"okay,"

The woman, whom the two men addressed as priestess, interrupted her two subordinates, saying, "The most urgent thing is to leave here. Any disputes can wait until we get outside."

The woman seemed to be quite authoritative; after hearing her words, the two men, though clearly displeased, obediently kept quiet.

"Doma, you can come down now."

The Dark Priest clapped his hands again, and then another white-robed figure leaped down from the ceiling behind Miss Maple.

"I'm the one behind me?"

Miss Mo Feng was slightly startled, then turned to count the number of people present. "I remember there were five, right? Where is the last one?"

"He wasn't caught, otherwise who do you think sent out the plea for help?"

The believer with the severed hand grumbled and cursed, which served as his answer to the question.

Once everyone was present, they didn't linger and headed towards the dungeon exit.

Ye Xiaomo followed silently behind, but in his mind he was plotting how to trick these Dark Shepherds without revealing his identity.

Not only to avenge the dead soldiers, but also because he didn't know the company's purpose in asking them to help rescue these guys, the fact that they specifically sent a player spy team to carry out this mission meant that these guys must be quite important. Therefore, from an intelligence perspective, it was necessary to leave a few Dark Shepherd followers behind.

While Ella was pondering this, she went to find Li Cheng, who was resting in Strømsgodset.

"Intercept the followers of the Dark Shepherd? No problem, leave it to me."

After hearing Ella's description, Li Cheng readily agreed, "But speaking of which, Holy Maiden, when did you become so tiny? It's so cute."

"I overused my divine power and suffered a backlash, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you."

Petite Ella put her hands on her hips and said, "Be careful when you do it. Remember to leave one for me to take back to the company. If you catch them all, it will arouse suspicion."

"Yes, ma'am."

Li Cheng bowed to Ella, and even so, he was still slightly taller than Ella when he bent over.

……

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao and Miss Mo Feng, along with several Dark Shepherd followers, had already left the prison.

The guards at the door saw a large group of people walking out of the door and were about to step forward to stop them when Miss Mo Feng flicked two pink orbs of light from her fingertips and smeared them on their faces.

The two soldiers' eyes glazed over, and then the girl flicked her fingers, as if using invisible threads to pull the two soldiers back to their posts, where they stood there blankly.

After that, they avoided the main road where many soldiers were gathered and made their way to the exit of the area along a less crowded alley. The few soldiers they encountered along the way were easily dealt with by Miss Mofeng using illusion magic.

The group quickly arrived at the exit, where there were quite a few guards. The girl then told the others to wait where they were, while she herself opened a magic circle in her hand. After a long while, she released a large patch of pale white mist from her palm, which enveloped the exit.

The dozen or so guards felt their vision blurring and their minds becoming somewhat unclear, as if they had suddenly become drunk, within the barrier formed by the psychedelic mist.

"Follow me closely, and be careful not to bump into them."

Miss Mofeng urged everyone to pass quickly, saying, "This is just temporary mental dizziness; they will regain their senses soon."

"Why don't you just use that spell from before to take them down?"

Ye Xiao kept asking questions as he walked.

“Other patrol teams often pass by the intersection. If we let them fall asleep directly, they will be discovered by others. The dizziness effect is not that strong, but when they wake up, they will think that nothing has happened.”

As they talked, the two led several Shadow Walkers quickly across the intersection. A pale white mist spread across the ground, but from a distance it gradually became transparent, invisible and colorless, yet it could conceal their figures as they infiltrated it, blending them into the shadows of the environment.

The musketeer sentry, positioned high above, looked down and saw that the nighttime streetscape had become somewhat blurry, and the oil lamps at the gate seemed to have dissolved like watercolors.

The group quietly slipped through the guards at the gate, but just then, a dazzling burst of fire suddenly erupted from the military camp to the north.

"boom"

The explosion rose like a dazzling firework, instantly illuminating half the night sky.

The violent tremors, accompanied by deafening sound waves, spread out, instantly snapping the soldiers who had been dazed at the intersection back to their senses.

"What are you doing..."

The sudden explosion caught everyone off guard. Miss Mo Feng looked surprised, and when she looked at the soldiers around her who had regained their senses and opened their eyes wide, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Damn it! Run!"

"Enemy attack!!!"

The two soldiers who were closest to him had just shouted when they were immediately hit in the face by two pink magic waves, their heads lolling to the side and they fell unconscious to the ground.

However, many more soldiers that Miss Mofeng couldn't stop ran towards the alarm room and rang the alarm bell.

"Ding ding ding ding——"

The piercing ringing of the bell quickly spread throughout the town center.

Several soldiers filed out of the gate behind them, and patrol teams from all over the street outside surrounded the group.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Rebellious Employee

"This is a bit awkward."

Miss Mofeng gave a bitter smile, while several Dark Shepherd followers had cold expressions, and their hands, which emerged from under their sleeves, gradually transformed into dark, withered claws resembling eagle claws.

Ye Xiao caught a glimpse of this strange change out of the corner of his eye, and thought it was somewhat similar to the wolf claw beast transformation skill that the Beast God's authority had granted to Ella. He wondered if there was any connection between the two.

The gate was surrounded by layers upon layers of soldiers. Although this remote town did not have many troops stationed there, there were still six or seven hundred men, which was more than enough to wipe out a small team of a few people.

"If possible, let's try not to fight head-on. Could you cast a fog spell later? We can then rush out from the side."

Ye Xiao whispered in Miss Mo Feng's ear.

The girl followed Ye Xiao's gaze and noticed that there was indeed a cluttered alleyway across the street that would be suitable for an escape. She nodded and said, "No problem."

But just as the two finalized their escape plan, a cold laugh suddenly came from above.

"Hey, I was wondering why I couldn't find anyone in the prison, turns out they've all come here."

Ye Xiao and Miss Mo Feng looked up at the sound, only to see several figures emerging from the darkness on the building behind them.

Leading the group was a cold-looking young girl, dressed in dark black tight-fitting leather armor, standing on the edge of the rooftop. A slender sword was tucked into her waistband, and her long hair, as black as ink, shimmered faintly in the moonlight.

The one who spoke was a man with deep red hair standing next to the girl. He wore a loose mage's robe, but his posture was not as elegant as that of an ordinary mage. Instead, he squatted down in a bold manner with his hands on his knees, and several bright fireballs swirled around him like protective jewels.

Besides the two at the front, there were four other figures dressed in different outfits, most of whom were clearly players.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, already having a rough idea of ​​who the newcomer was.

As expected, Miss Mo Feng, standing beside him, was so angry upon seeing the other party that she shouted, "Raymond!? You were the one who caused that explosion!?!"

"Wasn't that firework beautiful?"

The red-haired mage, known as Raymond, grinned, displaying a carefree and unrestrained demeanor.

"Do you even realize we're almost out of here!"

"The message already said to assemble and follow orders, but you disobeyed and ran away on your own. Considering everything, I'm already being lenient by not holding you accountable for acting without permission."

Raymond waved his hand.

"whispering sound."

Miss Mofeng pouted.

"Get 'em!"

As they spoke, Loren's soldiers roared and surrounded them.

But then, several fireballs streaked across the night sky and crashed to the ground, causing a huge explosion that sent a group of soldiers flying.

“I’ve searched the whole military camp but haven’t seen many capable fighters. Miss Luo, why don’t we just wipe out all these soldiers?”

Raymond snapped his fingers, and several more blazing fireballs appeared on his shoulder.

He seemed to be speaking to the cold-faced girl, who looked down at the soldiers thronging the street and nodded slightly. "Kill them all."

"Hey!"

Mo Feng shouted, "Mind your own business! You can get out without killing anyone!"

"That's not up to you to decide. Just stand still and don't move."

A cruel smile appeared on Raymond's lips. With a wave of his right hand, a barrage of fireballs shot out from behind him.

However, Miss Mofeng was naturally not going to listen. She immediately raised both palms, and a magic circle emitting a pink glow expanded from her chest.

A thick fog billowed out, unlike the invisible fog used for disguise before, this was a real fog that could obscure the view.

Like clouds descending from the ground, they spread out and enveloped the entire street.

The fireballs that were previously launched exploded in the fog, but only a few sparks could be seen, and they could not dispel the thick fog created by the spell.

"What are you doing, Mo Feng!"

A hint of displeasure flashed in Raymond's eyes, as the thick fog made it difficult for him to find the target for his fireball.

If they bombard him relentlessly, it wouldn't be good for him if the person he's rescuing accidentally gets hit.

Left with no other choice, Raymond had to stop and turn his gaze to the black-haired girl beside him.

"I can't believe it, this guy just ran off with the mission target... Miss Luo, you really have to tell the supervisor when you get back, this isn't the first or second time this guy has messed things up."

"Um……"

The black-haired girl said noncommittally, "Let's catch up with them first."

……

Meanwhile, as the fog dissipated, Miss Mofeng and Ye Xiao led a group of Dark Shepherd followers out of the chaotic crowd and into the alley across the street.

"Those must have been the other two teams of travelers from another world?"

Ye Xiao, who was standing to the side, asked, "Why does he sound so arrogant?"

"After all, we are a newly formed team, and my rank is still relatively low. We are essentially a subordinate team under the other side."

Miss Mofeng pouted.

"The Real Trouble Squad..."

Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Wait, you mean those two were actually your superiors?"

"Hmm...you could say that."

"No, is it okay if we don't meet up with them?"

Ye Xiao was initially taken aback, then suddenly seemed to realize something, her brow furrowing, "Wait, what if they fire you because of this..."

"Then you'll lose your job too."

Miss Mofeng stuck out her tongue and answered Ye Xiao's question.

Ye Xiao was running when she heard this and almost tripped and fell.

No way, what's going on? If he gets fired, how is he supposed to infiltrate?

"Don't worry, little brother, if I really get fired, I'll take full responsibility."

As Miss Mofeng ran, she patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder and said, "If all else fails, with my illusion skills, we can still make some money by performing on the streets."

"How could I possibly trust what you're saying!"

Ye Xiao really couldn't hold back.

However, despite their conversation, the two, using the fog as cover, led the Dark Shepherd through several streets and shook off the imperial soldiers' pursuit.

Miss Mofeng's spell had an even stronger sensory shielding effect than a regular fog spell; she even encountered several patrol teams with hunting dogs along the way but couldn't detect their presence.

Having left the most heavily fortified town center, they hid in an abandoned house on the outskirts of town, finally able to catch their breath.

Once they left this neighborhood, there was only a vast desert outside. Crossing it on foot was definitely not feasible, so they needed to find a means of transportation nearby.

"Young man, you keep them here and don't move. I'll go find some horses, and then we can leave this place."

Miss Mofeng left her instructions and then went outside alone, disappearing into the deep night.

The night grew darker.

One hour after Miss Mofeng left.
