Chapter 408: The Dawn Before the Decisive Battle
Two days later, at 0:00 a.m. on October 30.
"Are you ready?"
Arrow exhaled a little and asked.
The members of Mermaid Song, who had already made all the preparations, had naturally made all the preparations for armament by now, and they all slept to their heart's content, and they all nodded energetically.
"Ready! President! β
Looking at the mental state of these guys, Arrow nodded with great satisfaction.
He looked back at the Winter Stationmaster standing outside the guild gate, and at the ten members of the Heavenly Light Guild gathered beside him.
Most of the members of the Heavenly Light had already set off for their destination a day in advance to set up an ambush. Now that the time is almost there, after counting the number of people a little and checking the materials carried by the members, Rin Dong also nodded and gave the final order-
"Let's go!"
The members of Heaven's Light did not respond as excitedly as the members of the Mermaid Song. Instead, with a perfect pre-battle calm, he turned around and quickly got into the carriage that had been waiting for a long time. With the sound of horses' hooves, it also indicates that this battle is about to start the most terrible prelude.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Since the Merfolk Song only needed to be stationed in a safe place to express their position and not to fight, the carriage they rode in was located at the rear of the team.
Along the way, the convoy quickly left the city under the cover of darkness, and sped quickly towards a mountain range in the north of Snow Creek City against the starless night.
Feeling the jolt under the carriage, Arrow could also feel his heart fluttering rapidly.
Albeit...... On the surface, it is said that this battle does not need to be participated in by the Mermaid Song, but it still makes him feel a little nervous when he really faces such a big battlefield.
"Human life, sometimes it seems really cheap."
Just when Arrow was nervous, Cream, who was looking out the window in a daze, suddenly said something.
As everyone focused on the Assassin, Cream seemed to notice that she had slipped out. But he didn't want to retract the meaning of this sentence, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "The True Eyes of more than a hundred members can carry out this eradication operation with only 500 gold coins. On average, a human life is only 5 gold coins, so it's really cheap. β
Brad didn't seem to understand what Cream meant, and hurriedly said, "No, didn't the president say it?" All the loot went to those two guilds, and we couldn't get any of it. β
Since Brad has said so, it is not good for Cream to continue to bar. He raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and said with a smile: "Okay, count me wrong. President, where are we going now? If the war starts at four o'clock in the morning, will the Heavenly Light and the Night Fangs really be able to complete this mission? β
Seeing that Cream took the initiative to admit his mistake, Brad's brows furrowed slightly. He retracted his body, thought for a moment, and gently said to Parfay on his shoulder, "Did I say something wrong?" β
Parfay pouted, just told him to shut up and not speak.
Arrow retracted his gaze from the window and said slowly, "The place we are going to this time is called Shifeng Mountain, which is located in the north of Snow Creek City. It's not far away, and it shouldn't take long to arrive. According to the Stationmaster Winter, their Heavenly Light had already made it clear years ago that the headquarters of the True Eye was in the cave of Peak Mountain. It's just that at that time, the True Eye was still a legal guild on the surface, and it was not opened in Snow Creek City, and it didn't have any intention of stealing business, so it had been safe and sound. Now that it's time to target, then naturally there is no need to talk about any feelings. β
Cream frowned slightly and said, "So...... Aren't we worried about what the True Eye is doing to prepare? After all, even if you live in the mountains, you still need to come to Snow Creek City to purchase every day, right? Seeing that so many people suddenly gathered in the city, the True Eye would not have any suspicions? β
Airo nodded slightly: "I also have a big question about this question. However, the stationmaster of Winter said that the reason why we arranged to start the battle today is to get stuck in the time gap. Until today, there would have been constant operations on the capital side. Then at 0:00 a.m. today, October 30, the formalities for identifying the True Eye as an illegal organization and expelling him from the guild roster were passed. In other words, until we start the battle a few hours later, the True Eye will probably not know that it is an 'illegal' guild. β
"Since the True Eye had considered itself a legitimate guild before this, it was natural that he would not have any problem with the sudden presence of a large number of other guild members in Snow Creek City. Nor would they have thought that so many people had gathered to target them exactly. β
Listening to Arrow's explanation, Margaux on the side was holding his staff of light, looking a little bored. She waved her finger slightly, and said with a lazy expression: "I said Cream, you are too nervous about the organization and mobilization of those guys, right?" A True Eye Guild is more than a hundred people at best. And the entire Snow Creek City, to say the least, has a scale of 70,000 or 80,000 people, right? Among the seventy or eighty thousand people, there are suddenly less than fifty people in the two guilds of us and the Fangs of the Night, what is it? Coco, don't you say? β
Margaux nudged the little necromancer beside her.
But Coco's current situation is a bit wooden. After being pushed by Margaux, she seemed to be startled all of a sudden, and her whole body jumped up slightly.
"Huh? Girl, what's wrong with you? β
Margaux felt something strange about Coco's nervousness now, and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder.
Coco's face turned a little pale, she tilted her head, her lips slightly white, and after a moment she shook her head softly and said, "I...... It's okay. Nothing ......."
But for Coco's statement that it was okay, Margaux didn't want it to end like this.
She tapped the little girl's head lightly with the head of her staff: "Hey, what do you mean it's nothing?" I've seen several little sisters say to me it's okay, and in the end it's all wrong, and all of them have big things happening. Don't give me such a vague statement, what the hell is going on. β
Coco tilted her head, but she didn't mean to continue.
Seeing this, Margaux turned her head to look at Arrow over there, as if she wanted Arrow to say a few words.
However, Arrow only smiled now and said, "Don't think about Coco, if she wants to say it, then she will naturally say it." Although by and large...... I think I should be able to guess something too. But Coco, whether to say it or not, whether to do it or not or not depends on your own ideas. I will not say anything. Ah, it's almost there. β
As he spoke, the carriage slowly stopped.
Everyone got out of the car, saw that Rin Dong and the others in front of them were also getting off the carriage in front, and then beckoned the carriage to leave immediately.
Looking at the dark mountains in front of him, Rindon said a few words to a member of the Heavenly Light who seemed to come to greet him, waved his hand to the mermaid song here, and walked towards the mountains together.
Along the way, everyone was speechless.
Estimating the time, it was almost three o'clock in the morning, and Arrow and the others finally followed the light of heaven to a mountain with a relatively open view. After looking around for a moment, Winter stepped forward and said, "President Arrow, this is where you are stationed. There are no tables, chairs, stools, or food or drinks, but please wait here. β
Arrow nodded and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, I can still do things like a show and express my position." Then, look forward to the victory of the Heavenly Light! β
Winter smiled and waved at Arrow, and immediately led the rest of the Heavenly Light down the mountain, continuing to rely on the pre-dawn darkness to move deeper into the mountains.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The night is incomparably deep.
Except for the occasional sound of demonic beasts coming from this secluded mountain forest, everything around was quiet.
Arrow took out a small stool prepared in advance and sat down on the ground, and the others also found some slightly dry places to sit down, quietly waiting for the upcoming battle.
And then......
"It's so boring~~~"
After waiting for a while, Margaux couldn't sit still at first.
She patted herself on the shoulder, chased away the mosquitoes, and said with a look of disgustβ
"President, it's really boring just to sit here. Can't we go to the front and see? And...... These little bugs run at me all day long, and it's really disgusting. β
Coco on the side seemed to never miss any opportunity to scare Margaux, and said happily: "Ahhhh Who told you to wear so few clothes all day long, with your arms and shoulders exposed, your thighs and your waist, and who do you bite if the insects don't bite? β
The corners of Margaux's mouth twitched, and she immediately walked to Coco's side in the dark, and suddenly stretched out her hands and squeaked the little girl's waist directly.
Now, these two girls are playing around here, and the tense atmosphere on the scene seems to be gone all of a sudden.
Arrow reached out to soothe the two struggling women, and turned his head to continue to look out into the dark mountain col in the distance.
At this moment, Cream in the back looked at the wall watch in his arms and said, "President, it's four o'clock." It's time to start the action over there, right? β
Arrow nodded. Seeing this, Brad also stepped forward, trying to open his eyes wide and look in the direction of the Heavenly Light people, he squinted for a long time, but still shook his head, and said, "But why can't I see any traces of the battle at all?" Those magicians are very strong, but there is no thumping sound now...... In the past, during the guild wars, the mages must have been relatively quiet in battle. β
