Chapter 470: The Upturned Chessboard

At the moment of the flames, even Victor and the others, who were blocked by the ice wall, couldn't help but feel the scorching breath coming from all directions, the sultry breath brought by the flames came to the face, and the screams came one after another under the background of the fire, Victor even saw an assassin lying on the other side of the ice wall in a panic, banging the wall in front of him, his skin had been completely burned, with the help of the firelight, he could even see the bloody muscles and skin, he wailed, wailed, Pounding the ice wall hard, but in the end the flames still mercilessly devoured his existence, his voice was cut off in an instant, and then he leaned against the ice wall and slowly collapsed to the ground, without a human form.

"Woo..............."

Looking at this scene, some mercenaries couldn't help but vomit, they are all elites who have experienced a hundred battles, and it stands to reason that they have seen a lot of dead people. But it's one thing to kill a person, and it's another thing to watch a living human being in the oven so close to show the audience how he is defured and skinned, charred on the outside and tender on the inside......... Presumably, after this battle, Victor and his mercenaries were probably able to live on vegetarian food for a long time.........

And just when everyone was disgusted, the situation suddenly changed again, and the waves of flames that had overwhelmed the ice wall suddenly paused suddenly, and then quickly rolled backwards, like the ebb tide before the tsunami, just in the blink of an eye, the flames that seemed to be overwhelming, and even they could be swept into it disappeared completely, and at the same time, the ice wall protecting the mercenaries had also reached a critical point, and after making a crisp breaking sound, it suddenly disappeared and disappeared.

Deep darkness is once again the dominant color.

The mercenaries looked at each other, they raised their heads, and looked around in disbelief, at this moment the surrounding area had regained calm, and the violent storm was still coming towards everyone. The crisp, continuous sound of rain sounded in everyone's ears again. But after the fierce battle just now, the sound of the rain brought a touch of unprecedented peace and tranquility to everyone.

The mercenaries' eyes grew in confusion, and they looked around them with a gaze that didn't know what to do, they had just experienced a fierce battle............ No, they must have experienced a battle just now, yes, the wounds around them are really hot reminders of this. But I don't know what the road is. At this moment, everyone, including Victor, was a little confused, and the flames just now were really retreating too quickly. Everyone could see it clearly, it was not extinguished by the rainstorm, but retreated and disappeared as if it were a self-conscious living being.

This caught everyone off guard, they had never seen such an "obedient" flame before. For a moment, the mercenaries were still immersed in the excitement of victory and this sudden confusion, and they didn't know what to do. But that doesn't mean everyone will be like them.

Rhodes stepped out of the darkness and came to Victor and gestured at him, who quickly reacted by coughing, interrupting the mercenaries' stunned silence before turning his head. He waved at the mercenaries, frowned, and said to them in a serious tone.

"What are you stunned about? Now is just the beginning, without sending the council chief back to the city in its entirety, our mission will not be considered a success, keep going!! ”

Hearing Victor's order, these mercenaries also quickly came back to their senses, after all, they are also professionals, although the scene in front of them is rare. But it's not so much that they are directly stunned like those rookie mercenaries, so much so that they even forget their surnames. So after hearing Victor's order. It didn't take long for the mercenaries to pick themselves up, and then they continued to protect the council chief and the others as they walked down the mountain.

Although the danger is gone. But the mercenaries were still nervously watching the movements around them as they walked, and they also looked at the corpses of the assassins on the ground. Most of the corpses had been completely charred by the flames, leaving almost nothing but black dust, and presumably the poor Assassins would not have any ashes left after the night's rainstorm.

But Victor pays more attention to things, and this is Victor's strength, and it is also the advantage of his leadership of the Cole Eagle Guild, that is, absolute calmness and observation. In the scuffle just now, according to Victor's observations, the assassins besieging them were probably about forty people, which was about the same number as Victor expected. But the battle is not just to get all the people up and fight in groups, even if it is a street hooligan fight, you have to send the younger brother to watch the wind to avoid accidents, and these assassins are so scattered in front of them, there must be liaison officers and guards between them, so as to avoid any accidents, they can stay away from danger in the first place, and convey the latest progress to the master behind them.

This is also something that Victor can't do, after all, he has limited manpower, and it is impossible to figure out the location of all the people. And Rhodes is mysterious and secretive, and he doesn't want to talk to him more, but for now, he should be sure of this, so he proposed this raid plan, and those peripheral sentry posts must have been completely cleared.

Except for Rod, the other members of the Starlight Guild did not show up along the way, and even Seven Love disappeared quickly after a small face. This made the mood of those mercenaries a little complicated, of course, they were not grateful to those who saved them, but now they couldn't even see each other's faces, and they didn't know where to start if they wanted to thank them. However, Victor also knew that Rod was also helpless to do this, after all, in his team, there are two people who are absolutely not allowed to show their faces——— that is, Lijie and Marlene.

As the heir of the Shania family and a genius mage, Marlene has long been a celebrity. Not to mention, Lijie is also the sister of Archduke Lytia, both of whom have a strong sense of political identity, although the Duchy of Moon was recognized as a watchdog at the time of the agreement between the two parties, but their task is only to monitor, not supervise. Therefore, if such two sensitive people were sent rashly, and then they were recognized by the other party, it would not be a good thing for the Principality of Moon. On another level, Victor also understands that Rhodes is doing this to avoid the eyes and ears of the Council of Light, after all, the little between him and the Council of Light has been rumored from Deep Rock City to now, although it is said that the Council of Light is now far from the whip of the Land of Atonement. And the southern faction of the lackeys below them was also crippled by Rhodes at the previous midsummer festival, but if they publicly spoil the other party's good deeds, it is hard to guarantee that the Council of Light will not tear their faces and directly attack them. After all, Starlight is no bigger than big guilds like Cole's Eagle and Purple Lily, and now they are just reborn, and they are limited in all aspects, so in order to avoid trouble, it is naturally better to have fewer direct threats and obstacles.

Thinking of this, Victor couldn't help but raise his head. glanced at Rhodes, who was not far in front of him, like a ghost, and then sighed.

There's still a long way to go for him.

After that, the mercenaries were never attacked again, and they finally left the barren mountain. And under the leadership of Rod, he entered the forest ahead. It wasn't until they walked into the hinterland of the forest that these mercenaries finally breathed a sigh of relief, in such a place, they also had a place to play, at least if those guys dared to catch up again, then these mercenaries who had been besieged for a long time did not mind letting them taste their strength.

And it was at this time that they finally met Rod's men.

Like Rod, every mercenary in the Starlight Guild is wearing a pitch-black mask right now, and they are standing not far from the mercenaries. But I didn't plan to talk to them much. Although this is a bit rude, these mercenaries also know that since they plan to keep their identities secret, they naturally have to keep their distance, as if they came to the Solagang Mountains to carry out a mission by themselves, and they also concealed their identities.

Although the atmosphere was a little awkward, but fortunately, everyone was professional, and there was no dispute because of such a little embarrassment, and soon, Victor thanked each other on behalf of his subordinates. Rod, on the other hand, nodded in acceptance. Then the mercenaries, exhausted by the siege, finally rested in a quiet environment, and Rhodes fulfilled his promise. Let Li Jie come to treat the old council leader——— after all, the old council leader is old, and he has persevered in that vicious situation for several days, and then he was drenched in such a rainstorm, and his health is naturally very poor. Luckily, however, the spirit master was effective in this regard, and Lijie had improved her skills under the guidance of little bubblegum, so she soon began to use her magic to heal and recover the old council leader.

Rod leaned quietly to the side, looking at the people in front of him, he knew very well that this was not the end, it was like a marathon, they just rested for a while, but then they had to continue to attack, although theoretically speaking, it was not too far to reach the city of the Solagang Mountain Territory through the forest, and the remaining time should be completely sufficient, but things were not so simple, judging from the information obtained from Victor, now those clowns in the council have basically mastered the garrison on the periphery of the city, This means that Starlight wants to enter the city with the Council Leader, and it will be difficult to reach the Council Hall......... Although for Rod, he is not completely out of the question.

"What do you think?"

Victor walked up to Rod's side and asked in a low voice, and hearing Victor's inquiry, Rod shook his head slightly.

"It depends, we have to get there as soon as possible, and while I can guarantee that most of them have been killed in the vicinity, it's hard to say if we've killed all of them. What's more, even if everyone is killed, with the council about to begin, the guys over there will definitely be very concerned about the situation of the council president, and there is no guarantee that they will not send someone to check it out, and at that time, the matter will definitely be exposed, and the only thing we have to do is to get it done before they notice it and make arrangements........."

At this point, Rod paused, and although he couldn't see Rode's expression through the mask Victor, he could hear a strange jump in his voice.

"From now on, the chessboard is flipped, Mr. Victor, we have broken the puzzle of the opponent, and now it's time to counterattack."

Night falls, day disappears, and another day passes.

Everything is going according to plan.

Ziegy looked away from the scroll in front of him, nodded in satisfaction, and then he picked up the quill and began to write a reply to the family——— this time to the Soragon Mountain Mountains, and the plan to incite the Soragon Mountain Council was the plan proposed by the council members led by the Eranic family, and he joined the plan as the most famous new star in the family. Ziggy certainly knew what kind of disaster would happen to this beautiful city if Soragon Hills did make that decision. But that's not all he needs to care about, and for Zigger, it's a task for the family. Then you will elevate your status. And the Araniques will also make huge profits because of this upcoming war, which is enough for Ziggy.

Everything worked fine, meticulously and without any problems.

Putting down the quill in his hand, Zieg looked at the letter in front of him with satisfaction, the neat handwriting on the white letter paper described a series of changes in the Soragon Mountain Territory so far, and the group of waste in the Mountain Territory Council finally succeeded in taking most of the city after many days of integration. Although there is still opposition to them in the council, there are not enough people to fear.

The only thing that worries Ziggy is the old council leader, so far, he still hasn't received any news about the old council leader, whether he is dead or alive, this is the point that Ziggy cares about the most. Only people who live in the Sola Gang mountain territory. will understand how powerful the old council leader's reputation and power are, don't look at the fact that many people now agree to the proposal that the mountain leader is about to put forward in order to protect their lives, but once the old council leader appears in front of them and declares his opposition to this bill, then everything they have done before will become meaningless and useless. It is precisely because of this that Ziggy planned the assassination of the old council leader, but the idiots in the council were so impressed by the old council leader's prestige that they didn't even have the guts to assassinate him, which forced Ziggy to use his own people to carry out this work. If only he could get the head of the old council president now. Then I think everything will go very smoothly in the future. The problem is that, until now, the location of the target has not been heard.

Inexplicably, Zieg's heart was a little uneasy, it was like walking on a well-planned, smooth avenue, but suddenly feeling a little flustered.

This does not bode well.

Putting down the quill in his hand, Ziggy pondered for a moment, then he raised his hand and picked up the bell on the table and shook it. Soon. The door opened, and an old man stood quietly. With his head bowed, he faithfully waited for his master's orders.

"Send someone to Dolan Mountain immediately to check the situation there, if they are still hiding in the hole like rats, then order the 'wild wolf' to attack, no matter what the cost, I hope I can see the old guy's head before the council starts!"

Hearing Ziggy's words, the old man did not respond, he just bent down deeply, saluted Ziggy, and then quietly closed the door and turned to leave. It was only at this time that Ziggy sighed lightly, and he picked up the quill in his hand again, but soon, Zigger's brow couldn't help but wrinkle.

On the snow-white paper, a black ink dot the size of a bean was shocking.

In the following trip, everyone did not encounter any obstacles, Victor still had a considerable understanding of the terrain in this vicinity, under his leadership, Rhodes and the others and the council president easily crossed the forest, and then, when the morning sun of the third day was displayed in front of everyone, a huge and mighty city was also displayed in front of everyone.

Solo City.

Looking at the tall walls and towers in the city in the sunlight, everyone couldn't help but gasp. As an area that produces magic crystal mines, the magic technology civilization in the Solagang Mountain Territory is also very developed, although it is not as powerful as the Golden City, but compared to the Deep Stone City, it has far surpassed. Seeing the city in front of them, the council chief and the others also showed excited eyes, and after so many days of trekking and danger, they finally arrived at their destination. They are only one step away from their city, and if they can enter it, they will win.

But it's far from that simple.

Victor appeared in front of everyone again, but this time, he was smiling with a solemn expression. And seeing Victor's expression, the old council chief and the others, who were originally a little relaxed, couldn't help but calm down, they all knew very well that since Victor showed this expression at the moment, it meant that things would not go as smoothly as they imagined. Sure enough, after seeing the old council chief and others, Victor couldn't help but show bitterness, but he still gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and bowed deeply to the old council leader.

"All roads into the city have been blocked."

Then, he said with a serious expression.
