The Strongest Assassin Reincarnates in Another World



The next day, Aiden and Mia were preparing themselves to continue their travel toward the Upsilon Empire.

Nothing happened during the night, they were both well separated by the wall made of cushions made by Mia.

"Alright, so in about an hour or two, we will arrive at the Fort built by our empire. There shouldn't be any problems as we will just go threw it," said Mia, who started explaining where they would be going for the day.

This was all new information for Aiden but he still acted as if he already had this information, "Oh right the Fort," said Aiden with a voice that contained a certain uncertainty which was immediately noticed by Mia.

"You've never been? Well, I guess that's why you need my help," said Mia, realizing that the king's assassin didn't know much about the world that surrounded them.

She found it weird that he was so oblivious to the current situation but she still didn't emphasize it, thinking that he probably didn't leave the empire much.

"When we arrive there, just tell them that you're the king's assassin and they should let us go threw, they probably won't ask many questions," said Mia expecting that the assassin would also be renowned enough that simple guards would let them through.

Aiden understood what he needed to do and continued going forward on the back of his malnourished horse.

While they were on the way to the Fort, they continued talking to each other to pass the time.

"What was that yesterday, you seemed completely different than right now, as if the only thing on your mind was killing what surrounded you," asked Mia, who had gotten curious about what she had seen last night.

Aiden who heard her ask this didn't quite know how to respond because the person she had seen yesterday was the one from Earth, the Reaper, the one who would kill all of his targets in a single strike to the head.

Not wanting to reveal where he came from he told her whatever excuse came to his mind, "I don't know myself, I think it's some sort of side effects from my assassin training, ahaha," said Aiden while laughing to decrease the tension in the air.

"I guess that's what it was, you really looked... free," said Mia, thinking about the right word to describe him. "It was as if nothing was holding you back anymore."

"I guess so," said Aiden not knowing how to answer.

Noticing that Aiden didn't want to talk about this subject, Mia decided to change the subject.

"By the way, after we pass through the Fort we will be in the territory of the Upsilon Empire, so we will have to be a bit more discreet than we are right now."

"How are we going to be more discreet?" asked Aiden, not sure how they were going to hide with the two horses who were making loads of noise.

"What I want to say, is that we will have to travel by foot, leaving the horses by the Fort and we will take them back with me when we get back," explained Mia to Aiden.

"Won't that take too long?," asked Aiden who had a bit of time restraint to respect which made him worry if he would have enough time to kill the rest of the generals.

"Don't worry, the Fort is really close to the Upsilon Empire, it should take probably 5-6 hours by foot.

"That's not what I call really close," murmured Aiden, remembering of the stairs he had to climb to buy his dagger and the pain he felt in his legs at the end.

"I promise you it's really not that bad, I mean if you want we can keep the horse," said Mia realizing that Aiden didn't so pleased that he would have to use his legs.

Hearing this, Aiden was happy but at the same time he knew that he had no other choice but to walk on foot because he needed to infiltrate the territory without anyone finding him.

"No it's fine we'll go the horses," said Aiden with much difficulty.

One hour and a half later, they finally arrived at what seemed to be the Fort that Mia had talked about. It almost looked like a castle but it was much smaller and was in the form of a big observation tower. 

You could probably be able to see everything that surrounded the Fort when a person was at the top. However, with all the trees blocking their vision, it wasn't that easy.

In front of the wall, there seemed to be a big wall that served as some sort of defense against invaders. 

Seeing this, Aiden and Mia decided to direct themself to the gate which could be found on the giant wall to be able to enter the Fort and finally enter the territory of the Upsilon Empire.

Guards spotted them approaching and decided to act with precaution, "What is your purpose for coming here?"

"I have been given a mission by the king which is secret. But, to complete it I need to go to the Upsilon Empire," said Aiden, announcing why he was here.

Hearing this, the two guards at the gate started speaking between themselves about whether or not to let him enter.

"We have heard that you would be arriving soon, you can enter," said one of the guards opening the gate on letting them go through into enemy territory.

Aiden was surprised to hear that they had been informed of his arrival. He didn't think that the king would inform some guards about his arrival. 

But, it wasn't something that he didn't like as it simplified the task that he needed to do. 

After entering, Aiden and Mia left the horses there since they now had to travel by foot as they had discussed before.

Now, all that was left was to infiltrate the Upsilon Empire and kill the general which was easy to say but complicated to do.
