Chapter 554: The Evil Forces' Spy is Captured
Acting as soon as she felt moved, Liduo controlled her mental power and concentrated it at a position about five meters in front of the three evil spies. Then, she released a mental power slightly higher than the mental power level of ordinary people towards the two Lei family spies who had practiced secret techniques on the periphery, and reached them directly.
Coincidentally, those two people should be the strongest among the Lei family spies on the periphery, and they are probably serving as team leaders. However, they did not lead separate teams to monitor the periphery of the small mercenary group's base. The two were very close, less than ten meters apart.
This made it convenient for Lido, as she only needed to release a burst of mental power to cover both of them.
As expected, the two men were immediately alarmed and looked sharply in the direction of the virtual mental power source created by Lido, which was also the direction of the three spies.
They were a hundred meters apart, and it was the time before dawn when the sky was about to brighten. In addition, they did not take the Lei family's spies seriously. In their minds, there was no possibility that the Lei family's spies would discover them, so they did not immediately notice that the direction they were in had been locked.
Although the two people from the Lei family practiced secret techniques, they obviously maintained their rationality. Unlike many characters in film and television dramas, they did not turn around and shout "Who is it?!" or "Who is it?!" as soon as they felt they were being watched. Instead, they quietly made a secret signal to several spies from the Lei family who were relatively close, and then led their men to quickly rush to the location of the three spies of the evil force.
With the summoner's physical fitness, a distance of 100 meters can be crossed in just a few seconds. Almost in the blink of an eye, the two evil summoners of the Lei family brought five or six ordinary summoners under their command and arrived in front of the three evil forces.
When they were far away, the Lei family spies could not find their location, but when the distance got closer, it was easy to find them, not to mention that the direction was completely correct.
The three spies from the evil forces failed to detect it in the first time, so they moved slowly. By the time they reacted, the Lei family spies were already ahead of them.
The Lei family obviously does not follow the principle of using courtesy before force, especially when they have suffered huge losses and everyone here is related to the Lei family's underground industry. If they find any suspicious person, they will choose to capture him first.
At this time and place, in the eyes of the Lei family spies, the evil trio could not be more suspicious!
As soon as they discovered the trio, all the Lei family spies immediately summoned their elves, and all the people and the elves' weapons were aimed at the three people.
Of course, the trio’s reaction was not slow either, and they summoned their own elves almost at the same time as the Lei family spies.
However, the enemy is more numerous than us, with three people to seven and twelve elves to twenty-eight. Even if the individual strength of the trio exceeds that of the Lei family's spies, their elves are a great threat to ordinary summoners and normal elves, and they cannot make up for the difference in numbers.
While the trio was confronting the Lei family spies, other Lei family spies also reacted. Several of them came over immediately and summoned elves to block the trio's retreat. Now the trio was completely surrounded.
"Take it!"
Following the order from the two Lei family spies who had practiced secret techniques, all the Lei family spies and elves began to narrow the encirclement.
In fact, after seeing that the trio and their elves had the same aura as theirs but much stronger than theirs, the two men from the Lei family felt a little panicked, so they only led their men to narrow the encirclement but did not launch an attack. Their plan was to capture the three people without any harm, so as to avoid a flood that would really wash away the Dragon King Temple.
However, the trio were not the kind of people who would surrender without a fight. Even if they were likely to be released after being captured, how could they put their faces down if they were caught without fighting back?
What's more, if they get caught, it means the mission has failed, which will have a great impact on their status in that force. They will probably be punished, which is something they cannot accept, so they might as well give it a try.
So when the Lei family spies narrowed the encirclement and pressed forward step by step, the trio took the lead in launching an attack.
Seeing this, the Lei family spies of course immediately launched a counterattack, and thus, a war broke out as Liduo wished!
But again, the numbers between the two sides were too disparate, and the evil trio was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
Therefore, the two-person team among the evil forces' spies who had not been discovered by the Lei family spies had to support the three-person team, catching the Lei family spies off guard and causing huge losses for a while, which of course further aroused their anger.
This is also the reason why Liduo did not use her mental power to guide the Lei family spies to find the two-person group. As long as they did not watch the trio die, they would definitely be dragged into the battle. Naturally, there was no need for Liduo to do anything unnecessary, and she could weaken the power of the Lei family without doing it herself.
And if the evil force is the type where each member only cares about his own mission and has no comradeship at all, that doesn't matter. We can just do some small tricks to expose them when the time comes.
It has to be said that the evil elves have a very strong restraint on normal elves. Once hit by the evil elves' attacks, normal elves will basically lose their combat effectiveness temporarily, and have to concentrate all their efforts on suppressing the invasion of evil spirits, and will be completely unable to take care of themselves. As a result, they will be easily killed by the additional attacks of the evil elves.
On the other hand, the evil elves on the Lei family's spies' side were at a disadvantage against the other side's evil elves, so they could only rely on numbers. Therefore, even if the number ratio between the enemy and us was twenty to more than ninety in the end, the difference in the casualty ratio was too big!
In the end, two of the five spies of the evil force died, and their elves were all killed. The remaining three lost two elves each and one elf. Only the last one took back his elf when he saw the situation was not good and was able to keep all his elves. The reason why they were able to keep so few elves was because they had already surrendered!
The casualties among the Lei family spies were even more severe. Fourteen ordinary summoners died, along with their elves. In addition, almost everyone lost one or two elves, even the two who practiced secret techniques.
In fact, the reason why the remaining three spies of the evil forces finally surrendered instead of fighting with the spies of the Lei family until the last moment was because the noise of the fighting outside and the violent magical fluctuations alarmed the spies of the Lei family in the courtyard, and then they came out to help.
Seeing that they could not achieve their set goals and it was meaningless to continue fighting, the remaining three spies of the evil forces surrendered. Of course, the appearance of the younger brother of the head of the Lei family was also one of the reasons why they stopped.
It is easy to guess what they are thinking. The younger brother of the Lei family's patriarch is the one in charge of the elf hunting group. He is well aware of the cooperation between the Lei family and the mysterious evil forces. As long as the Lei family does not want to make enemies with the evil forces, they will have to let them go after they reveal their identities.
Although they did not complete the task of secretly monitoring the Lei family to investigate the truth of the accident, they greatly increased the prestige of the evil forces and achieved their goal of warning the Lei family. After returning, the punishment should be lighter than if they just surrendered.
Liduo was very satisfied with the result. After this battle, even if the Lei family continued to cooperate with the evil force, the rift had already appeared, and it would only get bigger and bigger and could not be healed.
In this process, more information about evil forces will be exposed, and Lido's goal will be achieved.
