Assassinating an Enemy General

During Berengar and Eckhard's dual advancement upon the occupied regions of the Duchy of Austria, Linde had set Berengar's spy network to task with assassination and sabotage once more. At the moment, the same young female agent who had assassinated the Garrison commander at Meran was currently operating within the City of Vienna; she was just one of Berengar's many agents stationed within the Capital of the Duchy.

She had recently received a coded message that claimed Berengar had been successful in his campaign for Salzburg and would soon be marching his massive army into Lower Austria and, by extension, the City of Vienna. As such, she had been tasked by Linde to make preparations for his arrival. 

At the moment, the young and beautiful agent was clutching onto the concealed handgun in her pocket, which was a pepperbox revolver. The device could fire seven shots in a short period and would be instrumental to her plans.
