Chapter 148 A Disputed Area (3)

Ru A was fine, as long as they didn’t overexert the small, it could be an important clue

“Our enemies don’t knoe’re here And it must stay that way,” Ru Amuh warned, and the heroes scattered away Then, like a boo, they soon returned to the sao left Unlike where we are, it is full of evil and dark energy”

“We found traces in the front that went through the same place several ti routes”

“We also wandered toward the right and found a long burrow that appeared to be a trench There were also several places that looked like temporary bunkers, but we couldn’t check the interior for fear of getting caught”

The more they searched, the ht

“We have to get in and check the city out,” Nangnang said “That’s a hth recruits First we have to find out what’s going on inside the city” To do this, they needed to secure a way in The best hth recruits through their devices

Ru Aht Shahnaz’s statue just in case, but for thees to another person, they needed to add each other as friends In the current situation, they didn’t even knoho had come to Liber It seeo inside the city and check out the situation in person However, that left thearea quiet It was understandable since they were sandwiched between two giants ere superior to them both in numbers and power Furthermore, they couldn’t even enter froh the center It seemed like an impossible mission

“How about the sky?” It was then one person stepped up to the center; it was the hero who had spotted the city by scouting in the sky “I’m Eckt from the third recruits I think I can easily find out the situation inside the city” The hero nas on his back So in the air and running on land had enor and Ru A that you will go check the area by yourself, right?”

“Don’t even joke about that Even if I’reedy for merits, I won’t throayto look down at the city from the air, especially its central area I’lanced at Ru Aht

“Our eneh”

“Even if our enemies see me, they won’t know our exact situation And they will find out about us sooner or later anyway”

“Still”

“Did you think on’t get found out though? With these many members?”

“That’s not what I think, but it’s still dangerous You could be attacked in the air”

“At hed “Then I can just go higher” Then, Eckt said confidently that even if their enee, he could sih, will you be able to see…”

“Ha! Try to find sole eyes flashed But as Ru Ahtly

“What is it? Do you have any other alternatives?”

“…”

“What is it? Is our oh-so-great teaet sohed With the way Eckt was talking, he couldn’t say anything else; and it was true that there was no alternative

“Hold back your pointless provocations and wait a bit before setting out You won’t be as noticeable in the nighttiood eyesight?” Nangnang asked

“I was already planning to do that,” Eckt answered

“I also suggest you start and return at different points just in case”

“I know I know Don’t treat me like a kid I’m also a hero I have experienced worse situationsbothersohly The sun was already setting slowly, and dusk caht painted the entire area black

“Good Should I go to collect some merits now?” Eckt moved with ease Chi-Woo orried, but decided to believe in the hero After co back from the Academy, he realized that he was in no position to worry about anyone else Heroes were far ave the at ease was the privilege of the strong, Eckt’s confidence must have come from his experiences as a hero And soon, the hero flew far away into the night sky

Everyone looked up There wasn’t a single cloud in sight, and Eckt quickly streaked through the sky He flew past large landscapes that would have been difficult to cross over on land easily, and surprisingly, the enemies showed no response Thus, Eckt arrived at the center of the city safely and circled around while looking down

“Good, good… Just like that…?”Nangnang, as focusing on Eckt with his clairvoyance, suddenly frowned After flying straight, Eck suddenly changed trajectories and drew an S in the air, rising sharply heavenward A foreboding feeling ca was flashi+ng around Eckt

“He was discovered He got caught and is now getting attacked,” Nangnang quickly reported

Eckt didn’t get defeated easily though He zigzagged in an irregular route upward,the attacks move with him Soon, he quickly fleay from the city’s vicinity; but in consideration of the rescue team, he escaped to the opposite direction fro to fly as far away as possible and reunite with the rescue teahtly relieved seeing Eckt’s skillful retreat when he suddenly heard a series of explosions

Ba Booht sky like a carpet and teasped There was a spectacular crossfire, and before the sky darkened again, he saw the final result: the re closed his eyes

“…A cannon” They were able to gain one piece of information thanks to Eckt’s death “There’s…a canon”

Ru Amuh made the order to retreat back into the forest This new piece of inforerous for them to even stay in this area Once they reached the forest, the rescue team fell into silence No one spoke They had all witnessed ould happen should they enter fro on land would be impossible as well And now that they found out that their enemy had a cannon, it seemed obvious that they would be annihilated in an instant if they got hit by it

‘What should we do?’ Chi-Woo wondered to hi ended, and he had recovered soo The World’s Milestone would definitely pave a path for hiot the nuht possible However, Chi-Woo couldn’t make himself reach into his pocket

‘It’s true it can’t be helped, but…” The situation was so hopeless he needed to grasp for any straw, but they also couldn’t afford having anything go wrong The die was a double-edged sword He could roll as seven, or he could roll a one If things rong, theyable to initiate any plans

“…I think” Chi-Woo heard Ru Amuh’s voice break the silence “Some people should return to the capital”

They needed to inform the other heroes in the capital of the situation here Those in the capital would also make a decision

“Is there anyone here ould like to volunteer?”

Swoosh— Many people raised their hands like round Their attitude was completely different from when they first left the capital; this was how hopeless the heroes who participated in the rescue teaht of the situation here
