Chapter 53: Infiltrating the Royal City
Soon, however, Lori began to regret her decision. Because the list of special attack teams is down:
Leah Farainne
Rowan Rowant
Jessica Rowrant
Leona Angelica
Alec Beuys
Rebecca Verlsdorf
Karl Verlsdorf
Rebecca
From scouts who find their way to warriors who are skilled in martial arts, to mages who excel at firepower and priests who have the ability to restore gods, this is a luxurious and effortless team. Soon, however, a certain Lori's afterglow caught a familiar name - Isabella Randall VII.
γ......γ
A string of ellipses is Leah's mood at the time.
The princess is going too! Randall's only royal blood has joined the raid! If it's Germain's trap, that'sβreally!!
"I said Isha, are you really not thinking about staying?"
Little Lori asked. Today was the day of departure, and considering that the king and queen might be in bad health, they prepared a sturdy carriage in case of it.
"If I were to say it a few times, I would have the same answer. And I gave you the reason.
First of all, if this is really a trap, and Leah's capture means that we have lost our teleportation and chants, then the royalists will have a hard time winning.
Secondly, this adventure is to save my father and mother, and I have no reason to just sit here and wait for your news.
And ......"
"Alright, alright, I know. Woo......"
I was overwhelmed by the princess's cannon-like momentum. Leah raised her hands and said helplessly.
"Well, let's go, Lord Duke, and Karen. I'll leave it to you at Iron Wing. β
For physical reasons, the already elderly old duke did not join the adventure. On the other hand, Karen needs to command the army, and when the king is rescued, someone from the Iron Wing Castle will need to respond.
"Since the princess has made up her mind, I can only say - I wish you good luck. β
The old duke nodded, during this time, he had tried countless methods of persuasion, but Isabella was stubborn and could not listen to him at all.
"I must come back. Leah!"
Karen looked at little Lori and said.
"Yes, trust me!"
Leah smiled and nodded.
So the carriage carrying this special mission gradually disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the rest of the journey was considered the territory of the royalists, and the next morning, they arrived not far from Randall.
"From here we have to go on foot and call the horses when we get to the right place. β
Little Lori clicked on a teleportation crystal in a hidden location, and then said.
At this point, they have reached the junction of the two forces, and further on, the territory controlled by the rebels, which means that from now on, the difficulty of the mission will increase in one breath.
"The next step is to go deep into the forest. Rebecca went ahead to explore the way, and our goal was the royal city, so as not to create a superfluous battle as much as possible. β
Isabella said.
In order to avoid encountering enemy blockades or scouts, they chose the most secluded forests. From there it is possible to go around the back of Randall City in one go.
There are only a large number of beasts and sporadic enemies here, but in the face of Rebecca, and the two of Rowan, who are surprisingly good at counter-reconnaissance. These poor soldiers simply did not have a chance to return to the castle to report.
Of course, the fact that the scouts didn't return is an anomaly in itself. However, it is currently a time of war, and deaths due to reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance are not commonplace. No commander was willing to dig deeper.
As for whether there will be a large army of the enemy passing through the forest, firstly, it is almost impossible for a large-scale army movement to go undetected, and secondly, what is the use of even if they pass through the forest?
"When you arrive, a little further on, you will find the entrance to the secret passage. β
Rebecca said, pointing ahead. After crossing the forest, the crowd saw a huge canyon. Randalltown is a city built on a hill with a natural canyon on its back, like a moat that keeps all enemies out.
Yes, if there is no secret passage.
"From here on, there is no protection of the forest, and there is a good chance that we will be discovered if we continue to advance.
Rest here for a while and wait until the evening to move on. β
Isabella said.
"There's a cave over there, just a good place to stay. β
Leah gestured not far away.
The group accepted the suggestion and began to rest in the cave, and then in the evening, Lori lit a second teleportation crystal in the cave.
Leah teleported back to the edge of the forest, then teleported the carriage to the cave.
According to Rebecca, there was a path up from here that was almost just big enough for a carriage to pass through. The road is hidden among the rocks, and it is impossible to find it unless you look for it.
They followed the path upwards and soon reached the entrance to the secret passage.
"From here, it's a secret passage. β
Rebecca turned to the crowd and said.
"Park the carriage here, and be very careful when you enter the palace. There are magic traps all over the palace, and although I know where they are, I believe that Germain will not rely only on these existing facilities. β
Isabella said.
Everyone nodded, and cautiously moved forward under Rebecca's leadership.
However, no one noticed that there were several tiny crystal balls hidden in the cracks in the rocks on either side of the path they were traveling.
"What do you want to eat tonight, Lord Germain, according to the rules of the bet?"
At this time, Finn was sitting in Germain's study, and in front of him was the basin of water, and the water surface showed Leah's group moving cautiously.
"Grill the fish, well, just grill the fish. Because it was a good day for fishing, I saw two big fish in the net at the same time. β
At this time, Germain was standing behind Finn, and he looked at the scene in the picture with a cruel smile.
The princess and little Lori were all here, which he didn't expect.
"When they enter the castle, I'll set off the alarm, and then ...... Hey, hey, hey......"
Finn also smiled sinisterly, as if he had foreseen the next outcome.
However, Germain frowned when this kind of victory was in his hands, and he looked at the little Lori in the water mirror, this was the first time he took his eyes off the princess, and looked at Leah, who he had always thought could only be regarded as a follower.
[Isabella's reliance is only on the Colossus.
But Leah Farain, there's so much in this girl that I don't know. γ
Jermain is good at grasping people's hearts, and can accurately grasp the strength and weakness of the enemy. But the only person he couldn't guess was Leah.
Judging from the reports sent by Mage City and the Elven Forest, Leah and her party once faced the evil god that made Bishop Albin even rebel and unite all mankind to fight.
Of course, he believed that the victory of the Elven Forest must be due to the Great Sage and the Elven King. But the hymn turned his perception upside down, and even the rebels could not call the azure guardian in a way other than a miracle.
If...... What if that girl named Leah Fareen had something in her hand that could be used against the evil gods......
[That's terrible. γ
For a moment, Germain sensed danger, a sixth sense that he had always thought his instincts were good.
[Is there something wrong with my judgment? They haven't played all the cards in their hand yet?]
Germain has been waiting since the beginning of the giant mountain city, he keeps the biggest trump card in his hand, the king and queen, and seeks a chance to kill him.
The cards in his opponent's hand were more powerful than he expected - the Colossus, the teleportation, the chant. Each is a weapon of destruction on the battlefield, but it is not invincible.
[It seems that these are all the cards of the princess.] γ
He used to think so.
But now, he felt danger again, not from the princess, but from Leah, who was next to Isabella.
"Don't set off the alarm and let them take the king and queen.
Inform the Duke of Arman, outflank them from the direction of the forest, and block them in the canyon and catch them all. β
[Whether it's the castle or the canyon in the distance, they can't escape my encirclement. Then let the Duke of Arman give it a try, and I hope I'm wrong. γ
He thought so, and carefully arranged the battlefield in a place far away from him. (To be continued......)
