When Lin Xi looked closely, he found that eight scouts disguised as leaves and branches had emerged from the sky around him, and each of them aimed at him with a heavy crossbow.
If he had put it an hour ago, he could have used his external consciousness to discover these eight scouts in advance. No matter how the other party held his breath, it would be the same. But when he was distracted and anxious just now, he did not take care of the movements around him.
This is why the situation is now being besieged.
However, Lin Xi was still not nervous at all. Facing the scouts from the army, it would not be difficult to deal with them.
"Nuoqi's people." Lin Xi stood still and replied coldly, while observing the eight people twenty meters away in the blurred light.
"Damn!"
At the moment when the two sides were facing each other coldly, a sudden slutty word suddenly dissipated the hostile atmosphere without a trace.
"Lin Xi, are you?" The guy who spoke was still talking.
At this time, Lin Xi finally heard from his voice who the person was. "Fatty Wise, it's you!"
"Lin Xi, your uncle, why did you change it to this lifeless look? If I hadn't been quick and recognized your voice just now, I would have been afraid that the tragedy of brothers killing brothers in this dense forest."
A carefree voice sounded, who is not the fat Viso who has not met for a long time?
Lin Xi's originally anxious heart suddenly became happy. After all, it was a happy thing to meet a good friend whom he had not seen for a long time at this place.
But just as he was about to fight with Fatty Viso, another familiar voice rang out.
"Lin Xi, it's really you!"
Lin Xi was even more excited and hurriedly walked forward and said as he walked: "Kokan, I didn't expect you to come too, haha, this is really great!"
In addition to Anthony who is still at Chulin Academy, Kokan and Viso are Linxi's best brothers. When they saw each other at once, Linxi was naturally happy.
But at this moment, despite being happy and excited, Lin Xi still did not forget the task of his trip. Therefore, after the hug, he just greeted him briefly and enthusiastically, and Lin Xi was about to leave.
"Kokan, Viso, why are you lurking in Apomato's territory and carrying out the mission?" Before leaving, Lin Xi asked the last question.
Immersed in the warm atmosphere of the brothers meeting, the two and Lin Xi had already lowered their bodies and hid in the dense forest, and their voices were also low, so that they would not let outsiders discover them. As for the remaining six scouts, of course, they were also
They all heard of Lin Xi's heroic deeds in the Northern Legion, so apart from lurking seriously, they did not blame Lin Xi for disturbing their mission.
However, Lin Xi knew the responsibilities and discipline of the Northern Legion, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible and did not want to make the soldiers who were carrying out the mission embarrassed.
But when he heard Lin Xi’s question, even the big and thick-spoken Viso, who was used to hip-hop, rarely changed from a smiling face to a bitter face, and seemed very worried.
"What's going on? What's the problem?" Lin Xi saw Viso's expression and knew that something was wrong. Not to mention his feelings for Visokokan, he had always had a heart for the Northern Legion.
I was worried and had a true feeling, so I naturally didn't want to see the soldiers from the Northern Legion frown when they encountered trouble.
"Our leader has not come back yet." Weisuo said helplessly.
"You mean Commander Marton." Lin Xi refers to the current commander of the Heavy Knights Regiment, General Marton.
"Yeah." Weisso nodded, with a deep worry in his low voice, "Captain Marton personally led our elite squad to ambush in Apomato's territory, in order to ensure that the latest movements of the enemy country were detected as soon as possible
But at noon, Commander Marton suddenly left us with instructions to stand by on standby and disappeared. He originally thought that he had discovered some important information that needed to be followed secretly, and would naturally come back after completing the mission, but he knew that it was almost heaven.
It's dark, but the leader is still missing."
Lin Xi also frowned after hearing this.
Of course he knew that even the Heavy Knights regiment sent elite soldiers, and the regiment commander personally led the team to investigate and inquire about the news. It was indeed the first time when the Holy See was besieged by the Holy See, the enemy country Apomato was immediately cleared.
The movement is a military need and the need for the millions of civilians behind Wuweicheng, which was stationed in the Northern Legion.
"Then the other reconnaissance teams did not find it?" Lin Xi asked. During the previous marching, he discovered several groups of secretly lurking in unknown identity. Now, I think that there must be the Northern Legion scouts among them.
"No intelligence came from the brothers' investigation unit in front." Kokan took the conversation and said, "Our stop is the closest to the border line, and the regiment commander left Apomato from here, so,
If other investigative units did not find it, it would indicate that the regiment commander must be in Apomato and did not bypass us and return to the rear."
"Wait a minute, General Marton has a lot of experience in the battlefield and is very strong, so he will not encounter any disaster so easily. I had come along the dense forest from Apomato, seventeen miles away, along the way
I didn't see any fighting or a suspicious master, so General Marton must still be carrying out a mission in a secret place, and I couldn't get away for a while and couldn't come back."
Lin Xi was busy comforting her, and also believed that this was the reason why General Marton had not shown up for a long time.
"What Linxi analyzed is that in addition to observing the movements and stills of the enemy country, we can only wait. By the way, Linxi, why did you return to this place from Apomato?" Kokan asked immediately.
Originally, the matter about the guards transporting magic crystal long-range cannons was a top secret. Even if anyone is familiar, it cannot be disclosed. But now Viso and the others have been staying here since the morning. Maybe they found something but it is not certain.
, if you can get something useful from here, it is very valuable.
Besides, Lin Xi doesn’t have to explain this top-secret task clearly in front of his friends, he just needs to ask vaguely.
"Viso, Kokan, have you ever found a hunting team of more than 40 people here? They are all dressed in ordinary hunters?"
"No, although this place is not dangerous and has not penetrated deep into the hinterland of the dense forest, occasionally there are monsters that appear. Besides, there are also swamps and poisonous snakes. Hunters generally do not follow this path, but like Yusi
It is possible to have a hunting team composed of more than ten people, but unfortunately, I didn’t find it.”
Weisuo talked for a long time, but it was still not.
Lin Xi was a little disappointed, so he was about to get up and say goodbye, and continued to search for the whereabouts of the guards in the direction of Apomato. At this time, Kokan seemed to have remembered something, and looked at Fatty Wise and said, "Fatty, we are in No.
Haven’t you seen such a hunting team in tattered clothes in the territory? Commander Marton asked us to ignore it."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes," Weisuo slapped his fat head and said in annoyance: "Why did I forget this? That's the case. At that time, the team was hunting less than 100 meters away from us.
The place was struggling on a road that no one had walked. Our team leader wanted to go up and interrogate, but was stopped by the regiment commander and said that the people who came out of the Nuoqi Empire would not be our enemy."
Lin Xi was naturally very happy. Of course, he understood that Commander Marton must have received the order from His Majesty Jason at the same time. This time, he sent a large number of scouts to detect the movements of the enemy country, and actually had a deep purpose.
It is to protect the safety of these guards.
According to what Kocan and Viso described, it is speculated based on time that forty guards should indeed enter Apomato from the border, but why did they not find any traces of them carefully investigated along the way?
"Fatty, your people didn't find their traces again?" Lin Xi immediately asked. Because the place where Fatty and the others were lurking was not far from the guards' path, I think the senior leaders of the Northern Legion had also thought about it carefully.
of.
"No, I didn't find it, it's always been good here, except for you suddenly entering." Weisso replied.
"Can the guards actually encountered irresistible danger in the territory of the Nuoqi Empire?" When Lin Xi thought of this possibility, his face became very ugly.
Before, he inferred from time, distance and common sense that the guards would never stay in the territory of the Nuoqi Empire, but according to Viso and his description, coupled with the fact that he carefully searched along the way but found nothing, the guards are still in the territory of the Nuoqi.
There is a very high possibility of a certain location.
"Viso, Kokan, I still have urgent matters. If you have the chance to get together again in the future, I have to leave now. By the way, I must keep my breath lurking down. I believe General Marton will come back safely."
You're welcome, after speaking, Lin Xi stood up and ran quickly towards the Nuoqi Empire.
In only half an hour, the forest would fall into darkness, and he had to find the missing forty guards during this period.
