Chapter 354: Difficulty Increases
Not long after Wu Fei and Meng Tian were rescued, a secret order was secretly and quickly sent to the island where the Japanese emperor lived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The info was passed on layer by layer and finally reached the hands of the emperor.
Although Wu Fei and Meng Tian were freed from the shackles, their behavior left a great hidden danger for the members who carried out the assessment task. As early as yesterday, when they met with the Saintess, the descendant of the cherry blossom tree on this island, the other party had already begun to doubt their identity. However, in order not to make them suspicious, the other party pretended not to find anything, and chose to do it at night. The wine they drank was infused with the Ecstasy Herb, which has the effect of paralyzing the nerves of the brain, which is the best proof of this.
As for the mastermind behind instructing Xiao Er in the wine shop to pour the divine grass into the wine that the two of them drank, it was the saint and the mayor.
During the daytime yesterday, although Wu Fei and Meng Tian were wearing clothes and appearances, they were almost no different from the original inhabitants who were born and raised on the island. However, language has become the biggest flaw in the identities of the two of them. Moreover, Meng Tian also spoke Chinese in front of the saint, which would be really intolerable if it was not suspected.
It is precisely because of this that the identities of the two of them were suspected by the mayor of the island and the holy woman, so that a series of events happened next. When the two of them were fully controlled by the effects of the Ecstasy, the mayor sent the island's guards to remove all of their clothing, leaving only the last fig leaf, which was then tied to the stakes that were used to punish some of the island's wrongdoers. Secondly, a letter written by the Holy Maiden herself was quickly sent out of the island and headed for the palace in the east.
Obviously, Wu Fei and Meng Tian had been identified by them as spies from other foreign lands, who had come to their country to collect and steal information. What's next after gathering intelligence? That is to carry out strategic deployment, and there is a high probability that there will be a war between the two countries. Therefore, out of consideration for their own national security, they had to make such a countermeasure.
It takes at least twelve hours for the medicinal effect of the Ecstasy Herb to fail, which is the only fact that they have come to after a lot of repeated certifications and experiments. Therefore, they were relieved to leave Wu Fei and Meng Tian alone on the stake, without setting up guards. However, they ignored Wu Fei, a strange and freak who cannot be measured by common sense. How could a mere hemp rope bind him? It's similar to the chain of black iron made by 10,000 years of dark iron.
The emperor sitting in the main hall of the imperial palace immediately blew his beard and glared after receiving the secret order passed by the holy maiden: "! There are so little fish and shrimp who don't have long eyes to come to my Sea Dragon King's territory to make trouble, is this okay? As the so-called uncle can tolerate the aunt, he immediately ordered the activation of the national first-level warning mode.
After the first warning mode was activated, all the guards on the six islands that make up Japan were dispatched to carry out round-the-clock patrols. Anyone found suspicious was taken back to a specific interrogation room before being allowed to leave. The island located due east, as the capital island of the whole country, is of course more than a hundred times stronger than the other five islands. For a time, the whole of Japan was in a serious and tense atmosphere. The 300,000 soldiers, who make up one-third of the country's population, are also ready to wait for the emperor after receiving the secret order from the Holy Maiden.
The members of the assessment who woke up this morning looked at the teams of guards and patrol officers who were constantly patrolling the streets outside the inn, and they all looked confused and didn't know why. They don't understand why there are so many more soldiers patrolling after the night, when they were fine yesterday. Could it be that the traces of their actions last night were exposed?
However, before they could think further, Soul Eater summoned them to the room to discuss the specific steps and plans for today's action.
"Captain"!
After arriving at the Soul Eater's room, all the assessment members invariably turned to the Soul Eater standing in front of them.
"Well, everyone is here, right?"
"It's all there"!
In response to the Soul Eater's question, the man number three responded.
Before he participated in the assessment, he was a pioneer officer under the Soul Eater, so in the current assessment team, he has become the same position as the Soul Eater.
"Well, everyone must have known the situation outside. The rapid increase in the number of defensive forces in the surrounding streets has caused great trouble for our operations. This is something I didn't anticipate before, and now that it's happening, we have to adapt to it. Therefore, today's reservation is still scheduled to remain unchanged and will continue as usual. According to the previous arrangement, on the third, fifth, and twelfth days, a few of you will be answered outside, and the rest will follow me into the palace, find the Empress and take him out immediately.
Note that you must be careful in this process, do not alarm the guards if you can, and try to avoid getting into trouble. After completing the mission, we retreated according to the predetermined route, and then arrived at the meeting point mentioned by Zero and One, and the assessment mission was successfully completed. So, did you hear it clearly"?
"Yes, One"!
In the face of Soul Eater's inquiry, everyone responded in unison.
"Okay, let's take a break and start moving as soon as the sun goes down."
"Yes"!
After the strategic planning and deployment of the mission was completed, all the members returned to their rooms and began to rest and recharge. Last night, they fought all night without a moment's rest, so they were also exhausted at this time, and their bodies were in urgent need of recuperation. After everyone had left, Eater of Souls was alone in front of the window in the room, his cold eyes staring at the soldiers patrolling the streets outside.
He couldn't figure out why there had been such a big change in the amount of money in just one night. As everyone knows, this situation was caused by Wu Fei and Meng Tian. Now that the difficulty of their mission has been raised to a new level, it has been raised to the next level.
No matter which link changes in the course of carrying out the mission, it may lead to the serious consequences of the total annihilation of the army. So, just in case, he had to change his original plan to act during the day to night, also to avoid so many guards.
If it weren't for the exposure of Meng Tian and Wu Fei's identities, their assessment tasks would not have become so tricky.
"This ..... It seems like we've done something wrong. Now, they have to face not only the guards in the palace, but also more than 300,000 troops from all over the country."
The situation of the Soul Eater and all the assessment members, Wu Fei saw it clearly through the real-time monitoring screen of the pulse aircraft. That's why he said this.
"Well, yes, Master Hou, our actions seem to have added a lot of stumbling blocks to them."
Seeing this, Meng Tian next to him also scratched the back of his head in some embarrassment and responded. (To be continued.) )
