Ye Li tiptoed to the back of the wooden shed, and suddenly his speed burst out. He jumped from the back of the wooden shed to the front of it in a single leap. The other side's sentry was so startled by Ye Li's sudden appearance that he almost jumped up.
Before the other party could even shout, Ye Li moved as fast as lightning and slashed the other party's neck with his knife.
There was only a slight crisp sound, and the opponent's entire throat and cervical vertebrae were completely shattered in Ye Li's hands.
Without a word, the sentry fell to the ground and there was no more movement.
Ye Li did not hold back this time. After all, the two sides were in a hostile relationship. If he chose to hold back, the other side might take the lives of the special forces soldiers in the battle later.
This kind of accident is not allowed to happen, so Ye Li attacked without mercy and killed the opponent directly.
After taking out a sentry post, Ye Li hid in the sentry post for a while, then dragged the enemy's body into the shed.
After feeling that his actions did not alarm others, Ye Li quickly left the wooden shed and walked along the original path to the outside of the trap area.
What he had to do next was to search all possible outposts nearby and eliminate the people inside one by one.
Only after these people are dealt with can the large number of special forces soldiers climb up, otherwise the enemy will definitely be alerted in advance.
After practicing at the first outpost, Ye Li roughly figured out the details of the enemy's outpost, and the subsequent sneak attacks became easier and easier.
There were about eighteen sentry points on the entire cliff. In less than half an hour, Ye Li eliminated them one by one, and there was basically no noise during the period.
Ye Li was like an invisible assassin who could easily get behind the enemy and kill him with one blow.
After dealing with all the sentry points, Ye Li tiptoed up the cliff and stuck his head down.
Although Wesley and others could not see Ye Li's appearance clearly, some of them had flying monsters, so they quickly recognized Ye Li's identity.
The birds that recognized Ye Li's identity quickly flew back to their owners, which confirmed Ye Li's identity.
Wesley and the others immediately realized that Ye Li had already dealt with the sentry point on the top of the mountain, so they carefully emerged from the woods and moved closer to the bottom of the cliff. Without any delay, Wesley and the others began to quickly climb up the cliff, and their beast-like monsters, those that were good at climbing, also climbed up the cliff, while those that were not good at climbing found a place to wait for their master.
These people moved much slower than Ye Li. It took them nearly an hour to climb to the top of the cliff.
After everyone gathered on the top of the cliff, Wesley and others gave Ye Li a thumbs up.
"Ye Li, you are really amazing. It has only been a short time and you have cleared all the sentinels."
Wesley murmured in praise.
Ye Li smiled and nodded, "The sentry points have been taken care of. Should we send out a signal directly and then cooperate with the people down the mountain to attack together, or should we find out the situation first?"
Wesley glanced at Wilson and signaled him to make arrangements.
Wilson thought for a moment and said, "Let's first investigate the situation and see how the other side's personnel are distributed. Then we will launch a sneak attack and send out a signal at the same time so that the people below can cooperate and attack at the same time.
This way, we can at least take advantage of a surprise attack and maybe kill quite a few of the enemy."
His suggestion was approved by Wesley, and then everyone started crawling again and began to grope towards the middle of the hill.
Soon, they arrived at the middle of the hill. The other party had indeed built a small camp on the top of the hill, but it looked empty and there didn't seem to be anyone inside.
Wesley said, "It seems that these guys have already built their fortifications, and they are probably hiding in them now."
After Wesley finished speaking, he looked at a mercenary expert next to him and said, "Joseph, do you know the location of the fortifications you built before
I don't think they will rebuild their defenses, but will continue to build on the fortifications you built before."
Joseph nodded and said, "I know the location of the fortifications. They should be hiding there now."
After saying that, Joseph walked out first, and the others bypassed the camp and ran towards the front of the mountain.
Soon, three huge "turtle shells" appeared in front of everyone.
The "turtle shell" is actually three small fortresses, made entirely of stone and metal, with many patterns engraved on it. Ye Li can tell at a glance that these should be rune formations.
However, in the Continent of Miracles, there is no such thing as rune formation, but it is called divine pattern formation.
Obviously, these three fortresses are engraved with defensive divine runes. In other words, the enemy's people can hide in these three fortresses, completely abandon defense, and use long-range means to attack, completely suppressing the enemies who feel like rushing towards the mountain road.
If the Vulture Mercenaries want to rush up the mountain road, they will have to suffer at least five times more casualties. Such a loss is simply too great.
But the situation is different now. A group of special forces members, plus fifty good mercenaries, are staring at the rear of the fortress with a covetous eye.
As long as the fortress has not activated the rune formation, they will attack the fortress by surprise. The fortress will be unable to withstand the attack of the crowd relying solely on its metal and stone structure.
A group of about eighty people were divided into three groups, each standing behind a fortress. The people inside did not notice their arrival. After all, they never thought that someone could completely eliminate the sentry post without using any spiritual energy or talismans.
Wesley stood in the middle fortress, looked at the people in the other two fortresses, suddenly raised his hand to send a signal, and the three groups of people launched the attack spell at the same time.
Ye Li attacked with two Golden Sun Fingers, and a beam of light penetrated directly into a rune node at the back of the fortress. Several screams were heard from inside, and it seemed that someone was hit by the beam of light.
The rune formation whose node was hit was naturally broken. Even if the people inside wanted to activate the formation defense again, they could not do it at all.
Nodes are more important than ordinary rune lines. They are equivalent to the hub of power. Once they are destroyed, the formation will immediately become ineffective.
Ye Li is a weaponsmith after all, and his understanding of formations is much better than everyone else. Even though these divine pattern formations are completely different from rune formations, their theoretical basis is still the same, and they all work by leveraging a specific flow of power.
