Chapter 5
Genesis Royal College, the most prestigious college in the Kingdom of Liberl. The annual school festival has ushered in the opportunity for this academy full of aristocratic atmosphere to receive the general public, and as a result, the Janes Royal Academy is now crowded, but the people who can come from the area of Van Luan have come. It's like a big banquet.
"Na~ Ike, did you think Levi would really come?" Ling, who was pulling Ike's hair, looked around, the auditorium was already full, after all, it was a nationally famous academy, and even he saw a few familiar faces.
"Who knows, with that guy, even if he came over, he would probably be hiding in some corner to look around." Ike said absentmindedly, "But then again, Joshua actually played the princess or something... β
"It's beautiful, isn't it~ Is Ike tempted?" Ling mastered everywhere and replied happily, after all, she is still a little girl, and she has no resistance to this kind of lively activity.
"It can only make people think that he is a pervert, no wonder the bell of illusion forced him to wear women's clothes at that time, it seems that the guy was indeed prescient." Even Ike has to admit that Joshua does have a talent for a pseudo-mother after women's clothing...
"Of course, Sister Luciola is a soothsayer~"
"I don't believe her." Ike scoffed, "What's the point of a person who knows the future before he acts?" Then he frowned, "But I'm really curious why that big guy got together with Joshua."
"Princess, she's a student of this academy."
"But they don't seem to notice it ... Forget it, let's go up and find out the information in a moment. β
"Ling is going to go with me too~"
"Stupid~ Won't you be exposed if you go?" Ike put down Ling on his shoulder, "And the white-faced guy has also started to act, although the action is really disgusting." β
"Are you going to stop it?"
"Anyway, the school festival is still very long." Ike glanced at the upcoming Guerrilla Association mission, "Are you sure about Ling, what they're doing here?" β
"The actions of the hunters can't escape Ling's eyes." Ling looked confident, "Those hunters controlled the lighthouse, and then controlled those ruffian brothers, but it seems that Levi deliberately let the hunting regiment give it to the mayor, otherwise the hunting regiment would not be so arrogant, and it would have controlled such an obvious building, it seems that the mayor gave them the aftermath~"
"Interesting, let's go along and have a look. After so many years, these boys have not grown. β
γγγγγγ
In the silence of the street, four figures ran quickly. Because the teacher of the orphanage was injured by the hunters again, Estelle and his party, who decided to go to investigate, followed the clues of the children in the orphanage, and went to the lighthouse to search for the prisoners of the two incidents.
"Hey, isn't that the direction of the menorah? There's only one old man there, is the prisoner you're talking about? The trail to the lighthouse, AgatΓ© frowned.
"Someone!" Joshua suddenly reminded him, and in the moonlight, a figure emerged from the shade of a tree to stand in front of everyone.
"You're so slow!"
"Who is it?" AgatΓ© lifted his epist, looking warily at the man who stood in his way.
"Ike?! Why are you here? Estelle asked, surprised.
"Why? At that time, I received a notice from the branch, and those guys from the Raven Gang suddenly disappeared, although it was a boast, but I was still confident in my surveillance ability, and I followed here out of curiosity. Ike replied, pointing to the lighthouse behind him.
"Is that really the case?!"
"Branch? Are you also a guerrilla? AgatΓ© was a little surprised. Although it is true that there is another guerrilla in Luan... β
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and deal with them." Stepmore shook her fists: "I won't lose this time." β
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Ike shook his head and said as he led the way, "There seems to be something strange about those Raven Gang, I can't feel their will, and the strength feels a lot stronger than before, as if they have been manipulated. Judging by the breath, it seems that there are still people upstairs taking hostages. The Ravens are just gatekeepers."
"Manipulation?" AgatΓ© wondered.
"Controlling a person's brain through drugs, allowing him to act at the command of others, and improving the strength of the drug user itself in a short period of time, but there will be many sequelae." Joshua explained. βγγγ Ike, since you're waiting for us here, do you already have an idea? β
"Very sharp," a hint of praise flowed in Ike's eyes, "I need you to attract the attention of the enemy head-on, I am the fastest with you, and we will take the hostages back when they are unprepared." β
"Can you do it alone?" AgatΓ© was skeptical. Before he could say a second sentence, a sword shadow suddenly slashed, and in an instant, as soon as AgatΓ© raised his hand, the sword shadow stopped above the sword hand.
"You're okay with that, are you?"
βγγγ Hmph, I see. β
The assigned task galloped to the bottom of the tower, watched as Ike took out two flying claws from the package behind him, slammed the hook to the top of the tower, handed another rope to Joshua, and whispered to the crowd, "Then let's start as planned." β
"Mr. Ike, may I ask a question?" The two of them, who had left the crowd, climbed to the top at a brisk pace, Joshua asked.
"What?"
"What exactly did you do before?" Joshua stared at Ike, "With your guerrilla level, it's obviously not up to your skills, and you still have these things with you... β
"It's not a good thing to get to the bottom of a person." Ike shook his head, "You don't need to know what I used to do, just know that I'm a guerrilla now." β
βγγγ I understand. Joshua was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Found it." Ike suddenly lowered his voice and gestured to Joshua to the figure downstairs.
"Mercenaries?!" Joshua was taken aback. Following Ike's direction, two mercenaries in combat uniforms appeared in front of him, fully armed.
"And that's not all." Ike pointed to another well-dressed guy, "If that guy remembers correctly, he must be the mayor's secretary." β
Kilbart γγγ I didn't expect it to be him... β
"It's coming!"
There was a loud bang on the stairs, and Estelle and the others rushed up the stairs.
"How confident are you in yourself and their skills?"
βγγγ What do you mean? β
"Still don't understand? If they block the hallway, this is the only passage. As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the engine of an airship was faintly heard outside the door behind him.
βγγγ I see, Ike, you're going to stay here. Joshua nodded, took a deep breath, squatted down, his eyes suddenly became hazy, and the breath of the whole person suddenly disappeared in front of Ike's eyes.
"Body memory ... Is it? Ike looked at Joshua, who was still in front of him, but his breath was gone. Years of life don't seem to have made him forget the instinctive way of fighting.
The quarrel grew louder and louder, and finally, at the moment when the two sides were about to fight, Joshua turned into a dark shadow and cut the distance between the mercenary and the old man guarding the lighthouse.
"Hmm! When! β
"Joshua!"
The mercenaries obviously didn't expect the enemy to appear behind them, and they were caught off guard and their own strength was out, and almost at the beginning, Joshua knocked down a mercenary close to the old man.
"Damn! Seeing his companion fall to the ground, the remaining mercenaries grabbed the secretary and pointed a gun at Kilbat. "Don't come here! Or I'll kill him!" β
"Huh!! You guy! I actually want to kill my employer! Kilbart panicked instantly, pointed at Estelle and shouted, "You, you, don't come!" β
"Less nonsense, our employer is the mayor, but even if it is the mayor, if it weren't for the same interests, we wouldn't bother to help him, and now that the action has been revealed, hehe, then don't blame us." After saying that, he shot Kilbat in the thigh with a guide gun, and with a scream, blood flowed all over the ground.
βοΌ Is he serious?! Estelle tightened her grip on her stick and was about to rush forward.
"Don't come here, or I'll shoot myself in the head next time!" Hehe, if there are no witnesses, what do you think will happen if I walk the news that the guerrillas killed the mayor's secretary. The mercenary smirked.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
"It's really worthy of being a mercenary, and you can do everything like this." Joshua frowned.
"The law of the jungle is the iron law of mercenaries." The mercenary retreated, and while facing Kilbat, the fainted mercenary didn't even look at it, and when he saw everyone retreat to the stairs, the mercenary pushed Kilbat violently towards everyone, and he was about to run to the gate to the top of the building with a leap of his own.
"Where are you going?"
Ike's voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a strong wind, and the mercenary only felt that his eyes were flowering, and he was pushed against the wall by the huge impact, and fell to the ground.
"Ike!"
"I have a hand, he can't die." Ike pointed to the door behind him, "It's just that the airship that came to pick them up seems to have sensed that something is wrong and has slipped away." β
"These scoundrels." Estelle clenched her stick and walked up to Kilbarth, "You instructed them to burn down the orphanage and wound the teacher!" β
"Huh!! No, it's my business, it's the mayor, yes! It was the mayor who instructed me! I'm just an errand runner! β
"Anyway, let's take them away first." AgatΓ© looked at the three people who fell to the ground, "And the group of stupid people downstairs too, you guys should bandage him first, otherwise he may bleed too much." β
"Leave it to me." The blue-haired woman who followed Estelle walked towards Kilbart and crouched down as if to heal him.
"Are you ready next?" Ike untied the old man's ropes, "He's fine, just fainted." β
"Prepare what?"
"Of course, it's against the mastermind." Ike sighed, "The mayor isn't a guy who can stumble over a few words. But... If you have these guys, you should be fine. Ike smiled, like a devil.
"I heard that guy is quite rich?"
