Demon Royal Family

To fight guerrilla warfare well, understanding the terrain is most important.

Members of the Blood Scorpions know the location of their base camp and outposts.

Ivo got a detailed map of the nearby area from Madi, and by the way checked out the hotel where Leon and others were staying. After everyone studied the map for a whole day, it was night again.

Ivo, David and Hades went out in the night and arrived outside the hotel where Leon and others lived in Liema Town.

In several small alleys outside the hotel, there are several thieves hiding in the dark and watching the hotel. Ivo's target is them.

The three of Ivo quietly entered an alley and found a thief hiding in the corner. He glanced at Hades. Hades nodded and started the night prelude. He sneaked up on the thief and struck hard with the handle of his knife from behind. Stunned him.

Ivo picked up the unconscious thief, quickly moved his position, and left the monitored area.

Returning to the lord's longhouse, he tied the thief to a stool, tied his hands behind the back of the chair, and fastened his feet to the legs of the stool with leather bands. After a while, the thief woke up leisurely. When he saw something was not going well, he shouted for help. Ivo pulled out a fine iron dagger and put it on his eyelids. He looked directly into the thief's frightened eyes and said coldly: "You call me, I will I’ll take off one of your eyeballs.”

The thief calmed down obediently, and Ivo took out a detailed map and said, "Tell me the location of your base camp and every sentry post."

The thief clenched his teeth and seemed determined not to say anything.

David punched the thief in the face and threatened, "If you don't tell us, we will kill you and let you rot in the ground."

However, the thief still didn't speak.

Ivo suddenly took action and covered the thief's mouth with one hand. The dagger cut off three of the thief's fingers. The thief struggled violently in pain. The mouth held by Ivo made a muffled sound and shook the stool crazily like a convulsion. Three bloody severed fingers fell to the ground, accompanied by the clang of falling metal. Ivo picked out a small medallion from the pool of blood, "Your little tricks make me very unhappy."

David was startled. A light blue magical light flashed on the medallion. It was a magical communication item. It was originally hidden in the thief's sleeve. Just now, the thief wanted to secretly activate it, but Ivo immediately saw through it and stopped him. David He didn't notice. He was a little angry. He drew his sword and pressed it against the thief's heart, shouting: "Speak!"

The thief had a ferocious look on his face, glaring at Ivo angrily, unwilling to leak information even if he was severely injured. Sir David was quite surprised. How could an ordinary thief be so stubborn?

Ivo had already expected that it would be impossible for a group of thieves to possess the alchemy cannon.

"Ivo, are we going to torture him?"

"I have a better way."

Ivo took out two thick handkerchiefs, took out a kettle and watered them to make them completely wet. Then he placed the wet handkerchiefs on the thief's face, covering his eyes, nose and mouth. This interrogation method was better than torture. Torture works, as many examples have proven.

The thief's chest rose and fell slowly, and no abnormality had appeared yet. David asked strangely: "What's the use of this?"

"You'll find out later."

After a while, the thief's chest rose and fell suddenly, and his body twisted uncomfortably.

Suddenly, he began to struggle violently, and the stool creaked and twisted. He was like a fish jumping crazily on the shore, unable to breathe any air.

The struggle lasted for a full fifteen seconds before Ivo took off the handkerchief. The thief breathed heavily as if he had been reborn. With a look of lingering fear on his face, Ivo took out the map and asked with a sneer: "If you don't want to feel the punishment just now, I'll take you Tell us everything you know.”

The thief looked at the calm-looking Ivo in horror. In his eyes, Ivo was the embodiment of the devil. With trembling lips, he told the location of the base camp and several sentries. Ivo marked them with circles on the map. .

David was surprised: "How did you do it?"

Ivo didn't answer, and suddenly shouted angrily: "You still dare to play tricks on me, your lies make me very angry!"

Ivo once again covered the thief's face with a wet handkerchief, repeating the same situation as before, but this time Ivo said nothing after taking off the handkerchief. He only gave the thief five seconds to breathe, and then continued to cover his face with the handkerchief, and the cycle continued. Three times.

The thief's eyes were empty and he was tortured to the point of collapse. Ivo took out the map again and said in a cold tone: "If you lie again, I can play with you like this for a day."

The thief spoke tremblingly, and once again mentioned several sentries and traps that he had deliberately concealed.

David was shocked again by Ivo's performance, "How do you know he is lying?"

"I don't know, I just deceived him." Ivo suddenly pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into the thief's heart. In his disbelieving eyes, Ivo said lightly: "I never said I would let you leave alive. , I will mourn for you."

According to the intelligence, the base camp of the Blood Scorpion Thieves Group is located in the Blade Forest not far from Liema Town. It is called the "Blood Scorpion Nest" by the members of the Thieves Group.

Ivo handed the marked map to Hades and said: "Go and investigate the marked locations. Don't completely trust the map. Write down all the suspicious locations you see. We will meet at the edge of the Blade Forest in three days. "

Hades took a deep look at Ivo and left with the map.

David sighed: "You are such a cautious person."

Ivo shrugged. Although he seemed heartless, he was always very careful.

…

Every royal student is feeling sulky. They should have lived in the luxurious lord's longhouse, but now they can only use the hotel's hard beds and dirty beddings. Misha, who has a slight mysophobia, smashed them many times in anger. Bed board.

After two days of rest in Liema Town, they finally couldn't bear the harsh conditions. Under the leadership of Leon, they prepared to go to the nearest town to seek shelter and help from other lords.

After leaving Liema Town, Misha turned back with an angry tone: "Ma Di, Lord of Liema Town, I remember!"

After advancing for ten miles, the royal students encountered an attack by a group of thieves. They managed to escape, and almost everyone was injured. Leon was hit three times and his wounds turned over.

After running for a few more miles, they encountered a group of thieves again, and there was another fierce battle. This time, there were casualties among the royal students. A weaker student was hacked to death with a random knife, and Leon had a hole poked in his thigh.

The third attack occurred thirty minutes later. Only Leon, Misha, and Cicero were left to escape. Leon's right arm and left leg were fractured, and several ribs were broken. Only then did he discover No, I don’t understand why the thieves were able to catch up with them so quickly and couldn’t get rid of them at all.

Misha realized later and said: "They must have been discovered by the thieves in Liema Town!"

Leon regretted that he was too careless.

…

When the royal students left Liema Town and attracted the attention of the thieves, part of the security team and lord guards of Liema Town left Liema Town under the leadership of Ivo without being discovered by the surveillance thieves.

On a hillside outside the town, Ivo inspected the men lent to him by Madi. There were sixty people in total, most of whom were members of the security team. Forty-three of them were elite warriors, ten were level 1 warriors, and six He is a level 2 warrior, and there is a level 3 honorary knight, Deken, who is loyal to Madi.

Mary stayed in the lord's longhouse to recuperate from her injuries, and Beris took care of her in the longhouse. Only four people, Barlow, Hades, Ender, and David, participated in Ivo's operation.

Under the leadership of Ivo, this team quietly advanced to the edge of the Blade Forest and met Hades who was exploring the terrain.
