Chapter 386: Into the Forest
Just when Cherus and the others showed their strength and almost shocked the eyes of the people of the major mercenary groups gathered, they were in a gloomy little bar in the adventurer's town. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There was no other light in the room except for the magic guide lamp for lighting at the front desk of the bar, and the three people in the room were sitting side by side at the front desk, each holding a glass of presumably some kind of alcohol, drinking silently by the only light at the front desk, which was not very bright.
Suddenly, the black-haired young man sitting in the middle had a flat black stone in his hand, and shiny text veins appeared.
"Gurney, here's the news. ”
King Kong, who was sitting on Gurney's left side and could see the message on the communication stone, reminded him loudly, but obviously he was doing too much, and Gurney, who had been paying attention to his hand, didn't need to be reminded, and even found the words on the stone faster than King Kong.
“...... Uncle Green, King Kong, there is a message from the inside line that we have bought, and the eight elite squads of the major mercenary groups have been assembled and are about to enter the forest. ”
Green, who was sitting on the other side of Gurney, nodded.
"Do you know that each of the eight squads will be responsible for searching in which areas in which directions?"
"It's a pity that the eyeliner we bought is not very high in the alliance formed by those mercenaries temporarily, he only heard that the Silver Wing mercenary group and the large mercenary group he is in seem to be exploring the area adjacent to each other, and the area facing west after entering the forest from the entrance they set out from, and he has no idea the route of the rest of the team. ”
"It doesn't matter, the Warcraft Forest is still the territory of Warcraft after all, and since Sister-in-law Tias's ability can now cover most of the Warcraft in the forest, it won't be difficult to find out these sneaking rats out of the forest. ”
With that, Green raised his hand to take the rest of the wine from the glass in his hand into his stomach, and then stood up from his seat at the front desk.
"Alright, Gurney, King Kong, we should go too, and if we run into something tricky, we can also help Brother Ryan and Sister-in-law Tias...... Gurney?"
Green looked at the black-haired young man with some strange eyes, as he and King Kong had already stood up and were about to leave, but Gurney seemed to be looking at the communication stone in his hand in a somewhat dazed manner.
"Gurney, what's wrong?
"Huh...... Well, sort of. ”
Gurney's face was a little strange, his eyes were full of doubt, and at the same time, he could see a slight flash of anger.
"Just now, there was a report from the eyeliner, saying that the members of the elite squads of the other major mercenary groups were the same as the ones he had found before, and there were only two sixth-order powerhouses at most, but the last to join the goblin tail mercenary squad that was originally controversial because of the lack of personnel, the team members sent out today were a little ...... Unexpected. ”
"Unexpected?" because the lights were a little dim, Green didn't notice the momentary killing intent in Gurney's eyes, "What do you say? That team is strong?"
“...... Well, it's strong, more than one level stronger than the strongest squad we expected a single mercenary group to be able to send. According to that eyeliner, there are a total of nine people in the team of that demon tail squad, among which there are five Dou Qi masters on the bright side, and in addition to two five-star magicians, they should play a role no less than that of a sixth-order powerhouse in the case of group battle. ”
Green couldn't help but whistle, he also hid his identity and ran a small mercenary group in Ziyougang, five Dou Qi Masters plus two five-star magicians...... This lineup is estimated to be impossible even for many large-scale mercenary groups, that is, those top mercenary groups may have such a background.
Fairy Tail, a mercenary group that has only grown from small to medium-sized in recent years, and was unknown before that, where did he find so many masters?
"Although I had long expected that these mercenary groups might be able to conceal these ordinary people in the town, they would never be able to keep them secret from those super forces on the mainland, but I didn't expect that any super force would reach out so quickly......
After being the leader of the mercenary group for almost ten years, Green knows very well that even those top mercenary groups with such a family background will not be able to take out all of them in such a dangerous secret operation, so it is very likely that these masters who suddenly appeared in this demon tail squad are not mercenaries at all, but people who secretly infiltrated by a super force on the mainland under the guise of the little-known small mercenary group, and since other large mercenary groups can let these people in, it is obvious that they should also acquiesce to this big force to participate in this exploration。
Hearing Green's analytical words, King Kong, who was on the side, nodded with deep reason.
Gurney moved his lips, looking at Green, who was quickly analyzing the information with his experience and wisdom, as if he wanted to say something, but soon the black-haired young man seemed to think of something and made some kind of decision, and closed his mouth to show a look of approval of Green's reasoning.
"It's Uncle Green, who guessed the truth so quickly. ”
"Oh, I heard you say that, you seem to have some understanding of the appearance of those masters of that demon tail team?"
"Well," Gurney nodded, "According to the intelligence, in addition to the original five members of the Demon Tail Squad, three of the four new people who appeared were little girls who didn't look to be more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and there were even two girls from the wolf clan...... At such a young age, she has the strength of a fighting spirit master and is a wolf girl, there are definitely not too many people with such characteristics on the whole continent, and it happens that there is such a person in my impression.
"Uncle Green, you also know that some time ago we were in Loris with Uncle Vincent to lead us in the assassination of the Holy Maiden of Solan. Of course, the failure of that plan was due to the fact that we underestimated the protection measures around the Holy Maiden, but in fact, there was another important reason, that is, on the eve of the plan, our identity was discovered and revealed, and that person was a wolf girl who was only 14 years old but had a sixth-order strength demon martial dual cultivation.
"That wolf girl is ostensibly a wolf student at Loris National College, but in fact her identity is very suspicious of us afterwards. Because her age and strength are completely disproportionate, it is obvious that she may have been born by some big forces with some secret techniques, and she is obviously a student of Loris Academy, but she has a good relationship with the second alternate saint and the alternate flame saint son of the Solan Church, and has the right to hinder our assassination operations several times in the plan, we suspect that the girl is very likely to be a secret chess piece buried by the Solan Church in Loris, and her wolf identity and appearance are likely to be caused by the secret techniques of the Solan Church as well as her strength。 ”
Gurney said as he secretly cast a color on King Kong beside Grimm, although King Kong was a little puzzled at first why Gurney explained the identity of the wolf girl who deceived Xingxi that they had met in Loris before, but after thinking about it, thinking of the hatred in the heart of the Solan Church by the person next to them at this moment, King Kong suddenly realized a little, so he silently let Gurney play.
Sure enough, Green's eyes, who heard the words "Solan Church's Dark Chess", were suddenly a little different from before.
"You mean, one of the few unknown masters who appeared in the Demon Tail Team is likely to be the secret chess agent of the Solan Church that you met when you were executing the plan in Loris before?"
Gurney smiled.
"I'm only judging my guess based on the character characteristics provided by eyeliner, and I don't know if it's accurate. ”
Green nodded thoughtfully.
“...... In any case, since we know that the people of the Solan Church may have already explored this place, we should be more cautious this time...... The rest of the mercenary squads are just that, the mercenary squad called Fairy Tail, must not let them leave the forest alive. ”
"Understood. ”
Gurney replied with a smile.
...... Damn wolf girl, I don't know how you managed to show up in our plan so appropriately every time, but this time I swear in the name of Nolan that I will never give you another chance to live.
This time, the plan must definitely be successful...... Revenge is at hand, and I will never let anyone mess with it.

In the midst of the Warcraft Forest.
After seeing the tip of the iceberg of the strength shown by the four of them, the mercenaries present no longer had any objection to Lucy finding such a few foreign aid that looked a little unreliable on the outside.
Just kidding, three Dou Qi masters and a five-star mage, two of them are even the strongest under the law that has reached the peak of Dou Qi, plus the original five people of the Demon Tail Squad, if such a lineup is placed in the usual Warcraft Forest environment, even if it is to go to the innermost area of the Warcraft Forest, as long as the luck is not bad enough to provoke those powerful Warcraft who can turn into people, then they can still come and go freely and retreat.
In this way, all the members arrived, because of the strong strength of the demon tail squad to kill all the other teams present in seconds, the leaders of these major mercenary groups and even the top mercenary groups who usually boasted of being great did not have any desire to talk nonsense, and after simply explaining a few words to their own teams, the eight teams entered the forest according to the predetermined division of labor route, and set off cautiously separately.
According to the previous division of labor, Lucy's exploration route is to go along a small stream on the easternmost side, at least to go deep into a small hill near the outer boundary of the forest and collect information along the way, this part of the information should be shared with everyone when they go back, which is the basic condition for the cooperation of the eight teams, and after that, if they have the ability to continue to go deep into the middle of the forest or even the inner region, and explore any secrets or benefits, then it will be regarded as the private gain of the team's own ability.
After entering the forest and walking a short distance, after confirming that the surrounding teams that entered the forest at the same time had already opened a relatively long distance, the nine-person team immediately rearranged according to the formation that had been discussed outside the forest before.
Cheruth was at the front, Natsu and Elusa were on guard on both sides, in the middle were Gray, Lucy, Wendy and Nanoha who were in charge of medium and long-range support, and the important task of supporting any point in front of the team at the end of the line and if necessary was in charge of Grey Wind and Selman were in charge.
There was no disagreement that Cheruth and Grey Wind, two people who were familiar with the Beast Forest as if they were in their own garden (and in fact they were basically the case), were in charge of the two most important positions in the front and rear, but Selman's assignment was rather speechless.
As the current strongest person in the team, even if Selman is not familiar with the Warcraft Forest and is not suitable to replace Cheruth as a striker, at least he should not break off with Gray Wind, the second strongest person in the team, but should go to the central position to be with you remotely, so that it is more convenient to protect the distance and support the front and back, left and right. However, the red-haired uncle didn't know why he insisted on breaking off with Gray Wind, and he really said that the team was just such a little person, and with his strength, it was no problem to support wherever he wanted.
With Selman's strength, there is nothing wrong with saying this, and it can be seen that Selman just wants to stay with Gray Wind at all, and everyone finally did not object too much to anything, but gave the choice to the party Gray Wind, and surprisingly, Gray Wind actually agreed to this request.
Could it be that Uncle Selman's persistent lolicon soul has finally succeeded in touching Miss Greywind's loli's heart?
Looking at the gossip eyes of everyone, Rao is always calm and serious Gray Wind couldn't help but be a little slight, ignoring a certain wolf girl in the contract link, Sister Gray Wind, are you really tempted by that uncle, don't you love me, do you want to be each other's angels, woo woo A series of rumors that made her not know how to answer, Sister Wolf said a word to everyone very seriously.
“...... Metamorphosis is very strong, so it's better for the Overseer to be close to some of them. ”
#如此有道理我们竟无言以对#
As a result, with the exception of a "very powerful pervert" who received a sympathetic blow from Greywind and caused tons of damage, the rest of the people did not dispute Greywind's decision.
The team was led by Cheruth, a striker who was familiar with the forest terrain, and the progress along the way was very smooth. Although the danger of the monsters is increased, because they are not as scattered as usual, as long as you have the patience to avoid their patrol routes, the danger encountered by both sides is minimized.
Cheruth has lived in the forest for ten years, and has the ability to explore the forest comparable to those of the most experienced Warcraft hunters, even if she has not seen any traces of Warcraft, she can also detect and analyze some useful information from some clues in the forest at the first time and make some targeted adjustments to the forward route accordingly, with her as the leader of the local snake, the team rushed for five or six minutes at a fairly fast speed, and did not encounter a low-level Warcraft patrol patrolling the periphery.
Seeing his sister's reassuring performance, Gray Wind, who was at the end of the formation, was relieved, and then looked at Selman, who had been quietly following him.
“...... Okay, come on, what the hell are you trying to tell me?" )
