Chapter 228: Rescuing the King (Medium)
"Damn it! Who killed my little rose? And what about my mummy? Is it dead too? Damn it... Do you think these are all done by the third prince? Could it be that he can control the demonic beasts in the magic forest?
Although I have only just arrived in the Holger Continent, I have also heard of the horror of the Demon Forest Abyss! How could he, a human being, control those demonic beasts and monsters?
No, I remembered when you said that.... The last time I saw the Blue Dragon's guy, it seemed very wrong. Yes! Maybe it had already been replaced by someone by that time! That's how our secrets leaked out! That damn bastard! It's all to blame for wearing armor all day! ”
In the Holger Palace, the false queen succubus cursed incessantly and walked anxiously back and forth in the room.
Adam sat across from her, looking gloomy. From the moment he found Baron Rose's body, he was aware of the seriousness of the problem.
It is very likely that the other party already knows their purpose, which is even more serious than them saving the true queen!
"No! I have to inform the Holy See Archbishop. Once our true purpose is revealed, the previous deployment at Holger will have to be changed. Or we need to speed up our movements and let the gospel of the Most High God sink into the hearts of the people before they can react! We must perform two miracles to show these ignorant people the greatness of our Holy See! ”
Adam slammed the table and stood up, but the succubus stopped him anxiously: "Hey, don't go yet, what should I do if you leave?" Now there is not even a single person around to come up with an idea. ”
Adam glanced at her and snorted coldly, "Hmph, that's your own business." If it weren't for your greed for pleasure, how could you get into a lot of trouble?! ”
"You! How can you blame me for this? Can you control the king of Holger so easily without me?"
The succubus seemed to be trying to quibble about something, but Adam had already slammed the door and didn't give her a chance at all.
The charming fake queen bit her lower lip and her eyes flashed, it seemed that she was already thinking of a way out for herself. She didn't care about spreading the gospel or anything, she didn't want to be burned alive tied to a pillar in the square.
At the same time, in the mansion of the High Priest of Ova, the ready rescue team finally waited for the night.
"So do it! Let's play it by ear! ”
Klose tells a few of the Dark Demon warriors Lana has chosen for him about the rescue and retreat routes after entering the palace. And standing opposite him at this moment was the captain of the scout team entrusted by Olivia, the leopard man.
He was a natural killer and scout, and this time he was specially transferred to Klose's side as the main member of the rescue effort.
And this time, among the few operatives that Lana selected for Klose, all but one of the warriors of the Ink Wolf Clan were orcs.
No way, this race has a natural advantage. If they want to walk quietly at night, they can make no sound at all. This is thanks to the pads of flesh that grow on the soles of their feet, which are as dexterous and quiet as wild cats.
The only warrior of the Ink Wolf Clan was a master ventriloquist who could imitate many animal and environmental sounds. He also brought him this time just in case.
Lana was more thoughtful if they couldn't get out after rescuing the king, or if something happened to the king. Then this capable man can come in handy. He could imitate the king's voice in the chaos and give orders to the Praetorian Guard. You can also imitate the voice of the opposing paladin leader to disrupt the audio-visual. Don't ask him how he knows the king's voice, because he just does.
As night fell, the sky was filled with scattered sparse stars. Klose put on his night suit, put on his mask, and straightened his outfit under the demented gaze of the others.
It was the first time they had seen their little lord dressed like this. However, looking at that outfit is really quite professional.
Yes, Klose was dressed in a black nightcoat at this time, wrapped in a black turban, and covered with a black veil. Not only that, but he had a rope with a hook around his waist, a dagger pinned to the side of his calf, lime powder in his arms, a short sword behind his back, and a miniature crossbow in his sleeve. Dressed properly as a ninja.
Diana stood behind Klose and asked with some confusion, "Master, can you still fight if you dress like this?" You just show the concubine in the direction, and the concubine will fly in and rescue the old king, why bother. ”
Klose gave her a blank look and said, "Do you know what it means to sneak in quietly?" Fly in like you, and I'm afraid that all the people of Holger will be able to see your dignity. What we want is to dive in! Don't always think about being mindless, this behavior of yours reminds me of that lizardman. Also, what do you say, it's also a hole card in our hand, don't expose it to the enemy's sight too early, and leave it to them as a surprise, understand? ”
Diana nodded as if she didn't understand, thinking to herself that the master meant that I was his killer weapon? Hehe, it seems like a killer idea.
This time, in addition to Klose, Diana, and the Harpys, who were in charge of the rescue mission of the palace. There were only six orcs and one member of the Ink Wolf Clan. Because what they have to do is infiltrate and rescue is not a rush, so these manpower is enough in Lana's opinion.
The palace at night is a little scaryly quiet. The King's Praetorian Guard was silently patrolling and changing shifts, and not even a single one of them was talking.
Klose and the others hid their bodies in the shadows under the city walls, looking at the Praetorian Guard soldiers who were changing guards from a distance.
Taking advantage of the difference in time between the two groups of soldiers to change the guard, they slipped into the backyard of the palace by sticking to the corner.
Klose looked at the upper level of the castle not far above his head and removed the rope with the hook from his waist.
He followed the example of the people he had seen on television, turning the rope and throwing it upwards and throwing the end with the hook on it.
But the strange thing is that after he threw the iron hook, he did not hear the sound of "card". But Klose tugged at the rope hard, only to find that it was already sturdy.
He made a gesture, and he pulled the rope and climbed up quickly.
Our little lord is excited at the moment! He felt like he was a special forces soldier of some special forces, or some ninja infiltrating an enemy camp to complete a secret mission. It's exciting just thinking about it!
But when he climbed up to the second floor of the castle along the rope, he was surprised to find that there was still a person hooked at the end of the iron hook he had just thrown.
The unlucky brother didn't know if he was sitting here and lazy, but he was directly hooked by the end with a hook thrown up by Klose, and he didn't understand how he died until he died, and he couldn't even make a sound.
Klose had black lines on his head, he squatted in front of the man and shook his head, stretched out his hand to close his protruding eyes for the other party, and said in his mouth: "Alas... Brother, you said it's not good for you to squat somewhere, do you have to squat here? It's all fate, rest in peace~"
The team members who climbed up one after another along Klose's rope all looked at a Praetorian Guard who had already breathed his last breath next to him.
They don't understand, didn't the lord just say that he tried not to hurt these Praetorian Guards? Why did he kill one first as soon as he came up? And it's so ruthless.
Klose was embarrassed by them and spread his hands and said, "I said that I didn't make a move on him, is he unlucky, do you believe it?" ”
None of the team members answered, just nodded, and then walked to the palace on their own. Klose knew that he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.... Alas, it seems that the soldier will be buried only after the matter is over ....
With a detailed map of the palace given by the Grand Priest of Ova, Klose and the others quickly found the bedroom where the king was.
There is a team of Praetorian Guards patrolling the entrance to the dormitory. They hid around the corner of the corridor, Klose pointed to the ceiling in the sky, and a member of the team who looked a little like a gecko nodded, and climbed up to the ceiling with ease with his suction cup palm.
Klose was sure that the guy was a gecko and not a lizardman like Ward. Because when it talks to its companions, its tail will break off at the slightest agitation. Therefore, he also got a nickname, called "Brother Tail".... Well, Klose can only say that the nickname is loud.
The tail brother crept up the ceiling to the top of the bedroom. Klose's plan is to use Brother Tail to lure this group of patrols away, and then they rush in to save the people with lightning speed!
Diana yawned behind the little lord, and in her opinion such superfluous movements were boring enough. If she wants to say, wouldn't it be over by making a hole in the wall? Why bother.
But Klose said that she was a fool who didn't understand art, and told her to shut up.
"What do you mean by diving into art? It's called art! ”
Well, Diana admits that she doesn't understand what art is in the mouth of this little master, is art just complicating what is already simple?
Feeling as if she had grasped some of the threshold of art, Diana scratched her cheek and thought to herself, maybe she could become very artistic in the future! For example, do 3,000 squats before each meal, which can not only maintain your figure but also be appetizing, and it also looks very artistic~ Well, yes, it's such a pleasant decision.
