As we looked expectantly, Reed, dressed in a black suit and holding a pistol in both hands, quickly appeared as he ran along the crash fence on the side of the road, nodded to us when he saw us, and then his eyes fell on the hillside on the other side of the road.

Based on Reed's vigilant reaction, I instantly came to the conclusion that the enemy who attacked us was hiding on the other side of the road, but unfortunately I hadn't paid much attention to that hillside before, so I didn't know where the enemy was hiding, only that there were not too many trees planted on that hillside.

Just as I was thinking, Reed's footsteps in a charging posture were in vain, and then we saw an orange-red spark suddenly bloom from the roadbed less than thirty centimeters in front of Reed, and the next moment, "Bang! Gunshots followed. There is no doubt that this is the enemy who discovered Reed's movements, preventing him from moving closer to us.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Reed raised his pistol with lightning speed, and he almost didn't take aim before he detached the trigger, and with the sparks from the muzzle and the crisp sound of the gun, Reed took another step towards us without seeing how the battle would be.

Perhaps Reed's previous counterattack successfully solved the enemy who was staring at him, so the next distance of less than ten meters was quickly crossed by him, when he came to the rear of the body, Reed quickly half-squatted down, he quietly stretched out his head and glanced at the small hill on the other side of the road, to ensure safety, then turned to look at us, seeing that we were all safe and sound, Reed couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Whew...... Thankfully, you're all right, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to deal with Lord Siegel's questioning. ”

"If only you could arrive in time, you know, none of the four of us have guns to defend ourselves......

Generally speaking, in the presence of Reed and other security forces, we really don't need to carry firearms and other items with us, and if there is any problem, Reed and others will appear in front of us as quickly as possible to protect our safety. But there are always times when the unexpected happens, like this time, so I'm really relieved that Reed is here.

"How's it going?"

Then I didn't have the heart to talk nonsense, and directly asked the most important question at the moment. My directness made Reed stunned slightly, and then he came back to his senses and was silent for a while, and then he whispered with a little bitterness on his face: "Your Highness Qi, the situation is not very good......

"Reed, what's wrong?"

After a few minutes of calming down, Alice finally stopped trembling as she had just been, but at this time, seeing Reed's bitter expression, Alice became nervous again, for fear of hearing some bad news—although judging from Reed's bitter expression, there was almost no doubt that the news was good or bad.

"Tell me a little bit."

Reed's expression also made my heart sink, knowing that the situation was probably not optimistic, but in order to understand the situation as soon as possible, I still had to ask what I should ask.

"That's the ......," Reed took a deep breath, "Although I had alerted my men to a possible attack when I left the fair auction house, what we didn't expect was that the enemy would actually plant remote-controlled mines on the road!" ”

At this point, Reed's face was turning iron-blue.

"If that's all we want, we can detect these mines in advance, after all, whether it's Alice's Maffei S320 limousine or the Maffei S300 limousine we are riding, they are all modified, and targeted improvements have been made for such possible attacks, but when the remote-controlled mine exploded, we didn't detect their presence at all!"

I could notice the look of pain in Reed's eyes, and the fact that his quietly clenched fists revealed the fact that his heart was fluctuating, which made me wonder: maybe there were Reed's friends on the bombed-out vehicle?

"In fact, we didn't notice their existence until it exploded and blew up the Maffei S300 limousine that was following me......," Reed couldn't help but hang his head as he spoke, burying the increasingly obvious expression of pain in the shadows, "I think you also know what happened after that, Your Highness, we were attacked by unknown people, they were outnumbered, plus the four guards lost by the blown up Mafei S300 limousine, so our current manpower is no longer enough to deal with the enemy's attack, For now, we can only remain on the defensive. ”

Reed is worthy of the role of the captain of the royal guard in the Scandinavian kingdom, not to mention his previous reflexes and shooting ability, just say that he is now clearly analyzed and explained, you can know that he is very experienced in this kind of battle, otherwise he would not have given the above concise and clear conclusion so quickly.

"I suspect that either the mines laid by the enemy used special materials, or the corresponding systems of all vehicles failed...... However, I prefer the first possibility, after all, Alice's appearance was completely accidental, and unless the enemy already knew that Alice would definitely come to meet you, it was unlikely that he would do anything earlier. ”

After a moment of silence, Reed looked up and added. And after listening to Reed's analysis, I also nodded in agreement with Reed's point of view, although in fact, Alice's appearance seems to me to be a completely inevitable thing - as long as we can successfully photograph the Corzi Islands, the result will be self-evident.

After pondering for a moment, I suddenly asked, "You mean...... Is the enemy blowing up the Maffei S300 limousine following you? Hearing this, Reed thought about it for a while, and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, His Highness Qi." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Reed you're following us, aren't you?" Reid continued to nod, "So...... The enemy's target is indeed me and Lux, otherwise they won't blow up the Maffei S300 limousine behind you. ”

This is a puzzling sentence, at least Reed, Alice, and Kong Wanying didn't react for a while, but my favorite Lux recalled it in her mind and immediately understood my thoughts, "Kiki is saying? Her eyes widened in surprise and she looked at me in a daze.

"W-What?"

Alice and Kong Wanying, who didn't know what we were talking about, looked at us inexplicably, and at this time, Reed also reacted, "In this way, the mines planted by the enemy must have used special materials, which will make the detection system fail." ”

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Kong Wanying, who didn't understand what we were talking about, interrupted Reed's next words anxiously, which made Reed raise his eyebrows, and looked at Kong Wanying a little speechlessly, with a meaning in his eyes: Since you don't know, why are you still involved?

"Hmm......" Seeing Alice and Kong Wanying's puzzled expressions, Lux thought about it and opened her mouth to explain: "I don't know if Sister Wanying and Alice still remember the order of the vehicles when they set off?" Without waiting for Alice and Kong Wanying to express their opinions, Lux continued: "The first one is our car, the second is the car driven by Reed, and the third and fourth are all cars used by other guards. ”

"Assuming Alice doesn't show up, and we don't catch Alice's car, the order of the convoy will be that our car is in the middle, the other guards' vehicles are in front of us to protect us, and the mines that have been planted blow up the car we were supposed to be in...... That's why Kiki said that the enemy's target was people and Kiki. ”

Hearing this, Alice and Kong Wanying were stunned for a long time, and after a long time, Kong Wanying muttered to herself, "There is a line of separation...... That's the real thing...... If it weren't for our temporary intention to take the Maffei S320 limousine, it would ...... We're dead now......"

"A thin line...... Is it? ”
