so kind-hearted…”

Although their guilds were different, Hornheim had dealt with Enrique before and didn’t have a good impression.

“Exactly, that guy’s condition is Anna-chan, you understand what this means.”

“This…”

“Anna-chan is going to be a wife? Isn’t that even better… No! How can Anna-chan be taken away by that kind of guy!”

“We only live once, and some people just need a little… help!”

“I’ll kick his butt hard with my boots!”

Christiana’s words immediately ignited the indignation of Hornheim and the others. Hornheim was still calm, but the others were sharpening their knives, eager to form a team and chop Enrique down.

But that was exactly what Christiana wanted to see.

“So, I plan to rescue Anna from Enrique. Will you join us?”

“Anna-chan’s purity shall be protected by us!”

Christiana raised her fingers in a victory sign, now having allies to join her in eloping.

“Actually, Lord Enrique hasn’t specified his request yet…”

“Anna-chan is so cute, if he doesn’t want Anna-chan, he must be gay.”

“Lord Enrique will be arriving shortly. We’re worried he has other plans, so we’ve asked everyone to monitor the surroundings of End.”

“There’s no anomaly around End.”

Hornheim assured there were no unidentified adventurers or other groups outside End. In fact, they were probably the most suspicious group around.

“Lord Enrique will come to End around eight o’clock. In less than an hour, we’ll head to the nearest exit. We’re a bit worried about entrusting the entire escort task to Enrique’s convoy, so…”

“An escort mission? Then you’ve found the right people. We of Anna’s Support Team only need to reveal our name, and even starving wolves will run away in fear.”

Witnessing the mysterious power of lowering morale just by appearing, I had no doubt about Hornheim’s assurance.

To be honest, having Anna’s Support Team

escorting us made me feel much safer. I would need to properly thank them later. Going against a Duke is no small matter, equivalent to offending one of the most influential NPCs in the area. From now on, if Anna’s Support Team wants to do any activities in the Duke’s territory, it will be extremely difficult.

Hornheim nonchalantly said it was no problem, stating that Anna’s Support Team was stationed in the Duke’s territory simply because I lived here. If I were to leave the Mikhail Kingdom, they would also leave and find a new base.

He even said that their leader was willing to build a mercenary nation for me in the wilderness, tentatively named “Black Beast.”

Although the leader’s naming sense seemed odd, I was truly moved.
