According to the village intelligence, a large group of bandits was stationed on the temple of Hanluo.

Before the Imperial army was stationed in Helgen, the bandits often rushed down the hill and plundered the surrounding villages and passing merchants. The local villagers spontaneously organized several encirclement and suppression, and even Xueman sent troops to help, but unfortunately with little effect.

When the news of the Imperial Legion stationing arrived, the bandits, like the other outlaws in the surrounding area, were afraid of the great strength of the Imperial Legion and no longer dared to go down the mountain to rob the common people. It's just that the merchants and passers-by who chose to try to cross the path of the cold mountain peaks in order to hurry or save some money were treated more harshly by these robbers.

Now, Helgen has been completely destroyed, along with the Imperial legions stationed there. It won't be long before the robbers who got the news will be making trouble in the village in droves.

No wonder the adults of the stream would so earnestly plead with them to clear the bandits of that mountain.

Bernardo didn't mind that. If it's easy.

His target is Avel, the notorious thief. His beloved "Chill Crack" was accidentally stolen when it was stored, and the perpetrator was this guy.

"It's fine if he obediently hands over the crack, but if he lies......" Bernardo's eyes became dangerous.

The road to the top of the mountain is long and winding, with the occasional sight of a few hungry wolves on the side of the road. Hungry and with a fierce glint in their eyes, they howled and pounced on Bernardó despite the warning flames that had lit up.

For solo travelers, bards, and merchants, this may have been a threat. But in the face of a good magic swordsman, their sharp minions are so weak and weak. They didn't even manage to leave a few scratches on the boy's robes.

The snow wolves here have not eaten for a long time, their bodies are thin, and their fur has shrunk a lot, so they have no value for taking materials.

This relaxed atmosphere lasted until there was a hole outside the gate of the temple at the top of the mountain.

"It's a bit of a guard......" Hiding from the cold wind in the cave, Bernardo drank a pale golden liquid that he had with him - a vision-enhancing potion made from the saber-toothed tiger's eye, which greatly enhanced the user's farsightedness.

In the distance, more than a dozen robbers are patrolling in pairs and threes, wearing leather armor that protects against the cold and protection.

The mountain road is covered by heavy snow, and few people choose to cross it at this time. But even so, the boss told them to keep their eyes peeled and keep an eye on every move around the temple at any time.

Because of the risk of such a cold wind raging, and the deterrent power of the Imperial Legion, the gang of bandits had not descended the mountain for months.

And judging from the recent results of the famous thief Javier, a good friend of the leaders next to them, it is obvious that the leaders have obtained something from this batch of goods, and these days, several leaders will lead their men into the depths of the temple from time to time.

I don't know if it was because of their casual exploration, but the outer temple of the temple, which was originally extremely safe and stable, and was even used as a lair by the robbers, became dangerous after several leaders led people into the depths of the temple for the first time. Countless ancient traps have been reactivated, flame traps, lightning runes, and stinger walls, which have caused the bandits of the outer temple who have been in a leisurely state to lose a lot of people. They had to retreat outside the temple, outside the rooms of the stronghold, which they had long since abandoned and had been destroyed by heavy snow.

"There it is." After observing for a long time, Bernardo finally found a hole in his defense.

It was near a gathering point near the eastern slope of the temple.

————————————————————————————————

At the heart of the gathering is a watchtower, the cement of the exterior wall has peeled off a lot, revealing huge cracks. The people who went up to guard often complained about whether the broken tower would suddenly collapse at some point.

Therefore, in general, only robbers who have made mistakes will be punished as sentries here. If they perceive a possible threat, they ring the big old bell.

In addition to the sentries, there were only four people under the tower. The two great swordsmen were bored and leaned against the corner of the broken wall, struggling to resist the cold wind. An archer with a terrible scar on his left eye looked around sharply.

As Bernardo approached, he saw more clearly the style of the leather armor they were wearing. It is extremely cold-resistant, but the protection can only be said to be ordinary wolf skin armor.

A godsend.

For Bernardo, if it were to be fought in an arena with perfect conditions, he was confident that he could kill these five men in a second. Unless one of them knows how to do a simple enchantment, it might take an extra second to crack.

However, the enemy he may face is not just these five minions, but nearly a hundred heavily armed bandits on the entire mountain.

In the present situation, these robbers are even more difficult to deal with than the regular soldiers.

Therefore, it is not possible to use magic to kill them, because this distance is too far away, and if you want to do so, you will have to use lightning magic that is very penetrating but has a lot of movement.

You can't find a way to collapse the watchtower, which will attract the attention of others and maybe even cause an avalanche.

"Come on......" Bernardo whispered, he had already thought of a good plan.

He stared at the only archer who looked wary. Bernardo picked up a stone, wrapped it in a ball of snow, and threw it at the other side—

"What's that!" As expected, the archer cried out loudly, an iron arrow already on the string of the oak longbow in his hand, "Who's there!" If you don't come out, you will release the arrows! ”

No response. Only the stunned expressions of their companions and the still raging cold wind remained.

"Forget it, shoot an arrow first." After a moment's hesitation, he finally chose an insurance act.

With a whoosh, a sharp arrow landed at the stone Bernardo had thrown.

The robbers winked at each other, and one of the more nimble robbers threw his sword to his companion, drew the dagger at his waist, and cautiously went over to inspect it.

When he arrived at his target, his doubts and panic disappeared in an instant, replaced by a relaxed and casual one. He turned his head: "It's just a stone blown by the wind...... Head ......"

Looking at where his companions were, he was speechless.

Because, the few people who were still complaining about the long rotation time with themselves just now are all lying motionless on the ground at the moment, and the bright red blood stains are clearly visible on the ground that has been dyed pure white by the blizzard.

"Don't scream......" In his ears, a soft murmur suddenly sounded that made his hair stand on end. He hurriedly tried to turn around, trying to see who was whispering in his ear—

When his body was crooked, the world in his eyes suddenly turned sideways.

Soon, he didn't know anything.
