Chapter 16: Fierce Battle
The justice that is disqualified in the world is not evil.
Sidekicks (Ambushers in the Shadows)
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and it became silent, and the five Hiiragi began to split up after reaching the designated ambush location.
The two people who are directly on the front are Thorn and Zhu Tian, and the people in charge of the raid from behind are Hiiragi and the rest of the horse head and Suzuka.
This distribution scheme is the most reasonable, after all, Hiiragi's three figures are easier to hide than the previous two, and the chance of being found will be smaller.
However, Hiiragi also understands that among the members of the NightRaid, Lubbo has an imperial tool called [Ever-Changing (Crossing Tail)], which is very useful as a tool for detecting and preventing ambushes.
It's just that that's based on pre-preparation, after all, the trigger trap laid by the emperor needs to be done in advance, otherwise it won't be useful.
Hiiragi also hid in the leaves of the trees with Matou and Suzuka, and the two of them were about ten meters away, and once the NightRaid was fully encircled, they could attack at the same time in an instant.
Looking up, Hiiragi also looked at the night sky above, and with the moon obscured, the visibility in the forest was low, but he could barely see the enemy's movements.
"There's footsteps...... Looks like your information is accurate. ”
"Of course, Miss Suzuka, are you ready?"
"What do you say? No matter what kind of enemy it is, as long as it satisfies me. ”
Footsteps, from far to near, are plural footsteps! Is it NightRaid sure enough?!
In the dark of night, Hiiragi's eyes had adjusted to the dark area, staring closely at the entrance of the wooded path.
The direction of the entrance is close to the Imperial Capital City, and once the NightRaid completes the mission and retreats, it will definitely choose this path.
Of course, all of this is Hiiragi's speculation, and it's not clearly described in the plot, so it's Hiiragi's gamble to win.
The footsteps began to approach this side, and the speed was fast, and it was impossible for ordinary people to move so fast, and at the same time, they would not come to a suburb infested with monsters in the middle of the night.
Brush! The leaves were pushed away by a man, and from the blackened bushes, Tazmi was the first to run out of them, followed by Red Hitomi.
On the left, the person who jumped up with one foot on the trunk of a tree, and then landed on the ground and continued to run was Leonay, one after the other, who appeared in everyone's field of vision.
It's not that all the members of NightRaid are acting together, and there is no Najieta who was originally an imperial general in it, but the people who appear here all have imperial tools, which is enough for Hiiragi.
There are a total of five people in the field of vision, Tazmi, Red Hitomi, Leonay, Lubbock, Brand, and Hill and Main are not on the team.
Did you go on another mission?
No matter what, to seize the opportunity now, although there are two less emperor tools, but on the contrary, there are two less powerful enemies.
When they entered the center of the encirclement network and Hiiragi was about to give the order for a surprise attack, the two people in ambush in front of them took the lead in attacking.
Thorn and Zhu Tian jumped out of the darkness, blocking the way, Zhu Tian uprooted the trees on the side and smashed them into the NightRaid in front of them.
"It's the enemy! Move! ”
The first to react were Brand and Crimson Pupil, who took the lead in the way, and Crimson grabbed Tazmi's shirt and ran to the side despite his screams.
Immediately after, Leonay and Lubbo also stopped, and in the face of Thorn and Zhu Tian blocking their way, they did not choose to flee from the side.
With a swing of the spear, the tree was cut in two, and Brand took a stance, looking at the two men in front of him and shouting
"Come on! No matter what kind of enemy it is, my spear will surely defeat it! ”
"Big brother is so handsome!"
"Of course, Tazmi!"
Hiiragi also sighed, thinking that the perfect time for cooperation was missed like this, and now this side should not act directly.
Just when Hiiragi was thinking this, Ma Tou and Suzuka had already jumped out.
"Nan, it's on!"
Don't call me by name!
These people, the four Rakshasa ghosts, have no intention of hearing their own words at all!
They're looking forward to the battle more than the mission.
"Got it!"
He stomped on the trunk of the tree, and then the recoil swooped down on Leonay on the right.
The horse's clenched fist smashed straight down.
"What a pity! I've been on the fence since your teammates showed up! ”
The intersecting opaque silk threads wrapped around the horse's arm, and the whole person was intercepted and stopped in the air.
"Uh-oh! Is this the Emperor?! ”
"Be careful, idiot."
Suzuka kicked Lubbock, who had to retreat and let go of his horse's head.
The people of NightRaid leaned together to face the enemies that appeared in front and behind, and Red Hitomi pulled out his long sword-shaped imperial tool from the crowd.
"The Minister's lackey?"
The cold light of the blade flickered, and the expressionless red pupils had completely entered the combat state.
"Kill you."
The big battle is about to break out, and Hiiragi, who is hidden in the dark, can no longer find his rhythm.
Originally, it was planned to take away at least one imperial tool through a surprise attack at this time, but now it has completely become a head-on conflict, which is not the same as imagined.
"Isn't there another person here?"
Suddenly, Leonay's voice sounded behind her, and her right hand, with its sharp nails, was blocked by her weapon and slashed towards Hiiragi.
As he turned, he raised his right hand, and the blade-like nails rubbed against the surface of the armor, and the flames exploded, and Hiiragi immediately kicked Leonay and pulled away.
Looking around, Hiiragi shrugged helplessly, one-on-one combat was not conducive to his own performance at all.
"Tazmi! Don't show mercy to the enemy! ”
"Yes, yes!"
The one who pulled the fight apart was Brand.
"You're the minister's lackeys, aren't you?"
"No, we're your Grim Reaper! NightRaid! ”
Thorn shook his body and suddenly accelerated, and the two of them instantly narrowed the distance, and the wind generated by the fight shook the leaves around them.
"You don't have time to see other people! Penis! ”
It's Leonay!
Beastly, she nimbly shuttled between the trees, and Hiiragi guessed the direction of her attack, and the next moment jumped to the left.
Bang!
The ground shattered, and Leonay appeared on the trunk of a nearby tree.
"Very keen, it's similar to Tazmi, how do you know about this path?"
"I can predict the future."
Hiiragi wiped the blood off his face, cut open the slender slit, and stopped bleeding.
"Really, I don't care."
The front is good!
