The red light flickered behind the wall for a moment and then disappeared, because the information given by Miss Nightingale ended here. After all, the spell did not give any detection ability, but only improved the accuracy and speed of information exchange.
But even so, it is enough for people to get enough details - four people, walking normally, the first two people have heavier steps and should be more powerful characters, the last person is a ranger, and as for the middle one, there is not much information.
Good analysis.
Fang Yu patted Wu Xiaopang on the shoulder and said to the latter in sign language: "Hide it." At that moment, he only felt a little subtle, as if he had mastered this skill naturally.
The little fat man immediately passed on the words in sign language.
Everyone moved quickly and quietly hid in the corners on both sides of the cave.
Miss Naturalist opened the big book, silently cast a spell, and constructed an imaginary wall to block everyone. From the outside, it seemed as if the stone walls on both sides of the cave were thickened by one layer each, but because of the symmetry between the left and right
, it’s not easy to see without looking carefully.
The sound of rustling footsteps approached quickly. The steps were neither fast nor slow. It didn't look like they had discovered a foreign enemy invasion and were rushing there - or they were cautious and vigilant. Along with the footsteps, there was even a whisper of conversation ahead.
.
It was a local dialect, mixed with strong local pronunciation, like a low mutter of unknown meaning, which made people frown, but a voice rang in Fang Plover's heart:
"I heard from Alimu that there is a new batch of good girls at the Gray Tower Hotel."
"They went to town again?"
"Don't worry, if you wait a few more days, it will be our turn to go to town..."
"It's all because of those damn bastard wandering alchemists. We had a bye last time. I'm going to go crazy if I stay here any longer."
"Come on, this place is better than the island anyway."
Fang Plover turned his head slightly and looked at Miss Tata who appeared on his shoulder. Her mouth opened and closed, but the sound she made was in his heart.
She was now under the effect of the 'invisibility spell', and only he could see it. However, Fang Pulver couldn't help but find it a bit interesting to hear her serious imitation of the vulgar conversation between the two without changing her expression.
Although the words were vulgar, Miss Tata also imitated the other party's tone meticulously, but it was not annoying, but rather cute.
Tata turned her emerald-like eyes and looked at him with a flash in her eyes: "Mr. Knight, are you listening?"
Fang Plover nodded of course.
The two people who came were strong characters walking in front, each carrying a huge scimitar behind them - the scimitar was also a type of two-handed sword in Istania, so the two of them could also be seen.
He was a great swordsman or heavy swordsman - when the two of them walked out, no one else appeared behind them. They walked forward for a while, and then there was a man with a turban on his head, wearing a gray robe, holding a staff, and his skin
The wizard, who was as wrinkled as an orange peel, walked out from behind.
Fang Plover recognized the profession of this wizard—Snake Mage, a branch of magicians that prefers illusions and is very common in Istania.
Behind the old wizard, Fang Plover did not see the position of the other ranger.
He looked at Alyssa, and Miss Nightingale quietly pointed in a direction to him. A red spot immediately lit up in the darkness, located behind a stalagmite in the distance.
Fang Yu nodded again. The four guards were divided into three groups, each with a distance of twenty feet. It seemed that although the other party was not aware of the intruder, they still maintained a basic sense of vigilance. There were no four people walking together.
They can take advantage of it.
However, this would cause trouble for their surprise attack. Fang Plover thought for a moment and then made a gesture to Wu Xiaopang not far away:
"Let them pass."
Wu Xiaopang was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood Fang Plover's intention.
He thought for a moment and asked in sign language:
"What if they find us?"
Fang Yu pointed at himself: "Leave it to me, Ranger. You go and entangle the old wizard. Our people are divided into two groups and deal with the two great swordsmen respectively."
While in the team channel, he gave orders to Box, Parker, Alyssa and Luo Hao, assuming that they entered into a battle, who should be their respective targets. As for Luo Yu and Jita, as casters, they can adapt to changes and act as supporters on the battlefield.
character of.
Everyone understood and nodded.
The little fat man over there also conveyed his meaning. The people in Lufu's Shield were relatively low-level and could not play much role in such a battle. However, relying on the number of people to swarm up, it was still possible to suppress the enemy mages from casting spells.
"Try to catch them alive."
Fang Plover added another sentence.
Aitaria is a world with the ability to resurrect, so this is often taken into consideration when formulating tactics - the resurrection time is usually a quarter of an hour, and the time for conveying the message is unknown - the words of the selector are only a few minutes, and the aborigines
It may be longer.
However, the natives can transmit information through the chosen ones, and even if it is not possible, there is a communication crystal. Theoretically, it will not take more than half an hour at the latest.
In other words, forty-five minutes is the longest time from resurrection to the transmission of the 'attack' message.
But it's entirely possible earlier -
To be more strict, it is generally considered to be twenty-five minutes as an average.
In other words, unless they can completely ignore the trouble caused by identity exposure, or can complete the task within half an hour, it is best not to easily choose to kill the opponent's patrol.
Stunning is a good choice because the process from coma to awakening and then to escape from captivity usually takes far longer than forty-five minutes, and can even last from several hours to a day.
wait.
However, in a close battle, this speed is often difficult to control, and you may have to get yourself involved if you are not careful.
Therefore, Fang Plover uses the word "as much as possible" instead of "must".
While the two sides were communicating in sign language, the two great swordsmen had already approached. They did not notice anything strange around them, and were still talking to themselves. Fang Yu listened to Miss Tata's quiet translation, and the two of them were discussing something.
Things that are not nutritious occasionally reveal some useful keywords.
For example, the two men mentioned previously that they took turns going to the town. It seems that although the blind followers withdrew from their station in Tansniel Port, they did not completely abandon this place. In fact, they still secretly stationed here, and often
Infiltrate the town.
Either to gather information, or just to have fun as these two people described.
This was something beyond Fang Piao's expectation. The boldness of the blind follower was beyond his imagination. What was the reason for the other party to do this?
There are always people who will do anything if there are relevant benefits, especially for these cultists.
The other party also mentioned terms such as 'wandering alchemist' and 'island'. Unfortunately, it was difficult to judge from the tone of the two people's voices what the wandering alchemist's status was among the blind followers, or what connection he had with the blind followers.
As for the 'island' the two of them were talking about, Fang Yu was even more confused.
It was Miss Tata who reminded him that the ‘island’ here might refer to the Ksayizhu Islands——
The Ksayili Archipelago is the largest floating island chain in the south of Istania. It starts from the Misty Fjord in the north and reaches Nognes in the south. In fact, Ms. Erna’s hometown is in this island chain, and
The origin of the Bairn War - the small island that suddenly emerged from the sea and then disappeared, was also at the southern end of this island chain.
As an ignorant place on the border of the kingdom, dark beliefs were once popular on the island, and it was also one of the origins of blind followers' beliefs.
In the Corin-Ithurian Kingdom, Istania has repeatedly wiped out the dark forces on the archipelago, but with little success. Even the largest ethnic group on the island, the Djinns, have only recently converted to the kingdom - this is also
It can be regarded as the greatest progress in a century.
But even among the genii, there are many deep-rooted 'ancient' beliefs.
The two great swordsmen walked over while talking in low voices, and then the old wizard also walked over.
Fang Yu couldn't help but reach out to his information crystal. If he wanted to launch an attack, now was the best opportunity. The caster's spells required considerable preparation time, but he was often the primary threat in a battle.
If this snake mage is dealt with first, this battle will be much easier.
But in this way, it is easy to escape the ranger hiding in the dark——
He finally thought about it and decided not to move.
The old wizard also walked over slowly.
Then the ranger came into view. He was wearing a tattered gray cloth cloak, carrying a long bow, and a scimitar hanging from his waist. His skin was dark, and his face was smeared with colorful paint, and the two most conspicuous
He has white war lines on his cheeks, a serious expression, and a proud look with his arms folded, like the Duke tribe in the desert, a nation rich in hunters and warriors.
The other person lowered his head and moved forward slowly, but halfway there, he suddenly stopped and looked around nervously.
When Fang Yu saw this scene, he couldn't help tensing up his nerves and subconsciously held his breath.
Most of the others' reactions at this moment were similar.
The ranger looked suspicious, turned around and said to his companion: "Wait a minute."
The three people in front stopped and turned to look at him:
"What's wrong?"
"Is this place a little different from before?" the Duke ranger asked in a cold tone.
"It's different?" The two great swordsmen looked around in confusion: "What's different?"
The old wizard raised his eyelids and glanced in this direction, but he didn't seem to be very interested in it. After taking a look, he lowered his eyelids again.
Everyone held their weapons, and Fang Pliance even tightened the strings. He was not afraid of the ranger coming to test, because the naturalist's spell was a real illusion, and even if the other party touched it with his hands, he could feel the physical existence.
Moreover, this illusory rock wall also has the physical properties of a normal rock wall and has the ability to unilaterally isolate sounds. But the problem is, if the other party realizes the possibility of 'illusion' and insists on using detection magic.
Then they will be exposed.
And it seems that the other party has this intention.
"What exactly is the problem?" the two great swordsmen asked.
"not sure."
The Duke ranger shook his head, but insisted: "But my feeling is not wrong, there must be something wrong with this place."
Fang Yu was so angry that he wanted to shoot this guy to death immediately. You clearly don't know, so why are you still talking about it? Is there something wrong with your brain? To be honest, if he can avoid fighting, he doesn't really want to fight with this patrol.
A conflict occurs.
In that case, their confidence in infiltrating would be even greater.
Apparently the two great swordsmen had the same idea as Fang Yu: "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Nigger, you people are all suspicious guys."
But the Duke ranger didn't even look at the two of them. He only said to the old wizard: "Mr. Albany."
When Fang Yu heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a flash of determination in his heart. It seemed that this battle was inevitable. He was about to raise his hand to signal to others - but at this time, everyone heard "Buzz"
'A voice came.
The two great swordsmen and the old wizard looked in that direction at the same time——
"There's someone!" The two great swordsmen shouted and immediately rushed out in that direction.
The old wizard took a step slower, looked back at the Duke ranger, and walked in that direction.
Only the Duke ranger himself looked suspiciously at the direction where Fang Plover and others were hiding, and finally took off his long bow and walked out.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know where the previous sound came from, they finally escaped. Jita subconsciously wanted to lift the spell, but Fang Plover reached out to hold her shoulders and held her down.
At the same time, he made a silent gesture to everyone.
Everyone was stunned and were about to ask in sign language.
But suddenly, a figure turned out from the direction the other party left - it was the cold ranger of the Duke clan. The other person's patterned face looked around suspiciously, frowned, and confirmed that he found nothing.
Then he turned around and walked back.
Everyone almost froze.
Especially Wu Xiaopang, he just wanted to feel lucky.
He opened his mouth and asked silently: "Will they come back?"
But this time Alyssa said directly: "Don't be nervous, the other party has gone far."
Fang Plover also nodded.
After hearing this, Jita immediately lifted the spell.
Wu Xiaopang then asked in surprise: "Boss, how did you know he was coming back?"
"I don't know," Fang Yu shook his head: "I guessed, just to be on the safe side."
"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Xiaopang couldn't help but patted his heart, thinking that the ups and downs in his life had come a little too fast.
The Papalar man muttered on the side:
"What does this mean? I had expected him to come back."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Xiang Xiang was very dissatisfied.
Parker looked at his best friend with his mouth wide open, his expression speechless.
Alyssa asked curiously: "The one who was outside just now was not your 'Wasp', leader?"
Fang Plover looked in that direction and shook his head slightly. Everyone could hear the sound just now. The 'buzz' sound was indeed like the sound of a clockwork fairy flapping its wings.
However, there are many things that can make similar sounds. It may not necessarily be a real clockwork fairy, or even a construct. It's just that the sound comes sooner or later, and it happens to sound at that time. Is it really just a coincidence?
But he couldn't tell what it was, and he couldn't chase it to have a look. He could only say to everyone:
"Let's not discuss this first. We have to leave this place quickly."
"Indeed, if the other party can't find anything, they will probably come back again." Alyssa also nodded.
This is what makes Fang Yu feel troublesome - although the previous voice solved the siege for a while, it will make the other party more alert and may even report the matter. In that case, it will not affect their next mission.
is good news.
So for now they'd better hurry up.
"Wait a minute," Wu Xiaopang also realized the problem at this time: "After we leave now, when they come back, won't they find that this place is different?"
"This is simple," Luo Yu replied: "I use earth elemental magic to shape an outer wall, and then Jita uses modification magic to change its appearance."
Jita also nodded: "Well, if it's just a modification spell, I can maintain it for a long time."
"Then you stay to complete the spell first," Fang Yu replied. Time is running out now, and it is unlikely to stay and wait for them: "Alyssa, Luo Hao, you stay to protect Luo Yu and Jita."
All four nodded.
After Fang Pliant assigned the task, he led everyone to move forward. This place was close to the spiraling passage, and it was expected that he would reach the entrance at the top soon.
However, while walking on the road, he had not forgotten the previous conversation between the two great swordsmen. He turned on the communication crystal and asked in a low voice to Tian Lan who was guarding over there: "Tian Lan, ask Mr. Abed for me.
How did Her Majesty the Princess clean up this place in the first place?"
"By the way, please help me ask why they didn't directly destroy this underground cave group."
Over there, Tianlan replied, "Okay, brother Ed." Then there was a thump of footsteps running away.
But within a moment, the footsteps hurried back again: "Brother Ed, what caves are you talking about?"
"?"
Fang Yu was slightly startled, as if he realized something in his heart, and then he described the situation on his side to the other party.
Tian Lan turned around, and heard a low conversation coming from the communication crystal. It seemed that Mr. Abed had already walked over. After a while, the other party's deep voice directly rang: "Mr. Ed, what you discovered may be
A new smuggling port."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess was not able to discover this place last time. The place where you are should be at the lower level of the ridge."
Fang Yu was roughly aware of this when he heard Tianlan's tone just now. He asked, "Do you know the location of this place?"
"I can guess some," Abed replied: "Mr. Ed, do you need to mobilize Her Royal Highness the Princess's guards?"
Fang Yu pondered for a moment. Judging from the level of his previous opponents, this task was still within his ability to handle. He was worried that there would be blind followers in the city, so he only replied: "Yes, yes, but don't be too anxious. Try your best."
It’s a cover-up, so we’re not too worried right now.”
Abed said yes and thanked them on behalf of the princess.
Wu Xiaopang on the side was stunned when he heard: "Mr. Your Highness the Princess... Big boss, which Princess is it?"
"It's the eldest princess, Rupert." Fang Plover replied.
"You are accepting a mission from Her Royal Highness the Princess!?"
The little fat man almost jumped up in surprise.
But Fang Yu stopped the latter because he raised his head and saw where the flip door was.
