Chapter 1460 Arrangement
Da da da!
The scouts quickly returned to the temple convoy. Without tightening the reins, the knight jumped off his horse and ran towards Edson's carriage in the convoy.
"High Priest, we are being targeted!"
"The opponent has more than 500 people. They should be bandits from Simako Hills!"
The knight said immediately after entering the carriage.
"Just a group 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 Simako Hills.
Bandit!
Like locusts, they kill the impure bandits.
In fact, apart from the monsters chasing behind him, these bandits are the other obstacle that the old priest is most worried about.
And when the monster pursuers behind them were blocked by Ryan at Aiya Post, these bandits became the only obstacle to their journey north.
Therefore, the old priest had already begun to think about how to face these bandits.
Facing a group of thieves who are notorious for killing and familiar with the environment, their numbers will be their disadvantage. Even if they gather all the knights, they will not be able to stop the steady stream of enemies. However, their advantages are also extremely obvious. They are well-equipped and skilled. The fighting skills are not possessed by the other party.
As long as they fight head-on, even the numerical disadvantage can be quickly eliminated, but if they step into a trap, it will be a nightmare.
Therefore, the old priest was extremely careful.
"Nothing has been found yet."
the knight answered.
"Send more scouts, I need the most detailed information."
"It's just that we have to investigate in front of us, on our 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 to pass through the Simako Hills safely and quickly.
Otherwise, he would have wasted Ryan's persistence at Aiya Post.
As for choosing a peaceful method?
After learning about the past deeds of these bandits, the old priest wisely chose to give up.
"clear!"
The knight quickly jumped off the carriage, mounted his horse again and left.
Leaving with the knight are two teams of more than 30 scouts in the convoy, who will investigate the surrounding situation in detail.
Before the details came back, the entire convoy found a hillside and started setting up camp.
"Patrols and sentries should all go to their positions."
"Civilians helped the deacons build a simple defensive offensive."
Putting his favorite harmonium into the deerskin pocket on his waist, Kemp quickly stood in the middle of the team. Through a secret technique, his voice spread throughout the audience.
For the priests of the music temple, it is basic for people to hear their music, no matter how good or bad the performance is.
And sound is key.
Under the instructions of the old priest, Kemp, the firebrand 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 difficult to imagine that the other person's voice can be so loud, and this loud voice also makes the other person's ordinary face look unusual.
Tough and simple, like a knight, but with an elegant and scholarly temperament that a knight does not have.
Even if he is anxious at heart, his temperament and mature appearance are enough to stabilize people's hearts.
At least, after seeing each other, the convoy that was a little flustered due to the presence of 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 of them saluted the old priest at the same time.
The old priest smiled and waved his hand, motioning for the two of them to sit next to him.
"This is the most difficult time for us."
"Moreover, unlike before when we could rely on Ryan and Aileen, this time we can only rely on ourselves."
"We're dealing with a pack of jackals."
"We cannot show any weakness in front of them."
"Because that will make us be swallowed up faster!"
The old priest said with a serious face.
"Um."
"We will never compromise!"
Kemp nodded seriously.
Lilith looked at the map. When she saw the narrow Weiss Valley, the girl frowned tightly. Even though the Temple of Love did not have war training courses, the girl could tell that this is where it should be. is the key point.
"I'm worried here."
Lilith said bluntly.
She had nothing to hide from the two people in front of her.
Both of them are trustworthy people.
"Yes, I'm worried about this too."
"The Weiss Valley is too long and narrow. Once there are people guarding both sides, anyone passing through the middle will suffer disaster - and what's worse is that the bandits have personnel stationed there all year round. This is also the case on the Yot Plains. , the reason why the lords repeatedly failed in their purges."
"Therefore, we have only one way left: resolve the battle outside!"
The old priest pointed to the map in his hand.
"Ling them out?"
Kemp responded quickly.
"I have an idea……"
The old priest lowered his voice.
Kemp and Lilith listened carefully.
After a moment, both of them looked in agreement.
"If this is really possible, we will definitely be able to pass it smoothly!"
A smile appeared on Lilith's youthful face.
"Don't be careless. Although my plan will succeed nine times out of ten, but..."
"High Priest! High Priest!"
Before Edson could finish his words, he was interrupted by a slightly panicked voice, and the knight who had left in a hurry returned.
There was still a hint of panic on the other person's face.
This is unusual for temple knights.
unless……
They really encountered the unimaginable in 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 with the same panic.
"High Priest, we found over 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 didn't expect anything like this to happen.
"Expand 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 the aura of real killing and blood. Sitting on his horse, he looked like a man-eating Shura.
The next moment, he opened his eyes, and the scorching light almost covered the sunlight in front of him.
"The adults need us!"
"Set off!"
With an order, the entire silent black team acted alertly and ruthlessly like a machine.
Seen from a high altitude, it looks like a dark cloud heading south.
