Chapter 402: Siege
“Oh, it’s too late. I have never missed the daily morning patrol.”
Katrina lifted the quilt and looked at the clock on the wall. , a little panic flashed across her pretty face.
She glanced at Ji Xun underneath her again, and asked with a smile: "Would you like to rest for a while? I have to go out."
This Lion-hearted lady is probably used to it. Despite being in a high position, most of them took the initiative last night.
The gesture is ambiguous and intimate.
Ji Xun did not think anything of it, but was happy to enjoy this happy time of lying down.
He didn't have the habit of sleeping in, so he sat up, holding Catalina's elastic buttocks with one hand, and said: "No. I'm almost ready to get up."
Katrina also felt that this intimate posture was very comfortable. She sensed something and joked: "You are in good spirits~ It seems that the effect of the secret medicinal wine is really good."
Ji Xun smiled.
His palms caressed the soft skin, from the buttocks up, supporting the smooth waist, and then to the smooth and beautiful back. He unconsciously played with the pair of little jade lions again, and couldn't help but praise: "Miss Carter It’s also great.”
I have to say that this Lionheart lady is a perfect pleasure companion, both in terms of emotional value and figure.
The feeling is always mutual.
For Catalina, the feeling Ji Xun gave her was equally wonderful.
After happiness, certain thoughts can be expressed directly.
This intimate gesture stirred up the warm atmosphere that had just subsided.
Of course Catalina understood immediately. There was a hint of fascination in her eyebrows, and she said regretfully: "Ah, but we can't delay any longer. I have to get up."
After saying that, she stood up and said: "I have a lot of work to deal with during the day, so I may be busy. I'll come back to you later. You can rest at the base for a few days. I told you to treat you well~ "
Of course Ji Xun was not greedy for pleasure, he nodded and said: "Yes."
Katrina stood up and pulled the rattle on the bedside.
The next second, the door opened from the outside.
The four maids I had seen before walked into the room cautiously.
They are all maids trained by the Lionheart family since childhood, and they have long been accustomed to the wake-up routine of serving their own ladies.
Katerina went to the bathroom naked, and the two maids followed her as usual.
Two maids came to the bed. Although they had already been trained by the grandmothers in the family, they also knew that when their young ladies got married in the future, they would serve the male master.
But after all, this was my first time, so I was a little embarrassed.
He lowered his head, his cheeks were slightly red, and he did not dare to look directly at Ji Xun on the bed.
After sorting out the clothes scattered around, watching Ji Xun getting up, the two of them walked up on their own initiative, handed over the pajamas they had prepared long ago, and reached out to help him put them on: "Mr. Ji Xun, My servant will help you.”
Ji Xun didn’t feel there was anything awkward about being naked, but he was just not used to being served.
He took the clothes and put them on himself, saying: "No, I can do it myself. Thank you."
Of course he also knew that Catalina deliberately did not avoid letting the maid serve.
What happened at the banquet last night will add fuel to the fire, and these maids will also spread the truth about the situation.
In this way, Catalina has expressed her attitude directly, and there will be less trivial matters regarding marriage in the future.
Also, General Lagon, if the marriage fails, he will most likely make preparations in advance.
Ji Xun is also happy to see this.
Caterina went out on her morning rounds.
The maid brings food to the room, so there is no need to go out by yourself.
Ji Xun stayed in the suite and had no intention of going to the Machine City to make himself uncomfortable.
He has no interest in that kind of intrigue in interpersonal relationships, and he also guessed that the news of staying overnight at Catalina last night would definitely cause a huge reaction in the Alliance Army.
Some people will come to win over people close to him, the Allied Commander, and there will also be love rivals like Young Master Mick who will come to cause trouble.
Instead of going out and wasting your precious time, study right in the house.
After breakfast, Ji Xun started his daily practice and study as usual.
Probably because of the dragon root wine, I am still energetic after a night of hard work.
Various classics are placed on the desk. While he is clearly enlightened, he has the ability to "multi-task" and read and study those classics efficiently.
Time flies by unconsciously.
As she said, Catalina was busy until the evening before she found time to have dinner with Ji Xun.
But fortunately it is after ten o'clock, which is the time for the two of them to be alone.
No one bothers.
The relationship between the two has not changed much because of happiness. They are still like close allies, chatting about the war situation and life.
It’s just that after getting intimate, we can get along more unscrupulously.
That feeling of relaxation and joy is itself more valuable to them than joy.
And no one guarantees that they will be alive to meet again next time.
Both of them cherished and enjoyed this rare experience.
Although Catalina is busy with affairs every day as the commander of the Allied Forces, she also practices very hard.
She knows very well that without the support of absolute strength, she will never be able to maintain a high position in the world of card masters.
Just like the ambitious General Lagon who had just entered the seventh level.
Ji Xun is a large level higher than Catalina, and his cognition in the field of extraordinary knowledge is much better than the average sixth level.
When two people get along, in addition to having fun, they also practice together.
Many complement each other.
I have to mention one more thing.
Facts have proved that the medicinal effect of dragon root wine does not last for a day or two, but lasts for a long time.
It even has the effect of permanently increasing certain abilities.
Time flies by unconsciously, and it’s been five days in a flash.
This day.
Early morning.
Ji Xun and Catalina both have the habit of getting up early.
In the cloakroom, Ji Xun changed into travel clothes.
After staying in Machinery City for a few days, he is leaving today.
There was no maid around, so Catalina personally helped arrange his clothes.
While sorting it out carefully, she said with a smile: "Are you leaving today? How about staying a few more days?"
The tone was light and there was no sadness about separation.
Inviting him to stay is more of a sincere greeting between friends.
Katrina did not change her clothes, she was still wearing the white shirt she wore for sleeping.
Loose clothes cannot completely hide that graceful figure. In the mirror, the slender legs exude a fairer luster than the shirt under the light.
The shirt is completely empty, and the alluring spring scenery is faintly visible.
Ji Xun conveniently hugged Catalina, who was arranging his collar in front of him, reached under the shirt, took a large piece of delicate soft meat, and said: "It's almost time. There is news from the Dragon Rebel Army that the Southern Continent I also discovered the lost imperial capital, Behemoth. I plan to sneak over there to check the situation."
As he said that, looking at each other, he added another sentence: "Once the news of the lost imperial capital comes out. , a large number of hunter teams are needed immediately. This is a big opportunity.”
Some things can only be said face to face.
The main reason why he came in person this time was to discuss this plan.
Katrina also enjoyed this intimate behavior and nodded seriously: "Yes. I will be ready."
As she said that, she thought of something again and said: "As you expected, General Lagon has indeed taken action in the past few days. They found excuses to loan out some experts in the base. So, you have to leave today, No one from the base will escort you out.”
After all, it’s a matter of life and death, and she spoke of this topic in a serious tone.
As Ji Xun expected, General Lagon's group was really murderous.
These small actions are enough to prove it.
Not only was it aimed at him, an outsider, but it was also a subtle threat to Catalina, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.
Hearing this, Ji Xun only had a disinterested smile on his face and said, "Yeah. A small problem."
Originally, this was what he planned.
In the past few days, he has received a lot of accurate information from Catalina. With this information as a basis for deduction, it can be said that the conspiracy hidden in the dark and the upcoming interception are in front of his eyes. There are no "accidents" at all.
“.”
Katerina looked at his indifferent expression and wanted to say something, but after a moment of hesitation, she swallowed it in her mouth.
She was not worried about Ji Xun's ability.
In the past few days, when we got together closely and talked about things, she had already experienced the horror of "I am the world".
This is the exclusive magical secret of the leader of the "Thirteen Kamen Riders" who was once recognized as unsolvable by countless masters in the Eastern Wasteland.
Facts have proved that before Ji Xun knew what happened, she had already deduced the situation that she could only deduce today after using a large number of intelligence lines to obtain information.
With that kind of magical deduction ability, as long as she doesn't seek death, Catalina can hardly imagine that Ji Xun will be in danger.
However, that's what she was worried about.
It is because I am very familiar with Ji Xun.
She knew very well that this guy often had some crazy ideas.
Just like Xia Mucheng's adventure in the past when he encountered a strange time regression, he had obviously found the solution, but he still arrogantly chose to start over.
For this reason, I was stabbed in the chest and almost died.
Catalina raised her eyebrows. She didn't know why some past events kept popping up in her mind these past few days.
The gambling fight in Hong Lou, the adventure in Xia Mucheng, and the banquet in Lion City left a deep impression every time.
I want to laugh and find it interesting.
She didn't want to interfere with Ji Xun's decision. She hesitated for a moment and only said softly: "Yeah. Be careful then."
"Yeah."
When Ji Xun heard this, he looked at himself in the mirror and smiled, showing his neat white teeth.
The sense of crisis has always been the colorful color of life for him.
Not long after, the two walked out of the Machinery City.
"I won't see you off. Next time I come, remember it's your turn to treat me to a drink."
"Okay."
Catalina stood at the door of the Mechanical City. As the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, she could not send him too far.
Ji Xun didn’t care either.
After the two waved goodbye, Ji Xun turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at the back of her old friend leaving, Catalina sighed slightly and turned back to the Mechanical City.
Now the entire alliance army knows about his relationship with Ji Xun, and too many people are paying attention to this farewell.
Catalina bid farewell to Ji Xun and patrolled the Machinery City as usual.
As she was walking, someone suddenly spoke in her shadow: "Miss, according to your estimated location, it will take us at least twenty minutes to get there at full speed. If something unexpected happens... it may be It’s too late. Shadow Guards really don’t want to follow?”
Twenty minutes is enough for a seventh-level person to kill many times.
Katrina said calmly: "No need. If you follow up and are discovered by the other side, the plan will fail."
Shadow said again: "But just in case."
As the shadow guard who personally protects Katarina, she knows many secrets that outsiders don't know.
“There is no such thing as a contingency.”
Katrina shook her head, as if she was saying this to herself.
Whether it is as a friend or as the commander of the Allied Forces, she will never let the conspiracy of General Lagun and others succeed.
Katerina knew that Ji Xun's plan was absolutely safe, and added: "He has discovered you a long time ago. What's more, you think he really doesn't know that I will arrange for someone to go there? It's a choice. That place doesn’t want to be disturbed, and it also creates a ‘good opportunity’ for those conspirators.”
When Shadow heard this, he was surprised and said: "Have I been discovered?"
"Yes."
Katerina didn't know what she thought of, and smiled inexplicably: "Although he didn't say it, but You must know. "The Lionheart family was once the number one warlord in the federation, and could be on an equal footing with the five major congressmen. How could it be possible that he didn't have his own background?
Their family has always cultivated its own secret guard force.
After Catalina took power, she paid more attention to this point.
What others don’t know is that the newly promoted seventh-level soldiers in the Alliance Army are not just those on the surface like Lagon. There are two other secret guards under Katarina’s command who have never shown their faces. .
You must know that the advanced materials traded by the Dragon Rebel Army were handled by her alone. How could she not leave some backup?
Those materials that are highly compatible with the Dark Guard will be traded first.
So even if Lagon really wants to seize power by force, Catalina is actually strong enough to deal with it.
I just haven't found a suitable reason yet.
The complicated family alliance is not so easy to move.
Those old guys who are playing tricks, if you don’t give them a chance to show their fox tail, they won’t give anyone a chance to beat them.
Katerina thought of this, and a stern look appeared in her crystal eyes: "Act according to the original plan. When you find out the actions of the people over there, rush over there as soon as possible. Inform the special service team over there, once Lagon fights Die, liquidate immediately!”
Shadow Guard: “Yes!”
However, the moment Ji Xun left the base, several people in a hidden stronghold who had been waiting for a long time also received the news.
"There is news from over there that people have left the base."
"How many people?"
"One."
"One ? OK? ”
"Yes. Sure. We have transferred the experts in the base in the past few days, and the other permanent ones will not leave. And the informant has confirmed that Catalina listened to the kid and did not arrange for anyone to escort her."< br>
"Haha, it's just like what the intelligence said. He is extremely conceited and likes to risk his own life. No wonder he dared to attack and kill the Governor of Innocence City at the first level. He probably felt that he was somewhat capable and didn't need an escort. . Where is the route? "
"He should be going in the direction of the 'Fluorescent Forest'. Scouts were sent to map this route before. It is very remote and has a huge plain, which is very suitable for interception. The first point is the complicated underground river area. If we really try to do it there, I'm afraid there will be an accident."
"Let's go!"
"."
These people were none other than General Lagon and several of his confidants.
After all, they are senior military officials, and they also suspected that there was something wrong with this operation.
However, after analyzing and analyzing the current intelligence, they have not found any problem.
No matter how you deduce it, everything always feels "normal".
Whether it is analyzing the target's behavior and personality or analyzing environmental factors, it seems that the other party will definitely make the current choice.
It is because it is too normal that it makes life confusing.
There are only two possibilities in this situation. either Just didn't realize the danger.
Intuition General Lagon himself cannot be careless.
But his strength told him, what else could happen?
Strong people have an inexplicable pride in their own strength.
Lagon felt that his seventh-level strength was enough to solve all accidents.
Just in case, he decided to take action himself.
What's more, Ji Xun gave the other party an opportunity that he couldn't think twice about.
Once he leaves the "Fluorescent Forest", there will no longer be such a good opportunity to intercept him.
Thinking of this, Lagon and the others did not hesitate at all.
No one can stay!
So, they immediately chased after him.
Ji Xun sneaked in the darkness all the way.
The area where the Alliance Army headquarters is located is a no man's land.
Not to mention people, even Warcraft and monsters are rare.
The road Ji Xun chose was another remote path to the north. Along the way, except for the sound of breathing and breaking wind, the surroundings were eerily quiet.
But choosing this path is safer because there are fewer monsters.
Not long after, Ji Xun saw some luminous plants appearing on the roadside around him.
Soon when he came out of a cave, his vision suddenly became clear.
An endless fluorescent forest appears in view.
This is very common in the cave world, but this is the first time Ji Xun has seen such a large-scale forest.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Ji Xun looked at the forest in front of him and felt refreshed physically and mentally by the beautiful scenery.
The extraordinary world also has some unique natural landscapes that have never been seen before.
But looking at this large plain, there was a dangerous look in his eyes: "It's a good burial place"
Whether he died here or the enemy died here , all pretty good.
In the vast plains, once targeted by the enemy, it is difficult to escape.
But the same is true for Ji Xun.
In other complex terrain, if the enemy escapes, it will be a big trouble to survive.
This is the place he chose for his enemies.
With a flash of thought, Ji Xun ran into the forest.
Because it was an unfamiliar environment, he showed due vigilance and did not walk very fast.
As I walked along, I deliberately cleaned up the traces I left behind.
There are only some small monsters in the forest that pose little threat, and their instincts for crisis are much stronger than humans. He probably sensed that humans walking alone in the forest were not easy to deal with, and there were no evil beasts without eyes coming out.
Ji Xundao also had a stable journey.
However, not long after, the sound of rushing wind suddenly came from the forest.
Ji Xun was not surprised at all. He only raised his eyebrows and murmured: "Is there a magic mark on the clothes? Tsk, tsk, is there someone who has been bribed around Catalina?"
Yes. Not many people mark their clothes.
During this operation, Catalina was able to clean up the miscellaneous people around her.
Ji Xun didn’t think too much and looked back towards the direction of the wind.
If you can hear the wind, it means that the other party is very close.
Almost in the blink of an eye, five figures were approaching quickly, forming an encirclement and surrounding the forest.
If he were to come to the seventh level four or five at a time like he did in Ji Xun City before, Ji Xun would of course turn around and run away.
However, the Alliance Army does not have such a luxurious pursuit lineup.
I sensed the energy and it seemed familiar.
One level seven, two level six, and two level five.
As for his identity, before Ji Xun could think about it, the other party had already shown his face.
The guy in the lead is General Lagon whom I met before.
Two sixth levels.
They are the Colonel of the Red Lion Legion and Barrett, the "Hercules" of the [Black Knight] sequence.
The other one is the rank of major general, "Ruthless Iron Hand" Varys, the sixth-level professional branch of [Six of Spades - Punishment Iron Guard].
These two were once famous military experts in the Federation.
Ji Xun has seen it in the newspaper more than once.
There are two other level 5s, one is the familiar love rival, Mr. Mick.
There is also a perception card master who seems to be tracking himself.
Although I don’t know him, there is no threat at this level.
When he was discussing tactics with Catalina before, he had seen the detailed information of almost all the masters in the Lagon camp, and of course these people were among them.
There were no strange ability users, and Ji Xun had no trouble at all when he saw them.
The five generals of Lagon caught up and saw that Ji Xun did not run away or show any panic, and were slightly surprised.
Originally, they wanted to kill him immediately and achieve a quick victory.
Kekan and Ji Xun's indifferent eyes made all five of them hesitate.
We will meet here, and both parties know it.
But Ji Xun seemed to ask without knowing: "General Lagon, what do you mean?"
The more senior card masters are, the more uncomfortable they feel about this weird atmosphere.
Lagon looked at Ji Xun with solemn eyes. At the same time, he glanced around with his peripheral vision from time to time, as if he wanted to see if there were any traps.
The other two sixth-level players also showed the caution they should have.
In their imagination, the target must have something to rely on for being able to face the impending death situation so calmly.
Ji Xun looked at the nervous looks of several people, laughed sarcastically, and complained about "boring".
Lay a trap in advance?
That's not necessary.
He just needs to know how to choose his own route, and there will be no traps laid by the enemy.
Turning his face, he looked at the angry Young Master Mick again and said: "Hey, Young Master Mick, I refused your duel last time, do you want to make up for it? "
Upon hearing this, Mick on the opposite side felt that he had guessed what the other party was thinking, and sneered: "You want to delay time and wait for someone to rescue you? "
Lagon and others had the same idea after they didn't notice there was an ambush.
But for these battlefield veterans, they will not be stupid enough to give the enemy such a chance to delay.
After waiting for a while, Chun Chun was curious about where the guy in front of him got his confidence.
Ji Xun shook his head, completely different from Mick's anger opposite him. He said extremely calmly: "No, no, no. You have misunderstood that I just enjoy this process."
Some things , you can’t just hit it hard, you have to enjoy the gradual process slowly.
Only in this way can the pleasant experience be maximized.
As he spoke, Ji Xun suddenly became interested and asked again: "Major General Mick, since your Excellency is here, are you interested in having a fight with me?"
Mick listened. With this humiliation, although he suspected that the other party was stalling for time, it was impossible for him to refuse.
Knowing that Ji Xun had stayed in Catalina's room for five whole days, he had already been filled with jealousy.
To intercept this person now, of course I want to kill him first and then quickly.
He agreed: "Okay! I want to see what you are capable of!"
Lagon frowned and wanted to kill quickly, but he hesitated.
Thinking about delaying this for a while will not change anything.
However, what happened in the next second made him change his expression instantly, and he said anxiously: "Not good!"
No one here dared to imagine that the change happened so suddenly.
Ji Xun heard Mick agree, and the next moment, the harmless smile on his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly became filled with evil energy!
There was an explosion in the air, and the people in the distance had disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, Mick had already watched the man appear in front of him.
At this moment, murderous intent was overwhelming like a tide, and the feeling of death coming was as real as reality.
I'm dying!
The huge feeling of death terror that swept through his body shocked him on the spot and made him completely unable to move.
Mick then realized how ridiculous his pride was!
It turns out that if this guy doesn't agree to the duel request, it's really because the other party never takes him seriously!
