After escorting Yura and Randy into the palace, Fell ordered the Praetorian Guard, in cooperation with the Intelligence Department's Field Service Team, to conduct a careful search of the city. Although the uncle doesn't have any hope that he can catch Hannah and the others in this way, at least this can have a certain impact on her actions, and even make her show her feet. Once Hannah has a flaw, the Golden Shadow, the ace of the Intelligence Department, will immediately seize the opportunity to find the specific location of the other party, and the rest will be much simpler at that point.

Nowadays, information circulates quickly in various parts of the Western Continent, and although it inevitably adds fuel to the fire, exaggerations and distortions of the facts by the tabloids, at least the public will know in a short time what is probably going on in a certain place. Coupled with the fact that Alicia (on the surface) did not adopt a policy of blocking news, most people learned that a young girl named Hannah is currently leading the special forces of the Dark Empire to lurk on the continent, ready to carry out espionage, sabotage, assassination and other operations against the Alliance.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the normally peaceful city of Mangla suddenly became tense, and the citizens and tourists were not surprised or puzzled. They obediently followed the instructions to close their shops, return to their lodgings or hotels, and keep an eye out for suspicious elements, bringing the city into a state of siege in the blink of an eye.

The streets and alleys were soon occupied by the Praetorian Guards and the field team, and the appearance of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry made the shadow hiding in the shadows very painful.

The response of the coalition was very swift. Although they did not have time to send troops to support and protect the villa, they quickly completed the surveillance and blockade of all roads, and allowed unrelated civilians to return to their homes. This is the lesson that the Intelligence Department's field team has learned from their long confrontation with Hannah, and that is that they must never be allowed to blend into the crowd - nevertheless. The field team did not have the authority to impose martial law on the entire city, and as a result, Hannah and the others escaped every time.

However, today, the small darkness and their operation came from time to time, and the conscientious and responsible Phil did not hesitate to let the army fully assist the field team. In the blink of an eye, there was no longer a shadow of half a civilian on the road.

It may be an exaggeration, but Hannah and her party can no longer just put on a costume and swagger around the streets.

"My lord, what should we do now?" asked one of the subordinates following the shadow, "Do you want to find a place to hide first?"

"No, it's just waiting to be caught. Ying shook his head lightly and denied, "After martial law, the other party will definitely conduct a door-to-door search, and we don't have any identification here in the Western Continent." Whether you live in a hotel or hide in a private house, you will quickly get through it. We had to find a way to get to Hannah's pre-arranged rendezvous, where the people would cover for us. ”

There was a group of soldiers patrolling the streets, and several people could only hide in place for the time being. Take advantage of this opportunity. The subordinate who had just asked him spoke again with a very obscene expression: "My lord, may I ask how far you and Hannah-sama have developed? Her personality is too dangerous for others, so you should quickly subdue her." ”

Ying didn't want to say anything about it, and he didn't want to comment on it casually. Regardless of whether Hannah is serious or just to test this handsome elf guy, she is acting on the spot. Eido not intend to accept the girl's affection. At least not yet.

In fact, Shadow's heart is very complicated now, because Hannah has learned from Hannah that the culprit who originally commanded the army to level his hometown and brainwashed all his people with spiritual magic was Randy. The elf who wanted to take revenge but didn't know who the enemy was, was once very confused, and if it weren't for Elicia's trust and expectations, he would have given up on himself, and when he finally found the clue to the enemy and was about to assassinate Randy when he was losing power, the creature shamelessly ran to the alliance to seek refuge.

When Hannah plans to kill Randy, Shadow really wants to kill him for a moment. However, the handsome elf who then woke up immediately realized that he was carried away by the rage, and calmed down in time to not show his feet - of course, he was not sure if Hannah had noticed his anomaly. So I don't have much bottom in my heart now.

"Now is not the time to discuss these things. Shadow replied lightly as he looked outside, "Besides, even I'm not sure if I'm really dating Hannah." Her character is too elusive. ”

When his subordinates heard this, they couldn't help but feel sorry.

After the patrol passed, Shadow beckoned the three of them to follow, and then sneaked through the empty streets and into the alley opposite.

It was not far from the meeting point, and seeing hope, they cautiously quickened their pace, and finally succeeded in arriving there: a large old house that housed many wanderers.

Of course, this is not a charitable facility in the true sense of the word, but a secret stronghold that Hannah has invested in.

"You're back, Shadow-sama. Menfan, who opened the door and let the handsome elf guy and his party in, nodded and said, "What happened, why is the whole city suddenly under martial law?"

Ying suddenly felt a little strange: "Why, didn't Hannah tell you?"

"Mistress Hannah and her immediate team haven't come back yet. ”

Obviously said that I would come here to gather, but she herself was nowhere to be found? Not good, there must be some conspiracy here! Shadow's face immediately turned pale, and her mind was also a mess...... No, no, no, this should be unlikely. But with her character, she might really do that. ”

Several people nearby looked at Ying with inexplicable faces, not understanding what he was nervous about.

"Attention, the search party is coming soon, get ready as soon as possible!" reminded the man in charge of observing the street from the dilapidated attic, interrupting Ei's train of thought.

Menfan immediately grabbed Guoying's arm and dragged him inside: "Please come here, change into tattered clothes, smear your face, and blend into the crowd in the hall, don't do anything conspicuous." I'll take care of the rest. ”

Not long after Shadow slipped into the crowd of people who were talking in a whisper, there was a knock on the wooden door large enough for the cats to enter and exit freely: "Bobby." Open the door!"

The man who was called Bobby immediately opened the wooden door, bowed slightly respectfully and said, "Ah, Lord Gecker. What the hell is going on today?"

The search that came to be carried out was just an ordinary city guard, so it should be easy to fool around. Before the shadow who was shrunk in the crowd and quietly looked at the door, a large group of heavily armed soldiers walked in, led by an officer.

"Bobby, the situation is a bit special today, the girl named Hannah from the Dark Empire slipped into the city with her men, so I have to check it carefully. The officer explained to Menfan, who was rubbing his hands together, and waved his hand without looking back. "Let's go!"

No matter how closely you check, you can't find anything, and the people gathered here are homeless people who can't have identification. It's our best cover. Ying looked indifferently at the soldiers, who seemed to be serious but in fact checked everyone one by one casually, and suddenly a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.

Although the soldiers' movements during the inspection were very sloppy, the expressions on their faces looked as if they were facing a great enemy, which was too abnormal! There is a faint tendency to surround the people in the hall.

The worst prediction happened. Shadow couldn't help but put her index finger against her head and sighed softly.

Bobby's name also saw that something was wrong, and cautiously asked, "That, Lord Gecker?"

The officer, who was three heads taller than Menfan, grabbed the opponent's neck with his palm with lightning speed, and shouted loudly: "Do it, arrest them all!"

Several men standing behind the officer wrapped in white cloaks immediately pulled back their hoods and revealed their weapons, no doubt all of them belonged to the Intelligence Department's Field Service Group, led by none other than Golden Shadow and her good friend Fran Linos, the dumb succubus.

Although the soldiers of the Dark Empire disguised as vagabonds were all masters and elites, the alliance side seized the lead and achieved an excellent position, and they had already fallen into an irretrievable passive situation before the battle began. Nevertheless. These guys still didn't have the slightest intention of surrendering, and they took out the weapons they were hiding with them and resisted.

The stronghold was also used in the last attempt to kidnap Imrith. Obviously, Hannah, who knows where God knows where at the moment, did not hesitate to betray her men and reveal the news to the field team; Xiao Dark, who was worried that he could not find a clue anywhere, naturally had no choice but to come and try his luck.

Naturally, it would not be an ordinary homeless person that Xiao Dian met here, and not only that, but she also saw the shadow that had broken through the encirclement with her sharp skills. The girl who catches the big fish will definitely not let the fish run away easily, and while the two sides are making a big noise to attract the attention of all the troops, Hannah can quietly do something else to avoid people's eyes.

I didn't expect her to sell us all!—Shadow struggled to break free from the entanglement of the two soldiers and scurryed down the dusty staircase to the attic, where the man in charge of the guard was long gone, except for an open window that warmly welcomed the warm sunlight into the room.

After the front door was blocked, Ei, who had come up to the attic, had the same idea as him.

When several soldiers rushed up in a rage, the shadow was already on the roof of another building more than ten meters away. At this time, the handsome elf guy found that the nearby roads had been blocked in advance, and a large number of troops blocked this area, and even a cockroach did not want to get out of here.

But they only blocked the roads, but not the roofs. The crowd could only look up as the shadows walked on the rooftops, and some soldiers tried to climb up to catch up with them, but they soon fell down with a lot of tiles.

Escaping on the rooftops is only a stopgap measure, and it is too conspicuous to be discovered soon. As soon as you leave the neighborhood, go down. Shadow jumped lightly and shouted at the bottom, and the head of the Alliance soldier fell to the roof opposite, and was about to continue running a little farther to see the opportunity to go down and hide, when suddenly there was a sound of flapping wings behind him.

The handsome elf guy couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot when he heard the voice, and he even had the mind to flip the table and scold madly. But he couldn't do that, and he had to obediently feel the Starcrack Edge and look back, while getting ready for battle.

As expected, the golden shadow unfurled a pair of white wings and turned his right hand into a long sword, reluctantly chasing after him from the low sky.

Girl, you're not done with it. I'm the one who has a girlfriend - even though that girlfriend just sold me. The messy shadow in the gust of wind did not plan to stop fighting with Xiao Dark for three hundred rounds, not to mention that this girl was Alicia's rather heavy subordinate Ling Ying threw a mouse bogey weapon during the battle, and the handsome elf who was one level apart in strength alone could not confront Xiao Dark head-on. If it is not the weapon in the hand, it is out of specification. When he first encountered in the Padshuldes Wasteland, he was afraid that he would not last a few minutes before he would be defeated by Xiao Dark.

So if there's something to find Hannah, don't come to me, hey! Shadow roared in his heart while desperately escaping, but Xiao Dark flew much faster than him, and the handsome elf guy didn't close the distance between the two in the end, but got closer and closer.

"You can't run away, I'm going to catch you today! It's better to surrender as soon as possible, so that everyone can save time, effort, and worry. When the distance was close enough, Xiao Dian did not continue to close, but chose to shout - the strange dagger in Shadow's hand impressed the girl. Beware has to be taken.

"I'm sorry, I still have important things to do, so even though a little beauty like you left me to eat, I can only regretfully refuse. ”

As he spoke, Shadow suddenly and coldly swung the Starcrack Edge backwards. Xiao Dark, who had already been on guard, immediately shook his wings and stopped the momentum of his advance, but he didn't want to make a false shot, forced Xiao Dark to retreat, and then jumped off the roof, and fell straight into the second-floor window of a small hotel.

Whether this guy was intentional or not, anyway, when Shadow broke through the window and jumped up on the floor. A girl in the mood for love is changing clothes in her room......

"What's that. I really didn't see anything!" Shadow smiled and waved at the girl who was covering her body with the clothes in her hand, but he had obviously forgotten what he was looking like at the moment, and instead of calming the girl, she screamed hysterically.

Xiao Dark, who arrived later, hovered outside the window with an unkind face and raised a sharp blade that reflected the dazzling cold light in the sunlight: "Do you want to die once?"

The shadow with a full face of the cow didn't say a word, and rushed out of the room before the matter was serious. Xiao Dian also followed into the window, but because she was slightly hindered for a while, when she arrived downstairs, the handsome elf was already gone.

――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line from which I escaped――――――――――――――――――

"Sure enough, people who do everything with all their might are dead brains. Hannah licked the blood from the blade of the dagger and casually kicked the corpse at his feet and sneered, "Just tell them about the secret stronghold." So he concentrated all his troops, and as a result, the garrison of important places was slackened. It's so cute. ”

"Lord Hannah, all the guards on the perimeter have been cleared, and no one inside has been alarmed. One of his men walked over and reported respectfully, "We're ready to take the next step." But ......"

"Well, but what?"

"Shadow Lady, is it really okay?"

Hannah sucked on her bright red liquid lips and smiled charmingly, "Of course it doesn't matter, and only he can attract the attention of the Alliance." It would take a lot of time and effort to catch that guy, and by the time the Coalition of idiots found out something was wrong, it was already too late. Besides, Shadow is the man I have my eye on, how can a mere round-up make it difficult for him to be arrested? If he is really caught, it means that he is like that, and he is not worthy of my attention. ”

"Ha ......" his subordinates secretly wiped the dense cold sweat from their heads, "Since this is the case, then the subordinates will arrange the preparations for the breakthrough." ”

Hannah waved him away, and then played with the dagger in his hand boredly, and only retracted it when the preparations were complete: "I'll make sure one last time, the big forces of the Alliance are still on the other side of the city, right?"

"Yes, sir. Even if they arrived now, it would take about twenty minutes at the earliest. ”

Nodding with satisfaction, the girl snapped her fingers gracefully and said, "Very good, let's do it." ”

The entrance, hidden in the dark part of the building's walls, was blasted open, revealing a wide passage through billowing smoke and rubble.

After the group left behind the two soy sauces who were in charge of guarding, they all rushed in with great vigour.

The passage was not long, and the magic lamps overhead were only a few counted, and an elaborate metal door appeared in front of everyone, and the brass sign hanging next to it read-

Technology Development Department of the Western Continent Unification Alliance.

That's right, this was Hannah's original goal from the beginning, and not to get rid of the biggest threat, her mentor, Randy, as she said. The reason why the girl attacked Randy's residence was all because she was acting for the Alliance and Shadow, and after causing the former to get nervous and tricking the latter into leaving, Hannah sent her men to anonymously reveal the location of the stronghold to the Alliance, so that Shadow and those hapless men could contain the Alliance.

This would allow her to enter the most secret part of the alliance as easily as she did now. (To be continued......)
