Infiltration

The morning soon turned to night, and Alice finally arrived at the enemy camp. Activating [Basic Danger Detection Lv 2], she checked the camp for anything that would make her feel danger.

Thankfully, she found no such thing.

Sighing in delight, she moved closer, and as she did so, she began acting like she was haggard, and running for her life.

Once she was close enough to the camp, she began yelling,

"Enemy attack! Enemy Attack! Save me!"

Soon, she heard clanking sounds of swords and shields, as well as metal and leather armours clashing against each other, and a row of soldiers poured out from inside the slightly fortified camp.

Fires were also light around the camp, lighting up the haggard figure of a lone soldier returning back the camp after having fought, and escaping, just barely saving his life.

"Report!"

"Tom, Reporting from Squad 12 of the battalion! Our Squad 12 was patrolling the area 2 kilometres to the north, when we were ambushed by enemies. Seeing the number of enemies, our squad leader sent me over to report the situation at the cost of his live to slow the enemies so I could make it. Please save my squad captain! Please."

As the soldier said that, Tears began rolling down from his face as he kneeled and put his head on the ground. He was literally begging the other soldiers in the camp to save his captain.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers were stunned for a moment, before their eyes turned red from anger.

The leader of this camp also had his eyes turn red. He could see that this soldier was not willing to leave the battlefield, however, he had been ordered to do so by his captain, and had returned back without stopping for even a break along the way, running all the way back to the camp to get support for his captain and team members who were fighting with all their might.

"Men! Prepare yourselves! We will set out in half an incense stick! [1]"

Hearing this, Alice smiled while her head was bowed, the fake tears she had created by using the aroma of a fruit she had found when she had just left the base. This fruit's aroma had a certain property to create tears for humans around it.[2]

Half an incense stick was approximately an hour according to the time system that The God of Systems had given Alice, who simple remained kneeling, crying her heard out. Naturally, it was all faked.

After the long period of time she had spent training, her emotions had already calmed down, resembling a calm and peaceful lake, compared to the raging river that was there before, continuously searching for its source.

The few soldiers who were riled up took this poor fellow and sent him to the infirmary, where Alice spent the 30 minutes resting in a room. However, around 5 minutes before the entire squad left, the doctor had unexpectedly come into the room to remove the poor fellows armour so he could rest more easily.

It was actually a rule that while you were in the battlefield, all soldiers were to wear their armour, at least the most basic leather armour in case of enemy surprise attacks.

However, the leader of this camp had made an exception for the poor fellow who had run all the way back and begged them to save his friends.

Alice was shocked and realised that her acting was so good that it in fact backfired on her!

The doctor spent a few minutes slowly unbuckling the armour so as not to wake up the soldier, however, as soon as he fully opened the armour, he was stunned.

*Boing*

As soon as the chest armour was removed after he had removed the leather boots, the doctor noticed that this fellow was not a fellow man, but a woman.

Unlike the Leon kingdom, where equality of women had existed due to the influence of the goddess, the Roland kingdom had no such practice. To them, women belonged at the house while the man was superior in every way.

However, the poor doctor did not get time to do anything, as a powerful and swift strike landed straight onto his Adam's apple, making him unable to do anything but choke inwardly while leaving himself defenceless to Alice.

Naturally, Alice did not waste this chance and instantly struck out with her bare fists at various locations on the doctor's body, breaking all his limbs before finally breaking his neck by twisting her legs that were tightening like a snake around his neck.

*Snap*

Soon, a doctor left the room where Alice was, while the poor soldier remained on the floor of the room, his armour placed back onto him.

Only this time, the sleeping soldier was the dead body of the doctor, and the armour was present to cover the wounds Alice had inflicted in it, while the doctor who left was Alice.
