On the evening of the seventeenth, Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan knocked on Gu Shi's door and told him about the next task.

Zhang Bei concluded, "We've now confirmed that we've found the place where the Hamid family is holding people. What we need to do next is find a way to rescue those missing people."

Before the operation began, the school had confirmed through some means that the missing people were still alive and were not in immediate danger of life, so the purpose of Gu Shi and his team's operation was to rescue these people.

Gu Shi asked directly: "What do you need me to do?"

Zhang Bei waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, listen to me first."

Then, Zhang Bei introduced the situation of the Hamid family to Gu Shi.

“Based on previous investigation results, there are two people we need to pay the most attention to in this operation.

The first one is Odur Hamid, who is the head of the Hamid family and is most likely the mastermind behind this disappearance.

Ode's strength is not particularly strong. He just broke through to the initial level of the seventh level more than a month ago. He is a mage who majors in water.

But Ode Hamid is skilled in poison. He possesses several unique spells that incorporate poison, and he has even used this method to kill opponents of higher levels.

“The Hamid family is already famous for making drugs, and after Ode Hamid came to power, they developed many horrifying new drugs.

You must also pay attention to this when you act. While moving carefully, remember to carry enough antidotes with you."

"The second one is Fadi Hamid, Ode's younger brother. He is the strongest professional in the Hamid family. He is currently at the advanced seventh level. It is said that he has gradually reached the threshold of the eighth level in the past two years and will soon advance.

As a warrior, he was known for his strength, and his primary weapon was a greatsword. Influenced by his family and his brother Odd, Fadi would also coat his blade with poison when fighting.

"There are only these two high-ranking professionals in the Hamid family. As for the others...

The talents of Odé Hamid and Fadi Hamid's children are not very good. Among them, there is no water mage who can inherit Odé's mantle. The strongest one is only at the elementary level of level five, so there is no need to pay too much attention to them for the time being.

In addition, due to the suppression of the Hamid family by the new king after he came to power, some of the more powerful professionals who were originally dependent on their family have left. The ones left are just some small fish and shrimps with not much strength, so there is no need to be too vigilant.

We only need to focus on the brothers Oude and Fadi. Even if the Hamid family may have hidden forces, the number and strength of high-level professionals among them cannot be too great, otherwise their family would not have fallen to this point."

Gu Shi pondered for a moment, "It sounds like these two are not easy to deal with. Especially with poison, it's hard to guard against."

Zhang Nan also complained, "That's right, and we're not sure if the antidote we have is effective against their poison. What if... well."

Zhang Bei did not refute Zhang Nan's words, but took this opportunity to remind Gu Shi again.

"Xiao Nan is right. Although we have prepared many methods to deal with the Hamid family's poison, no one knows how effective they will be before we officially take action.

So when the time comes, you must be extremely cautious and try not to get yourself into a poisoning situation, otherwise it may be very troublesome to resolve in the end."

Gu Shi nodded, "I understand, Captain Zhang."

Gu Shi did not back down because of these problems. He had been in the other world for so many years and had experienced many ups and downs. This difficulty was not enough to make him want to back down.

Not to mention that when he agreed to participate in this mission, he was already mentally prepared to encounter danger.

After receiving Gu Shi's answer, Zhang Bei nodded in satisfaction, and then continued: "As you said just now, these two brothers are not easy to deal with.

In order to reduce everyone's burden, my idea is to avoid them as much as possible."

"Go around it?" Gu Shi repeated doubtfully.

"That's right."

Zhang Bei nodded and explained, "The place where Ode Hamid hid those missing professionals was not in the royal city, but in a remote castle outside the royal city.

From what our people have been tracking the Hamid family for the past few days, it seems that Fadi Hamid is permanently stationed in the castle, while Oudh Hamid stays in the royal city to handle family affairs, only returning once in a while."

"But we heard a piece of news. It is said that the king of the Ativi Empire will hold a very important banquet in the palace the night after tomorrow. Basically all the prominent nobles in the royal city will attend.

The Hamid brothers are certainly no exception.

So if nothing unexpected happens, our action will be scheduled for the night after tomorrow. By then, Brother Hamid will not be there, and our action will be safer."

Gu Shi agreed and said, "Indeed, if the two of them were not here, the success rate of our rescue plan would increase a lot."

Zhang Bei continued, "In order to prevent Brother Hamid from noticing the unusual movements in the castle too early, this time we will mainly conduct an infiltration operation. The number of people will not be too large, and there will only be three of us entering the castle.

Qin Yao and Wu Zhenxing will bring people to meet us outside the castle, and Ji Wen will be responsible for monitoring the Hamid brothers in the royal city. If they make any unusual movements, he will inform us."

Zhang Nan patted Gu Shi's shoulder and said, "Remember to rest early today. We will take you there tomorrow to check out the situation and see if there are any adjustments to the battle plan. This way, you will have a better idea when the time comes."

Gu Shi replied: "Okay, I understand."

After that, Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan added some operational details to Gu Shi, and then said goodbye and left.

Because of Zhang Nan's advice, Gu Shi went to bed early, and then early the next morning, he left the city with Zhang Bei and others.

Led by Zhang Bei, they left the royal city, headed west through a dense forest, and finally came to a small hillside.

Zhang Nan pointed forward and said, "Gu Shi, look, the castle is right there."

Gu Shi squinted his eyes and looked out, and saw in the distance a gray castle standing in the wilderness.

It looked as if it had not been repaired for a long time, and its surface was covered with various mosses and vines, giving it a deserted appearance. However, the two guards standing at the door showed that things were not as they seemed.
