Chapter 358 Lisas

"Sir, the Lisas Royal City is ahead."

"Hmm............"

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the towering city wall in front of him.

"It seems that this place is really heavily guarded."

"That's right..."

As she spoke, Kanami Jiandang looked at Duanmu Huai with a complicated look. To be honest, she was still shocked when she first heard that she and Duanmu Huai were going on the road together. This is not because she was worried that Duanmu Huai would attack her, after all, Kanami Jiandang had already realized this. On the contrary, Kanami Jiandang was worried that they would be discovered by the Herman soldiers patrolling along the way or those brainwashed Lisas soldiers, which would be difficult to deal with.

After all, Duanmu Huai was extremely tall. Although there were people of similar size in this fantasy world of swords and magic, a body like this was still very conspicuous. Once discovered, it would be easy to be hunted down. As a ninja, Kanami Jiandang was naturally proficient in hiding, but for Duanmu Huai... she really had no confidence.

However, along the way, Duanmu Huai's actions surprised Jian Dang Kanami. The reason is...

"Ah, there is a group of patrol soldiers coming over there."

"Avoid them!"

Hearing Jian Dang Kanami's words, Duanmu Huai nodded, and then Jian Dang Kanami saw him standing in the shadow of a small tree that was less than one meter thick. Then, a patrol team composed of Herman soldiers and Lisas soldiers came not far away. They looked to both sides as they walked, and then walked directly past Duanmu Huai as if they didn't see anything. Obviously, Duanmu Huai still had more than half of his body outside the shadow, but the patrol soldiers seemed to be blind and didn't seem to notice his existence at all!

"Okay."

After the patrol soldiers walked away, Duanmu Huai came out again to move his body, and Jian Dang Kanami looked at the direction where the patrol soldiers left with a complicated expression, with an incredible face.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I don't understand how this is done..."

It's no wonder that Kanami Jiandang had such doubts. At first, when she saw Duanmu Huai squatting casually, she was also shocked. After all, according to common sense, with Duanmu Huai's size, it is impossible not to be discovered unless he hides in dense trees.

The result is that Duanmu Huai is right in front of them, but the patrol soldiers ignore him like blind people. At that time, Kanami Jiandang thought that this was some kind of delaying tactic of the other party, such as they clearly found Duanmu Huai, but felt that they could not beat him, so they would call for reinforcements and wait for night to attack or something.

As a result, it was like this several times back and forth, which made Kanami Jiandang even more confused. Until she finally asked Duanmu Huai a question and experienced it herself, she found that Duanmu Huai's hiding was really outrageous. Obviously, she only moved her eyes away for a second, and she couldn't find him when she turned her head again. And there was only a grassland and scattered bushes around, and there was no place to hide at all.

At that time, Kanami Jiantang almost dug the place three feet deep, and finally Duanmu Huai took the initiative to show up. She found that the other party had been hiding in the bushes that were less than half a meter high not far from her!

How did he do this?

As a ninja who makes hiding a living, Kanami Jiantang was puzzled. The bushes were less than half a meter high, and Duanmu Huai was taller than it when he lay down!

How could he hide in it quietly?

Duanmu Huai could only say that you don’t understand the skills of the Dark Raven Guard...

Maybe he can teach her in the future.

Of course, this trick was useless when he arrived at the city gate. After all, there was tension everywhere. The defense was strict. Duanmu Huai had to hold a container, otherwise he would not be able to enter through the city gate. But this did not bother him. Although the wall of the Lisas King City was dozens of meters high, it was just a sprinkle of water for Duanmu Huai. He climbed up the high wall almost easily, and then jumped down from the other side and mixed into the Lisas King City.

"Okay, we're in... Well, there's no sign of war here."

"Yeah... ..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Kanami Jiantang seemed a little depressed. Along the way, they passed more than one city, but the scene they saw was not optimistic. In the Free City Alliance, perhaps because it was occupied not long ago, there were still traces of war. But after arriving in Lisas, although most cities were damaged, at least on the surface, they had almost returned to their former peaceful life. Except for a little more soldiers, it seemed that there was no change from before the war.

This was obviously not a good thing for Kanami Jiantang. Although the residents were not harmed by the Hermann soldiers, which was a relief for her, it also meant that the people of Lisas were likely to gradually adapt to this kind of life and even refuse to be involved in the war again.

After all, if the Hermann army committed crimes here, killing and setting fires, then even if the people would succumb because of fear, they would also develop a resistance to the Hermann army. But if the other party does not pose a threat to him, coupled with Princess Leia’s previous declaration—if this continues, it is very likely that Lisas will really be annexed by Hermann!

After all, the rebels are now Lisas, and their relatives also live in these cities. If their relatives are injured or killed by the Herman army, they will definitely take revenge on the same enemy. But if their relatives were not harmed, it would be much more difficult for the Lisas resistance to fight again.

Not to mention Princess Leia made that kind of declaration...

"I'm going to inquire about the situation nearby, please wait a moment."

After saying this, Kanami flashed and disappeared into the alley, while Duanmuhuai found a place to sit down and looked around in boredom.

Hmm... I can indeed feel the devil's breath.

Duanmuhuai could feel that although it was very thin, there was indeed something evil and dark like a demon in this city of King Lisas, and a dark aura emerged from it. This feeling was very similar to the twisted aura he felt in Altdorf, the capital of the empire, but it was a little thinner here - which meant that the demon here probably only appeared not long ago.

After a while, Duanmuhuai saw Kanami running back panting. She looked at the alley and looked around. Only then did Duanmu Huai stand up from the side. Seeing Duanmu Huai suddenly appear from the shadows, Kanami was also startled. She pulled out the knife reflexively, and then relaxed after discovering that it was Duanmu Huai. tone.

"Huh... Your Excellency, what you did is really scary."

"well enough."

Duanmu Huai didn't care at all.

"What's the catch?"

"Um……………"

After hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Kanami's face suddenly darkened.

"Everyone inside and outside the royal city is relatively relaxed now, but everyone is also very nervous. Although Hermann's soldiers do not arrest people as casually as before, no one knows what they are doing behind the scenes. And... …According to the intelligence, Princess Leia will marry Prince Barton in three months.”

"It's quite a long time. I thought Herman would be in a hurry to do something."

Duanmuhuai was somewhat surprised when he heard Kanami's answer, while Kanami nodded.

"I heard that there seems to be some problems in Herman's country. Not everyone supports Prince Barton."

"He has already reached the capitals of other countries, and there are still people who object?"

Duanmu Huai couldn't understand it at all. To be honest, no matter what method was used, being able to surprise a country's capital with a surprise attack and occupy most of the country in a short period of time was already a pretty awesome feat. Logically speaking, shouldn't Herman's country cooperate internally and externally at this time and take the opportunity to eat Lisas in one go?

What is there to object to?

"I heard that Herman was very unhappy about Prince Barton's collusion with the devil, because this time Prince Barton's actions were not informed to the king and others, and he also colluded with the devil. Once the matter spread... It will have an impact on Herman, and..."

After saying this, Kanami frowned.

"I'm not sure if my idea is correct, but when I was collecting information about Herman, I learned that Prince Barton was actually not favored in Herman's country. It seems that the king and the ministers are more inclined to Let another princess take over the throne."

"I see."

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai suddenly understood. At first glance, the operation of the Herman Kingdom seemed to be retarded, but if it was connected with the struggle for the throne, it would be easy to understand. Prince Barton killed first and then played with the demons to raid the capital of other countries. Even if it succeeded, it might not be a good thing for the Kingdom of Herman. After all, this means that the possibility of Prince Barton ascending to the throne has greatly increased, which is certainly not a happy sight for the princess faction.

They probably wished that Prince Barton would die in Lisas and never go back, so how could they possibly help him?

In other words, these three months are actually the longest time that the princess faction within Herman can delay. If Prince Barton is defeated or killed by Lisas within these three months, then they will naturally be happy. . If Prince Barton can hold on for these three months or even capture the entire Lisas in one fell swoop - what else can be done?

Just hold your nose and admit it.

"Where's the news about Princess Leia?"

"It's nothing special. It's just that occasionally she appears in front of the people and says a few words. At least on the surface, there's nothing unusual about her, and it should be her own person, not a substitute."

After saying this, Kanami also frowned.

"The inner city is very tight at present. Although the royal city was also heavily guarded before, it is completely different from now. Even I may not be able to sneak into it. Moreover, there are strict sentries inside, making it difficult to move."

"So the best way is to find a reason to go in and out of it openly... Is there any?"

"I do have an idea."

After hearing this, Kanami seemed to have thought of something and clapped her hands gently.

"There is an arena in the inner city. I heard that the princess will hold a competition there to select strong warriors as bodyguards..."

"So what you mean is that as long as I participate in the competitive competition and win the championship, I can see the princess openly... Well, this is not bad, but there is still a problem."

"Yes, the arena is in the inner city. To enter the arena, you must obtain a pass. It is not easy to obtain a pass. However, I have found out a piece of information. Recently, there have been a series of kidnapped and missing girls, including daughters of nobles. In fact, some adventurers have taken on commissions during this period, but in the end, the adventurers disappeared. At present, no one dares to take on these commissions. If you can take on the commission, you can negotiate with the nobles and maybe get a pass from them."

"Okay, I knew it would be this routine."

Hearing Kanami's words, Duanmu Huai curled his lips and turned around.

"Then let's go to the Adventurer's Guild first."
