“Well, Marquis Raeven will be here soon. Can we talk business first?”

Princess Lana interrupted everyone's conversation softly, and an awkward but polite smile appeared on her fair and beautiful face.

Deng Yougang glanced at Lana and sighed quietly in his heart.

As an insider who has read the original novel, he has very complicated feelings about Princess Lana.

Lana is a natural genius, possessing strong thinking, insight, observation, imagination, and understanding...

In all abilities related to thinking, she has reached the pinnacle of human nature.

If an ordinary genius is someone who has a flash of inspiration at a critical moment, then Lana's thinking is made up of flashes of inspiration.

When she was very young, she could easily understand many things that adults could not understand. These things appeared in her mind like heartbeat and breathing, and she didn't even need to think about the process.

Because of this, Lana didn't understand why others couldn't understand what she could understand.

If someone of her level appeared at this time and noticed her talent, perhaps he could guide her onto the right path.

But unfortunately, such a person did not exist in her past.

Therefore, the loneliness of the genius made her realize that she was different from ordinary people. The lack of similar environment also had a profound impact on her mental development.

Today, Princess Lana's psychology has been twisted into a "mental alien species".

In real life, she plays the role of a perfect princess who conforms to universal human values, but in fact she doesn't care about all this.

If Lana had not picked up the dying boy in the royal capital on a whim on that rainy day, she might have already been unable to endure living in the same world with those despicable and inferior species around her.

But now, her heart has been filled with the boy she picked up.

Because that boy was the only one who completely trusted, completely respected, and completely treated her as a human being.

If you only listen to these few sentences, you might think that this is a clichéd story of a hero and heroine redeeming each other, but in fact, Lana's mental distortion is irreversible.

Her so-called love is also quite distorted in terms of universal values.

To be honest, if Bai Lang hadn't insisted, Deng Yougang really didn't want to deal with this guy.

Perhaps sensing Deng Yougang's strange gaze, Princess Lana glanced at him lightly, then smiled as usual and said, "We have discovered seven Eight-Arm strongholds so far, and there are five members of Cang Qiangwei, plus the two Excellencies, that makes a total of seven people."

"And the enemy's strongest force, the Six Arms, had a total of six people. Now that the Phantom Demon has been defeated, there are only five left."

"If we split up and act separately, we can attack seven locations at the same time. As long as there are no more than two six-armed members at a location, I think it should work."

The girls of Cang Qiangwei looked at each other.

Lagis said in a deep voice: "Dispersing the troops is a taboo, right?"

Lana smiled and said, "Well, so I plan to invite the Warrior Captain as well."

Ibiruai said in a deep voice, “Gazef Stronoff? He is indeed a trustworthy person. If even he is corrupted by the Eight Fingers, then there is no hope for this country…”

Lagis sighed and complained, "Don't be so negative all the time. Trust others once in a while, okay?"

Ibiruai turned her head slightly and did not answer.

Bai Lang's eyes swept over the women, then he smiled and shrugged, saying, "We don't mind splitting up or anything like that. Compared to this, I want to know, can defeating Eight Fingers and Six Arms allow me to be promoted to an Abreast Steel-level adventurer?"

Lana said softly, "If it succeeds, of course it's fine, but if it fails, I'm sorry, Mr. Azure Sword, for the sake of the relationship between you and the Adventurer's Guild, this commission cannot be disclosed to the outside world."

Bai Lang laughed loudly, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, this sentence is enough!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door by the maid.

Princess Lana stood up and bowed apologetically, "My apologies, Marquis Raeven is here. I have to leave for a while."

…

…

That evening, in a remote area of ​​the royal city.

A large number of adventurers and elite soldiers gathered together.

At the center were naturally the fully armed members of the steel-class adventure team 'Blue Rose'.

After Princess Lana communicated with Marquis Raeven, she received information about the eighth stronghold from the Second Prince, so the original seven-pronged operation was expanded to eight-pronged operations.

The difficulty of the action is naturally greatly increased.

But fortunately, manpower is no longer a problem.

In addition to the seven people who had been agreed upon long ago, Princess Lana also invited the kingdom's warrior captain and his elite soldiers.

The Kingdom’s Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff also brought a friend with him, Brian Unglaus, who was as famous as him.

As a result, nine strong men above the elite steel level came to the action party, which exceeded the demand of eight strongholds.

In addition, Marquis Raeven also sent his hidden men, an elite army composed of many retired adventurers, many of whom were once Mithril-level or even Orichalcum-level adventurers.

After a large number of people gathered, the captain of Cang Qiangwei, Lagis, stood on the platform and explained the content of this operation to everyone.

The numerous personnel were divided into eight groups, and each received their own combat objectives.

"Your Excellency the Silver Spear..."

As the pleasant voice came, the fully armed Laqisi walked slowly over, looked at Deng Yougang beside Bai Lang and asked softly: "Are you sure you want to act alone?"

"Um."

Deng Yougang carried the silver spear and said calmly: "I don't like cooperating with strangers."

Lagis opened her mouth and wanted to persuade him, but when she saw Deng Yougang's eyes, she hesitated and turned away.

Bai Lang put his arm around Deng Yougang's shoulders, glanced at Laqisi's back and said with a smile: "Tell me the truth, it shouldn't be just this reason, right?"

"Of course not." Deng Yougang glanced at Bai Lang and said, "If you look at the 'Strategy', you will know that the main character, Bone King's men, will appear at the stronghold I'm going to. I might have to fight with them at that time. If innocent soldiers are affected, that would be bad..."

"So that's how it is..."

Bai Lang nodded thoughtfully, and then asked with great interest: "What about where I'm going?"

Deng Yougang rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Look for yourself!"

Bai Lang pouted and said, "No! I can barely accept other people's spoilers, but I can't watch it myself..."

“You’re being hypocritical.” Deng Yougang complained, then shook his head. “No, you won’t meet the protagonists at the base you’re going to. If you really want to, I suggest you talk to Lagis about transferring to Clem’s team.”

“Climb…”

Bai Lang turned to look at the young man in fine steel alloy armor and said with a smile: "This guy really looks like the kind of upright protagonist. You can meet important characters with names on their heads wherever you go."

"It's a pity that this world is not a normal world..."

While the two were talking, Irubiai, a magic chanter wearing a mask and a red robe, appeared behind them and said calmly, "I've been wanting to ask you since this day, what language are you speaking? Why have I never heard of it before?"

Bai Lang and Deng Yougang had already noticed her presence.

I wasn't surprised to hear these sudden words.

Bai Lang turned around and said seriously: "This is the language of God, children can't understand it."

“…”

The corners of Irubiai's mouth twitched slightly under the mask. He clenched his fists, then let go, snorted, and turned away.

Bai Lang said with a click of his tongue: "You are not young, but your mentality is like that of a child."

Deng Yougang glanced at him in surprise, and his eyes seemed to say, are you qualified to talk about others?

Soon after, many people divided into eight groups started to move, taking advantage of the cover of the dim night, and quietly moved towards the location of the stronghold recorded on the parchment.

…

…

One of the eight strongholds, the eight-finger profiteering department responsible for selling black powder.

Deng Yougang came to the door of the luxurious mansion alone, carrying a silver spear.

Looking at the silent manor behind the door and dozens of security guards who were only slightly stronger than ants, Deng Yougang couldn't help but sigh.

"…Are you here early?"

"Forget it. They are all scum anyway. It doesn't matter who kills them."

Deng Yougang muttered to himself while pointing the spear in his hand forward.

In an instant, black air leaped out from his body and condensed into figures in the open space around him.

Among them are silver-armored warriors holding spears, the unparalleled demon holding a Fang Tian Huaji, an elderly swordsman in a white shirt, a middle-aged general with a solemn face and a calm temperament, and so on.

In total, there are eight Chinese heroes who have left their names in history.

After they showed up, Deng Yougang said with a smile: "Brothers, I'm going to trouble you to help eliminate the thieves again. The mansion ahead is the target. Except for the leader in the mansion, everyone else is left to you!"

Lu Bu carried the Fang Tian Hua Ji on his shoulder and grinned, "No one will be left alive?"

Deng Yougang nodded nonchalantly: "Leave no one alive."

The young general in silver armor frowned, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Can someone tell me the reason?"

Deng Yougang glanced at him and said softly, "Selling drugs, buying and selling people, forcing women into prostitution, are these enough, General Yang?"

Yang Zaixing's face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "That's enough, I will make them regret coming into this world!"

The swordsman in white sighed and silently drew the long sword from his waist.

Lu Bu glanced at the swordsman, chuckled and said, "Master Wang, I didn't expect you to choose to follow Brother Deng!"

"Back then, you and I had a fight in Luoyang. I won the fight on horseback, and you won the fight on foot, so it was a draw."

"This time we finally have the chance to fight the enemy together. Do you want to fight again after the battle?"

Wang Yue looked at Lu Bu quietly, and suddenly a sharp sword intent burst out from his body. He looked at Lu Bu with a sharp gaze and said, "That is what I wish for, but I dare not ask for it!"
