All-Professional Master of Darkness

Chapter 158 Starry Night Visitor

Under night, Lan Wu and his party set up camp in the wilderness.

The starry night sky in Lugaoyin is completely different from the few sunny days in Rogge Camp throughout the year. Under the bright starlight, Lan Wu looked at the burning bonfire and remained silent.

The mysterious disappearance of the Murkrow made him feel a little uneasy. This doesn't fit Eun Tak's character at all. What was the reason that made Ende, an ambitious guy, take the initiative to give up resistance and evacuate the headquarters?

Lan Wu couldn't understand. The raid plans were leaked, giving the Ravens an almost decisive hope of victory. I thought I would face strong resistance or even counterattack, but instead they ignored me and ran away neatly without any hesitation. Otherwise, how could it be possible to wipe away decades of savings in such a few days?

Murkrow is poor. If anyone held this view, Lan Wu just wanted to slap him in the face. As far as Olvera knew, the Dark Crows occupied ten ancient temples. The Dark Crows have been able to survive outside the city of Lu Gaoyin for decades. If they haven't discovered an ancient ruin, then their life would be in vain. There may be more ancient ruins discovered than what Lu Gaoyin knows.

Murkrow is rich. Whether it was the result of his guess or the clues collected from Olvera, they all pointed to this point. Being able to contend with Lu Gaoyin for decades, his background is certainly not something to brag about.

Thinking of this, Lan Wu felt extremely regretful. It's just a small chance of making a fortune. Even if you add two to one to make five, what you gain can at least double the foundation of Rogge’s camp.

Without him, Rogge Camp has been in decline for so many years, and there is no foundation left.

"What should we do now?" Gross's face always looked ugly. The operation became a joke and really hurt his pride. As a noble, he hated the person who leaked the operation.

"Wait." Lan Wu looked at the bonfire and said lightly: "Wait for Ovela to come and meet us."

"Yes, now that we have come out, we must seize this opportunity." Glaze immediately responded to Lan Wu's suggestion.

"Opportunity?" Gross was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

It is true that the plan was leaked and the operation failed. But it's not without some benefit. The most direct thing is to cut off the channels for leaks. If it is true that Ruhadi leaked the plan to Dark Crow, then now that he is in the wilderness, it is basically impossible for Ruhadi to know the next action arrangements.

After all, this is an endless wilderness where you can see the sky at a glance. No matter who does something unusual, someone will see it clearly. Therefore, it seems that the operation has failed so far, but it also gives the best opportunity.

After thinking about this, Gross's face became a little better. He is confident that there will not be many souls who betray Lu Gaoyin's interests in exchange for his own interests, at least it is almost impossible to exist in this team at the moment.

All mercenaries are elites selected by Graz. As a mercenary leader, these elite mercenaries are also his cronies. Excluding the factor that Ruhadi's scouts were hidden among the mercenaries, the only remaining ones were the city guards.

Jehein attached great importance to this operation to eliminate the Dark Crows, and specially dispatched two of the most elite city guards. A total of 500 people were guards who were absolutely loyal to Jehein. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some of them have already been bribed by Ruhadi. However, he was confident that even if there were a few omissions, in this vast wilderness, those possible scouts would not be able to successfully spread the news.

"Where is he now?" Gross asked immediately. He was only used to represent Olvera according to the prior explanation, so as to avoid inadvertently leaking Olvera's whereabouts and sabotaging the last potentially successful operation.

"I don't know." Lan Wu shook his head, looked up at the starry sky and sighed secretly. He knew that Olvera's actions would not go smoothly.

Ende can give up the Raven headquarters, but he will never give up the foundation of the Raven. The most likely possibility is that the training camp also received orders from Ende, and each abandoned its original station and hid separately to wait for the opportunity. If Olvera goes away, he may be trapped in a tight siege. The only good news is that Olvera, the paladin, is not a vase. He is the best among the Dark Crows. Even if he was trapped in a tight siege, he would still have a chance to break out and escape to join them.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lan Wu suddenly heard an extremely slight sound of a bowstring. Under the silent night sky, although the sound of the bowstring was soft, it was not traceless. He looked up suddenly, just in time to see Graz's big hand reaching out like lightning and grabbing an arrow without missing a beat.

"Good skill." Lan Wu praised him and moved to the side to avoid the sharp arrow less than half a meter away. This arrow was obviously aimed at him. Fortunately, Graz is quite agile, so he didn't practice White Heat in vain. With just one arrest, this sneak attack that looked like both an assassination and a summons was resolved.

"Who is it?" Gross stared at the piece of parchment tied to the arrow, surprised and suspicious. If Glaze hadn't caught the arrow, wouldn't Lan Wu have been pierced through the head?

"I don't know, but I guess he's not a professional." Glaze tore off the palm-sized piece of parchment and handed it to Lan Wu, then took the arrow and looked at it carefully: "There is no magic power fluctuation on this arrow. An arrow shot by power.”

After thinking about it, Graz looked at the red scratches on his palm and added solemnly: "It is extremely powerful."

No one denied Graz's judgment. Gross immediately cast his eyes on the parchment. Lan Wu was happy to go with the flow and signaled Graz to hand the parchment to Gross. Until now, he still knew nothing about the writing of this world.

Gross looked at Lan Wu gratefully, took the parchment and read it carefully. After just one glance, his face suddenly turned pale, without a trace of blood.

"The devil is planning to launch the third demon invasion."

This short sentence seemed to drain all the strength in Gross's body. There are now 500 city guards, 300 mercenaries, and a total of 800 of the most elite personnel in the camp. Lu Gaoyin lost these 800 people, and it was the weakest moment. If the devil launched a third invasion at this time, how long can Lu Gaoyin hold on?

Graz also realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly snatched the parchment from Gross's hand. With a glance, his face suddenly became very ugly. There was only one sentence on the parchment, which was to inform Lu Gaoyin that the third demon invasion was about to come.

"The third demon invasion?" Lan Wu groaned in silence. In the first demon invasion, Duriel was almost sucked into a dried insect, but he escaped by luck. In the second demon invasion, Duriel was killed by Andariel in two moves. Counting the first battle in that room, Duriel has failed three times. Even if the demon's foundation is far more than a hundred times that of humans, can it descend to this world four times in a row?

He didn't believe that Duriel would have such a foundation. Although he didn't know what the demon needed to descend, he could guess that it was not easy to get what was needed to descend from a high-level world to a low-level world. Duriel was only one of the four demon kings, and there were three demon gods above him. Although hell is big, it can't monopolize so many resources.

But the parchment clearly said that the third demon invasion was about to begin.

Prank? Or the truth?

Two thoughts flashed back and forth in his mind like a revolving lantern. He was not sure whether the demon invasion would really happen. He got through the last two times by luck, and now it's the third time, it's not so easy to get through.

While thinking, Lan Wu cast his eyes on the fifteen small amulets spinning around him. Last time, ten small amulets full of magic were used up at once, and now only three small amulets full of magic are left. It is obviously impossible to kill Duriel again with this little trump card. Unless Duriel is stupid again and lets himself get close, and use the talisman and small amulet on his body to forcibly extract its magic. This is obviously impossible. Duriel fell in the same place twice in a row, and he is not worthy of being a demon king.

"There is a person over there." Rodament suddenly spoke, interrupting Lan Wu's thoughts.

Lan Wu woke up immediately and was secretly shocked. The location Rodament pointed to was clearly a tent at the outermost edge of the camp. But now everyone is clearly gathered by the campfire and eating silently. Who is still in the tent?

"He wants to assassinate you." Lan Ya immediately confirmed Rodament's words.

"Is it the archer?" Lan Wu was startled and jumped up. Before his feet landed on the ground, he immediately teleported several times and came to the front of the tent.

Lan Wu's actions made Gross and the others confused. Then they saw Lan Wu shouted at the tent in a deep voice: "I know you are in it, come out."

Grez was shocked and whistled immediately. The mercenaries in the camp moved instantly. They were indeed elite mercenaries. They formed a circle at the first time and surrounded the tent tightly. The city guards reacted a little slower, but they also pulled out their long whips in the shortest time and formed another line of defense outside the circle.

"Who is it?" Gross teleported to Lan Wu's side, his face almost black. The camp was arranged by him and Grez together. Letting an outsider sneak into the camp without anyone noticing was like a slap in his face.

"Still want to run?" Lan Wu grabbed the giant war staff and fired two fire bombs, hitting the shadow outside the tent.

Gross's face sank. If he let this damn guy escape, how could he still have the face to follow Lan Wu. He immediately took out the Root of the Ash Staff and sent out a wall of fire, firmly blocking the direction leading to the outside of the camp.

Under the blazing flames, a vague figure appeared. This is a woman. Although her appearance was not very clear, the two short crossbows in her hands surprised everyone.

"Another special professional?" Lan Wu opened his eyes wide and stared at the two crossbows in the woman's hands.

Crossbows are considered universal weapons, but usually only Amazons use them. But crossbows are two-handed weapons. Even Amazons who are proficient in bows and crossbows cannot use two crossbows at the same time.

"Zakarum Renaissance Society." Lan Wu judged that this woman was not an Amazon, and the underground organization that Claudia had mentioned immediately emerged in his mind.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand to stop Gross who wanted to pursue the victory, and said in a deep voice: "Zakarum Renaissance Society... Who are you?"
