Chapter 745 Undercurrent
Although the Dark Empire gave up the coastal cities on the West Coast, it did not mean that Ulric was completely ignored. The Literature Museum set up many eyeliners in various cities to monitor the movements of the coalition forces in order to prepare for the next double-team attack. Hannah, who was far away in the Western Continent, was also transferred back and appointed to direct the eyeliners' surveillance operations.
To be honest, Hannah doesn't like this kind of work that can only be secretly reconnaissance secretly. It feels like a hard work through countless traps and mines, breaking through the obstacles of a large number of maids. Finally, he got to the open-air hot spring near the hot spring to peep at the daughter of a daughter to take a bath. And God knows what actions the coalition forces will take next. If they land on a large scale and advance at full speed, it is very likely that Hannah and others have not had time to evacuate to a safe place. This is not in the Western Continent, and the coalition forces will not attack their civilians; if they gather these poor and pathetic guys to be slaves or even execute them collectively, what should Hannah and her party, who disguise themselves as civilians, do?
Although Hannah believes that with Alicia's personality, she will definitely not be able to do such a thing, but will try every means to eliminate the brainwashing effect of those civilians.
There are many tents built on a clearing in the woods in the wild. This camp is Hannah's command center. The situation reported by the eyeliners of each city will be handed over to her to analyze here, and then various instructions are conveyed downwards.
Just as the gloomy girl was sweeping around the west coast map on the table, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and a communications soldier rushed in: "Report! Lord Hannah, the coalition fleet bombarded Cheber City more than an hour ago, destroying the city walls along the coast. They are likely to be preparing to land there!"
"More than an hour ago?" Hannah's face couldn't help but become even more gloomy, and a trace of black gas appeared behind her back. The shadow standing nearby couldn't help but shivering, "Which soul is responsible for Cheber City? He hasn't come to report until now. I must make him look good!"
The communications soldier also looked frightened and replied tremblingly: "Well, when the coalition forces bombarded Cheber City, the person in charge happened to take his subordinates to capture the image of the Alliance warship on the top of the city, and then... so the report has been dragged until now."
Hannah curled her lips a little unhappy: "Tsk, since that's the case, then let's forget it. Then again, who is responsible there now?"
"Master Bob of the Mage Society." The communications soldier said with confusion, "Also. Master Bob mentioned in the report that he hoped you could send him a photo of Alice Harris, saying it was useful."
After a few seconds of silence, Hannah suddenly changed into a very bad expression: "Take it out and rub it when you are lonely late at night?"
The messenger soldier of Jiongjiu and his gods decisively chose not to complain for his own life: "I don't know this subordinate."
After taking out a photo and handing it to the correspondent soldier and asking him to tell Bob to restore the relevant functions of the organization as soon as possible to send him away, the big tent became quiet again.
Looking at Hannah who was sitting in the chair thinking, Ying carefully stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Hannah. What's wrong?"
The girl with short brown hair grabbed the elf and put the hand on her shoulder, then pressed her cheeks back and forth and murmured to herself, "I know this guy named Bob. Although he is just a small character responsible for logistics support, he has great ambitions and always wants to climb up. However, in normal times, this guy pretends very well and can easily get along with others. He can even act neither humble nor arrogant when facing the so-called powerful people. In the eyes of those who don't know him, he is a slightly black-bellied person who is easy to get along with and has a sense of justice."
The touch of the girl's smooth skin from the back of her hand did not have much impact on the shadow. He continued to maintain this posture indifferently: "That is to say, Bob took advantage of the opportunity of the person in charge to control the branch organization in Cheber City. The reason why the report was delivered so late was because he was busy receiving it before; and when he finished it all, you would not send a new person in charge there when you saw that the wood was ready. Right?"
"That's right." Hannah grinned and sneered, "It's good to be smart, but it also means that this guy is really good at it. I'll wait and see his ability for the time being. If it's just an embroidered pillow, it's not too late to change it. In addition, Shadow hides his identity and goes to Cheber as a trip. If I'm not wrong, the girl Alysian is in the city at this moment. Find a chance to kill her."
Ying suddenly showed a shocked expression, and her body couldn't help but tremble: "Are you telling it seriously?"
"Ah, of course, it's true." Hannah let go of Ying's hand and nodded, "We all know the character of that little queen. She is definitely a tyrant who is always making trouble. Leaving the entire coalition fleet and running to the enemy's city for reconnaissance is simply a common occurrence. The reason why Bob asked me for Alicea's photos was 90% because he had contacted that girl and had suspicion. However, capturing or assassing Alicea? Harris's achievements are too great, and Bob will definitely not want to transfer it to others, so she did not mention her relevant information in the report. It doesn't matter, he doesn't want me to know, so I pretend not to know. Ying, you are ready to enter the city now, and become a fisherman after the guy who underestimated Alicea messed up and kill them both for me."
“…Okay, I will do my best.”
——————————————————————————————————————
Alicia didn't know how dangerous her situation was, but she had already taken measures to deal with the danger. Icarus, who was guarding outside the city, could come to support at any time, and if necessary, the little queen could directly summon Bamami, who was acting on the Dawn, who was cooperating with it on Slime, to her side. With her own strength, even if Hannah came in person, she would not want to leave the girl for supper.
But neither Bob nor Hannah had the idea of sending a group of people to surround Alicea openly, but planned to play secretly - but this method was also not applicable to the little queen.
When Alicia, who was playing in the room for a while, felt bored and wanted to go out shopping, saw Bob again in the corridor, her predicted danger skills suddenly issued a warning.
The girl couldn't help frowning on the spot, but quickly returned to her usual cute appearance and tilted her head and greeted Bob: "Oh, uncle. Your face doesn't look very good. Could it be that she had eaten something strange? "
Which eye did you see that I was looking like diarrhea! Bob tried his best to resist the urge to lift the vase on a decorative stand next to him, and smiled and said politely: "You are joking, Miss Pearl, I am in good health. By the way, are you going out?"
"Well, it's too boring to always squat in the room, so I plan to go out for a casual walk."
"I understand." Bob nodded softly when he heard this, "Do you need me to arrange someone to bring you something? After all, if you are shopping, you can't get much."
[Is this a disguised eyeliner? Strange. What's going on? The warning that flashed through my heart just now cannot be faked, which means that Bob already knows my identity and wants to be unfavorable to me. In this case, why didn't he notify the military of the Dark Empire but chose to play with me here? Does she have other purposes? No matter what idea he is, it's better to refuse if he has been exposed. At least he can't monitor me openly.]
Thinking of this, Alicia shook her head happily and said, "No need. I don't plan to buy anything. I just want to try the flavored snacks and special desserts in Cheber City."
Bob didn't care much about this. He just suddenly showed a meaningful sly smile on his face and said something that made Alice almost squirt on the spot: "Will you be fat?"
"Wulusai! You have to care about me!" The blonde girl, who seemed to be trampled into a sore place, jumped up and said angrily, "Besides, with our figure, we won't be fat no matter how much we eat!"
After the girl who was smirking and watching the breath leave, Bob suddenly lowered his face and stretched out his index finger and hooked it. A subordinate next to him immediately attached his ear and came forward: "Sir, what are you asking?"
"Follow her quietly behind you and don't let her discover it."
"Yes. But sir, why don't we give her now..." his subordinate said, wiping his neck.
Bob immediately vetoed: "No. Alicia Harris has many powerful summoning creatures, and her own strength is quite good. If she fails to kill her with one blow, we will die at that time. Let's try to outwit it for now. Even if you fail, you can find a scapegoat to get away with it. If you really have no choice, it's not too late for us to ask Lord Hannah for help."
"Okay. That subordinate has set out."
But in fact, Alicia did not walk far away, but hid at the corner of the corridor. Therefore, she could hear all the conversation between Bob and his subordinates clearly. However, the little queen did not plan to take action first. She quickly walked forward for a distance and returned to her usual walking speed. She pretended to be without knowing anything and walked out of the gate of the mage association.
Before, the girl was busy doing serious business and couldn't take care of enjoying the scenery along the way, but now she can have enough peace of mind.
The buildings on the Telamir Continent have a somewhat similar appearance to the design style of the Western Continent, but you can often see pure East Continental-style buildings - most of them are shops or teahouses. Compared with the famous Paulai City of the Alliance, this coastal city is more or less deserted. Although this is related to the large fleet of coalition forces on the sea not far away and was just bombarded not long ago, it is an indisputable fact that it was not lively in the first place.
The demons control and exploit all the smart races on this continent, and the economy is naturally included. Most people cannot have spare money to carry out entertainment activities such as tourism. At least a small nobleman with this financial resources, so there is no roadside stalls that Alicia expects to operate for civilians. They are all high-end, fashionable and high-end stores but not favored by the little queen at all.
Alicia, who had learned the lesson of being entangled and stolen before, was leaning on a temporary blue style staff in her hand to show her identity as a magician. This move is indeed very effective. Although the girl was wearing a luxurious Gothic dress with bright red lace embroidered on the surface, and her fair skin looked more beautiful and charming, no one dared to come forward and take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
I didn't even dare to look at her too much.
[The atmosphere here is incomparable to the one in the Western Continent. It’s like a pool of stagnant water. By the way, the one who is following behind me is still there, so I’d better find a coffee shop to sit in and act.]
Naturally, Alicia could not own the currency issued by the Dark Empire. However, gold as a hard currency can be eaten anywhere. After sitting down in a noble cafe in a prosperous area, the waiter who got a few gold pieces from the girl as a tip immediately offered her like a god and diligently recommended the special desserts in the store to her.
The little queen, who had lost interest in shopping, didn't pay any attention at all. She casually ordered a cake with more strawberries and a pot of coffee, turned her head and looked outside. Bob's subordinates still followed the girl unyieldingly. Although he couldn't even enter the store door, he still stayed outside and refused to leave.
I guess I have to wait until Alicia returns to the Mage Society before this guy will give up.
——————————————————————————————————————
While the beautiful blonde girl was bored and spent her time in the cafe, the coalition fleet in the distance was a busy scene.
According to the order issued by Alicea (actually Slime), the coalition forces will conduct a small-scale landing operation tomorrow. Although they must pretend to be fleeing in order to cooperate with the operation to lift the brainwashing, they will set foot on the land occupied by the demons. This honor is enough to excite every officer and soldier participating in the war. Everyone is competing to be the legendary first person.
Little did he know that the honor of this first person had been taken away by the famous Alicia Harris - Saeko Mushijima, the first to rush to Shanghai during the landing battle, could only smile helplessly when she learned about it.
However, no one knows that the real Alicia is currently in the enemy camp. They just think it is a copycat made of a sticky and curious slime monster. Even if it is caught by the enemy, it is not distressed.
"Her Majesty, I don't understand very well." Dibis walked to Slime after finishing his work and asked respectfully, "Why should we let the troops pretend to retreat? Isn't it better to directly capture the city and then gather the residents together to remove brainwashing in that way? Even in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, what should we do when attacking other cities in the future? The demons will definitely be wary of this."
Slime casually played with the hair on his chest and said casually: "Imperial has recently launched a new product for entertainment. Dibis, you should know? It's the kind of gadget that can record various live images and play them in the crystal ball."
Both her expression and tone and movement are exactly the same as Alicea, and no one can tell that there is any difference between her usual little queen.
Although I don't quite understand why Her Majesty the Queen suddenly mentioned this, Dibis still answered seriously: "Yes, Your Majesty. The name seems to be...the magic camera is coming? What's wrong with this thing?"
"You think, if you ask Icarus, who is responsible for supporting the Slime, to shoot it, you don't have to go through such a big deal when you want to siege the city in the future. Wouldn't it be enough to just loop the image in those cities?"
It’s already very disturbing to the public to play the video public. What’s going on with that “loop play”? Hello!
Imris next to him immediately showed a star-eyed expression full of admiration when he heard this: "So that's it! He is really worthy of being a sister. He even thought of these small details."
The handsome blue-haired guy with a divine blue hair is extremely eager to hope that his girlfriend can waving a paper fan nearby and making powerful complaints to the little queen - but unfortunately, Angel's knight's soul was completely ignited by a fighter called Silver Pegasus, and she is currently playing rolling in the sky three thousand feet above the sea.
A few days ago, after learning how to operate the fighter under the instruction of Peacock Dance, Anqi tried to fly with her unfamiliar technique, and then she became completely fascinated by flying. When the girl knight was flying the fighter, no one could shout her from the sky; even if her little queen Alicia's life was threatened on the ground, she would only fly the plane to swiftly and refresh the number of cute girls from the sky.
There are no other complaints in the fleet. Francis and Jicrem, the good friends, have very good skills in complaints. However, they are not on the Dawn at the moment, Dibis can only look at the unconventional idea of "Alicia" and sigh: "Okay, Her Majesty the Queen. You understand what you mean, and it seems to be a feasible method. However, that slime uses your appearance. Is it really okay to play it repeatedly in the entire Tyranmire continent like this? I mean, you are not only the queen, but also a girl who is not married yet..."
"Ah, you don't have to worry about this." Slime said indifferently as he touched Imris' head who came over, "There is a fundamental loophole in the conditions set by Randy, and what you are worried about will not happen."
"A fundamental... loophole?"
