The group of people who had been involved at the three lookout posts were located on the stone platform that Gerhardt called the Eagle's Beak Terrace. On the stone platform of less than ten square meters, the bonfire has been extinguished, and there is still some water in the kettle set up on the bonfire. An oilcloth bag spread out on a large rock next to the campfire revealed the black bread and small pieces of pastrimi inside, a special benefit that Manuel had given to a few lookouts.

The firewood used to make a fire at the back of the platform was neatly stacked, and there were a few wiped muskets next to the firewood, and the entire lookout platform was in good order, and everything seemed to be normal, which showed that the lookout sent by Hedram to this platform was the elite of the Vistellos.

"There's still a bit of warmth inside the campfire, and they should have added firewood in the middle of the night as dawn approached. There was also a little bit of crushed coffee beans at the bottom of the kettle, which they wanted to eat for breakfast. Xu Mo's flat words were full of anger.

"They were attacked in the second half of the night near dawn, and the enemy ignored the Vestelos!" Hedram clenched his fists and said coldly.

It would have been understandable if the attack had taken place at night, but it was close to dawn and the sky was already starting to lighten, and the movement on the platform could already be seen from the telescope of the Vestelos, which was why Hedram and Xu Mo were so angry.

In addition to the anger, a cold air rose from the tail vertebrae behind everyone's backs, which made people feel creepy. Everything on the olecranon platform shows that the lookouts on the Vestelos were awake and not asleep when they were attacked, but they did not even have time to take the muskets that were kept at hand and were already loaded with lead bullets, and they were attacked by the enemy without even having any room for resistance.

What's even more bizarre is that their bodies were not found on the platform or under the cliff, not even a drop of blood, as if these lookouts had evaporated out of thin air for no reason. Obviously, they also encountered the mysterious incident that the Hell God had encountered, and it is likely that the Hell God had happened more than once, so it was no wonder that the English sailors were demoralized and Clifford was forced to leave hastily.

"It's not something humans can do, they must have been taken captive by the devil!" The other lookouts began to shout in alarm.

"Shut up, remember you're Vikings!" Hedram scolded.

Xu Mo turned around on the platform, carefully looking at the clues on the platform, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he found something more strange, but then he frowned again and began to think.

After a while, Xu Mo raised his head and said to Hedlam, who was still thinking, "Your Excellency, how much time will it take for us to complete the freshwater replenishment work!" ”

"Originally, there were four small boats on the Vestelos, but because of the overloading of people at sea this time, only three were brought with us, and one of them was lost when it was camouflaged with the stern light. There are only two dinghys to transport the ice dug up from the volcanic glacier, and it will take about a day and a half to replenish the fresh water on board. Hudram calculated, and then replied.

"Your Excellency, let me stay on the island tonight as a lookout, and I hope that the other two lookouts will also be appointed by me." Xu Mo said with a smile.

"Alfred, have you found out?" Hedram looked at Xu Mo in surprise, "Since you have discovered something, say it, otherwise, I won't let you risk it alone!" ”

"Your Excellency, I have found nothing, but believe me, whether it is a devil or a human, tomorrow morning, I will definitely bring him or them to you!" Xu Mo put his right hand on his shoulder and made a noble salute.

“…… Well, how many manpower do you need! Hedram was silent for a moment, and finally chose to trust the man in front of him who had not let him down.

"Each lookout post only needs two people, and this platform will let me and Pastor Dinah guard it, and the other two lookout posts...... Xu Mo said lightly.

"Everyone else is fine, it's just Pastor Dinah......" Hedram turned his head to look at Dinah, who was not his subordinate and he couldn't force Dinah.

"I am honored to be of great help to His Excellency Alfred!" Of course, Dinah will not dismantle her boss's platform, and nods with a smile.

"Be careful, Alfred!" Hedram took a deep look at Xu Mo and led the others off the platform.

"Boss, did you make any discoveries?" Seeing that Hedram had left, Dinah asked suspiciously.

"Dinah, look at that cave behind the platform!" Xu Mo pointed to the small karst cave with a diameter of less than one meter and said.

"There's nothing suspicious, the other two lookouts seem to have such small caves, but the size is basically very small, it's okay for people to lie in it, but it won't work at all if you want to ambush inside!" Dinah approached the cave and took a closer look.

"Use your gifted 'True Mind' to probe inside!" Xu Mo's eyes flashed and he said lightly.

"Well, it's so deep in here! There doesn't seem to be anything suspicious! Dinah probed and said with a frown.

"Is there some crushed ice in there?" A cold light flashed in Xu Mo's eyes.

"Hmm...... Yes, there is some broken ice, but there is nothing strange about this, this mountain is full of glaciers, and it is nothing to fall into some broken ice! Although she said this, Dinah had a sense of incongruity in her heart.

"No, the crushed ice on the mountain can't fall in, you take a closer look around here!" A smile appeared on Xu Mo's face.

"Definitely! This terrain is like a bird's beak, even if the glacier above the volcano drops some broken ice, it will be blocked by the rocks protruding from it, if it is the ice and snow blown in by the wind, judging from the curved shape of this cave, at most it will accumulate near the mouth of the cave, and the broken ice will not fall into it so deeply! Dinah looked around again and said in surprise.

"Hmph, there's some broken ice at the mouth of that cave, and Hudram didn't notice anything unusual because he didn't come up yesterday, but I'm different, and Gelhardt and I carefully explored the platform yesterday. Yesterday, there was no such broken ice on the edge of the cave on this platform, even if it was blown by the wind, it was impossible to concentrate it there, and these broken ice were left by the attackers! Xu Mo said lightly.

"Boss, are you saying something came out of the cave and attacked our lookouts, dragging them into the cave? But why didn't they resist? Dinah nodded, then asked again.

"When humans stand on a cliff, they habitually stand backwards to avoid accidentally falling off the cliff, and the same goes for our lookouts. This platform is so small, hundreds of meters above the ground, they will not stand on the edge of the cliff, and generally choose to stand against the inside of the platform, which is almost less than a meter from the cave. If something comes out of the cave, it's easy to attack them from behind. Xu Mo slowly analyzed.

"Even if this is the case, there are five lookouts, and it is impossible for them to be taken away quietly and without any room for resistance!" Dinah said with a frown.

"You're right, I also have doubts about this, but after all, it is difficult for ordinary people's bodies to be immune to some abnormal states, such as paralyzing toxins and the like. However, reincarnation is different, we are law bodies, and many means that can control ordinary people are ineffective against reincarnation. Even if it is a toxin that ordinary people touch and die, it will at most make us lose a part of our health. This night, I'd like to see what it is that can keep five elite armed sailors at their fingertips! Xu Mo said coldly.

"Boss, it's no wonder you're separating Selena and Ahan from the other two lookouts, I thought you'd take the opportunity to get rid of them! Hee-hee! Dinah said with a grin.

"Hehe, neither of us is on the ship, of course, we can't keep them on the boat to avoid some accidents!" Xu Mo smiled indifferently.

……

"Yawn, I hate this cold weather the most, that damn bastard actually put me on this kind of mission!" Selena rubbed her little nose and cursed through gritted teeth.
