Chapter 31

Bai Xiaowen was overjoyed. I was waiting for you to say that!

Before the fight in the tavern, Bai Xiaowen had already guessed that the two strong men of the resistance army had an important mission. Otherwise, they would not have swallowed their anger and watched the weak minstrel slander their leader.

Later, in their conversation, the two of them also explained this point. After receiving confirmation, Bai Xiaowen had an idea.

In order to increase his reputation in the rebel army, he had to do important missions, preferably missions that could enter the eyes of the higher-ups. Therefore, after completing the first mission, Bai Xiaowen tried his best to destroy three Imperial Army strongholds in one go.

This way, Bai Xiaowen finally achieved his goal and was qualified to participate in this important mission.

Immediately, Bai Xiaowen did not hesitate to accept, "This is my honor. Ralph, tell me, who do we need to kill this time? "

Ralph nodded with satisfaction, "We have received reliable news that the Imperial Envoy from the Northern County will arrive in Aveu tomorrow. Our mission is to assassinate the Imperial Envoy outside of Aveu! "

Lorga said, "If the Imperial Envoy dies in Aveu's territory, Aveu will have to bear the Imperial Wrath. This is something the Lord of Aveu will not want to see, and the Aveu City Guards will definitely stop it. Therefore, we must complete the mission before the Imperial Envoy meets up with the Aveu City Guards! "

Notification:

"Side Mission: New Mission Activated. Mission Difficulty: A-. "

"Mission Objective: Assassinate the Imperial Envoy, Elliot."

"Mission Time Limit: 8 hours."

"Failure Condition: Imperial Envoy Elliot enters Aveu City, or completes contact with the Aveu City Guards."

Bai Xiaowen nodded, "I will send that damn Imperial dog to see their Lord of Light."

"Not 'I', but 'we'!" Lorga smiled and patted Bai Xiaowen's shoulder, "The Imperial Envoy has close to twenty guards around him. Although most of them are auxiliary soldiers with no combat ability, they are not something you can deal with alone. "

Ralph said, "The Imperial Envoy's team will be camping at White Stone Valley tonight. We will leave now and complete the mission. For the Usok! "

"For the Usok!" Lorga raised his fist and roared. Bai Xiaowen quickly followed suit, raising his fist and baring his teeth.

…

At night, in White Stone Valley.

"Hey, did you see that?" Lorga whispered.

Ralph, who was also hiding in the dark, nodded slightly. "The defense is very tight. There are auxiliary soldiers standing guard in every direction. It's not easy to launch a surprise attack."

Bai Xiaowen observed the envoy sitting by the bonfire. He was a young noble, and his every move was filled with the elegance and etiquette that he had cultivated since childhood. However, under Bai Xiaowen's insight, he could clearly see that the special envoy's combat power was very weak, similar to that of an auxiliary soldier.

However, beside Special Envoy Elliot sat a total of four regular soldiers of the Imperial Army! There were two Giant Hammer Warriors, one Shield Warrior, and one Strong Archer.

The challenge rating of these four soldiers was level 2. If it was just Bai Xiaowen alone, of course, he would run as far as he could.

However, don't forget the two strong men beside Bai Xiaowen, Ralph and Lorga. Lorga was a level 3 Shield Warrior, so he could easily take on two of them. Ralph was also a champion swordsman of the elite profession. If he worked together with Lorga, they could easily wipe out this team without Bai Xiaowen's help.

"But, that's the problem …" Bai Xiaowen frowned.

One had to know that this was an A- grade mission! The Dragon language that he learned in Class Advancement Mission 2 was only at this level. If Bai Xiaowen could easily pass the mission by relying on someone powerful, the mission difficulty should not be higher than level C. How could it be rated as A-?

Bai Xiaowen was deeply confused. He thought for a moment and activated his insight ability. Starting from the envoy, he checked the enemy's strength one by one.

The envoy was still a weakling, and there was nothing special about the four regular soldiers. However, when Bai Xiaowen detected that not far from the envoy, there was a seemingly ordinary servant in a cloak, he was shocked and almost jumped up!

Lara Red Leaf (Elite/Challenge Rating 5)

Race: Humanoid/Elf

Profession: Sword Dancer (Level 3)

Attributes: Strength 14, Agility 21, Vitality 16, Spirit 9

Skills:???

"There is indeed a problem!" Bai Xiaowen secretly gritted his teeth. He did not expect that the envoy would have an elf with extraordinary skills. This female elf named Lara Red Leaf had a challenge rating of 5, which was no weaker than Ralph.

Bai Xiaowen was shocked. He used his insight ability and checked all the remaining auxiliary soldiers. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. There was no Ultraman hiding among the remaining auxiliary soldiers.

They did not collapse, they could still fight.

On the other side, Ralph and Lorga were discussing the battle plan. They waved their hands and asked Bai Xiaowen to go over.

"There are more enemies. We need a bait to divert some of their attention," Ralph said. "The remaining two will take advantage of the empty camp to launch a surprise attack. We will definitely be able to kill that cowardly dog of the Empire."

"I'll be the bait."

Lorga hesitated for a second and said, "Ralph is the main force of the attack. He must stay."

The job of bait was undoubtedly very dangerous, and the chances of success were not high. It was a dirty and tiring job.

Ralph shook his head and said, "Brother, I have fought side by side with you for so long. I am already used to having your shield protecting my back."

Hearing this, how could Bai Xiaowen not understand Ralph's meaning? He still maintained his hotheaded character and said in a low voice, "I will lure the enemy. No one is more suitable than me. "

Lorga was still a little hesitant, but Ralph had already nodded and said, "Okay brother, everything is for the liberation of the North!"

This sentence dispelled Lorga's hesitation.

Bai Xiaowen said in a low voice, "I will go and prepare. You guys wait for my signal." After that, he went around the col and sneaked away.

Ralph and Lorga waited patiently.

Ten minutes passed.

Half an hour passed.

An hour passed.

Bai Xiaowen did not appear.

Ralph frowned and said, "What happened? Did he escape? "

Whoosh!

The sound of a bow rang out. An auxiliary soldier standing guard at the entrance of the valley staggered back half a step. He covered his arrow wound and shouted in a shrill voice, "What the hell?

"— — Enemy attack!"

Whoosh!

Another arrow hit the injured auxiliary soldier. This arrow accurately hit the heart, and the auxiliary soldier fell to the ground.

The camp was a little chaotic. After checking the situation of the auxiliary soldiers who had been shot dead, the special envoy team responded. Two regular soldiers of the empire led five auxiliary soldiers to search for traces of the attacker.

This arrangement was very reasonable. The assailant was clearly only one person. From the way the assailant killed the auxiliary soldier, it could be seen that he wasn't invincible. Two imperial regular soldiers and five auxiliary soldiers were more than enough to ferret out the rat that had ambushed them in the dark and kill him.

If they did not do anything, they would not be able to rest peacefully for the entire night.
