Chapter 371: Night Battle
Under the cover of night, five masked men in nightwear quietly infiltrated the town where Kerst was located. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After hiding in the shadows and figuring out the patrol's route and time interval, the men sneaked into a private house under the watchful eyes of the patrol.
After quietly inspecting the entire room to make sure that it was indeed an empty room, these people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's safe for now."
After untying the mask, Werther picked up the kettle and drank the water, and said, "Let's all rest for a while, we will have to be busy later." ”
Without waiting for others to make a move, the masked man who fell at the end ripped off the masked towel and said angrily: "Suffocate meow!" It's so uncomfortable to wear this thing......"
"Be quiet!"
After turning her hand into a sharp blade and scolding Katie in a low voice, Eve took the masked scarf. Although Eve also finds it uncomfortable to wear a veil, her endurance is obviously much higher than that of Katie, who has always been loose.
While Eve untied her veil, Shiva, who was standing beside her, stepped straight to the side and began to adjust her longbow. Unlike the others in their night suits, Khiva did not change into a short bow or a crossbow for this operation, but carried the longbow on his back as always.
Fortunately, Shiva's hiding skills were also very good, so her actions were not affected by the conspicuous longbow.
After glancing at Katie and the others, Witt turned his head to look at the companion who was obviously following him, but had no sense of existence: "Garth, do you want to drink some water?" ”
After a quiet glance at Werther, Garth nodded slightly.
After handing the kettle to Garth, he looked at Witt again at Katie and the others, but he couldn't help frowning.
Due to the limitation of numbers, in this battle of succession, except for the strongest Gas, Witt was unable to bring the members of the scout team that belonged directly to him. So when it was time to conduct reconnaissance in the past two days, Witt either brought with him several sharpshooters from the former Black Knight Adventure Group who had temporarily changed to scouts, or Katie and others.
The companions of the former Black Knight Adventure Group were all comrades-in-arms who knew the bottom line, so it didn't take much effort for Witt to command them. In contrast, Katie and others gave Witt a headache.
Katie, who has always jumped out, is the one that gives Witt the most headaches. Since Werther's strength is not stronger than Katie, although Katie temporarily followed Werther at Dio's request, it was Werther who asked her to go east, she preferred to go west, let her catch dogs, and she wanted to catch chickens.
Typical listening tones do not listen to propaganda.
Of course, this has improved a lot since Eve also temporarily joined Werther's command.
If Katie made any trouble, Eve would always take action to suppress her in time, so after Eve's arrival, Witt was much more relaxed.
However, every time he delivered an order to Eve, Werther always felt a little hairy in his heart for some reason. It felt like a crow giving orders to the phoenix, and the phoenix really obeyed the order.
It always feels like there's something weird about it.
Because of this, despite Eve being the most well-behaved of the three, Werther rarely interacts with her.
As for Shiva, this temporary companion was even more incomprehensible to Werther.
If Katie is too extroverted, then Shiva is too introverted in Werther's opinion. Since Shiva temporarily joined Werther's wing, she had only spoken three words to Werther. And these three sentences are the answers that Werther received when he gave her orders, and their content is also unusually simple.
It's so simple that these three sentences actually only have three words, which are "um", "ah", and "good".
This made Witt embarrassed: how could he communicate with Shiva like this......
If it were normal, Werther would have let Katie and the others go. After all, although there are some minor problems in their personalities, the strength of Katie and the others who are one or two cuts stronger than Werther is enough to make up for those minor problems.
It's always better to have a powerful and somewhat eccentric teammate than a teammate who will only lag behind.
However, the task was so important that Witt had to be as cautious as possible. In this case, whether Katie and the others can seriously act according to the prior arrangement is enough to affect whether the operation can be successfully completed.
Just when Werther was frowning and thinking about how to build a good relationship with Katie and the others, Katie, who couldn't bear it anymore, complained again.
"Don't meow! Meow really really doesn't want to wear this thing anymore! ”
Katie waved her masked towel at Eve with a disgusted face: "After wearing this, my nose is really uncomfortable......"
"No way!"
Eve shook her head resolutely, and replied categorically: "This night suit has been specially enchanted, which can effectively hide the sound and body odor we emit when we move, so as not to be detected by creatures such as hounds. However, this effect only works when the entire outfit is worn! So no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to put this veil on! ”
"Don't! Don't meow! ”
Katie, who really didn't want to wear a veil, rolled directly on the ground: "Anyway! This equipment is only used to cover our whereabouts! Not a meow? In this way, if we can kill all the guards who found us, and then hide their corpses, wouldn't we be able to achieve the same effect of not being discovered by the enemy? ”
Eve still tightened her pretty face, but her brows gradually curled.
Looking at Katie, who was playing tricks on the ground, she poked her right hand, which had turned into a sharp blade, into Katie's waist with a cold face.
"Meow!"
Katie suddenly let out a miserable howl, and then jumped up directly from the ground, and fell down in front of Eve with teary eyes: "I was wrong! I already know it's wrong! Don't poke me again, it hurts meow! ”
At this moment, Katie finally remembered the fear of being dominated by Eve, and the despair of being imprisoned in a small dark room.
Just when everyone looked at Katie, who was trembling, and looked helpless, the voice of the patrol came from outside the house: "What was that voice just now?" It seems to have come from here! ”
"Tom, you're so nervous, it should just be some little animal, like a mouse or something."
"Jerry! I think it's better to be careful, in case someone actually has already infiltrated the town! ”
"Okay, okay, you're right, let's go and have a look."
Listening to the words coming from outside the house, the people in the room suddenly looked at each other.
Khiva and Gas, who had been silent, had already begun to prepare for battle. And looking at Katie, who had just screamed, Werther's face was full of depression and helplessness.
However, under Eve's gaze, Katie, who raised her head, resolutely opened her mouth again.
"Meow ......"
The two members of the patrol, who were about to kick the door open, immediately looked at each other when they heard the meow.
"Jerry, this looks like a cat's meow, right?"
"That's right, Tom! That's what a cat sounds like! There's definitely a wildcat inside! ”
“…… That's not quite right, right? How can there be feral cats here? ”
"Please, Tom, this was a bustling town not so long ago, and there were a feral cat or two or something, what's so strange?"
"No, Jerry! My concern is that the cat's meow is likely to be deliberately pretended to be the same! ”
"Don't be stupid, Tom, it's a real cat meow! You know, I have two cats at home, so I can hear the call and think it's a real cat! If you don't believe me, let's open the door and go in together, shall we? ”
“…… Forget it, according to the regulations above, the patrol time is very tight. If we go back late, we will have to be interrogated by the captain several times. ”
"Then let's go, if we go faster, we can still get back there in the allotted time."
"Well, let's go."
Listening to the footsteps outside the house gradually fade away, the people in the house breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Katie with a smug face, Eve said angrily: "What are you proud of?" You didn't bring these people in! As a punishment, you won't want to eat a single fish this week! ”
"Isn't it......"
Katie's mouth froze, and then she hugged Eve's leg with teary eyes and begged, "Don't! Meow already knows it's wrong! If you don't have any fish for a week! Meow will die! Really, really going to die...... Is it okay to change it to a day? ”
Under Katie's pleading, Eve, who was already about to let go, said with a straight face after hearing Katie's last words: "You talk nonsense again!" It was changed to two weeks without fish! ”
"Don't meow! Woo......"
Katie subconsciously wailed, and after reacting, she quickly covered her mouth, and then looked at Eve with teary eyes.
This made Eve roll her eyes helplessly.
“…… Let's change rooms first, it's probably not safe anymore. ”
Werther, who also looked helpless, shook his head, and then said softly.
Regardless of whether the two members of the patrol who had just left really planned to leave like this, or whether they planned to go back to headquarters first and then bring the whole patrol over, the cautious Witt decided to change places and rest first.
Neither Katie nor others raised any objections to Werther's decision. But just as everyone had put on their veils and had cleared all traces of themselves, and were about to leave the hut, Shiva reached out to stop them.
Without opening his mouth to explain, Shiva directly summoned the Falcon Spirit, and then made the translucent Falcon Spirit fly out of the window.
After quietly flying out, the Falcon Spirit quickly flew around the hut before flying straight into the air.
After closing his eyes and communicating with the Falcon Spirit for a while, Shiva moved out of the way after making sure that the two members of the patrol had really left and were not lying in ambush outside the house.
After taking a deep look at Shiva, Werther led everyone out of the house, and after running a full two streets, he found an empty room and broke in.
The entire room was still carefully inspected, and after making sure it was safe, everyone met in the living room.
After finding a chair and sitting down, and thinking for a while, Witt said to Eve and Katie, "According to the plan, the work of determining the location of Young Master Koster will be handed over to the two of you. ”
Eve and Katie nodded, and quietly left the room.
With Eve's abilities and Katie's superior skills, they should be able to successfully find the exact location of Master Kerst without attracting the attention of the guards.
After all, the town isn't that big.
Witt, who watched them leave, turned to Garth and Shiva and said, "...... Our mission is to find out how the town is being defended. ”
In addition to determining the location of Kerth, it is also the task of Werther, the leader of the scouts, to investigate the location of the mission, so as to draw a more detailed deployment map for the troops behind. And this is what Werther does best.
Seeing that Garth and Shiva, who didn't like to speak, nodded without saying a word, Witte suddenly felt helpless.
Compared to Katie, Witt felt that Shiva, who seemed to be more cautious, was still trustworthy, but the fact that neither she nor Garth liked to talk really made Witt quite difficult.
Did you hear clearly......
Although he knew that both of them should have heard what he was saying clearly, Witt still couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, and led the two of them out of the hut.
With the help of Shiva's Falcon Spirit, Werther quickly figured out the entire town's defenses and asked the Falcon Spirit to help send the map to Karen. After watching the Falcon Spirit leave, Witt returned to the hut with Shiva and them.
When Katie and Eve find out where Master Vester is, they will also return to this room to meet up with Witt and the others, and then silently wait for the time to come.
Gently flapping his wings and clutching a roll of linen, the Falcon Spirit soon found Karian and the others hiding in a grove outside the town under Shiva's instructions.
After taking the piece of linen from the Falcon's hand, Aisha touched the Falcon's head before handing the linen to Kalian.
After reviewing the defense map drawn by Werther twice with Waldman and the others, Karen nodded at Waldeman and the others, and then planned to give the order to attack.
At this moment, Aisha dissuaded: "Senior Sister Kalian! You're not going to make a move this time, are you? ”
Karene glanced at Aisha, then turned to look at Waldman and the others, and saw that their faces were all expressions of approval.
At this moment, Karen immediately understood that this was not Aisha's opinion alone.
After shaking her head very firmly, Karen looked at Wadman and the others with a serious face, and said softly: "I know, you want me to stay in the rear because Akatsuki is damaged and you can't protect my relationship for the time being. But! Even without Akatsuki's help, I'm still a qualified battle mage! So ......"
After clenching the wand in her hand firmly, Karene said categorically, "Let me fight side by side with you again!" ”
Looking at Kalian's expression, Waldman and the others, who understood that she would not change her mind, sighed, and then solemnly saluted Kalian.
PS: It's been a bit busy these two days, but it won't be like this from tomorrow onwards.
