Chapter 157 Leak

Having obtained the support of Jerhain and the help of the powerful man Graze, Lanwu immediately requested a surprise attack. Neither Gross nor Graze had any objection to this.

They both hated the existence of the Dark Crows, knowing that the existence of the Dark Crows would do more harm than good to Lugaoin. Jerhain sent them to lead the team to launch a siege against the Dark Crows, and the two only hated that it was too slow, and never complained that it was too fast.

For the sake of keeping it as secret as possible, Jerhain did not send professionals to participate in the battle, but secretly sent two city guards. Although these guards were just ordinary people, years of practice have proved that they are comparable to professionals.

One team after another secretly left Lugaoin through various cover means, and dispersed according to the map drawn by Overa, giving priority to raiding the underground temples controlled by the Dark Crows.

Before the departure of each team, Overa had quietly left Lugaoin and secretly rushed to the training camp headquarters, striving to subvert the training camp, the blood transfusion organization of the Dark Crows, in the shortest time.

Lan Wu, Flora and Irene followed Gretz and led the team to Huanglong, heading straight to the headquarters of the Dark Crow, an underground temple in a distant oasis.

According to the instructions on the map, this team of one hundred guards and two hundred mercenaries successfully arrived at the distant oasis through the teleportation array. But just when the team appeared in the teleportation array, they were ambushed by the Dark Crow.

Various skills suddenly flew from all directions, instantly causing great chaos in the team. Fortunately, Gretz was experienced and quickly commanded the mercenaries to form a defense line and launched a counterattack.

Two hundred mercenaries stepped on various halos, facing various skills and rushing towards the Dark Crow members who were ambushing around. At the same time, one hundred guards drew out their long whips at the same time, and crackling sounds rang out one after another. One magic bullet after another formed a large net, forcibly suppressing the firepower of the Dark Crow members.

The guards and mercenaries, one far and one close, soon gained the upper hand and forced the Dark Crow ambushing people to flee. At this time, Lan Wu walked out of the teleportation array and watched the dozen or so Dark Crow professionals fleeing into the distance with a headache.

The news leaked out.

Lan Wu secretly thought it was bad luck. He thought he had caught the opponent off guard, but he didn't expect to be caught off guard by the Dark Crow. Fortunately, the Dark Crow obviously received the news late and failed to organize enough people to ambush and kill his team. Otherwise, only one hundred professionals would be enough to kill most of them or even all of them before his team showed up.

"It must be that bastard Ruhadi." Gross's face was livid, and he couldn't suppress his anger.

"Gross, calm down." Gretz was very calm. While comforting Gross, he looked up at Lan Wu. The news of the surprise attack on the Dark Crow headquarters was leaked. If he went there again now, he would probably face the full-scale counterattack of the Dark Crow. It is difficult to capture the Dark Crow headquarters with only three hundred people.

"Keep going." Lan Wu laughed and didn't take the Dark Crow's demonstration seriously at all. This operation is not just about breaking through the Dark Crow headquarters. Another goal is to contain the main force of the Dark Crows so that Olvera can complete the task better. As for whether the Dark Crow headquarters can be breached, this is not the point. He did not think that the Dark Crow headquarters could be destroyed with just 300 people.

If the Dark Crows decide to defend, it would be great. By blocking the entrances, the Dark Crows will be trapped. When the teams from all over the country break through the underground temples and gather at the Dark Crow headquarters, no matter how many Dark Crows there are, they will die. If the Dark Crows want to escape, it will be just what Lan Wu wants. It's just the right time to chase them and make a fortune. He doesn't believe that the Dark Crows can take away decades of savings in such a short time.

Seeing that Lan Wu was confident, Gretz immediately ordered the team to move out without saying a word. The teleportation array is still a long distance away from the underground temple where the Dark Crow headquarters is located. Since it has been decided to continue the attack, there is no time to waste.

After the order was issued, the injured mercenaries and guards quickly set out after drinking the healing potion and rushed to the underground temple in a mighty manner. Along the way, members of the Dark Crows appeared in an endless stream, throwing two skills and turning around to run away. They could not hurt their muscles or bones, but they were very annoying and greatly hindered the team's progress.

The harassment tactics of the Dark Crows had long been expected by Lan Wu and others. As an underground organization, if you don't understand this tactic, don't say anything else. Surrendering early can at least save your life.

Whenever harassment came, Graze immediately ordered to ignore it. The power of harassment tactics lies in the fact that the opponents who come to harass are just chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and a pity to abandon. If there are not enough people, the best way is to ignore it. One or two skills hit, it is basically impossible to kill instantly, and there are enough healing potions for a little injury. With the full support of Jie Haiyin, all consumables such as potions are included, which is completely enough.

Lan Wu agrees with Graze's judgment. The laws of this world determine that harassment tactics are just a mirage. Unless you have a professional who can kill the opponent with one blow, otherwise it will not hurt, and at most it will consume a little potion. From the current point of view, the masters of the Dark Crows obviously did not have time to gather, and only the ordinary-level professionals appeared.

More and more Dark Crow members harassed to no avail, and finally had to gather together. They also understood that if the quality was not enough, they had to make up for it with quantity. Soon, dozens of professionals suddenly rushed out from behind a sand dune on the right side of the team, and instantly smashed out dozens of skills.

"Kill!" Lan Wu was sharp-eyed, pointed the giant war staff, and was the first to send out a meteorite. Almost at the same time, Gross raised his hand, and the magic power at the top of the Ash of the Root of Misfortune surged, and also sent out a meteorite.

Two meteorites, one large and one small, fell in front and behind the attacking team as if they were telepathically connected, cutting off their retreat. The meteorites exploded one after another. Both sides suffered casualties instantly. The first batch of skills were sent out, and Gretz and others also seized the opportunity.

With a roar, Gretz raised his shield in front of his chest, launched a charge, suddenly accelerated, broke through the skill blockade, and killed into the opponent's team. As the heat was on, the long sword brought a trail of afterimages, and fiercely brought a trail of blood.

"Kill!" Gretz was in high spirits, not seeking to kill the opponent instantly, but only to hurt the enemy. He passed by like the wind, and the professionals along the way were unable to dodge, and were left with a blood mark on their bodies by the long sword.

Gretz's sudden rise disrupted the formation of the Dark Crow professionals. Taking this opportunity, the mercenaries rushed up and followed Gretz fiercely into the enemy formation.

Professionals are certainly stronger than mercenaries, but their strength is limited. In such a face-to-face fight, the difference between the two professions is not obvious. Especially with a master like Graze among them.

The situation quickly turned to Graze's side. With a hundred guards firing in the rear, the Raven professionals soon suffered heavy casualties and were forced to flee.

"Rest for five minutes." Graze raised his sword and gave an order: "Those who are injured will be treated, and those who are not injured will be responsible for vigilance."

The mercenaries have become accustomed to this rhythm. No one was confused, and each took the time to recover their strength and life. The Raven Headquarters was not far ahead. If you recover a little more now, you will be able to hold on for a while later. Don't underestimate such a short time, it may save your life in the fierce battlefield.

The five-minute rest time was over soon. With Graze's order, the team set off again. After more than half an hour of rapid march, the team finally arrived at the destination.

This is a small hill exposed on the sand. The hill is made of weathered rock and is very hard. According to the map drawn by Olvera, this is a main entrance to the Raven Headquarters.

Following Olvera's method, Lan Wu fumbled on a piece of weathered rock that looked like a thousand-layer cake for a few times, and soon found the entrance mechanism that Olvera mentioned. Not long after, there was a rumbling sound at the bottom of the hill, and a stone staircase leading to the underground appeared.

"Wait." Gretz looked solemn, and raised his hand to stop Lan Wu who was about to go down. He turned back and waved, calling a mercenary over, and pointed to the stairs. The latter understood, held the spear tightly, and walked up the stairs with increased vigilance.

After the mercenary disappeared into the dark cave entrance, Gretz waved his hand and directed the people to block the entrance tightly. After waiting for about ten minutes, a faint shout suddenly came from inside.

"It's safe below." Gretz breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead to walk up the stairs.

Lan Wu and others followed behind and walked up the stairs. Just after entering the cave entrance, the temperature around suddenly dropped by several degrees, making people feel cooler. Walking down the stairs, in front of them was the underground temple that Olvera mentioned.

This is a small hall. Dozens of torches are inserted on the stone pillars in the hall, making it as bright as day. Lan Wu glanced around and felt helpless.

There were still messy footsteps on the ground. Obviously, Ende knew that this team was heading straight for the Dark Crow headquarters, so he decisively abandoned this headquarters that had been used for decades.

"Search." Gretz's face looked very bad. The most troublesome thing about the Dark Crow is secrecy. I thought I could at least block some of the senior executives, but I didn't expect the other party to be so decisive. The headquarters that had been used for decades gave up. Let the Dark Crow escape to the vast desert. It might be impossible to catch them all in one fell swoop. This means that this operation failed by at least 80%.

After a search, the information gathered made Gretz's face even uglier. This is the worst result. The Dark Crow really gave up this headquarters and fled into the endless desert.

"Damn it." Gross was furious and his face was ashen. It was all Ruhadi's fault. If it weren't for this bastard who betrayed Lu Gaoyin and leaked the news, how could the Dark Crow escape so cleanly?

"It's okay, it's okay." Lan Wu smiled and comforted the two, his eyes scanning around. The Dark Crow's escape was expected. The only thing that made him unhappy was that Ende seemed to have guessed that he would raid here, and took away all his savings, leaving only an empty underground temple.

In other words, he didn't get any benefits.

"I'm sorry, that damn bastard leaked the secret and let those damn bugs of the Dark Crow escape. It's all our Lu Gaoyin's fault." Gros gritted his teeth, wishing he could go back to Lu Gaoyin immediately to tear Ruhadi into pieces.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the first goal now is to hunt down those guys from the Dark Crow." Lan Wu turned and walked towards the entrance, and ordered without looking back: "Destroy this place, I don't believe they can escape for how long."

Gros and the others were from Lu Gaoyin, and they understood it instantly. Although the Dark Crow has many secret bases, they are not endless. Destroy one, and the Dark Crow will have one less stronghold. Destroy the strongholds pointed out by Olvera, even if the Dark Crow still has many strongholds that Olvera has not let know, it is difficult to guarantee that everyone can survive. After all, this is a desert.

The two people's faces eased a little. After returning to the ground, Gross vented his anger and threw several meteorites down, flattening the hill and collapsing the underground temple.

After destroying several underground temples in succession, they still failed to catch the tail of the Dark Crow. With the convergence of these teams responsible for the raid here, the team became larger and more efficient.

A few days later, the teams reunited. Lan Wu thought it was a miracle. With the character of Ende, how could he give up so many secret bases without much resistance? Unfortunately, he had too little information and could not figure out the clues.

Gross and Gretz could not figure out the intentions of the Dark Crow. After all, this is a desert. Unless there are more secret bases than the exposed underground temple, how can it accommodate so many Dark Crows? Even if there are so many secret bases that have not been exposed, where can they get enough water and food? Could it be that the Dark Crow knows that the end is coming and does not want to commit more crimes?

This idea was ruthlessly abandoned as soon as it emerged. This is ridiculous. How many professionals have been assassinated by the Dark Crow in the past few decades? How could they have a conscience and take the initiative to avoid it?

Lan Wu was speechless. This operation has really become a big joke. They said they wanted to destroy the Dark Crow. But they didn't play with you at all. Apart from dealing with those harassing teams and killing a few members of the Dark Crow, there was no achievement at all. If destroying more than a dozen secret bases can be considered an achievement, then it is not bad in terms of face.

Where did the Dark Crow go?

…

The third floor of the Lugaoin sewer.

“Father, I hate this stinking place.” Inata yelled at Ende with an unhappy face. She had been living in luxury since she was a child, and lived in a palace comparable to that of Jhein. She had never been to such a place filled with a faint stench.

“Why don’t we kill them?” Inata was mad and said coquettishly: “We don’t have to be afraid of those trash. Tell me, why?”

Ende glanced at Inata and said nothing. He just waved his hand and signaled his confidants to take Inata away. Although she was full of resentment, Inata did not dare to contradict her father too much, so she had to vent her anger on these confidants.

After sending Inata away, Ende’s face instantly became very ugly. He snorted heavily at a corner of the empty room: "I have given up all my bases as you ordered. I hope I can get what belongs to me."

"I never let people down." A sinister voice suddenly floated from the empty corner: "You will replace Jerhain and become the new ruler of Lugain."

Ende's expression relaxed, looking at the empty corner and snorting: "I hope you won't let me down, Dark Wanderer... otherwise I will kill you with my own hands. You should know that I can do it under the influence of the laws of this world."

After the voice fell, the figure of the Dark Wanderer suddenly walked out of the void: "I said I never let people down."
