Although they've donned the guise of the Nobushige, if the other side investigates carefully, they might still be able to uncover their true identities.

It's all fine now. There's no way anyone from the Heavenly Order could appear on this shortcut!

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Attack!

Chapter 53

At this moment, the Hiiragi samurai following behind seemed quite happy.

Because no matter what, Su Hao's shortcut saved them a lot of trouble; otherwise, they would have had to fight against the people who were in charge of the Heavenly Territory.

Although the Kan Ding Feng Xing (a high-ranking official in charge of investigations) is not afraid of the Tian Ling Feng Xing (another high-ranking official in charge of investigations), what they are doing now is to capture Su Hao, a nobleman.

The nobles of Inazuma all hold extremely high status; they may fall into decline, but they must never be framed.

The Fools were also very happy, because the task given to them by Lord Sanbing was to delay as much as possible and see if they could lure out Yae no Miko.

Although the original plan, or rather the lady's plan, was to first muddy the waters of Inazuma, and then let the Tenryo Magistrate and the resistance army suffer heavy losses.

As a god, General Raiden could not personally deal with the affairs of mortals, so the Fools stepped forward, offering the heart of a god as payment, to resolve the chaos in Inazuma.

The Soldier had other purposes. Originally, he seemed to have intended to follow the Lady's plan, but after the failure of the Stepping Sand mission, the Soldier seemed to have other goals.

However, the Executor is second only to the Queen, and the Fools are loyal to him, so they naturally wouldn't contradict the Scatterers.

Even if you have doubts, you must go and complete the mission.

The Hiiragi samurai and the Jujin followed slowly behind, planning to take him down together once Su Hao ventured deeper into the path.

What the fools and the Hiiragi samurai didn't know was that someone was secretly following them.

Those were naturally Thomas, Ayaka Kamisato, and Shinobu Hisaki.

[Kuki Shinobu: "@Su Hao, @Ella, [video], did you see that? These guys seem a bit tough to deal with."]

[Ayaka Kamisato: "Of the three samurai dressed as nobushi, the one in the lead has the Eye of God. I don't recognize the other two, but I can tell they are both elites."]

[Su Hao: "These Fools' gang really have poor counter-surveillance awareness; they didn't even notice you."]

[Ella: "Young master, be careful on this path. There are Hilichurls and Slimes around here; they might suddenly jump out of the bushes."]

[Hisaki Shinobu: "Ayaka Kamisato's item is quite useful. The three of us are holding onto parts of the cloaks, which, while not completely concealing our presence, is enough."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Huh? The eldest daughter of the Kamisato family got an item from signing in?"]

[Raiden Shin: "Isn't that just experience points?"]

[Abedo: "Is it the check-in feature? Let me try it..."]

[Aberdo: "3 experience points."]

[Rotuo Dragon King: "I tried it too, 20 experience points, hahaha, pretty good."]

[Raiden Shin: "There are all sorts of items in the daily check-in rewards. According to the group admin, they all have pretty good effects, but I haven't gotten one since joining the group."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Well... items and such are secondary, it's just that seeing the experience gained from daily check-ins consumes one energy point every day."]

[Su Hao: "That's all for now, the fight's about to start!"]

[Kuki Shinobu: "Has the enemy made a move? But we haven't seen it."]

[Ella: "No, it's the Hilichurls who have broken out. They seem to think we're intruders."]

"ah!"

A group of Hilichurls, along with two Hilichurl thugs wielding large axes, rushed out. Their objective was clear: to harm Su Hao and Ella.

Among the Hilichurls, some carried crossbows, while others carried wooden clubs.

Neither Su Hao nor Ella expected that while they were fishing, these Hilichurls would suddenly appear.

"Ella, let's finish this quickly." Su Hao naturally didn't want to be entangled with these Hilichurls, because he had the Hiiragi family samurai and the elite of the Fatui behind him. If he made a move and revealed his strength, it might alert them to something amiss.

"Yes, Master."

Ella nodded and quickly moved to engage the Hilichurls ahead. She said calmly, "It's time to clean up."

Water elemental power condensed in Ayla's hand, quickly forming a battle scythe.

"Shh!"

Accompanied by the sound of flowing water, Ella wielded her battle scythe and fought against the Hilichurl thugs wielding large axes.

"Bang! Bang!!!"

With just two hits, the Hilichurl thug's axe was shattered, before he could even react to why his axe had broken.

With a head flying off, the fastest charging Hilichurl thug also died the fastest.

"Ah!!!" Now, the Hilichurls who were originally planning to charge forward fearlessly stopped running forward after seeing how powerful Ella was.

The slower-moving Hilichurl thug gripped his giant axe tightly and shouted a few times at Ella, the meaning of which was unclear.

"roll!"

Ayla spoke coldly, standing on the corpse of the Hilichurl thug, her water elemental scythe emitting a pale blue light.

Clearly, if these Hilichurls didn't leave, she planned to use Elemental Ability to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"……………………"

The Hilichurls got scared and stopped trying to intimidate them with their calls; instead, they slunk away.

Seeing that the Hilichurls had backed down, Ella put away her scythe and jumped off the corpses of the Hilichurl mob.

Just as Ella jumped down, an arrow imbued with lightning energy shot towards her.

"!"

Ella dodged the arrow by tilting her head, and immediately ran to Su Hao's side, her eyes fixed on the direction from which it had been shot.

Su Hao also turned his gaze to the direction from which the arrow had been shot. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. These guys actually launched a sneak attack.

[Su Hao: "Who shot the arrow?"]

[Kuki Shinobu: "He's a samurai. Strange... He doesn't have the Eye of God, so how is he using elemental power?"]

[Ayaka Kamisato: "Have you hidden the Eye of God?"]

[Raiden Shin: "No, the Eye of God does emit a very noticeable light when in use."]

[Raiden Shin: "That light is relatively easy to see, unless he places the Eye of God in a direction you can't see."]

[Hisaki Shinobu: "From our angle, we can clearly see most of his body, but we can't see the light emanating from the Eye of God."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Perhaps, like the group leader, he can use elemental power without the Eye of God? Or is it some other method he uses to use elemental power?"]

[Ayaka Kamisato: "I don't know, but we should go too. The Fatui have begun their operation."]

After seeing the message sent by Ayaka Kamisato, Isla and Su Hao seemed to sense something.

"The unclean will surely be punished."

As a female voice rang out, the first person to appear was a tall woman. As soon as she appeared, she created a water mirror, intending to trap Su Hao and Ella.

"Hahahahaha!!" The Lightning Sorcerer appeared, summoning Lightning with laughter.

The fireflies scattered and rushed towards Ella from all directions.

“You fools are really sick in the head, stop talking nonsense.”

A samurai dressed as a member of the Nobushi clan stepped forward. He drew his katana from his waist with a disdainful expression and stared at Ella, saying, "Just take care of this maid with the Eye of God, then kidnap that nobleman, and that'll be the end of it."

"Be careful, this maid is not simple." The samurai leader, who had a Thunder God's Eye hanging from his waist, carefully warned, "She took down that Hilichurl thug in two moves, she's probably stronger than we thought."

Despite saying this, he drew the knife from his waist and charged towards Ella.

Four people launched their attack at the same time, clearly indicating that Ella's previous attack had made them wary.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have swarmed in, trying to take down Ella as quickly as possible.

The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details. Although the Hilichurl thugs were weak, neither the Hiiragi samurai nor the elite of the Fatui felt that they could kill their opponents so cleanly and decisively.

"Young Master, step back." Ella stood in front of Su Hao, a pale blue light gleaming in her eyes, as she swung her water elemental scythe.

Ella knew her young master's strength very well. The opponent was stronger than her, and if she let him take action, the battle would probably end very quickly.

As a maid, how could she let her master fight a battle of this level?

"It's up to you now." Su Hao silently stepped back, looking around. According to the video sent by Jiuqi Ren, there were more than just these four people.

Two debt collectors, as well as the guy who ambushed them with arrows earlier, have not yet appeared.

The person who launched the sneak attack with a bow and arrow is probably still lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to launch another attack. As for those two debt collectors... are they targeting me?

While Su Hao was pondering, the battle began.

Ella is quite strong. As a combat maid, she not only has perfected all her life skills, but she also constantly hones her combat abilities.

She has different approaches to different situations. Last time, when facing the Fools in Ta-sa, she wanted to finish off one enemy quickly, but the enemy's cooperation was beyond her expectations.

Therefore, now, facing a large number of enemies, Ella has chosen a completely new strategy.

In an instant, it was like a mirage.

As Ayla swung her water elemental scythe, two water elemental phantoms emerged from her body.

They each wielded a katana and a spear, and their physical characteristics and appearances were 90% similar to Ella's.

"What kind of elemental combat technique is this?" The warrior with the Thunder Element God's Eye was stunned upon seeing this.

As a samurai of the Hiiragi family, he possessed a complete lineage of martial arts skills. Whether it was swordsmanship or the God's Eye combat technique, the Hiiragi family would never mistreat their own members.

Therefore, in terms of strength, although this samurai was not as good as Kujo Sara, he could still hold his own against him for a few moves and remain undefeated.

But now, looking at the two watery afterimages emerging from Ella's body, for some reason, the leader of the Hiiragi family samurai felt a strong threat.

The leader of the Hiiragi family samurai, following the voice of his heart, temporarily stopped and looked at Isla as if facing a formidable enemy.

"…………"

Upon seeing these three [Ayra], the Mirror Lady and the Thunderfire Sorcerer, who were not far away, shared the same feeling as the warrior. They did not rush in immediately, but instead observed the battle.

Because, didn't some reckless young man rush in?!

"Fancy water afterimages!" The warrior who charged forward first moved with lightning speed. He stared at the water elemental symbol on Ella's chest, a cruel glint in his eyes, and said, "I've killed plenty of you Eye of God holders before, so die—!!!"
