Chapter 255: Chapter 248: Join the Fight

"Sister Moumou, let’s check what the mission is first. If it’s not urgent, let’s not deliver it to the boss, so we won’t miss our meal," Hu Daoke glanced at the kitchen and said in a low voice.

He knew that if it was really a mission from headquarters, Luo’er wouldn’t dare to delay it and would urge them to set off immediately, in which case their lunch would be ruined.

"This..." Tangmo hesitated as he looked at him.

Hu Daoke whistled and, with a nod of his mouth, said to her, "Hand it over to him, our deputy captain, let him have a look!"

Cheng Ziang glared at him dissatisfiedly, then reached out to her for the message.

"But if I don’t give it to Luo’er..." said Tangmo with difficulty.

"The message from the headquarters, it doesn’t matter who reads it within our team, don’t be so rigid! hand it over to me!" said Cheng Ziang.

"Oh!" Hearing his explanation, Tangmo nodded and handed the message to him.

Cheng Ziang read the paper and shook his head, placing it on the table.

"What did it say?" Hu Daoke asked.

"Headquarters has found out the whereabouts of the CIA agents. They want us to get closer to them. It’s best to snatch Arya’s Blade. If we can’t snatch it, don’t let those guys succeed!" Cheng Ziang said casually.

"Then we have to set off immediately!" Hu Daoke said regretfully.

"It also says that we should pay attention to safety, safety first, items second. It doesn’t matter if we can’t take the items, but we can’t have accidents!" Cheng Ziang went on to explain.

"So, does that mean it doesn’t matter if we go or not?" Hu Daoke said jubilantly.

"Let Luo’er decide. After all, that’s the attitude of the headquarters. It doesn’t matter even if we leave after eating," said Cheng Ziang.

"Yes, yes, let the boss decide. Don’t delay our meal!" Hu Daoke nodded quickly in agreement.

"Oh!" Tangmo noddded dullly, complying with their wishes.

In a short time, Luo’er and Baiyue brought their steaming stew. Cheng Ziang gave him the message and explained why they had acted as they did. Luo’er didn’t get angry, but took the message with a frown and began to read.

"How is it?" asked Hu Daoke cautiously.

"It’s fine, let’s eat before we go!" Luo’er put down the paper and said calmly.

Seeing his attitude, Hu Daoke and Tangmo finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were well acquainted with Luo’er, who was ready to forgive all their mistakes as long as they didn’t violate the team’s rules.

Yalunte was very pleased with the meal. He hadn’t expected that Luo’er, the team leader, would be not only competent and friendly, but also an excellent cook. He was simply perfect. Yalunte even began to believe that Luo’er might be that child who the headquarters had fostered for him, mixed with Elf blood.

Of course, his thoughts were impossible. The combination of Aud people and Elf blood essentially made them from another world and couldn’t survive on Earth. Moreover, the younger the Otherworlders were, the more severe their reaction to the magic-less Earth. Especially since babies can’t use the neutralizing potion, they are basically waiting to die once they are born on Earth.

He also began to understand why the two girls around Luo’er were so infatuated with him. From the time Yalunte had met up with the advance team, he noticed that when the two girls looked at Luo’er, their eyes were full of tenderness and love. Luo’er also looked at them tenderly, but lacked love in his eyes.

After lunch, they had to hit the road. Although headquarters stressed safety and seemed to want them to be passive about the matter, Luo’er didn’t want to back down. They had failed once before; they couldn’t fail this time.

The advice from headquarters was that their team had to remain intact. But on this basis, Luo’er still hoped to complete the mission, even if they couldn’t complete it fully, completing half of it would be good too.

According to the information from the headquarters, they had detected the traces of these special agents in the intelligence network. Although their behavior had become very similar to that of the Otherworld people, someone could still sense their differences.

Based on the information obtained, someone had spotted this gang of special agents gathering about fifty kilometers northwest of Saint Bawa. It seemed like they had found something. After falling for the decoy strategy last time, Luo’er was filled with resentment. Now that he knew these guys had found someone, he naturally wanted to vent his anger.

Luo’er estimated the distance on the map. Their location was roughly seventy kilometers from where these agents were assembling. If they rode fast, they could catch up with them by nightfall. Although they couldn’t do much at night, as long as they could track them down and keep a close watch, that would be enough.

The idea from headquarters was, if they couldn’t acquire Arya’s Blade, they’d prefer this group of special agents didn’t get hold of it either. Letting the Otherworld people handle it independently was better than it being taken to the United States.

They rode steadily along the road, and managed to cover fifty kilometers before sunset. The rest of the journey required them to cross through woods and over hills. Continuing on the road may have led them around in circles and straight into a trap. Thus, the best plan was to go through the hills and catch them from behind.

While technically forestland, the terrain here was relatively flat, mostly consisting of hills, incomparable to the mountains of Masya. After hard travel through vast mountainous regions for over a month, everyone still bore a psychological scar when it came to Masya.

However, even the plains and hilly forests, filled with numerous trees and shrubs, also severely restricted their speed. They walked until late into the night, eventually reaching a spot around three kilometers from the target location.

Luo’er decided to take a rest here. There were no advantages in a night battle in the Otherworld, and Earth’s night vision equipment was not applicable. Besides, if those special agents and the Judgement Legion members engaged in conflict at this close proximity, they would definitely hear it.

As CIA agents, Luo’er believed this group would most likely not engage in combat against the Judgement Legion with cold weapons. That would purely be a case of giving a log to the woodcutters, so they were more likely to heavily utilize Earth’s weaponry. After all, compared to the Otherworld people, their knowledge of firearms was much deeper. They wouldn’t fight with their weaknesses against the enemy’s strengths.

Typically, night sentries would be arranged when camping in the wilderness. However, since Luo’er had cooked lunch, Yalunte willingly took on the responsibility of night watch. Having tried and failed to dissuade him, Luo’er conceded. After all, with Yalunte, recognized throughout the continent as the number one Swordsman, standing guard through the night, they could rest assured. Plus, he was loyal to the headquarters and relied on it, so his loyalty was trustworthy.

Everyone fell into a deep sleep, dreamless through the night. Dawn broke with the shrill sounds of explosions and gunfire in the distance drawing their attention. As everyone crawled out of their sleeping bags, Luo’er noticed Yalunte was no longer in sight.

He looked around and saw that Yalunte’s horse and luggage were still there. The man must have heard the commotion and rushed off to engage in the fray.

Realizing this, Luo’er shook off his sleepiness, calling everyone to get up, pack their gear, and be ready to support Yalunte. With the intense gunfire in the distance, the man could hardly survive on his own. Even though he was the continent’s top Swordsman, he won’t get far against a barrage of bullets.

After packing up, Luo’er and his team hid their horses and luggage, traveling light to ensure enough stamina for the upcoming battle.

Gunfire rocked the distant area, signifying that these special agents must have planned an ambush on the Judgement Legion. The occasional explosion sounded, leading Luo’er and Cheng Ziang to conclude that it must be heavy artillery. Using such powerful weaponry, it seemed that the agents were up against a formidable foe.

"Disperse, stay alert!" As they neared the battlefield, Luo’er raised his hand in a gesture, instructing the team members to scatter and widen their formation.

This was still an Earth tactical formation, aimed at demonstrating firepower supremacy. Cheng Ziang offered no objections, however, as they were currently confronting an elite Earth special operations team. Attempting a hard battle against these folks, using cold weapons, would clearly be suicide.

"Unit five, move right and find a higher point. Unit four, set up a machine gun post on the left. Unit one, roam on the right flank for support. Unit three," Luo’er then turned to Cheng Ziang.

At that moment, Cheng Ziang was not armed with a revolver or a knife, but rather a spare 7.62 caliber AK74U short assault rifle. As Luo’er turned towards him, he raised the rifle in acknowledgement.

"Unit three, roam on the left flank, ready to support units one and five," Luo’er commanded.

With this command, the team was spread out in a single line, each individual acting as a separate fire point. Luo’er had no choice; they were only five men. Without spreading out, they had no fighting power and would soon be exterminated by the enemy.

"Everyone, hold off from shooting before I do. Unless absolutely necessary, do not fire!" exhorted Luo’er.

Yalunte’s whereabouts were still a mystery, but Luo’er had no time to find him - the situation at hand was the urgent matter. If these agents had secured Arya’s Blade, Luo’er and his team could swoop in and seize it from them.

After spreading out, they cautiously crept forward. Suddenly, a desolate battlefield appeared before their eyes.

In the bush along the remote path, around a dozen special agents in ghillie suits were constantly attacking those on the road. They moved and shot, confusing the soldiers on the road, who spun in circles, clueless of where to advance.

A few heavily armored cavalry held up their heavy Rune shields, trying to break through the line of fire and advance along the road. Just as they got a short distance, a ground-shaking explosion echoed. The ground exploded, hurling debris several meters high and throwing the heavily armed knights into the sky before they crashed down heavily.
