Chapter 42: To be able to fly is to be capricious

What's problematic hiding under the water? Nangong Rong suddenly had such a picture in his mind: the alliance sent something contaminated with abyss energy, such as a demonic beast, to lurk in the river and quietly approach the town of Mirgan, preparing to do something after Duke Toronso's troops entered the town; 。

The more the boy thought about it, the more he felt that there was indeed such a possibility, the equipment of the secret forces of the alliance that went deep into the hinterland of the empire was all demonic beasts, and it was difficult to find a place to hide their whereabouts and ambush the duke's troops nearby, and it was impossible to drive the demonic beasts into the town of Mirgan openly, after all, not every citizen of the empire was dissatisfied with their own country;

So let a few special magical beasts hide in the water and sneak into the river to get close to the town of Mirgan, and when the old man's troops entered the town, they suddenly jumped out and created a lot of chaos, and then the main force of the alliance's secret forces hiding in the deep mountains and old forests in the distance poured out and rushed over, taking advantage of the opportunity when the troops were in chaos and crowded in the town to do so, well, it did seem like a good plan.

"It's time for your brain to make up for it. When Nangong Rong finished talking about his speculation, the system immediately gave such an evaluation unceremoniously, "Let's not mention the actions of the alliance, have you ever seen an army that will not set up vigilance and defense on the periphery of a village or town when it is stationed in a village? ”

"Ah, that last sentence is superfluous, isn't it?" said the young man, quietly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and smiling his face, "Well, I admit that I did take things too seriously, but even if the Duke's troops were well prepared to defend the area around the town, there were still signs that the Alliance was moving nearby. Tell me what the other side is trying to do?"

"It's possible that the town is going to take advantage of the fact that it's built next to a river to launch an attack, but it definitely won't be the case you said, at most it's just a fight-and-go harassment war. So rest assured, nothing very serious will happen. ”

The system is much more rigorous than Nangong Rong, who likes to open her mind, and she casually analyzed it and concluded that the alliance is likely to plan to implement harassment and fatigue tactics, and it seems that this tactic is indeed very suitable for the other party to use in the current situation. When a small group of elite troops is dealing with a large group of enemies, if they can't swallow the opponent directly, then repeated encroachment will naturally become the first choice, not to mention that the goal of the alliance is not to completely eliminate the old duke's troops, but to prevent them from going to reinforce Ridana.

Even if the use of this harassment tactic does not greatly damage the vitality of the reinforcements, at least it can make them extremely exhausted when they arrive in the imperial capital, and they will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Nangong Rong didn't care what kind of tactics the alliance was going to adopt, he just wanted to inform Octavir and Old Man Toronso as soon as possible so that they could get ready, and it was best to organize an active attack against the enemy - he didn't know where the other party was hiding before, but now he clearly knew that there was a problem with the river, so naturally there was no need to be polite, right?

"A harassment attack is also an attack, and if you are not careful, you can kill someone. Let's go back and tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess what we found, and then organize a team to go to the other side of the river to search and clear the hidden dangers. Although it is not clear exactly when the other side will take action, as long as we find the door in advance, we will definitely be able to disrupt the other party's plan. ”

What the boy said made a lot of sense, and the system also felt that it was really good: "It's a good idea, if everything goes well, maybe you can catch a few alliance Warcraft controllers, as for whether you can get information from them, it depends on the ability of Old Man Toronso." ”

Hearing this, Nakiriss immediately twisted his tail and rushed forward: "Then what are we waiting for, let's go back now." ”

Although the snake girl Lori still remembered to hold the hunted birds tightly in her hands when she was in a hurry, Nangong Rong at this moment had a bad premonition that she might not be able to eat Octavier's own cooking at noon today.

These obnoxious Confederate troops!

It's a pity that no matter how Nangong Rong curses the other party, he can't change the current situation, all he can do is to keep up with Nakiris, lest the overexcited goods leave him and go back first. However, the teenager who was hurrying after her pet didn't realize that the system had not given any explanation as to why the Abyssal Energy appeared on the Alliance's monsters, and she secretly but successfully diverted the subject.

Naturally, this system has its own considerations, and when the Alliance's troops attacked the reinforcements before, they didn't find any signs related to the abyss at all, and it was obvious that the other party itself also understood that the so-called plague virus was not easy to control, so either the "clean" monsters sent were or the virus was hidden;

Unbeknownst to the Confederate forces who had come to thwart Duke Toronso from reinforcing Ridana, the Abyss, who had been lurking in their mounts, was keenly aware of Octavire's changes, or rather, that the girl had become a child of the plane, so he was ready to use this opportunity to add a little more material to the Alliance's attack plan. At this stage, the girl's ability to resist erosion is not strong, even if the abyss energy is not much, but as long as she can find a way to enter her body, then the winner will naturally be divided.

Maybe this world is not the main target of the abyss, but the other party certainly doesn't mind weakening the power of this plane while infiltrating and expanding and adding a future powerful fighter to themselves, using the children of the plane who are supposed to protect this world as the vanguard of world destruction, is there anything more wonderful than this?

Like a black long-straight, head-to-toe crossbow.

The system felt that it was necessary to keep an eye on Octavir at all times, even if it was time to expose her existence to the abyss.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”I'm a dividing lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After Nangong Rong saw Octavier, he roughly explained to her the situation he had encountered and the relevant speculations, of course, the young man did not mention the existence of the abyss but replaced it with a plague virus, after all, the Duke of Toronso was also listening to the report on the side, and this kind of thing should not be known to the world too early.

"In this case, there is a real possibility that there is something strange on the other side of the river, and it is necessary to investigate it. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess waited until the young man finished speaking, narrowed her eyes and nodded, and muttered, "Even if it is just the effect of the remnants of the wounds of the demonic beasts injured in the previous battle cleaning their wounds by the river, you have to look for them, and you may be able to find clues of the enemy nearby." ”

Nangong Rong was not surprised at all that the girl would support her proposal, this girl had already sensed the existence of the abyss and knew very well how terrifying the other party was. It's just that the Confederate troops roaming around the hinterland of the empire didn't carry the abyss energy, and now that they have found signs of carrying, how can the girl sit idly by?

Duke Toronso, who had been caressing his chin, also spoke at this moment: "Although I am a little worried about letting Your Highness go and risk in person, there is no other way, and it is better to have a chance to find the enemy than for us to grope our way forward cautiously." During your investigation, the troops will stop advancing and prepare for an attack, and in the event of an enemy attack I will immediately send reinforcements. Remember, don't push yourself. ”

"I understand, Duke Toronso. Octavier said and beckoned to Nangong Rong, signaling the young man to follow him and directly put on a posture of preparing for action, "If the troops are unprepared, they may really be caught off guard by the other party, coupled with the complex terrain in the town, it is not impossible for the enemy to leave gorgeously after a paste." But now, since someone has discovered their traces, this calculation is naturally going to fail. Nangong Rong, it looks like I should let you go hunting more in the future?"

"So what kind of existence do you think of me as hunting, and I can find an important enemy and bring back a few wild animals by the way? ”

Of course, with the financial ability of the teenager, he has never bought any lottery tickets during the year he has lived in the imperial capital, and naturally he doesn't know if this so-called good luck can really affect this.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who had already walked out of the Duke of Toronso's command tent, ignored Nangong Rong, who was complaining and complaining, and Nakiris, who was blinking outside the tent with shiny big eyes and a [begging for a hug] expression, and instructed the old man who came out to see him off: "I know that you will definitely send a team to accompany us and provide support, so I have a small request here, let the team not get too close to the river bank, just stand by in the distance." If the troops suddenly appear by the river and start a search, the enemy will know what is going on at a glance, and they will 100 percent flee on the spot, where will we have a chance to find it?"

The old man nodded decisively to show his understanding, but he couldn't help but change his face to a puzzled expression: "But Your Highness, even if there are only two people, you and Nangong Rong, if you put up a search posture by the river, the other party will also understand what is going on?"

Nangong Rong also looked at Her Royal Highness the eldest princess with a puzzled expression.

The girl's answer was very simple and exaggerated, which made the old duke and the young man dumbfounded on the spot: "If you can't search on the bank of the river, wouldn't it be nice to search in the sky? Even if the flight altitude is a little lower, as long as you don't make any obvious reactions and movements, the other party can't tell whether you have been found or not; more importantly, even if our actions are to startle the snake, the alarmed snake can't easily escapeβ€” Because we have a clear view of the situation below in the sky, if the other party gives up the ambush and wants to get out of the river and leave, it will be discovered immediately. ”

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's method is very domineering and scoundrel: the old lady can fly is willful, what can you do to me? But to be reasonable, Nangong Rong felt that this method was a bit unrealistic, because as far as he knew, the water of this river was not clear and transparent, and he couldn't see the bottom of the water when he stood on the bank of the river, let alone in the sky? The reflection on the surface of the river did not blind his kryptonite dog eyes, and he was already thankful.

Well, after the eldest princess flies over the river, she will soon realize this mistake, there is no need to take the initiative to stand up and pick a thorn in her interest. Nangong Rong indifferently chose to remain silent, and then after [rubbing] Nakiris's ability to make her recover from seeing Octavir's starry eye state, she made the snake girl Lori turn into a ten-meter-tall original posture and flew herself into the sky.

There, Octavir's Wyvern had already soared a hundred paces away.

The boy commanded his mount and quickly caught up with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the support troops arranged by the Duke of Toronso on the ground also got into tanks and cars and drove out along the rudimentary road, and everyone went straight in the direction of the river.

I didn't see anything strange, and the flight was as boring as the previous patrol and reconnaissance, but after reaching the sky above the river, Nangong Rong, who was yawning, still boured up his spirits and tried to stare at the river with wide eyes, trying to find something.

The boy was soon blinded by the reflection of the river, but fortunately he saw it with the eyes of Nakiris, and the snake girl Lori didn't care about this level of stimulation, so there was no nonsensical sight of rolling on the ground with her eyes covered. But, as the boy had guessed before, there was nothing hidden in the river until it was lowered to a dangerous height.

Descending to that height is no different than telling the hidden Confederates that we know you are here.

To Nangong Rong's surprise, Octavir didn't make any other moves when she arrived above the river, she just looked down flatly, the expression on her face focused and serious, as if she could really see something.

"Well, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, I can't see anything here, can you see what's going on in the water?" the young man asked, still not holding back his curiosity, "Or are you not actually looking for enemies with your eyes?"

"Didn't you know that there is a kind of wind magic called Eagle Eye that allows people to see in the distance?"

"How could I, a person who had never been formally exposed to magic, know!"
