Chapter Eighty-One: The Nightingale of the Black Flag

It's no wonder that this agglomeration is the most suitable location for a satellite city, as it sits on a hillside surrounded by rivers and is surrounded by water on three sides, with the remaining side being steep and difficult to defend.

Because of this, even though this place has been attacked by the Demon Beast herd since early in the morning, the Black Flag still firmly guarded the pass and did not let the gathering place fall.

Seeing that the gathering place on the hillside was still intact, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Cynthia opened the way, and the convoy crushed all the demonic beasts in the way and rushed towards the destination.

The advance of the convoy also attracted the attention of the black flag, and the head of the watchtower in the gathering place was swaying, Roy stood on the roof of the carriage and waved his hand, and in a few moments, obstacles such as horses and wooden stakes were removed, and the main gate was opened.

Gawain and Nightingale greeted the mercenaries with black flags from the gathering place.

Their faces were filled with exhaustion, and the all-night assault of the Monster tide kept their spirits tense at all times, but after seeing Roy and the others, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While it wasn't clear how Roy had come to their aid within a day of the Monster Tide, now was not the time to ask about it.

"Lord Cynthia, why are you here?"

Gao Wen was surprised, he knew Cynthia, the deputy head of the Holy Knights was a real eighth-order holy knight, with her, the gathering place would definitely be fine.

At the same time, I was puzzled by this, how could I deign to come to the wilderness as the other party?

"We're here on a mission in the wilderness."

Cynthia walked over, "The C4 Colony is an important part of the satellite program, and I'm going to stick to it and make sure it's safe."

"By the way, what about your Black Flag Commander? I have something to talk to her. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the gathering place fell into an eerie silence.

Cynthia frowned, she remembered that the information said that the leader of the Black Flag was a inheritor of a high rank, so it was impossible for him to die in the Warcraft tide so quickly, right?

Gawain hesitated for a moment: "Hitomi En took a large army to attack the Northern Crow last night, and she hasn't come back yet......"

"What!" Everyone was shocked.

"Because the Northern Crows insist on provoking a battle, they have lost their hearts in the wilderness, and many gathering places are secretly supporting us, and they have not been able to attack for a long time."

Gawain's face was ugly, "Later, we received information that last night the Northern Crow was going to send most of the men and horses to clear out the other forces that have been supporting us in this area.

So Hitomi made a quick decision, preparing to take advantage of the departure of the Northern Crow's army to sneak up on their gathering place and raid their hometown.

"But I didn't expect that last night, the tide of demonic beasts struck, and Hitomi and the large army lost contact."

Roy rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache: "This is too unfortunate, I think they probably encountered the Warcraft tide." ”

Hitomi is a fifth-order hunter, and according to common sense, the fierce beasts and demonic beasts that infest within the scope of Area C will not be her opponent at all.

But with the arrival of the tide of demonic beasts, many high-level beasts such as giant elephants have emerged from the depths of the wilderness, unless it is a truly strong person like Cynthia, even the inheritor will never be able to resist the attack of the demonic beast group.

Nightingale listened silently to the conversation between Gawain and Cynthia, she knew that with such a powerful helper, there should be no more problems in the gathering place, so she turned her head and shouted to the remaining mercenaries in the gathering place:

"Everyone prepare, let's set off immediately, search and rescue team leader!"

Although Nightingale is young, her qualifications are the oldest in the Black Flag Mercenary Regiment, and she is usually very close to Hitomi En and gets along well with everyone, and she is also an inheritor.

When Head Hitomi and Deputy Head Bob leave, everyone will follow her instructions.

Previously, the horde of demonic beasts surrounded the entire gathering place, making it impossible for her to go out to support, but now that the demonic beasts around the gathering place were also killed by Cynthia who came all the way, she immediately organized the rest of the people and horses to prepare to start a search and rescue.

Just as she was hurriedly about to turn around and leave, a familiar voice came from behind her:

"Liz, where are you going?"

Jiang Qiyi was just stopping the carriage, so she was a step late, and when she saw that the nightingale was actually planning to leave the gathering place, she couldn't help but stop her anxiously.

"There are more and more demonic beasts pouring in from the depths of the wilderness, and when we came, we even met high-level demonic beasts on the road!

"This is not something we can interfere in now, now that the beast disaster is so serious, the Sidenia side will definitely not sit idly by, the sentinel's rescue will arrive soon, let's stay here and guard the gathering place!"

Nightingale's departing figure paused slightly, she turned her head, and said softly, "It will be there soon...... When will that arrive? ”

Her hand ran over her left arm, where a strip of black cloth was tied.

"The head of the regiment is our backbone, without her, there would be no me, no black flag, and no this gathering place, we must save her, it is not a question of whether we can do it, but whether we can do it or not."

She looked in Jiang Yiyi's direction, "Classmate Yiyi, I didn't expect to meet you here, I'm really happy."

"But in the wilderness, please don't call me Leeds, I have another name.

"I am the nightingale of the Black Flag, Sister Hitomi is my family, and the large army that followed Sister Hitomi is also my family, I can't imagine life without them.

"So, I have to go. Even if only the body is brought back, even if it is never returned. ”

After saying this, the nightingale took another step, Jiang Qiyu clenched his fists, and shouted behind her: "In that case, don't call me classmate Yiyi!"

"I'm here as a researcher to investigate and recover the potions of the Northern Crow Mercenary Regiment. If you're going to search near the crow colony, I'll go with you! ”

Nightingale turned back abruptly: "You are not allowed to follow!" …… The gathering place is also understaffed, and we don't have to worry about leaving here without you guarding it! ”

Of course, she understands how dangerous it is in the wilderness, so she doesn't want to involve Jiang Yiyi as well.

"Don't worry about the safety of the gathering place."

It was Cynthia who spoke, and she pointed to the carriage, "Open up the stuff here, reinforcements will be here soon." ”

Roy and Arya teamed up to lift the "supplies" off the wagon.

Although Roy had been sitting in the carriage, the supplies were well sealed in the box, and he didn't know what was inside.

Everyone worked together to open the box, and instead of imaginary weapons and food supplies, they saw a pile of precision parts engraved with magic circles and inlaid with spiritual power mechanisms.

"It's ......"

Jiang Yan looked at it fixedly, and said in a lost voice, "This is a temporary teleportation point!" ”

In Sidney, the two representative achievements of space transmission technology and space storage technology are the teleportation point and the space ring.

Because of their strategic significance, the distribution and production of these two items have always been strictly controlled, and even in the hands of the Temple Family, these two items are rare.

I didn't expect Klein to be willing to spend so much money.

This is the most basic one-way temporary teleportation point, which is divided into a pair of entrances and exits, and they have the exit in their hands.

Once assembled, and before the waypoint runs out of energy, Sidney's reinforcements can be teleported directly through the portal waypoint.

With Jiang Qiyi's help, it didn't take much time to set up the teleportation point, and as a portal was pieced together and connected to an energy supply device, the surface of the portal rippled like ripples.

Then, a pitch-black vortex began to rotate slowly on the surface of the portal in a clockwise direction.

"When the exit portal is set up, there will be a sense on the other side of the entrance."

Jiang Zhen said, "Since Crane has brought the waypoint, he must have been prepared, and it won't be long before Sidney's reinforcements will come from the waypoint, and this gathering place will become the safest place in the wilderness."

"Now...... Nightingale, can I go with you? ”

"And us." Arya also spoke, "The Holy Knights' mission is to protect Researcher Jiang's safety in the wilderness, and we will go with you." ”

Roy and Cynthia didn't speak, but nodded in the same way.

Nightingale looked in the direction of everyone in a daze, and although she couldn't see everyone's faces and expressions clearly, she could feel the power contained in these words.

She bowed deeply to everyone, her voice slightly choked: "Thank you for your help, no matter what the result is, I and all the people of Black Flag will never forget your kindness today!" ”

Then, the nightingale raised her head, her face had returned to normal, and she quickly said to Gawain: "In that case, Mr. Gawain, when we go out to search and rescue, I will trouble you and the rest of your brothers to stay here and guard the house."

"When reinforcements arrive, please let them know that we went to D3 where the Northern Crow is. In addition, the disaster of the Demon Beast Tide is still expanding, so please hurry to help and save the others in the wilderness. ”

"I understand." Gawain nodded calmly.

Now that the wilderness is full of demonic beasts, if there is a choice, they ordinary people should naturally stay in the gathering place and wait for the support of the inheritors.

Roy and the others were quickly ready to go, and everyone rode to the northern crow gathering place, and Gawain stood on the lookout and waved at them.

"Stay safe and have a nice trip!"

Arya turned her head in the saddle, placed her right fist on her left chest, and gave him a knightly salute without a word.

Then, their figures disappeared into the woods, and Gawain also returned the salute with emotion.

As ordinary people, they used to only do patrol or guard work in the Knights, and Arya's appearance of galloping horses in military uniforms was the biggest dream he and Ivey had ever had.

"Arya, we're so proud of you."

……

The clock ticked to yesterday, January 7th, at night.

Near the Northern Crow D3 Gathering Area.

On a hillside not far away, Hitomi held a telescope, and in his field of vision, a group of people and horses were setting off from the Northern Crow Gathering Ground and rushing to the north.

According to the information she knows, this evening, the Northern Crow intends to make a move against the D7 gathering.

The D7 Gathering was created by a dungeon-born mercenary group, so it is considered a "pro-Black Flag faction". Aside from Black Flag's C4 Colony, this is the closest gathering place to the Northern Crow.

After the Northern Crow attacked Black Flag several times to no avail, it seemed that he was planning to find a soft persimmon to pinch and take the other gathering places first.

"As the intelligence says."

Hitomi put down her binoculars, "Tell the brothers to get ready, I'm going to dive in." ”

Although the D3 Gathering is not as blessed as their C4 Gathering Place, it is usually built on a low hill, but the fortifications are very well built, and it is undoubtedly unwise to rush into it.

They also did not have large siege equipment.

Therefore, in the predetermined plan, Hitomi En will personally infiltrate the gathering place, kill the guard at the gate, and then open the gate and let the main force in.

The inheritor of the Northern Crow forces is their regimental leader Harrison, a fifth-order priest who is good at commanding and strengthening his mercenaries to fight, so he is nicknamed "General".

As long as you don't alarm him and let him use his enhanced skills, the mercenaries on the periphery are not her enemies.

Biting Wolf and Bob sat next to Hitomi, Bob frowned, and said:

"Commander, are you sure that there are no problems with the informant's intelligence? In case the Northern Crow has already bought him, and then will plan it, wouldn't you be ambushed if you sneak in alone? ”

"There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people."

Hitomi looked at the gathering place not far away and said softly, "Speaking of which, you've met that person too, Peter Bhutto, who originally planned to join us Black Flag. But at that time, the Northern Crow spent a lot of money to recruit people to expand, and he happened to be short of money, so he entered the Northern Crow. ”

"Oh...... The man! ”

Bob nodded, indicating that he was impressed, "Of course I remember him, he became a mercenary at the same time as me." At that time, the Northern Crow also invited me, but I refused.

"I didn't expect his thick eyebrows and big eyes to be our internal response?"

"It's not enough to say that Nei Ying, he was really loyal before, but he was really disappointed in the recent Northern Crow."

Hitomi shook her head, "According to him, Harrison, the leader of the Northern Crows, constantly asks them to destroy the forces of the dungeon, force them to drink that red potion, and force them to carry out various murderous missions.

"In just half a month, most of the people in the mercenary group died because of this. Some people died in the line of duty; Some people die from the side effects of the drug; Others were killed for disobeying Harrison's management.

"Then, they used the funds they didn't know where to recruit people in the city, coaxed newcomers to join the group with high salaries, and then made them drink medicine and use people as consumables......"

"Not everyone is crazy, he can't stand this life anymore, and he doesn't want anyone to die because of it, so he managed to get in touch with me and reveal the news of the Northern Crow's actions to me."

Bob hissed: "Listening to it like this, I can't be sure of the authenticity of the news!" Who knows if he was coerced by Harrison to deliberately pass on false information to us? ”

"He came to see me in person."

Hitomi closed her eyes and recalled the scene, where the hunter's gifted skill "Remembrance" came into play, recreating all the details she had seen at the time.

"I could see his expressions, his movements, and even his breathing, and he didn't look like he was lying. Moreover, he said a word, and I also felt the same way. ”

"What did he say?"

He said......"

Hitomi paused, "'There is no nobler between the dungeons and the people of the city, people are people. So please, Hitomi, teach this to Captain Harrison! ’”
