Gu Lichuan and the others stepped forward, and by the faint sunlight shining in from outside the door, everyone could see the face of the person who came—a middle-aged man, in rags, with fear written on his face, with a look of exhaustion.

"Didn't you say there's no one here?" Mu Yi asked the purple-haired girl, turning his head.

"yes, that's the only one I know. There was also a hint of trepidation on the purple-haired girl's face, if this place was already known, it would be a matter of time before they were discovered by the aliens.

The white fox looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Where are you from?" Xingchen looked at the middle-aged man coldly, completely ignoring his frightened expression.

"If you want me to see it, let's kill it directly, the province's extraneous branches. The white fox looked at the stars, and his knife rubbed against the man's neck.

"No, don't kill me!" the middle-aged man said hurriedly, "The people in the city have been captured, I have to hide desperately, I am sleepy and tired to find here, I ......"

"What did you say?!" Hearing this, the purple-haired girl rushed to the middle-aged man with an arrow step, grabbing his tattered clothes, "You said that the people in the city were all captured?"

"yes. The middle-aged man looked at the purple-haired girl's anxious look, and then looked at the white fox's knife, and his face was sad.

The purple-haired girl looked at the white fox: "Can you put the knife down?" he is not a spy, the people of Moonlight City will never betray their city, not to mention that he can't be your opponent now." ”

The white fox looked at the purple-haired girl and said with a smile: "Since it was your request, okay." As he spoke, he put away the knife in his hand, but still held the handle of the knife and looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said to the purple-haired girl: "Three days ago, the barrier against aliens built by 'Yuehua' suddenly disappeared for some reason, and the aliens took this opportunity to attack in a big way, and the city was caught off guard, although they resisted desperately, they were still invincible to the aliens. ”

"And what's going on now?" asked the purple-haired girl.

"Now that the city has fallen, and the aliens have taken over the palace, the king and the princess, as well as the captured soldiers, have been imprisoned in the dungeons, and the people of the city have been taken into slavery. The middle-aged man frowned and looked at the ground in despair.

"No wonder we ran for so long without seeing a person. Ying Lan said on the side.

What can I do about this, it was already troublesome enough to just take Yuehua, but now there is such a mess, how to complete this task. Gu Lichuan listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but feel a little more worried.

"What can I do, let alone complete the task now, I may not even be able to save my life. The white fox frowned.

Mu Yi looked at him and laughed: "Don't be funny, aren't you just monsters like cats and dogs, one star is enough, not to mention that we are all on the move." ”

The middle-aged man looked at these young people in front of him, talking and laughing without fear, and stopped talking for a while.

"What do you want to say?" Xingchen saw that the middle-aged man had something to say, so he asked him.

"I see that you don't know much about aliens, they, they are all born with strange powers, and they are brutal and bloodthirsty, just rely on a ......few of you" The middle-aged man looked at Gu Lichuan and the others, his face was suspicious, but because he was frightened, he still stumbled and stumbled, "I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I'm going to die and find a way out. ”

"Uncle, are you underestimating us too much," Mu Yi stepped forward, looking dissatisfied, "We don't even bother to fight with that alien race, you know?"

"Otherwise, let's go and wipe out all the aliens in one go, and then discuss the matter of Yuehua with the king. Ying Lan said.

"Actually, that's the only way. Xingchen nodded.

"No!" the purple-haired girl's voice broke the harmonious and pleasant atmosphere of everyone's chat, "Your Excellency is still in their hands, if you attack rashly, even if you can successfully strangle the enemy army, Your Majesty will definitely be implicated." Even if the king is fine, the people will definitely be slaughtered!"

"The king, if you die, you will change another one," the white fox waved his hand nonchalantly, "The people, it is not under our management. Besides, the tide of the people is mighty, and it doesn't matter how many people die. ”

"How can this be!" the purple-haired girl roared at the white fox, her shoulders trembled with anger for a while, and it seemed that tears would burst out of her eyes in the blink ......of an eye, which caused the white fox to frown again and again, "How can you disregard the lives of others for your own selfish interests! What is the difference between you and the intruders?

"You're right, we do care about other people's lives," the white-haired girl smiled, his face full of banter, "because that's our job." ”

"What did you say?" choked on the white fox's answer, the purple-haired girl asked incredulously.

"You let me care about the life and death of others, who cares about our life and death?" The smile on the white fox's face changed color, and a gloomy and mockery slowly emerged, "In our line of work, the main job is to kill people. It doesn't matter if you have nothing, you don't have a lot of money, and there are not a few people who have power over a country, but as long as the knife is swung out and the trigger is pulled down, it is just bloody flesh. ”

The purple-haired girl was startled by the white fox's reaction, and frowned at a loss.

"Alright, don't chatter, it's annoying. Ying Lan grabbed the white fox's clothes and dragged him aside.

"But if you don't destroy the alien ......," Mu Yi began, "how can you complete the mission?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, and the room fell silent for a while, except for the faint echo of the howls of aliens outside.

"Actually, what this girl said is right," Gu Lichuan's voice broke the silence of everyone, "We really shouldn't abandon the king and the people for our own selfish desires. ”

"Then what else can you do?" asked the white fox impatiently.

Gu Lichuan took out a short flashlight from behind his waist and looked at the purple-haired girl: "Can you help me draw the whole picture of Moonlight City?"

The purple-haired girl looked embarrassed: "I've been away from home for many years, and I don't remember it anymore. ”

"Is that so......" Gu Lichuan lowered his head and pursed his lips.

"Well, do you want a map?" At this time, the middle-aged man who had been silently raised his hand and said, "I can draw it." ”

"Looks like I was right I didn't kill him. The white fox smiled.

Five minutes later, everyone squatted together around the topographic map, Gu Lichuan holding a flashlight in one hand and a dagger in the other.

"Look, we should be here now," he said, Gu Lichuan took a dagger and clicked at the dwelling in the picture, "It takes about twenty minutes to get from here to the northernmost palace." The dungeon in the southeast is estimated to take only five or six minutes. ”

"Isn't your Moonlight City peaceful and peaceful, how can there be such a thing as a dungeon?" asked the white fox curiously, turning his head to look at the purple-haired girl.

The purple-haired girl glanced at the white fox, clearly rejecting him because of what he had said earlier: "Before the goddess bestowed the Moonlight City with the Holy Relics, the Moonlight City had been fighting with the aliens, and the dungeon was used to imprison the captured alien monsters. ”

"Then your Moonlight City is really not as good as the generation. Shrugging his shoulders, the white fox scoffed.

"You!"

With a muffled sound, Ying Lan's slap fell on the head of the white fox: "Can you let Lechuan finish speaking." ”

Covering his skull, the white fox bared his teeth and looked at Gu Lichuan: "You say, you say." ”

Schadenfreude smiled, Gu Lichuan looked at Xingchen: "If you attack the palace, it will definitely attract the attention of the aliens, and it will take almost an hour for the news to reach the dungeon, if you can successfully contain the forces of the palace, then you can create enough time for the rescue of the royal family." ”

"What do you mean......" Xingchen narrowed his eyes, as if he had guessed Gu Lichuan's intentions.

Gu Lichuan nodded: "Our soldiers are divided into two routes, one way to attack the imperial city, and the other way to rescue the king and the captured soldiers. Although this led to the dispersion of combat power, as long as the king could be rescued, he could unite his troops and attack the imperial city with all his might, crushing the alien forces. ”

"In this way, it is equivalent to helping the royal family of Moonlight City save the country, so we will have the bargaining chips in our hands to exchange for Yuehua. Ying Lan said on the side.

"That's it. Gu Lichuan nodded.

"Then how should we assign tasks?" Mu Yi stood up and looked down at the imperial city on the map.

"I think," Gu Lichuan also stood up, so everyone got up with him, "Xingchen, White Fox and Mu Yi, the three of you go to attack the Imperial City, Xingchen and White Fox attack from the main gate to attract troops, and Mu Yi can hide on the Purple Wind Mountain on the edge of the Imperial City and wait for the opportunity to make a move, causing panic to the foreign army." ”

After speaking, Gu Lichuan turned his head to look at Ying Lan again: "And Ying Lan and I went to sneak attack the dungeon, although there are also alien guards, but the troops are definitely not as many as those in the imperial city, with Ying Lan's ability, we will definitely be able to break through." ”

"But this may not be too risky, once you are scattered, it will be equivalent to giving the alien race a chance to defeat one by one. The middle-aged man on the side spoke again, "What's more, no matter how skilled you are, just a mouthful of spit from a foreign race stationed in the imperial city is enough to drown you."

The white fox looked up at him, a hint of confusion flashing in his squinting eyes. But he still responded: "You don't have to talk nonsense, when the time comes, you will know why we dare to break into the camp alone." ”

"I've also considered whether our entire team can go to rescue the royal family first and then attack the alien race, but if that happens, not only will the tail be too big, but the alien army will have time to prepare to attack, and the strength of the Moonlight City will even be a problem for defense, and the positional battle between the two armies will definitely be defeated," Gu Wangchuan looked down at the map and said calmly, "And now the alien army is scattered all over the Moonlight City, and their strength is more than enough. The attack is not enough, as long as the stars can suppress them, and we will be able to crush the enemy when we arrive later. ”

Everyone listened to Gu Lichuan's explanation and nodded in agreement.

I didn't expect Gu Lichuan to not only have strong fighting ability, but also be so calm and wise, thoughtful and thoughtful, and so good-looking and gentle. Thinking in her heart, Ying Lan silently looked at Gu Lichuan's side face, and a smile welled up on her cheeks.

"To be able to think of such a well-thought-out plan in such a short period of time, even the boss may not be able to do it. Gu Lichuan, you can really do it. Mu Yi stepped forward and patted Gu Lichuan on the shoulder.

Gu Lichuan was a little embarrassed: "Where, it's just a big plan, instead of being busy, it's better to plan first." That's just what I thought. As he spoke, Gu Lichuan looked to the side, just in time to meet Ying Lan's smiling gaze. Gu Lichuan smiled at Yinglan, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he lowered his head and looked at the floor plan on the ground.

"But...... There is another question," the white fox slowly leaned over and pointed at the purple-haired girl and the middle-aged man, "What about these two people? Let them follow me and Xingchen to attack the main gate of the imperial city?"

"Well, I haven't really thought about that. Gu Lichuan looked at the two people standing in front of them in embarrassment.

Hearing this, the purple-haired girl hurriedly stepped forward and said to Gu Lichuan: "Please let me follow you, I, I and important people are trapped in the dungeon, I am going to find him." ”

The middle-aged man also responded: "Please let me come with you, after all, I am familiar with the environment of Moonlight City, and the dungeon is hidden and full of mechanisms, please let me show you the way." ”

"Oh, hey, now the two natives have followed Gu Lichuan, what can we do," the white fox ran to Xingchen and complained, "If we get lost, it will be bad." ”

Xingchen pushed away the face of the white fox coming forward with great disgust: "The most majestic and magnificent building in the entire Moonlight City in the Imperial City, as long as you are not blind, you can walk there. ”

"Oh well. The white fox reluctantly stepped aside.

"I think it's safer for that girl to stay here," Ying Lan said to Gu Lichuan, "After all, we are fighting against soldiers of different races, and as you saw just now, their physical functions are far from being matched by ordinary people, and that uncle seems to be able to handle it, but I really don't have confidence in that girl." ”

Gu Lichuan listened, nodded, and said to the purple-haired girl, "I think it's better for you to stay here." ”

"No!" the purple-haired girl's attitude was unexpectedly resolute, "I must go to the dungeon, please take me there!"

"Could it be that her soldier brother is locked up inside?" the white fox began to think nonsense on the side again.

"If you want to stay here, you will stay here, where is there so much nonsense," Ying Lan said, took out the gun on her waist, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the purple-haired girl's head under the surprised eyes of Gu Lichuan and the white fox, "Either stay here or die, you choose." ”

The purple-haired girl looked into Ying Lan's eyes, and for a moment, the atmosphere became tense. The purple-haired girl didn't have a choice, she just slowly closed her eyes, and everyone knew what she meant—she must follow Gu Lichuan, if she is not allowed, but beg for death.

Stunned for a moment, a hint of pity flashed in her amber eyes. Sighing lightly, Ying Lan put away her gun: "Since you insist on following, then I can't help it." It's just that I can't care about your safety when the time comes, and don't rely on us if something happens. ”

The purple-haired girl opened her eyes with a grateful look on her face, "Hmm!"

"It's ...... now" Gu Lichuan took out the liaison, looked at the westward sunshine outside the door, and said with a very strong sense of disobedience, "It's 2:25 in the morning, you must hold on to the stars until after 3:25, the longer the better." ”

Xingchen looked at him and nodded.

"Of course," Gu Lichuan spoke again, with a smile on his face, "It would be great if we could directly strangle all the troops in the Imperial City." ”

Hearing this, Xingchen smiled slightly.

The white fox quietly approached Ying Lan's side and sneakily patted Ying Lan on the shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Ying Lan looked back at his mysterious appearance, a little amused.

"You have to watch out for that uncle," the white fox whispered, "he's not as simple as you think." ”

"What do you mean?" Ying Lan asked softly while looking at the middle-aged man as she saw that the white fox's tone was so serious.

"When I put the knife on his neck just now, although he looked very frightened, he hesitated for a second, as if he was thinking about how to pretend to be a timid little citizen," the white fox said, "And how can a citizen be idle and bored all day long studying the floor plan of his own city, and can also discuss the deployment of combat with Gu Lichuan, no matter what, I can't believe that he is an innocent passerby." ”

"Well," Hearing this, Ying Lan nodded, "I'll be careful." ”

"Then let's disperse here. Gu Lichuan turned his head to look at everyone, turned around and walked out the door first, Ying Lan walked beside him, and the purple-haired girl and the middle-aged uncle followed closely.

The white fox looked at Gu Lichuan who was walking in the sunlight, and suddenly laughed with relief. Mu Yi walked up to him: "What are you laughing at?"

"If you had a teammate worthy of trust, wouldn't you laugh?" The white fox turned his head to look at him, and then looked at Gu Lichuan, under the sunset, Gu Lichuan's figure had a touch of bright red, like a soldier returning to the battlefield, just waiting to move forward.

"That's right. Hearing this, Mu Yi nodded.

"White Fox, don't forget," Xingchen interjected on the side, "Our backs have always been protected by Mu Yi.

After saying that, the three of them also walked out the door.

At the northernmost tip of the Moonlight City, the royal palace at sunset is also painted with a hint of bright red. From time to time, the dignified and majestic palace heard the roars of aliens and the screams of humans. On top of the high pavilion, a figure stood in front of the window, tall and powerful, and the armor on his body carried a strong smell of blood and savagery. The palace maid standing beside him was very thin and small by the tall figure, and the maid lowered her head in fear and trembled.

"I heard that night is the most beautiful time in Moonlight City?" the figure began, his voice a little hoarse.

"Yes, yes. The maid answered, not daring to look up.

"Is it because of the moonlight?" the figure turned its head, revealing its abominable face—the head of an eyeless worm.

"Hmm. The maid nodded.

"Moonlight is also common to me, why is it different in this Moonlight City than outside the gate?" the worm tilted its head, unable to see any expression.

"Just because ...... Just because the city of moonlight is stable and peaceful. The maid replied in a low voice, groveling in a pitiful manner.

"Calm and peaceful?" the worm bent down to look at the maid, who sensed it approaching and stepped back in fear.

"Your moonlit city is stable and peaceful, but you have excluded our people, and they have suffered from the sun and rain, and they have no peace all day long. The worm chuckled softly, reaching out to lift the maid's face.

The maid was forced to look up, speechless for a moment, trembling all over, her brows furrowed, and her eyes full of fear.

"Now that we're back, let your Moonlit City soothe our pain with blood. The worm spoke, slowly opening its mouth, and a long, crimson tentacle came out of its mouth, gently licking the terrified maid. Watching in horror as the crimson tentacle roamed across her face, the maid's face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes.

A moment later, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor. The worm was licking its lips with its long tentacles, as if it had just finished a snack.

"Report!" a monitor lizard in armor and an alien werewolf rushed in and knelt on one knee, "There is a purple light from the central square, and a group of foreign nations come out of the purple light, and we try our best to stop it, but we can't succeed." ”

"Unsuccessful?" the worm tilted its bloated, mucus-covered head, "and what are you doing here?"

The werewolf hurriedly raised his head, revealing his head burned by the flames: "He, they are too strong, they are all good at fighting against a hundred, and we can only lead the neck to be killed when we go forward with all our strength!"

"You don't think you're going to be killed now?" the worm interrupted.

Hearing this, the werewolf suddenly felt bad. With a flick, the worm monster disappeared. The werewolf was startled, and just wanted to get up and flee, only to hear a "poof", the werewolf's head flew to the side of the pillar, and hot blood gushed out from his neck. The worm monster stood behind the werewolf, shook off the wolf blood from his hand, and with a light kick, the werewolf's corpse fell to the ground. Seeing that the worm monster had easily killed the werewolf, the monitor lizard suddenly sweated like rain, turned around and kowtowed to the worm monster like pounding garlic: "King!

"Spare your life?" said the worm monster disdainfully, "I don't want to." ”

A dark shadow covered the dragon's fear-filled face, growing bigger and bigger.

The screams of monitor lizards echoed through the hallways. Soon, the palace returned to calm, and the scenery was restored to the same as before, the sunset, in front of the window, and the tall figure looking at the distant mountains, only the palace maid who was standing was missing.

"Coming with the purple light in the sky?" the worm muttered to himself, watching the sun sink in the west, and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, as soon as it stretched out its hand, an alien warrior stepped forward and stood with his hands.

"Go, invite Yue Hongxuan," turning around, the disgusting face was no longer there, replaced by a handsome and resolute man's face, "I want to discuss Yuehua's affairs with him personally." ”

Distant mountains, sunset. The moonlight is slowly becoming clearer.
