Volume Nine, Chapter Twenty-Fifth, Wrong and Wrong
Xu marched for two days without being intercepted by thieves or followed by suspicious people, nothing unusual at all.
However, I don't know when, but a trace of deepness pressed into Nilac's heart.
"The Phantom Thieves seem to be overly simplistic..."
From the words of the female bandit, we can know that the bandit group has been staying there for two full months. After two months of forced buying and selling, even at the border, the Bright Empire will not have no reaction...
Then the only possibility is that there is some relationship between the Phantom Thieves and the Bright Empire, or some people in the Bright Empire itself, so they can act unscrupulously on the border under the care of the above!
With a sudden movement in his heart, he took a map from Gurkov. Nilac's eyes slowly moved on the map, and then quickly condensed...
"Sir, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Sensing Nilak's abnormal reaction, Gourcuff's heart skipped a beat and he asked softly.
Nirak's finger lightly moved on the map a few times. Following the movements of his fingers, Gourcuff's eyes were a little dazed at first, and then gradually became serious.
"Sir, what do you mean..."
Nilac nodded slightly: "Yes, we were indeed a little careless. It seems that the target that the Phantom Thieves are waiting for is most likely us!"
The routes drawn with his fingers were clearly the closest routes from the headquarters of the God of War Empire branch to the City of Glory, and one of them was the path that Nilak and the others were taking now.
The route of the convoy has always been arranged by mercenaries, so naturally they will not choose remote routes!
And besides Wiki, who knows the specific location of the branch headquarters, there is no one else who can set the target so accurately!
"Unless Wiki dies, the organization will never have peace in the future!" Gourcuff's eyes showed a murderous intent, and there was also a trace of doubt: "But how could this phantom thieves group obey her orders?"
With a sneer on his lips, Nilac said slowly: "Of course it's not her order. How can Wiki now be qualified to invite the Phantom Thieves..."
After a slight pause, the sneer on Nilac's face became more obvious: "It should be Catherine's good deeds! Haha, I didn't expect this notorious ghost thief to have close ties with some high-level officials of the Bright Empire, and even the Royal Family of the Bright Empire.
The relationship... No wonder some countries used to unite to exterminate the Phantom Thieves, but at critical moments, they would suddenly fall apart, and it must have something to do with the Empire of Light!"
The Empire of Light, which has always claimed to be holy and righteous, is actually closely related to the extremely vicious Ghost Thieves! Gourcuff also had a hint of ridicule on his face, and suddenly smiled and said: "Fortunately, Sir, your existence has never been exposed.
The mercenaries know that the Ghost Thieves Group has checked the convoy, and they don’t even know that we are their target, so there is nothing unusual these days!"
Nilac nodded slightly. Although the phantom thieves in the woods are all very powerful, even the strong men in the sanctuary may not be able to detect his existence. There is no chance of those thieves discovering him!
But don't be careless, the border is guarded by phantom thieves, and the internal security must be tighter and more secretive!
After thinking for a moment, Nilac smiled lightly and said: "We will find out if we are being targeted by someone..."
The convoy slowly entered a small town, took a short rest in a tavern, and then continued on the road.
However, the merchant Gourcuff had something to do and needed to go to a nearby place to find an old friend, so after making an appointment to meet up, the team suddenly split into two at the city gate. The mercenaries guarded the two carriages and continued to move forward.
Erkov and Nilak took another path.
This sudden change made some people's hearts tremble, but of course, it was just a tremor.
Knowing the target's alertness, they arranged surveillance at fixed points. Every town leading from here to the City of Glory has their people present at the city gate, in the tavern, and in all motorcades.
Places you may pass by...
Therefore, even if the convoy was split into two, they were not surprised at all. As long as he wanted to go to the imperial capital, he would automatically come to their surveillance.
After driving on the deserted road for several hours, with no one following the carriage, Gourcuff smiled and said: "No one has discovered it yet. The identities of the business group we used are all real and will not arouse anyone's suspicion."
.”
Nilac nodded slowly, but said: "If we walk for another hour and there is still no abnormality, we will go back..."
Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, his voice paused, his eyes slowly closed, and his mind began to spin rapidly.
Gourcuff knew that Nikak must be thinking of something and did not disturb his thoughts.
After a long time, his eyes slowly opened, and the bright purple light moved people's hearts. Nilac said in a deep voice: "If you were Wiki, and the Phantom Thieves were arranged in the front, wouldn't you arrange manpower behind? And if you were Wiki,
, will you arrange for your subordinates to follow me again?"
Gourcuff's eyes suddenly brightened at the words of the necromancer. Yes, Wiki was well aware of the terror of Nilak, and had long been prepared for his arrival.
How could it be missing on the route that Nilac is most likely to pass by?
However, she also knew that Nilac was vigilant and would not dare to send people to follow her and alert the snake, so there was only one possibility...
"Sir, are you saying that we may have been exposed?"
After thinking about the matter, Nilac had a clear mind and slowly shook his head and said: "No matter whether it is exposed or not, we can't go back on the original route! Even though Wiki has not grasped my whereabouts yet, your appearance is...
You know, if I know you are here, you can know my whereabouts with just a little thought."
Gourcuff is not Nilak, he does not have the art of transformation, and he comes from the God of War Empire, so he will definitely be subject to the strictest supervision. It may be that his information has been sent to the City of Glory at this moment.
And Wiki, who knows Gourcuff, naturally also knows that the Fourth Elder will not appear in the Empire of Light for no reason, and only Nilak can accompany him personally...
"Abandon the carriage and I will go to the City of Glory by another route. As for you, since Wiki may already know that you are coming, the surveillance on you will definitely be tighter. So, you should turn back! Stay away from them.
According to the route at that time, find a remote place and sneak back to the God of War Empire. Remember, we won’t go to the headquarters of the God of War Empire for the time being.”
Vicky is not a pushy person. Hearing this, he nodded: "In that case, I won't hold you back. Great Elder, be careful. Since Vicky is prepared, with the help of Catherine, Glory
The city's protective power must be unprecedentedly powerful... The royal family of the Light Empire has never been very showy, but their power is quite astonishing, and behind them, there is even more support from the Church of Light..."
After taking over the rough map of the Empire of Light from Gourcuff, and asking about the situation of the few spies in the City of Glory, the two of them got off the carriage and quickly left in separate directions.
………………
"What? A carriage lost its surveillance? How did you do it? Have you been raised in vain for so many years? Why don't you let me check it out!"
In a secret hall, an old man in rich robes was furious. In front of his outburst of anger, several men in black shrank their bodies tremblingly. After hearing the last sentence, they hurriedly replied "Yes" and flew humbly outside the room.
Go back.
"Wait!"
The bodies of the men in black suddenly stopped, and the old man waved to the man in black at the back: "Come here and tell me everything in detail!"
Then he waved his hand to the others: "You go and do things. I'll give you one day. If the carriage is still missing, please join the army for me!"
Naturally, when they join the army, they will not be sent to serve as soldiers! The elders in the army also need normal physiological activities, and normal physiological activities require a large number of objects. If they are sent into the army, they will naturally serve as the objects of the military's physiological activities.
of!
The face of the man in black was full of horror: "Sir, we will definitely find out the whereabouts of the carriage as soon as possible!"
After saying that, they immediately turned around and left. Compared to the legendary miserable life in the army, their current life should be considered paradise!
The only remaining handsome man in black sat tremblingly on the old man's body. Under the rough movements of the old man's hands, he quickly separated the carriage without warning and then suddenly disappeared.
The old man's rough movements gradually calmed down in her voice, and some doubts appeared in his eyes. Did he suddenly disappear without warning... Was it really without warning...
Suddenly, he was startled, and a force surged out of his hand, pushing the woman to the ground roughly. Just when the woman thought she was about to be violated again, the old man suddenly walked outside.
Regardless of whether there is no warning or whether you have noticed it, this matter must be reported to the other side immediately!
………………
There are mistakes!
When Nilak thought that Gourcuff might have been exposed and had to go on the road alone, he had unknowingly completely disrupted Catherine's entire arrangement.
As the royal family of the Light Empire, it was naturally impossible for her to place the battlefield to kill Nilak in the Capital of Glory.
So she, along with the royal masters, church bishops, and the minister of finance's subordinates who shared her hatred, intercepted an open area where the convoy's original route was supposed to pass...
At this time, the target suddenly disappeared...
However, Catherine's arrangement was disrupted, and Nilac was equally distressed.
After all, the map of the Empire of Light is only a rough map. Nilak is not familiar with it. At this time, he has to detour from the original route, which naturally leads to confusion. From time to time, Nilak will lose some direction and has to find a city.
, redetermine the route.
As both parties became busy, gradually, the City of Glory was getting closer and closer to Nilac! And Catherine and the others also retreated back to the City of Glory when they were unable to grasp Nilac's whereabouts!
