Chapter 79, Operation Midnight
Twenty miles west of Sancha Town, on the periphery of the Forest of Disillusionment.
"Your Highness! A total of 32 enemies were annihilated and 19 were captured! Most of the rest fled deep into the forest, with sporadic escapes in other directions. β
At this moment, the "Silver Lion" of the Misty Lands sat high on a white horse, and the breeze blew, causing the white feathers on his helmet to flutter in the wind.
"The main force of the enemy has not yet been destroyed, so let's expand the search area and try not to let one go!"
"Yes!"
A knight urged the horse to the Duke of Silver Lion and whispered, "Your Highness, it's getting dark, do you want to return to Sancha Town to rest?" β
Sieg's eyes looked coldly in the direction of the forest, and he sighed, "That old cobra is really cunning... Although the combat effectiveness is average, this escape kung fu is first-class.... If these people are allowed to roam the Misty Lands, how can my people travel safely? Not going back! Set up camp here tonight! β
The Duke gave the order, and all the silver horsemen dismounted and prepared to set up camp.
said that at this time, the group of "cobras" had all left.
Klose opened the door and looked at it through a small crack, and when he was sure that no one was there, he returned to the room with a few people.
The little girl in charge of cleaning up the private room looked depressed.
She had expected these two groups of guests to bring her a handsome tip, but one of them only wanted wine, while the other drank free water!
Ay.... Who are you meeting here today?
Back in his room, Klose immediately began to prepare.
He first assigned everyone a suitable weapon, and then prepared flashlights, ***, lime powder, ropes and other things. Finally, Klose took out a few more outfits for everyone to change into.
"What kind of strange dress is this?"
The quartet was carrying those clothes, and their faces were ugly and they didn't want to wear them.
"Put them all on! Didn't you say that? You're all mercenaries from the North, and you're wearing these to prevent you from being recognized. β
Klose said as he picked one for himself.
These clothes he picked... It's the anime costume that two-dimensional lovers wear when they cosplay.
"Hey, hey~~~Okay, little guys~ From now on, our organization will be called 'Xiao'! Let's go! β
A large black high-necked robe with a red moire print, plus a strange mask.
Klose's fake "Xiao" has taken shape.
At this time, it was already nightfall in Sancha Town, and there were only a few tables of drunken guests left in the hall on the first floor of the hotel who were still bragging.
Klose they certainly couldn't have gone out through the gate, so they opted for the terrace!
A few people went up to the roof and observed the terrain.
"Do you see the two-story building across from it?"
Klose asked, pointing to a building not far from the side of the hotel.
"Well, I see, what's wrong?" Fark asked.
"Look! Learn a little bit~"
Klose pulled out a coil of rope with a barb. He tied one end to the iron railing on the roof, and then took the barb and began to spin in the air.
"Whoosh~"
"Click!"
Klose threw a barb at the building, trying to slide from one rooftop to the other.
"Smack~! Boom~"
Then, he smashed someone's window accurately...
"Damn! Who is it!? Who smashed the glass in my house!? β
There was a burst of cursing, and Klose and the others all lay on the roof and did not dare to squeak.
"Damn... Pretending to be forced is not pretending to be good... It's embarrassing..."
Rubbing his face, Klose prepared for a second plan.
"This thing is called a kite! We lie down on it and fly by the wind! β
As soon as he finished explaining how to use the kite, the lizardman couldn't wait to grab one.
"Can this fly? Oh, my God! It's always been a dream of mine! I'll come first! β
"Hey...."
Before Klose could stop it, the lizardman had already jumped out of the roof with a kite in his hand.
Klose couldn't bear to look at it, so he had to close his eyes.
But after waiting for a while, I didn't hear the screams of the lizardmen!
"Hey! Guys~! Come on~~~I'm flying~~~~"
Boy! Ward didn't know what shit luck broke out, and he actually flew into the sky with a kite!
Klose looked at the sky in surprise, he originally wanted to try it first, but he didn't expect it to succeed once!
At this time, Salomon pointed to Ward in the sky and asked, "How does this thing control its direction?" β
"This...."
Klose watched as the thread on the other end of the kite was flying in mid-air, and silently prayed for the lizardman.
β... Guys, let's slide down this tree and make it safe. β
Klose jumped into a large tree next to the hotel, and then landed safely on the ground.
At this time, I looked at Ward who flew into the sky, but he had disappeared into the night sky, and I didn't know where he had gone...
"I'm rubbing! That walnut kernel head! ... Without that guy, it would be inconvenient for us to fight..."
Falke looked up at the night sky, and he didn't know what to do without Ward.
Don't look at this naΓ―ve lizardman who is often scolded, but he is the one who can really fight in the team, and he is also everyone's meat shield.
If Ward can't go.... Then there was a troll, an awkward dancing girl, and a blind man left on his side. Oh yes, and add a hangover imposter magician.
Klose also felt a little headache.
In order not to reveal the identity of his own side in this operation, he specifically did not bring Kane and Bajie.
But if you're left with the old, weak, sick and disabled...
β... No matter! Let's go first! When the time comes, act on the spot! If you don't hurry up, Rebecca will be in danger! β
A few people threw off their legs regardless of it and slipped forward on the empty and deserted street....
However, just as Klose and his party set off from one side of the hotel, a group of masked men also sneakily gathered on the other side of the hotel.
"How? Is our whereabouts exposed? β
"No... It doesn't seem to be, it's the glass of one of the houses over there that has been smashed, and the owner of the house is scolding the street. β
The people of the Cobra mercenary group are hidden in the shadows. They were startled by the sudden noise and shouting, and thought that their captors had arrived.
"Whew... If not, let's go! Try not to make a noise! β
With a wave of the cobra's boss, the group formed a column and moved as they slid away.
"Huh!?"
Suddenly, one of the members of the team couldn't help but scream.
Although he was covered by his companions for the first time, and there was no one on the street, he still scared everyone into a cold sweat.
"Leper dog! What the hell is your name!? Don't you think we weren't caught?! β
The Cobra boss grabbed his men by the collar, eager to screw his head off now!
But the leper dog who had been caught looked at the sky and trembled.
"God... Sky... Heavenly! β
Everyone was stunned by what he said, and then they all looked up at the night sky.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's all a gasp for the cool air of the night!
"That.. What is that!? β
Yes, they saw the lizardmen who flew into the sky ...
"Is that a dragon?!"
"Dragon, you're big!? Haven't you seen the picture? How did a dragon grow like this?! Don't even look at it! It's none of our business! Let's go! β
The Cobra boss felt a little uneasy in his heart, because tonight's plan was full of things before it began, and it was very unsmooth.
Although he was not a man who accepted his fate, the operation did not go well from the beginning, which made him start to waver, and he felt that he was wrong?
What did that guy say in the first place? He will be responsible for keeping the Duke of the Silver Lion at bay, and then the Cobra will raid the Magic Bazaar.
For this reason, he also spent a lot of money to invite a demon breaker! But the magic bazaar hasn't opened yet, and he's already a wanted criminal!
Those nobles are really unreliable! At the end of the day, you're on your own...
....
Due to Aunt Colin's temper, there are very few people who come to the store to drink every day, and most of them are acquaintances.
At this time, the doors of the Colin Brewery have long been closed, and it is cleaning time.
"Rebecca! What are you doing there? Hurry up and help! Your little lover won't be here today! β
Aunt Colin wielded a mop in one hand and a broom in the other, and worked like a gust of wind.
Rebecca looked away from the window and picked up a rag in a somewhat depressed mood.
Aunt Colin, who had already finished mopping the floor, wiped her sweat and looked at Rebecca.
"Stinky girl! Are you going to rub a hole in my round table?! β
Rebecca was stunned, only to realize that she had been wiping in one place for a long time.
"Humph! What did I tell you? He is a general who leads troops to fight! He is the head of the four hottest four dukes in the Ryan Continent! The future king of the Misty Lands! How could he spend all his time with you little girl? Choose such a man, you have to get used to enduring loneliness! β
"Auntie... Stop it... Sounds so frustrating..."
"Frustrated? That's right to be frustrated! Hurry up and get through this dreaming age! The reality is always unsatisfactory, but we still have to try to accept it! That's the most fucking thing! ... Oh... I'm sleepy, just keep waiting! β
"Bang Bang Bang~"
Just when the girl thought that a miracle would not happen, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Huh? It's him! β
Rebecca was "cloudy" for a moment, and she ran to open the door as if she had a spring under her feet.
"Hey... This stinky girl... Hehehe..."
Although Aunt Colin always spurred Rebecca with words, she still wanted the child to be happy in her heart.
But when the girl ran to open the door, she did not hear the cheers and greetings from the silver-haired boy in her memory.
Colin frowned, but saw Rebecca stepping back step by step, and the one who came in.... It's a gang .... Bandit?
