Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 153: The fog of war

Views:

Renn stayed in the temple tribe for several months, and naturally knew that under the pit was the temple of Morogos, the former knight of the seventy-two generals of the Munkel Civilization.

But even Witch Sacrifice Mafa said that after going down, no one came up alive. It was a "dead place".

Ren also knew that Ymir came to the temple.

Not to mention whether there were "divine power crystals" under the temple, even if there were, he felt that he should persuade the eldest princess not to die.

What's more, in this forest, no one can escape the perception of the Coleman clan.

Coleman's priests not only tame monsters to become scouts, but also various bugs, plants, and even rainwater.

When the "elder-level" masters are dispatched, no matter who wins or loses, both sides will definitely suffer losses in the fight.

Both sides are allies, and Ren is not willing to see them fighting to the death.

Then, he volunteered and took on the task of "persuading people to quit."

... ...

Renn, Bazel, "Elder Ghost Mushroom" Dalle and a group of Warcraft knights went to the area where the wave of "enemies" were discovered.

After two days of driving, they finally stopped in an area where the "fog of war" was obviously artificially arranged.

Obviously, Ymir and the others were fully prepared when they came.

"Dr. Lane, those people are in that wetland now. But they are extremely alert and they are all masters. We have not determined their specific location..."

"I understand, let me and senior Bazel go in next."

"Well, please be careful, Dr. Lane. If anything is abnormal, take care of yourself first. Our soldiers will rush in immediately."

"good."

After a brief conversation, the large group of Coleman soldiers disappeared into the forest.

Renn walked into the fog.

"Fog of war" is a kind of artificial fog, which is necessary for marching and is also the favorite method of assassins.

In the dense fog where you can't see your fingers, the Assassin's Gate is like an erratic ghost, able to easily cut the enemy's throat. And for a werewolf like Bazel who was good at stealth and detection, this thick fog was also his best disguise.

Obviously, there must be high-level assassins lurking in the periphery.

There is no need to take the initiative to look for it. Once the "prey" walks into the ambush circle, the assassins will naturally come to the door early.

Ren didn't dare to be careless and was afraid of causing misunderstanding. He directly put the coat of arms that Ymir gave him on his finger, and then held it up in front of him, fearing that no one would see it.

Ren brought Bazel with him because he was afraid that he would guess wrong. If it weren't for Ymir, he himself might be in danger.

The Colemans were not asked to come in together because their tall figures would definitely trigger a war if they met each other, and the two sides would not have a chance to negotiate.

Renn had received a year of professional assassin training, and he knew very well that assassins not only lurk, but also set traps.

So, rather than tiptoeing in, it’s better to let people come to him.

After breaking into the fog and walking as far as he could, he shouted loudly: "I am Renn Hermes, here to negotiate!"

He only announced his own name, but did not say the name of the eldest princess, fearing that there would be room for maneuver in case of an enemy.

As expected, his move quickly attracted high-level assassins lurking somewhere.

Just when Ren was completely unaware, a dagger appeared at his feet.

This is a warning: Private campsite, state your intentions, and trespassers will die.

Renn raised the ring and shouted: "My name is Renn. If you recognize this coat of arms, please take me to see the owner of the coat of arms."

Ren didn't know whether the other party could see it or not, so he deliberately lit the torch, making the golden rose ring sparkle.

As soon as he said these words, he saw the mist not far away surge slightly, and the mist quickly condensed into a human shape. Then in the blink of an eye, he turned into a leather-armored assassin wearing a gray hood and covering his face.

"What a brilliant stealth method!"

Ren sighed in his heart, this extraordinary ability blended into the fog is really weird.

The assassin looked carefully at the ring in Ren's hand. His eyes hidden under the hood were slightly surprised. He said in a low voice: "The friend next to you makes me feel very dangerous. I want to know who he is." who."

This was a perception circle set up by others. Even though Bazel was a legend, he didn't think it was possible to hide it from the other party.

He directly revealed his true identity and took off his mask, revealing the face of a bearded uncle wolf.

The assassin was obviously stunned. He didn't expect to be a "Top Ten Legend".

But now that we know each other, there is nothing to ask.

"You guys wait a moment, I'll go report."

As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin's figure melted into the mist again.

... ...

After hearing this, the two Rennes stopped walking around and waited at the same spot.

Bazel looked at the direction in which the assassin disappeared, smacked his lips, and said: "The fifth-level palace assassin, Blackwater Tower's secret stealth ability [Mist and Shadow Body] is very strong."

Renn breathed a sigh of relief. Since the other party knew this heraldic ring, it was probably Ymir himself.

And they didn't stay in the fog long,

The assassin came back, his voice was so erratic that people didn't know which direction he was, "Follow me, His Highness wants to see you. Don't step on it, there is a trap."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren's perception stopped seeing people.

But Bazel found a certain direction and followed it.

Renn could only follow behind the big guy, carefully stepping on his footsteps and learning the exact same steps to walk in.

After walking for about a kilometer or two, the fog began to fade, and then they saw a bonfire.

Beside the campfire, there were several marching tents.

Six fully armed high-level extraordinary people were looking at Ren and the two of them curiously.

Warriors, mages, assassins, hunters and priests... a pretty standard adventure team.

There were a few Rennes who had seen portraits in various notices, and "Zhi Nao" also compared them instantly.

The former commander of Omar's First Mechanic Division [Storm General] Baron Askpa...

The former Omartin Knight Commander [Magic Swordsman] Rein Root...

Royal Monastery of Oma [Archbishop] Friedel...

Each one is a famous fifth-level transcendent, and each one is very strong.

Although she was wearing a gas mask, Renn still recognized Ymir's beautiful long golden hair and the palace rapier at her waist.

He walked straight over, made a gentleman's salute, and said hello: "Your Highness Ymir, long time no see."

Ymir was also surprised to see Ren here.

Out of politeness, she also took off her mask, revealing her delicate and pretty face, and responded: "Long time no see, Dr. Lane."

The subordinates around her stared at Renn again and again curiously.

They are Ymir's direct descendants, so they naturally know a lot of inside information, and they have also heard about Ren's existence.

Now that I see a real person, I can't help but be curious. How can this seemingly ordinary low-level extraordinary person be so valued by Her Royal Highness the Princess

What surprised them even more was that they actually saw a low-level transcendent in the depths of the "Forest of Ashes"

Any animal or plant here can kill mid- to low-level extraordinary beings.

But when they saw Bazel next to Renn, a hint of caution flashed in their eyes.

To be able to have a "Top Ten Legend" as a guard, they knew that the young man in front of them must be something special.

Renn certainly knew why these guys looked at Bazel with such vigilance. After all, in Storm Lake, Bazel had sneak-attacked the eldest princess and almost killed her. At this meeting, both sides felt a little unnatural.

He quickly introduced: "Mr. Bazel is my friend. He followed me to ensure that I will not die in the mouth of the monster. He has no ill intentions."

"..."

Ymir didn't say much.

After all, in that situation, both of them were the ones being plotted against, so there couldn't really be any irresolvable hatred.

Although when she was in the City of Glory, she knew that Bazel seemed to be protecting Ren for some reason. But now seeing one of his legendary figures actually escorting someone to the depths of the "Coleman Forest", Ymir was also surprised.

At this moment, she did have countless questions in her mind, so she asked Ren: "Are you here specifically for me? And...how did you know I'm here?"

... ...

Ymir's operation this time is top secret.

In the dense jungle where the trees are taller than the mountains, their group is as inconspicuous as the gravel in the desert. But she didn't expect that someone would directly find the precise location.

Upon hearing this, Ren did not immediately tell his purpose of coming, but said to Ymir: "I have something to say to you alone."

Ymir raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "This is my most trusted subordinate. If you have anything, you can just say it."

Renn was not afraid of offending anyone, and insisted: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, the matter is very important, I can only tell you."

He knew that Ymir was not really careless when he said this.

And this is the best choice from the perspective of the superior.

This kind of situation shows any distrust, and it is easy for loyal subordinates to have thoughts such as "Her Royal Highness the Princess does not trust me?", "There is a suspicious person among my companions"...

It will be difficult to lead the team.

This kind of "black face" can only be played by an outsider.

After all, there's a lot at stake here.

Although Ren knew that those who could be brought by Ymir must be her trusted subordinates.

But no matter who it is, he believes in Ymir, but he can't trust others.

Last time in Storm Lake, the eldest princess was plotted against, and she was seriously injured and fled to the wasteland alone. If the dignified princess made such a huge mistake in her assassination, it would be surprising if the people around her didn't have any problems.

Now let's not say that he is negotiating on behalf of the Coleman clan. This is something that cannot be made public.

And Metternich’s letter is also a very sensitive one.

Ren now also knows that the "Clemens F. Metternich" who likes to play cards is from the lineage of the queen and the eldest prince. He is a political enemy and a mortal enemy of the eldest princess's faction.

No matter what the content or purpose of Metternich's letter was, if a third party knew it, it might cause trouble to several parties.

... ...

Hearing Ren's insistence, Ymir glanced at him and said nothing. He stood up and walked towards a tent behind him, saying calmly: "Come in and talk."

Lane's "black face" virtually resolved a possible crisis of trust.

After all, he was an outsider and a low-level transcendent, so no one cared about him.

Several high-level extraordinary people on the side remained silent.

They ignored Ren, who followed him into the tent, and instead focused their attention on Bazel, who was not far away, looking vaguely on guard.
