Chapter 1519: The Serious Knight
A small team of Kingdom knights crept cautiously among the ruins of the Fortress Heights.
They tiptoed to the remains of a courtyard.
Even though it has been abandoned for hundreds or thousands of years, one can still see the former sophistication and prosperity of this courtyard from the stone pillars carved with exquisite coats of arms and the intricate sculptures.
In the distant past, this might have been the council hall of the local nobles.
If there is a heraldry scholar from the royal capital, perhaps he can use these patterns to identify the identity of the former owner of this place.
But now, the knights of the kingdom have no intention of paying attention to these things.
The leading greatsword master raised his hand, and the entire team obeyed the order and stopped immediately.
He made several tactical gestures in succession.
Three people, including him, squatted behind a ruined wall, hiding themselves under the wildly growing bushes and weeds.
The insect stick user in the team, with the help of the Kinsect and the insect stick, jumped and leaped between the huge pillars that still stood tall after wind and rain, and reached the top of the tallest pillar.
He crouched down, took out a telescope and observed his surroundings.
A sweet-looking female knight with turquoise shoulder-length hair muttered, "I should have brought two Fukuki rabbits with me.
This way, one can go back to report the situation and ask for help, while the other can help us keep watch in the air.
Ugh, it’s all that annoying guy’s fault. Lepachi hasn’t showered or washed her hair for two days, and her hair tie is also lost. She’s really disqualified as an idol!”
The archer in the team laughed and joked: "Without the twintails, the 'diva' will become Lepchi."
Lepachi pouted when she heard that.
If it were usual, she would definitely turn her head with a "humph", and then say something like "I'm angry! I won't pay attention to you if you don't coax me!" and then act coquettishly.
But now, she seemed a little unmotivated.
Selvagina turned around and looked at the two of them calmly.
Before Lepachi and the bow hunter had time to get nervous, they saw their captain put down the camouflage branches in his hands, put his palm to his lips, and blew them a kiss.
"Reward you, cheer up."
"??!"
The two men's hair stood on end and they were stiff for a long time without being able to recover.
Although as members of the special forces team, they already knew that their captain was not as serious as he appeared.
But at this moment, they were still completely disgusted.
Looking at his two men who kept rubbing the goose bumps on their arms, Selvagina nodded with satisfaction and raised the branch again.
Physical fatigue is one thing, but mentally I am indeed refreshed and energetic.
At a high place, the Bug Stickman checked the surrounding environment and jumped down from the top of the pillar. He used the Kinsect to slow down and finally landed safely.
His movements were no longer as cautious as before, and he trotted over to his companions, "Within two or three kilometers, no large monsters have been found, so we are safe for the time being.
What do you two have those expressions on your faces? "
"Lepachi's eyes are dirty"
"I think I'm pretty agile, so why wasn't I the one doing the scouting just now?"
"Ah?" Bug Stick was confused.
"Don't worry about it." Selvagina threw away the branch he was hiding on and stood up. "Is the route to the castle smooth?"
The Bug Stick Master had to put aside his doubts for the time being, "There are two or three cunning dog dragons wandering around, and nothing else was found.
Are we going to hide in the castle?"
"Yes." Selvagina nodded his chin. "The castle is strong enough. Large monsters can't get into the underground part. We can rest there for a while."
"Maybe we can just withdraw to Elgard?" suggested the Insect Stick Master.
Selvagina hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "No, we haven't completely gotten rid of the Original Lord Silver Dragon's pursuit, it may appear again at any time.
If we go back now, there is a risk of attracting the original silver dragon to attack the base."
"That's right." The insect stick master nodded.
Selvagina threw the scarlet cape behind him and said, "Knights, follow my footsteps! March!"
"Yes Yes Yes"
Since the necessary preparations had already been completed, the support team moved very quickly.
In less than two hours, the Silver Edge Squad, the Kingdom Artillery Squad, and the Flame Village Hunter Squad had completed their preparations and boarded the airship fully armed.
The straight-line distance between the Fortress Hill, where the target of this trip was located, and Elgard was not too far. The support team that set out in the evening had already arrived near the Fortress Hill before dawn.
Taking into account the aggressiveness shown by the Original Lord Silver Dragon and in order to avoid attracting the former's attention too early, the airship did not directly enter the area where the Fortress Heights was located.
Instead, it landed about twenty kilometers away from the camp.
It would take at least several hours to walk this distance, but Elgard, like Flame Village, has a large number of fang hounds.
With the help of the fang hounds, they reached the camp in less than an hour.
At the same time, several Fukuki rabbits were released to search for the location of the original Duke Silver Dragon and the missing spy team.
Gordon and others who had just returned from the New World could not help but sigh.
This is more convenient than pterosaurs and guide insects.
When the hunters and knights, riding on their hounds, arrived at the camp in the southern part of the Fortress Hill, Fukuki Rabbit, who had been out on a scouting expedition, also returned.
I don’t know how Lieyan and the others communicated with these fat owls, but within two minutes, they started marking on an unfolded map of the Fortress Highlands.
"Fukumu Rabbit reported that the original silver dragon is at this location." Ni Tai pointed to the northwest corner of the map, "It is covered with snow.
Considering the speculation that the gnawing insect may not be able to tolerate cold weather, perhaps this is why it chose to live here.
Also, here, in the southwest, there is an electric dragon moving around, it is very far away from the original silver dragon, and it should not come into contact with us."
"Where is the location of the special agent team? Have you found anything?" Gordon asked.
Ni Tai crossed his arms and shook his head regretfully, "No, Fukumoto Rabbit has not found any trace of them."
Gordon looked a little heavy. "The flares we just fired didn't get a response. It seems their condition may not be very good."
"Not necessarily." Fiorina stared at the map for a long time, "Selvagina is an excellent leader, and the members of the special agent team are also very capable.
In addition, the terrain of the fortress heights is complex and there are many shelters to hide in, so the probability of their successful evacuation should be quite high.
Look here. "
The female knight pointed to the eastern part of the map and said, "There is a fairly complete castle here, with a very solid structure.
If I were Selvagina, I would lead the team here to take shelter, rest, and wait for rescue."
“A large castle?”
Gordon nodded slowly, "It seems that this is indeed a very good hiding place.
If he was hiding inside the castle, it would explain why he was not discovered by Fukukitani and did not notice the flares we sent out.
In that case, so be it. "
Gordon pointed to the area outside the castle on the map and said, "The Fire Team and the Artillery Team will come to this location to deploy defenses and release the Fukubiki Rabbit to continue to confirm the movements of the Original Lord Silver Dragon.
If you notice it starting to move, sound the alarm immediately.
Silver Edge and the Kingdom Knights go inside the castle to search and meet up with the spy team.
After completing the coordination, we will decide whether to directly launch the campaign against the original noble silver dragon depending on the situation."
