The cheerful singing of birds broke the tranquility of the rainforest, and the rustling sounds of small animals running through the grass also came from all around.

"shhhhhh"

However, the good times did not last long. Accompanied by several sounds of breaking through the air, several sharp blades pierced through the leaves and headed straight for a few wood sparrows on the branches.

The birds that were just singing leisurely were unable to dodge the sudden attack and immediately fell from the trees after being hit.

The rest of the birds were startled and at the same time a figure walked out from the bushes nearby and picked up a few motionless wood sparrows.

"Hey, Dad, look what I caught."

Turning her head and looking behind her, Jade picked up a few trophies in her hand, with a proud tone in her voice.

Later, from the direction she had just come from, a tall and strong man used an axe to chop away the bushes blocking his way and caught up with her.

"We are here for reconnaissance, not hunting. Don't do anything unnecessary when we have dry food."

However, Gabriel did not praise her hunting skills as Jade had expected, but instead blamed her.

"Hey, dad, don't be so unromantic. I just want to show you that my hunting skills are still not rusty."

Pouting, Jade pulled out her throwing knife and put the prey in her hand into the strap on her back.

Based on her previous experience of living in the rainforest with her father, this was a rare delicacy, and she would bring it back to serve as a snack for everyone in the evening.

"There will be plenty of opportunities for you to fight later, just complete the task first."

Gabriel ignored his daughter's words and aimed his axe at a vine hanging on a tree.

"But judging from your actions just now, it seems that you have not forgotten what I taught you in the rain forest. You threw the flying knife very neatly."

Then with another blow of the axe, the vines and branches broke, opening up a new path for the two.

Sometimes my daughter can be really irritable, and I don’t know when she will truly grow up.

"Hey, that's right, you're the best, dad."

Hearing this, Jade, who was still with her hands on her hips, suddenly smiled and returned to her previous lively self.

In this way, Gabriel and Jade walked for a while in this uninhabited rainforest.

During this period, they were also constantly observing the situation around them, identifying possible enemies for the large force behind them.

Just as they said the enemy was coming, after they climbed over a small hill, a camp appeared before them.

Judging from the style of the tents, this should be a marching camp of the Ministry of Education.

"shush"

He made a gesture to Jade beside him to keep quiet, indicating her not to make too much noise, and Gabriel took out the monocular telescope issued by the army from the bag behind him.

Then he opened the protective cover of the telescope, took a quick glance at the camp, and began to roughly calculate the number of the enemy's tents.

"Twenty, thirty, forty... Tsk, it looks like this camp is not small."

The person who spoke was Jade who was standing next to her. At this moment, she also took out a telescope and started observing with her father.

"No, there's more than that. Judging from the black smoke in the sky behind them, there should be more people who are not in our sight."

The experienced Gabriel immediately noticed the black smoke in the distant sky.

If I'm not mistaken, these thin lines of smoke should be emitted by a large number of different campfires.

"Let's go down and see if we can find out the total number of the enemy."

Drawing out the scimitar from his waist, Gabriel patted his daughter on the shoulder, then jumped down the slope where the two of them were just standing.

Seeing this, Jade naturally did not hesitate. She also drew out her short blade and followed her father's actions.

After landing on the ground, the two quickly reached the edge of the camp with the cover of the surrounding bushes.

Noticing the soldiers packing up their belongings in the camp and lining up to prepare to leave, it was not difficult to see that they were making final preparations before departure.

Seeing this, Gabriel and the other two began to wait patiently for an opportunity to take action.

After waiting for a while, even when the sun had completely climbed high into the sky, this army of hundreds of people finally packed up and prepared to set off.

"You two, don't look at anyone else. Immediately report to the rear that the Fifth Squadron is ready to depart."

Then the two soldiers left the team and ran towards the woods at the rear, apparently to send a message to the rear.

Gabriel would naturally not miss this opportunity. He circled in the bushes and chased after him with Jade.

After a while, they caught up with the two soldiers. After they were far away from the others, looking at the deserted environment around them, Gabriel made a gesture to Jade.

'Kill one and keep the other.'

There was no need for communication. The tacit understanding brought by long-term interaction made Jade immediately understand his thoughts, and she jumped onto a tree nearby in no time.

Then Gabriel swung his arm, aimed at a soldier in front of him, and threw the weapon in his hand.

With a puff, the scimitar flew across the distance and accurately hit the neck of one of the soldiers.

"who!"

Hearing the screams of his companions, the surviving soldier quickly turned his head and looked back. After searching for a while, he soon found Gabriel who was clenching his fists.

Looking at the friend who fell asleep beside him, you can tell who did it even with your toes.

"Damn it, I'm going to fight you."

Faced with Gabriel's burly body, he drew his weapon tremblingly and mustered up his courage to rush towards the enemy in front.

Since the opponent has already thrown the weapon in his hand, he is still confident that he can fight him with the advantage of having the weapon.

But before he could reach Gabriel, Jade seized the opportunity to leap down from the tree and gave him a righteous kick in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Eh~ That's disgusting."

Looking at the teeth flying out of the other person's mouth with contempt, Jade rubbed her shoes on the ground with her feet, then took out a rope and threw it to Gabriel beside her.

After taking the rope, Gabriel did not delay. He first straightened the soldier's bones, and then tied him up.

"Tell me everything you know and don't try to resist, or I'll let you see what we desert people can do."

Chapter 83: Clear Arrangements

"I said, I said everything"

It turns out that the Great Memory Restoration Technique is extremely effective for these soldiers who were recruited by the House of Lords from somewhere unknown.

Before Gabriel even started to exert any strength, the other party started to spill the beans, telling him everything he knew in one breath.

He even wanted to give the other person a desert-style chiropractic massage.

"We are just the vanguard. This time, the wise men have mobilized almost everyone in the city."

It seems that Gabriel's previous guess was not wrong. There is indeed a large army behind these people.

However, judging from the other party's description, it seems that the Ministry of Religion is planning to launch a decisive battle against the Restoration Army?

Thinking of this, Gabriel asked a few more questions, wanting to get more information about this large army.

But unfortunately, this soldier is just a private and all he knows is what he has seen and heard.

"Since you are no longer useful, I can give you a quick death in consideration of your cooperation."

Gabriel drew out his scimitar and placed it on the opponent's neck. Now, with just a slight movement of his hand, he could completely end the opponent's life.

"No, no, no, I am still useful. I have seen them... Yes, I have seen the Fatui from Solstice. They are also in this army."

It seems that the soldier's desire to survive was very strong. Faced with the threat of death, he still racked his brains to recall a piece of information.

"Interesting, how much do you know about this matter."

It is obviously impossible for the other party to deceive himself at this time, so the information of the Fatui is probably true.

If the Fatui join the war on a large scale, it will definitely be bad news for the Restoration Army.

After all, the Fatui are different from Xumi's mercenaries. After all, they are a legitimate army. Coupled with advanced equipment, their combat effectiveness is definitely very strong.

But just like before, the soldier didn't know much about it. He could only say that a large number of Fatui were indeed involved in this special military operation.

At the same time, according to the opponent's description, if we continue to move forward, we will soon run into the opponent's main force.

Then it was time to end this reconnaissance operation. They had to pass this valuable information back to the rear as soon as possible.

"Your performance was very good, but I'm sorry. In order to prevent our whereabouts from being exposed, I will let you leave without so much pain."

After saying that, without paying any further attention to the other person's horrified expression, Jade hit him on the back of the head with an elbow, knocking him unconscious.

Then he slashed his neck with a short blade. At least compared to his companions, he could be said to be sleeping very peacefully.

...

"According to the intelligence from the reconnaissance ahead, the Ministry of Education has assembled a large-scale army in the plains north of Zen Garden, directly in front of our military base, and is waiting for our attack."

In the camp of the Renaissance Army, a pre-war combat meeting is being held.

But what is somewhat different from previous meetings is that the lineup of participants this time can be said to be very luxurious.

Not only Seno, Rahman and others who were in charge of military affairs, but also civilian personnel such as Alhaisen, Tinari, and even Nashida attended the meeting.

Because all signs indicate that the upcoming battle will undoubtedly determine the future fate of Xumi.

It can be said that the fate of Xumi depends on this battle!

"So, they want to fight to the death with us?"

Considering the marching direction of the Council of Churches and considering the current situation where the Council of Churches is surrounded on three sides, this judgment is not difficult to make.

"Humph, with their current military strength, they are just a trapped beast fighting hard."

Considering the current situation of the House of Lords, even if they placed all their hopes on this battle, after losing most of their territory, the forces they could mobilize would be very limited.

Even looking at the entire battlefield, unlike previous situations where the few were fighting against the many, the Fusion Army was able to gain some local military advantages.

"But it's not hard for everyone to take it lightly. Even if the mushroom pig is cornered, it may bite you with its sharp teeth."

Seeing that everyone was becoming complacent due to the previous series of victories, Nashida came out to remind them at the right time.

"And based on what we've observed, the Fatui will also participate in this battle as volunteers. Their strong individual combat qualities should not be underestimated."

If they were only facing the remaining troops of the Order of the Lords, almost everyone present would think that they would win.

But if we add the Fatui's troops in Xumi, the situation will be different.

Although their numbers are certainly not large, each of the Fatui's soldiers are elite, and if they were to intervene at a critical moment in the battle, it would definitely have a significant impact.

"In addition, Lanaro and the others also reported to me that recently, the Fatui have been frantically clearing the dead zone in the rainforest. They may be collecting the forbidden knowledge contained in the dead zone."

Such a large-scale clearing of the dead zone is as eye-catching as a beacon to the Lanaros.

If they didn't know that the Fatui would definitely make a fuss about these things, the Lanaros might actually say that they were good Nala.

"So in battle, once you discover the status of the enemy soldiers, or the surrounding environment has changed, do not hesitate and retreat immediately. This is not something you can fight against."

"I will provide everyone with a blessing that will temporarily make you immune to the dangers of the Death Zone, but it will still be dangerous over time."

Nashida solemnly emphasized this point. Even if she was not afraid of forbidden knowledge, the ordinary soldiers of the Renaissance Army were afraid of it. So relevant preventive work must not be neglected.

Even though she had taken so many precautions and prepared corresponding backup plans, Nashida still had some concerns.

Because the plot at this moment has deviated greatly from its original development, especially the situation of the scattered soldiers, about which she knows even less due to the direct interference of the Doctor.

However, what is certain is that the House of Lords still took the initiative to launch this campaign even though they knew they might have to take action. They must have something to rely on.

No matter what the specific means are, at least in their opinion, it must be something that can pose a threat to their demon god.

But Nashida is now completely different from when she just left Jingshan Palace.
