Sword Sorcery

Chapter 394 Situation

In the underground forest

A group of faceless men walked in the grass, making a rustling sound, which woke up the sleeping snakes, insects, rats and ants, causing them to scatter and flee, leaving thin lines between the bushes.

Following behind the Patriarch of Nice, Aaron was walking "injured", but an unknown thought was turning in his heart——

"My guess is correct!"

"Sure enough, the other party has set up a deadly trap at the entrance of the surface layer!"

Aaron guessed the opponent's arrangement in advance, so he left the team of coyotes and did not go to the entrance of the surface layer with them-that was an act of suicide!

At the same time, Aaron also guessed another key:
"The opponent does have a means of tracking the enemy in a large area. Fortunately, I mixed in with the Faceless Ones in advance."

"Otherwise, if I am found out by the other party, I will be finished!"

With Aaron's careful thinking, he guessed a situation in advance——

If they didn't go to the entrance of the surface layer, but chose to hide in other places, the entire underground area is so vast, how would the other party respond?

The underground creatures have been preparing for so long, they shouldn't have been negligent, they should have a special way to find the 'hiding person'!

Sure enough, the other party dispatched several gaseous wizards to catch the 'hiding' human wizards!

A group of wizards above the gaseous state guard the entrance, and another group of wizards above the gaseous state is responsible for arresting the 'hiding' enemies. It is really a two-sided lore, vowing to completely wipe out the mainstay of the east coast!
"It's dangerous."

When Aaron recalled it, he immediately felt a lingering fear: "Fortunately, I guessed the other party's arrangement, otherwise I would have fallen into their hands!"

Now, Aaron's strength is stuck before the threshold of the peak state, and he is not capable of dealing with gas wizards at all, and he is not even sure enough to escape. Once he is met by the gas wizard of the opponent, he will definitely end up in bad luck.

Fortunately, Aaron successfully escaped the search of the gaseous wizard by using the "Pride Mask" and the blind spot of the opponent's thinking, and mixed into the team of the Faceless Men.

I'm afraid the other party didn't expect that the enemy would mix into their own team.

clatter clatter
The footsteps of a group of people walking through the grass resounded in the silent forest, probably to relieve boredom, and the others began to communicate in whispers——

"Gory, have you heard? The giant-eared people near the Eclipse Castle couldn't bear the heavy tax and escaped. Guess what happened? Hehe."

"What! Unexpectedly, they also escaped. And from your tone, I seem to know their whereabouts?"

"Of course, I heard that they escaped to the surface layer-you don't need to tell me, you know it?"

"Hey, it seems that they were used as knives by the big shots. At the beginning, if the patriarch of Nice had not had foresight, I am afraid we would have become a 'knife' too?"

"Who says it's not? Fortunately, it's really fortunate."

Aaron was silent for a while listening to the words around him.

It seems that the big people in the mouth of the underground creatures refer to the group of underground lords. They deliberately promulgated the "heavy tax" regulations, forcing many civilians to flee from the local area and go to the upper surface layer.

In fact, this is their 'trap' for the wizards of the east coast -

Using the tone of the common people to deceive the wizards on the east coast, making them mistakenly think that the underground area is not safe, and at the same time think that the underground creatures have not noticed the invasion, and their vigilance has greatly dropped.

Then, the underground creatures used their own summoning wizard formations to kill a large number of wizards on the other side. Even if someone escaped by chance, they would not be able to escape their follow-up action—the hunting and killing operation in charge of the gaseous wizards!

One ring after another, really full of murderous intent, wanting to kill the opponent!

After all, the number of gaseous wizards is too small, and the elemental wizards who directly hunt and kill the opponent will have to be run away by the opponent before killing half of them.

Therefore, the underground creatures had to take advantage of the 'geographical advantage' to successfully eliminate most of their opponents, and the remaining fish that slipped through the net were handed over to the gaseous wizards to solve alone.

This plan is quite deeply concealed,
Ordinary civilians don't know the details at all. They are just pawns played by their lords, and they are made into bait to lure the enemy into the bait, thus completing a "small for big"!
A counterattack belonging to the underground creatures!

"Wizards Union really capsized in the gutter."

Aaron's expression was calm, only his eyes were a little cold. He looked at the active mountain range in front of him, but he couldn't feel any warmth in his heart——

"After this battle, the wizards on the east coast will definitely lose their vitality. Although the high-end power will not be damaged, the mainstay power in the middle will be greatly damaged, and the invasion will also be affected."

"Next, the wizards on the east coast will definitely change their strategy, and their behavior style will change from the original aggressive style to 'seeking stability'. It will never appear again, and the general aggressive behavior today."

Aaron pondered the attitude of the Wizarding Union: "Of course, they will not give up this underground area. After all, ancient resources are too rare to come by. At most, it is to slow down the pace of the invasion. Anyway, the high-end power is still there. At worst, they will push forward slowly. Fighting against opponents while waiting for the rise of a new batch of middle-level power."

"There are enough resources in the underground area. As long as some of them are plundered and stimulated by the war, the wizards will soon grow into new official wizards."

"It looks like this is going to be a 'long drawn out' war."

Aaron shook his head, thinking about this question for now,

Looking up, the faceless men who were talking around him made a judgment in his heart——

"With regard to the blockade of the surface entrance, it will certainly not last for too long."

"Because it won't be long before the top executives of the Wizarding Union will notice that something has happened. At that time, they will organize forces to open the entrance passage, and we will be able to return to the surface layer."

"One day at most!"

Aaron secretly made a decision——

"Just right, I'll be among the Faceless Ones for the time being, and when the time is up, I'll sneak out!"

With Aaron's strength and the characteristics of "Arrogant Mask", it is quite easy to sneak out. In this case, it is better to spend a day in the opponent's lair first, so as to avoid the search of the gaseous wizards.

then,

Aaron kept silent along the way. Others thought that his throat was hurt, and they would not come to talk to him. This was exactly in line with Aaron's plan—to avoid talking with others, so as not to accidentally expose his identity.

Moreover, Aaron also heard the other person's name and address from the conversation of other people, laying the foundation for the next action.

Soon, a huge building complex built on an active volcano gradually appeared in Aaron's eyes.

　Woo~, the author Jun is going to wear Okita Souji's women's cosplay costume from the 28th to the 30th of this month, and go to the CHINA JOY exhibition with my friends. At that time, I will save the manuscript in advance and release it regularly, although the author Jun is not the first It's time to wear women's clothing, but I'm still a little excited. After all, Souji Okita's skirt is so short, so let's not talk about this topic.

　　In addition, after the author finished going to CHINA JOY, he will probably concentrate on retreating code words. Next month, he will strive for explosive updates, and at the same time change the problem of long-winded writing style. On the premise of ensuring that there is no water, write more chapters to speed up the progress of the plot. .
