"You did this on purpose! You're despicable."

"Hey, how can you say it was intentional? I had no obligation to warn you that someone was eavesdropping. In fact, I don't think I'm despicable at all. On the contrary, I think I'm very noble because I not only told you, but I also tried to send someone to help you solve the problem."

He emphasized the word "try" very much.

Ito couldn't see the expression behind his mask, but he could already imagine his smug smile.

Ito clenched his fist and then loosened it, then clenched it again.

"You guy..."

He said this through gritted teeth.

Then, it was as if it had deflated.

"Pass on my order: all units, assemble immediately according to the pre-arranged plan, and begin the attack!"

the other side

Wen Chen and An Xin ran wildly with the mysterious girl who had suddenly appeared, and only then did they temporarily shake off their pursuers.

Only then, in the deserted wilderness, did he have time to catch his breath.

He looked at the girl who had saved them.

"Thank you for saving me. May I ask who you are...?"

"I'm a ninja from the [Final Chapter] of the guild. You can call me Momoyo. I should thank you."

Bai Dai replied, panting heavily.

"Thank us?"

"They've been planning an attack recently, aiming to wipe out Coral Palace in one fell swoop. I've been trying to send this intelligence out, but they haven't trusted me enough and have been keeping a close eye on me. I only had this opportunity thanks to your actions today."

It's too late now. They'll most likely act tonight. We need to notify Coral Palace immediately.

They looked at each other.

"I'll go tell the boss that you and Bai Dai are going to the Coral Palace together. Be careful on the way."

"it is good."

Wen Chen quickly issued the order, and the three of them had no objections and immediately began to take action.

Now is not the time to be coy and make excuses.

Meanwhile, on the other side—

Near the accommodations where Beidou and his team were staying, a special team quietly approached.

"Is this the place?"

The leader took out a monocular telescope and looked towards Beidou's lodgings.

“That’s right, this is the weakest point in the outer perimeter defenses. There’s only one sentry post right there.”

The person behind him pointed it out to him.

"But he is very vigilant, and it only takes him a moment to pull the trigger."

"give it to me."

The leader reached out his hand, and the Water Elemental Eye at his waist glowed slightly.

He was sensing the presence of the water element and accumulating power.

When released, it is enough to instantly draw water out of the mortal body, causing it to "dehydrate" and turn into a dried-up human body.

This move is not very effective; it consumes a lot of energy and has many limitations. It won't work against people with even a little strength, so he doesn't usually use it.

This time, the plan is to sneak in quietly, which is why this tactic was chosen—to eliminate the opponent silently.

If nothing unexpected happened, then something unexpected did happen.

The sentry in the guard team was a veteran who had trained in martial arts for many years, and his "human power" was exceptionally strong.

To dare to be on duty alone, you have to be really skilled.

The moment the elemental forces acted on his body, the human realm energy within him began to resist the invasion of these external energies.

At that moment, the person who was controlling the water elemental power cried out in alarm.

Hit the iron plate!

The soldiers on guard duty were not dehydrated and turned into dried-out husks; they just felt extremely uncomfortable, but quickly recovered.

"who?!"

He quickly raised his gun and aimed in the direction he sensed.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, deafeningly loud in the silent night.

Chapter 79 Sir, times have changed

"What happened?"

The gunshots woke up Beidou, who was sleeping on high alert.

"boom!"

Another gunshot was heard.

This time, Beidou heard it very clearly.

It was the sound of a musket firing.

She hurriedly drew her greatsword and opened the door.

Not only her, but all the brothers living in the other rooms were also awakened by the noise.

With Beidou's instructions, they practically slept with their weapons in their arms.

At this moment, each of them carried a handy weapon, stepped out of their rooms, and gathered in the corridor.

The gunshots coming from afar began to become more frequent and chaotic.

"Boss, are we going to start fighting now?"

"Now?"

Beidou frowned deeply.

They were discussing this issue just a few hours ago, and it came true a few hours later.

What a coincidence!

And she even... um?

!

Beidou suddenly thought of Wenchen and Anxin, who had been sent out.

"Oh no, I sent those two kids out to gather information, and now they might..."

"what?"

The sailors around Beidou were all dumbfounded when they heard this.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's save them!"

"Yes, save people! Brothers, grab your weapons, follow me..."

"Captain Beidou!"

The sparrow that had been downstairs appeared at the corner.

She was no longer wearing her usual green military uniform. Over it, she wore a leather vest covered with tiny squares, inside which was a black iron block. She was also holding a strangely shaped weapon.

This is how Beidou sees it.

I must say, he still looks quite dashing.

"I understand your feelings, and we will do our best to find the two gentlemen. However, the situation outside is still unclear, so please wait for further information. If there is any action, please cooperate with our command."

"Whoo~"

Beidou took two deep breaths and calmed down.

After calming down and thinking it over, she realized that Sparrow was right.

They were waiting for news because the situation was unclear and the whereabouts of the personnel were unknown. Coordinating with the command was to prevent the Southern Cross from becoming a target for both sides in the melee, resulting in a mixed doubles attack, and also to reduce the difficulties faced by the Coral Palace.

"Everyone, gather downstairs and be ready to move at any time!"

Even so, she still felt anxious and frustrated whenever she thought about it.

Damn it, if she had known it would be such a coincidence, she shouldn't have let those two go!

Shifting our gaze to the other side, to the outer perimeter guard posts, let's turn back the clock a little.

Sakamoto felt utterly terrible at that moment.

He must have encountered an attack from the legendary elemental forces.

He felt lightheaded, his vision blurred, his head was spinning, and an intense thirst assaulted his senses.

The other party must be someone who possesses the Eye of God!

That's why, no matter how uncomfortable he is now, he dares not relax.

The weapon in his hand was now his only means of survival.

"boom!"
