"Can you judge the identity of the other party?"

Lotus asked Melti, mainly to know whether this group was from the Empire or from the Frontier Grand Duke's side.

Although, he basically already has the answer in his heart.

"It should be people from the Empire, and a few people mentioned things from the Empire during their chats. Melti didn't have to wait long before she heard what she wanted about her identity, and she came to her senses.

"Is it really the Empire......" Lotus was not surprised, it was similar to what he expected.

The group of people in front of them are hiding in the shadows and ambushing, if it is the people of the border Grand Duke's forces that rule the city, then there is obviously no need to be so sneaky,

Only the people on the other side of the empire will hide and act because they need to be afraid of the power of the Grand Duke of the border.

"Can we get rid of them all without alarming the garrison in the city?" asked Lotus.

"You can try. Merti was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Really?!" Lotus asked tentatively, not expecting Merti to answer in the affirmative.

"Hmm. Merti nodded slightly, then looked at Lotus.

"Do it now?"

"If you're sure, it's up to you. Lotus took a deep breath and asked, "Do you need our help?"

"No, you don't. Melty thought for a moment, then shook her head.

This simple refusal made the three of Lotus a little shocked. But they also understand that in the current situation, what is needed is not large-scale group operations, but as powerful as possible individual elite stealth assassination capabilities.

In this respect, the gap between them and Merti is simply too great. Melti can achieve far more results alone than if they were to help together.

However, loss is loss, but the three Lotus still have a lot of trust in Melti's ability, which stems from Melti's strong performance in turning the tide many times before.

Melti, who has performed miraculously many times so far, has made old-timers like Lotus and others who have experienced decades of life experience gradually begin to have a kind of admiration for her.

Lotus They have no resistance to this, but they are a little ashamed - but they are not ashamed of their own old-timers who worship a young junior who is less than twenty years old, but ashamed of the terrifying strength of others at such a young age, they have lived for decades but are not even half of the others.

Melti didn't care about the strange eyes that Lotus and the others looked at her, and after determining that she needed to fight, she directly took out the crossbow she was carrying, took out the crossbow arrows from the quiver, loaded them, and silently stuck against the wall of the alley towards the location of an enemy she perceived.

In order to avoid being discovered by these ambushes of the Empire, Melti deliberately made a large circle, and quietly approached the enemy with the help of some grass in the alleys and streets. Every step she took was not slow, but when she landed, every step was completely silent, quieter than a cat walking.

Naturally, those who were lurking in the shadows were not aware of Melti's approach, and they did not even realize that their whereabouts had been discovered by the enemy.

At some point, Merti silently lurked beside a man hiding under the corner of the box and draped in a layer of burlap that was close to the color of the surrounding stone brick walls, and then suddenly accelerated a few steps, and at once scurried to the person's side.

The slight sound of breaking wind caused by the acceleration finally caught the attention of this man, and he had just turned his head alertly to look in the direction where the sound came from, when he suddenly saw a faint cold light flashing in his field of vision.

Poof!

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh resounded in the alley, but it was too faint to come out, only within ten paces.

......

They are still like that, let alone the oldest Lotus even among them.

The knights didn't know how to speak, but Melti didn't have too many scruples, and said directly: "Those two people betrayed and plotted against His Royal Highness the Prince, and they have been killed by me." ”

"What?!" Lotus glared at Melti in shock, but he quickly calmed down again at Melti's always calm face.

Taking a deep breath, Lotus lowered his voice and said slowly, "You don't mind telling me, do you?"

"Let me explain. At this time, Prince Henry walked up and spoke with a cold face.

It took a few minutes for Lotus to finally understand what was going on.

"I'm really sorry, Your Royal Highness, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen again among my subordinates, and it was all due to my dereliction of duty. Without hesitation, Lotus knelt down before Prince Henry to express his apologies.

Prince Henry was still in a gloomy mood because he remembered the experience of being in danger before, but seeing Lotus apologize so sincerely at this moment, the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart couldn't help but dissipate.

"Get up, Rots, you don't have to, I know, it's not your fault. Let's leave it at that. There's more important things to do now, isn't there?" Prince Henry waved his hand, signaling that the matter would not be pursued further.

"Yes. Lotus replied respectfully, then stood up.

"Fortunately, after entering the city, after some vague exploration, we finally found the address of the stronghold, and also met the envoy of the allies, and succeeded in reaching a preliminary intention of unification with him. He is willing to help us contact the higher-level leaders of the allies, so that the upper echelons of the allies can come and negotiate with us on the cooperation plan between the two sides. ”

"Next, the allies will send special personnel to meet us, and we will only have to wait for about a day. Before that, we were invited to rest in the city and recharge for the arrival of the receiving troops. ”

"In addition, I asked Duolun to explore the stronghold mentioned by His Royal Highness the Prince, and indeed made some discoveries, but because I was afraid of attracting the attention of the border Grand Dukes in the city, I did not go to explore the stronghold in broad daylight, but only confirmed the authenticity of the address from a distance. We're going to wait until after dark, gather more men, and explore the colony. ”

"Well done, Lotus Qing. Prince Henry's face couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Without further ado, Your Highness, it is already getting dark, and if you wait until it gets dark, the number of people entering and leaving the city gates will become far less than during the day, and if you enter the city at that time, it will become more conspicuous. ”

Lotus looked up at the orange sunset that was gradually setting in the west, and said: "This is the right time, many people who go out to work choose to return to the city at this time, and the frequency of people at the city gate is very high, and if we get mixed in, it will not be easy to attract attention." ”

Lotus pointed to the outside of the camp, and said, "The carriage and clothes that I need, Duolun and I have already purchased them, and now we will park outside the camp, and then we just need to change our clothes and carry the necessary salutes into the carriage." ”

"Then do what Qing says. Prince Henry nodded, and had no objection to this.

Just as Lotus was about to gather the knights to start the move, Merti suddenly approached him and asked, "Are you sure that the so-called allied envoys are reliable?

"What's wrong?" Lotus asked, stunned for a moment.

"The two rebels before revealed a very important piece of information. Melti's expression became solemn, and she said, "The Empire has discovered some of these strongholds arranged by the former king through some unknown means. I doubt it...... The stronghold in the city of the border fortress may have also been exposed. ”

"And such a thing?!" Lotus was taken aback.

"That's right, these two traitors just told me when they threatened me, and Melti must have heard it at that time. Prince Henry nodded in confirmation of Melti's words.

"If that's the case, it's a real possibility. Lotus's face became solemn.

After all, the empire had already predicted their course of action, and according to common sense, in the case of knowing in advance that the previous king of the kingdom had arranged such a stronghold, Prince Henry led to the city of Biansai, and the existing information of the imperial high-level would naturally suspect that there was something more important to Prince Henry in the city of Biansai, and then think of conjectures such as the stronghold left by the former king of country A in the city of Biansai.

Although he was on guard because of Melti's words, Lotus did not intend to cancel the action plan.

There may have been a problem with the stronghold in the city of Frontier, but it is likely that there is no problem, and it is not worth abandoning a stronghold just because of an unproven conjecture.

So in the end, Lotus still planned to lead his men to really investigate the situation of the stronghold after dark.

The group packed up and changed their clothes, but not all of them left the camp for the city.

After all, their armor, weapons, and horses must be left behind to avoid unnecessary attention because they are different from their own status, so someone must stay and take care of them.

Soon, Lotus was able to select the members who needed to come with him into the city.

Among them, Melti and Prince Henry, as well as the princess, are bound to enter the city with the team. They were joined by eight White Rose Knights. Those who remained in the camp were the remaining seven.

The group boarded the carriage disguised as an ordinary farm cart and walked towards the side of the Frontier City.

Originally, Melti was still very cautious and vigilant, because at times like this, the later the mission, the more difficult it will be.

Even, Merti boldly guessed that there might be something wrong with the so-called allied envoy, such as being found and bribed by the empire a long time ago, and betraying everyone, but in fact, things went unexpectedly smoothly.

He successfully passed the inspection at the city gate, successfully checked into the hotel booked by the envoy of the allies, and successfully came to the vicinity of the stronghold again in the dead of night after dark.

"Stop. In the darkness, Melty's deep voice suddenly sounded.

At this moment, she, along with Lotus and the two knights, Duoren and Buck, came to the vicinity of the stronghold in the city that they had explored during the day, and after stepping within two hundred meters of this stronghold, Merti suddenly made a noise that made the other three stop.

"What's wrong? Could it be ......" Lotus all three of them changed their faces slightly, and suddenly thought of something, and then their faces sank.

"As you might have guessed...... My idea during the day has come true, there are already many people in this stronghold who have arrived first, and an ambush has been set up!" The four of Melti stood at the mouth of a secluded alley, staring at the building of the stronghold from a distance, and she sighed: "There are at least ten people hiding inside, and there are no less than forty people lurking in this vicinity, and the stronghold has been completely surrounded. If we go a hundred meters further, we'll be in their encirclement! And we're likely to be spotted by them. ”

Hearing this, for a while, the cold sweat of the three of them was scared out a lot.

"Merti, are you sure?" Lotus gritted his teeth: "If there was an ambush here, then we came to investigate during the day, would they have noticed it?

Melti gave Lotus a strange look: "You're thinking too much. During the day, I can be sure that there is no stalker behind you, otherwise I would have said it a long time ago. Don't forget my senses. ”

"Whew...... That's good. Lotus relaxed.

Melti said softly, "Don't worry, come to think of it, they don't have a defensive line during the day."
