Although he spent a day wandering around the borders of the Free Federation yesterday to investigate, in fact, except for the encounter with the Rococo team, Mu Yun did not gain any useful information. Therefore, today, Mu Yun changed his thinking, and he focused his investigation on the movements of the undead group on the outskirts of the Holy City.

After a morning of exploration, Mu Yun was a little keenly aware that the undead who were originally scattered and gathered in the villages infected by Bekaz's plague seemed to have begun to gather in the direction of the Holy City, thinking that this might be a signal that Bekaz was ready to start attacking the Holy City, Mu Yun used the return to the city props to return to the God of War Pass, and hurriedly wanted to report this information to the commander of the God of War Pass.

However, when he returned to the God of War Pass and came all the way to the commander's mansion to meet the commander, he found that the commander-in-chief frowned, obviously worried about something, and he didn't even notice that he walked in.

"Lord Commander?"

Mu Yun squealed softly, and in his experience as a reborn, he certainly knew that when these NPCs behaved so abnormally and humanly, it was generally a sign of a mission.

Sure enough, after hearing Mu Yun's voice, he looked up and saw that his commander's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke.

"You've just arrived, Mr. Muyun."

"What's going on? Lord Commander? ”

The Commander nodded.

"Yes, something strange is happening right now."

After the commander's description, Mu Yun quickly understood the background of this mission.

Last night, when Mu Yunlai reminded the commander of the possible collusion between the Federation and the undead, he once saw a young officer leave with a token, because there seemed to be some anomaly in a border village near the God of War Pass, so the commander would send a small team to investigate.

However, just this morning, the reconnaissance team that was supposed to return on time not only did not return, but no one even brought back a message, and the commander felt a little strange, so he sent an elite scout team as a liaison officer to find out the news. But now it's noon, and the scout team that went to that small border village is the same as the previous investigation team, and there is no news coming back at all.

"It's a pity that in order to collect information for the Imperial reinforcement team that is about to be formed and set off to aid the Holy City, most of our elite scout team in the pass are now sent out to monitor the movements of the undead group around the holy city, and the only elite scout team that can be used in the pass is the one sent out in the morning."

Speaking of this, the commander looked a little helpless.

"Although there are still many ordinary military scouts, since the investigation team and the elite scout team have not returned, it means that something unusual must have happened in that village, even if ordinary military scouts are sent to investigate again, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain anything...... If I remember correctly, Mr. Muyun should be an experienced adventurer in wild adventures, right? ”

Having said that, Mu Yun naturally knew what the task that the commander wanted to issue to him. To tell the truth, even ordinary military scouts are all level 40 NPCs, and on paper they should be stronger than Mu Yun, who is only about level 33, but Mu Yun will not complain about the logic of the commander, after all, under the interference of the game system, NPCs' perception of the player's strength is often not related to the task they have to explain, he nodded, and immediately agreed.

"I see, please leave it to me."

Soon, after replenishing the basic supplies in the God of War Pass, Mu Yun ran out of the city on a war horse temporarily hired from the military camp - as a reborn, he naturally knew where to catch the best mounts that could come in handy at this stage after level 30, but because of the events in the Holy City, Mu Yun didn't have time to do related tasks, so he had to temporarily borrow some ordinary mounts that were rented out by the system.

Along the way, Mu Yun was thinking about whether this sudden mission would have something to do with the main line of the Holy City Incident, and what kind of development it would have, but about ten minutes after he left the God of War Pass, suddenly on the plain in the distance, a small figure that was moving attracted his attention.

Hey? That person seems to be ......

-----

---

After finally stabilizing the lieutenant of the fortress with his words, Rococo was given two hours to negotiate with the Imperial side.

But despite this, Rococo's heart was not completely reassured. Although she has the Papal Codex to guarantee her status as an emissary of the Holy City, after all, she is an adventurer from the Federation, and considering the feud between the Federation and the Empire, Rococo does not feel that it will be much easier for her to negotiate with the Empire than for her to intervene to stop the lieutenant from messing around.

Because of this, when she was riding a horse towards the God of War Pass, Rococo had been thinking about the words that she should come up with after meeting the commander of the imperial army next, so she didn't notice it for the first time, and on the plain on her side, I don't know when a figure on a horse appeared approaching her.

"Xiao Ke, someone is coming! Seems to be an Imperial Power player!"

In the end, it was Arya's secret reminder that brought Rococo back to her senses, and then she saw the rider who was not far away from her throwing his hand on his horse, and suddenly the dark chess darts in the sky flew towards her like a goddess scattering flowers.

The Scattered Star Throwing Method, which uses a special technique to throw a large number of hidden weapons at the same time, is a rare long-range group attack method for the Bounty Assassin class.

The opponent's prediction of the landing point was quite accurate, and Rococo found that unless he jumped and left, it would be difficult to operate his mount and avoid the attack with men and horses if he continued to be on the horse.

But think about it, this should be the purpose of the other party? If the other party is bent on intercepting him, he will naturally not let himself have the possibility of riding away again, and he is using this way to force himself to jump.

Such a judgment was made in an instant, and Rococo did not jump but grabbed the reins, and at the same time, the thought in his heart moved.

Water Elemental Summons!

The next moment, directly in front of the man who was speeding close to her on horseback, a huge water elemental appeared there out of thin air, and then directly released the adhesion skill towards the oncoming horses.

The other party wanted to force Rococo to choose between losing blood and jumping off the horse, but she was more direct and decisive in abolishing the opponent's mount.

As the darts fell, Rococo felt a slight tingling pain, and the edges of her vision flushed red a few times, and the amount of blood on the top of her head decreased a little, but she never let go of the reins, and still sat on her horse. On the other side, the sudden appearance of the attacker's hooves was stuck by the water element, and the poor horse seemed to hit the tripwire directly in the high-speed movement, and the horse fell forward and smashed to the ground with a thud.

However, just when Rococo could get rid of this headless and brainless imperial player who attacked her, she saw that the other party showed amazing agility at the moment when the horse fell, directly turned over from the horse and jumped to the side, and then shot a dart accurately at the war horse under Rococo's seat.

Seeing the blue elemental brilliance wrapped around the dart, a trace of bad thought suddenly flashed in Rococo's mind, and sure enough, the next second the dart hit the position of the horse's buttocks, which should have been just an insignificant injury, but because the elemental streamer on the dart seeped into the body of the war horse from the wound like a virus, the Rococo war horse instantly appeared in a state of muscle spasm all over the body.

In desperation, Rococo could only jump off the horse, so as not to be carried down by the war horse that was in a state of convulsions and even detachment, and the scene just now finally allowed Rococo to confirm the identity of the person who came.

Mu Yun, the leader of the newly rising players of the Empire, the only reborn in the game, was the one who attacked them last night.

…… It's really strange, did this person follow them all the way, how could he appear here so coincidentally?

Rococo was depressed in his heart, but in fact, Mu Yun was also a little uneasy at the moment.

Last night's battle was too thrilling, Mu Yun only knew the name Rococo from the system records, but he didn't know what this powerful longbow girl looked like, and now, while confirming the identity of the other party through a series of wonderful operations before Rococo, Mu Yun finally saw the appearance of Rococo.

Such a beautiful and cute girl, Mu Yun even felt a little unreal for a moment when he saw that delicate little face, if it weren't for the other party's consciousness and operation that he had confirmed with his own eyes, he would definitely turn Rococo into a girl like a game vase in his first impression...... How do you say that? Obviously, you can rely on your face to eat, but people rely on their talents......

But then again, the more Mu Yun looked at Rococo, the more strange he felt...... How do you feel, as if you have seen this girl somewhere?

Well, of course I've seen it, after all, there is no one who has encountered the experience of NPCs actively touching porcelain in the game, but the time is too long, and at that time, Rococo, who looked simple and weak in a village girl's clothes, and now this Rococo, who has just shown his skills as a top player, has a high-end equipment and a pretty face and a frosty face, and the gap is too big in terms of aura and temperament.

And here, after Rococo was surprised to recognize Mu Yun at first, he also began to feel annoyed. She really didn't understand what was wrong with this reborn person's head, why did he run to take the initiative to find trouble for himself once or twice, and anyone who came up so headless and brainless was attacked twice and aimed at either his friend's life or his own life every time, would not have a good temper...... It's no wonder that the Bounty Assassin class was the least likable in previous player surveys.

And also, what kind of eyes did this guy have, looking at her so intently, as if he was still looking at something thoughtfully...... Although I don't know the inside story, Rococo said that it is rude for you to stare at a strange girl who meets for the first time like this!

“…… Feed! Why the hell are you attacking me? ”
