Chapter 645: Chaos
"Mark, do we have any requirements? Or what do we need to do in this mission? β
As Nicolle spoke softly, a small maggot wriggled in front of her from a distance. She kept blowing at the little one, keeping it away from her.
Mark looked away from the scope, squinting his eyes and silently calculating the true distance from the hill to the target point. Due to time constraints, they have not actually measured the distance to that marker point in order not to be detected.
The X on the tree below was also carved a few hours ago, and the ambush circle they had told them a few days ago wasn't here. Everything was changed early this morning, and when they arrived here in a hurry, the brothers of the Security Service below were clearing the mountains and forests on both sides, making markers and the scope of the ambush circle.
"Don't get hurt by mistake, especially Lord Tyran." Mark said casually, and then he put his head on the scope again, "Also, we used to be the main attackers, but now we are not. β
"What we need to do is cooperate with the wizards."
"Wizardβ" Nicole couldn't help but move her arm, but she immediately stopped her reckless movements. Before she could say anything, his mentor Mark reprimanded her.
"If I were an enemy patrol, I'm afraid I would have discovered you long ago." Mark said lightly, "Before you have mastered the trick of stealth, this grass coat on your body is your best protective color." β
Nicole pouted dissatisfiedly as she lay on the ground, and although she was unhappy with Mark's words, she admitted that he was right. He needs to rely on stealth powder to be completely invisible, and compared to Mark, he doesn't even need anything.
"There's a lot more you need to learn, do you know why we have so few people in the League of Thieves? That's because the thieves who are not skilled are dead. β
"We have very few missions like this, so you have to study both your dagger combat course and assassination course."
In the distance, a fast horse appeared in Mark's scope, the rider on a war horse, with a red flag tied to his back and waving in the wind.
"No one will tell you this, except your mentor. Okay, brace yourself, our target is about to enter the encirclement. β
Nicolle hurriedly grabbed the binoculars that had been placed aside and looked at the ambush circle below.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! β
Lightning panted and ran down the road to Hearthplace, a large crowd of men riding horses in front of and behind it. Locke stared anxiously ahead, the preset ambush circle was too far from the actual ambush circle.
But it's not too late, at least the news won't leak.
All the Crusader posts along the way were taken over by the Scarlet Crusaders, with a blue double-headed eagle banner and a red flaming flame banner next to it. All of this had been in the works for a long time, and Locke had even brought to the surface many of the dark lines of the Crusaders lurking in Hearthvale in order not to be disturbed by the implementation of the plan.
As for what Tyran would think of this, Locke didn't think about it at all. If he survives, then it's easy to say anything! Even if he makes amends, why not?!
A barricade made of crosswood appeared in Locke's field of vision, and the people walking in front dismounted one after another, and the neighing of war horses continued to sound in the woods.
"We can't go ahead, we're going to dismount here. Three hundred meters ahead, is our new ambush circle. Thomas came to Locke's side and explained, "We'd better run over there." β
A group of soldiers in red robes poured out from the woods on both sides, and they took everyone's horses with their hands and feet, and took out black war horse muzzles from their bodies and put them on the mouths of each horse.
The horses were pulled into the woods on either side and tied together.
"Are the prosecutors and the priests gone? There are also wizards, allies of Quel'Salas. Looking at the somewhat chaotic crowd around him, Locke turned his gaze to Thomas, the commander, "Nothing is missing, right?" β
"They all left before us, and we were the last. Our apprentice paladins are already around for a long time. As soon as that demon appears, we will rush down! β
"Kyle, come here!" As he spoke, Thomas beckoned a young major to come over, and he said to Locke, "Grand Commander, this is my adjutant Kyle, and he will take you and the regimental commanders to the observation point, and I must go to the front." β
Thomas said so much in a row, he wiped the sweat from his bald head, smiled and continued, "You are our soul now, and you and the Legion Commanders are the future of our Scarlet Crusade. Your plan to go to the front has been unanimously denied by all of us. β
"Just watch from behind," Thomas gave a solemn military salute, and Locke wanted to tell him that it would not work, but Thomas had already run ahead.
Before he had time to think about it, Locke beckoned, and the group of legion leaders behind him, led by Adjutant Thomas, walked forward briskly.
Just walking, Locke suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he suddenly stopped and looked at the legion commanders behind him! Except for Thomas, the commander of the Second Legion, who served as the commander of this mission because of his status as a paladin. There's one less Legion Commander here! The only woman!!
"Where's Major General Bridget Abydis?!" Locke asked, a little annoyed!
The legion commanders looked at each other, and Paul touched his head with some doubts, "Major General Bridget was talking to me just now..."
Oh, yes! Where's Bridget?!

Mark lay intently in the grass, the barrel of his gun covered with dry grass, so that from a distance, one would think it was just a mixture of dry branches and hay.
His apprentice, Nicole, didn't dare to move at this moment, even though the little insect repellent had crawled in front of her, and was happily circling there.
Because just now, a group of Eva officers crept out from behind them, bypassing them halfway up the hill in front of them.
If Mark hadn't been alert, they might have been discovered by their own people.
Mark cursed the commander of the operation while looking at the assault force in front of him in confusion. They weren't supposed to be in this position, but now they're there.
As an agent of the Security Service, it is natural to identify the markings on the battle suit. By comparing the patterns on the robes, this group of people is a trainee paladin of the Knights of the Silver Hand of Eva Preparatory Academy. Each of them has a minimum rank of warrant officer, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an officer commando.
Did you change the direction of attack?
Mark was a little puzzled, but due to the lack of information, Mark was not good at guessing. But since they're here, it must make sense.
Mark looked at the lieutenant below with the scope on his gun. Each of them was covered in gold, and every part of their armor and weapons was infused with holy light. From time to time, the blue energy of magic also rises from above, which is a manifestation of being enchanted.
Looking at the probationary paladins lying in the hay, motionless, Mark still admired them. At the very least, they could wear such thick armor and be so silent.
Who doesn't want their teammates to just take off their own hind legs, right? And, for a while, they're going to take the lead!

Bridget untied her single ponytail and braided it over her head. She didn't bring a helmet and chose to leave it where it was. Next to her, a group of trainee paladins glanced at her from time to time, but no one dared to say anything.
Eventually, a girl stepped forward and persuaded Bridget, "General Bridget, this is not the place for you. We're commandos here, and that's our test. You're not fit to fight with us here. β
"Ensign, what's your name," Bridget tucked her one-handed sword into the ground. First in her left hand, then in her right hand, she tied two thin strips of white cloth around her wrists and wrapped them around and around them. Then the upper half of the left glove was a heraldic shield, and the right hand pulled out the one-handed sword on the ground and turned around a few times, getting used to it, and then looked up at the girl in front of him.
"You know my name?" Bridget smiled, and she looked in the direction she came. Locke must have been angry when he knew he wasn't there, right? But whatever? I'd like to see it up close! Is Dassault Khan really a demon!
"We are the Scarlet Crusaders, and there is only one female general, and everyone knows you." The female lieutenant smiled shallowly, "Everyone doesn't dare to come and talk to you, only I'm bolder." β
"My name is Veronica, Veronica Grevy, from Brill."
"I know you, little girl." Bridget leaned against the tree, she looked back at the girl in front of her with a smile, "I heard that there is a female paladin with the same personality as me in the academy, I think it should be you." β
Veronica spread her hands and signaled her helplessness, "That's just because I can fight better than them." β
There was some hatred at the words, but the other male probationary paladins around them didn't seem to hear it, some of them were sitting and wiping their weapons, some were whispering prayers.
"Haha," Brigitte couldn't help but laugh, holding the hilt of the sword in her right hand with her left hand, Brigitte tucked back the hair that blocked Veronica's face, "When you graduate, come to the First Legion to find me, you are very kind to my character." β
"Everyone, prepare! The goal is here! β
A captain trotted in from the front, shouting in a low voice to warn everyone. The young apprentice paladins stood up one after another, quickly donning their own gear. Then everyone hunched over and trotted up the ridge of the small hill in front of them, where they lay down and looked down.
Bridget was about to make a move when she was stopped by the captain.
"General Bridget, you shouldn't be here. I can't command you, but I hope you can stay in formation with us for a while. β
Faced with the captain's request, Bridget replied in the affirmative, "You are the commander here, I follow your orders!" As long as you are the paladins of the Silver Hand, there will be no difference in our formation! β
