Behind a few rocks on a low slope, Zijing, Kuiwen and Emina lay there to hide their bodies. In the open space two miles ahead, the huge wooden stronghold of the Beast Bandits stood there, connecting the
The only road leading to the Stone Fortress on the top of the mountain is firmly protected.
Beast Heart's appointment is two days later, and it's not at this place. Based on the distance, Beast Heart has to rush to the negotiation location, and it has to leave tomorrow morning at the latest. So Zijin plans to follow it all the way, and then look for an opportunity to rescue Sage and others.
People are said to be rescuers, but the best thing is actually to steal them out.
"Captain, is it really appropriate to leave Hummingbird's assassin alone?"
Emina lowered her voice and asked. She had been worried about this issue. After returning to Sold from the Ferrer Mountains the morning before yesterday, she immediately learned that the deputy leader was injured by a spy suspected of being a Hummingbird Assassin, and he is probably still in a coma.
Although the news that Emina heard showed that if Beast Heart launches an attack, it should be in October three months later. However, based on the current situation analysis, Beast Heart is unlikely to have time to delay that long.
The war should start in the near future.
"As far as the current situation is concerned, the priority is the safety of the sage." Zijing squinted her eyes and stared at Muzhai, feeling that something was wrong. "I believe everyone will handle the assassin's problem well. Although Hummingbird has been rumored
It’s very powerful, but we, the Guardians of the Holy Law, are not vegetarians and cannot be shaken by just one or two people.”
"It seems that the storm has been going on for several days." Kui Wen grabbed a stone with one hand to stabilize his body, buried his head on his chest with his back to the wind, and tried to light the pipe. However, due to the fierceness of the storm, he failed for a long time. "But it took a long time."
Even so, there are too few patrol sentries on the upper floors of Muzhaiwei."
"There is another strange thing." Emina said with some worry, "It is almost dark now, but there is still no smoke from the cooking stoves. Although there is such a strong wind, the food for so many thieves is being cooked.
, it’s really impossible not to see it at all.”
"Hmm..., something is wrong." Kui Wen gave up the plan of lighting the pipe and thought, "Beast Heart originally agreed to negotiate in five days, but with the help of Emina's wind wing magic, we made it two days earlier.
We touched their base camp. But think about it carefully, if we follow the normal agreement, we are on the way to the agreed place at this time. And in order to guard against the ambush of thieves and for the safety of the sage, we will probably dispatch most of the watch group.
Important personnel, and more than half of the Watchmen..."
"No!" Zijing exclaimed, "If Beast Heart's negotiation is actually just a bait to lure our main force away from Sold. And if he quickly captures Sold during this period,
Even if we return to support then, we can't act rashly because the sage is still in his hands."
"It would be terrible if that were the case." Kui Wen said in a deep voice, "We are counting on him, and he is counting on us. But fortunately, there are only three of us here to secretly save the sage. If he pounces on Solder now,
If he finds that the entire Watch Group is defending the city, he will be devastated. But if he threatens the sage, without Little Bauhinia in charge, I'm afraid the Watch Group will have to submit."
"I think we can't wait any longer." Zi Jing was moved and said, "We must sneak into the castle immediately. First, we must find out whether the sage is still here."
Under the cover of the night and the storm, the three of them easily sneaked into the corner of the wooden village. They spread out to investigate, and when they reunited, they all found that the number of thieves patrolling the sentry was very few and it was simply a fake.
After a brief discussion, Zijing decided not to waste time. They planned to quickly detour to the side of the mountain, avoid the blind spot that Muzhai could not explore, and directly summon Zijing's griffon to fly up to the top of the mountain near the castle.
The dark night sky and the flying sand well hid the huge figure of the gryphon. The wild howling of the storm covered up the sound of the wind driven by the huge wings of the gryphon.
Swinging up from the smooth rock wall behind the castle, the griffin landed steadily on the wall built next to the cliff. The three of them jumped directly from the back of the griffon into the castle, and waved away the griffin.
, and quickly hid behind a pile of dense weeds.
After observing for a while, they felt more and more chilled. The castle looked lifeless, and there were no bright lights in the castle. Under such circumstances, their guess just now was almost true. Bauhinia even began to suspect that the sage was no longer there at all.
Inside the castle.
When Emina noticed some light coming through from the left, the three of them carefully walked around to the left side of the castle. There was a dragon house built against the wall. It was empty and there was not a single mount. However, in a compartment, there was
There was a bonfire burning, and two thieves in rags and dirty clothes sat talking in a low voice.
"It seems that the leader plans to leave and never return." One person said, "There are only a hundred old people like us left at the foot of the mountain to wait."
"If you capture Sold, you can live there happily and come back." Another person said, "We'd better pray that the leader won't forget to summon us after he succeeds."
"I'm still a little reluctant to leave here." The first person said, "Anyway, I have been here for six or seven years..."
"Look at how promising you are." The second person joked, "Solde is delicious and delicious. You can enjoy it as long as you want, thinking about what this poor place is doing. By the way, have you given food to those guys in the dungeon?
The two women inside are pretty good-looking, and the other two female dolls are a little too small, but they are also top-notch..."
"Don't even think about it!" said the first person, "I vaguely heard that that man is the twelfth sage, and those are his women. If you dare to mess around, you are not asking for death. Not to mention those two
If the stupid brothers are with them, they will go crazy."
"Who knows if he is really a sage." The second person said disapprovingly, "If he is really a sage, how could the leader not take him with him but leave him in this broken castle."
Zijin and others were overjoyed when they heard this. Although they were not sure yet, the possibility of the sage being here was extremely high. From what they said, it seemed that the guards here were sparse and there were not many people. As long as they rescued the sage and rushed back as soon as possible, because
Beast Heart is moving forward in a large group, and maybe he can reach Solde before him.
He Kuiwen nodded, and the old man already understood what she meant. He slowly took out the throwing knife from his waist, rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, feeling the strength and direction of the wind, and threw the throwing knife away.
go out.
Just as Kui Wen threw the flying knife, Zijing also immediately took action. The flying knife was accurately inserted into the vest of the second person who spoke. Before the person could even cry out in pain, he tilted his body and fell down.
Just when the other person noticed something strange, a cold dagger was pointed at his throat. A woman with long light gray and purple hair braided into a fluffy braid stood in front of him.
"Where is the dungeon?" asked Kui Wen, who came out from behind the red tree with his hands behind his back. "Don't let me ask you a second time. Detaining a sage is already a capital crime. We won't mind killing you."
