The rain is getting louder and louder.

It was definitely not a good weather for Felwood.

Damn the night, they couldn't even have a finger out of sight, and they couldn't even have a little light to avoid being cold-edged by the bastards up there. Not to mention the crackling of the rain that almost made him think that it was not a torrential rain but hail, and that he could hear nothing but the sound of rain, and when he looked up, he could see almost nothing but a dark outline that he could discern from the dim clouds in front of him. In this case, Felwood was really worried about whether he would be able to spot the damned fugitives. But on the other hand, with such a heavy rain and such a dark night, if they really want to break through regardless of it, then I'm afraid they will fall to their deaths before they are killed by their own people.

"What a fucking ........."

He touched the wet rain on his face and cursed in a low voice, one ear pressed to the ground catching a slight but regular sound that relieved Feiwood's already somewhat restless heart. Yes, it's just rain and night, and if those guys really think they can rely on this to escape, they can try, they're the elite of the Council of Light, and there are less than one rat out of a few than a few who can escape from them. Feywood knew how dangerous and important this mission was, and if he succeeded, he would be able to get out of his current predicament, and hide in a warm and comfortable room like that old bastard of Worcester, drinking wine while holding a woman leisurely and freely commanding unlucky people like himself to lie among these damn stones, cols and dead wood, maybe there will be people like him who will complain about themselves and look forward to the day when they will come out, but who cares? Enjoy what you can enjoy first, and as for whether you will get retribution, only geniuses know the way.

At that moment, a barely audible breeze flew in front of Felwood, which made him shudder, and he hurriedly raised his head and looked forward, but except in total darkness. Nothing. However, this did not make Feiwood relax his vigilance, he narrowed his eyes, carefully observed the darkness in front of him, and at the same time reached into his arms, held the pendant on his chest and pressed it hard, and soon, the originally dark space immediately became brighter in Feiwood's eyes, as if it was illuminated by the sun during the day. Grass and trees, even a small stone and a grain of sand were unusually distinct in his eyes, and he looked up at the front, there was no living thing on the hillside, except for raindrops.

It's an illusion.

Another cold wind blew by, and Feywood touched his cheek. Then he loosened the pendant in his arms, and soon his eyes were dark again, and the man continued to turn his head, pressing his ears to the ground, maintaining his previous position.

Rod's figure paused slightly.

He stood up and glanced down. Within Rhodes' perceptual range, several living beings were as bright and dazzling as the signals reflected off the infrared detector. They were scattered on the hillside not far from their target, waiting for their target like scorpions lurking in the cracks of stones.

The lackeys of the parliament.

Rod frowned. It reminded him of when he was hostile to the Council of Light in the game, when there were many times when Rhodes and the others had been attacked by these guys after they came out of the dungeon, but now they were nothing more than a threatless waste. Passing through these guys' surveillance nets and entering the destination was already a breeze for Rod, he turned his head, his body was light like a bird on the stone, in the next moment, Rod's body suddenly twisted slightly, and then disappeared without a trace——— and then in an instant, he appeared on another rock three meters away, and at the same time quietly avoided the search and surveillance of another spy who was only half a meter away from him.

If it weren't for the rain and the night. Then I'm afraid it's not so easy for me to get in.

Rhodes pondered. As he galloped forward, his body fluttered in the storm as if it were a raging wind mixed with broken pieces of paper. Then he landed lightly at the mouth of the dark cave——— and in the blink of an eye, Rod's body seemed to have become a ghost, and he was sucked into it by the darkness of the cave entrance, without even setting off the slightest wave.

"Hoo ........."

Rhodes leaned against the cave wall, gasped slightly, and at the same time reached out to wipe the rain off his mask, and at this time, there was a slight sound, and soon, Victor appeared in the wind and rain, unlike Rod, he himself seemed to have completely merged with the storm outside——— just when the black-clothed swordsman stumbled into the cave, giving people an existence that seemed to be completely condensed by the rain floating in outside.

Rod glanced at the gemstone sculpture on Victor's chest, which had completely dimmed at the moment, and was silent.

"I didn't expect you to be faster than me."

"Each other, you're not slow."

Rhodes nodded at Victor, but the latter obviously realized that this was not a good time for him and the others to have a leisurely chat, so he didn't say anything more, but reached out and picked up a stone, and tapped it on the cave wall several times in order, a crisp, regular sound passed through the cave wall, and after a long while, a few faint echoes came.

"It's okay, everything is fine."

Victor let out a long sigh of relief, then he reached out and gestured to Rod, and then walked in front and led him deeper into the cave.

The entire cave was completely formed by nature, and with the help of the pale and dim magical light in Victor's hand, Rhodes could easily see the stone stalactites hanging high above his head, as well as the stones on the uneven ground that were corroded and changed by the current——— and hidden in them, almost invisible to the naked eye, but still faintly shining with a metallic luster, and definitely not belonging to the dangerous objects of nature.

The cave is not too deep, it took only ten minutes to walk, the two of them have come to the bottom of the cave, different from the dark night outside, the light emitted by the burning fire is reflected in this hollow that seems to be only more than ten square meters in size, and around the fire, several people in full armor and mercenary clothes are holding weapons in their hands, vigilantly watching the entrance of the cave. Until I saw Victor coming. These people breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and lowered the weapon they were already ready to fire, and then one of the men, dressed as a thief, stood up half-crouched and came to Victor's side.

"Huh, boss, you're finally back, brothers are really worried........." said this, the man frowned. With a hint of scrutiny and doubt, he glanced at Rhodes, who was standing not far behind Victor, wearing a mask. There was a deep confusion and vigilance between his eyebrows.

"That person is ..............."

"Oh, he's ............"

Ignoring Victor's explanation to his subordinates, Rhodes just quietly looked at the people in front of him, except for those mercenaries dressed up, who could be seen at a glance to belong to Victor's subordinates. There were also four or five people in robes that did not suit the present environment, most of them about forty or fifty years old, with haggard faces and some helplessness and pain, and among them, the one who was surrounded by them was the older, about sixty or seventy years old, an old man with a white beard. At this moment, he was closing his eyes and recuperating, looking very tired.

That should be the Speaker of the Soragon Mountain Territory Council.

Thinking of this, Rod withdrew his gaze, and at this time. Victor also introduced the origin of Rhodes and others to his subordinates——— he did not directly explain Rhodes' identity, after all, even Victor himself came to the Solagang Mountains with a hidden identity, of course he couldn't confess on this occasion at this moment, only told his subordinates that Rhodes was a trustworthy helper, and also explained Rod's plans. After all, in this plan, Victor's subordinates also play a very important role, if they can't understand and implement it, then for Rod. This plan was in vain.

"Let's go?"

Sure enough. After listening to Victor's words, many mercenaries showed hesitant expressions on their faces. Although they had heard about the plan from Victor, and were mentally prepared, but looking at such a heavy rain and dark night outside, these mercenaries were still a little worried, although it was said that the inside should be combined with the outside, but at the moment the other party did not know where the other party was, not to mention such a heavy rain, although it was an obstacle for the enemy, but it was not the same for their own side?

And while the mercenaries hesitated, some of the robed men also spoke.

"Do you have to go now? Mr. Solard? The health of the President of the Council has been really bad for the past few days, and if he goes out now, I am afraid that the health of the President of the Council will not be able to stand it......... And, what if the other side doesn't rush up and surround us, but traps us outside? ”

"You don't have to worry about that, Mr. Seurat."

Solad ——— it seems that this is Victor's pseudonym, after listening to the question of the man in the robe at this moment, Victor did not hesitate at all, and quickly replied to him, after all, before leaving, Rhodes had already explained the current situation to him, and Victor himself was not a fool, of course, he knew what Rod wanted to choose to set off at this time.

"We've been here for so many days, they haven't been able to get in, and they can't be outnumbered, so in this case, if we choose to break through, they will definitely rush up and cut off our retreat as soon as possible, so that we don't hide back again after the breakout fails. And now it's stormy outside, and it's very difficult to shoot an arrow, as long as we prepare well, there won't be much danger, and ........." Victor frowned at this, and then he looked at the old man in the middle of the crowd.

"In the time I've been away, I've heard that they've taken control of half of the city, and now the entire Soragon Mountain Territory is in complete chaos, and if the council leader doesn't return to the Soragon Mountain Territory before the meeting starts, I'm afraid things will be very bad.........

"What?!"

Hearing this, the faces of the robed men also changed slightly, obviously they didn't expect that the current Solagang Mountain Collar actually became like this, which made them quite uneasy. Victor, on the other hand, seized on the uneasiness of the robed men and continued while the iron was hot.

"I'm leaving."

And at this moment, an old and serious voice sounded, and then, the old man, who had been in the midst of the crowd, opened his eyes, and stood up with the help of one of the robed men, and he raised his head and looked ahead, looking at the people around him.

"The Solagang Mountain Territory is currently in danger, how can we allow that group of small people to run rampant outside? There is not much time left until the meeting starts. Instead of having time to look ahead here, it's better to make a decision and act quickly! For the sake of the Solagang Mountain Collar, what is my old bone? As long as I don't die, even if I climb, I have to climb back, so that the group of stupid people who are blinded by power and interests can take a good look, as long as I am here, the mountain territory of Solagang. They can't be presumptuous!! ”

"Council Chief!!"

Hearing the old man's words, the men in the robe couldn't help but stand up, they looked at the old man with anxious faces, but under the old man's majestic gaze, they couldn't say anything. And at this moment, Victor also took the opportunity to join in. Trying to reassure everyone's concerns.

"Please don't worry too much, this companion who came with me, he has several skilled spirit masters under him, as long as we can break through successfully, then we can ask those spirit masters to heal the body of the council leader, I believe, this should not be a problem."

"Really, really?"

Hearing Victor's words, sure enough, the faces of the robed men softened a lot. They eagerly looked up at Rhodes, hoping for a definite answer from him. Feeling everyone's eyes, Rod remained silent, just nodded in response. Seeing Rod's response, the robed men also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, the council leader also showed a tired smile.

"Well, please......... Haven't consulted ............... yet."

"Ah, I'm sorry. This friend of mine has a bit of an eccentric personality. I don't like to give people their names, if you're going to call them. Just call him ..............." Speaking of this, Victor himself paused, and his subordinates were keenly aware of the slight twitching of the muscles on his president's face at this moment, as if it was quite difficult to speak, but Victor's hesitation was only for a moment, and he quickly gave an answer.

"Just call him............ The masked man will do. ”

“……………”

Perhaps because the name was so strange, the whole cave fell into an awkward silence for a while. The first to react was the council president, after all, the old man was old and well-informed, and when he heard it, he knew that the other party did not intend to be open and honest in this regard, so he didn't say anything, just nodded at Rhodes, and then bent down slightly.

"Please, Mr. Masked Man, for the future of the Sola Gang Mountain Collar......... If you can really protect us from returning to the Solagang Mountain Territory safe and sound, then I can assure you that I will give you the most solemn thanks and reward. ”

Even in the face of the old council leader's words, Rod still did not speak, he made a gesture to Victor, and then turned to leave. After seeing the gesture, Victor's face also sank slightly, and then he turned his head and looked at his subordinates.

"Alright, get ready, let's go!!"

The night was getting darker and the storm was getting stronger. Walking to the entrance of the cave, he could almost feel the oncoming torrential rain hitting his face like a small stone, which made many people hesitate, but Rhodes did not pay attention to the reaction of the group behind him, and walked straight out of the cave. And watching Rhodes walk out of the cave, Victor also gritted his teeth, although it was not the first time he had carried out such a serious, tense and dangerous mission, but for Victor, this tension still lingered. But soon, Victor regained his composure, and then, he turned to look at the mercenary beside him, and shouted loudly.

"Light up!!"

With Victor's order, soon, the mercenary in charge of the perimeter raised the oil lamp in his hand, lit it, and then they strode out of the cave.

The dim light of the fire was not bright in the deep darkness of the night, and even rose and fell like a boat in a stormy wave, but it was enough for those who had been stationed here.

"Those people came out?!!"

Feiwood's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the few dim bits of light above him, he even reached out, rubbed his eyes, and then looked ahead again, yes, it wasn't starlight, it wasn't lightning, it was real light, those guys actually came out of the cave, did they think they could take this opportunity to slip away?

With the appearance of the light, the black shadow also flickered, as if the night that wrapped the mountains was itself a huge creature, and quickly retreated after encountering the light. But Feywood knew very well that this was not a delusion, because at this moment, another agent also came to his side quietly and asked in a low voice.

"What to do? Captain Felwood? ”

"Let's see the situation first!!"

After recovering from the initial shock, Feiwood immediately began to think about the situation in front of him, indeed, the wind and rain are so strong, he and others can't threaten them through long-range shooting, but there are more than sixty people on their side, and they are no more than a dozen people at most, do they really think that they can break through their own blockade and rush down the mountain just by relying on the cover of nature? Indeed, if you were able to leave the mountain range and enter the forest, it would be difficult for even six hundred people to search for it. But now that they have been equipped with blockades on all the main roads under the mountain, where is it so easy for them to break through?

Or are these guys just a false shot, intending to lure themselves into attacking?

“………… Let's see, if these guys don't have any intention of leaving the cave, then don't act rashly, but if these guys are far enough away from the cave............ Listen to my signals! Surround these guys completely to prevent them from running back and hiding, since the rats are out of the hole, it's not so easy to go back again, understand? ”

"Yes, Captain!!"

The figure beside him disappeared in an instant, and Feiwood looked at the firelight with a gloomy face, and slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed the dagger at his waist.

The wind and rain are still howling.

Like the roar of a monster, it heralds the coming bloody battle.
