Infinite Cafetaria

Chapter 254 Counterattack

 Investigation tasks have the lowest completion rate among all tasks, and often require careful searching of local areas.

Compared to the cleanup mission, Malu’s golden finger chessboard perspective may not be useful.

If someone chooses him, he would actually be more inclined to continue taking on cleanup tasks.

Unfortunately, the missions assigned by the Holy Knights are not available in all areas, and it also depends on whether other knights have already accepted the mission.

 After Ouroboros and Cerberus finished their operations, Malu didn't waste any time and immediately led the witches to the apron.

He now has a lot of holy silver coins on hand. He originally wanted to draw more before setting off... No, he recruited one or two witches. However, the witches who joined later had a significant gap in strength compared to the Yusan family.

Ma Lu is not always so lucky. He can encounter hidden SSR cards like Ouroboros. Moreover, even with SSR, there are not many uses if the equipment cannot keep up.

With the church’s important mining sites in the Goradot Mountains being taken away, equipment is becoming increasingly scarce.

 Hence, Malu had no choice but to temporarily postpone the recruitment plan.

 He found his horse on the tarmac, opened the hatch, and was about to get on the car. However, the next moment he stepped out, his legs stopped in mid-air.

“Because we are in a war.” The herald said solemnly.

At this time, Ma Lu looked at the uninvited guest in the passenger seat and raised his eyebrows, "Why are you here?"

"Really, why don't I feel this?" Malu said lightly.

 “Hey, why are you standing still all of a sudden?!”

 When he saw him, Ma Lu felt a bad feeling in his heart.

The person in the passenger seat said, and it turned out to be the monk who had dealt with Malu several times before and called himself the herald.

The Cerberus was caught off guard and bumped into him, and he couldn't help but complain.

He paused and then said, "Lord Ximu, Deputy Commander Li Wei asked me to inform you that you and your team have been temporarily recruited to participate in a special mission."

"It doesn't matter. The authority of special tasks is higher than that of ordinary tasks. I can freeze your current task for you first. When you come back from the special task, you can continue or give up the task without any penalty."

 “Hello, Lord Ximu, I’m waiting for your arrival here.”

Ma Lu was startled when he heard this, "But I have already received this week's mission."

"Did Deputy Captain Li Wei ask you to come? Why didn't he just send me an email if he had something to do?"

"Our enemies have challenged us. They are not only outside the city, but also inside the city, and they may even be right next to us. Master Li Wei has to act with caution. Compared to cold technological means, he still prefers Trust people.”

"Are you still angry about the last investigation?" the herald asked, "That was not Master Li Wei's idea, but the request of the trial court. In fact, it was precisely because of Master Li Wei's guarantee that you were able to do so quickly. And...

"This is not entirely a bad thing. You have been very honest during the investigation and have fully won Lord Li Wei's trust. It is precisely because of this that I am here now."

 “What is the goal of the special mission?”

"I don't know." The herald shook his head. "I'm just here to convey the order. Deputy Commander Li Wei requires you to go to the northern forest immediately after receiving the order."

He emphasized the word "immediately" and handed over a map after saying, "Please land at the marked point above." Then he got off the aircraft, but he didn't go too far and stood aside. Watching Malu, Cerberus and others get on their horses.

Ma Lu knew that this was also a form of surveillance to prevent them from contacting other people halfway.

 He did not delay and drove straight to the northern forest. Halfway through, he glanced at Ouroboros.

Although the herald refused to disclose the details of this special mission, Malu was not a fool. Just because Li Wei kept it secret to this extent was probably related to the Witches Alliance.

Ma Lu did not want to get involved in the war between the two sides in principle, but unfortunately this time he had no choice but to do so.

Livy apparently did not leave him the opportunity to refuse.

Ma Lu now regrets holding a trade fair in the reception room of the Weapons and Equipment Department. It is estimated that Li Wei found him leaving the apartment at that time, and then assigned him a special task.

However, when he arrived at the location on the map, Malu found that he had only guessed half of it right, because he was not the only knight who accepted the special mission, but a total of twenty-five people.

You must know that the entire Paladin Order has less than 200 knights in total. This special operation is equivalent to mobilizing almost one-seventh of the entire Knight Order's troops, and more than a hundred witches were dispatched.

Moreover, Li Wei himself came and led the team in person, which shows that he attached great importance to this mission.

It was not until this moment that Ma Lu realized how deep the water in this mission was.

Although Ouroboros had told him before on the war horse that she would perform the duties of a witch in this operation and would not put the people such as Millipeda and Cerberus in danger.

However, seeing Li Wei's posture, Ma Lu was also murmuring in his heart.

If this mission really causes any serious damage to the Witch Alliance, Ouroboros doesn't know if it can still sit still.

But so far, the latter's disguise has been pretty good, at least it doesn't show anything strange on the surface.

Like other witches, she stood aside quietly, waiting for the next order.

Ma Lu should be the second to last one to arrive. When the last knight's horse also fell, Li Wei called everyone together and finally revealed the goal of this special operation.

"You may have heard of what happened in the mines south of the Goradot Mountains before. Those fallen witches attacked our resource points outside the city and killed our robes and those who were supposed to be protected by the knights. of civilians.”

His eyes swept over everyone present, "Now, it's our turn to take revenge. After secret investigation, I have located the lair of those fallen witches. There are many fallen witches living there, as well as their leader Shrike. exist.

"Our mission this time is to catch them all. You are all chosen by me. You are the elite among the elite of the Knights. At the same time, your loyalty to the Knights has also been tested. This is why I assigned you to complete the task. The reason for the task.

 “Let’s go, let’s end this farce and tell those guys who is the master of this land.”

Levi spoke concisely and to the point. After speaking, he activated his black armor and walked towards the woods.

 The other knights followed him one after another. With so many people acting together, the activated plants encountered along the way were eliminated as soon as they appeared.

They encountered few obstacles and traveled very fast. They arrived at the destination in about an hour and a half.
