Start a Core Pod Chapter 357

  Chapter 357 Lisas

   "Your Excellency, the city of Lisas is ahead."

"Um………"

   Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the towering city wall in front of him.

   "It seems that this place is really heavily guarded."

   "That's right..."

  While talking, Jian Dang Kanami looked at Duanmu Huai with complicated eyes. To be honest, when she first heard that she and Duanmu Huai were going on the road, she was still taken aback. It's not that I'm worried that Duanmuhuai will attack me, after all, Dang Kanami has already realized this. On the contrary, what Dang Kanami is worried about is that they will be patrolled by the Herman soldiers or those brainwashed Lisas soldiers. It was found that it would not be easy to handle.

   After all, Duanmu Huai is extremely tall. Although there are people with similar size in this fantasy world of sword and magic, such a size is still very conspicuous. Once discovered, they are easily hunted down. Seeing that as a ninja, Dang Kanami is naturally proficient in the way of hiding, but for Duanmuhuai... she really has no confidence.

  However, along the way, Duanmuhuai's actions surprised Kanami. The reason is that...

   "Ah, there's a group of patrolling soldiers over there."

   "Avoid them!"

  Hearing Dang Kanami's words, Duanmuhuai nodded, and then seeing Dang Kanami, he saw him standing in the shadow of a small tree less than one meter thick. Immediately afterwards, a group of patrols consisting of Hermann soldiers and Lisas soldiers approached not far away. They looked around while walking, and then walked away from Duanmu Huai as if they hadn't seen anything. In the past - Duanmuhuai was still more than half of his body out of the shadows, but in the end this group of patrol soldiers seemed to be blind, and it seemed that they hadn't noticed his existence at all!

"alright."

  Wait until the patrol soldiers walked away, Duanmuhuai walked out again to move his body, while Jiandang Kanami looked at the direction where the patrol soldiers left with a complicated expression, with an incredulous expression on his face.

   "No matter how many times I read it, I still don't understand how this is done..."

   It's no wonder that Dang Kanami would have such doubts. At first, when she saw Duanmuhuai squatting in a random place, she was also taken aback. After all, according to common sense, with Duanmu Huai's stature, unless he hides in the dense bushes, it is impossible not to be discovered.

  The result is that Duanmu Huai is clearly in front of him, but these patrol soldiers turn a blind eye to him like blind men. When I saw Kanami at the time, I wondered if this was some kind of delaying strategy by the other party. For example, they obviously found Duanmuhuai, but they felt that they couldn't beat them, so they would call for reinforcements, and then come to sneak attack at night or something.

   It turned out to be like this several times back and forth, which made Mito Kanami confused. It wasn't until the end that she asked Duanmu Huai a question and experienced it for herself, only then did she realize that Duanmu Huai's hiding was really outrageous. Obviously she only looked away for a second, and when she turned her head again, she couldn't find anyone. And there is only a piece of grassland and scattered shrubs around, and there is no place to hide.

  At that time, I saw Dang Kanami almost digging the ground three feet, and finally it was Duanmu Huai who took the initiative to show up, and she realized that the other party had been hiding in the pile of bushes not far from her that was not half a meter high!

   How on earth does this work?

  As a ninja who makes a living out of hiding, I can't understand Dang Kanami. The bush is only less than half a meter, and Duanmuhuai is taller than it when lying down!

  How could he hide in it quietly?

   Duanmu Huai can only express this - you don't understand the skills of the Raven Guard...

  Maybe I can teach her in the future.

  Of course, this trick will be useless when it reaches the gate of the city. After all, everyone is tense right now. The defenses are strict, unless Duanmuhuai is supported by a container, he will not be able to enter through the city gate. But this didn't bother him. Although the city wall of King Lisas was tens of meters high, it was nothing more than sprinkling water to Duanmu Huai. One side jumped down and mixed into the city of King Lisas.

   "Okay, we're coming in... well, there's no sign of war here either."

"yes………"

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Dang Kanami looked a little depressed. Along the way, they passed more than one city, but what they saw was not optimistic. On the side of the Liberty City Alliance, perhaps because it was occupied not long ago, there are still traces of war. But after arriving in the territory of Lisas, although most of the cities were damaged, at least on the surface, they have almost returned to their peaceful life in the past. Except for a little more soldiers, it seems that there is no change from before the war.

   This is obviously not a good thing for Jiandang Kanami. Although she was relieved to say that the residents were not harmed by Hermann's soldiers, it also meant that the citizens of Lisas were likely to gradually adapt to this kind of life, and even refused to be involved in the war again.

  After all, if the Herman army is doing evil here, killing people and setting fire, then even if the citizens will succumb out of fear, it will also generate resistance to the Herman army. But if the other party didn't pose a threat to him, plus Princess Leia's declaration before—if this continues, it is very likely that Lisas will be swallowed up by Herman!

   After all, the rebels are all Lisas now, and their relatives also live in these cities. If their relatives are injured or killed by the Hermann army, they will definitely revenge with the same enemy. But if their relatives were not harmed, it would be much more difficult for the Lisas Rebels to fight again.

   Not to mention that Princess Leia also made that declaration...

   "I'm going to check the situation nearby, please wait a moment."

   After saying this, Dang Kanami disappeared in a flash and disappeared into the alley, while Duanmu Huai was idle and found a place to sit down and looked around.

  Hmm...you can indeed feel the devil's breath.

  Duanmu Huai could feel that although it was very thin, there was indeed an evil like a devil in this Lisas king city, and a dark atmosphere emerged in it. This feeling is very similar to the distorted breath he felt in Altdorf, the capital of the empire, but it is still a little weaker here—that is to say, the devil here should have appeared not long ago.

   After a while, Duanmu Huai saw Dang Kanami running back panting, she looked at the alley, looked around. And Duanmuhuai just stood up from the side at this time, seeing Duanmuhuai suddenly appearing from the shadows, seeing Dang Kanami was also startled, she pulled out the knife reflexively, and only let go after realizing that it was Duanmuhuai tone.

   "Huh...Your Excellency, your move is really scary."

"well enough."

  Duanmuhuai didn't care at all.

   "What's the catch?"

"Um………"

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Jian Dang Kanami's expression darkened.

"It's relatively relaxed inside and outside the royal city now, but everyone is also very nervous. Although it is true that the Herman soldiers are not arresting people casually like before, no one knows what they are doing behind the scenes. And... According to the intelligence, and three months later, Princess Leia will marry Prince Barton."

   "It's been a long time, I thought Herman would be in a hurry to make trouble."

  Duanmuhuai was somewhat surprised when he heard Kanami's answer, but Kanami nodded.

   "I heard that there seems to be some problems in Herman's country. Not everyone supports Prince Barton."

   "He has already hit the capitals of other countries, is there any objection?"

  Duanmu Huai couldn't understand the whole thing. To be honest, no matter what method was used, being able to surprise the capital of a country with a surprise attack and occupy most of the country in a short period of time is already quite a feat. Logically speaking, at this time, Herman's own country shouldn't cooperate with the outside world and take the opportunity to eat Lisas in one go?

  What is there to object to?

"I heard that Herman was very unhappy about Prince Barton's collusion with the devil, because this time Prince Barton's actions did not inform the king and others, and he also colluded with the devil. Hermann made an impact, and..."

   Speaking of this, Kanami frowned.

"I'm not sure if my idea is correct, but when I was collecting information about Herman before, I learned that Prince Barton is not favored in Herman's country. It seems that the king and the ministers are more inclined to Let another princess take over the throne."

"I see."

  Hearing this, Duanmuhuai suddenly understood that at first glance, the operation of the Herman Kingdom was quite retarded, but if it was related to the struggle for the throne, it would be easy to understand. Prince Barton's attack on the capital of another country with the devil first, even if it succeeds, it may not be a good thing for the Kingdom of Herman. After all, this means that the possibility of Prince Barton's ascension to the throne has greatly increased, and of course it will not be happy for the Queen's faction.

  I'm afraid they still hope that Prince Barton will die in Lisas and don't go back. How can they help him?

In other words, these three months are actually the longest time that Herman's internal queens can delay. If Prince Barton is defeated or killed by Lisas within these three months, they will naturally be overjoyed . If Prince Barton could persist for these three months and even take the entire Lisas in one fell swoop—what else could he do?

  Pinch your nose and admit it.

   "What about the news about Princess Leia?"

   "It's nothing special, but occasionally she will appear in front of the people and say a few words, at least on the surface, there is nothing unusual, and it should be the real person, not a substitute."

   Speaking of this, Kanami also frowned.

   "Currently the inner city is very tight. Although the royal city was heavily guarded in the past, it is completely different from the present. Even I may not be able to sneak into it. And the guards inside are heavily guarded, so it may be difficult to move."

   "So the best way is to find a reason to enter and exit it openly... Is there any?"

   "I have an idea."

  Hearing this, Kanami seemed to think of something, and clapped her hands lightly.

   "There is an arena in the inner city. I heard that the princess is about to hold a competition there, and she will choose powerful warriors as guards..."

   "So you mean, as long as I participate in the competitive competition and win the championship, I can meet the princess in a fair manner... Well, this is not bad, but there is still one problem."

"Yes, the arena is in the inner city. To enter the arena, you must obtain a pass. It is not an easy task to obtain a pass. But I have inquired about a piece of information. Recently, a girl has been kidnapped in the connection And missing, many of them are daughters of nobles. In fact, some adventurers took over the commission during this period, but in the end all adventurers disappeared. Right now, no one dares to take over these commissions. If you can accept the commission If so, then you can negotiate with the nobles, and maybe you can get a pass from them."

   "Well, I knew it would be this way."

  Hearing Kanami's words, Duanmuhuai pouted, then turned around.

   "Then let's go to the Adventurer's Guild first."
