Da, da!

The scout hurried back to the temple convoy, and without reining in the reins, the knight jumped off his horse and ran toward Edson's carriage in the convoy.

"High Priest, we're being targeted!"

"The other party has more than 500 people, it should be the bandits of the Smarco Hills!"

As soon as he got into the carriage, the knight said.

"Just a bandit?"

"Are there any other bandits?"

Edson put down the map in his hand and asked with an unchanged expression.

In choosing to head north, the old priest anticipated what he would encounter in the Smako hills.

Bandits!

Like locusts, they slay the unclean bandits.

In fact, apart from the monster chasers behind him, these bandits were the other obstacle that the old priest was most worried about.

And when the monster chasers behind them were stopped by Ryan at Aya's outpost, these bandits became the only obstacle to their northward journey.

Therefore, the old priest had already begun to think about how to deal with these bandits.

In the face of a group of bandits who are not clean and familiar with the environment, the number will be their disadvantage, even if they gather all the knights, they will not be able to stop the endless enemy, but their advantage is also extremely obvious, excellent equipment, skilled combat skills are not available to the other party.

If you fight head-on, even the numerical disadvantage can be quickly erased, but if you step into the trap, it will be a nightmare.

Therefore, the old priest was extremely careful.

"Not yet."

The knight replied.

"Send more scouts, I need the most detailed information."

"It's just in front of us, and we have to reconnoiter on the left, 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 be able to pass through the Smako Hills safely and quickly.

Otherwise, he would have wasted Ryan's hold on to the Aya outpost.

As for the peaceful way?

After learning about the past deeds of these bandits, the old priest wisely chose to give up.

"Understood!"

The knight quickly jumped out of the carriage, mounted his horse again, and left.

The knight will be accompanied by two teams of more than 30 scouts in the convoy, who will scout the surroundings in detail.

And before the details returned, the whole convoy found a hillside and began to set up camp.

"Patrolmen and sentries are in their positions."

"The commoners helped the deacons construct a simple defensive offensive."

Placing his beloved melodica in a buckskin pocket around his waist, Kemp quickly stood in the middle of the group, and after a secret technique, his voice was heard throughout the audience.

For the priests of the Temple of Music, it was essential for people to hear their own music, no matter how good or bad they played.

And sound is the key.

Under the orders of the old priest, Kemp, the flame of the Temple of Music, naturally became the best herald.

When a normal person sees the other party's thin and not tall body, it is difficult to imagine that the other party's voice will be so loud, and this loud voice also makes the other party's ordinary face become unusual.

Tough and simple, like a knight, but with the elegance and scholarly temperament that a knight does not have.

Even if you are anxious at the bottom of your heart, such a temperament and a mature enough appearance are enough to stabilize people's hearts.

At least, after seeing the other party, because the scouts were out in all directions, and the somewhat flustered convoy quickly calmed down, and everything became orderly.

After inspecting the makeshift camp again, Camp walked briskly towards the old priest's carriage.

Lilith of the Temple of Love was already waiting there.

"High Priest Edson."

Both of them saluted the old priest at the same time.

The old priest smiled and waved his hand, motioning for the two to sit beside them.

"This is the most difficult time we have ever faced."

"And, unlike before when we could rely on Ryan and Erin, this time we can only rely on ourselves."

"We're dealing with a pack of jackals."

"We can't show any weakness in front of them."

"Because, that will make us swallow faster!"

The old priest said with a serious face.

"Hmm."

"We will not compromise!"

Kemp nodded earnestly.

Lilith looked at the map, and when she saw the narrow valley of West, the girl's brows furrowed tightly, even if the Temple of Love did not have training in the war course, but the girl could see that this should be the key point.

"I'm worried about this."

Lilith said bluntly.

For the two people in front of her, she had nothing to hide.

Both are people you can trust.

"That's right, I'm worried about it too."

"The Valley of Wees is so long and narrow that anyone who passes through it will be wiped out if there are people on either side - and to make matters worse, the bandits have garrisons on it all year round, which is why the lords of the Yote Plains have repeatedly failed to clear them."

"Therefore, we have only one way left: to settle the battle outside!"

The old priest pointed to the map in his hand.

"Lure them out?"

Camp was quick to respond.

"I have an idea......"

The old priest lowered his voice.

Kemp and Lilith listened carefully.

After a moment, both of them looked approving.

"If we can do that, we will definitely be able to pass without a hitch!"

A smile welled up 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 party's face.

This is not common for temple knights.

Unless......

They really encountered the unthinkable of the temple.

"What happened?"

The old priest asked quickly.

"Dead!"

"Those bandits are dead!"

The knight replied truthfully.

And just after the knight finished speaking, the wave of knights who had just left also rushed back, and they all said with the same panicked faces.

"High Priest, we found more than 1,000 corpses on the left!"

"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 simply didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"Broaden your search."

"I want more detailed information!"

The old priest, Kemp, and Lilith looked at each other and gave another order.

Immediately, more scouts set off.

……

In front of the Weiss Valley, two mountain-like Jingguan towered up, reaching into the sky.

The thick smell of blood permeated the valley, and even a gale could not blow it away.

A team of thousands of people, wrapped in black, with only their eyes exposed, stood silent, motionless like statues.

At the front of the team, Myrzer rode his war horse with his eyes closed and a grim face.

At this moment, Mileser has long lost the breath of a little thief, and his whole body is filled with the aura of killing and blood, sitting on a war horse, like a man-eating Shura.

The next moment, he opened his eyes, and the scorching light almost obscured the sunlight in front of him.

"Your Excellency needs us!"

"Let's go!"

At the sound of an order, the entire silent black team, like a machine, acted swiftly and ruthlessly.

From above, it looks like a covered dark cloud heading south.
