Chapter 444 Troubles
Annan waited for most of the day, and before dusk, the White Knight's men arrived one after another.
The number of people sent by the White Knights is actually not that many. They all know that what they are about to face next is the Witch of the Abyss, which has a home field advantage. Therefore, instead of using the crowd tactics, they should use the elite to break through.
Now including Maria, there are a total of fifteen elite white knights, which is much more than those who were tracking the Fire Witch before.
Then, there are twenty-seven experienced white knights, all of whom work in teams of three to cooperate with the actions of the elite white knights.
Annan knew none of these white knights except Maria. After all, he was not familiar with the members of the white knights.
However, after this incident, it is estimated that these white knights will be very familiar with Annan.
"The way these white knights look at me is really interesting. Everyone's eyes are different."
Annan stayed quietly beside the director of the observatory, watching Maria, who was responsible for leading the next battle plan, assigning tasks.
Also, tell the helpers who came this time about the secret of this combat plan.
Because of this, some white knights, after hearing the whole story, subconsciously looked at Annan who looked like an ordinary person.
"Having said that, the White Knights probably won't publicly announce anything about me to all members. They didn't even know what to do before they got here, and now they probably don't have time to contact the outside world. In other words, if next If all these people are killed in the battle, my secret will not be known by troublesome people, and I will not be monitored by the whole world around the clock."
A malicious idea naturally came to Annan's mind.
"Essentially, even if there are so many white knights here, it is still possible for the whole army to be annihilated."
Although the ritual scene arranged by the witch of the abyss has not yet connected to the power of the abyss, and may not have any ability to enhance combat effectiveness, it is still very dangerous.
Because except for the Abyss Witch herself, no one knows what will happen in that ritual venue.
Even if there is only a little bit of the madness of the abyss, it is enough to put people at a disadvantage.
Although this operation cannot be said to have happened suddenly, neither the Observatory nor the White Knight had enough time to prepare. The timing of the Fire Witch's contact was too clever, which resulted in both organizations having to act immediately. , otherwise it might be too late to stop the ritual of the abyss.
Although the White Knights are preparing as much combat power and auxiliary tools as possible, in order to deceive others, mainly to confuse the Fire Witch, they cannot be too grand, so only some White Knights are entrusted to deal with the Abyss. The witch's magic props or relics.
If he was just facing a casual black magician, or if he did not take the initiative to appear in the enemy's home court, Annan had no doubt that the fifteen elite white knights and white knight troops here could easily defeat the witch of the abyss. .
But the current situation, to be honest, cannot give Annan absolute confidence.
"Mr. Hylton, do you think this battle plan will be successful?"
“The only option we have is success, and we absolutely cannot fail.”
Joseph. Hylton acted calm.
However, from another angle, it can also be shown that he also has no confidence in absolute success.
"If this operation really fails, then no one can stop the Witch of the Abyss. If the White Knight can't do it, it's impossible for our observatory to do it. Once it fails, we will work hard to rescue everyone, and then Just run for your life."
"You, the director of the observatory, are quite honest."
Annan likes others to be truthful and tell the truth.
At least this way you won't hold out unnecessary hopes, which could lead to everyone's downfall.
"So, Mr. Hylton, have you prepared a way to counter the forced return of the witch of the abyss?"
Half a day ago, the elite white knight Maria was easily sent back by the witch of the abyss before entering the ritual venue of the abyss.
The escape method that was originally supposed to be specially prepared for life protection was instead used by the Abyss Witch.
The easiest way to solve this problem is to remove the magic escape rope connected to the starry sky magic circle, but then you lose the means of escape.
The White Knight is not afraid of death and must maintain this connection, but the director of the observatory said not to worry, he has ways to deal with it.
"The corresponding method has been found. Next, the witch of the abyss cannot easily send people back. I am afraid that the witch will have other means."
After only one contact and trial, it is impossible to fully understand the witch of the abyss and all the ritual venues of the abyss. The observatory can only do its best to prepare and do its best.
"Also, Annan, I suggest you activate the escape rope as soon as you get there. You said that the Witch of the Abyss likes you very much, but what you did after that undoubtedly betrayed the trust of the Witch of the Abyss. , she might be the first to attack you."
"Yes, that might happen. Don't worry, I won't be reckless. If there is any problem, I will definitely be the first to run away."
Annan is not a white knight. He is doing his best to help. He has no obligation to even participate in the battle.
On the other hand, the witch of the abyss was kind to him, so he naturally couldn't hate her, and if possible, he didn't want to fight each other with swords.
However, the strong director of the observatory was still staring at Annan closely at this time.
"...Are you really going to run away?"
"Why do you say that suddenly?"
Annan tilted his head in confusion.
Does he look like a brave young man? He can't perform miracles.
"Anyway, after I send you to your destination, I will bring you back immediately, okay?"
"Are you so worried about me? Well, that's settled."
Annan didn't understand why the director of the observatory doubted him until now. He obviously didn't have any bad intentions. It would be better to say that he came to help with good intentions.
Then, the next second he thought of the reason, and he understood why very naturally.
"What on earth did the Fire Witch say to you?"
"..."
Joseph. Hailton was exposed. He didn't feel any embarrassment. He was just silent for a few seconds.
"Annan, you have always been connected to the abyss."
This is not a question or a question, it is a word of affirmation.
"You may be able to become a tyrant in one fell swoop even if you don't need the witch of the abyss. Although this should be impossible, but... in short, the fire witch once warned me."
Annan knew it would be like this.
However, he did not feel the hostility of the strong middle-aged man.
The leader of the observatory just has some worries.
"I will not completely believe the Fire Witch. Even if everything the Fire Witch says is the truth, everything is a fact. However, I understand that sometimes the so-called truth and sometimes the so-called correctness are not worth mentioning at all. , On the contrary, it will only make people fall into a dead end..."
The director of the observatory has never been confused. He has always been very determined.
However, he does not have the ability to predict the future and does not know what will happen next.
"Annan, the Fire Witch has been watching you. You may be of some great significance to her, so nothing can happen to you yet... We have agreed that we will wait until you successfully break the blockade of the Witch of the Abyss. , after taking these white knights to the destination, I will call you back, that’s it.”
