Chapter 127 In Blood and Fire
This order is ruthless.
He made it clear that he didn’t take Andrea’s life seriously.
She felt like a rag that was thrown away after being conveniently used.
All kinds of emotions came to mind.
Irritated, depressed, crazy, resentful, regretful...
She really resented this order.
But can Andrea say no?
cannot!
She was trapped in it, unable to extricate herself, and could only watch as she was pushed into the abyss step by step.
"Colen, let's walk faster."
Andrea took a few deep breaths, adjusted her mood, and said in as calm a tone as possible.
She wanted to end this matter as soon as possible.
As long as there is a result.
No matter what his ending is, at least he doesn't have to be as anxious and worried as he is now.
"Okay."
Dalton opened the way with his head down, and when he replied, he didn't even look back.
In the past, every time he talked to Andrea, no matter what he was doing, he would always keep his eyes on Andrea's face.
Instead of not even looking at it like now.
Andrea was too preoccupied to notice this.
The feelings and relationships between people are gradually worn away, indifferent, and finally become extremely stiff in such little details and under such neglect again and again.
It was like a stranger whom I had never met or understood before.
Dalton could not recognize or tell whether the person behind him was the Andrea he knew.
That beautiful little girl who is pure, innocent, kind, and has an unparalleled bright smile.
I sighed quietly in my heart, and my emotions were extremely complicated.
Shaking his head, Dalton put aside his distracting thoughts and stopped thinking about Andrea.
He diverted his attention, deliberately leaving the boss on the road, recalling the reminders left for him, and repeatedly determining what to do next.
The information left by the boss was not concealed, and he bluntly said that doing so would be more dangerous.
If he doesn't want to, he can withdraw, just keep it a secret.
But Dalton didn't care whether it was dangerous or not.
He just wanted to make those who forced Andrea into not being like Andrea pay the price.
Anger burned in Dalton's chest.
The speed increased, and the road was not even opened. When encountering thorns and weeds, they simply ran over them.
Andrea followed behind. Suddenly there was no good way to go, but she couldn't complain and could only grit her teeth and endure it.
There is no way, this is what she asked for.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the col and stopped to observe.
The entrance to the mountain col is narrow, but looking inside, the hinterland is wide and open.
If you look down from a high altitude, the mountain col in the night looks like a ferocious beast that is about to bite people.
Those thatch trees growing on the flat ground, as tall as a person and as straight as swords, were illuminated by the "moonlight", making them shadowy and cold and eerie.
The chilling atmosphere inside the col is increasingly highlighted.
Perhaps there was something wrong in her mind. Standing at the entrance of the col and looking in, Andrea's calves were trembling a little, and she didn't dare to go deeper for a while.
"What's wrong with you?"
Hearing the footsteps behind him stop, Dalton turned around and asked.
We are almost at our destination, so don't make a fuss at this time.
"No... nothing."
Andrea's voice trembled slightly, and she quickly bit her lip, using pain stimulation to help her regain her composure.
She raised her right hand, held her right ear and hair, carelessly rubbed the front and back of the alexandrite, activated the function of transmitting voice messages, and
asked at the same time: "Are you sure your boss is here?"
Dalton shrugged. He shrugged and said truthfully: "I'm not sure, but it should be there. The traces he left ended here and he didn't go anywhere else." "
Really?"
Andrea looked into the col. After looking at it, he seemed to be sighing and said, "It's so big and flat here. Except for weeds and shrubs, there are no wild animals. It's really a good place to rest and spend the night." "Who says it's not?" Dalton agreed with
Ender
. Liya's words, "The boss is the boss. He can choose the place to camp better than us."
As he said that, he turned around, put his hands to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted loudly towards the mountain col: "Boss, We have come to seek refuge with you, please accept me."
In terms of acting, the five brothers are not professionals, but they are not bad at all.
As a member of the fraternity, Dalton is conscientious in his work. Even though he doesn't know what's going on elsewhere, he still carries out his part meticulously.
Even if you're singing a one-man show, you can't lose track.
The shouts echoed in the mountain col, but there was no answer.
"Could it be that it's not here?"
Dalton wondered to himself, then walked into the col and started searching inside.
Andrea had no choice but to follow, and followed Dalton across the flat ground in the mountain col, calling for the boss one after another.
In the cave, Iris watched this scene with interest.
What?
You ask Dalton why he couldn't discover the cave?
In order to lurk better, Iris Clark waited for her part to come on, but she took out a mimic door panel from her small bag and blocked the hole.
Not to mention the naked eye, even the reconnaissance witchcraft cannot detect it.
Iris is willing to do anything to have fun and to have fun.
It doesn’t matter if you pay for dry food yourself.
"Where have you been hiding?" What
surprised Iris even more was that she didn't find any sign of Link.
This guy hides really well.
Next time I must play hide and seek with this guy to see who can hide better.
Well, it was decided happily.
Tracey Lucia looked at the scene of Dalton and Andrea spinning around in the col with cold eyes, and she believed more and more in her intuition.
Link Grande is definitely hiding somewhere in the mountain col right now, preparing to ambush them.
The insider was probably exposed before the message was delivered during the day.
The reason why Link Grande did not eliminate the internal agents in advance was most likely because he wanted to lure them over and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Tracey Lucia didn't know where Link Grande got his confidence, but the more this happened, the more careful she had to deal with it.
After thinking for a while, Trish Lucia decided to launch a wave of fire bombing first.
Anyway, it has been exposed.
"First fire a few rounds and then talk."
She gave the order with an indifferent tone.
For wizard apprentices, the main function of level 0 witchcraft is really to learn the rules of witchcraft and assist in research, not to fight.
In the highly civilized wizarding world, rune items and witchcraft weapons almost always play a decisive role in the battles between wizard apprentices.
In rare cases, such as when there is no magic stone, such as a one-on-one arena battle with restricted conditions, or when runic items and witchcraft are exhausted, the only way to compete is with level 0 witchcraft.
Of course Tracy Lucia wouldn't still explore the grass with a straight face even though she knew that there might be a trap in the mountain col.
Naturally, we first cut the grass to see if we can scare out the snake.
"yes."
The six members of "Pure Blood Will" did not take the lives of Dalton Colen and Andrea Norman seriously.
They took out various accessories and assembled them into individual weapons similar to mortars or grenade launchers.
The two three-person teams have a clear division of labor and a tacit understanding of cooperation.
Responsible for maintaining the orientation and coordinates of reconnaissance,
adjusting parameters for firing, and
loading to ensure the supply of self-detonating mines.
"Fire!"
Trish Lucia gave the order, and the two trios fired self-detonating fire mines one after another towards the mountain col, covering and bombarding them.
One after another, self-destructing fire thunder roared through the night sky and fell into the mountain col.
Either explode in the air, or explode wildly on the ground.
"Hurry up and hide."
Dalton reacted quickly when he was suddenly attacked.
He ran towards the foot of the mountain, not forgetting to warn Andrea who was stunned by the attack that was launched without even saying hello.
The explosions continued, and the flames burned.
The self-detonating fire thunder blasted wildly for two rounds, blasting out craters one after another.
Dalton couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that Andrea was still frozen in place, not moving for a long time.
A war between heaven and man began in my mind.
To save or not to save, that is the question.
In the end, old friendships prevailed.
Dalton, who had already found a hiding place, couldn't hold back. He turned around and rushed towards Andrea, trying to drag her to a safe place.
"Colen, don't come over here."
Andrea finally came to her senses when she heard another whistling sound above her head.
She looked up and saw a group of two self-detonating fire bombs coming towards her.
She knows the existence of alchemical products that can completely kill people here,
Her panic was far greater than Dalton's.
Seeing Dalton risking his life to save her, her heart suddenly hurt, tears rolled down uncontrollably, and she yelled crazily.
What a fool.
Let her die. After all, it was her own fault.
I don’t want to implicate Dalton.
However, her repentance was too late.
Dalton and the self-destructing fire thunder arrived at her side at the same time.
A few booms.
In Andrea's intense regret, two self-detonating fire mines exploded one after another.
Fortunately, Dalton put up the defensive shields of all the defensive rune items on his body in time to withstand the explosion damage of the self-destructing fire mine.
Apart from being disgraced, the two of them suffered no harm.
"Why are you so stupid?"
Dalton quickly hugged Andrea and ran out to the foot of the mountain. As he ran, he yelled, "Standing there, are you going to die?"
Andrea was stunned as she staggered. Looking at Dalton who was roaring angrily, big tears kept rolling down like broken pearls: "I'm sorry, Colen." The
two of them hugged each other and ran, unable to go any faster.
The whistling sound came again at this time, and the bombardment of self-detonating fire mines came one after another without stopping at all.
If they continue to be entangled like this, neither of them will survive.
"Forgive me, Colen!"
Andrea suddenly made up her mind and murmured softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she broke free from Dalton's arms, pushed him aside, and ran in the other direction.
While running, she activated all the defensive runes on her body.
Target Dalton and put layers of defense on him.
Even the Water Shield Technique and Wood Shield Technique, which I was not very proficient in, were used in time.
After doing this, Andrea raised her head and cursed angrily at the bright "moon": "Smelly bitch, I quit! Come on, kill me if you can!" Continuous
oppression and forced, no The bombardment of greetings in advance has aroused Andrea's resistance.
Dalton's desperate efforts fully catalyzed his resistance.
Andrea knew that she actually had no way to retaliate, so she could only vent her anger like this.
"Tsk, you stupid person."
Tracey Lucia looked at this scene with a sneer on her lips, and then ordered, "Follow her! Target her with saturation bombing."
However, she still did not use the "keychain" ".
"Yes."
Six members of "Pure Blood Will" responded in unison.
During the bombing, they assembled several more pieces of throwing equipment.
A bombardment can now fire six self-destructing mines.
It's too late, but it's soon.
After the words fell, six self-detonating fire mines were fired, hitting Andrea's head in an instant.
Dalton fell to the ground and struggled to get up, trying to save Andrea.
But he could only watch helplessly as she was blasted by six self-detonating fire thunders, and her figure was submerged in the flames and dust associated with the violent explosion.
When the dust settled and white light came, Andrea's figure had disappeared.
There were only scattered pieces of flesh and body left on the spot, crackling flames, and the nauseating smell of burning.
The academy guarantees that you will not die, but it does not guarantee that you will not be harmed!
"Uh~ah..."
Dalton roared like a wounded beast, but he could do nothing.
He could only walk and crawl, and jumped into a cave to hide himself.
Tracy Lucia stopped caring about Dalton.
The purpose of the bombing was not to punish internal agents, nor to vent anger, but to alert others and find Link Grande who might be hiding in a corner of the mountain.
"Stop."
More than a dozen rounds of bombings, almost all the places in the mountain col that could be convenient for hiding people were blown up.
But still didn't see the target.
In this case, either she made a mistake in judgment, or the target relied on a defensive magic weapon to withstand the explosion damage.
"Get close for reconnaissance."
Tracey Lucia issued a new command.
The two members in charge of reconnaissance immediately broke away from the battle, and each controlled a circular flying saucer and a bionic eagle. From different directions, different heights, and in various reconnaissance modes, they conducted a thorough reconnaissance scan of the small mountain col.
Dalton was found huddled in the cave as expected.
There is still no trace of the target.
"Group one, group two, cross alert, move forward."
The bombing failed to scare away the target, and the reconnaissance failed to find the target. Tracey Lucia could only take the measure she least wanted to take.
Field search.
This is really a no-brainer.
In this way, our side has turned from darkness to light and lost an advantage.
The two trios were well-trained and immediately prepared for battle. One after another, they headed towards the small mountain col.
Link was lying dozens of steps away from Trish Lucia, his whole body buried in the soil and covered in a special cloak.
In order to stay hidden, he didn't even dare to cast his peripheral vision on anyone.
He didn't even dare to take a breath.
Learn the enemy's arrangements and movements purely by eavesdropping.
When he heard the seven people setting off one after another towards the small mountain col, he breathed out softly.
People with "pure blood will" are not fools.
It's impossible for every move to be in line with Link's expectations.
The idea of exploding for more than a dozen rounds before talking about suspicion of fraud was beyond Link's expectations.
Link had just been mentally prepared for the ambush to fail and was ready to launch a backup plan.
Quietly withdraw, not willing to fight.
Iris Clark is so smart, she probably knows how to act accordingly.
Fortunately, the "pure-blooded" person was too determined to kill him. Even though he knew it was a dangerous place, he still went to explore it reluctantly.
There is still a possibility that the ambush plan will succeed.
After all, the place where the trap is buried is in the center of the mountain col. It is not a corner that is suitable for traps in the general sense.
Moreover, in addition to the comprehensive stimulation of mental power and magic power, the delayed self-destruction fire mine will not be affected by the explosion of other self-destruction fire mines.
In the cave, Iris saw that the previous wave of bombings, the roaring sound, and the gorgeous scene were not caused by her, and she felt very bad.
Fortunately, it won't be long before she can explode too.
Tracy Lucia safely entered the mountain col, waved her hand, and sent both groups of people out to search.
She herself also walked around the craters created by the explosion, carefully examining the uneven ground.
Due to the topography of the mountain col, there are only two places where people can hide and set up ambushes.
Either a cave or underground.
What Tracy Lucia is checking is whether there are any traces of excavation.
Link Grande has a high-level affinity with both water and wood elements, so it is impossible for him to know earth witchcraft.
He wanted to hide himself and lay traps. Apart from existing caves and potholes, he had no choice but to dig, which would inevitably leave traces.
Gradually, Tracy Lucia made a circle and walked to the flattest center area of the col.
"Report, no target found."
One group searched the left side of the col, but found nothing.
"Report, no target found."
The second team left Dalton Colen aside, who resisted but was quickly subdued, and stepped forward to report.
Perhaps as luck would have it, all seven people gathered in the middle of the plain.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Iris laughed wildly and detonated the trap without hesitation.
The recharged version of the delayed self-destruction fire mine and the ordinary delayed self-destruction fire mine, including the killer weapon, are activated at the same time.
A deafening roar sounded.
Mushroom clouds rise and rise.
Everything was silent.
