Could it be another plan? Gu Fei and Sword Ghost thought to themselves as they looked at each other. The thoughts of the Han Family's young master were hard to guess, but compared to that, it was even harder to get his true intentions out of his mouth. The two of them could only stand guard in front of the hole, looking at each other as they waited patiently.
Not long after, something unexpected happened. The players standing guard outside the woodshed suddenly became even noisier than before, as if something had happened.
"Quick, look!" Sword Ghost, who was watching from the hole, immediately called out to Gu Fei and made way for him to observe as well.
Following the commotion, the other side clearly began to move, and many people began to return to the front yard.
"What happened?" Gu Fei looked at Sword Ghost in confusion.
"It's probably the plan that Young Master Han mentioned?" Sword Ghost said.
"What did he plan?" Gu Fei scratched his head.
"I don't know, but it's as he predicted." Sword Ghost said.
"When will this guy make a mistake?" Gu Fei said angrily. Human's emotions were always this subtle. Although it would be a disaster for Gu Fei and Sword Ghost if Young Master Han made a mistake, this guy had always been meticulous in his calculations, and it was hard not to stimulate the rebellious mentality of humans. Gu Fei really wanted to see how Young Master Han would react after making a fatal mistake, even if it cost him his life.
"But it seems like not all of them have left." Sword Ghost announced some bad news.
"That's normal!" Gu Fei said, "No matter what kind of trick they used to lure us away, they won't completely give up on us, two turtles in a jar, right?"
"But I'm afraid this is our only chance." Sword Ghost said.
"So, let's charge!" Gu Fei said.
"Yes!" Sword Ghost nodded.
"Don't get caught up in the fight, and use your fastest speed to get over the wall." Gu Fei wasn't worried about Sword Ghost's speed, but he was worried that Sword Ghost wouldn't be agile enough to climb the wall, and would be knocked down.
"Understood!" Sword Ghost said.
"Okay!" Gu Fei reached out and pulled the small broken door of the woodshed.
At this moment, a real battle had erupted in the front yard of the government compound, or more accurately, the front yard's gate. This time, it wasn't some fake harassment, but a genuine attack from a guild that didn't see eye to eye.
Where there were people, there would be conflicts. A guild without disputes meant that it was an inconspicuous passerby guild.
It was impossible for one of the biggest guilds in Dawn Fog City to not have any enemies. Young Master Han had already learned this from Strange Eye. Therefore, he did not spread his net like he did in Waterside City. Instead, he targeted his target and focused his attack on it.
The method was the same. The young master of the Han Family still sent a letter with a gold coin to the core members of these enemy guilds.
If he had just randomly said that there was a loophole in the government compound and that they were welcome to visit, the other party might have treated it as a prank and ignored it. However, the tone of the young master of the Han Family's letter was very different. It was the tone of the group of people who had caused a ruckus two days ago. The content of the letter was even more unscrupulous, revealing his understanding of the operation that day, making it impossible for anyone to doubt his identity. Following that, there was only one theme: We are going to cause a ruckus soon, and we welcome you to join us.
The news that the government compound had been tormented by someone a few days ago had already spread throughout Xiayu City. The young master of the Han Family believed that these fools must have felt regretful that they hadn't taken advantage of the situation that day. Since that day, they had strengthened their defenses. The more they saw it, the more regretful they felt. And right now, this letter from Young Master Han was akin to giving them a pill of regret, giving them a chance to do it again.
Of course, it was impossible for the guilds to attack so recklessly. They needed time to see if it was really as the letter said. Therefore, the consequences of the actions of Young Master Han's Strange Eye, Gu Fei, and Sword Ghoul, as well as the two main characters, would fall into the eyes of these guilds.
There was only one truth that appeared in their eyes: Flowers in the Fog was indeed being harassed again.
A chance!
The people who were the most unwilling to let go of an opportunity were usually the people who had missed an opportunity before. Since the letter's words had been confirmed, there was nothing to hesitate about. They should seize the opportunity and do it!
Therefore, the formal battle between the guilds officially began. Flowers in the Fog thought that the harassment from the previous guilds was just a misunderstanding. Suddenly, he discovered that there really were guilds attacking them. Moreover, they were all characters that didn't get along with their own guilds. While they were shocked, they could not help but sigh: Why are these old opponents so smart today? Both real and fake …
The guild leader of Flowers in the Fog, Three Sighs of Flowing Maple, was still washing his face. Once he heard the news, he could not care less about cleanliness and rushed to the front yard. How could there be so many lines of dialogue when the two sides who had never gotten along? At this point, they had already become one. A large portion of Flowers in the Fog's manpower had been placed in the backyard to guard the broken woodshed. The situation was extremely disadvantageous, and it was necessary to send reinforcements as soon as possible. There was no need to think too much.
Therefore, the defense of the woodshed in the backyard loosened …
How could the two sides who were fighting in the front yard know that in their desperate battle, some people were actually hiding such a small goal?
The moment Gu Fei opened the woodshed's door, he had already used a high-damage sword skill called "Double Flame Flash". As he had expected, there were people blocking the door. With such a sword skill, a small empty space was immediately cleared. Then, Sword Ghoul charged out valiantly, using the skill "Fog Ambush", which was high speed and had a strong impact. It was even more powerful than "Charge", which was the most terrifying skill in a straight line. Once the skill was used, Sword Ghoul charged straight out of the encirclement in the blink of an eye.
The surrounding players turned their heads in shock, only to be greeted by flames again! Gu Fei had already teleported behind Sword Ghoul, just in time to use him as cover. The flames spread out, leaving another empty space. Gu Fei pointed at his feet. "Flaming Tree Thousand Layers Flames, rise!" He chanted loudly.
"Dodge!" The two turned and ran.
"F * ck! It's fake. " The crowd that had been startled by the Thousand Layer Flames of the Blazing Tree and had dodged in all directions, saw the Lifeless Flame burning, they shouted and wanted to chase after it.
It had been proven countless times that those who didn't understand Gu Fei's spells would suffer greatly. Everyone had thought that the skills were fake, but as soon as they stepped onto this land, they suddenly discovered that it was already a land of fire. The flames were more intense than anything they had ever seen before. Characters with weak health could only become a speck of white light in the midst of the flames.
Gu Fei and Sword Ghoul, who were known for their speed, were already several meters away. Gu Fei took out two loops of rope and handed one to Sword Ghoul. "Hold it well."
Sword Ghoul knew that he was pulling away to buy time to climb over the wall, and he needed more time to climb over the wall, so he kept looking back to see how far away he was. When it was about time, he nodded at Gu Fei. "It's done."
"Okay!" Gu Fei didn't hesitate. He threw out the two claws in his hands, one in front and one behind, accurately grabbing the top of the wall.
"Go!" Gu Fei yelled. He pulled the rope and flew into the air. Sword Ghoul wasn't as carefree as him. He ran to the bottom of the wall, pulled the rope tight, and stepped on the wall.
The two climbed up the wall, one in front and one behind. The enemies on the ground surged forward like a tide. Gu Fei's climbing proficiency was far superior to Sword Ghoul's. Sword Ghoul had only climbed a third of the way to the top of the wall.
Seeing the enemies get closer and closer, Gu Fei looked at Sword Ghoul. He realized that these top experts in the game weren't weak either. For example, their mental fortitude was definitely strong enough. If it were the people who had come with him that day, they would have been scared out of their wits in front of the enemy. If they were in this situation, Gu Fei reckoned that they would have already fallen off the wall from trembling. Sword Ghoul, on the other hand, was still calm and collected, meticulously climbing up the wall.
But calmness was calmness. The enemies were getting closer, and Sword Ghoul was a bit slow. A few Archers had already drawn their bows and started shooting.
"Hold on!!" Gu Fei yelled, swinging his hands.
"Pa pa!" Two arrows suddenly fell to the ground. The Archers on the ground could clearly see that the mage on top of the wall had thrown something that actually knocked down their arrows.
"F * ck, it's not that crazy!!!" Everyone was dumbfounded.
"How lucky … I hit two …" Gu Fei muttered in his heart. This was a performance that even Gu Fei hadn't expected. He had thrown a total of five Meat Cleaver Knives in order to test his luck. After all, the Archers' arrows were too fast, and Gu Fei's throwing hidden weapons was too slow. This greatly increased the difficulty of estimating. Gu Fei wasn't confident at all. He just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect to bet two out of five.
Of the remaining three arrows, he missed one, and Sword Ghoul dodged one and took the hit from the other. He was only a hair's breadth away from the top of the wall. When the Archers' second wave of ambushes came, Gu Fei could already reach them with his sword and easily nullify them.
Sword Ghoul climbed up the wall and jumped down. He pulled out the arrow stuck in his back and let out a long sigh. "That was close."
"Let's go!" Gu Fei put away his hook and placed it on the other side. The two of them slid down calmly. Their infiltration had come to an end. As for the guild war in the front yard, it seemed like it had nothing to do with the two of them anymore.
"What do you think is in that cellar?" The two of them were walking on the street and had already begun to discuss the continuation of their mission. They completely ignored the thousands of people fighting for them. This was the fate of minor characters!
"I don't know!" Gu Fei said. What did a cellar have to do with the assassination of Giordano?
"Anyway, we won't know anything until we open it," Sword Ghoul said.
"Where can we find the key …" Gu Fei muttered.
"Should we go back and search the sleeping assassin?" Sword Ghoul said.
"Is there any other way?"
"I don't know if anyone knows the skill to pick locks," Sword Ghoul said.
