Chapter 153: The Fog of War

Wren had been in the temple tribe for several months, so he naturally knew that under the pit was the temple of the seventy-two god generals and knights of the Monkel civilization.

But even the witch sacrifice Marfa said that no one came up alive after going down, it was a "place of death".

Wren also knew that Ymir was coming for the temple.

Not to mention whether His Royal Highness has a "Divine Power Crystal", even if there is, he feels that he should also persuade Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and let her not go to death.

What's more, in this forest, no one can escape the perception of the Colemans.

Coleman's priests would not only domesticate monsters to become scouts, but also all sorts of bugs, plants, and even rain.

When the time comes, the "elder-level" masters will be dispatched, not to mention who wins and who loses, and the fight will definitely hurt both sides.

Both sides are allies, and Wren doesn't want to see them fight to the death.

Then, he volunteered to take over the task of "persuading him to quit".

......

Wren, Bazel, and the "Ghost Mushroom Elder" Darle and a group of Beast Knights went to the area where the wave of "enemies" had been discovered.

After two days of traveling, they finally stopped in an area where the "fog of war" was clearly artificially arranged.

Obviously, Yumir and they came and made ample preparations.

"Dr. Wren, those people are in that wetland right now. But they're very alert, and they're all masters, and we haven't been sure where they're located..."

"I see, let's go in with Bazell seniors."

"Well, Dr. Wren, be careful. If there is anything out of the ordinary, take care of yourself, and our warriors will rush in immediately. ”

"Okay."

After a brief conversation, the Coleman warriors of the brigade disappeared into the forest.

Wren walked into the fog.

The "Fog of War" was a man-made fog that was necessary for marching and was the favorite method used by the Assassins.

In the thick fog where you can't see your fingers, the Assassin Gate is like a wandering ghost, easily slitting the throats of your foes. And for a werewolf like Bazel who is good at stealth and reconnaissance, this fog is also his best disguise.

Obviously, there must be high-ranking assassins lurking on the periphery.

There is no need to take the initiative to look for it, once the "prey" enters the ambush circle, those assassins will naturally come to the door in the morning.

Wren didn't dare to be careless, and he was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he directly put the coat of arms that Ymir gave him on his finger, and then held it in front of him, so that he was afraid that people would not see it.

With Bazel, Wren was afraid that he would guess wrong. If it weren't for Ymir, he himself might be in danger.

The Coleman people were not called in because of their tall figures, and they would definitely cause a big war as soon as they met each other, and the two sides would not have a chance to negotiate at all.

Wren had trained as a professional Assassin for a year, and he knew that Assassins were not only lurking, but also setting traps.

So, instead of cautiously touching in, let someone come to him.

As far as he had gone into the fog, he opened his mouth and shouted: "I am Rennes Hermes, come to negotiate!" ”

He only reported his name, but did not say the name of the eldest princess, for fear that if it was an enemy, there would be room for maneuver.

And his move quickly attracted high-level assassins lurking somewhere.

Just when Wren was completely unaware, a dagger appeared at his feet.

This is a warning: private camps, indicating intentions, trespassers die.

Wren held up the ring and shouted, "My name is Wren, if you know this coat of arms, please take me to the owner of the coat of arms." ”

Wren didn't know if the other party could see it, so he deliberately lit the torch and shone the ring of golden roses.

As soon as he said this, he watched the mist not far away surging slightly, and a cloud of mist quickly condensed into a human figure. Then, in the blink of an eye, he turned into a leather-armored assassin with a gray hood and a masked face.

"What a clever stealth trick!"

Wren sighed in his heart, this extraordinary ability that melts into the fog is really weird.

The assassin looked closely at the ring in Wren's hand, his gaze hidden under the hood was slightly surprised, and he said in a deep voice, "That friend of yours makes me feel very dangerous, I want to know who he is." ”

This is the perceptual circle arranged by others, and although Bazel is a legend, he doesn't think it is possible to hide it from the other party.

He directly revealed his true body, unmasked himself, revealing the face of a bearded Uncle Wolf.

The assassin was obviously stunned, but he didn't expect it to be one of the "Top Ten Legends".

But now that we know, there's nothing to ask.

"Wait a minute, I'll report."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the assassin melted into the fog again

......

Hearing this, the two of them didn't walk around anymore, and just waited where they were.

Bazel looked at the direction in which the assassin disappeared, smacked his lips, and said, "The fifth-order court assassin, Heishuitai's secret stealth ability [Body of Mist Shadow] is very strong. ”

Wren breathed a sigh of relief, since the other party knew this heraldic ring, then the eight achievements in it were Yumir himself.

And they didn't stay long in the fog,

The assassin returned, his voice drifting as if it was unknown which direction he was in, "Come with me, Your Highness wants to see you." Don't step on it, there are traps. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wren's perception could no longer see people.

But Bazel saw a direction and followed in.

Wren could only follow behind the big guy's ass, carefully stepping on the footprints, and learning exactly the same footwork to go inside.

After walking about a kilometer or two, the fog began to fade, and then they saw a bonfire.

Around the campfire, there were several marching tents.

Six high-level transcendents in full armor were looking at the two of them with curious expressions.

Warriors, mages, assassins, hunters and priests... Very standard expedition team.

There were a few Wren who had seen the portraits on various announcements, and the "smart brain" was also instantly compared.

Once the commander of the First Mechanic of Omar [Storm General] Baron Askepa...

The former chief of the Omadine Knight [Demon Swordsman] Rhein Root...

Royal Monastery of Oma [Archbishop] Friedel...

Each one of them was a well-known fifth-order transcendent, and each one of them was very strong.

Despite wearing a gas mask, Wren recognized Ymir's beautiful long blonde hair and the court sword at her waist.

He walked straight over, made a gentlemanly salute, and greeted, "Your Highness Ymir, long time no see." ”

Ymir was also surprised to see Wren here.

Out of politeness, she also removed her mask, revealing her delicate and immaculate face, and responded, "Long time no see, Dr. Wren." ”

And the subordinates around her stared at Wren curiously.

They are Ymir's descendants, so they naturally know a lot of inside information, and they have also heard of Wren's existence.

Now that I see a real person, I can't help but wonder how this seemingly ordinary low-level transcendent can make Her Royal Highness the eldest princess pay so much attention to it.

What they were even more surprised was that they would actually see a low-level transcendent in the depths of the "Forest of Ashes"?

Any animal or plant here can kill a mid- and low-level transcendent.

But when they saw Bazel beside Rayne, a flash of caution flashed in the eyes of several people.

To make a "Top Ten Legends" as a guard, just by just one point, they know that the young man in front of them must be very difficult.

Of course, Wren knew why these guys' eyes were full of vigilance when they looked at Bazel, after all, once in Stormwind Lake, Bazel had attacked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and almost killed her. This meeting was a little unnatural for both parties.

He hurriedly introduced: "Mr. Bazel is my friend, and he came with me to ensure that I don't die in the mouth of the demonic beast, and there is no malice." ”

“...”

Ymir didn't say much.

After all, in that situation, both of them were calculated by others, and there was really no irresolvable enmity.

Although when she was in the City of Radiance, she knew that Bazel seemed to be protecting Wren for some reason. But now seeing a legendary man escorted someone to the depths of the "Coleman Forest", Ymir was also surprised.

At this moment, she really had countless questions in her heart, so she asked Wren, "You came specifically to find me?" And also... How did you know I was here? ”

......

Ymir's operation this time is top secret.

In the dense jungle where the trees were taller than the mountains, their group was as inconspicuous as the sand and gravel in the desert. She didn't expect to be directly found in the exact location.

Hearing this, Wren didn't immediately say what he meant, but said to Ymir: "I have something I want to say to you alone. ”

Yu Mier raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "This is my most trusted subordinate, what can you say directly." ”

Wren was not afraid of offending people, and insisted again: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the stakes are very high, I can only tell you." ”

He knew that Ymir was not really careless when he said this.

And this is the best choice from the perspective of the superior.

Any distrust shown in this situation can easily make loyal subordinates think, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't trust me?" "There are doubtful people in the companions" and so on...

The team will not be easy to bring.

This kind of "black face" can only be played by an outsider.

After all, the stakes are high this time.

Although Wren knew that he could be brought by Ymir, it must be her trusted subordinates.

But no matter who he is, he believes in Ymir, but he can't trust others.

Last time in Storm Lake, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was calculated, and she fled to the wasteland with serious injuries. A dignified princess made such a big assassination mistake, and it is no wonder that there is no problem with the people around her.

Now, not to say that he is negotiating on behalf of the Coleman people, it is a matter that cannot be made public.

And Metternich's letter, which is also a very sensitive existence.

Wren now knows that the play-loving "Clemens J. F. Metternich "is a person in the line of the queen and the eldest prince, and the eldest princess is a political enemy and a mortal enemy.

Whatever the content of the letter and what the purpose is, if it is known to a third party, it may cause trouble for several parties.

......

Hearing Wren's insistence, Ymir glanced at him, didn't say much, got up and walked towards a tent behind him, and said lightly: "Come in and say." ”

Rennes's "black face" invisibly resolved a possible crisis of trust.

After all, he is an outsider, and he is still a low-level transcendent, and no one cares about it.

Several high-level transcendents on the side remained silent.

They didn't pay attention to Wren who followed him into the tent, but instead set their eyes on Bazel not far away, faintly on guard.
