Chapter 48: Clues
"Just got a communication from there...... The attackers appeared to have used light guided mortars. "There have been casualties, one member of the Rose has died, and one has been seriously injured, and it has been transported to the Great Sanctuary at the moment, and there should be a way to rescue it." ”
"Really...... Well, what about the reasons for choosing shelling? Lévy thought to himself - the hunters who carry heavy weapons with them must not be ordinary people, at least they cannot be matched by the "Jesta Chasers" and the like that he pretended to be when he used Lorens as a cover before. However, what puzzled him the most was the other party's mode of action - what was the other party's purpose at the expense of creating such a huge chaos?
"It is said that they kept the captured captives in the house that was blown up...... Although this inference is still somewhat arbitrary, the other side seems to be trying to pull out the thorn - it seems that the blockade of intelligence is very important. ”
"Understood...... The unit in front of us, I'm afraid, is also for the same purpose, to bring back—no, it should be to confirm the situation of those former comrades. If they have already been killed, then they will choose to retreat, otherwise, they should choose to kill them directly rather than rescue them that are inefficient or have a low success rate. ”
"How likely do you think they will attack the Viscount's Palace?" Warners asked again. The strength of the guards in the Viscount's Mansion is limited, and Fei has to protect Elfin closely, and among the people on the scene, there is actually only Levi who can have the strength to fight.
"These people are not carrying heavy weapons—probably because they are afraid of the status of the Viscount's Mansion in the Empire. It seems that they don't want to make a big deal out of it, but if it comes to the point of last resort, they may choose to force their way and take the people, and Heliga will definitely ask us to leave at least one alive to ensure the rest of the information - what do you think? ”
“…… In any case, the safety of Her Royal Highness is a top priority. After thinking for a moment, Werner sighed softly, "Actually, aside from what my son doesn't know what he is planning behind his back, I am quite confused about this matter itself, and information is also very important to me personally. However, if they really have the intention of attacking the Viscount's Palace, as you just said, let them go. ”
"I see." Lévy tapped the head—he knew Werners would judge it that way.
After all, if Lévy was alone, none of them would be sure of victory. He himself is already in the palace, and the angle and area that he can intervene in the battlefield are limited, and once he makes a move, he will be discovered by the opponent who has been on high alert for a long time no matter what, and there is nowhere to hide. Although Levi is confident that he can solve all these people with a little time and a little price, but as Wernas said, the Alphine Princesses must not take any risks at this moment.

"Looks like they're all retreating?" Following Garcia's direction to a high ground southwest of the Vault, Heliga looked at the mess on the ground and shook her head with a wry smile. The messy footprints on the ground were obviously left by these hunters when they retreated, and although this hunting regiment judged that it should be a well-trained and large-scale high-level hunting regiment based on all known information, it still showed such a panicked feeling, and it could be seen that their time was indeed very tight.
As for the reason for being so nervous - probably because I was surprised by how fast I was moving when I saw how well I was doing in the fire? Heiliga guessed.
"Do not erase the traces...... Isn't that just showing me the way? "And it's better that way—it can take them all out without frightening them." ”
After following the messy footprints for a few hundred moments, Helliga suddenly found that the footprints were gone—no doubt that the hunters had finally realized that the footprints they had left behind might attract their pursuers, and erased their footprints and tracks according to the standard method of battlefield sweeping. Only the moon hung high above the dark night sky, and although on the plains, the moonlight alone could see everything, but Helriga had unwittingly entered the jungles and hills on the outskirts of the city.
"It's ......" keenly sensing that a certain piece of ground was loosening beneath his feet, Heliga swept the loose dirt away with a crisp motion, revealing a ticking light.
"Landmines?" Heliga laughed - in the process of escaping, the mines planted in order to organize the pursuers?
If it is an ordinary person, in this case, I am afraid that it should be difficult to retreat. There were no footprints, it was a dark night, and there was no way to pursue a mine that might blow under your feet every now and then.
It's just that this person is none other than him—he's Helriga, one of the most insurable people in the world.
Gently freezing the mine directly with magic ice, and then delicately dismantling the guide circuit used to detonate it inside, and after throwing it away, Helliga took out the "cat's eye" potion he was carrying, and drank it violently—in an instant, the originally dark forest was dyed white, and the whole world was almost gray and white. In this case, even the slightest shade of color can be easily captured by Helica.
“Feim-Zii-Gron。” Dragon's Roar "Phantom Ethereal" - Blessed with the blessing of the wonderful runes, Haliga barely makes anything feel "touched" at this time - and there will be no problem stepping on the planted mines so openly.
Even though he would have to come here later to re-mine and dismantle all the mines, Heliga thought. This group of chasseurs is really lacking in morality, not to mention attacking their own territory, they still plant such things within their own territory.
"Sure enough...... Is it just hiding there? After walking in the previous direction for a while, with Heliga's movements, the life detection spells released from time to time in all directions finally gave Heliga a fierce feedback in a small canyon.
Heavily armed hunters—about eighty left? Heiliga thought.
If the goal is to kill them, will it be possible for supreme masters like the "Sword of Light" and "Golden Rakshasas" to annihilate this force without taking damage? I'm afraid it's very difficult - even if you open the way with mystery as soon as you come up, but in the face of the opponent's dense rain of bullets, you will inevitably suffer some unavoidable injuries.
But Heiliga is different.
In his "dragon form", he is not afraid of any guns and mortal swords.
Whoever the attackers are – they must pay.
