Chapter 265 Conspiracy
Russell and Wen Jing rushed back to Jizhou Town.

After handing in the sublimated blood, the two of them had no other tasks for a short period of time.

Soon, other teams also returned to Jizhou Town one after another.

However, carrying out missions always involves risks, and not all teams are as smooth sailing as they were.

Some convoys even contained elite cadres from the demon army, causing considerable trouble to some teams.

However, injuries and even deaths were very common among the Northern Defense Army, so the atmosphere in the city was not particularly heavy.

However, Russell began to doubt his previous judgment: "Is it really just a coincidence that the team Sister Wen and I encountered was relatively weak?"

He also made some inquiries these days. Some of the other teams seized sublimated blood just like them, but some did not. Instead, they were materials for other experiments of the demon army.

"Forget it. There's no point in thinking so much."

Russell breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed his doubts in his heart.

After all, it should be Kuang Shouzheng and others who should consider these things, not him, a small deputy commander.

Just then, Russell's cell phone vibrated.

It was an internal encrypted communication, asking all the Jade Level Card Creators who were still able to move in the city to go to the tents.

Seeing that there were two or three fewer Emerald-level card makers in the tent compared to last time, Russell tugged at Wen Jing's sleeve and said, "Sister Wen, the casualties this time should be considered relatively small, right?"

Two or three Emerald-level card makers are nothing to a border town of Jizhou’s size.

But in other places, even the weakest Emerald-level card maker can easily suppress a small city without interference from the same level.

However, after hearing his words, the usually heartless short-haired woman became serious: "No, every Emerald Grade is a valuable talent of the Northern Defense Army. Even if only one person dies, it is a huge loss."

"But this is the Northern Defense Army. No one can tell whether they can see the sun tomorrow."

"Besides, Ronaldinho, why do you think we should shrink our defense?"

You should know that the Ming Dynasty and the demon army have been in a stalemate for many years, and they have been able to maintain a dynamic balance in the past. However, in recent years, with the increasing frequency of the appearance of secret realms, the Ming Dynasty has found it somewhat difficult to maintain its original long defense line.

Sighing, Wen Jing whispered, "Actually, it has something to do with Ye Diantang."

"If there hadn't been a palace-level secret realm in Shu, our Northern Defense Army wouldn't have had such a hard time."

After saying this, she seemed to have said nothing, and returned to her previous indifferent look: "Hey, Xiao Luo, don't think too much, that kind of thing has little to do with us."

"We just have to follow orders."

Hearing this, Russell nodded silently.

At this time, the commander-in-chief Kuang Shouzheng saw that everyone had arrived, so he said, "Everyone completed the last mission very well."

"It's just that I received another tip yesterday, saying that the demon army has another batch of experimental materials on the way."

As he spoke, the bald man glanced at everyone present.

But Russell was a little confused.

"So fast?"

In his opinion, if he were the commander of the demon army, it would be impossible to arrange two escort missions in a row in a short period of time.

Because they lost so many convoys last time, the Northern Defense Army almost told you that I can intercept relevant information.

Just as Russell was about to report his guess to Kuang Shouzheng, he heard him continue, "But this time, I hope everyone will be more vigilant."

"It is very likely that this is a trap set by the demon army, but we have to go."

Hearing these words, Russell was stunned at first, then he felt relieved.

Yes, if he could think of it, how could Kuang Shouzheng, the commander-in-chief, not think of it?

And the bald man is right.

This time the demon army used an open strategy.

We are telling you clearly that even if you can intercept our messages, it doesn’t matter whether you come or not.

Come on, let’s have a real fight.

If you don't come, they will take the experimental materials away.

The Northern Defense Army dare not gamble that there are no important items in the experimental materials.

Thinking of this, Russell couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It still depends on who has the bigger fist."

At the same time, Kuang Shouzheng's last words also reached his ears: "The groups remain the same, everyone go back and prepare."

Russell had no objection to being in the same group with Wen Jing.

Not to mention that the other party took good care of him during the mission, just in terms of the level of tacit understanding, it must be that the two of them have been working together for a period of time and have a better understanding of each other.

I just don’t know whether Wen Jing’s previous partner died or was transferred somewhere else.

Just as he was thinking this, Wen Jing put her arm around his shoulders in a somewhat unremarkable manner: "This time we are going to meet the elite of the demon army, Xiao Luo, are you really okay?"

"Don't be so stubborn, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Master Zhang if anything goes wrong."

Russell knew that the short-haired woman was concerned about him, so he pretended to be serious and said, "There is absolutely no rival ahead of us."

"?"

Wen Jing shuddered and immediately moved away from Russell, then whistled as if she didn't know him.

The breeze blew up the snow on the ground, and the anti-skid tires left traces.

In the middle of the large convoy, a humanoid demon with a leopard face was reporting softly to the three demon army officers in front of him who were resting with their eyes closed: "My three lords, we are almost at the place where the accident happened last time."

The cadre sitting in the middle replied without even opening his eyes. "Got it. Ask the people below to pay attention to the surroundings." "Yes."

In the distance, Russell and Wen Jing were lying on another high slope.

At this time, because of the thick snow, there was nothing unusual to see from the outside, not to mention that Wen Jing also used the card ability to conceal their breath.

“Three.”

"Sister Wen, are we going to do it now?"

Wen Jing shook her head slightly when she heard this: "Let's wait until they are far away and let down their guard."

As she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Russell's big belt.

After lurking for so long, she had taken several secret glances but still couldn't figure out anything.

But before setting off, the young man vowed that this was his life-saving trump card, but nothing changed after he put it on.

The reason why Russell did this was naturally to learn from General Duanmu's fine tradition of never taking off his belt.

Seeing the convoy moving further away, Wen Jing retracted her gaze and shouted in a low voice: "Do it!"

The next moment, Xiao Wu appeared behind the convoy in the distance.

But unlike the last time, this time the black and white ruthless god of death did not take many lives before being stopped.

"boom!"

The deafening sound splashed the snow all over the sky.

"It's you, the high-risk target [Four-winged Demon·Unnamed]."

At this moment, a voice came from behind the falling snow.

At this time, Xiao Wu also recognized that the owner of the voice was Yale, with whom he had fought in the last siege.

He casually threw the emerald green spirit spear in his hand, and a scar was instantly created on the snow.

Ignoring the attack that had grazed his body, Yale turned to look at the other two demon army officers beside him: "I think my ability usage permission has been granted by now, right?"

"Go ahead and do it. The adults agree."

Hearing this, Yale smiled.

"Boom!"

A dull heartbeat sound was heard, and the low-level demons present covered their hearts one after another, looking painfully at Yale who was not far in front of them.

Then countless blood gathered in Yale's hands.

Behind him at this moment were mummies whose blood had been drained out.

Without any defense, the scarlet blade instantly swept past the place where Xiao Wu was originally, leaving a long scar on the ground. The bloodstains were particularly conspicuous on the white snow.

"Do you think this trick can sway me?"

A ruthless voice sounded, and Xiao Wu's intact figure instantly appeared beside Yale, and the spirit spear in his hand stabbed the other party fiercely.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Emerald green and scarlet intertwined.

The two of them had fought many times in just a few seconds.

The other two Demon Army officers naturally wanted to go and support Yale, but unfortunately Wen Jing's cards had already entangled them.

"As expected of a high-risk target, it's really difficult to deal with."

The blood blade swept past, and Xiao Wu raised the spirit spear in his hand and wanted to block it.

But what he didn't expect was that at the moment the two came into contact, the blood blade suddenly broke, and then condensed again on the inside of his arm.

The next moment, a pale right arm flew high up and fell on the snow, stirring up a flurry of snowflakes.

"pity."

Seeing this, Yale smacked his lips and looked at the little crow that appeared in the distance with a headache.

In the eyes of the demon, Xiao Wu's broken right arm was recovering at a high speed, and it was back to normal in just a few breaths.

"So, cards like you with unreasonable recovery abilities are just shameless!"

Yale attacked Xiao Wu again with some annoyance, waving the bloody blade in his hand wantonly.

Scarlet light spread out in all directions. Trees within a radius of several kilometers were cut in half by Yale's attack, and the surrounding snow was dotted with bloodstains.

However, Xiao Wu, who had been cheated once, would naturally not be fooled a second time.

Since close combat cannot defend against the opponent's attacks, it is better to switch to long-range mode.

Dodging the continuously attacking blood blades, Xiao Wu lightly tapped his index finger, and several black flashes cut through the air and shot towards Yale.

It's not that he didn't want to use the Thunder Spear, but in such a large-scale attack, even if there were any experimental materials, they would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

As the two fought, the snow gradually disappeared, revealing the dark brown frozen soil.

Russell, who was far away, watched as Yale continued to spurt blood all over the place, and muttered in confusion, "Is the amount of bleeding so exaggerated?"

At the same time, Yale's originally irritable expression calmed down instantly, and a bloodthirsty arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you really think I will continue to stalemate with you like this?"

"caught you!"

As he finished speaking, the scarlet bloodstains that had gradually spread across the battlefield since the fight with Xiao Wu suddenly turned into blood arrows and shot towards the direction of Russell and the other two.
