Li's path

Chapter 858

Joshua once served as the "Executor" in the largest mysterious organization in Semuria "The Snake", specializing in undercover, assassination, and related tasks against group operations, numbered XIII, code-named "Black Fang".

Although under the influence of his adoptive father Cassius and righteous sister Estier (in fact, Joshua is older), Joshua broke away from the association and became a guerrilla fighter, but the skills he honed since childhood are already Go deep into the bone marrow and become one with him.

The mission of reconnaissance and early warning for more than a month is nothing more than a small test, and now Joshua is going to show his real skills.

"I won't let you get hurt, and I won't let Hamel repeat the same mistakes!" Joshua looked in the direction of his hometown, and with his movements like green smoke, he rushed to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible.

Just like the intelligence personnel looking for a shelter, Joshua also needs to use the clues left by the intelligence personnel to find out the companions and even the leaders of these people in reverse.

The place where the incident happened is in a mess. It seems that the hunting team encountered very tenacious resistance in the process of arresting them.

The traces of the battle between the two sides were not limited to one place, but continued intermittently and extended in three directions at the same time. This shows that the intelligence personnel immediately retreated to the dispersal after being attacked.Fortunately, the hunting squad sent by "Nid Hogg" was also veterans, experienced and outnumbered, which prevented the enemy from successfully escaping.

Joshua did not feel anxious because of the messy battle traces and complicated battle routes. On the contrary, he was very calm, terrifyingly calm. The "Black Fang" who was hunting the enemy in the darkness woke up at this moment.

After surveying all the battle locations, Joshua opened the map and marked them one by one.

After some observation, he circled three locations on the map with a pen, and these three locations happened to be on the abandoned road from Ravenu Village to Hamel.

"I see, did you touch it from the supply line? That is indeed a place where it is easy to show flaws. Just in case, it is right to tilt the defense force to this side. Next."

Joshua's face was indifferent and his eyes were cold.

At the same time that Joshua was running wildly, Gideon also gathered his team.

There are a total of 15 intelligence officers who followed Gideon to the border, exactly 5 teams, corresponding to the five directions of southeast, northwest, and middle—the "middle" here refers to the protection commander Gideon.

Gideon was both surprised and delighted when he saw the northern team send out the signal flare.The joy is that the target has finally been found, and the surprise is that there are such strong defense forces around the target, even the best intelligence personnel of "League of Nobles" were forced to release the signal flares that can only be used in critical moments.

The meaning of the signal flare is not to call for help, but to inform other teams to retreat as soon as possible.The struggle on the intelligence front is cruel. Once things cannot be done, it is common for them to abandon their companions and escape alone. There are even extreme cases where they personally kill their companions to prevent information leakage.When every intelligence officer embarks on this road, he is ready to be given up at any time.

After confirming that it was almost impossible for the northern group to escape, Gideon immediately ordered the remaining four groups to retreat and meet at the pre-set location B to discuss the next action plan.

In a dense forest in the hilly area southeast of Hamel, four groups arrived one after another.

Seeing that all the staff had arrived, Gideon didn't talk nonsense, and directly spread out the map to collect the existing information.

"There is no discovery in the three directions of east, west, east, west, that is to say, the target is within the range of positive north of the center of point A and the angle between positive and negative 45 degrees with the positive north."

"According to international practice, the warning line is generally no more than 50 Serre moments away from the target. Combined with the investigation area of ​​the northern team, the distance between the target and point A should be between 60-70 Serre moments."

"To resettle the people of a village, there must be a place that is open enough, not too far from the water source, and not an area frequented by monsters."

"There are places within the scope that meet these conditions. Here, here, here, and here, there are four in total."

"Wait, such a unique environment is enough to develop a border city, why is it no man's land?"

Gideon realized that he had committed an occupational disease and couldn't help laughing at himself.He teaches politics and economics at school, and some ideas will pop up from time to time in the process of action. Maybe he still has a heart of being a teacher deep in his heart.

"Forget it, now is not the time to worry about these things. Time is running out, the fourth team has been exposed, and the target may shift at any time. As long as the "Grey Knight" is given a little time, he can mobilize enough airships to transport people away .In that case, everything we have done before is in vain."

"Now I order. The first and second teams will stay to monitor the movement of the target, and the third and fourth teams will go to the nearest area covered by guided waves, report to His Excellency the Duke, and request you to mobilize all the maneuvers that can be mobilized nearby. force."

"Yessir!" X12
"Commander, what about you?"

"I stayed with the first and second groups. I made the plan, and I must see it to the end."

"Your Mightiness!"

"Don't say anything more, I have already decided, execute the order!"

"Yes!"

The third and fourth groups really didn't say anything more, silently put away the map, and left quickly.

I don't know whether it was a moment of negligence, or an instinctive trust in the area that had been scouted beforehand. The two groups of six people could not form a battle formation.

When passing a certain turning crossing, this figure suddenly jumped out from the shade of a nearby tree, with black light flashing in his hand, and quickly passed the bodies of six intelligence officers.

The intelligence personnel standing at the forefront only had time to see a flowing black hair and two black short knives before losing consciousness.

Joshua stood up slowly, lightly flicked the black double knives in his hands, and the six people behind him fell to the ground.

After deftly removing the joints of the six people and binding them with the shackles they carried with them, the black shadow glanced at the direction opposite to the direction the six people were traveling, and his body escaped into the shadows again, leaving only one sentence——

"There are 7 more."

Fifteen minutes later, six other intelligence officers lost consciousness in the same way, and their commander Gideon was held up with a knife by a young man with black hair and amber eyes.

"You, who are you?" Gideon's face was ashen.

"The friend of the "Grey Knight" you mentioned."

I'm Rean's friend, that's all.

PS: Ask for a monthly pass.
