Chapter 160: Night Walking

The Bloodstained Grey Flower team that left the port area did not venture alone, and the scorching fireball in the sky had become their enemy by this time. In the afterglow of this pre-sunset, the Council of Nobles, who have occupied several of the highest points in the city, can easily spot any actions of the players. To attack rashly at such a time would only put yourself in danger.

Therefore, after leaving the port area, the players only rushed to the edge of the battle line where the two sides were grabbing back and forth. Then he found a house that had been abandoned by the war, and waited for the sunset to come. After gaining cover in the night, it was time for Barrett to plan for action.

Pulled Lu, clinging to the door, twitched her ears as she listened to any sound coming from outside the house. At the slightest suspicious disturbance, he must notify Barrett at the first time to prevent players from encountering a surprise attack from enemies while they wait. After all, this area in front of you belongs to the area where the confrontation between the two warring sides is most intense.

So don't look like the player's area is still under the control of Walkerson City, but it may have been taken by the Council of Nobles now. Therefore, we must not take it lightly with a fluke mentality, otherwise we may make a mistake and fall into the abyss.

"Barrett, do you think it's possible for us to fall into the trap of the 'Eagle Feathers' legion?" Claudia, who had just been in high spirits when she first set out, somehow became a little worried because of such a wait.

Barrett, who was not far away from the morale of the whole team, immediately looked at Claudia with a frown and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I just remembered when we were discussing things in the inn during this time. But it's all undisguised! Speaking of this, Claudia looked around warily, "Just before leaving, Barrett, you also said that there must be intelligence officers from the noble council in the port area. That's the case. Isn't it possible that all of our actions will fall under the eyes of the enemy? ”

"Claudia, you're thinking too much. In the port area, there are groups with similar statements with us, not 100 but 50. If the intelligence officers on the side of the noble council heard every such news they had to pass it on to the outside world. Their excessively frequent communications have long been exposed to the eyes of the secret guards in Walkerson City. Barrett reached out and patted Claudia on the shoulder as he said this, "And what we say in public has never been anything concrete. Even if they are able to contact their own upgrades at will. But if this kind of information had been transmitted, these guys would have been drowned with spit......

Of course, there is also the fear of hurting Claudia's self-esteem and affecting the team's fighting spirit. So Barrett didn't say it directly - that is, don't look at the players' previous performances, but in the eyes of the commander of the noble council in this war zone, it is just a few inconsequential little things.

After all, the disadvantage in numbers made it difficult for the Bloodstained Grey Flower to have any decent impact on the tide of battle on their own - they were like a razor-sharp knife. But who can expect to kill an elephant with a knife, or cut out a basket of firewood. In the absence of follow-up support, the vast majority of knives end up being scrapped by themselves. The impact on the target is often nothing more than a non-fatal scar.

So Barrett doesn't have the same severe paranoia of victimization as Claudia - suddenly one day he feels like someone is going to calculate his own business. At the very least, until he reaches the strength and status that is really likely to affect the whole body, Barrett doesn't think about that kind of small probability event. Otherwise, the result is too much foresight. It's just a shackle that restricts the player's own footsteps. At the same time, it will also bring a lot of psychological pressure to people. Eventually, you risk crushing yourself.

Claudia, who still insisted on her own point of view, continued to ask, "Then why did you let Lalu get the mission alone?" ”

"Isn't that easy?" Barrett patted his head, "There is no surveillance specifically for us, but it doesn't mean that they will completely stop their intelligence work!" There must be their informants in the square, and all the teams that receive the tasks that day will be under their watch. And we don't have to put too much effort into things like this. What's so bad about being able to add some work to those guys! ”

"Say a thousand things and ten thousand. It's all the pot that Diya thinks too much of herself. As she said this, Clematis reached out and messed up Claudia's release, and at the same time, there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes. It seems to be shouting the word 'narcissist'.

After slapping the palm of Clematis on her head, Claudia immediately turned around and prepared to take revenge. But at this time, Barrett suddenly said loudly: "The topic is over! If you two want to make trouble, please wait until this operation is over and settle it privately. For now, please be silent for a while, and attract the guys that no one wants to see, and the operation will fail! ”

When the temporarily abandoned house falls back into silence, players use their own 'work' to pass the time until night actually falls. Over time, the color of the door fades from white to yellow and from yellow to orange. With a slightly cool autumn breeze, the sun sinks into the depths of the ocean to the west.

The dark curtain was dotted with a few brilliant gemstones, and the light sprinkled on the silver plate was like flowing water, silently pouring over the earth. Everything in front of me seemed to be shrouded in a light veil, showing a faint hazy feeling. Under the bright moonlight, several shadows were constantly passing over the broken streets.

In order not to expose themselves to ensure the effectiveness of the raid, the players of 'Bloodstained Grey Flower' did not use torches or lanterns this time. Fortunately, among the players in front of them, Barrett, Anvil, and Rielly have the ability to see in darkness, and can see normally in a completely dark environment. And Lalu also has low-light vision, so she won't be too affected on this moonlit night. So although Clematis and Claudia are not very comfortable with the environment in front of them, they will not be able to move an inch with the help of their companions.

Suddenly, Barrett, who was leading the way at the front, stopped in his tracks. And after seeing his palm, which was suddenly raised to shoulder height. The next few players also stopped in time, and did not cause any irreparable rear-end incidents. Rielly, who was in the middle of the line, naturally lowered her voice and whispered, "Barrett!" Is there something going on up ahead? ”

"It's a sentry! However, it is the banner of the 'Dragon Claw' Corps. But according to the previous information, this should be the defense area of the 'Eagle Feather' Corps. Most of Barrett's facial expression was clouded in the moonlight. But the half of the savings can still make people feel his uneasiness now.

"It's just that for some reason, they suddenly changed their guards." Rielly bit her lip and was silent for a moment before continuing to speak, "Will this have any serious impact on our actions?" ”

"I don't know! At least not yet. Barrett didn't give a direct answer. Because the series of changes involved behind this mobilization of the defense line can have a big or small impact on the current situation.

On the bright side, it has the potential to have no negative effect on the player's actions. On the contrary, it will make it easier for players to move. But if it is in the wrong and bad direction, it is entirely possible that the 'bloodstained gray flowers' will plunge headlong into the local garrison where the main army is ready to go. Whether or not you can escape alive at that time can only depend on the arrangement of fate.

"So what are you going to do now!" Biting her fingernails, Rielie looked at her companion. Then he asked, "Why don't I fly up and see what's going on behind that?" ”

"Don't! Go Farewell! Lily, what do you think this place is? I don't think the two major legions of the Council of Nobles will be unprepared to deal with aerial scouting. Clematis behind her was in a hurry, but she was still able to control her vocal cords. There is no noise that would attract inspectors.

Of course, judging from the current situation, Kleimatis's worries are still very reasonable. This world with supernatural abilities has developed for so many years. There are definitely a lot of encounters with enemies in the air during the war. So they definitely won't be without the means to deal with these situations.

If it is a small team, there may be a trade-off due to cost issues, but the two corps in front of them are unlikely to have shortcomings in this regard - not to mention that if they meet the knights they saw that day. Rielly, who flew into the sky, had absolutely no chance of escaping.

"Forget it! I'll go for it! It's a good time to put your newly acquired abilities to the test. Barrett, who was also soft-spoken, began to turn his head. I observed the street environment in front of me. Looking at the collapsed ruins and ruined houses, he finally had a plan that wasn't quite mature.

"I can go around to the back of the room closest to the checkpoint first, and wait until I can use my traversal ability to go over and see what is going on myself. You hide there under the cover of the wall. Barrett, who said this, stretched out his hand and pointed to the target he had chosen.

As a few of them walked cautiously, they began to move towards the building that Barrett had been referring to. Once he had reached the intended target, Barrett reached out and gently tapped on the wall that separated us from the enemy, and after making sure that there was no danger of collapse, he reached out and walked straight towards it.

It was originally when the layman thought that Barrett would stop because of the collision. His hands were the first to sink into the wall. Immediately afterwards, as if falling into a swamp, the whole person merged with the dark wall and disappeared in front of his companions.

And in another reappeared Barrett. At the moment, he was carefully hiding in the shadows behind the corner, rolling his eyes to observe the situation nearby. It soon became apparent to him that a room 20 feet from the sentry looked deliberate. It's a pity that Barrett, who is not a wanderer, wears this armor, and he can't easily get under the eyes of the enemy. As a last resort, he submerged himself into the wall again, and then appeared in another visual blind spot of the sentry personnel.

Creeping Barrett soon came to the house he suspected, and from the faint sound of the voice, it was concluded that there were definitely a lot of people in it. After discovering this change from the previous information, Barrett immediately turned around and left without saying a word.

When his figure resurfaced from the original wall, Claudia couldn't help but ask first: "What about the specific situation in the back?" ”

"It's changed a lot! In addition to the sentry, the guys of the 'Dragon Claw' regiment seem to have placed a front-line barracks not far away. There were 50-60 people, to say the least. Barrett frowned at this, "You must know that this is not positional warfare, and such a dense arrangement is likely to encounter a surprise attack by the enemy. Unless they have some special action to cooperate with, it is unlikely that such an arrangement will be made. ”

"50-60 plus a sentry?" Rielly also hesitated at this time, "If the enemy's individual strength is comparable to that of the soldiers of the previous 'Eagle Feather' Corps, it seems that we are not unable to solve it. But if the noise is too big, don't do it next. ”

"So let's get ready! The first is to abandon this direction for a while, and we will touch another sentry. However, it is not excluded that all front-line posts may undergo such changes. Speaking of this, Barrett paused, "The other is to forcibly destroy the small front-line barracks, so that the plans of the noble council will be completely exposed. Of course, if we do this, it will definitely be an urban battle royale waiting for us. ”

"Then try City Battle Royale! We've never done anything so exciting! Claudia was slightly excited.

And Barrett, after finding no objections, smiled bitterly twice: "You guys are really! Okay, a few of us are in the places we've been to before. After I've gone through the wall and dealt with the two sentinels, we'll decide what to do with the barracks. ”

With that, Barrett relapsed into the shadows, on the other side of the wall. Barrett, who suddenly appeared, clearly exceeded the two sentinels' thinking. Faced with the blade that appeared out of thin air from the wall, one of them was cut in two before he could react. And the rest of the people didn't have time to send out the alarm for help, and their heads were completely separated from their torso. (To be continued.) )
