Lying on the dew-stained grass, the sweet smell of weeds filled Locke's nostrils.

By the glow of the great white lady in the sky, Locke and the others could see the edge of the huge lake not far in front of them, where some had set up a humble camp.

The number of people in the camp may have been a little different from what Tawad said, but it was definitely more than thirty. Some people were in and out of the camp, others stood guard around the camp, watching their surroundings vigilantly. Since it was night, it was not clear whether those who were on guard duty were wearing armor or not.

It may be that when Tawad and the others descended the mountain to ask for help, the group of Twilighthammer lunatics had reinforcements.

"They may not have found the entrance to the tomb of Tyre," Locke asked Tawad as he turned back, "did they chase you when you left here?" ”

"Actually, my lord." Tawad crouched on the grass, lowered his body and said carefully, "They weren't aware of our presence, we discovered them first. We caught their men guarding outside and asked for their whereabouts. So, we went down the mountain to look for reinforcements. ”

"You may have been exposed." Locke responded, "There's one less person for them, and it's impossible not to look for and ask." ”

"Hey," Gaffold laughed a few times, and explained to Locke, "it's not just us Tyr Guards on this mountain, we have brown bears among our neighbors!" ”

"We knocked the guy unconscious and dragged him all the way to the brown bear's den. If they follow our camouflaged trails, they will only find the man's bones and bones in the bear's den. ”

Locke was relieved to hear the Tyr guards say this. After all, it was a game of death, and he hadn't taken such a risk in years.

"Wait, see what my guards have to say when they come back."

It is not known how many people there are here, but the purpose of Locke's action this time is not to let the news of this place leak out, so it is undoubtedly the safest thing to kill everyone here. Therefore, it is very necessary to send their own detective guards to collect the information of the sentry posts in this camp, and the specific number of people is very necessary.

Everyone hid themselves carefully, silently watching the huge campfire in the middle of the camp to see it emit a strange blue-white fire.

"Something is wrong!" Demytia to Locke's left suddenly spoke, and Locke turned her head to look at it, and she pointed to the campfire and said, "That campfire, that's a necessary step for spiritualism, and among them are psychics." Probably in the tents below, they may have summoned the man's soul back from the bear's den, asking what was going on here. ”

Demytia's words made the two old guards next to Locke quite nervous, and they asked Locke's opinion if they should attack it now, and they were caught off guard, and after weighing it for a while, Locke refused.

When the information is incomplete, it is very dangerous to attack rashly.

He's very self-conscious now.

It didn't take long for the three Tyr guards who were scouting around and the five iron guards who had been sent out by Loxa to rush back. It's just that the news brought by the Iron Guard doesn't make Locke optimistic.

"My lord, on the way to scout, I came across several enemy outposts. The enemy's camp may seem to have a few men to defend against, but they may be luring us into attacking! ”

Sure enough, Demytia's discovery was timely. It seems that the group of madmen has summoned that person's soul. That's a bit harder...

Locke thought for a moment, as if he wanted to kill these people, with their people here. Either harden it, or pull out the sentry posts one by one, or send a large army to surround this place. It is unclear if any of those people have contacted Twilight's Hammer, but regardless of whether they are contacted or not, they need to be disposed of as soon as possible.

"Ral," Locke looked at the captain of his guard, "what do you think should be done at the moment?" ”

"Logistics officer!" The captain of the guard barely hesitated, and he called out to one of the guards in the group. A slightly emaciated sergeant came running quickly.

"Take out the leather armor and replace the plate armor on your body!"

No one hesitated, and under the captain's order, the logistics officer hurriedly took out the leather armor in the magic bag one by one. The other dozen or so guards quickly removed the plate armor on their bodies piece by piece and placed them lightly on the ground.

Leather armor painted red replaced the plate armor, and the guards moved their bodies, without the slightest sound of armor rubbing around. Shields and swords were laid on the grass and covered with weeds. More than a dozen iron guards took more than a dozen daggers handed out by the logistics officer, secretly lowered their bodies and touched them to the sides of the camp.

"Your Excellency, you wait here." Ral lowered his voice and said to Locke, "It's not a difficult task for us, it's just some sentry. In about half an hour, there will be no enemies on the periphery of this camp! ”

The subordinates confidently played the package ticket, and Locke naturally had no problems. It's just that the Tyre guards are not happy, and the only female guard, Evrina, said with some dissatisfaction, "What about us?" We are the guards of Tyre! ”

"Protect our lords and serve as our reserves." Ral chuckled and didn't wait for the female guard to answer, then leaned down and burrowed into the half-human-tall weed.

Naturally, the young guards were dissatisfied, but Locke saw that Tawad only shook his head, and the men did not say anything more.

Locke was not sighted by the struggle, and he and the others could only lie on their stomachs in the grass, hearing the cries of nightingales and nighthawks, which rang out around the camp from time to time. In the middle of this, a man in a dark robe came out of the camp, very annoyed by the chirping of the bird. He yelled a few times at the defenders of the surrounding camp, and some men armed with shields and swords stepped out towards the location where the sound of birds chirping was coming from....

After the man in the robe returned to the big tent in the middle of the camp, and the camp guards descended into the woodland. Nighthawk's machine-gun-like cry rang out for a few moments, then abruptly stopped.

About five minutes later, a soaking iron guard with the smell of potion touched him. "My lord, Captain Lal asked me to bring you here."

Following the path led by the guards, Evelena was careful not to make a noise from her chain mail as she examined the dead men who had fallen to the ground along the way. Some of them had their necks broken, some had their throats cut with their mouths covered, and some had a hole cut in their chest. To her surprise, however, there were no signs of struggle in these places of battle, and there was no pungent smell of blood after an ordinary battle.

A faint floral scent filled the murder scene, masking the smell of blood.

"How is this done?"

"Is there an uncrowned one among them?"

"Impossible, how can there be such a person around a king?"

The whispers of a few young Tyre guards who walked in front of Locke made Locke very proud. Most of his guards were veteran non-commissioned officers in the army, and some of them were self-awakened to the Light energy. At the beginning of the selection of the Scarlet Iron Guard, they were all pulled by Noorris to the Secret Service Academy for a period of training.

Of course, Locke doesn't know the specific subjects of training, but if they can appear by their side to protect themselves, that ability must be the absolute best in their army!

The route lasted more than five minutes, and although Locke did not understand why he did not take a shortcut, there must have been a reason for the choice of the guards. When the group came to the other side of the camp, the scene here was not very pretty.

Although the fragrance of flowers at the scene was very strong, among the corpses on the ground, the smell of blood still stubbornly broke through the barrier and drilled into everyone's nose.

Twelve guards had already changed into dead man's clothes and brand new armor, and they seemed ready to enter completely.

"We asked about some of the defenses, and the situation was not very promising. Your Excellency," Ral looked at Locke with a serious expression, "we're going to get in first, they're about to start changing guards, and the people who came out on patrol just now must also go back to camp." So, we're going to preemptively dismantle their internal defenses. ”

"But there may be supernatural powers in the camp, and this requires the help of you and the great sages of Demethia!"

"Here you are the Commander now!" Locke affirmed, "What needs to be done, you command!" ”

"Brothers of the Tyre Guard. We need you to keep us safe at all times," Ral looked at Tawad solemnly, "If we are discovered, we will sacrifice our lives if necessary!" ”

"We thank you for your heroic actions and help us, and please rest assured that Lord Harvey's safety is on us!" The white-haired Tawad replied affirmatively, "I swear in the name of the Tyr Guard!" ”

It's not a military system, and they don't know each other well enough, which is why the Tyr Guards chose to protect Locke. If you venture to cooperate with the Scarlet Guards, you may only make a mess of things here!

The group carefully avoided the surrounding grass, as if there were traps inside. When they came to the field in front of the camp, the twelve iron guards naturally walked out and greeted the guards at the door.

"Why hasn't the changing of the guard come yet? The lurking Mardu is already impatient! ”

"Well, maybe those idiots are trying to sneak through the Dark Tome again!" The guard on the right said in exasperation, trying to look back at the tent in the camp.

It's just that, while their eyes were attracted by the guards outside, two guards were already lying in ambush behind them. Locke could clearly see them tiptoe behind the two guards, covering their mouths and holding their heads in his arms to stop them from struggling. On the other side, the rest of the guards naturally walked into the camp and strode into the small tents outside the big tent in the middle of the camp.

Without Locke's help, there was no warning of supernatural power in the camp. The two guards at the doorway broke the two struggling Twilight Hammer guards and followed them into the camp.
