Captain Antonio and Captain Ian are both low-level members of the Dark Rising organization, they are actually affiliated with the "Black Dragon Society" action group of the Dark Rising organization, and there are about dozens of captains in the action group, they are usually not affiliated with each other, and they are called captains to each other. For them, it's a disguise.

Only when there is an action, the chief of the Black Dragon Society will contact them and deliver a message to them after receiving a direct command from the Patriarch. The style of organization and work is this kind of one-line connection, and in the Manning incident, the five captains of them were actually not very familiar with it before, but they received the same task and rounded in the same place.

After helping Ian escape from the Adventurers' Guild at the Westside Bridge and destroy the Westside Bridge, Antonio took Ian and hid at the Manning Border for more than ten days. During this time, Ian once asked Antonio how he, as a samurai, blew up the Westside Bridge, and Antonio laughed and did not answer. "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know that the organization is experimenting with the effect of the 'Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire' magic array, I have heard that the activation method of this magic array is very special, and it needs to be handled by one person at close range. ”

More than ten days later, the Patriarch sent new news through the Chief of the Black Dragon Society. Captain Anna's operation in the elven kingdom of Nosirio has completely failed, and the Patriarch has lost all traces of Anna. At the same time, according to the Great Patriarch, the old immortal of the Elf Kingdom has completely closed the Elf Kingdom, and he is really shrewd to the extreme, and the Great Patriarch admits that he underestimated the Great Elf King.

The failure of Anna's plan led to the forced interruption of the organizational plan, and in order to carry out the next plan normally, they had to go to the territory of the Desik Empire to lurk and cooperate with the upcoming operation, the Black Dragon Society, and the follow-up will organize a new operation in the territory of Desik. The military liaison within the Desik Empire will cooperate with them.

So, near the Grand Canyon on the Manning border, the two people who had been eating dry food for more than ten days had to make a detour to another bridge on the Grand Canyon, pretending to be merchants, and rushed to the imperial capital of Desike, White Rock City, day and night. The military liaison of the Desik Empire was responsible for receiving them and placing them in a large tent in a private house east of White Rock City.

The message given by the chief of the Black Dragon Society was that their people would come to White Rock City on November 11 of this year to do a big thing, and it was about forty days before now, and on this day when they waited for the thirty-eighth day, General Jin, the general of the Desik garrison, sent countless garrison soldiers, holding the pictures of the two of them, and began to search for the entire city of White Rock City.

Antonio and Ian, hidden in a big tent in the east of Baiyan City, the imperial capital of Desik, is a residential area, and many foreign merchants choose to settle here. Of course, no one within the Dark Rising organization realized that a political force within Desik had joined forces with the Adventurers' Guild and would target them.

So, when a large number of ordinary soldiers of the Central Garrison poured into the settlement to the east of the city, Antonio and Ian did not expect it at all.

The attitude of the Desik soldiers towards civilians was not friendly, and the entire Desik Imperial Army maintained a rather barbaric style. Therefore, when the garrison soldiers began to search for the residential area in the east of the city, both the original residents of Baiyan City and the merchants from outside the merchant alliance obediently left the house and stood outside the house to line up for inspection.

Antonio and Ian are not the first time they have come to White Rock City, but the scene in front of them is the first time they have seen them. Moreover, when the two of them noticed the picture in the soldier's hand, they secretly glanced at each other, and both hid their bodies against the wall.

"What's going on?" asked Earl Norton aloud.

General Kim went on to explain, "At the same time as our meeting, I had already arranged for the garrison to conduct a city-wide search, and I don't know if it was luck or if the people who rose from darkness were too arrogant, and they didn't do anything to hide. ”

"How's it going?" asked Green.

General Jin glanced down at the parchment again, "The information sent just now is not very detailed, but it just said that when the soldiers were searching in the east of the city, they found two suspicious people, and the soldiers just stepped forward to ask, and the two attacked the soldiers without warning." Before more soldiers could surround them, the two fled outside the city. ”

"So what now?" asked Green nervously.

"Hmph, this is Baiyan City, it's not so easy to escape!" General Jin said categorically, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

"Antonio, you're too impulsive!" The two of them were still complaining to each other, "I'll just say that they are just a simple search, and they can't find us, why do you do it, this is White Rock City, not Manning!"

Antonio didn't look back, "Didn't you see the image in their hands, that image, before only the Adventurer's Guild had it, they were obviously premeditated, you practice magic, you practice stupidity!"

"Hmph, then what do you say now? ”

Antonio saw a tall building next to him, and when he mentioned Ian, he jumped on it. This is the watchtower in the White Rock Castle, which is much higher than ordinary buildings, and the guards can overlook the whole city. As soon as there is a warning point, the red flag on the watchtower will point to the soldiers on the road. And there are many such watchtowers in White Rock City.

Just now, Antonio and Ian created a little chaos in the east of the city, and several watchtowers around them were paying attention to the east of the city, and the guards on this tower also craned their necks to look down, unaware of the movement behind them. I saw a yellow light flash, and a human head fell down the tower. A large hand reached out, caught it, and threw it in the corner of the tower.

"Can you please not make it so disgusting every time!" Ian, who looked disgusted, frowned.

"No, my sword qi is a good thing, if anyone else cuts off this head, the blood that soars out more than one person is really disgusting, I'm nothing. Antonio said without emotion.

The two stood under a high watchtower and looked into the city. Antonio was moving too fast, and he took Ian up to the watchtower, and the pursuers behind him were stunned and still running around like headless flies.

However, the Desik soldiers were really well organized, and after a period of panic, they quickly regrouped their formation. Different squads were responsible for searching different lanes, and there were also reserve teams on the periphery, blocking all the intersections, rows of heavy weapons, being brought in from the direction of the palace, and in the distance, several teams of Steppenwolf riders were already coming in this direction. Not far away, on other watchtowers, soldiers anxiously searched for their targets.

"What now?" asked Ian.

"Don't worry, it's safe for now. ”

"Yes, temporarily, however, the Desik soldiers will soon be able to spot us. ”

Antonio thought for a moment, "Captain Ian, do you know how to do psychic magic, can you change our image." ”

Ian shook his head, "My branch of magic is the study of space magic, and I also have a little bit of offensive magic. So, I can't do what you ask for, you'd better think about it quickly and see below. ”

Listening to Ian's words, Antonio was a little disappointed. Looking down, a group of organized Desik garrison soldiers were investigating the alleys one by one, and they were all well-trained, all of them were opening the way with crossbow arrows, and the slightest movement was a row of steel crossbow arrows flying away, not caring about the possibility of injuring civilians.

In the distance that the two of them couldn't see, in the largest restaurant in the east of Baiyan City, General Jin, Earl Norton, Green, Setie and their respective subordinates were all gathered here, and not far away, it was the eastern district of Baiyan City, which was surrounded by groups.

On the table was a huge map of the eastern part of Baiyan City, and General Jin was holding a thin stick and was pointing: "Now, I have urgently mobilized about 3,000 garrison soldiers, and at the same time, after reporting to the base camp and the imperial palace respectively, His Majesty the Emperor has supported my small team of skilled warriors in the wasteland. Now, a thousand out of three thousand, a line of defense will be built on the perimeter, and not a single bird will be able to fly. The remaining 1,500 people will be searched street by street, and the last 500 will be our reserve troops. ”

"Besides," General Jin said, "if it's really similar to what the intelligence says, there is also a dangerous dark mage among them, and at that time, Mage Setie will have to rely on you." ”

Setie looked towards the east of the city, "Don't worry, Pete and Angelina, it's over." ”

"Okay!" Seeing the support of Master Setty, General Jin didn't say much, and then turned to Earl Norton, "The pacification of the civilians will be entrusted to the Prime Minister." ”

Earl Norton nodded, "It's a matter of duty!"

"General Jin", Green on the side, suddenly looked into the distance and asked, "What are those things?" Following the direction of Green's finger, everyone looked, and it turned out that there were several stone towers in the east of the city, which seemed a little abrupt in the low big tent group.

"What's the matter, those are the watchtowers used by the garrison, where you can get a full view of the city. General Jin explained to Green, who didn't say anything more, rolled his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and his gaze looked towards the few divine crossbows that had just been mobilized from the city defense forces below.

Antonio and Ian were still hiding on this watchtower for the time being, and in order to prevent detection, Antonio even dared to wave the red flag on the top of the watchtower to signal the direction of the pursuer. "It's not a way to go on like this, and when we hold on until dark, we must find a way to get out. "It's Captain Ian who speaks.

"You're right," Antonio looked up at the horizon, the blue sun was already below the horizon, and the red sun was still a few blocks away (Note 1), and it was estimated that it would not be long before night fell. The two of them were on the tower to plan their actions after dark, and for a moment they didn't notice the movement below, just as Antonio was picking up a stone and drawing something on the ground, a loud "woo" sharp and piercing sound broke through the air, and with a "boom", it pierced into the stone wall beside the two, and the cracked rubble splashed everywhere.

Antonio and Ian looked up to see an arm-thick crossbow bolt embedded in the stone wall, the crossbow rod still shaking slightly.

Note 1: When the red sun and the blue sun were in the sky, the scientists of the continent liked to divide the sky into 120 squares, corresponding to the position of the red sun and blue sun in the sky, in fact, this method was first used by the magicians of the Magic Empire, who needed to accurately define the position of the blue sun to complete the magic, and later invented this method.
