Chapter 140 139. The Night Before the Storm
"Professor Yang." Sword holder Liu Zhifeng shook hands with Yang Minyi on behalf of the Southern District Alliance.
The two parties chatted for a few words, quickly finalized the handover details, and began to coordinate the departure of the convoy.
Ten minutes later, the armored vehicles opened their way south, and part of the armored troops escorted the shelter convoy to the South District. The main force of the South District army would stay in Wangchuan City for one day, and then continue north to liberate the entire North District.
Su Hong stared ahead. The shelter convoy that was ready to go filed out of the underground parking lot, left his sight, and headed towards the highway intersection.
After a while, Anna followed a group of knights and left the square, got on the truck and headed south.
Su Hong's mind moved, and a shadow flew out from under his feet and merged into Anna's shadow.
"Wei Qiang, Su Hong, camp where you are, we will stay here for one night." Sun Hang came over and directed.
Su Hong nodded and set up a tent with Wei Qiang.
On the other side, the Knights Temple's convoy had just entered the highway. People in the truck were chatting while carefully looking at the strange blood mist outside the truck.
Although the journey to the South District is relatively long, everyone’s faces are full of anticipation.
They are about to leave this dark land and head to the promised land of the sun.
After that, they no longer have to hide underground and can build a new civilization on the ground.
In the compartment of one of the ordinary trucks, Anna was holding the little mouse Shake in her hands, poking her head outside, curiously observing the world.
The Templar Knights were already on motorcycles scattered along various sections of the road to protect the convoy. Only she and Shake were left here, as well as some accumulated supplies.
"Shaq, when can we get to the promised land?"
"Zhizhi..."
"Can we arrive safely...that adult promised me."
"Of course."
Su Hong's voice suddenly appeared, startling Anna. She turned her head and looked back into the carriage. The mysterious knight had unknowingly sat opposite her.
Anna said in relief: "Good morning, sir."
"Um."
Su Hong nodded, and then fell into silence. He sat there like a solemn statue.
In fact, his consciousness has descended on the puppet in Yantang Village.
The giant bird lying in the abandoned building opened its eyes and looked outside. On the road to the village, there were more than a dozen Original Sin cultists patrolling. The sect seemed to be sending cultivators continuously.
"The convoy will pass by Yantang Village just before tomorrow night. Then it should be the best time for the religious group to take action."
After memorizing the deployment and position of the original sin cultists, Su Hong's consciousness left, and a shadow with consciousness once again departed from the body and merged into the body of the shadow knight who was about to dissipate.
Across the carriage, Anna lowered her head and played a game with Shake. It seemed that she could no longer hold back her curiosity. She asked in a low voice: "Sir, what would you do?"
Su Hong had just returned to consciousness and did not hear these words. He just reminded: "Tomorrow, the motorcade will pass by Yantang Village, so be careful."
"Now, let me test your swordsmanship."
When Anna heard this, she could only swallow the question back to her stomach and asked Su Hong for advice on swordsmanship.
With the sword master personally teaching swordsmanship, Anna's progress in swordsmanship became obvious, and many of her usual doubts were easily solved.
Since Su Hong also had to take care of the main body of Wangchuan City, he sometimes answered slowly, or simply didn't hear what Anna was asking, wasting a lot of time.
But even so, Anna still felt that she had benefited a lot and been inspired.
A few hours later, when the instruction was over, Su Hong stood up and said, "Swordsmanship is a combination of theory and practice. Theory alone is not enough. Hard training is also required."
"Practice hard and don't be lazy."
After saying that, he planned to leave.
Anna hurriedly asked, "Sir, can I call you teacher from now on?"
Su Hong turned around and said, "Whatever you want."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure completely disappeared from the carriage. "Teacher, see you tomorrow." Anna waved her hand.
It wasn't until Su Hong completely disappeared that she took out her wooden sword and gestured inside the carriage.
"Shaq, how about you be my opponent and help me practice my sword skills."
"Squeak!" the little mouse protested strongly and pawed at her pocket.
"Okay, stop scratching. It's a little itchy. I was joking just now."
Anna chuckled and grabbed it out.
"Zhizhizhi..."
"You mean I'm in a good mood?"
"Shaq, that's the Sword Master. The Sword Master personally taught me swordsmanship, and I will become very powerful in the future."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
"I'm not bragging, just wait."
The afternoon ended with a fight. Some of the knights returned to the carriage and had dinner. They also brought one to Anna.
Tonight's dinner is very simple, just some canned beans and canned pork, along with rice and water, which can be considered a complete meal.
The food was cold and the fat was condensed into lumps. Although it was not a good thing, there was nothing we could do about it.
There are too many people in the convoy. It is very difficult to keep so many people eating and drinking in the car. Even if they go to the ground to camp, it will waste a lot of time.
They had no choice but to rush to the Dawn gathering place in the South District as quickly as possible without stopping.
At night, a tired-looking Yang Minyi returned to the carriage with a sleeping bag under his arm.
"Little Anna, you can sleep in here tonight, and the knight on duty will be watching over you."
Anna took the sleeping bag, which was bigger than her, and tried her best to stick her head out, "Where are you, Professor? Aren't you going to rest?"
"No, the immortal will be fine even if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights. I have to watch the convoy until we get to the Southern District."
"By the way, has Mr. Scott said anything to you?" the man asked tentatively.
Although Yang Minyi did not know the specific plan of the original sin cultists, his keen sense of smell still made him aware of the approaching crisis.
If he was a spy in the Knights Temple, he would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to travel in a convoy.
Anna hesitated and then said: "The teacher asked me to be careful tomorrow, as something might happen."
Yang Minyi's heart trembled. Sure enough, his hunch was right.
But he soon discovered another detail. Anna seemed to have called the mysterious knight teacher just now.
He glanced at Anna and didn't find anything special about the girl in front of him.
But since he is the disciple of the Sword Master, he had better pay more attention to it.
"Little Anna, you go chat with the teachers tomorrow and spend some time with the elderly."
"OK."
Anna put down the sleeping bag and whispered: "Professor, be careful of the people in the temple."
Yang Minyi was stunned. It was obvious that Anna knew something. This girl seemed to be smarter than imagined. This could also explain why the sword master accepted her as a disciple.
So why didn't she just tell him the spy information.
The man fell into deep thought, and he had a terrifying suspicion in his heart.
I am afraid that the spy force in the temple is greater than he imagined.
