Chapter 210: The Legendary Cultivator
The two leading figures of the Holy See have such a pessimistic attitude towards this mission, which is probably unimaginable to others.
The chosen members of the Knights Templar and the Knights of the Shepherds, all immersed in the anger of avenging their comrades, enthusiastically signed up for the operation one by one, solemnly bidding farewell to their families, as if this was an ordinary mission, few would think that China would be the place where his bones would be buried.
With the "Dawn Excalibur" and the "Saint of Light" personally out of the army, aren't all the aliens being able to capture them?
The members of the Templar Order, in particular, were unclear about the situation of the shepherds, and did not recognize the strength of Schroeder and the Instructor Knight Paleius, and always felt that their chief knight, Reinhardt, was the best in the world.
Is there anything in the world that the world's best master can't do? Of course not. If there is, then add a "Saint of Light" Lord Nolan, and it should be done.
Unlike the Shepherd Knights, who worked hard every day to follow the ancient ways of knighthood, the knights of the Templar Order did not all fight with cold weapons.
More than half of the 50 knights brought by Reinhardt this time are proficient in various firearms and driving vehicles. Some people are good at explosives, some are good at mixing and using poisons, and some are good at computer technology and are good at information-based operations......
......
In the cabin, members of the Knights Templar and the Knights of the Shepherds sat together, chatting with each other with curiosity.
The Shepherd Knights had been hidden in the shadows, but the Templars were no strangers to them, as the two sometimes worked together on a secret mission.
However, such a large-scale dispatch is rare for them.
"Hey, Rangier! " the blonde peterson waved his hand.
The black-haired and black-eyed Lan Jie looked over and gave him a slightly shy smile.
"Come here, come and sit next to me, there's still a seat here!" Peterson greeted warmly.
Lan Jie hesitated, whispered a word to his companion, and walked towards Peterson.
"Come, come, sit here," Peterson smiled brightly, "I'll introduce you, this is Tom, this is Hampson, both my good brothers." This is Lanjie, who is a shepherd and has been on a mission with me. ”
Tom and Hampson both greeted Ranger in a friendly manner, to which Ranger replied a little shyly.
"Tell me, what have you heard?" asked Peterson, raising his eyebrows and lowering his voice.
Rangier sat down and squirmed uneasily, hearing Peterson's question, his eyes turned red: "I don't know more than you, and I don't even know what the name of the target this time is, only that he killed our chief knight Lord Schroeder and the knight of discipline Lord Palesius, and several good brothers also died at his hands." ”
Petersen raised an eyebrow, "Hey, you're behind this time." I've already inquired, and the target is 'Luo Nan', a Chinese businessman. ”
"Merchant?, an ordinary merchant may not be capable of harming Master Schroeder and Master Palesius," Lan Jie writhed uneasily, "I heard that he may be a 'cultivator'. ”
"What the hell is 'Cultivator,'" Peterson repeated the strange word, "by the way, why do you seem so upset?"
"I'm afraid ......," Ranger said shyly, "I'm afraid the plane will fall." ”
"The Lord will keep us safe. Instead of laughing at him, Petersen comforted. Having carried out missions with Ranger, he clearly knows how terrifying this seemingly harmless big boy is when he gets serious.
"En," Lan Jie nodded gratefully, "'Cultivator', I don't know the specifics, I heard that it is a kind of cultivation system in ancient China, a bit like a hybrid of our knights and magicians, with both powerful physical fighting abilities and the ability to cast various spells. Judging from the legend, the 'cultivator' is extremely powerful, and a high-ranking 'cultivator' can easily defeat the joint efforts of several high-ranking knights. ”
Peterson shrugged: "I thought he was just an ordinary capable person. ”
Lan Jie said seriously: "Ordinary people with abilities cannot defeat Lord Schroeder and Master Palesius. ”
"Where did you hear that?"
"Before leaving, I listened to the seniors discussing, and they inferred from the words they saw in ancient books. ”
Peterson pondered: "If the target this time, 'Luo Nan', is really a legendary 'cultivator', wouldn't we be in big trouble?"
Lan Jie said seriously: "I am ready to dedicate my life to the cause of the Lord at any time. ”
Peterson bowed his head and gestured to a cross: "Hallowed be thy name." Thy kingdom come, and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors. He will not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For all is thine, and the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. ”
Tom, Hampson, and Ranger bowed their heads together and repeated the prayer.
......
In a separate area on the plane, Reinhardt and Nolan, dressed in military uniform, sat opposite each other, playing chess.
"Lord Reinhardt," Nolan said as he captured one of Reinhardt's pawns, "how are you going to carry out this operation?"
"It was too hasty, and to be honest, I haven't really come up with a plan of action. Reinhardt said.
Nolan had a worried face: "With so many people acting together, how to deploy and command is a difficult problem, and logistics supply is a big problem." Moreover, we are going to fight on China's soil, and the attitude of the Chinese government towards the Holy See should be clear. At the slightest change in our movements, someone from China's Ministry of State Security will appear around us and forcibly return us to the Vatican before we even see the target. ”
"That's exactly what I'm worried about, and at the moment we still don't have enough information about the target person, and our knowledge is very limited," Reinhardt said, "so that's what I plan, we get off the plane in China, and after going through the immigration inspection, we first enter the Knights Templar's enterprises in China and lurk, and everyone uses their own cover identity to integrate into the daily life of China, live for a while, and don't attract the attention of the Chinese authorities." ”
Nolan nodded intently.
"At the same time, we pay attention to gathering information about the target, discovering the rules of his daily behavior, formulating a well-thought-out plan of action, and striving to find an opportunity to lay a net of heaven and earth," Reinhardt ate Nolan's queen, "General! Even if we all die in China, we must make that person pay a heavy price!"
