A day later, in front of a seal with a cross carved in the demonic valley, Jamie received a message from the cavalry sent out after praying a prayer.

"Mistress Jamie, we're thirty minutes away at most, and Mistress Werther is about to arrive!"

Instead of immediately responding to the priest who gave the order, Jamie finished his prayer and got up to clean his hands before asking, "Isn't there anything wrong with Werther?" ”

"No, it's just that after many battles with demons, my mental state is not very good."

Jackie, who waved his hand to signal the priest to go down, did not make preparations to greet his old friend, but chose to patrol the Demon Valley on the side.

It's not that Jamie doesn't cherish his affection for old friends and comrades-in-arms, but that there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart before. Jamie, who has a beastly instinct, rarely goes wrong with his instincts. For the safety of himself and his subordinates, Jamie had to face this feeling cautiously and cautiously.

Jamie, who inspected the demon nodule many times and saw that the nodule was working well, turned to check the army's armament.

While Jamie was checking for negligence, Werther, who was a kilometer away from the Demon Valley, dragged his tired body and refused the support of the priest next to him. After taking out the water bladder from his waist and pouring it into his mouth, Werther, who had somewhat recovered his spirits, pressed the Qingming acupoint with his index finger.

Since the third attack, the attacks encountered have been strange everywhere, making Werther think for a long time but still find no traces.

In the previous attacks, the number of raids did not decrease, but increased a lot. However, compared to the previous three times, it is simply not like a one-person arrangement. If the first three attacks are classified as a classic level, then the level of command of the enemy in the later several times can only be described as sparse.

'What is the purpose of the enemy sending troops to kill themselves?' ’

Looking at the camp that was close at hand, Witt, who was now safe, began to calm down and think about this question. He didn't believe that the other party was doing useless work, the traces against him before were very obvious, and the last few waves of attacks were to prevent himself from relaxing, so that his heart was tense all the time?

With a laugh and a shake of the ridiculous thought out of his head, Werther glanced at the Demon Suppression Valley, which exuded a little demonic energy from time to time.

"There are still too few clues, I hope Jamie's intuition can help me!"

Receiving Witt was Jamie's attendant.

"Lord Werther, Lord Jamie is on patrol. It's going to be a while before I get back! ”

Not surprisingly, Witt nodded and asked him to help him settle the refugees who accompanied him.

Soon after, Jamie finished his patrol. He patted Werther, who was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, put his arm around his shoulder and asked, "Old man, you look tired!" ”

In the face of the familiar action, Witt glanced at him coldly, and then very skillfully took the arm on his shoulder and said, "Help me think about what's wrong." ”

Werther's words made Jamie stare at him like a monster, and asked in an exaggerated tone, "Are you sure you haven't been dropped?" You know, you're the brains of our squad! Speaking of the team, I haven't seen Fu in a long time. I don't know how she's doing now. And..."

"Shut up! There is business. ”

Witt first interrupted Jamie's chatter, and then said in a serious tone: "This thing is very strange, I need you, an outsider, to help me see what I didn't pay attention to, but missed." ”

Werther's gesture made Jamie stop laughing. Afterwards, Jamie pulled over a chair and sat down quietly, listening carefully to what happened to Werther.

Ten minutes later, Jamie, who had listened to Werther's experience today, said the first thing he said: "Werther, you are reckless!" ”

Although these words, spit out from the mouth of Jamie, who has always been very reckless, seem ridiculous. But Witt nodded and acknowledged Jamie's claim.

"It's a foregone conclusion, so I won't talk about your recklessness. When we start to figure it out, we can probably see the whole thing. ”

Seeing Jamie cut directly to the point, Werther's body unconsciously became worth it.

"Let's start with the characteristics of the first three waves of the enemy's attacks. All three took the lives of refugees and soldiers. Its purpose is self-evident, it is to make you have self-doubt and make you lose confidence. ”

This alone, Werther thought about it. However, he did not know what was the purpose of discouragement. So, he subconsciously vetoed this item.

"His goal of disloughting me has been achieved. However, the strange actions that followed the third wave left me baffled. It stands to reason that after I have self-doubt, it is the best time for them to start. But what did you see what they did after that? No matter how you look at their aggressive behavior, it looks like they are doing something stupid. ”

Hearing Werther's heart, Jamie shook his head and said, "Of course you think it's weird when you look at it. After all, you're in the enemy's game. If you take it apart, you will find that they do it with a very strong purpose. ”

Ignoring Werther's surprised eyes, Jamie organized his words a little and continued, "You see, no matter how many waves there are, they are essentially attacks. The target of the attack, generally speaking, is your team, but have you ever thought that the 'you' in this is the combined name of you, soldiers, and refugees? Take the first three attacks, their first focus seems to be to attack refugees, but in fact, you are the core, do you agree with this? ”

Witte didn't say, 'Shouldn't it be a refugee?' Such a stupid thing, after all, he has always played the role of a counselor in the team, and it is impossible to see such an obvious thing without being clear.

"Look at the last few attacks, although the troops are stronger or something, but that's not the point. The point is why they have the ability to knock out some of the refugees, but they do it like this? With the strength and layout of the demon at that time, it was not a question of whether it could or not, but whether it was a question of whether it wanted to. Otherwise, you won't fail the first three times in a row. ”

Hearing this, Werther, whose wisdom was not low, suddenly brightened.

"You're saying that they let them go because they were in touch with me. The main reason is that I am afraid that it will affect me, right? ”

Seeing that Werther figured it out, Jamie nodded and said, "I think they are doing this because they think that you are in good shape and need to be maintained." Therefore, in order to reassure your heart, the next few waves were sent to send you to death. ”

Werther, who had torn away a corner of the fog, connected some of his own experiences and some of the information he had mastered, and asked Jamie, "Do you think that the devil knows the evils of faith and needs me to maintain the status quo?" ”

"You've already analyzed it, so why bother asking me again? Werther, I think this is just the beginning, and I have a faint feeling of unease in my heart from the moment I receive your request for help. Until now, the source of this feeling has not been found. So, we have to be careful. ”
