Chapter 591 I will prevent him from seeing the moonlight after eight o'clock
It is not an easy task to sneak into the Celtic City which has been on secret alert, but this "not easy" category definitely does not include Loni and Mo Cheng.
The former is a spy sent to Fairhaven by the Inquisition, specializing in field work for covert missions.
As for the latter, he also has the title of [Master Assassin] in the Shadow Sect.
In fact, Mo Cheng and Loni walked directly into the gate of Celtic City in a swagger. No one noticed that Count Mo Cheng, who was the biggest headache for Minanka, and the current Minister of Andel's intelligence department had entered their territory.
Of course, out of respect for their opponents, the two of them still used makeup to cover it up.
After all, it’s hard to say about Loni, but Mo Cheng’s appearance and clothes are no longer a secret in Minanka. For the upper class, it is an appearance that must be remembered.
"Oh my, the defense in Celtic City is very tight."
As he walked into the city gate, Mo Cheng sensed the loose exterior but tight interior. Before he even finished walking down a street, he could sense some scanning gazes in several places.
Is it the local troops of Celtic City, or the newly established intelligence department of Minanka?
After all, the upper echelons of Celtic City have close ties with the Minanka Noble Alliance, and since the last legal system of Aundair is located in the desert city where Minanka is located, it is not surprising that Minanka sends people.
"They have received professional training, but their methods are very immature. There is no such force in Celtic City itself. It should be the intelligence department newly formed by Minanka."
Mo Cheng and Luo Ni pretended to be a traveling merchant couple who came to buy some specialty products to sell .
The Celtic City is close to the desert, but it is not completely without special products. There is a special creature in the desert.
Locals generally call the desert the "Sand Sea" because in their eyes, this place really is like a sea that gives birth to countless lives.
Although the desert looks like a barren and dead land, there is a lot of life beneath the sand.
They are shark-like creatures with unique organs and bodies strong enough to swim freely in the desert. In addition to their sharp teeth, they can absorb and compress sand and then spray it out, forming a shotgun-like sand roar .
The underground demon worms are huge in size and often cause quicksand. Wherever they pass, they leave quicksand like traps. It is unknown how many lives they have devoured.
There are even desert ant colonies that have a strong tolerance to both high and low temperatures. They can eat almost everything they see. Swarms of ants will be everyone's nightmare.
…
Although these creatures are terrifying to others, when they can bring profits, they become the main output of Celtic City.
Even hunting sand sea creatures has developed into an industrial chain in Celtic City.
The traveling merchants that the two men disguised themselves as were the most common profession in Celtic City.
Originally, there were sand sea creatures in the city built by Mo Cheng. However, ever since Mo Cheng and the [King of Dragonborn] fought in that place, the breath of the dragon was emitted indiscriminately, and the place was also stained with the blood of the [King of Dragonborn]. Since then, those sand sea creatures have tacitly accepted that the area is a forbidden area.
In order to avoid suspicion, the two men stayed in a hotel where traveling merchants often stayed. The environment and hygiene were not very good, but the price was cheap.
With their current disguises, staying in a hotel like this would not arouse suspicion.
Inside the room, Mo Cheng and Loni, using the aliases of [Claver Lawrence] and [Holo], checked the room to see if there was any eavesdropping and drew the curtains to block out outside views.
"So, it's okay for you to follow me out. Is Andair's internal security okay?"
Mo Cheng was very surprised that when he was about to set out, Loni came to him and said she wanted to go with him. From what he knew, Loni didn't seem to be very fond of this kind of thing.
Her experience in the Inquisition made her consciously avoid such things.
"It was Her Majesty the Queen's idea to come out with you. Although there are few people in Celtic City, there are still a few people who are loyal to the royal family. There are few people in Aundair right now, and after we capture this city, we will also need someone to appease the people in the city."
Loni glanced at Mo Cheng and added, "If you take action, you probably won't look at the list we gave you. In order to prevent others from surrendering to us in the future, Her Majesty the Queen believes that it is necessary for me to follow your actions and stop you before you kill the wrong person. As for the internal security of Andair, there will be no problem in the short term."
Mo Cheng shrugged without any intention of refutation. The fact was just as Loni said, if he started to take action, he would most likely not care who was on the death penalty list.
"So when do we start working?" Mo Cheng checked the time. "About ten days after we set out, Margaret will gather the army and set out. We need to create chaos in the upper echelons of the city before the army arrives."
With the military rations being withheld, forcing an expedition would be tantamount to seeking death, but Andel had no choice but to resort to this risky method.
Since there was a high probability that the supplies could not be retrieved , it would be better to let the army take three days' rations and march quickly to attack Celtic City. At the same time, with the cooperation of Mo Cheng and Lonnie, the entire city could be captured.
The plan is bold and futuristic, but it is the only solution left to us.
At the same time, only Margaret had the ability to lead the army on a forced march in the desert.
The Laurenfrost family's heritage is a perfect match for this kind of long-distance raid tactics.
"It will take two days for General Margaret to arrive here. It is indeed difficult to plunge a city into chaos in two days."
Loni opened the curtains a little and looked out the window. "If you don't need to rest, we can start taking action tonight."
Mo Cheng naturally didn't need to rest. At least with his current physical condition, he wouldn't have any problems with physical strength even if he fought at full strength for a month.
"Then the first target tonight is him, Acting Archon."
Loni took out the map and placed the image of the Acting Archon on it. "Assassinate him without anyone noticing, and leave clues pointing to Count Haussmann."
As she spoke, Loni looked at Mo Cheng and added, "The Acting Archon has the strength of a [Hero] level, and has been at the [Hero] level for many years. Can he assassinate her without alerting others?"
With his senior [Heroic]-level strength and the recent changes in the environment, if Mo Cheng is not mistaken, the Acting Archon may have already reached the [Legendary] level of strength.
It is undoubtedly a difficult task to assassinate a [Legend] silently without alerting others.
"Give me the exact location of the other party, and I will prevent him from seeing the moonlight after eight o'clock."
