Although most people did not understand the conversation that made someone excited, there were still some quick-witted people who understood. Uzov's eyes lit up as he understood the meaning of what the mage had said to him.
Even so, most people still did not understand. Hallumi asked, "Teacher, this … What does it have to do with us whether Pandas goes on a long trip or not?" As the core members of the Hanen Society, they did not use their real names in their conversations. Instead, they used pseudonyms.
And according to Fen, those pseudonyms were the original names of the Dark Army. In other words, this small group of people wanted to replace the entire Dark Army.
For the apprentice who did not understand, someone wanted to drill a hole in her head with a drill. However, a certain someone who thought he had a good temper still patiently explained, "Everything we're doing now is just passively collecting information. The advantage is that we can hide in the dark and catch the other party off guard. But sometimes we need to cooperate and take the initiative to pry open other people's mouths to get the information we want. But the premise of doing this is that we will not expose our existence. Or rather, we will not be exposed for the time being. When they are all in the same place, the addition or absence of anyone will arouse their vigilance. But what if someone takes the initiative to leave at this time? "
With a rhetorical question, everyone instantly understood the intention behind this. Kaya quickly found a few key words from the conversation. Pilsen City with a destination, the departure time was tomorrow morning, and there would be a team of guards accompanying them. The purpose seemed to be to investigate the death of the high-ranking priest.
Hallumi, who was controlling the real scene map to cover the entire Storm Bay and even enlarge it to include the surrounding terrain and roads, was stunned when she heard Kaya's report. She stopped what she was doing and looked up to ask, "This is the matter related to us?"
"Yes, it should be. Unless they are so unlucky that they lost two people there. But how long has it been, and now they want to investigate? Are they too confident that others will obediently wait for them to come to their door, or do they have another way to track us? "Lin said. But he still changed the topic, ignoring the intentions of the group of people, and said directly, "We can't completely grasp the situation in Storm Bay, so it is more appropriate to set the intercept point outside the city. How many roads are there from here to Pilsen City? "
Perhaps her programming skills were not as good as Kaya's, but Hallumi was also quite proficient in controlling the map. She quickly pulled out the map between Storm Bay and Pearson City and marked out all the roads that connected the two. Lin glanced at them and said, "Concentrate on the road at the end of Storm Bay. We can't run to Pilsen City to intercept him."
Ignoring Uzov, who was stunned by this fancy maneuver, Hallumi's map once again shrunk. Lin looked at the routes that extended from Storm Bay. The route that started from the south of the city was actually the route that he had taken to Storm Bay. But if they wanted to go to Pilsen City, they could just go straight. There was no need to take a detour through the Elven Kingdom.
Setting off from the east or north of the city was actually just a big detour. No matter what, the other party would have to pass through the forest path on the cliff. Although there were many paths in the forest, for those who intended to intercept the other party, the range was much smaller.
Lin watched for a while and did not continue to think about where they would go. Instead, he asked, "Can you confirm how many guards they will have?"
Kaya repeated the contents of the conversation that mentioned traveling and shook her head. Lin gave another order. "Search for the contents of everyone's conversation. Keywords: Pandas, guards."
"Got it." The black-haired, brown-skinned girl was expressionless, but there was a hint of excitement in her voice. She quickly pulled out a conversation that mentioned that they were going to act as guards for Pandas, a core member of the Hanen Society. The speaker said that he would bring his trusted companions and ride out.
Kaya quickly came up with a list of the six-man team based on who the speaker was talking to and the faces that Uzov recognized. This was a notorious group of bandits in the nearby towns, and they had committed many heinous crimes. What was even more terrifying was that the dead who died at their hands rarely remained intact. It was not hard to imagine what kind of cruel abuse they had suffered.
Against such an opponent, the group naturally had no psychological burden. They just had to fight to the death. However, Lin still arranged everyone first. "For tomorrow's matter, Kaya will stay behind and monitor the other party's movements. She will report back at any time. The rest of you will ambush in this part of the forest." As he spoke, Lin pointed to a corner of the forest on the map. "As for the rest … well, we'll talk about it when the time comes."
"Ah, that's it?" Uzov asked in surprise. "Shouldn't we plan how to attack and what tactics to use?"
"Yes, that's good." Lin yawned and said, "We don't have enough tacit cooperation. No matter how we arrange our tactics, we might not be able to deal with unexpected situations. If we really have to say, at least one person will deal with each of them. We will use our best skills to kill the other party as soon as possible. The rest is to act according to the situation. "
"Then, do you still need manpower? I can help. I can also find some people to help. "Uzov asked casually.
"No, the more people there are, the easier it is for unexpected changes to happen. If you want to help, you can do it alone. "With that, Lin got up and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Uzov also got up and asked, "Sir, you are now …?"
Yawning again, Lin said, "I've been busy during the day. I'm going to sleep. I have to ambush someone early in the morning tomorrow. I can't be tired. This is related to my life. " The second half of the sentence that he didn't say was that if he was tired, even if he wasn't killed by the other party, he might be killed by the angry Lich because he slipped up and ran away.
Besides, although Blink didn't seem to cost anything, it had to be maintained in midair. After the Arcane Eye detected for a certain period of time, he had to choose the next location to move to. This wasn't done with the judgment of a program. It was completely controlled by the human brain.
Also, every time he used Blink, he had to stay for at least one minute for the Arcane Eye to complete the preliminary scan. What these fragments of time consumed was patience. Lin Li suddenly missed himself when he was in his second year of middle school. Where did he get the patience to train until he reached level 99 while playing RPG games?
Yawning again, Lin ran to the empty bed in the next room. As soon as he lay down, he fell unconscious. Since someone who was the backbone of the team had slipped away, the others naturally washed up and went to sleep. Just like that man said, there was still work to be done early in the morning.
However, the two girls consciously took charge of the night watch because Kaya would stay behind tomorrow and didn't have to go out to fight. So, Hallumi would be on guard for the first half of the night, and then Kaya would be on guard for the second half. At the same time, they had already made some necessary arrangements to monitor the target.
In the middle of the night, the owner of the tavern, Uzov Gantia, had just finished writing a long letter in his room. Through the mail system, which was similar to the forum, created by that person but rarely used, he sent it to his former comrades.
What he saw and heard today proved that that person definitely didn't only create things that were publicly known. Any one of those things might be a great weapon that could shake the entire world. And yet, such a man was by that devil's side. In this situation, it would be a lie to say that everyone was completely at ease.
So, he felt that it was necessary to supervise everything. Even if something really happened and he couldn't stop it, at least someone would be one step ahead of time. And the price was that he only had to sacrifice himself. It was quite worth it. Gazing at the starry sky outside the window, Uzov smiled. That man didn't think that the things he created, to a certain extent, were also a sharp weapon to secretly monitor him.
… Was that really the case? Kaya, who had just finished her shift, sat in the room that displayed a miniature view of Carefree Palace. She noticed that the First Coffin had intercepted an abnormal package sent at close range. Without thinking, she opened it and glanced at it. Then, she made a copy and forwarded the package. It was as if nothing had happened, except for the copy of the mail that was stored in a specific folder in the First Coffin.
Early in the morning, the group arrived at the predetermined ambush location, but they didn't feel nervous at all. If not for the fact that everyone was fully armed, they would have thought that this group of people was just here for an outing.
Because the four silver-bearded dwarves temporarily didn't have … or perhaps they would never be able to use peaceful equipment, they were now lightly armed. A chainmail, a small round shield, a horned helmet, and an iron hammer suitable for both smithing and smithing. After all, when traveling outside, there were many things that couldn't be too particular about. It was best to be able to use more than one thing. So, the dwarves all chose a hammer that was suitable for them.
Hallumi was wearing a short shirt and breeches, not a mage's robe. Her long golden hair was tied into a ponytail, and the long whip made from the vines of the World Tree hung at her waist. She also picked out some stones suitable for throwing with the catapult and put them in the pouch on the other side of her waist.
The catapult, which was also made from the materials of the World Tree, had the additional effect of automatically replenishing magic stones. But according to her teacher, there were some functions that shouldn't be easily displayed in front of others if it wasn't necessary. They could be used as a trump card in the future. It was just that the man who said such things always exposed new technology in front of others, which made the girls gnash their teeth in hatred.
Uzov Gantia, on the other hand, put on the equipment that he hadn't used in a long time but was still well-maintained. Leather armor, gauntlets, a pair of nimble and silent boots, a short sword, and a crossbow. They were all crafted with exquisite craftsmanship and high-quality materials, and each of them was enchanted with magical effects.
Who knew how many Warriors and Thieves would be envious to death just from having such wealth. And these things weren't just for show. They were actually useful and companions that had accompanied Uzov through life and death several times. However, compared to a mage, this wasn't considered poor. Then what was poor?
