Magical Comprehensive Travel - Chapter 1152
After having breakfast, everyone gathered to discuss the future strategy.
While drinking the black tea brewed by Rinsley, everyone focused on the map on the desktop.
This map is a map drawn by the land spirits to help explore the surrounding environment in advance, and then drawn based on the information collected; Claire, who is in charge of the map, seems to have a talent for drawing, and the map is clearly drawn and easy to understand.
Having said that, except for the surrounding area of the ‘stronghold’ protected by the barrier, the rest of the place is almost blank.
Not even how wide the playing field is.
“Okay, let’s briefly summarize the information at hand.”
Claire put the teacup lightly on the table and started explaining the current battle situation.
There were a total of 24 teams participating in the main event of the Elf Sword Dance Festival – “Quanlan Ranbu”; according to the reports of the wind spirits that we sent out for reconnaissance, some teams were determined to lose on the first day.
In addition, most of the strong teams such as the ‘Four’ of the Kuna Empire and the ‘Holy Knights’ of the Holy Lucia Kingdom have already established a strong ‘stronghold’.
As for the other winning team, the “Dragon King Knights” belonging to the Dragon Duchy of Dragunya, they were temporarily one step behind the others due to the failure of the night raid on the first day. However, last time Waterloo should not let their strong team stumble.
“Actually, what I want to know most is the information about the ‘Purgatory Apostles’ team, but unfortunately, even the location of their ‘stronghold’ is currently unknown.”
“There seems to be an elves who are good at espionage among the members of the enemy team, and all the wind elves I sent out to scout were shot down by her.” Alice murmured regretfully.
“A wizard who is good at espionage tactics…”
A person suddenly appeared in Mu Hantian’s mind; that was a girl with emerald hair that he had seen at the opening ceremony.
At that time, because she was covered by a long gown, she could not recognize her appearance clearly, but the pair of pointed ears on the girl’s head definitely represented the characteristics of the Alfi tribe; the Alfi tribe has an innate height Stealth skills, many elves from this race specialize in espionage.
“In addition… there is one more interesting piece of information about the ‘Purgatory Apostles’ team.”
“Ok?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone listened carefully to Alice’s next words.
“Do you still remember the one who showed up at the opening ceremony – the black knight with a creepy aura all over his body?”
“How could I forget that guy…”
Claire responded with a straight face, and the girls also nodded in agreement.
“What happened to that black knight?”
“According to the report, the black knight seems to have left the ‘Purgatory Apostles’ team directly and is acting alone. Didn’t I just say that some teams were sure to lose on the first day——”
“No way, could it be…!”
“That’s right…it’s what you think. It’s the Vols Kingdom team that lost – they seem to have been wiped out by the black knight alone.”
“Only by myself, I can wipe out the entire representative team of the ‘Sword Dance Festival’…” Mu Hantian frowned.
“Then, what kind of contract spirit does the black knight command? If you know the attributes, you may be able to formulate some countermeasures.”
“I don’t know about this. But it should be a sword.” Alice replied immediately when she heard Claire’s question.
“The actions of the Black Knight are certainly worth paying attention to, but with so little information now, it’s not an option to be on guard. Besides, it’s not a good idea to stick to this ‘stronghold’ all the time.”
“You are right. If you are too alert to the enemy’s movements and dare not take action, it is a wrong strategy to put the cart before the horse.” Alice nodded in agreement.
That’s right, the key to qualifying for the finals – there are only a fixed number of ‘magic stones’. If we don’t take the initiative to attack, we will never be able to win.
At present, the ‘magic stones’ collected by the Scarlet team are only the two they **** from the representative team of the Kingdom of Ballustane.
If it goes on like this, even if all our members can survive until the end of the seventh day of the competition, if they have no more ‘magic stones’ than others, they will still not be able to advance to the finals.
At the beginning of the game, a certain number of teams are collected first, and they may guard the “stronghold” to consolidate their defenses, and wait for the other teams to kill each other before the fisherman can profitably capture the “magic stone” – but this is only speculation on paper. Trying to capture the elf envoys who were entrenched in the stronghold was as foolish as leading a small army to attack a city.
“In other words, we should catch all the teams by surprise when they haven’t fully established their ‘stronghold’—” Claire murmured. Right at this moment-
“Ah? Something broke into the barrier!”
Fianna shouted loudly, and everyone’s face immediately showed a nervous look.
“Look, what is that—!” Claire pointed to the sky above.
A winged rabbit can be seen flying in mid-air from the interlaced branches of greenery. Obviously, it was not an ordinary animal, but an elf.
“Could it be the elf that the enemy team released for reconnaissance?”
“Hmph, this kind of thing… see if I don’t shoot you down right away!”
Rinsley chanted a liberation art in Elvish language, and unfolded the magic elf outfit into the form of a magic bow——
“Wait a minute, stop first!”
Clang-dong-!
Claire grabbed the soup spoon and tapped Rinslet on the head.
“Yeah! It’s…it hurts, what are you trying to do!” Rinsley rubbed the sore spot on her head and scolded with tears.
“Blame yourself for being so reckless to shoot people down.” Claire shrugged and rolled her eyes. Then he explained: “Open your eyes to see clearly, that is the messenger of the messenger, not the sprite of the investigation.”
“What messenger?”
Rinsley frowned in confusion, and Mu Hantian and others also took a close look.
I saw that the elf circled around the crowd in a large circle, and then threw down something in its mouth. The object danced lightly in the air, and finally landed on the table; it turned out to be a secret letter.
Claire carefully confirmed that no traps were set on the secret letter before opening the seal to read the contents.
“What’s written on it?”
“This is an invitation to us to form an alliance.”
“Conclude an alliance?”
Everyone can’t help but wonder what the ground looks like.
………………
This sealed letter was sent by the Russell Bell Principality’s representative team, the Lie Po Division.
At the end of the article is the signature of the head of the regiment and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Russell Bell.
“It looks like this heraldic print is real. I don’t think it’s a fake.”
After reading the secret letter, Fianna, who has studied official letters, put it lightly on the table.
“The Duchy of Russell Bell…” Mu Hantian pondered.
The Duchy of Russell Bell – a small emerging country created after a group of radicals who originally belonged to the Holy Lucia Kingdom declared independence.
The country does not have a long history, and this is only the second time they have participated in the ‘Sword Dance Festival’. However, this team of girls who command high-ranking holy spirits is regarded as a dark horse with considerable potential in this conference.
“The most striking among them is their leader… Mira Pasher.”
“If I remember correctly, she participated in the competition at a young age of thirteen, so she is the youngest elf ambassador at this conference, right?”
Hearing Mu Hantian’s question, Claire suddenly puffed out her cheeks and rebuked: “Why do you memorize other people’s information so carefully, you pervert!”
“Don’t say words that are easily misunderstood, okay? Claire clearly told me to remember.” Mu Hantian was speechless.
“By the way, Claire, don’t you think it’s wrong? It’s not long before the start of the game, and some teams will start looking for someone to form an alliance at this point in time.” Mu Hantian changed the topic at the right time.
“You’re right… there’s something strange about it.” Claire nodded in agreement.
According to the competition rules of “Quanlan Ranwu”, there is no restriction on participating teams from forming alliances with each other.
However, logically speaking, alliances are only used when there is a last resort; most of them are the dangerous chess that those defeated teams make to survive until the end, not a relationship that can be concluded casually. The reason is very simple – even if they stand on a common front, only the top four teams can advance in the end.
Looking at the past, when the Elf Sword Dance Festival was held with the competition repertoire of “Gunlan Ranbu”, there were almost no examples of forming alliances in the early stages.
“This is most likely a trap…”
“Yeah… The enemy will definitely set up an ambush, and we will catch them all when we reach the negotiated location.” Rinsley agreed with Fianna’s opinion.
“But, don’t you think it’s a little weird? This method is too crude, maybe… something happened that we didn’t know about.” Claire couldn’t help guessing.
“If this secret letter is not a trap, I think you can try it along the way. Regardless of whether you want to form a common front with the other party or not, just being able to share information is very valuable.”
Alice is not a knight from a family of martial arts, and her ideas are very practical.
“Furthermore, it is said that the elves of the ‘Lie Po Division’ are all powerful holy elves. If we can form an alliance with them, they may become our reliable reinforcements.”
“Han Tian, what do you think?”
Claire asked for his opinion, and everyone else focused their attention on Mu Hantian.
“This invitation is indeed likely to be a trap. However, I think there is still value in going to the appointment. Moreover, our strategic policy has not been formulated yet – in this case, even if we are caught in the trap, we will act accordingly when the time comes, right?”
“Han Tian classmates have said so, and I am also willing to agree.”
Rinsley replied, and Alice and Fianna nodded in agreement.
“Then… I decided to meet with the ‘Lie Po Division’ to discuss the alliance.”
After Claire nodded, she stretched out her hand and placed her hand above the end of the letter, above the place where the Principality’s coat of arms was stamped.
She chanted a spell in Elvish in a low voice, and the heraldic seal burned in response, turning into a little fire elf.
It turned out that Claire was liberating the guide spirit that was sealed in the seal.
It is a kind of the most inferior spirit, and it can only do simple work such as leading the way; but because of its convenient use, many wizards will use it to communicate with each other.
“The negotiating place designated by the other party is about two hours away on foot from here.”
“Do they have a designated number?”
“That’s not true. However, we can’t all five of us go there together, can we?”
“That’s right…”
If other teams attacked when the ‘stronghold’ was weak, I can’t imagine how miserable the situation would be.
Moreover, the whole group of people walking in the forest is not only too ostentatious, but also makes the negotiating parties have unnecessary vigilance against us.
“I’ll go alone.” Mu Hantian said.
“How can it be possible! It’s not what I like to say. As a man, you go to an appointment alone, and you will only be more heavily guarded. Those bad rumors of yours have long since become scandals spread all over the world.”
“Huh? What are you talking about? What scandal?”
“you do not know?”
“Uh, I probably guessed it from your tone.” Mu Hantian lowered his voice and let out an unpleasant murmur.
“This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is… With your character, who… Who knows if you will let the girls of the ‘Lie Po Division’ obey you without knowing it? Well… let me remind you, it’s a crime to attack a thirteen-year-old girl.”
“What are you thinking about all day long!” Mu Hantian complained half-rolling his eyes.
“Hmm, having said that, Han Tian is indeed very strong; considering the factors that may be a trap, it’s more reassuring to have him with him… um, it’s like carrying a bodyguard.”
Having said this, Claire cleared her throat and continued to declare: “So, so, Han Tian must accompany me, the negotiator, to the appointment!”
“Wait, why is the conclusion like this?”
Alice protested sharply.
“You are too cunning to sneak away like this!”
“What is sneaking away!” Claire choked back with a flushed face.
“Alas… I was destined to stay here…”
Fianna on the side sullenly dipped her index finger and said with a pity.
“This is also impossible.”
She, who used to be a princess, should logically be the best candidate for a negotiator. But——even without considering the issue of ‘stronghold’, Fianna has not received field training in the academy, and it is really disturbing to take her on the road; besides, if this invitation is a trap laid by the enemy, or if the If you are attacked on the way, it will be difficult to fight while being distracted to protect her. “
“This… In this case, let me accompany me. Han Tian and I were partners when we were in the Knights.” Alice cleared her throat and wrapped her arms tightly around Kamito.
She boldly pressed her soft and huge plump **** on Mu Hantian’s arm, and Mu Hantian couldn’t help blushing.
“How can you do this, Han Tian is my slave elf! He is my property!”
Claire embraced Mu Hantian’s arm in a position of not losing; although her **** were much smaller, she vaguely felt the right soft touch, which also made Mu Hantian look bitter.
“Since it’s Claire’s stuff, it’s also Miss Ben’s stuff.”
“Rinsley, what is your inexplicable theory!”
Intense cremation burst out between the three eldest ladies.
Mu Hantian sighed helplessly to himself and said, “Well, would you like to hear my opinion?”
Mu Hantian raised his hand to speak.
“I think the best person for a date with me is Claire.”
“Did you hear that, of course it’s me who accompanies Han Tian… Huh?”
It was only then that Claire realized what Mu Hantian had said.
“You, what did you say?”
“Why did you choose Claire?”
“Uh… this is…”
Alice and Rinsley pressed towards Mu Hantian in dissatisfaction. Mu Hantian showed a troubled expression and took a few steps backwards—
“You two, don’t be like this, isn’t it embarrassing to see Han Tian?”
Claire stood up in front of Mu Hantian to protect him.
“Didn’t you hear clearly? Han Tian said that I was the best person to accompany him. Letting Han Tian go alone would really teach people to worry about it, so I had to accompany him.”
Claire showed a smug and calm expression, tugging at her twin ponytails.
“Wow, Han Tian, give me a reason!”
“This is too cunning, can’t we accompany you?”
The two of them had tears in their eyes and pursed their lips in protest.
“No… I decided that Claire was the most suitable candidate after a comprehensive evaluation—”
Mu Hantian scratched his head and explained to the two the reasons for his choice.
Claire’s overall performance in various grades is quite outstanding, and her stealth skills are particularly outstanding, so she can show her talents in this thousand tasks.
In contrast, Alice, a chivalrous polymer, is not very good at stealth operations: for example, she has excellent performance in practical performance, but only in the stealth skill item, she only got a grade of C.
And Rinsley, who is good at sniping enemies from a distance, is not suitable for this task, and arranging her to serve as a defensive work in the ‘stronghold’ can bring out the true value of her abilities.
After listening to Mu Hantian’s explanation—
“Hmm… Listening to you, it seems like…”
“It seems to be quite reasonable…”
Although the two were still a little unwilling, they finally accepted Mu Hantian’s decision.
