Chapter 404: Plans sometimes don't keep up with changes
The welcome party soon began.
Renard and the other team leaders happily went to the feast, but they were cautious and chose to bring their own food. Although they hadn't heard the law of the underworld that Lin Dong, Fawkes, and Griffin had discussed before, they were afraid of being poisoned, so they still brought their own food, and they didn't need to be provided by Cepesh at all.
Tsepes also expressed understanding.
During the feast, Tepes, as a hospitable landlord, introduced the situation of the camp and well-known figures to the leaders one by one.
At the same time, he also introduced the head of the expedition team to his companions, and when he introduced Lin Dong, he also made a special statement that "this is a knowledgeable and respected scholar".
Lin Dong sat for a while, then got up to say goodbye on the grounds of exhaustion.
The expressions of everyone who had a good conversation during the banquet were stunned, we have not officially entered the theme yet!
"I'm tired too!" Fawkes and Kazama followed and stood up and left, and when the griffins saw that Lin Dong was gone, they were afraid that they would be tricked if they stayed, so they hurriedly threw away the food in their hands and rushed up one by one like dogs. Not to mention them, even Big Ivan and Mao Xiong Zhao Da Niu also wanted to leave, but they let Renard and Hugo stop them, just kidding, they all ran out, if you stay there will be something to inform you? Big Ivan couldn't run away by himself, and he was very sacrificial to send back the trumpeter Sergei Aliyev, the seed of the future.
"There are so many of this Mr. Wood's retinue!" Captain Babu, known as the Iron Arm, sighed with emotion.
"Actually, everyone misunderstood, Mr. Wood didn't have a retinue, he came to explore alone, but Fox and the others are his friends!" Philip explained calmly.
"What about the big crowd?" asked Chuck Jr., a big-eyed and skinny Inhuman.
"They are just friends that Mr. Wood knows because we are worried about Mr. Wood's safety. So leave the security guards to them! Along the way, they did a great job. We are very relieved. Thomas was very pointed. Actually, the griffons were members of the Teutonic Order. It has nothing to do with the Eye of God!
"You scholars must be very rare over there, aren't they?" asked another well-known indigenous merchant named Barry.
"There are a lot of scholars, but there is really only one person like Mr. Wood. This is something that the proud Duchess Bloody Mary had to admit.
Tsepeš looked a little crooked.
Stop the conversation quickly.
Toast.
Motioning for everyone to drink.
After a while, the other party could only stare dryly when he spoke his language, and the only communication between the two sides was after the conversation in Latin.
Both the local aborigines and the expedition team are very satisfied, because this one-way communication allows them to communicate freely with their companions between the wine tables, without worrying about telling each other what secrets they have to know.
Tepes at the welcome banquet. There are no anomalies, and the table is very enthusiastic.
Several times he has accumulated a treasure over the years.
Presented to Renard and other leaders.
Renard and Thomas were also polite enough to give back the various items they had brought, such as canned cigarettes, lighters, and other modern items, to the hospitable host. In the camp, since the second day, there has been a craze for 'cigarettes', and no matter whether they are gifted or exchanged with mercenaries for cigarettes, Inhumans and humanoids are all chattering about cigarettes. Of course, the most upscale is the cigar. Only a few people, such as Tsepes and Captain Babu, were given a small amount.
"They talked about the beast tide and the blood core yesterday, and sure enough, they have a more efficient way to absorb the blood core!" Jonathan came to report to Lin Dong according to Philip's secret instructions.
"Did Tsepes give you a hint?" Lin Dong asked with a smile.
"Nope. Jonathan shook his head.
"He's not going to be so anxious. There has to be an opportunity for this kind of thing. For example, if we put our expedition team in danger, we will not be able to retreat. The only way to choose is to choose the path he has designed. Cepes is definitely an extremely intelligent man, and the calmer he appears to be. It proves that the more sure he is!" Fawkes was a master of this, and she didn't think Cepes would say it directly. A fool would do that!
"We're in the camp, there's no danger......" The griffin was a little confused, I just stayed within the high walls, what excuse could you have to move me?
"Beast tide!" said Kazama, and the griffin immediately understood.
This trick is absolutely ruthless.
With the impact of the acanthic beast before, the power of the beast tide has been planted in the hearts of the expedition team.
If this guy can use the time and place to lure a large herd of beasts to besiege the camp, and then death is imminent, and the expedition team uses his method to absorb the blood core energy to improve self-protection, it is almost a sure thing.
Jonathan had actually discussed this with Philip before he came.
But there is no good way.
Because, if it is announced that it will leave the camp, it will be more likely to be besieged by the beast tide in the wild, and no matter how the expedition team goes, it will not be possible to escape the tracking of the black water flying dragon in the sky!
Staying in the camp, there is nothing wrong with it for the time being, but that would be just a chronic suicide.
"When will the people behind you be able to keep up?" Lin Dong asked.
"I don't know. Jonathan was a little worried: "The signal here is not working, the communication equipment is completely ineffective, and the people behind do not know about our trip to the camp, I am afraid that they will go to the third camp according to the original plan." There are too many purgatory, and the chances of them finding them are slim, and even if they do, our combined strength may not be able to compete with the local natives. Master Philip has already confirmed that there are many strong people here, and if we really fight, all of us will work together, and I'm afraid it will only be a miserable victory!"
"I don't think I can win, if you don't talk about it together, it's definitely impossible! Even if you calculate the combat power according to the iron plate, I'm afraid you will also undercount the beast tide power in the other party's hands. I even have reason to suspect that Tsepes can control a part of the beast tide power, whether it is by means of seduction or other means, he must have such a hole card, otherwise, where did he have the courage to break away from the rule and establish a new city under the nose of the city lord? The black water wyvern we met before was 100% his, if it wasn't his. That Blackwater Wyvern's attack would definitely not be that gentle!" Fawkes was suspicious.
"That Blackwater Wyvern is his, and so is the Echinoderm!" Kazama Branch's suspicion was even greater.
"Impossible, isn't it? If the echinoderm was controlled by Tsepesh, wouldn't this wave of attacks be a big loss?
"This is his strategy. You don't understand!" said Kazama, and the griffin immediately crouched down in the corner of the wall to draw circles.
"Not necessarily, but possibly, because he was hiding something when he told us what to do, and it seems that the echinoderm never attacked him. Fawkes shook his head, "However, although there are many doubts, I still think that the echinoderm was only lured by him, not a secret weapon in his hands. If the tumor head echinoderm can be in the hand, then the damage caused at that time. It will be ten times more than the current one, if not more!"
"What about the camp?" Lin Dong changed the subject.
"We think of Tsepeş as an invisible camp owner, who openly and secretly controls the camp. Jonathan said Philip's guess.
"If you don't have enough certainty, you really don't dare to build a new city, but how did he calculate the appearance of our expedition team? I haven't found the answer to this yet! You have been in before, but there is no absolute law, how did Tsepes know that we would appear, and set up a qiē waiting for us on the opposite side of the broken bridge?" Lin Dong thought about this question with his chin propped up.
"Do you suspect that there is an inner ghost among us?" Jonathan thought in addition to this answer. There is no other possibility.
"It could be someone else. Lin Dong smiled: "Have you ever thought about this possibility, all holy places are actually connected......
"If it's connected, and it's not as far away as you think, then the answer is pretty much there!" Fawkes frowned, "Eye of God." The Plantagenet Dynasty, the Knights Templar and the Legion of Eden, who is the inner ghost who cooperates with Cepes?"
"It doesn't matter who it is, what matters is whether we are prepared enough. Meet the next wave of plans. Lin Dong had a little expectation in his eyes: "I estimate that it will only be two or three days, and it will be too long to be impossible." Because we will definitely leave after resting, and if it is too short, we will not have time to fully arrange. Jonathan. Griffin, you should keep a low profile these days, and let each other have more room to move, so that the ghosts inside will be exposed! Also, I need Mr. Philip to show a little interest in the 'array' in the Stone Forest, and see how he reacts! In order to stabilize us, he is very likely to throw something useful, this is our chance!"
"Yes!" Jonathan hurried back to report to Philip.
As for the griffins.
He has a kind of blind trust in Lin Dong, Lord Tianshen asked him to keep a low profile, it seems that he wants to use himself as a secret weapon!
The griffin, who is very yy in his heart, raised his eyebrows at his good friends Don Quixote and Panza with a proud face, which means that I have a special mission, and all of you who are little brothers should come and call me big brother!
Fawkes was speechless, even if you don't need to use your brain here, you can't leave the grass for nothing, right?
Half a day later.
Jonathan is back.
He whispered in Lin Dong's ear, and said a little secret, which Philip had taken out from Captain Barb of the Iron Arm Inhuman, of course, everyone believed that it was under the instruction of Cepes, otherwise this kind of hard-to-find secret would never reach Philip's ears! Lin Dong listened, frowned slightly, his expression was a little dissatisfied, but he nodded again: "Inquire again, this time is just right, you can squeeze a little is a little." I still need more information about the array!"
Jonathan hurried away and went back to consult with Philip.
Another day passed.
Remiga came back once and reported to Lin Dong for about two minutes, after which he could no longer pry anything useful into the mouth of any one in the camp.
Thundered!
After dinner, Lin Dong sensed an extremely slight vibration, coming from afar, getting closer and closer.
It was as if a hundred thousand beasts were charging at us.
In about ten minutes, Fawkes and Kazama also sensed it.
Their first reaction was: "The beast tide, the beast tide that Tsepesh sent to lure has finally arrived!" However, a few minutes later, Big Ivan came back from the high wall of the camp in a rage, and shouted: "What the hell, what do you think we encountered? What kind of army of excavations sent by the city lord of Ezi, the personal guards of hundreds of strong men, thousands of elite soldiers, and countless monsters...... We have to think of a way, or we'll be crushed to the ground by this monster torrent!"
"City Lord's Guard?" Fox was stunned: "Impossible, the script is not right, there shouldn't be a City Lord's Guard at this time!"
"What script?" said Big Ivan, dizzy.
"Let's go see it first!" Lin Dong also felt a little fresh, this play actually played a new trick, and it must be strongly supported!
The high walls of the camp are densely populated with people, both indigenous and members of expedition teams.
All gathered on it.
He looked solemnly at the torrent of monsters outside that had slowed down and was slowly approaching.
Including Cepes, who was next to Philippe, was no exception.
His face sank like water.
His eyes looked straight at a middle-aged man on the other side of the herd of beasts under the high wall...... (To be continued......) R1292
