Chapter 691: The Two Sides Converge
Saint Seiyas are senseless heroes on the battlefield, who can drag countless enemies on their own, and can face thousands of troops without wavering. But the most heroic warrior on the battlefield does not mean that he is omnipotent, just as a warrior cannot be used as a spy, and an assassin hidden in the darkness cannot appear on the battlefield in the open.
Sneaking into the prison to rob and save people, whether it was Caludia or Elcid, his face was bitter, and even Filine on the side felt that it was too difficult for a strong man.
Prison robbery is also a covert operation, no matter in the powerful warriors, you can't rush straight into the prison, maybe the person hasn't been found yet, and the person who should have been rescued was killed by the jailer in advance. Of course, it is also necessary to rescue the head of the Guardian Knights of Haidai, otherwise a knight order will be scattered without the leadership of the leader, not to mention that this knight group is still Haidai's cronies, without their assistance, it will be difficult to effectively control the royal capital of the Zegus Kingdom when the plan is launched.
"In this matter, let me contact the Holy Capital and send someone again. Felin said with a sigh.
"Miss Felin, Pernlius has designated His Excellency Elcid to go there, and he has made it clear that he will not let you participate┉┉" Haidai muttered quietly.
Knowing that the other party clearly said that she didn't want to participate in herself, Fei Lin finally couldn't help frowning a little, although the identity of Perenlius is indeed extraordinary, but after all, he is a person who belongs to the Holy See, as a hostile religious force, he ran to his own side of the territory so arrogantly, not to mention, but also with a commanding attitude, is this a little too arrogant.
Elcid also felt that it was inappropriate and said: "Princess Haidai, we are not assassins and spies, and we are afraid that it is difficult to be competent for this kind of task that requires concealment. ”
"Your Excellency Elcid~ Actually, I also mentioned this to Perenlius, but the other party still insists that you go. ”
"Why?"
"I don't know, but Perenlius has entrusted me to tell you. Just where you go, you'll understand. ”
Hai Dai is also very helpless, because Perenlius is already the main initiator and person in charge of the plan unconsciously, whenever she faces this wise man, Hai Dai finds that her momentum is always unconsciously lost to the other party, Fei Lin once reminded herself not to use and rely on the power of Perenlius too much, in fact, how could she think of using him. In front of Perenlius, he seemed to be gazing at a great being of a higher dimension, and all he had in his heart was sincere fear and awe.
Haydai even wants to get Philin and Purenlius to negotiate if she can, but both sides have a tacit understanding that they are unwilling to break their relationship.
Elcid was a little helpless, since he and his four companions had to get involved in this troubled water, now they had to go all the way to the end, and there is also a point that Elcid also cares a little about the so-called 'go and understand', Pernelius is a very peculiar man, although powerful and mysterious, but not the kind of person with evil thoughts, Elcid does not think that he is the kind of person who can calculate himself.
Haydai had someone get information about the prison for Elcid. It was a very heavily guarded prison used by the Zegus Kingdom to hold felons, and the biggest feature of this prison was that it was built in the middle of the lake, and only ships docked when supplies were delivered and new prisoners were escorted over every week, and even if the prisoners escaped from the prison and faced the lake, they did not dare to swim and escape without permission, because in the deep water around the center of the lake inhabited a kind of piranha, anyone who went into the water would be attacked, and it only took less than five minutes for these piranhas to gnaw a living person into a pile of bones。
"What a great place!"
Caludia leaned back in her chair and waved her hand: "So how do we get to the island, and how do we escape even if we rescue people after we get to the island?" ”
"I can have someone take care of arranging for you to go ashore in the ship carrying supplies. It's just that after I went ashore, I really didn't know about the inner workings of the prison. ”
Haidai is indeed a bit nerve-wracking. He never thought of robbing the prison when he was fighting for power with his brother and nobles, and it was impossible for the intelligence network to collect the internal structure of a prison, and this matter was originally rushed to the shelves, although it was determined that Athena was sent to that prison and imprisoned, but it is unknown where it was kept, and the prison is so big that it is estimated that it will take a lot of time to find someone without accurate information.
"I'm going to talk to Purenlius. In the end, Elcid still felt that the plan was simply unreliable. Going to a high-security prison to save people without detailed information is a joke.
Haydai made a 'please' gesture and placed the communication wizard in front of Elcid.
However, a few hours later, the five Saint Seiyas had already embarked on the road to the royal capital with the guards of the Blue Bell Territory, and along the way, whether it was Elcid as the Golden Saint Seiya or Olufei as the Silver Saint Seiya, the others all had some doubts on their faces, after contacting Poenlius. The other party's general question to Elcid is still the same sentence, as long as his own side has gone, he will understand?
What does this mean exactly? What is the secret of this prison?
Elcid doesn't know, it was the holy warrior Philin from the Holy Capital who gave Elcid and others some magic scrolls, such as acceleration, invisibility, magic detection and protection, etc., and also specially told everyone some matters, in order to thank the holy warrior for his help, Elcid also generously sent a few bottles of healing potions to the other party, although at first Filine didn't want to accept it, but after Elcid said that it was the grandmaster's concoction, Filine changed her mind.
After more than two days, Ercid and the others finally arrived at the outskirts of the royal capital of the Zegus Kingdom overnight, and the spies in charge of answering quickly led everyone to a liaison station in the intelligence network of Princess Haidai on the surface, but in fact, a liaison station in Princess Haidai's intelligence network, where the Saint Seiya and others who were in a hurry along the way adjusted and rested a little, and then some spies took out some information about the lakeside prison from Manda in the past few days.
Although there is still no detailed information about where Athena is being held, at least this time there is a plan of the prison and the distribution of cells, in order to find out the prison information, Princess Haidai's intelligence officers have taken a lot of effort, but the more they probe these spies, the more they find that there is a certain unspeakable aura coming out of this large prison recently, which is a kind of hair that makes people feel hairy all over the body, which makes people feel frightened. The breath of pain is as if the entire prison is like a huge black hole, which can absorb all the positive feelings of human beings.
"Is it true that the head of the Knights, Athena, was escorted here?" asked Elcid after looking at the construction drawings of the prison for a while.
A tall, thin and capable man in the liaison station nodded and said in a gloomy and cautious tone: "It is completely certain that Mr. Elcid, in fact, the information we have collected has indicated one thing, His Royal Highness the Prince also revealed some rumors after sending His Excellency Athena to this prison, which looks like he deliberately lured us to save people. ”
"In other words, the other party has already arranged manpower there, and is waiting to catch us all. ”
"Yes. The man nodded and stopped talking.
Alubioni shook his head, "It's not a good job. ”
"What is the approximate distance between the shore and the central prison?"
"We have measured it, the nearest one is 600 meters, and the farthest place is more than 700 meters. ”
The spies were very conscientious to find out all the news that could be used in advance, and under the leadership of the spies, Elcid and Alubioni, who pretended to be tourists, quietly circled the lake in a carriage, just like the situation of the spies, the prison located in the center of the lake is indeed not too far from the shore, and it is estimated that some swimmers can swim to it in more than ten minutes, the main reason is that the piranhas in the lake are a big trouble, these piranhas are in groups, once a prey falls into the water, they will swarm up, sometimes even if they are sitting on the boat, the piranhas will jump out of the water to attack the passengers above, resulting in this lakeside not to mention fishermen, even some fishing enthusiasts.
However, when looking at the prison that towered in the middle of the lake like an ancient castle on the shore, Elcid always felt that this prison that seemed to be hundreds of years old gave people an extremely oppressive feeling, whenever he looked at the gray-brown walls and fortresses, it was like looking at the living life, as if he was not a prison but a man-eating monster entrenched in the middle of the lakeside, and his heart could not suppress the feeling of fear and despair.
"There is something wrong with this prison┉┉"
Lowering the curtains, Elcid always felt that it would be better for someone from the Holy Capital to come here to carry out a rescue mission than his own group, and if he really knew some secrets of this prison, then he shouldn't know that he should choose the people on that side to act.
Why is it your own group?
Just as Elcid was lost in thought again, a voice suddenly sounded in his head.
Suddenly, Elcid stood up and ordered the attendant to stop the carriage and let the other party return to the liaison station first, Elcid and Alubioni immediately followed the prompts of the voice and walked towards a threshing floor, and on the side of the threshing floor, Alexis, the white dragon guard, slowly appeared and beckoned to Elcid.
"Hello, Lord Elcid. "Although she is a dragon, Alexis, who was born from the summoning system, is instinctively obedient, even in the face of Elcid as a 'mortal'.
"I'm glad to see a companion in the distance, is there anything wrong? Elcid nodded, and replied without the slightest hint of the white dragon guard's respectful attitude. (To be continued.) )
