Chapter 183 Liv is missing
"I heard that you were engaged in a firefight with those mercenaries in the Dark Forest, and that you were asking for help from the city of Guros. I thought you were a bandit gang," Gulit explained.
"Those mercenaries were sent by the Empire to hunt us down," Alpha said. "In order to complete the mission assigned by the Empire, they did not hesitate to massacre innocent people. As for the city of Guros, it is a city controlled by a group of lunatics. It can no longer be called a free city."
Alpha told all the secrets discovered in the ancient city of Ross and also brought out the evidence.
Gulit looked at the evidence, was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "I understand the situation, and I apologize for my previous behavior. The order I received before was to eliminate you, but the order I received now is to defend the city gate to prevent the enemy from invading. But now it seems that our enemy is the same person."
"What do you mean..." Alpha asked.
"What I mean is that I am willing to join you in resisting the empire together." Gulit said firmly.
Alpha looked at Gullit with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew that Gullit's joining would bring new strength to their team.
"Welcome to join us, Gullit." Alpha stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with Gullit.
In this way, Alpha's team has added another brave warrior. They know that the road ahead is still long, but as long as they unite as one, they will be able to overcome all difficulties.
"This place needs to be rebuilt or abandoned. I think we should let the people evacuate!" Alpha looked at the city where only broken walls were left. The people looked at their loved ones who had lost their lives, and for a moment they showed great pain.
The key point is that these are not robbers and bandits, but the empire's own knights. If they are allowed to go there to reason, if they stay, the higher-ups may even massacre the city in order to silence them.
"Go to Rimuru, they will accept you. After sending the people away, you can follow me or stay in Rimuru. I believe everything will be fine in the future." Alpha gave instructions.
Gulit nodded in agreement. He knew that the most urgent task now was to protect the safety of the people and give them a stable living environment.
In the following days, Alpha and Gulit led the team, escorting the people to Rimuru while planning how to expose the empire's conspiracy and overthrow the tyranny.
They know that this battle is not only for themselves, but also for the peace and justice of the entire continent. And their team is also growing stronger in this battle, attracting more and more like-minded fighters to join.
However, Alpha's purpose is just to stir up the mess in Fatalia so that he can fish in troubled waters. As for overthrowing the tyranny for the people, Alpha might as well go to the East and sacrifice his life for his compatriots. Everything is just an excuse for Alpha.
Alpha knows that in order to win in this chaotic continent, he must use various means skillfully. His goal is not only to overthrow tyranny, but also to strive for greater benefits for himself and his compatriots.
During the rest period, Alpha was not idle. He used this time to closely observe the changes in the situation in Fatalia and look for the best time to act.
"Alpha, do we really want to take risks for the people of Fatalia?" Gun asked doubtfully.
Alpha was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "We fight not only for them, but also for ourselves. Only when the entire continent is free from the tyranny of the empire can all of us get real peace.
After hearing this, Gunn seemed to understand Alpha's intention. He knew that Alpha was a far-sighted leader, and every decision he made was for the ultimate victory.
In the following days, Gulit led the team with the support of Alpha and continued to carry out operations in various parts of Fatalia. Sometimes they helped the people resist the oppression of the empire, and sometimes they united with other resistance forces to fight against the empire.
As time went by, Gullit's reputation in Fatalia became more and more famous. Although his behavior was somewhat unpredictable, he won the support and trust of more and more people.
Gullit also knows that his ultimate goal is to expose the empire's conspiracy, overthrow tyranny, and bring peace and justice to the entire continent. In the process, he will do whatever it takes, even at the cost of his own life.
Because he knows that only by completely defeating the empire can this continent truly get rid of the shadow of tyranny and usher in the long-lost peace and prosperity. And he and his team members are the backbone of this battle.
Under Alpha's leadership, the team's morale and determination seemed to be stronger. They followed the plan agreed upon in advance: if they encountered insurmountable difficulties during the journey, they would wait for three days to find a solution; if the problem still could not be solved, they would go to Cross to meet up with their partners.
During this operation, they were led by someone sent by Gullit, who knew the terrain very well, so their progress was much smoother than when Liv led the way before. Perhaps it was because Gullit's men often traveled to these areas and had rich experience in dealing with various landforms and weather conditions.
After a journey, they arrived at Cambesi, a city located in the center of the Kingdom of Fatalia. It is the third largest city in the country, about 500 kilometers away from the destination, Cross, and about 700 kilometers away from the capital. Cambesi is famous for its prosperous commercial trade, gathering merchants and travelers from all over the world, and is a bustling place.
In Cambesi, Alpha and his team have the opportunity to replenish the supplies consumed during the journey and gather the information needed to reach Cross. The city's market provides a wealth of goods and intelligence, which is essential to their plan. However, at the same time, they must also remain vigilant, because in such a large city, all kinds of unexpected dangers and challenges may lurk behind the surface prosperity.
During the short stay in Cambesi, Alpha instructed the team members to keep a low profile and avoid attracting unnecessary attention. They needed to complete the collection of supplies and intelligence in a short period of time, and then continue on the final journey. Alpha was well prepared for the upcoming challenges, and he understood that every step forward would bring them closer to their goal.
After completing the necessary purchases and information collection, Alpha decided to let the team members rest in a hotel in the city to recuperate. What they didn't know was that in the streets and alleys of Campesi, there were already eyes watching them secretly, and the next challenge on the journey was quietly approaching.
By chance, when Alpha received the envelope, his heart sank. Alpha immediately recognized the origin of the earrings - they once belonged to Liv, a brave and tenacious businesswoman, an Alpha woman, and his trusted partner in many adventures. She always regarded the earrings as more important than her life, because they were the relics left by her deceased mother.
Now, the appearance of this earring is obviously not a good sign. It suggests that Liv may have fallen into extreme danger, or it is sending an urgent signal. Alpha quickly recalled the last time Liv appeared.
Without time to hesitate, Alpha immediately gathered his team members and briefly informed them of the situation. The team's morale was shaken by the sudden news, but was soon replaced by a common determination. They must act now to find out what happened and hope to find Liv.
"We can't lose our composure now. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. Any action we take will be seen by the enemy. We must stay calm." Alpha forced himself to calm down. The more impatient he was now, the more disadvantageous it would be for him to rescue the woman who had saved him.
"Let's analyze several possibilities now. The first possibility is that Liv and her friends were not captured by the enemy, but they are in trouble. The enemy used an earring to make us lose our composure. The second possibility is that Liv and her friends were captured and are now being held hostage. They need us to do something. We now need to wait for the enemy's next move. The third possibility is that the enemy captured Liv and her friends, but some of them escaped. The enemy is around us.
Now we only have one address, and we have to check it out no matter what." Alpha analyzed calmly, thinking about his next move.
As night fell, the whole of Cambesi was shrouded in dim lights, and the hustle and bustle of the city gradually calmed down. But for Alpha and his team, this night was destined to be long and tense. They packed up their equipment and prepared to set off. The address was in the suburbs of Cambesi, not far away, but very desolate and hidden.
Everyone is worried about Liv's safety and thinking about the risks they may face. Liv's disappearance and the appearance of the earrings seem to indicate that a bigger conspiracy is quietly underway.
Under the moonlight, the group kept going through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived at the location the enemy told them in the early morning. There was silence there, and it seemed nothing unusual. However, Alpha knew that under this peaceful surface, there might be undercurrents.
Everyone quickly started searching for any possible clues. After careful inspection, they found some traces in a hidden corner, which seemed to be a fierce struggle. Then, they found some of Liv's personal belongings and some damaged personal belongings of others in an abandoned corner.
The situation is serious, and Alpha feels unprecedented pressure. He knows that Liv's disappearance is closely related to their secret operation, and they must find her as soon as possible, otherwise they may face unpredictable consequences.
