Volume III High Commissions Chapter 20 Arrest Operations

Upon returning from Nightmare City, Eugari and Miria locked themselves in their rooms to study their next steps.

"Sure enough, a few of us still disguised ourselves as children and went to the grave forest to 'fish' in person." Miria said earnestly to the map.

"We don't call it makeup at all, we're just kids." Yugari complained.

"Don't worry about the details." Miria continued, "According to Hehith's intelligence, the other party should be two main forces plus a group of miscellaneous soldiers. ”

"And what are you going to do about it?"

"If, as Heatis says, one of them is a fool, then let Brala deal with him."

At this time, Blala, who was next to her, puffed out her mouth and had a dissatisfied expression.

"Don't worry, I'll support you." Miria feigned comfort.

"As for the hunter who has an unknown pet...... Miria thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better to let Li Yaqi go." After all, if they are all hunters, they still know better. ”

"No problem, just leave it to me." Li Yaqi shouted excitedly.

"I've already told you about the hunter. Have you been listening? Eugarie asked with an uneasy expression, "You need to be careful with her invisible pet." I don't know what kind of monster it is. ”

"Oops, oops!" Li Yaqi said with an indifferent expression, "Don't worry! How could I, a great hunter, lose to that kind of trash fish! You're worrying too much. ”

"Two hunters with unseen pets face off. What's the difference with an archer. (It is implied that Li Yaqi never fights with pets, so she is also like a hunter with invisible pets). Konya said sarcastically.

"Blind, nonsense!" Li Yaqi blushed and said, "This time, I must show you how powerful the super invincible gorilla I trained is!" ”

"Alright, stop arguing. Just pay more attention. Yugari advised, "In that case, the guards will be dealt with by Conya, right?" ”

"Well, that's pretty much it. If there's not a lot of pressure on Brala's side, I'll also share some of the miscellaneous soldiers. Still have questions? Miria said.

"That'...... What about me? At this time, Zhenzhen, who was sitting on the side, looked at Millie and asked.

"Huh?" Eugari exclaimed in surprise, "Are you going too?" No way? It's not like going out to play, it's dangerous. ”

"No! Nope! People are going with Sister Miria too! You didn't bring anyone with you last time you went out! As he spoke, he fell to the ground and began to cry.

"It wasn't ...... last time," Miria wanted to explain.

"Don't listen! I'm going to go, take me there! "The more I cried, the more I made a fuss.

"What should I do?"

"I don't know." Yujali said dejectedly, "In that case, you must take her there." If it's so noisy...... But the last time she was attacked, maybe she saw the appearance of a prisoner. If you take her there, maybe you can check it out. Isn't it a little bit useful...... It seems that I can only make excuses for myself. ”

"That's all there is to it." Miria replied helplessly, "In that case, the stupid big man will be completely handed over to Brala." Also, I may not be able to take care of the miscellaneous soldiers on Conya's side, I have to take care of it in the car. "'This is obviously weakening your own combat power.'" Miria couldn't help but complain in her heart.

"I don't care." Konya replied nonchalantly.

"Then it's decided." "Let's go back to our rooms and pack our things, and we'll leave after lunch." ”

During lunch, Miria gave a brief introduction to the Tomb Forest. "I forgot to say it in the room just now. The forest was damp, and with the exception of the avenues, the land was softer and muddy than the usual forest, making it very difficult to walk. Pay more attention when you fight. The monsters there are mainly low-level necromancers and dryads, although they are not very powerful, but they are more troublesome, especially the dryads, if they are entangled in the branches, it will at least hinder their movements. ”

"Do you need to bring some potions or something?" Yugari asked suddenly.

"Well...... Miria thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the individual, it's not necessary. There's nothing magical there that affects people. ”

After eating, the children galloped in the direction of the burial forest in a carriage. As she passed the Sunset East Bridge again, Yugari couldn't help but think back to the journey she had made to Night City with members of the Black Knight's Followers. "I don't know what happened to them now. Remember that their guild is in the guild district. If you have a chance, you can pay a visit.'" Yujali thought silently.

After crossing the Sunset East Bridge and walking northwest for a short time, you will arrive near the Burial Forest. According to the original plan, they slowed down their progress and began to carry out the "fishing operation".

Eugari and Cornia sat in the front of the driver's seat, leisurely driving the carriage along the path of the Grave Forest. Although they always chose remote paths, bypassed low-level monsters, avoided fighting, and did not reveal their strength, until nightfall, everything was very normal, and nothing suspicious was found. In desperation, they had to spend the night in the carriage first, leaving Cornia and Brala to be in charge of keeping watch outside. For the next two days, in order not to arouse suspicion, they pretended to collect medicine in the forest during the day, and left only one person to guard at night, but they still did not encounter the attackers.

"What's going on? No one came. Li Yaqi complained irritably in the carriage.

"yes, what's wrong?" Yugari pondered.

"We haven't revealed our strength and intentions either." Miria said puzzled.

"No, except for occasionally going out to collect medicine, I rarely leave the carriage."

"Isn't it because you're all here that people don't know what's hidden in the car?" At this time, the real milk snuggled in Miria's arms said in a milky voice.

These words immediately woke up Yugari, "That's right! That's it! Sister Si's sister also mentioned before that the other party would not attack easily until the identity of the target owner was fully confirmed. How did I forget. What a big idiot! ”

"You're so smart to think of that." Miria complimented.

"I guessed." Really innocent laughed.

"That's it, everyone will go out tomorrow when we collect medicine, no, everyone will be outside together during the day tomorrow. I think I'll be able to take the bait this time! Yugari said firmly.

The next morning, Cornia drove the carriage deeper into the forest, and as soon as the carriage came to a stop, Yugari beckoned everyone out. Some of them gather herbs nearby, some gather dead branches to prepare a campfire, and some simply lean against a tree and do nothing. Towards noon, everyone gathered together to prepare a picnic. Time passed little by little, and when dusk was about to fall, everyone was sorting out the herbs, and Li Yaqi said in a voice with irrepressible excitement, "Here we go." About thirty people. ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately became alert. Yugari glanced at Miria, who walked into the carriage with her arms in her arms. Afterwards, Yugari gradually retreated behind everyone, in order to have a better vision to make timely support. Brala took a few steps forward and put her position at the front, in order to be able to block the opposite charge at the first time. Li Yaqi and Konya looked at ease, staying motionless in place, waiting for the upcoming battle.

As the noisy footsteps approached, a huge fireball headed straight for the carriage. Yugari immediately opened the barrier of light to block the fireball's attack. Almost at the same time, countless arrows rained down from all sides of the forest. Eugari immediately cast the Holy Barrier, keeping all arrows and magical attacks at bay.

At this time, more than thirty soldiers wearing armor and holding long swords had already appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Come up, cute little fish." With an evil expression on her face, Konya brandished her silver-white staff, casting a faint black energy. Immediately, a pile of white bones crawled out of the soil beside her, which looked like the bones of a long-dead jackal. Driven by the dark energy that Konya had imparted, the pile of bones fearlessly pounced on the rushing soldiers. Immediately after, more and more "white bone beasts" crawled out of the ground in the surrounding soil.

Faced with the sudden attack of the White Bone Legion, the soldiers who rushed up immediately slowed down in horror. However, at this moment, there was a person with a fearless face, a tall and thin body, and a heavily armored body, who jumped high from the crowd and stood out. This person is Jia Yong, who is holding a sledgehammer high at the moment, roaring towards Konya overwhelmingly. Suddenly, in front of Jia Yong's side, Blala jumped up and picked up her tomahawk to block Jia Yong's path. The two immediately fought each other, and a fierce battle ensued.

"Are you coming?" Li Yaqi stared excitedly at the rustling grass in the distance. Although there were no human figures in sight, the violently shaking grass was rushing towards them from far and near. "Let me see what kind of monster you are. Go knock it out, super invincible big black black! As he spoke, a huge chimpanzee was immediately summoned to Li Yaqi's face, and it rushed towards the grass with lightning speed. With a crashing sound, a snow-white griffin was knocked into the thick trunk of a nearby tree and fell to the ground.

"Ahh It's a rare breed of griffin! I want it so much! "'Let's see if we can catch it.'" Li Yaqi said with a wistful expression. At this moment, a stream of arrows with a flickering cold light rained down on her in the distant woods. Li Yaqi jumped into the air while striking arrows with her longbow, "Don't hide and seek, come out quickly." "Flame Infernal Arrow". With Li Yaqi's shout, a blazing rocket flew towards the depths of the forest with a long flame tail, and the forest in the distance was instantly submerged in a sea of fire. A figure of the same figure as Jia Yong, dressed in a silver and blue striped light armor, appeared in Li Yaqi's field of vision, and this person was Jia Yong's second brother Jia Zhi. As soon as he jumped out of the sea of fire, Li Yaqi's gorilla rushed forward and crashed into him with a big jump. Jia Zhi was in the air and couldn't dodge, so he had to pick up his halberd to block. After stumbling to the ground, he immediately disappeared into the leafy woods, so that Li Yaqi could not find him.

"It's a nuisance." Li Yaqi pouted and said, and then casually hitched on another rocket.

"Hey! Don't burn the forest down! Yugari shouted behind her.

"Yes!" Li Yaqi had to give up the idea of continuing to set fire to the mountain.

Seeing Brala wielding her tomahawk and fighting Jia Yong, Miria was so anxious that she wanted to rush forward and fight with Brala. The tomahawk and sledgehammer collided with each other with a deafening sound, and both sides were bounced back with the force of the impact. After Blala stabilized her figure, she once again wheeled her tomahawk and ran towards Jia Yong. Jia Yong's whole body glowed with a faint white light, and he swung his sledgehammer and slammed it to the ground with all his strength. In an instant, a huge stone wave mixed with a sharp shock wave quickly rolled towards the forward Blala.

Blala was taken aback, it was too late to dodge, so she had to take advantage of the situation to raise her battle axe and unleash a huge amount of flame energy to neutralize Jia Yong's attack. Brala's flame blast collided violently with Jia Yong's stone wave attack, causing the air to instantly be filled with burning dust, forming a gray wall of fire between the two. However, when the ashes dispersed, only the figure of Blala was left on the charred battlefield, but there was no trace of Jia Yong.

"Where's it?" Brala thought to herself.

"Behind!" Miria's shouts rang out suddenly.

At this moment, Blala only felt that a gust of wind was coming behind her, and Jia Yong's swept sledgehammer wrapped around a little white energy had come to her eyes. Blala didn't have time to dodge, and she didn't even have time to turn around, so she had to lean sideways and put up her tomahawk to block Jia Yong's onslaught. With a loud bang, Jia Yong's sledgehammer shattered the shield of light in front of Brala, knocking her flying. After rolling on the ground for some distance, Blala immediately rolled over and jumped up, a stream of blood running down her cheek.

At this time, Miria had already dropped the real truth in the car and rushed towards Jia Yong with a long-handled scythe in her hand. Suddenly hearing a rush of footsteps behind him, Jia Yong sensed that someone was coming, and immediately turned around, picked up the sledgehammer, and released a huge shock wave. Miria hurriedly dodged, then sped up again to get in front of Jia Yong. Without saying a word, she casually cast a frost crystal and immediately launched a fierce attack on Jia Yong. Jia Yong relied on his strength to capture Miria's figure with a sledgehammer. When he noticed that the grass and trees around him were gradually freezing, and his sledgehammer was also attached to a little frost, he immediately realized something, and immediately jumped back and left Miria's frost battlefield.

However, the high-flying Blala suddenly appeared behind him, and the tomahawk and sledgehammer collided violently in the air again, and Jia Yong and Blala stumbled to the ground again, without waiting for Jia Yong to adjust his center of gravity, "Frost, Crystal, Frost Missile!" With Miria's shout, a shining frost missile sped towards Jia Yong. Jia Yong hurriedly twisted his body and stretched out a sledgehammer to block. The exploding missile immediately knocked Jia Yong out, leaving a thick layer of frost on him, on his weapon, and on the surrounding grass and soil. Without giving him the slightest respite, Miria and Blala rushed forward at a gallop, and the three of them immediately got into a fight.

On the other side, Jia Zhi relied on his stealth-like skills, always out of Li Yaqi's field of vision, constantly maneuvering with her. Although Li Yaqi was anxious, she was never able to accurately grasp Jia Zhi's location, so she had to launch a large-scale indiscriminate attack in the direction where he was hiding, although it also caused a lot of damage to Jia Zhi, but it was not serious.

"It would be nice to bring some anti-submarine potions when you came, it's so inconsiderate!" Li Yaqi secretly regretted in her heart.

As time passed, more than half of the soldiers who surrounded him had been beaten to pieces by Konya's skeleton beast, and what was even more terrifying was that the dead soldiers had gradually joined the ranks of the skeleton beast. A little farther away, the battle between Miria, Brala, and Jia Yong will be difficult to tell for a while.

Seeing this, Jia Zhi immediately lit a signal flare, and the bright yellow flames immediately flew up to the sky above the forest, blooming with dazzling light. After seeing the signal flare, although Jia Yong was unwilling, he had to shake his hammer and withdraw from the battlefield. The rest of the soldiers immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and fled for their lives.

"Don't let them run away, at least catch one mastermind!" Yugari shouted.

"Got it!" After hearing the shout, Li Yaqi immediately chased after her gorilla desperately, and the figure of the follower Jia Zhi disappeared into the dark forest.

"Help me take care of it!" Miria shouted to Eucaly, and then chased after Jia Yong without looking back.

"Wait! Don't go on your own! Eugari shouted at the vanishing backs of Miria and Brala.

"Let's catch up with the real thing!" Yugari beckoned to Konya to come over. But when she walked into the carriage, she found that Zhenzhen was not inside, and there were only some picnic props left in the empty carriage, and there was no half of a person.

"Huh?" Yugari shouted in surprise.

"Do you see it? She's not in the carriage! Yugari said anxiously to Conya.

"I don't know, I just watched my skeleton beast's battle, and I didn't notice it." Konya replied with a cold face.

"What can I do?" Yugari anxiously searched around, "Reallyβ€”β€”! It's trueβ€”β€”! ”

After a while, Yujali searched almost every inch of the surrounding land, but still did not see a real shadow, so she had to return to the carriage in despair.

"There's another one alive here." Konya dragged a wounded soldier to Yugari, "Would you like to ask him where they fled to, or just wait here?" ”

Yugari first stabilized her emotions, then thought for a moment and said, "Also, we can't just wait here. Miria and the others may have chased them to their base, which is very worrying. ”

Under the threat of Terror from Konya, the soldiers gave up the location of the base. Yugari first helped the soldier to treat the wound briefly, and then said to Conya: "I'll go to Miria and them, you take care of him here, if he really comes back, help me take care of it first, don't let her run away again." ”

"Be careful, I can't explain anything to Lord Shanna!"

"Got it, it's going to be fine, don't worry!" Yugari didn't care to say anything, and hurriedly ran towards the depths of the forest.
