Divine Flame Crystal

A month after Xingluo disappeared, after many fruitless searches, the dean and the old curator were somewhat discouraged, but they still instructed to continue looking. However, it was obvious that they had given up hope. The dean became more and more silent in the past few days. He straightened his clothes, stood up and looked at the stars outside the window, and sighed slightly, "It was so hard to find such a seedling, how could it be gone?"

The old librarian returned to the library, half asleep and half awake, watching the students coming and going. Sometimes he would sigh while looking at these energetic students.

Although Xingluo is not here, the Sky City Mercenary Group is operating in an orderly manner. With Mo in charge, there are no problems. However, although everyone is training hard, there is always a lack of the vitality of the past.

Xingluo is a spiritual leader. With him around, everyone's morale will be greatly boosted. Although everyone has heard that the captain is undergoing brutal training somewhere, they still hope to see him.

Especially Tiffany, her face has become thinner and thinner in recent days, and she always dies after eating only a few bites. Although everyone is persuading her to eat more, there is no effect. The silence of the mercenary group has somewhat affected the other members of the mercenary group. Although everyone's equipment is getting stronger, their strength is getting higher, and their training is getting harder, everyone has also fallen silent.

"Deputy Captain, something bad has happened. Someone has captured our brothers. The other side has too many people, and I was the only one they released to report the news." A senior mage with mud all over his face suddenly rushed over and looked at Mo anxiously.

As a high-level professional, Mo could not help but frowning as he seldom saw such a panic-stricken scene. The other side had a newly promoted team leader with 20 men under him, and he himself was a high-level magician, but all his troops were wiped out, and only the captain ran back. The Sky City is now considered a large mercenary group. If the other side dared to touch them, they must have something to rely on.

"Who is the other party?" Mo calmed down.

"Not...humans...they have dark skin, they should be night elves."

"What?" Mo was also shocked, and hurried to Alfred's White Tower to gather information about the night elves. This time the other party had launched such a targeted attack on the mercenary group, and he didn't want the mercenary group to be reduced to an empty shell when Xingluo was not around.

The Moonfall Intelligence Organization did not disappoint Mo. Soon he got a lot of intelligence about the Night Elves: The Night Elves had been enemies with the Forest Elves for generations. They were originally the same race as the Elves and liked to move around in the dark. However, because they were bloodthirsty and often clashed with other elves, the Elf King expelled them from the Elf Clan. From then on, they named themselves Night Elves. The remaining Elves, because they liked to live in the forest, eat fruits, advocate peace, and like works of art, were called Forest Elves by the world. From then on, the Night Elves and Forest Elves would fight to the death whenever they met...

Mo's hands trembled as he read the intelligence about the night elves. "These guys are all top killers. This is a big problem."

Mo immediately issued a ban, not allowing the mercenary group to travel. At the same time, he called Tiffany and the others over to hold an internal meeting of the mercenary group to discuss countermeasures.

"These are the intelligence about the night elves. Now they have captured 20 of our members, and their lives and deaths are uncertain. What do you think we should do?" Mo put down the information and looked at everyone.

"Let's mobilize all of our members to rescue those 20 brothers in the regiment!" Tiffany said immediately, looking a little excited. It was obvious that she had not been in a very good spirits these days.

Except for Tiffany, everyone else also wanted to rescue them, but they were very confused about how to rescue them when it was obviously a trap. Mo had already asked Yueyun to investigate their location and number, but with their current combat power, they were still lacking in strength to fight against the entire night elves.

"We must rescue them, but how should we do it?" Atlantis propped up his glasses with his fingers and looked at everyone.

"As we all know, the night elves are famous for their cunning and insidiousness. They must have set traps everywhere, waiting for us to run into them so that they can catch us all in one fell swoop."

"Mo, we can't rush into this matter. Since the other party wants us to rescue them, then those 20 people must still be alive. Our top priority is to find out their number and location, and then formulate a rescue strategy." Atlantis spoke out his thoughts in one breath.

Everyone had calmed down from their previous excitement. After Atlantis' analysis, everyone knew that the team members were temporarily safe, and they felt relieved. However, Tiffany was still a little excited.

Mo raised his head and looked at everyone, "Xingluo is not here, we must guard this place well and not let more people take risks. We must work out a detailed rescue method as soon as possible. The purpose of this time is to rescue, don't indulge in fighting with the night elves." After saying that, he walked out first.

When Tiffany heard the word "Xingluo", her expression was obviously determined, and her agitated breathing gradually calmed down. She said in a low voice that only she could hear: "Xingluo, I will definitely protect this place well, no matter the cost."

Soon Mo gathered everyone again with the information about the location and number of the night elves. "The other side has 300 night elves, most of whom are mid-level professionals, with a few high-level professionals. However, their overall combat power is higher than that of humans, and they are very good at fighting. Although we have an advantage in numbers, the other side will definitely use terrain and traps."

"So we have to be extra careful. We must rescue them with minimal losses this time. What do you think?"

Atlantis looked at Mo in surprise. He didn't expect Mo to get such detailed information so quickly. Xingluo seemed to trust him very much. They must have an intelligence system independent of the mercenary group. "There is such detailed information. If the information is accurate, the other party is just a small group of night elves. I think the chance of success is very high. We should split into two groups. One group will consist of a large number of low- and middle-level members to feint a frontal attack on the night elves, and the other group will be our high-level combat forces to secretly rescue the trapped members. The goal this time is not to annihilate the night elves. We must achieve this goal with the least loss."

Everyone made some additions and improvements to the suggestions put forward by Atlantis, and the time of action was set for noon tomorrow, which was when the night elves were the weakest.

Before the operation, Mo announced the details of the rescue plan in the square, and finally said on the podium: "Without Captain Xingluo's presence, someone dared to provoke us. As a member of the Sky City, although I know that everyone wants to eat those night elves alive, the goal this time is to rescue them, so don't fight too long. When you receive the signal, quickly withdraw to the base. Do you understand!?"

"I understand." At this time, the mood of the team members temporarily came out of their depressed state, and their uniform answers made Mo feel relieved.

"Okay! Let's go!"

There are now more than 500 mercenaries in the group. When they come out in full force, the scene is quite spectacular. In addition, they usually receive military training, so their movements are uniform and uniform, without the laziness and procrastination of other mercenary groups.

Mo did not call the Red Bearded Dwarf for this operation. After all, the other party might not listen even if he called him. In fact, he was in charge of the mercenary group, so it was convenient to mobilize them. However, the real controller of the Red Bearded Dwarf and even the Moonfall Organization was still Xingluo, and they only trusted Xingluo.

Mo, Ying, Atlantis, Erwin and Tiffany followed at the end of the team, while several other newly promoted high-level professionals joined the feint attack team. Although they were also high-level professionals, there was still a gap between them and those who were already at the peak of high-level professionals.

Mo pulled out a map from his armor, "Our goal this time is to rescue, so I drew a map. The green route is the safe rescue route marked according to the intelligence, which is also the entry route. The two blue ones are the evacuation routes."

Erwin and the others took a look at the surprisingly detailed map and couldn't help but ask, "Mo, are you sure we don't want to capture them and then conduct a rescue operation drill?"

The corner of Mo's mouth twitched a little, "Of course not, this is the information collected by the intelligence organization established before Xingluo left. As for more information, it is not convenient to say more now. In short, you can rest assured about the intelligence."

Tiffany's eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster, "Since it is the intelligence organization of Captain Xingluo, there must be no problem. Let's hurry up."

After Tiffany finished speaking, she rushed out first, and the others hurriedly followed.

"Oh no! There is a group of thousands of night elves approaching rapidly. Let Mo and the others retreat!" The mind of a cat royal who was in charge of the mercenary base was fluctuating violently.

"It's too late. They have been walking for so long. Even if the message is passed, they will run into the oncoming night elves when they retreat." Xi finally showed up at this time, turning around anxiously.

"With Xingluo gone, the mercenary group will be destroyed, and we will return to being wanderers. Moreover, he trusted us so much, but we didn't protect this place well. How can we face him?"

"But things have come to this, what else can we do? You should go find Mo immediately with the information, and try to escape as many as you can. We can still hold out for a while with the help of the mirage here." Xi's eyes were slightly red.

After the cat royal family left, Xi curled up into a ball, looking out the window with tears in her eyes, "Xingluo, where are you? Without you, we are so tired. I am really tired."

Xi Miao's eyes became determined, and with a "meow", he quickly rushed towards the red-bearded dwarf.
