Chapter 1539: What A Cute Little Bat!
Mag brought Connie down the roof, and walked to the small courtyard under the cover of the night. They made small talk as they walked. “Do you have any special feelings after coming back to the Falk Tribe again?”
“It feels… a little strange.” Connie’s emotions seemed to be rather down.
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Those…” Mag quickly consoled her. She was originally the tribe’s little princess, and she became a downtrodden assassin in the blink of an eye. Her loved ones were either killed or imprisoned. She had to have felt terrible coming back to this place again.
“I felt the buildings and roads have changed a lot. I’m afraid I will get lost again,” Connie said gravely.
Mag choked on the words that he was about to say. He only managed to clear his throat after a while, and said, “I-it’s fine. Take things slowly.”
“Oh, yes. Do you all know where my brother is imprisoned? I want to go and save him tonight!” Connie asked Mag with concern.
“We have already been to a secret dungeon tonight. Your brother was held there before, but it’s a pity that he had already been transferred out when we arrived. Meanwhile, the other prisons were also attacked tonight. This should be Gary’s plot to eradicate the last batch of orcs who are loyal to the former chief. Hence, your brother is most probably in the palace right now,” Mag told her as they continued walking forward.
“The palace?” Connie halted and her eyes lit up. “That is the place which I am most familiar with, including all its secret passages and dungeons. I hid in them when I played hide-and-seek with my brother when I was young. I will go and rescue him right now.”
“He’s right there, so what’s the hurry?” Mag grabbed Connie, who was about to turn and leave. He said, “Gary is in the palace right now, and there could be another two or three 10th-tier powerhouses with him. Are you able to kill them all?”
“I-I am very professional.” Connie opened and then closed her mouth. She was obviously not very confident.
“Come here, we need to make a detailed plan.” Mag opened the yard’s side gate, and pulled Connie into the big room in the center.
In the room, everyone had changed into black camouflage clothes. Including Camilla who had returned from her failed investigation, everyone was present.
“Big Sister Connie, did you get lost on your way home too?” Amy asked Connie curiously.
“I-I was not lost. This is my home.” Connie quickly waved her hands.
“The situation is basically clear now. We couldn’t find Ferdinand in all the prisons and dungeons that we know of. Right now, there are more than 500 people trying to attack the prisons and rescue Ferdinand, causing the current chaos.” Mag took out a Falk Tribe’s map. The few prisons that were still involved in fighting were marked with a red pen. He used a pen to point out the palace in the center of the inner city, and said, “Now, this is our target. We have to sneak into the palace to search for the possible locations where Ferdinand could be imprisoned, and rescue him while making sure that we’re safe.”
Camilla slumped in a chair lazily as she asked Mag, “I just made one round at the periphery of the palace. There are at least three 10th-tier powerhouses in there, two of them are even magic casters. It’s not an easy feat to bypass the cordons that they set up and sneak into the palace to rescue a person. How are we going to achieve that?”
Everyone frowned with tension and uneasiness after hearing that.
Irina was the most powerful among them without a doubt.
Apart from her, it was Camilla who had a 9th-tier power, followed by Elizabeth and Gina who had an 8th-tier power.
Babla was a 7th-tier spatial magic caster, and Yabemiya’s combat power was roughly around 5th-tier, but they had never been in a real battle before.
Anna and Jane were negligible in the area of combat.
Amy, with her little fire lotus, could hold her own against a 7th-tier opponent for some time when she gave her all.
Even including Mag, who had hidden his power, they had no chance of winning at all.
It was very important to Gary to execute Ferdinand in front of everyone. It meant the end of an era, and also signified that the Falk Tribe had entered into his era formally.
He didn’t even trust the dungeon that he had just built today, so they could see the importance that he placed on Ferdinand.
“Perhaps one or even two of those 10th-tier powerhouses are already guarding next to Ferdinand right now,” Elizabeth said in a cold voice.
Everyone’s gaze landed on Mag. The huge difference in their power and the uncertainty of Ferdinand’s location had made this rescue mission extremely difficult.
“Earlier, we attempted and successfully lured a 10th-tier powerhouse out of the palace by creating a commotion in the inner city. If we want to get into the palace to rescue Ferdinand, we have to lure all the 10th-tier powerhouses out of the palace first to ensure the safety of our people who are responsible for sneaking in.” Mag looked at Irina.
“You can give this job to me. It’s not difficult for me to even demolish the entire inner city.” Irina nodded with a relaxed expression before continuing, “However, I cannot promise that all those fellows will be lured out of the palace.”
Mag looked at Babla. “Babla, I need you to set a single-use instantaneous teleportation portal between the interior of the palace and the canyon 10 kilometers away. Once we found and rescued Ferdinand or the mission failed, we would be able to evacuate safely and quickly.”
“Alright.” Babla stood up, and said to Yabemiya, “Miya, bring me out of the city, please.”
“Sure.” Yabemiya swiftly got up.
“Be careful. After you set up the spell formation beyond the city, come back to this small courtyard to rendezvous with us, and we will sneak into the palace together,” Mag reminded them.
Both of them acknowledged before Babla used a short distance teleportation spell to get Miya and herself out of the main kitchen.
Mag said to Camilla, “Camilla, I need you to locate the four 10th-tier powerhouses, conduct real-time surveillance on them, and report to me in real time. This concerns the safety of our frontline personnel.”
Camilla hesitated for a moment before she waved her hand. One small black bat flew out from her wide sleeve, and landed on Mag’s shoulder.
“What’s this?” Mag flicked a glance at the little bat on his shoulder with confusion. Compared to usual shifty-looking bats, this bat looked rounder and prettier.
“Wow, what a cute little bat.” Amy kneeled on stool and reached out to pat that little bat.
“Yes. It looks really cute.” Mag also couldn’t help reaching out to pinch that bat’s face. It was soft and very comfortable to pinch.
“D-don’t touch!”
Camilla, who was initially slumping in the chair lazily, instantly sat up and pressed her legs together. Her face also flushed red instantly.
