Chapters 253 to 254 Accidental Discovery
Chapters 253 to 254: An unexpected discovery
After leaving the Holy Light City, you can see a black army at the end of the plain that is marching in line. In front is a knight army wearing silver armor, and behind is a brigade of archers wearing black and white chain mail and riding red horses. The number is at least tens of thousands. These knights and archers are neatly in appearance. When approaching this army, a solemn and solemn aura hits the face, making people feel shocked.
"These are the troops we want to cooperate with. The commander of this army will issue us task orders to investigate the enemy situation and leave them to us for completion." Tian Kuang said.
Looking at the neat military appearance of these knights and archers, Xiao Ling and his men were a little relieved, because no matter how their mission was completed, if the battle between the knight and archers army failed, it would be determined that Xiao Ling and his men failed. If the failure was not the fault of Xiao Ling and his men, Xiao Ling and his men would not be punished for any failure, but would lose all the mission rewards.
"Look at it." Mu Lin said, pointing to the front of the Knights' Legion array. Everyone looked in the direction Mu Lin pointed out. There was a tall knight wearing golden battle armor in front of the Knights' array. Several mages and priests gathered around him.
"That wearing golden armor should be an epic hero. It seems to be an epic hero with a knight profession." Tian Kuang said.
There are great differences between heroes and soldiers. Holy Dragon Knights, Holy Mages and even War Angels. No matter how powerful they are, they are just some powerful combat powers, which are essentially different from heroes. Holy Dragon Knights, Holy Mages and even War Angels are the tactical power of a country. Their strength can control a battle, while heroes are the strategic power of a country. What they control is a war.
Heroes are the leaders of a legion. They are responsible for leading the legion to fight in the north and south. A powerful hero can greatly improve the combat power of a legion and even allow his legion to exert several times his own combat power. They are absolute leaders. Whether they are heroes in the combat or mage, they have learned various tactics, defense, offensive techniques, leadership techniques, spells, etc. from an early age. Although their own strength is not strong, their existence is of great significance to a legion. A powerful hero of eighty or ninety level can even defeat a legion composed of senior soldiers led by a low-level hero.
In legion combat, a low-level spearman defeats a high-level terror knight, and such a thing is also possible, because with the blessing of various halos of a powerful hero, the strength of a low-level spearman can skyrocket to an extremely terrifying level.
"Tell you good news." Tian Kuang put the bloody, Xiao Ling and others on the multi-person chat list, and said with a smile, "The latest news is that we will be incorporated into this legion in this combat mission, and the halo of the epic hero Stirens will also be effective for us."
Xiao Ling and the others were stunned for a moment, then showed an excited expression. The halo of the epic hero is not something you can enjoy casually. Although you don’t know the specific effect, Xiao Ling and the others know that the halo of the epic hero is absolutely extraordinary.
"Isn't it a joke?" asked Yuxue. The news was amazing.
"Of course it's true. Elasia Presbyterian Church just sent me a message. Let's enjoy the powerful attributes of the level 40 elites." Tian Kuang smiled mysteriously, then his eyes turned cold, and he said, "If you can be surrounded by the Mad Dragon Team in the mission, it would be interesting." With the support of the powerful halo of the epic hero, everyone's attributes increased sharply. According to Tian Kuang, after the rapid increase, the elite with the strength of the level 40 will be no less than that of the level 40. If the Mad Dragon Team is encircled by the Mad Dragon Team at this time, it will be the beginning of the defeat of the Mad Dragon Team. No matter how powerful the equipment of the Mad Dragon Team is, it will not be as blessed by the epic heroes Xiao Ling and others. Of course, Tian Kuang and others cannot leave the battlefield, otherwise, he really wants to take the team to find the Mad Dragon Team.
This task is the same as the demonic task Xiao Ling received, which greatly increases the strength of the task executor and allows the task executor to meet the requirements of the task execution.
"Yuelong, the affiliated team of the Kuanglong team, suddenly disappeared and broke away from our surveillance." Yuntian said to Tiankuang.
Tian Kuang showed a clear expression. Yuelong's sudden disappearance was probably coming to him and his group. Yuelong and Demon Dragon are two affiliated teams of Mad Dragon and are also very strong. If any of the players in Yuelong and Demon Dragon have surpassed a certain player in the Mad Dragon team, they can directly enter the Mad Dragon team, and the players who retreated from the Mad Dragon team enter the Moon Dragon or Demon Dragon. Moreover, Yuelong and Demon Dragon often cooperate with the Mad Dragon actions. Whether in terms of skills or equipment level, Yuelong and Demon Dragon are both among the top teams in the Angel League.
Tian Kuang smiled faintly, and had some plans in his mind. After encountering Yuelong, he would submit an application to Stirance to Stirance. Tian Kuang thought that if he submitted an application to enter the legion now, then Tian Kuang and his men could enjoy the halo will be exposed. The spy ambushed in the team told the Kuanglong team that the Kuanglong team would be prepared. After encountering Yuelong team, he would submit an application to enter the legion and enjoy the halo of the epic hero, everyone could catch the Yuelong team off guard and even wipe out the entire team.
Yuntian and Tiankuang and others planned in detail the steps to plot against the Yuelong team. Xiao Ling and others improved the details a little. They buried the plan in their hearts. Except for Xiao Ling, Tiankuang, Yuntian, Yuyu, Qixiao, Ye Luo, Wuyan and Wuyan, they did not tell others, nor did they even tell Yunyi and Muye. It was not that they did not trust them, but that the fewer people knew about this, the better. Yunyi and Muye were too straightforward. If they let it go, all their efforts would be wasted.
The knight legions and archers legions in front suddenly moved, and tens of thousands of horses walked around at the same time, and the whole earth shuddered.
The golden-armored knight named Stirance raised the knight's gun in his hand, and a sensational pressure surged out from him. All the restless war horses calmed down, lowered their heads, and tens of thousands of troops became silent.
The skeleton war horse that Xiao Ling rode trembled, took a few steps back, and a few breaths of heavy breaths were sprayed out from his nose.
Xiao Ling felt the fear of the skeleton war horse, and patted the skeleton war horse's back, "Old guy, don't be afraid."
The skeleton war horse seemed to understand Xiao Ling's words, and stood firm with difficulty, as if he was fighting the fear in his heart.
"Great warriors, you are the most devout believers of the true god Thelmes. The great true god will protect you. For the devout faith in your heart, for our country, for the glory of our knights, we will drive darkness out of our land. Warriors, fight, and defend your dignity with weapons and blood." Stirens said in a deep voice, his voice was not heavy, but it penetrated the entire grassland and echoed in everyone's ears for a long time.
"Roar! For the glory of the knights." The knights raised the knight's guns in their hands and roared. The roars of the knights were like thunder, resounding throughout the grassland.
Immediately after the horses neighed, Stirens rushed forward with his riding first. Then, countless horses behind followed closely, and a huge square array moved up. Countless horses stepped on the ground, moving in an orderly manner, and the earth was shaking for a while. The huge vibration made Xiao Ling and his men almost fall off the horse. It took a lot of effort to hold the restless mount. The power created by tens of thousands of cavalry was indeed extraordinary.
"Let's go too." Tian Kuang said, looking at the Knights' Legion moving forward quickly in front.
This knight army will surround Finanzesi and will launch a siege soon. Before that, Tiankuang and his men will receive one mission after another, and there may be a sneak attack from the Yuelong team. They must be prepared.
Xiao Ling and his men urged the horses under them, and the crowd galloped into the distance, following the knight army.
After nearly two hours of speeding forward, Xiao Ling and his friends finally saw a city located in the canyon.
Finanzes is a small city. Its walls are only more than ten meters high and are completely made of stones, but in fact they are all unsharpened stones. They are just simple piles. Such a wall cannot stop the archers' rain of arrows, but it is enough to stop the impact of the knights. This small city has always been a place for military strategists, because this canyon is a major transportation route connecting Diya and Elasia. Finanzes was destroyed by war countless times and was rebuilt again. The extremely prosperous city in the past has disappeared, leaving only a small city.
The Knights' army led by Stirens was stationed outside the canyon entrance and faced the small town of Firens. What surprised Xiao Ling and others was why Stirens didn't raid directly at Firens? Isn't this giving the enemy time to react?
Although it was puzzled, Xiao Ling and the others could not control Stirens' decision, so they could only wait for the task issued by Stirens.
"We just received the task, let's go." Tian Kuang said, without explaining the content of the task in detail. Under Tian Kuang's leadership, everyone entered the canyon from a path halfway up the mountain.
The towering trees were everywhere, making the path darker.
There were some five-colored flower snakes wandering on this road, all of which were ordinary monsters of level 50. Tian Kuang led everyone to clean up while rushing in.
"Styrans seemed to want to clear out this path and then launch a sneak attack on the small town of Feinanzesi." Tian Kuang killed an anemic five-color flower snake with a Holy Light Trial and said, "Look for an opportunity to let the black snake or mechanical gargoyle go behind to ambush and see if anyone is following."
"Okay." Xiao Ling replied. Compared to mechanical gargoyles, black snakes are easier to hide. Xiao Ling decided to let the black snake go behind and stare at whether there is a team to follow.
Xiao Ling also maintained his output and summoned the black snake. Under Xiao Ling's control, the black snake penetrated into the grass and disappeared in the woods next to him. Xiao Ling was very careful when doing this action and was not noticed by any team members in the team.
Under Xiao Ling's control, the black snake explored the road that the team came, exploring the movements behind. This path is the only way to catch up with Xiao Ling and his men. If the Yuelong team really follows, the whereabouts of the Yuelong team can be easily detected with the black snake's keen senses and vision. When the black snake hides in the grass, no one can find its traces.
Under Tian Kuang's leadership, Xiao Ling and his men kept groping forward. After walking forward for about ten minutes, some messages were sent back from Morecato's consciousness inside the black snake, and someone followed him, with fifty numbers.
"They are indeed here, there are fifty people in total." Xiao Ling said secretly and narrowed his eyes, "They are well equipped."
"How about career allocation?" Tian Kuang asked in a low voice.
"Orthodox boss group." Xiao Ling said.
Tian Kuang thought for a while, the Yuelong team would not take action easily. They would definitely choose to take advantage of their team when their team was in danger, so that they would be confident enough to kill their team. This narrow and long path is not suitable for a large number of melee professional players to fight. Tian Kuang and the others can take advantage of it, not to mention that Tian Kuang and the others still have an ace on hand.
Tian Kuang and others looked at each other and smiled. They were digging a trap and waiting for them to get into it. When they heard that they were here, they were naturally very excited.
Xiao Ling's eyes were searching on the ground, and while the ordinary team members were not paying attention, they pinched some white powder on the ground.
"What did you find?" Seeing Xiao Ling's strange behavior, Ye Luo asked in confusion.
Xiao Ling handed some white powder to Ye Luo and said, "Look at what this is? The black snake felt it when it was crawling. There were this thing along the way, as if someone sprinkled it down on purpose."
Ye Luo picked up some white powder and sniffed it, saying, "This is a hunter's thing, called salt phosphorus, which is specially used to trap mastiff pets. Primary potions can be used to do it. Mastiff creatures are very sensitive to this kind of thing."
"Why are there such things along the way?" Xiao Ling frowned and suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up. In this dense forest, the Yuelong team may lose his group by relying on spies to convey messages or coordinates alone, but if there is salt and phosphorus, it will be very different. As long as some are sprinkled on the ground, the hunter can let his baby follow him all the way.
Xiao Ling looked at Ye Luo and wanted to tell Ye Luo what he thought.
Ye Luo whispered: "Click the black snake back, change to the mechanical gargoyle to keep an eye on it, and let the black snake find the person who sprinkled salt and phosphorus."
Ye Luo also guessed it, and his thoughts were the same as Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling smiled slightly and nodded. He could soon find the spy lurking in the team. Xiao Ling couldn't help but be excited. If he could find the spy lurking in the team, Xiao Ling and others could take the initiative in the fight with the Kuanglong team.
Under Ye Luo's cover, the mechanical gargoyle drilled into the dense forest on the roadside, and Xiao Ling transferred the black snake back. The mechanical gargoyle took over the black snake's squad, and the black snake returned to Xiao Ling's side. Under Xiao Ling's control, the black snake shuttled back and forth among the team members.
"Deputy Commander, why did you find your mechanical puppet snake? It scared me." A female team member said dissatisfiedly. She was an ordinary team member and later joined the team.
Xiao Ling smiled apologetically at the female team member. When the female team member saw Xiao Ling's expression, she lowered her head shyly, looking very disgusting.
Seeing the shy look of the female team member, Xiao Ling was slightly stunned and touched her chin with her right hand unconsciously. Could it be that she is really so handsome? Why didn’t we feel it? No wonder Hua Wu was fascinated by herself when she saw her.
"Deputy Commander, don't look at me so lustfully. I already have a boyfriend." Xiao Ling's voice sounded. It was from the female team member. After hearing the female team member's words, Xiao Ling smiled bitterly. Her apologetic eyes were actually said to be lustful. She was even more unfair than Dou E. The female team member's appearance can only be considered medium at most. How could she be interested in her?
When he was depressed, Xiao Ling's heart trembled. The black snake sent some information. It found the source of salt phosphorus, which shocked Xiao Ling. The source of salt phosphorus was two people, not one person. Kuanglong was indeed easy to plot. It was useless to keep too many people in the Tiankuang team. If there were two spies staying in the team, even if one of them was caught, there would be no big problems. Instead, it would make the other spy lurk deeper. But he would not expect the problem to appear on the powder of salt phosphorus. If it weren't for the black snake's accidental discovery, Xiao Ling and the others might never find the source of salt phosphorus. After all, this powder was too small. A magic potion master who was extremely sensitive to potions could not find such a subtle thing, let alone Xiao Ling and the others. Only the black snake could sense it. Kuanglong obviously did not have enough understanding of the black snake, and he would never have thought that the problem would actually occur on a strange mechanical puppet.
"How is it, have you found it?" Ye Luo asked.
Xiao Ling nodded and told Ye Luo about his discovery. Ye Luo frowned and sighed and said, "No matter what Tian Kuang will do, tell Tian Kuang about this discovery."
"Do you know this person from Tianqi?" Xiao Ling asked Tiankuang's voice.
When Tian Kuang heard the question asked by Xiao Ling, he was stunned for a moment and said, "He is one of my brothers. He followed me a long time ago and still entered the game together. Why? Is there any problem?"
"Do you suspect he is a spy?" Tian Kuang asked before Xiao Ling could speak, thinking for a while, "It seems unlikely. He is a person who doesn't like to talk much, but his character is pretty good. He should not be a spy. What did you find?"
"It's not just the Tianqi, but also a new member named Kuang Fei." Xiao Ling explained in detail the process of the black snake discovering salt and phosphorus and finding the end of salt and phosphorus.
Tian Kuang had a deep brow. He was not a hunter. Who would ordinary players bring such things? He would take up space with this thing. Could it be that Kuang Fei was spread to Tian Qi? It was a bit coincidental. The fact pointed to Tian Qi. Tian Qi was probably the spy lurking in the team. Xiao Ling knew that Tian Kuang must be feeling bad. The one named Kuang Fei was nothing. The other spy was actually a brother he had known for many years, which made Tian Kuang emotionally unacceptable.
"You think about it yourself and try it again. No matter what decision you make, we will not interfere. My suggestion is not to pull him out. We can also use him to convey false news to the Kuanglong." Xiao Ling said, sighing, no longer disturbing Tiankuang.
Xiao Ling believed that for the benefit of the team, Tian Kuang would make the right decision, and it was not his brother who betrayed him. Those who have always stood by him unswervingly are the real brothers, and Tian Kuang would understand.
Xiao Ling took the black snake back, and the team moved forward and arrived at a slightly open place. Lin Fei, Luanying and Mu Lin came back from the front.
Lin Fei walked to Tian Kuang's side and said, "There is a undead sentry in front of him. He should be an elite at level 50, and his profession is an archer. Your face is not very good. What happened?"
Tian Kuang sighed and said, "How long has Tian Qi followed us?"
"About five years," Lin Fei said, then frowned, noticed something, and asked, "Are you saying that Tianqi may be a spy?"
Tian Kuang told Lin Fei about Xiao Ling's discovery.
Lin Fei knew that Tian Kuang felt very uncomfortable, so she sighed and said, "You make a decision, just don't hurt the feelings of your true friends because of someone who betrayed you."
"I understand." Tian Kuang nodded. He knew what to do, but his heart was hurt.
Tian Kuang began to plan the following steps, as if he had completely forgotten what had just happened, but only he knew how painful his heart was.
