In the dim night sky, thousands of soldiers of the Lawrence Empire walked side by side on the path in the jungle, and at first glance, it looked like a clear blue river, gorgeous and deadly!

Caterina crouched silently in a treetop, a torrent of enemies cascading just a few meters below her feet, but none of them could detect her presence.

The dense foliage obscured her shadow, and her lithe body was like a leaf, blending in almost perfectly with the surrounding vegetation, without causing any incongruous changes to the tree, Caterina was a natural expert in concealment.

Born in the great Sypheus family, Caterina has been learning all kinds of martial arts and strategies from her grandfather, father, and elders in the family since she became sensible.

Inheriting the excellent genes of her ancestors, her talent is very high, and after many years of study and training, she has achieved the highest achievement among many skills, not her grandfather's heroism, nor her father's invincibility, but an unpredictable and superb assassin technique!

Yes, Caterina loved this technique, she dreamed of becoming an Assassin, she loved the feeling of coming and going without a trace, the thrill of killing an enemy with one blow and taking the head of the general, and even the teacher who taught her this technique--- her grandfather, the number one assassin under Duke Feist, was amazed by her talent in this technique!

Eikage, as a woman, is known as the number one assassin in the Vertes Empire, who has performed many crucial and dangerous missions, and even in her most glorious years, she even infiltrated the palace of an enemy country alone, and took the head of the local emperor in her sleep!

In that battle, Eiying became famous overnight, and her fame, like a dark shadow wrapped in a sharp blade, swept through half of the New Yucca Continent overnight, and even, in the Verte Empire, and even in the neighboring Lawrence Empire, the large area of the Four Gods Alliance, the name Eiying is synonymous with top assassins!

With such a powerful teacher and professor, coupled with the excellent genetics of the family, in the process of learning from her teacher Eikage, Katerina has combined the assassin skills she has learned with many martial arts and body techniques.

Katerina. Sifes is such a proud girl!

At this moment, Caterina watched silently as the crowd of people poured by at her feet, her feet seemed to grow on the treetops, not moving, her chest rose and fell slowly, without making a sound, and the only movement in her body was a pair of bright eyes, her gaze kept turning, searching for any possible useful clues among these soldiers.

She could see that the unit, which consisted entirely of infantry, was very tired, and had obviously been on the road for a long time, and that a very small number of soldiers had their armor stained with ash and blood, and it was obvious that something had happened to them.

Either way, the other party's target was Fit City, and she had no doubt about that.

It's just that at this time, Fite City has been captured by the enemy, and the city lord Mo Feng is only defending the fort and struggling to support it, and now the reinforcements sent at this juncture are obviously not very useful, so why did the other party, which sneaked into the territory of the empire and did not let the empire find out, would rush from this direction to Fite City, which was already in hand?

"These guys, if they attacked the city of Varosese, are understandable...... Well, if the city of Fite is attacked, the empire's attention will definitely be shifted to that side, if the other party has the means to bypass the defenders on the border line, sneak in, and secretly raid the city of Valosser, there is a good chance of success, but ......"

Caterina reasoned quickly in her mind, and when her gaze rested on a soldier with a few traces of ashes on his body, a conjecture was born in her mind.

"A small amount of blood, traces of smoke and fire, no one carrying trebuchet parts! Could it be that these guys originally intended to attack the city of Valosser, but they were attacked by unknown people...... Did they burn the components of their trebuchet, so their generals gave up their plans to continue the attack on Valoser and turned the spearhead to Fett?

Raid battles often take place at night, and there is always a break before the battle, and when those parts are burned, it is likely to be their last place to rest, and often the place where they rest before the war will not be very far from the battlefield, otherwise the rest will become useless, and too far away will consume physical strength......

If they were really attacked not far outside the city of Valoser and the trebuchet components were ignited, then the fire would have warned the defenders of the city of Valosser, so that there would be no surprise effect, and there would be no trebuchet, and it would be difficult to storm a city with thousands of infantry, not to mention a fool's dream, perhaps because the leader of the enemy was afraid of being punished by the higher echelons after the failure of the mission, so he turned to the city of Fett, wanting to surround the latter, so as to share the credit...... Won't it end too badly? ”

Katerina's head was spinning rapidly, and in this short time, with only some small details that could not be checked, she actually guessed the whole incident thoroughly!

This wit and intelligence, even if it were replaced by her great grandfather, Fester might not have imagined this extent!

As for her own guesses, Katarina, who has always believed in herself, has no doubts at all, just thinking that she did not choose to wait and see from a distance this time, but sneaked over to observe, and sure enough, it was still somewhat beneficial.

It's just that even if she is now clear about the enemy's dynamics, it won't be of much use, because the decision of Varosese City is still safe and sound, and Fite City has been besieged, Mo Feng's castle is strong and steep, and under the kind of tug-of-war in which you are attacked by me, even if you add such a 'strange soldier', it can play very little role.

Thinking of this, Caterina seemed to turn away, but before she could move her feet, a whisper mixed with the footsteps of the soldiers reached her ears over the many cacophonies.

Just because, in that sentence, there is the name 'Ash'!

Katerina's eyesight and eyesight were amazing and reliable, so she didn't think she might have heard it wrong, and when she heard the name, her body jerked, almost touching the leaves around her, revealing where she was!

She followed the prestige and found that the words were uttered by two ordinary soldiers who leaned their heads together, as if they were chatting or something, and they were just mixed in the crowd, chatting without a word, with a sad expression of hard work.

Seeing the two soldiers pass by the big tree where she was and gradually walk away, Caterina gritted her teeth, and finally moved her body, and jumped straight onto the trunk of the next tree, regardless of the danger of being discovered!

If the light was a little brighter at this time, her figure would definitely be exposed, but now it was night, and the moonlight was also obscured, and people's vision was already dim, and everyone looked downward, paying attention to the road under their feet, so as not to trip up, so Caterina's bold action was not discovered by any soldier!

And the latter's skills are really impeccable, and his body falls on the trunk of the tree in the air, except for the slight swing of the leaves, it does not even cause the slightest noise or abnormality!

And Caterina didn't have time to be proud of her feat, she just unloaded her feet and stabilized her figure, so she pricked up her ears and continued to find the voice just now:

“…… At that time, the woman came out of nowhere, and it didn't even take two minutes to solve the dozen or so unlucky guys! Then I heard her shout, 'Hurry up, Ash,' and the parts caught fire, and then I saw a kid come out of the pile of parts, and the two of them got together, and when they ran away, they killed a few more people! Fortunately, I was standing far away, otherwise my life might have been put there! ”

"Ash? Ash...... Hey, how does it look like a girl's house name? But what did you say about that kid and that girl? That's twenty people! In just a moment, it's over! It's terrifying! ”

"Cut, whatever, I don't believe it, with our general's three hundred guards, I can't catch them, but then again...... What a pity! Come to think of it, that's five hundred gold coins! There are also two levels of official promotion! Seriously, if I were from the Guards Regiment and I got this benefit, it would be ...... Gee! ”

"What's the use of thinking about this now, who told us not to cheer up during the selection, I heard that earlier, there were already guards who had already rushed up to report to the general, and those two little guys had been blocked by them in a big canyon, it seemed to be just to the southwest, not far from here! Maybe it won't be long before someone kidnaps them and sends them in, eh, it's cheaper for those bastards who look down on people, and they're all good errands......"

Hearing this, Katerina's heart had sunk to the bottom, if the 'Ash' they were talking about was the 'Ash' they were looking for. 'Lorfen', then it means that the person who will become his husband in the future is in great danger, and may even die at any moment!

But at the same time, her worry was also mixed with a hint of relief--- if it was really him, at least, he would not be a gentleman who only wanted to have fun, with only two people, he dared to surprise the camp of thousands of troops, stopped a conspiracy, and saved the people of a city, such a person, no matter how he said it, he would not be a useless guy!

And since you hear his news, then you can prove that the other party is at least alive!

"Grand Canyon...... Southwest! ”

Pressing down her thoughts, Caterina silently recited the direction she had heard in her mind again, and with a turn of her body, she disappeared silently into the night.
