Quadruple split.

Chapter 56 The rain is coming
The scale of this operation is by no means small. Almost all members of the Marshallese Autonomous Army affiliated to Dieyan City came out of their nest. The situation of the Hundred Regular Army is also relatively rare for the Violet Empire. After all, when the political situation is relatively stable, the power controllers seldom fight outside the negotiating table.

As for secret fights, it's quite common... Who can blame me for being pushed into the alley by a few big guys with sacks...

The large force has been assembled near the border, and another one-tenth of the small force is responsible for cross-border reconnaissance. The specific task is to search for places where prisoners may be held on the border of Fire Claw Territory and release them while causing chaos as much as possible. Signal.

The Fenrir team is one of them, and four other teams with strong comprehensive strength received the above tasks. They will infiltrate and investigate the border of the Fire Claw Territory from several different locations.

As the captain, Ned was in charge of formulating the travel plan and moving route, while the specific station and formation during the process were arranged by Mo Tan, which was a task that the former forcibly assigned him.

"If there is a battle, everyone, including me, will follow your command." Ned nodded to Motan: "You have to be a little stressed."

At this time, the six people had crossed the border and officially came to the sphere of influence of the Fire Claw Territory. Although the surrounding scenery did not change, everyone could not help but get nervous. After all, accidents may happen every second. It is impossible to say that there is no pressure at all...

Except for Ned and Salazar, who were relatively calm, Yinna, Crabbe, and the two players gradually began to enter a state of high vigilance, guarding against the danger that may appear at any time.

"Relax a little." Mo Tan, who was also very nervous, said softly to the crowd: "Krabbe, your position is a bit too forward, do you have any thoughts on Salazar's ass? Yinna is a little slower, At least let us see your back, otherwise we won't be able to support you if there are any traps."

As a result, the elf ranger, who had an exceptionally sensitive hearing, became even more nervous. He almost fell over under a sudden brake, and turned his head and gave a certain priest angrily.

To be honest, Mo Tan's mental quality is not very good at the moment, but he still tries to force himself to calm down. After all, too much pressure or tension to a certain extent will cause many negative effects, such as a sharp increase in physical exertion. Excessive concentration will make you lose your attention for a while, which is not a good thing.

Since it is trusted by everyone, at least do the best you can.

He thought so...

"Hei Fan is right." Ned, who was at the front of the team with Yin Na, raised his hand to signal everyone to take a break for a while, then turned around and smiled: "Our mission is just investigation, and it stands to reason that it may not happen. What kind of conflict, places like the border are not suitable for living in the first place, and I have never heard that Fire Claw has information about garrisoning troops nearby, maybe in the end there is nothing at all."

Salazar said abruptly from the side: "But the orcs we encountered before were obviously warriors from the Fire Claws, and they just crossed the line that time."

"And last night they rushed into our side to kill and loot!" Crabbe cracked his hands and gasped, "God knows if those people are crazy."

Yin Na, who unscrewed the water bag and took a sip, also sighed: "It's okay to bring the plundered people, or prisoners, the movement speed will definitely not be too fast, maybe they really may have secretly established a stronghold on the border. Not sure."

"Uh..." Ned was stunned for a moment, then nodded in frustration: "What you said makes sense, if the Fire Claw Leader really did that kind of thing, then it's really not the time to be blindly optimistic, but Everyone, don't be too nervous, some things...you still have to see it believing..."

Everyone was stunned, and then they felt that something was wrong with their captain, and in fact Ned himself didn't even know what he was talking about.

His appearance seems a little haggard. If you look closely, you can find two faint dark circles under the eyes. He feels that he has not had much rest at all. Although he can still give people a feeling of high spirits most of the time, the tiredness that is occasionally revealed is also real. It is clear……

"Captain." Yin Na said softly, "Why don't we stay here for a few hours and then retreat. There will be a lot of six of us in this operation."

Salazar nodded, and succinctly agreed: "Agree."

Crabbe didn't say anything, but shrugged and said he was fine.

Mo Tan also opened his mouth, just about to speak...

"No!" Ned categorically vetoed: "I'm fine, this operation is about the lives of many people, if it does, then we must do our best to do what we need to do, not now. When you're lazy!"

"But..." Yin Na seemed to want to say something else.

"I agree with the captain's point of view." Futaba, who had been silent since not long ago, suddenly said: "This incident is too strange. If we want to know the truth, we must continue the mission."

Salazar tilted his neck and asked indifferently, "What's wrong?"

Others also cast their inexplicable eyes on this girl who didn't talk much, waiting for the next sentence.

But Mo Tan nodded thoughtfully.

"The Marshall and Fire Claws, who have been peaceful and never rubbed together, suddenly have frequent accidents." Futaba pushed his glasses: "This is not normal at first, the Randian team, which was just a routine patrol, was suddenly caught in his own territory. Is it reasonable to consider it as 'missing' and to have the upper management use a large team to find it just after a short time of returning home?"

[Perhaps for 'Cordova must die'? 】

Mo Tan spit out a groove in his heart...

Crabbe touched his big nose: "Is it unreasonable?"

"Unreasonable." Salazar had already reacted and shook his head: "At that time, the Randian team only lost contact for less than two hours, and they were immediately announced as missing and an emergency search order was issued. This is indeed true. It's very wrong, knowing that we have been late a lot of times, it should not be a big deal..."

Yin Na looked at Salazar with a look of surprise: "Wow!!"

The Lizardman monk blinked: "What's wrong?"

"It's the first time I've seen you talk so much in one breath!" Yin Na exclaimed excitedly, "I thought you had a terminal illness that would kill you if you spoke more than fifty words at a time."

Salazar: "..."

"And then?" Ned stopped the elf ranger from interrupting, and looked at Futaba with burning eyes: "Anything else?"

"Are your heads solid? Futaba reluctantly said: "Of course there are, for example, the above judgment that seems to be overreacting turned out to be correct. When we arrived, the Randian team was completely destroyed, and we almost took our lives. Go in, and the enemy is the regular warrior of the fire claw collar. "

Mo Tan nodded and added at this time: "And those guys are very hostile to us."

"That's right." Shuangye narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, with a playful smile at the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "Then this matter ended after the captain reported it, and it didn't take a few days. Don't you think it's strange that people from the Fire Claw Leader came over overnight to burn, kill and loot?"

Yin Na was taken aback by what Shuangye said, and finally nodded dumbly: "I didn't think so, it seems strange to hear you say that."

Ned also seemed to have a lot of energy, and nodded again and again.

And Mo Tan looked strangely at Futaba, whose aura seemed to have broken through one meter six...

"The only remaining witness was well protected, and the information provided was unconditionally trusted." Futaba tapped his lips lightly with his index finger: "The detailed death toll, the rapid response measures, the slightest Military action without regard for political influence, public opinion spread to the whole city in a short period of time...hehe..."

There was some kind of fiery light in the girl's eyes, and she smiled: "I'm really interested~"

"Uh..." Yin Na was taken aback by the mysterious aura of Futaba, and then she jumped over lightly and rubbed the other's little face: "Sister Futaba is so handsome!"

"Hmm! Liwa Swish Spicy Kai!" The chaotic girl mage struggled to resist, but she was still bullied with no temper.

Ned came over and slipped Yinna aside, smiled at everyone: "Go on!"

Mo Tan noticed that his condition seemed to be much better than before.

And there is...

The girl next to her who was gently rubbing her cheeks seemed to let him see another self just now...

"Let's go." Mo Tan temporarily put the mess behind him, and then began to instruct everyone: "Yin Na walks in the front, but don't go beyond the fifteen-meter radius with the captain as the center, Futaba. Follow the captain, Salazar on the right, I on the left, Crabbe behind..."

The Fenrir team began to advance again.

……

Marshallese, near the border
The soldiers of the Autonomous Army have completed building a simple station. At this time, they are resting around in small groups. The second search group has also set off not long ago, and some senior officers are in the crowd that is not dense. Shuttle back and forth, constantly issuing the next orders and arrangements.

In the center of the station, a thin middle-aged man was squatting on a temporarily moved map table, his viper-like eyes constantly wandering among the soldiers of the autonomous army in the distance.

He has short gray hair, wears a set of faded leather armor, and there is a scar on his face that extends from the temples to the chin, making his originally elegant face look a little hideous.

"Sir, the second search team has already set off." Lizardman officer Gart stood behind the man respectfully, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "According to the established plan, the third search team will be in..."

"Forget it." The man muttered suddenly.

"Huh?" Gart was stunned for a moment: "You just said..."

The middle-aged man stood up, raised his hands and stretched his body, and then turned back with a gentle smile: "I said forget it, there is no need to send a third group of people."

Gadot nodded and asked again, "Then the follow-up..."

hiss!
A bloodstain appeared on his face, and the Lizardman's originally defensive scales didn't play a half role. The slight coolness accompanied by a faint sting made Gart's eyes widen in horror.

"Your efficiency is really bad." The middle-aged man who lightly licked the blood on his fingertips chuckled and shook his head: "I've already lost a lot of time on the road, if it goes on like this, let's not talk about rescue, the corpse may be collected. It's too late, so..."

He jumped off the map table, turned and patted Gart's cheek: "The planned plan is canceled, I'll leave now, you and the rest just wait here, understand?"

"Yes... yes!" Gart immediately trembled: "I follow your instructions."

"I was going to take revenge with one arrow." The man was playing with the silver blade that appeared between his fingers at an unknown time, but his calm tone contained a cold killing intent: "Now, I have waited. Too late..."

The coldness gradually receded, and when Gart raised his head shaking all over, the man had disappeared.

The lizardman officer who was frightened out of white sweat shuddered, and quickly found his adjutant and asked him to inform the rest of the plan that the next plan was temporarily cancelled, and then immediately walked to an unnoticed corner and took out a paper. pen, after writing a few lines on it, put it on an ice blue tray.

……

Firepaw Collar, Frontier
Kalonguyi, who had been leaning quietly on the stone chair, suddenly felt uneasy for no reason and stood up abruptly.

"Lord Caron?" The orc officer next to him looked at him cautiously and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter..."

Cuaron narrowed his blood-red eyes and said solemnly, "Is there any new news from the chief?"

"Yes." The other party smiled bitterly: "The chief has sent a messenger for the third time, let's bring that bastard back as soon as possible, and..."

"What else?"

"What about the caravan over there?" The officer glanced at the south side of the camp and whispered, "We can't keep them here forever, can we?"

In that direction, there were about twenty people gathered with gloomy faces, all decently dressed, with a few mules and horses and a cart of goods beside them.

Caron sat back again, closed his eyes, and hummed: "We will naturally let them go when we leave. At this time, it is unfortunate for these people to be busy doing business across the border. What about detaining them for a few days?"

"Yes." The officer's answer seemed weak, and then he spread his hands: "But these people are quite edible. Most of the prey we hunt these days are..."

"To shut up!"

"Yes……"

"Wait another day, if there is still no movement there..." Caron's eyes flashed a stern look, and he looked at the cage not far away: "Just kill this guy, we can just go back with his head. ."

……

Ten minutes later, a slim figure appeared on a nearby treetop.

"Target found!"
