The Farsight Mercenary Corps' search for the Elf Envoys and the ensuing battle had all been witnessed by Yan Xing, who had already infiltrated the nearby area.

Through drone reconnaissance, he could tell that the Farsight Mercenary Corps was being very cautious. To ensure nothing went wrong, they had set up three layers of encirclement in this not-so-large area. This was to prevent people inside from breaking out and to stop outsiders from getting in.

Li Jiya squatted beside Yan Xing, anxiously observing the residential area ahead. Fifteen of her covert agents were also lurking nearby, belonging to an infiltration group under her command.

"Lord Terence, when do we rush in?"

"Wait a little longer," Yan Xing replied.

The area was sizable and swarming with Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries and Rose Court secret agents. The alchemical golems could not set up an electromagnetic field without being detected. Without the electromagnetic field, Yan Xing didn't dare to act recklessly.

After consoling Li Jiya, Yan Xing turned to Chui Chui and asked, "Can you find a route for us to sneak in, quietly extract the person, and get out undetected?"

Chui Chui analyzed the reconnaissance data and answered with difficulty, "Master... The unmanned aerial vehicles can only detect those exposed outside; they cannot see individuals hidden by buildings. Even with micro-drones, it is quite challenging to identify a safe access route."

"Then find a point where the guards are relatively weak."

"Yes, Master."

While Chui Chui was devising the infiltration route, Yan Xing turned to Li Jiya and asked, "Do you know where your Elf friends are hiding?"

Li Jiya replied, "I don't know… He must have moved to several different hiding spots under our people's protection."

"That means, even if we break in, we'll have to search for them aimlessly."

Li Jiya said, "As long as we can get in, I can find them through the covert signals they've left behind."

"You might also lead the Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries to them."

Li Jiya was somewhat at a loss for words at Yan Xing's remark. She asked, "What should we do then? If we delay any longer, the Elves will be found by the Farsight Mercenary Corps."

After seeing the infiltration route Chui Chui had devised, Yan Xing said to Li Jiya, "I have a plan. As long as you all follow my instructions, I can ensure the safety of your Elf friends."

Li Jiya answered, "Okay, we will do as you say."

Yan Xing shared his plan with Li Jiya, then took the lead by jumping off the rooftop and using the shadows to move forward stealthily. Li Jiya used covert communication to notify her subordinates and then followed Yan Xing. The covert agents cautiously trailed behind them.

An unmanned aerial vehicle overhead opened its belly, releasing over ten micro-drones. These micro-drones flew ahead of Yan Xing, darting through rooms and relaying information on every person they discovered back to Chui Chui's database. Then, Chui Chui directed the micro-drones to monitor the targets, relaying their positions to Yan Xing.

Yan Xing moved with the lightest steps, sticking to the wall corners. Upon reaching a specific spot, he vaulted through an open window into an adjacent room. Li Jiya cautiously observed her surroundings before climbing through the same window.

Upon entering, they saw two people lying on the floor. Yan Xing sheathed his Short Sword and, pointing at the two corpses, said to Li Jiya, "Have your people come in, put on these two sets of clothes, and then stand guard here."

Li Jiya had no idea how Yan Xing knew Farsight Mercenary Corps members were in this room, nor did she understand how he had silently eliminated them. Regardless, she was to follow his lead for this operation.

Li Jiya signaled her subordinates to enter using covert signs. She then selected two covert agents with similar body types to the corpses, who changed into the Farsight Mercenary Corps uniforms. The Farsight Mercenary Corps' uniforms were all of a consistent style and color. After the two covert agents changed, they remained stationed in the house.

Yan Xing opened the door, walked out, leaped onto the rooftop, and moved forward hunched along the ridge. Li Jiya continued to follow. Soon, she saw two more bodies at Yan Xing's feet.

"Tell your people to change clothes quickly. We must be ready before the Farsight Mercenary Corps discovers the Elves."

Not far away, a fierce battle had erupted, with many Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries rushing to provide support. Yan Xing's plan had to be executed before the Elves were discovered, so they had to speed up their preparations. After saying this, Yan Xing didn't wait for Li Jiya and moved to the next location.

With micro-drone surveillance assisting him, Yan Xing could easily find nearby Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries and attack and kill them while they were completely off guard. The entire process was silent. Yan Xing chose to eliminate mercenaries one or two at a time, reducing his chances of exposure while gathering more Farsight Mercenary Corps uniforms.

Li Jiya followed Yan Xing, marveling inwardly at his silent killing technique. There wasn't even any trace of Magic fluctuations. Moreover, his killing speed was astonishing. By the time she arrived, she only saw fallen corpses, as if the Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries had simply stood there waiting for him to kill them. All she could do was urge her subordinates to quickly change into the Farsight Mercenary Corps uniforms.

Yan Xing led Li Jiya and her subordinates, easily breaking through the first encirclement, and then the second. The disguised operatives remained in place, waiting to execute the plan.

Yan Xing entered the third encirclement. This one was the smallest, and the Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries were more densely packed, including many powerful heroes. It was specifically prepared to hunt and kill the Elf Envoys. Here, Yan Xing found it difficult to find suitable assassination targets. Even with the micro-drones' assistance, Yan Xing risked being discovered at any moment by the Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries controlling the area.

By this time, thirteen of Li Jiya's fifteen subordinates had donned Farsight Mercenary Corps uniforms.

It's almost time... Delay could lead to complications.

Yan Xing pulled out an alchemical bow stave, shook it lightly, and it snapped into a hunting bow. This was an alchemical bow commonly used by Elf heroes. Yan Xing had seen one in Arlanda's hands and, finding it interesting, had bought one from the Goblin Gaga. He hadn't expected it to come into use this time.

He drew the bowstring, and a Magic arrow formed. Infusing it with lightning energy, the Magic arrow became a Lightning Arrow. With Chui Chui's targeting assistance, Yan Xing shot an arrow at a Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenary standing on the eaves. At close range, the mercenary had no time to react and was pierced through the chest by the Lightning Arrow. The body toppled over.

Yan Xing's attack was the signal to act. Li Jiya and the other two operatives immediately drew their weapons, unleashing Magic and combat skills to attack the nearby Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries. After killing five or six mercenaries, Yan Xing led the three of them onto the rooftops, and they sprinted towards the outer perimeter.

Along the way, "Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries" emerged from various locations to block their path, shouting loudly, "Elves! Yes, Elves... There are four Elves!"

In the darkness, the actual Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries couldn't clearly see if the four fleeing individuals were Elves, but they assumed their comrades positioned ahead had a clear view.

Thus, more people shouted, "Four Elves spotted!"

More Farsight Mercenary Corps mercenaries gave chase.
