Chapter 254 Counterattack
Investigation tasks have the lowest completion rate among all tasks, and often require careful searches of local areas.
Compared to the cleanup mission, Malu's golden finger chessboard perspective may not be useful.
If someone chooses him, he is actually more inclined to continue taking on the cleanup tasks.
Unfortunately, the missions assigned by the Holy Knights are not available in all areas, and it also depends on whether other knights have already accepted the mission.
After Ouroboros and Cerberus finished the operation, Malu did not delay and immediately led the witches to the tarmac.
He now has a lot of holy silver coins on hand. He originally wanted to draw more before setting off... No, he was recruiting one or two witches. However, the witches who joined later were smaller than those of the Yusan family. , there is a clear gap in strength.
Ma Lu is not always so lucky. He can encounter hidden SSR cards like Ouroboros. Moreover, even with SSR, there are not many uses if the equipment cannot keep up.
With the church’s important mining sites in the Goradot Mountains being taken away, equipment is becoming increasingly scarce.
So Malu had no choice but to postpone the recruitment plan temporarily.
He found his horse on the tarmac, opened the hatch, and was about to get on the car, but the next moment he stepped out, his legs stopped in mid-air.
The Cerberus was caught off guard and bumped into him, and he couldn't help complaining.
“Hey, why are you standing still all of a sudden?!”
At this time, Malu looked at the uninvited guest in the passenger seat and raised his eyebrows, “Why are you here? Here?”
“Hello, Mr. Ximu, I’m waiting for your arrival here”
The person in the passenger seat said, and it turned out to be the monk who had dealt with Malu several times before and claimed to be the herald.
When he saw him, Ma Lu felt a bad feeling in his heart.
"Did Deputy Commander Li Wei ask you to come? Why didn't he send me an email directly if he had something to do?"
"Because we are in a war." The herald officer Su Rong said.
“Our enemies have challenged us. They are not only outside the city, but also inside the city, and may even be right next to us. Lord Li Wei has to act cautiously. Compared with the cold technology He still prefers to believe in people.”
"Really? Why didn't I feel this?" Malu said lightly.
“Are you still angry about the last investigation?” the herald said, “That was not Lord Li Wei’s idea, but the request of the trial court. In fact, it was because of Lord Li Wei’s Guaranteed, you can be released so quickly and...
"This is not all bad. You have been very honest during the investigation and have fully won the trust of Mr. Levi. Because of this. , I will only appear here now. "
He paused and then said, "Master Ximu, Deputy Commander Li Wei asked me to inform you that you and your team have been temporarily recruited to participate in a special mission. "
Ma Lu was startled when he heard this, "But I have already received this week's mission. ”
"It doesn't matter. The authority of special tasks is higher than that of ordinary tasks. I can freeze your current task for you first. When you come back from the special task, you can continue or give up the task without any penalty."< br>
"What is the goal of the special mission?"
"I don't know." The herald shook his head, "I'm just here to convey the order. Deputy Commander Li Wei asked you to do so immediately after receiving the order. Go to the northern forest."
He emphasized the word "immediately" and handed over a map. "Please land at the marked point above." Then he stepped off the aircraft. However, he didn't go too far. He stood aside and watched as Malu, Cerberus and others got on their horses.
Malu knew that this was also a form of surveillance to prevent them from contacting other people halfway.
He didn't delay and drove straight to the northern forest. Halfway through, I glanced at Ouroboros.
Although the herald refused to reveal the details of this special mission, Malu was not a fool. Just because Li Wei kept it secret to this extent was probably related to the Witches Alliance.
Ma Lu did not want to get involved in the war between the two sides in principle, but unfortunately this time he had no choice but to do so.
Li Wei obviously did not leave him a chance to refuse.
Malu now regrets holding a trade fair in the reception room of the Weapons and Equipment Department before. It is estimated that Li Wei found him leaving the apartment at that time, and then assigned him a special task.
However, when he arrived at the location on the map, Malu found that he had only guessed half of it right, because he was not the only knight who accepted the special mission, but a total of twenty-five people.
You must know that the entire Holy Knight Order has less than 200 knights in total. This special operation is equivalent to mobilizing almost one-seventh of the entire Knight Order's strength, and more than a hundred witches were dispatched.
And Li Wei himself came and led the team himself, which shows that he attaches great importance to this mission.
Ma Lu didn’t realize until then how deep the water in this mission was.
Although Ouroboros had told him before on the war horse that she would fulfill the duties of a witch in this operation and would not put Malu, Cerberus and others in danger.
However, seeing Li Wei's posture, Ma Lu was also murmuring in his heart.
If this mission really causes serious damage to the Witch Alliance, Ouroboros doesn't know if it can still sit still.
But so far, the latter's disguise has been pretty good, at least it doesn't show anything strange on the surface.
Standing aside like other witches, quietly waiting for the next order.
Malu should have arrived second to last. When the last knight's horse also fell, Li Wei called everyone together and finally revealed the goal of this special operation.
“You should have heard about what happened in the mines south of the Goradot Mountains before. Those fallen witches attacked our resource points outside the city, killing our robes, and Civilians who should be protected by the Knights."
His eyes swept over everyone present, "Now, it is our turn to take revenge. After secret investigation, I have located the lair of those fallen witches. There are many fallen witches, as well as their leader Shrike.
"Our mission this time is to catch them all. You are all chosen by me, and you are among the elite of the Knights. At the same time, your loyalty to the Knights has been tested, which is why I assigned you to complete the task.
“Let’s go, let’s end this farce and tell those guys who is the master of this land.”
Levi spoke concisely and concisely. After speaking, he activated his black armor and walked towards the woods.
The other knights followed him one after another. With so many people acting together, the activated plants encountered along the way were eliminated as soon as they appeared.
They encountered few obstacles and traveled very fast. They arrived at the target location in about an hour and a half.
