Chapter 27 Infiltrating the Army
"Anyway, we have already obtained a lot of the information we want. Tonight we will sneak into the palace of the Mechanical Empire, and then rescue Prince Clyde and his mother in the underground prison, and then escape. This matter is very difficult, and if too many people infiltrate, it will cause some trouble. It is best to go to some people for the time being. After all, the information we hear at the moment may not be 100% accurate, so we still have to leave some people to play a role in critical time periods. I think everyone present should not go all the time. After all, if there is a missed opportunity due to insufficient time or insufficient intelligence, then we can only regret it. Therefore, it is best to only need 3 people to infiltrate."
What Lu said is indeed very reasonable, and the security guards in the Mechanical Empire are probably not easy to deal with. Sending a small number of personnel is indeed the best way to do it. Lu has to participate no matter what. So, who should the other two go?
After that, everyone recommended themselves. After thinking about it, Lu decided to let Roland and Caesar accompany him to sneak into the underground prison of the Mechanical Empire. After all, these two people are powerful personnel in the team and they will not lose their chains at critical moments.
"Since that's the case, let the three of us sneak in, and the rest of the members have their own jobs."
“Do we have jobs too?”
The remaining members were Alice, Selena, Melo and Sofia, and Lu divided them into two groups. One of them was a feint attack force, responsible for fighting with the Mechanical Empire's corps in the imperial capital. One was to draw the other's attention and distract them from the rescue party, and the other was to test the power of Kugos of the Mechanical Empire. This task was handed over to Sofia and Melo. Their strength was the most powerful among the four people, and they were basically at ease to handle it. In the worst case, Melo and Sofia could also disclose their identities, so that they could cleverly turn the finger to the evil star without implicating the Luenlier Kingdom. Of course, Lu verbally asked Sofia to take on this job alone, and secretly passed on Melo through voice transmission magic.
The remaining Alice and Selena stayed in the hotel and waited for their respective news. Once they did not come back before dawn, it means that the plan failed, and they would have to be the last hope. Of course, this is also the result that Lu did not want to see. Therefore, it is naturally the best if all the staff returned safely according to the plan and rescued the prince.
Lu's arrangement was unsparing, allowing Melo and Sophia to feel the reappearance of the Demon King Solomon! This was also the first time that members of Nosfire's team (except for Aysia who was not here), saw Lu's amazing wisdom.
"Okay, since that's the case, it's 10 o'clock in the evening. Everyone should take a good rest first. The action time is 2 o'clock in the morning. Everyone should take a good rest for these 4 hours."
When everyone heard Lu say this, they were a little confused. Why did it take 4 hours to make a plan and take action again? Isn’t it great to act now?
"Don't forget, the entire mechanical empire is no one patrolling all the time. Although there are mechanical soldiers doing patrol work, there are still a large number of human soldiers on the streets and in the palace. The most annoying thing about patrolling is that there is nothing to do all night. We only start to act in the early morning. At that time, people are the most sleepy and tired, and are the easiest to make mistakes because of their unconsciousness. So we have to take this opportunity to attack, so everyone should have a good rest."
Everyone followed Lu's advice, and Lu also told them that he would wake them up one by one, so everyone returned to their rooms to rest after the meeting.
Lu also fell asleep quickly, maybe because he was very tired after a day, or because he had spent too much energy thinking about these bad things, and he fell asleep before much time.
At two o'clock in the morning, Lu woke up. He got up from the bed, moved his body briefly and came to everyone's door, and then knocked on the door to wake them up. However, no one came to answer the door in Caesar's room. As a result, Lu simply removed him from this plan, and Roland had to bear greater responsibility alone. Of course, Lu told everyone except Roland through voice transmission magic, and told Roland to be prepared for the worst.
After about 2:20 in the morning, Lu and Roland took out the hotel from the window and came to the street. During this process, they also wore masks that Melotte prepared for them. After all, their appearance was too easy to attract attention. Lu and Roland finally accepted the proposal and each wore a mask.
At this time, there was nothing moving on the street, and the whole street was as quiet as a dead land. Lu and Roland walked directly into the darkness.
Not long after that, Melo and Sofia also set out in another direction. Just in case, she and Sofia also deliberately put on a mask. Of course, wearing a mask did not mean much to her.
While rushing to the Imperial Palace of the Mechanical Empire, Lu heard a violent explosion, and then saw a huge pillar of fire rushing into the sky. Lu knew that it was her good thing she did without thinking about it.
Because of this action, a large number of mechanical corps and guards headed in that direction. At this time, Lu also noticed footsteps approaching them not far away. He hurriedly pulled Roland and hid in an alley. As a result, he saw a large number of guards sprinting towards that direction. Lu found that there seemed to be Gruz who had been on the "menu" by Melo in this army. Even if Gruz had already washed away his memory by Melo, that kind of fear would probably be engraved in his heart. Well, he was unlucky...
For this reason, Lu and his friends also arrived at the location where the back door of the Mechanical Empire's palace was located. They secretly climbed over the wall and entered the scope of the Mechanical Empire's palace. The specific direction to the dungeon was to be led. Lu also clearly remembered the map obtained by the Havings' spies when Luenlier's Kingdom. They chose a road without guards and no traps. The nearest road directly reached the dungeon.
"This is the area of the dungeon. It is said that Prince Clyde was imprisoned on the bottom floor, but there must be guards on the way, so we have to be more careful. At that time, I will use time magic to stop the other party's activities. Roland, I have to ask you at that time."
"I see."
"I hope we... can succeed..."
