Everyone came together.
The drawing clearly marked a route from the abandoned tunnels in the suburbs to the interior of the palace.
"This tunnel has been abandoned for many years, and the Kingdom's patrols rarely go there. By sneaking in from here, you can directly bypass the tightest defense line on the outside."
Carla points to a red dot on the drawing.
"This is the exit, near the back garden of the palace."
Happy looked at the busy people, then looked down at his empty paws, with a look of loneliness in his eyes.
It can't even fly in this world, and feels like a complete burden.
Lu Chongwei noticed Happy's emotions.
He walked up to Happy, squatted down, reached out and patted its little head.
"Happy, don't be downcast. You are our eyes and our most important partner. When we infiltrate, we need you to help everyone pay attention to the movements around us."
Happy raised his head, looked at Lu Chongwei's eyes full of trust, and nodded vigorously.
"Love! I will work hard!"
Lu Chongwei stood up, looked around at everyone present, and his tone became serious.
"Now that the plan has been decided, let's fight on two fronts."
"I took Nancy to Royal Capital Plaza to make noise and attract the attention of the guards. The louder the noise, the better. It's best to lure all the captains of Magic War Squad there."
Lu Chongwei pointed at Natsu and Lucy.
"You took Wendy and Happy, and under the guidance of Carla, sneaked into the palace from the secret passage. Remember, your goal is to find the king and let Gemini read the memory. Don't be reluctant to fight."
Natsu protested with some dissatisfaction.
"Brother Zhongwei, why are you creating a riot? I also want to make a big fuss!"
Lu Chongwei glanced at him.
"You can't even breathe out fire now, why are you going to the square to be a living target for others?"
Natsu immediately became silent and retreated dejectedly.
"The operation is scheduled for the latter part of the night. Now, everyone needs to recharge their batteries and restore their physical strength to optimal condition."
Lu Chongwei stretched out his right hand and placed it flat in the air.
Natsu was the first to jump up and put his hand on it.
Lucy, Wendy, Happy, Nancy, Carla, stacked one hand on top of the other.
"For my companions!"
"Oh!"
A low but powerful shout echoed in the room.
In the second half of the night, the entire palace fell into an eerie silence.
Lu Chongwei led Nancy quietly through the dark long street and arrived at the edge of the square in the center of the royal capital.
Nancy clutched the corner of Lu Chongwei's clothes tightly, his little face turned pale with fright, and his body was trembling all the time.
"Lu Chongwei... Do I have to follow you? I'm really scared."
Lu Chongwei glanced at her and spoke calmly.
"Didn't you say you could help me escape? Since you want to follow me, then watch out."
In the square, more than two hundred elite Royal Army soldiers were patrolling neatly, holding magic spears.
Huge magical searchlights swept across the ground from time to time, illuminating the place as bright as day.
"Who! Stop!"
A patrolman spotted Lu Chongwei, quickly raised his spear and yelled to stop.
Lu Chongwei ignored the other party's warning at all.
He stepped forward and walked straight towards the center of the square, his pace was scary steady.
"Warning! Fire if you get any closer!"
There was cruelty in the captain's voice.
Lu Chongwei twitched the corner of his mouth, showing an arrogant sneer.
"Fire? You can try."
More than two hundred soldiers pulled the trigger of Magic Gun in unison.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The dense magic beam swept towards Lu Chongwei like raindrops.
Lu Chongwei held the handle of Ryujin Jakka's knife firmly with his right hand, and did not even draw the knife, but poured domineering magic power into the scabbard.
"Boom--!"
Golden flames erupted from his body without any warning, like an awakened Fire Dragon, swallowing up the flying magic beams in the blink of an eye.
Lu Chongwei's body flashed, turning into a golden afterimage and rushing directly into the formation of soldiers.
Every time he waved the scabbard in his hand, he would bring up a wave of blazing fire.
"Ah!"
"Help!"
The screams quickly became one.
Those originally arrogant soldiers were as fragile as a bunch of chickens and dogs in front of Lu Chongwei.
Lu Chongwei kicked a soldier in the chest, and the powerful impact directly knocked the soldier into the magic supply box at the rear.
"Explode."
Lu Chongwei whispered a word.
"Boom--!!!"
A violent explosion sounded in the center of the square, and a huge fireball rose into the sky, shaking the surrounding building glass Crush.
The fire lit half of the sky red.
The entire king was awakened by the deafening explosion.
"Enemy attack! In the square!"
"Quick! Gather all Magic War Squad and go over there!"
Countless messy footsteps sounded from all directions, and sirens rang through the sky.
At the same time, at the abandoned tunnel entrance on the outskirts of the royal capital.
Natsu Listening to the faint explosion sound in the distance, there was a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.
"Zhongwei brother is taking action over there!"
Natsu clenched his fists and let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's set off too! We can't let Brother Zhongwei work in vain!"
Lucy and Wendy looked at each other and nodded.
The figures of several people quickly disappeared into the dim tunnel, like ghosts, sneaking towards the depths of the palace.
In a dilapidated house not far from the square.
Laxus is sitting by the window, shaking a glass of bitter ale in his hand.
Gajeel was squatting on the beam, chewing an iron bar irritably.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion sounded, causing dust from the roof to fall.
Gajeel stopped, looked in the direction of the square, and grinned.
"This noise... except for that guy Lu Chongwei, no one can make a fuss, right?"
Laxus Put down the wine glass and stood up, the black coat rustling in the wind.
His usually cold face was now filled with rare excitement.
"Let's go. Since that guy has already set up the stage, we can't just watch from the backstage."
"Just what I wanted!"
Gajeel jumped down from the beam, and their figures quickly disappeared into the night.
Thick smoke and the pungent smell of sulfur hovered over the square, and the originally flat bluestone floor was completely devastated.
"Ahem... did that guy die inside?"
A Royal Army soldier held a magic spear and stared at the core area of the explosion.
The flames there have not yet extinguished, and the blazing high temperature has caused the surrounding air to show a deformed ripple.
Before his companion could answer, a black figure broke through the sky filled with fire.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Chongwei The black robe behind him rustled in the wind. His whole figure looked like a ferocious beast rushing out from the depths of hell. He was so fast that only a blurry afterimage could be seen.
