Da da da!
The scouts hurried back to the temple convoy, and without even tightening the reins, the knight jumped off his horse and ran towards Edson's carriage in the convoy. .
"High Priest, we are being targeted!"
"There are more than 500 people on the other side, they should be bandits from Smako Hills!"
After entering the carriage, the knight said immediately.
"Just a bunch of bandits?"
"Are there any other bandits?"
Edson put down the map in his hand and asked with an unchanged expression.
When he chose to go north, the old priest anticipated what he would encounter in the Smakor Hills.
Bandits!
Like locusts, kill unclean bandits.
In fact, apart from the monster chasing soldiers behind him, these bandits were another obstacle that the old priest was most worried about.
And when the monster chasing soldiers behind them were blocked by Ryan at the Aia outpost, these bandits became the only obstacle for them to go north.
Therefore, the old priest had already started thinking about how to face these bandits.
Facing a group of bandits who are not clean and familiar with the environment, the number will be their disadvantage. Even if all the knights are assembled, they cannot stop the continuous stream of enemies, but their advantages are also extremely obvious. They are well-equipped and skilled. The fighting skills are all that the opponent does not have.
As long as they fight head-on, even the numerical disadvantage can be quickly wiped out, but if they step into the trap, it will be a nightmare.
Therefore, the old priest was extremely careful.
"Not found yet."
The knight replied.
"Send more scouts, I need the most detailed information."
"It's just that we have to investigate in front of us, left and right, and behind us."
The old priest strives to be the most stable.
He did not seek to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, but only hoped that he could pass through the Smako Hills safely and quickly.
Otherwise, he would have wasted Ryan's persistence at Aya's outpost.
As for choosing a peaceful way
After learning about the past deeds of these bandits, the old priest wisely chose to give up.
"clear!"
The knight quickly jumped out of the carriage, mounted his horse and left again.
Two teams of more than 30 scouts in the convoy left with the knight, and they will investigate the surrounding situation in detail.
Before the detailed information came back, the whole convoy found a hillside and started camping.
"Patrollers and sentries all go to their positions."
"The civilians help the deacons build a simple defensive offensive."
Putting his most beloved harmonica in the buckskin pocket on his waist, Kemp quickly stood in the middle of the team, and through the secret technique, his voice spread throughout the audience.
For the priests of the music temple, no matter how good or bad the performance is, it is fundamental for people to hear their music.
And the sound is key.
Under the orders of the old priest, Kemp, the tinder of the music temple, naturally became the best messenger.
When a normal person sees the other person's thin and not tall body, it is hard to imagine that the other person's voice can be so loud, and this loud voice also makes the other person's ordinary face become extraordinary.
Tough and simple, like a knight, but with an elegant and scholarly temperament that a knight does not have.
Even if the bottom of my heart is anxious, such a temperament and a sufficiently mature appearance are enough to stabilize people's hearts.
At least, after seeing the other party, the convoy, which was a little flustered because of the scouts, quickly calmed down, and everything became orderly.
After Kemp inspected the temporary camp again, he walked quickly towards the old priest's carriage.
Lilith from the Temple of Love is already waiting there.
"High Priest Edson."
The two saluted the old priest at the same time.
The old priest smiled and waved his hands, motioning for the two to sit beside them.
"This time is the most difficult moment we have encountered."
"Also, unlike before we could rely on Ryan and Irene, this time we can only rely on ourselves."
"We're dealing with a pack of wolves."
"We can't show any weakness in front of them."
"Because that will make us swallowed faster!"
The old priest said with a serious face.
"Um."
"We will never compromise!"
Kemp nodded seriously.
Lilith looked at the map, and when she saw the narrow Weiss Valley, the girl frowned tightly. Even though the Temple of Love didn't have any training in war courses, the girl could tell that it should be here. is the key point.
"I worry about it here."
Lilith said bluntly.
For the two people in front of her, she had nothing to hide.
Both are people who can be trusted.
"That's right, I'm worried about this too."
"The Weiss Valley is too narrow and long. Once someone guards the two sides, anyone who passes through the middle will suffer disaster. What's worse is that those bandits have stationed personnel on it all year round. This is also on the Yote Plain. The reason why they repeatedly failed to suppress them.”
"Therefore, we have only one path left: to settle the battle outside!"
The old priest pointed to the map in his hand.
"Bring them out?"
Kemp reacted quickly.
"I have an idea… "
The old priest lowered his voice.
Kemp and Lilith listened carefully.
After a while, both of them showed expressions of approval.
"If this is really possible, we will definitely be able to pass!"
A smile appeared on Lilith's youthful face.
"Don't be careless, although my plan has a high probability of success, but..."
"High Priest! High Priest!"
Before Edson finished speaking, he was interrupted by a slightly panicked voice, and the knight who had left in a hurry returned.
There was still a trace of panic on the other party's face.
This is not common for the knights of the temple.
unless…
They really met the unimaginable things of the temple.
"what happened?"
The old priest asked quickly.
"died!"
"Those bandits are dead!"
The knight answered truthfully.
And just after the knight finished speaking, the wave of knights who had just left also rushed back one after another, and they all said in the same panic.
"High Priest, we found more than 1,000 corpses on the left side!"
"High Priest, we found at least 1,000 corpses on the right side!"
"High Priest, we found 500 corpses behind us!"
…
The successive reports made the old priest completely stunned.
He never expected such a thing to happen.
"Expand your search."
"I want more detailed information!"
After the old priest, Kemp, and Lilith looked at each other, they gave another order.
Immediately, more scouts set off.
…
In front of the Weiss Valley, two mountain-like Jingguan towered up, straight into the sky.
The strong smell of blood permeates the entire valley, even strong winds cannot blow it away.
A team of thousands of people, all wrapped in black, with only their eyes exposed, stood there quietly, motionless like a statue.
At the front of the team, Melzer rode a horse with his eyes closed and a grim expression on his face.
At this moment, Melzer no longer had the aura of a little thief, and his whole body was filled with a real aura of killing and blood. Sitting on a war horse, he was like a man-eating Shura.
The next moment, he opened his eyes, and the scorching light almost covered the sunlight in front of him.
"My lord needs us!"
"Set off!"
With an order, the entire silent black team acted alertly and ruthlessly like a machine.
Looking from a high altitude, it looks like a dark cloud covering the top and heading south.
