Chapter 25: Crisis Decision [Ask for Recommendation]
At the beginning of the operation, such casualties were encountered.
Just when the situation took a turn for the worse, the team actually broke out in discord.
"Shut up!" Quest Starlight, as the captain of this operation, although someone insulted his family, but this is not the time to argue on such an occasion.
The glory of a family is not something that can be humiliated by others with a few words. The glory of a family is not something that can be exchanged for three or two sentences. It takes generations of people to fight it back with their lives.
As an assassin with a lifespan of more than 200 years, Quest has already managed to be as calm as water!
"Let's go, now the fate of humanity is up to us!" said Autumn Red Ghost Shadow after glancing at Maria's hideout!
As soon as Na'an's mother's words fell, a badly injured griffin fell directly from the sky to the crowd, and even the trunk of the adult's body was shattered. And along with the griffon, there was also the corpse of a human knight. The corpses of the soldiers were strewn with feathered arrows fired by orcs. The intensity of the air battle can be seen from the arrows all over the body, the 50 horsemen of the human warriors are like a leaf in autumn, and the air cavalry army of the orcs is like a dark cloud. Under the chaotic arrows, no one can stop the momentum of this dark cloud!
"Tim in front of the road, Maria behind the tail! Two hours later, take turns and set off!" 50 horsemen are already using their lives to defend the honor of their air cavalry, and Queth, as the captain of the assassin squad, began to use the power of the captain to give orders to everyone! This journey is destined to die for nine lives. Although the road ahead was bumpy, the people had already made a military order in front of the kings. They want to use the success of this operation to defend the honor that the family has won for thousands of years. After all, when the kings came to the door, it was an affirmation of the honor of the Assassin family. It was in recognition of this honor that the kings put the fate of humans and dwarves in the hands of a few men.
The two people who were still arguing just now did not resist or perfunctory when they heard the captain's order, but quickly entered their combat posts. A person who understands what 'obedience' means is a good warrior. This was also one of the necessary conditions for them to be selected for this mission.
"Wang, Wang, Wang!" But just when a few people had just entered the battle squad mode, preparing to sneak through the orc warning zone. Deep in the woods around them, there was a burst of dog barking.
In the dark, the best sentinel in the air is Batrider. Because they come with their own ultrasonic radar. At night, on the ground, the best thing to be on guard is the dog, which is facing the Assassins who will be invisible, and the dog's sense of smell will allow the orcs to easily capture the Assassins hiding in the shadows.
"The air is heavily guarded, and the ground is heavily defended! If the orcs say that hundreds of air cavalry are just coincidentally stationed here. Or, the siege crossbow on the ground happened to pass by the orc legion during its transition. Then there will be no excuse for this group of wild dogs!"
"Even if the orcs grasp the direction of our actions, we will complete this mission. For the sake of humanity, for the honor of our great Assassin families, and for the trust of the kings!Now I order, disperse the assault, good luck and take care!" Quest plunged into the woods and ran in the direction where the dogs barked the loudest.
"Father!" Tim Starlight never expected that his father would want to go alone to stop this group of orc hounds. It's just buying time for everyone to evacuate!
As she watched the half-elf rush in the direction of the most dogs, Maria Kalas felt how sarcastic the 'bastard' had just been.
Among the humans and dwarves, many people look down on the half-elves, many believe that they have defiled the human bloodline, including Maria, but today she really saw why the Starlight family was able to gain a foothold in human society. They don't just rely on the abilities they inherited from the elves, they also have the wisdom of their families.
"I'll help him, you guys quickly find the weak point of the orc defense to break through!" Maria gritted her teeth and suddenly pulled out her dagger from her left and right waists. After jumping lightly and jumping on the branches, a few ups and downs caught up with Quith in front.
Watching Maria deftly fall to his side, Quest was a little surprised. The person who caught up was not his own son, but a woman who was still scolding the half-elf as a mongrel just now.
However, just as a helpless smile appeared on the corner of Quest's mouth, Tim Starlight's figure flashed and appeared on Quest's left.
Although his son didn't catch up with him at the first time, Quisi felt a little disappointed. But when his son followed, he was now full of worry. As a parent, there are people who want their children to be in danger.
However, in this case, it is not the time to reason and lay out the facts. Since father and son are on the same scene, let these green-skinned orcs see the strength of the Starlight family.
Originally, this operation was only a team of 5. However, just before leaving, the patriarch of the Twin Blades clan actually sent Naan's father, Raywen Twin Blades, to send him as well.
As a married couple who have been married for 20 years, Qiu Hong knows that Thunder Pattern's strength is not qualified to carry out such an action at all. He went on the road together this time, but he was just worried about his own safety. It's just that she can't figure out how the patriarch could send him over so hastily for such an important operation. Not to mention the strength of the other assassins involved in the operation, as a father, he can't even beat his own daughter. Although Naan is very good, she is only a little talented among the younger generation.
"You know the danger of this operation, and you still have to follow it desperately. Aren't you afraid that your daughter will lose her parents in a day? If you don't come with me, I'll die today. At least my daughter still has you. Qiu Hong thought that she hadn't seen her daughter for more than two years, and now she thought about it with regret. As a woman of the Assassin family, she had no right to choose her own marriage from the moment she was born. When she first gave birth to Na'an, she should have listened to her sister and sent her to live in an ordinary family.
Although Na'an eventually escaped from the family, even when the family guards chased and intercepted her, Qiu Hong secretly attacked the secret guards. But it is conceivable that in the not-too-distant future, Naan will eventually be captured to fulfill the mission entrusted to her by her family.
Thinking of these, Qiu Hong's heart felt sour as a mother.
You can't decide for her happiness, you can't bless your daughter at the wedding, you can't watch her get married, and you can't even listen to her call her mother again.
Suddenly, Qiuhong was a little envious of her husband. From just learning to walk to leaving the family to find her own life, Na'an has grown up with him.
"Rest assured, none of us will die. I'll take you back safely!" As a husband, Lei Wen doesn't talk much on weekdays. Always silently doing what you should do. Laundry, cooking, and even growing up with his baby daughter as a child, he did it all single-handedly.
But today he said something completely different from his usual words.
Qiu Hong suddenly felt a little unaware of her husband.
"Let's disperse and break out!" "Hagi Twin Blades is a clansman born on the same day as Thunder Pattern Twin Blades. His fate is completely different from that of Thunder Stripe, and he is now a strong contender for the next generation of patriarchs. If it weren't for the presence of Quis, he would have been the captain of the operation.
Although Ye Mu didn't know why the patriarch sent Thunder Pattern with him, but in the current situation, it didn't matter if he thought about it anymore. Even, having more of him is not necessarily not one more chance to break through and succeed. Hopefully they'll all make it back alive!
Ignoring the couple, Ye Mu carefully discerned the voice and disappeared.
"Follow me, I'll send you out. Qiu Hong had never spoken to her husband in such a tone. Once upon a time, she was the top disciple of the younger generation of the Ghost Shadow Family. But because of the failure of a mission, she reluctantly married an unknown marginal disciple of the Twin Blades family.
On this planet, in a world where force is everything. No woman dreams of a mansion or a car, they fantasize about their hero wearing a golden armor and stepping on colorful clouds to marry her. And a woman like Qiuhong Ghost is no exception, with a first-class and arrogant character, she is naturally unwilling to be mediocre in her life.
But fate played a big joke on her, and she had never given Lei Wen a smile in so many years, even if it was false.
However, today, when this husband, who has only promised all his life, suddenly acts like a hero, saying that he wants to take himself back safely.
At this moment, this top female assassin of the human race, who had already entered middle age, suddenly had red circles in her eyes like a girl.
"No matter what, I'll protect you and kill you. Daughter can't live without you!" Qiu Hong said very emotionally.
Seeing that his wife suddenly looked like a little woman, Lei Wen didn't have much expression on her face. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he said calmly: "If you break in, none of us will be able to leave." Listen to the sound, I don't know how many hounds there are around. It is clear that the opponent is ready. If I were an orc legion, I would have prepared 'The Queen's Temptation'. After all, those powders are the most effective against us. ”
Hearing the 'Queen's Temptation', Qiu Hong's face changed drastically. It reminded her of the failed mission 20 years ago.
Thunder Lane knew about his wife's knot, but he didn't say anything more, and quickly changed the subject.
"I'm afraid it's impossible for us to pass through here, but it doesn't seem to be a problem to return to the Great Wall defense line safely! As the saying goes, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as we capture the commander of the orcs this time, I believe we still have a chance to live!"
Listening to her husband's explanation, it seemed that this was the only way to go.
He's so strange today, is this still the Thunder Pattern Double Blade that people call the Nest Waste?
