"Meow, you really didn't break your promise."
The increasingly cold air has made the cold wind coming from the south of Zaraha City more intense, and it has also made the streets here become even colder and unbearable. Many street vendors from this area have also been affected by the increasingly cold air. And it became less and less, leaving only a few homeless refugees in the empty streets. His eyes lingered on the ragged crowd for a while. Lieyan Legend, who was lying on top of one of the low houses on the street, shrank his body involuntarily, cursing the cold weather and whispering to the players around him. He complained: "It's just that the tasks derived from it in the end were a bit troublesome..."
"Isn't this to find the whereabouts of the imperial captain?" A fat thief lying on the side responded tremblingly: "There is no prompt system in this game. If we want to confirm the whereabouts of the other party... we can only rely on our own manual operations. ah."
"How's the investigation going in Nuobang Street?" Then Legend of Flames sighed louder and louder: "That guy's route hasn't been confirmed yet?"
"That's eight whole streets!" The fat thief replied with a depressed look on his face: "They are everywhere, but I only have one pair of eyes and two legs. If I really check them all..."
"Hasn't that Tudou guy come in yet?"
"The empire's security in Zaraha City seems to have become even tighter. It has been difficult for adventurers and other foreign traders to enter the city." The Flying Qi Xia, who turned sideways and twisted his body, patted his chest proudly: " Fortunately, I'm not a fool like Potato. I can't get in through the main entrance, so I can still climb in from the city wall..."
"I have already contacted the people from the resistance and asked them to find a way for us to cross the border." Legend of Flames replied in a low voice: "Although these people are not very powerful, in terms of sneaking around... they should be... There’s no problem.”
"Since you even said that... then just believe them for once." So the fat man muttered slightly unhappily: "Next..."
"We also have to do our own jobs."
Following the gradually extending gazes of the two people, an imperial captain appeared at the end of this deserted street, guarded by imperial soldiers. The figure with gorgeous armor riding on a tall horse then slowly followed with the loud sound of horse hooves. As he walked towards the street, at the same time, the surrounding guards kept shouting warnings to the surroundings. As if to make their travels safer, the few refugees who were originally staying on the streets were all driven to both sides by the imperial soldiers. The two Legend of Flames, who had long been accustomed to this, lay on the ground. The figure on the wall didn't make any unnecessary noise: "...is this the third time?"
"Yes, it should be confirmed."
"Did you write it down?"
"I've written it down a long time ago. When we get back, we'll study this guy's patrol route... Huh?"
The buzzing sound that only belongs to the online network, together with the sudden white light, gathered next to the two people's hiding place, and then Duan Qing's figure was gradually revealed in front of the two people. He seemed to be very familiar with what was happening in front of him. He then leaned down without hesitation, completely separating the white light on his body from the sight of several imperial guards looking from below: "...How about it?"
"There is finally a little progress, but the route is not complete yet."
"How's the connection with Harlem's Tavern?"
"It's been prepared over there a long time ago, and the location has been drawn on the map... Do you think the symbol I drew looks like something only found in a tavern?"
There was a slight friction sound as several people chatted wordlessly and moved forward slightly. The team led by the imperial captain was constantly within his sight, and he continued to beat them. The imperial captain who was following the refugees along the street seemed oblivious to the surveillance from above, and followed their patrol route gradually forward to the far corner of the street. The Feitian Qixia, who once again looked at the players around him, gave up the idea of continuing to tease, and took the lead in chasing the Empire team in the direction where they disappeared, leaving only the refugees who were slashed to the side by the sword. wailing, and the eyes of Duan Qing and Lieyan Legend looking at each other: "How is the competition going?"
"What else can I do? Let's continue drawing lots, although the final result doesn't seem to be very good..."
"What, the death team? Do you want to go up there and surrender, then surrender on the spot?"
"If I had such a character, this mission would not have been carried out so easily. Look at the final result of Tristan's 'loyalty'... Why didn't I kill him with a knife in the end?"
As if they had reached a consensus at this moment, the two of them cursed in unison for a while at the middle-aged uncle who had won them the task in the end, and then took their own steps and walked along the front of Feitian Qixia. He chased slowly in the direction he left. The cold wind from this neighborhood then covered up the footsteps of the two people again. At the same time, it covered up the continuous shouts of the Imperial Guards that still echoed at the far corner of the street. Two of them jumped over Duan Qing, who was standing in the gap between the houses, then grabbed a pillar in front of him and poked his head forward: "Is it really effective to follow like this? We have to think of another way..."
"The tasks we have received so far are all preparation tasks for the attack plan. It is inevitable that it will be thankless." Legend of Flames, who followed him, replied with a depressed look on his face: "Transporting weapons, preparing manpower, conducting route reconnaissance, and... Formulating a plan... Unless you have some other method, none of these tedious things must be missing."
"The tavern should be responsible for transporting the weapons needed by the resistance. Hart will take care of the specific matters." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "The most troublesome thing now is the formulation of the plan. As long as the time can be chosen, and location…”
"How about stealing their imperial people's defense plan?" Legend of Flames, who lowered his head to check the map in his hand, pointed to the corner where the group of guards in front had just passed: "From the observations in the past few days, their patrols The route passes through these fixed streets every time, so in their scheduled plan, there must be several important defensive locations that they have to pass every day..."
call--
A cold wind that was more violent than before suddenly passed over the heads of the two people, and then left boundless silence on the roof where Duan Qing was. The sound of fighting came from the corner in front and appeared at the same time. There were also increasingly fierce shouts belonging to the group of imperial soldiers. The Legend of Flames, whose eyes gradually became serious, then put away his adventurer map and took out the shield he was carrying with his backhand. The man who wanted to rush forward immediately took a step forward and stepped on the path close to him. A piece of noise came from the edge of the roof: "Damn it, at this time..."
"There was an attack."
After a few quick glances behind the erected shield, the big shield warrior continued in a dull voice: "I don't know what happened, but he probably isn't one of us. The fat man is still lying on the roof in front of me. , it should not have been reported... Hey, where is the person?"
"..."
"Hey, hey!"
Looking back anxiously through Legend of Flames, Duan Qing's standing figure, who had not followed him before, was now reflected next to the pillar behind him. It seemed that he was not shaken at all by the commotion in front of him. His eyes were also focused on the ordinary stone pillar next to him. Several similar ancient stone pillars also appeared side by side next to the ancient brick wall not far from them, forming an irregular group of small ancient stone pillars. Duan Qing, who had been watching there, then took it back. He lifted his hand that had been pressing on the surface of the stone pillar, and his eyes turned to the patterns carved on the surface of the stone pillar: "Strange..."
"Hello!"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Do you still have time to see the scenery? We have been discovered!"
boom!
The sound of the rock being crushed then appeared in Duan Qing's ears, completely pulling him back from his wandering consciousness. The pulling force from the legend of the flames then drove his right arm, barely escaping from the action. A fierce sword energy flew in front of the street in a moment. Amidst the clanging sound of armor scraping and rolling on the ground, several more harsh screeching sounds passed by Duan Qing's ears. He stood up again and then shook his head, looking at a pair of imperial soldiers below the roof. The eyes in the center met.
"It's you!"
After all, he recognized the man who had attacked him before. The imperial captain who had slipped off his horse supported the crooked imperial war helmet, then pulled out his long sword and pointed in the direction of Duan Qing. He pointed hard and said: "It is indeed them! Kill me——!"
"...Who can tell me what's going on?"
Swinging his sword to deflect the two sharp sword auras that followed, Duan Qing asked in a low voice without looking back, "Why did it become like this?"
"Why the hell do I still want to ask you!" Legend of Lieyan, who had shrunk to the back, shouted at Duan Qing: "The person just now was not one of ours, why was it finally blamed on us?"
"...It's probably a coincidence."
Looking at the charred street corner below and the increasing number of Imperial soldiers around him, Duan Qing helplessly tugged at the corner of his mouth: "If one of our people hadn't lost his hand..."
"This time I'm probably going to take the blame for someone else again."
In the spectacular scene of several walls split by sword energy and shattered into powder, Duan Qing waved to his teammates and gave up his defensive line at the rear. His decisive figure followed with a background like a hail of bullets. , turned around and jumped from the top of the roof where the pillar was. The few imperial soldiers who lost their target then put away the long swords they were wielding and shouted loudly in the direction where Duan Qing disappeared. The other imperial soldiers who had received their warning and ran after hearing the news also hurriedly moved toward Duan Qing. They gathered back from the direction they came from: "They are over there!"
"Catch them! Dead or alive!"
"Tren's hurt! He didn't stop them! Where are the others in the Nobang neighborhood?"
"People on the roof don't come down yet! People from the second team! You go to the east!"
"...They indeed set up hidden sentries on the roof."
Stretching out his sword to deflect the two sword energy, Duan Qing, who was already running ahead, turned into a new deserted alley again, and then rushed to the straight line before several imperial pursuers could catch up again. He threw the two pre-emptive invisible sword energy behind him with his backhand: "No wonder we were discovered so quickly... It must be because of what happened before that they started to be wary of the sky above the entire city."
"Then we are going to be in trouble?" A few screams came from the ears, and Legend of Lieyan who followed behind replied with a gloomy face: "There are so many imperial guards, and they are all masters who can use sword energy... I am a level 60 battlefield veteran and I still don’t know how to use that thing!”
"We are all veterans of the battlefield, why are we still trying to compete with the system?"
Duan Qing quickly glanced at the map and ignored the shouts behind him and chose a new direction: "Even if the guards sent here all have special skills, you and I don't have anything to say. .”
"Then what should we do now? I can't stop it for long!" Lie Yan Legend, who raised his shield to block the sword energy coming from the side again, answered with a few tremors in his voice: "It's not a big deal if you die. , if our identity is exposed... we will really be in trouble in the future!"
"I'll block some of it for you."
After pulling out two defensive sword flowers again, Duan Qing's voice then disappeared on the right side of Legend of Flame: "Then let's go to Harlem Square."
"Halom Square? Are you crazy?" Legend of Flame, who was following with his shield, raised his voice behind them: "There is nothing there! Rushing out is not just as simple as basking in the sun!"
"It doesn't matter, as long as the speed is fast enough." Duan Qing, who had sped up by two points, replied expressionlessly: "We don't know how many people they have arranged on the roof. They will be found wherever they run, so they still It would be more promising to simply avoid all the buildings and pass through the square..."
"But--"
boom!
Amidst the sound of two horizontal and vertical sword energy piercing the wall again, Legend of Lieyan, who was following behind, turned the shield erected behind him and raised it above his head: "But now the entire Zaraha City belongs to the empire! Rush over. Don’t we still have to look at the faces of the Imperial people across from us?”
"Do your best and obey fate." Duan Qing, who was running in front, shouted as the sounds of pursuit became louder and louder from all directions, "Whether you can escape successfully or not... will depend on luck."
"Hey! Do you dare to think of a more reliable method?" Then Legend of Flame's breathless voice became anxious again: "What if..."
call--
Completely different from the surrounding noise, a subtle sound broke through the air and then sounded in the middle of the street where the two people were. At the same time, a hand suddenly stretched out from in front of Duan Qing: "The way to avoid those sentries is not There is only one kind...two brothers!"
"This way!"
