Chapter 31: Hide and Seek
"This location isn't any of the places that Hill and Main have revealed, and it's clear that Najehitan is ready for the two of them to betray and abandon the few alternate bases on the surface."
Bai Fenggu said so, naturally took over the command, and arranged it with ease: "The hiding place of the night raiders must be nearby, so that the route when you come does not need to be explored, we are divided into three ways, Estes, you take the three orcs to this side, by the way, contact Saileu, let her lead the imperial capital garrison to set up an encirclement, Yog, the five of you go here, and I and the heroic spirits are responsible for the rest of the way, once the situation is discovered, don't act blindly, send a signal to gather people first." ”
Estes already had a clear affection for White Maple Valley, and had no objection to his order to "dominate the guests", so naturally, the five Yug and the three orcs obeyed the order and did not mention it separately.
On the White Maple Valley's side, he took out the pseudo-chalice and summoned the two heroic spirits, Ciel and Mayin, and then pointed to the surrounding environment and quipped, "It seems that Najiehitan not only doesn't care about your life and death, but even hides a lot of information from you." At least, you don't know where this is hidden. ”
Even though Hill and Ma Yin had to obey the orders of White Maple Valley because of the contract with the Pseudo-Holy Grail, the second daughter was still very reluctant to fight with the Night Raid Organization, and Ma Yin was even more sarcastic: "You don't need to sow discord, the boss is just to guard against a despicable villain like you!" Hmph, we're not going to go toe-to-toe with our former comrades! ”
Bai Fenggu smiled inexplicably and said, "Even if your companion wants to kill me, a life-saving benefactor, can I only get you to protect me through compulsory orders?" ”
Ma Yin was speechless and prevaricated: "You! Don't quibble! ”
Compared to Mayne's speechlessness, Hill was calmer. "Mayne, don't let him get carried away! What a life-saving benefactor, but to control our souls through evil magic, and, with his strength, is enough to support Estes to support. That's still where we need to protect. ”
Bai Fenggu was guessed to be thinking, but he didn't care, so he went first, "Follow up, maybe your companions are in my direction." ”
Rewind to the early hours of last night, in the hiding place of the Night Raiders, from the leader Najehitan, down to the Red Pupil, Leonay, Lubbock, Brand and Tazmi, all gathered in the hall. His expression was full of worry and anxiety.
The night was as cool as water, and the breeze was gentle, but when it entered the hall, it was filled with an oppressive and dreary atmosphere.
For a long time, Leonay, who was quite hearty, looked up at the clock on the wall, looked at the hour hand that was already pointing to two o'clock, and said impatiently: "Boss, Ciel and Ma Yin haven't come back yet." Something must have happened! We've got to pick them up! ”
Najehitan was anxious, but as Estes had said. She is a person who has a passionate heart, but can fight calmly, at this time she maintained her composure on the surface, and after a moment of contemplation, she suddenly gave the order.
"Let's leave immediately, let's go to the imperial capital to see the situation first!"
Although Najehitan did not explicitly say that she was going to rescue Ciel and Mayin. But to be able to go to the imperial capital, these killers in the night raid organization who had already been ready to sacrifice their consciousness for the belief in their hearts were satisfied, and they were all generous and ready to go.
Before leaving. Najehitan ordered the group to pack up the base, "Destroy everything that might expose information, and this base should be abandoned when we're gone." ”
Half an hour later, the night raiders looked at the "new" and clean base, sighed, and rushed to the direction of the imperial capital by night.
Upon arrival in the Imperial Capital, Najehitan led the night raiders to the revolutionary stronghold, where they learned that Hill and Main had been captured by Estes. Of course, because the imperial capital garrison surrounded the battlefield at that time, the spies of the Revolutionary People's Army could only get this kind of vague information, and they couldn't even judge the life and death of the second daughter.
Receiving the expected sad news, Najeshitan judged the situation and left with the night raiders, calmly giving up the impulsive idea of saving Ciel and Main overnight, and moved to another hidden location.
The next morning, when the White Maple Valley and Estes followed the treasure hunt rat to the hiding place of the Night Raid Organization, Na Jiehetan, Red Hitomi, and Leonai were discussing their next move, the core of which was naturally the rescue of Ciel and Mayne.
Leonai took the initiative to say: "BOSS, the imperial capital doesn't have my wanted warrant yet, I'll go to investigate later, and I must first determine the current situation of Hill and Mayne." ”
Najehitan nodded, and sat on the main seat solemnly, the right arm that had been cut off by Estes has now been replaced by a cyan mechanical arm, she flexibly held the cigarette with her mechanical fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Estes is worthy of being a famous general of the empire, as soon as he made a move, he caught Hill and Mayne. ”
At this time, Najeshitan was about to announce his plan, but suddenly, Lubbo interrupted it with a wave of his hand, and said urgently: "Boss, someone has touched my alert!" ”
Lubbock's Imperial Tool "Ever-Changing: Cross-Tail" is a tough, thread-like Imperial Tool that can open into traps or probe enemy barriers, and has the ability to sever restraints, as its nickname suggests. Its silk threads are made of the body-hair of the super dangerous species that is said to inhabit the clouds of the East China Sea, and are not only strong, but also extremely sharp.
Normally, the security around the hiding place of the night raid is in charge of Lubbock, and this time is naturally no exception. As soon as he arrived at the new base last night, Lubbo didn't have time to rest, so he first laid a defensive barrier around the base, so that he could find the appearance of White Maple Valley and Estes at the first time.
"From which direction? How many people are there? Najehitan asked calmly.
At the same time, a few miles to the east of the Night Raid Organization's hiding place, Estes Slender Jade pinched a transparent tough silk thread and muttered, "It looks like some kind of imperial tool, hehe, is it really hiding around here, hehe, Najieshitan, where do you want to run this time?!" ”
As he spoke, Estes caught the subtle breath left on the silk thread, and after a little discrimination, he pointed in one direction and said firmly: "Go, which direction are they on!" ”
"Yes, master!"
The Three Orcs responded and followed closely behind Estes, and several of them had disappeared into the dense forest. And the direction they chose was the hiding place of the Night Raid Organization.
On the other side, the White Maple Valley and Yug also discovered the transparent silk threads hidden in the canopy, grass, and shrubs, and followed the guidance of the silk threads to accurately rush towards the hiding place of the night raid organization.
Perhaps Lubbo didn't expect that this time it was the defensive barrier he had arranged with the Emperor's "Ever-Changing and Crossing Tail" that exposed their whereabouts. (To be continued.) )
