Chapter 519 The Quagmire of Greed X (10)
"It's powerful. Henry, who was the fastest update, died the first time, failing to cry for help or putting up any resistance. ”
Gard looked at Jack, who had come to such a conclusion, and then at Henderman on the side.
The effect of the curtain had almost disappeared, but there was still no expression on the chief's face--- the battle was almost over, and everyone was about to evacuate, when something like this suddenly happened. I wonder what he's going to do next?
Henry is an old team-mate. Not weak among the lobster soldiers, but not strong either. It's not surprising that the enemy has a powerful attack and can take out one of us in an instant, but why would they choose to attack him?
"What's going on?" Gad asked the spirit in the bracelet. "Was it a ranged attack from the enemy?"
"Nope." The spirit replied. "I didn't sense the powerful ranged attack energy."
"And did you sense the powerful melee attack energy?" Gard asked angrily.
"Not either." The bracelet replied. "I sensed the crystal energy of that broken Scout Circle; and the crystal energy of the teleportation circle on your teammate's body that was taken out earlier. They're flashing. ”
Crystals that have already been taken out? That's Varière or Collier? Varier sent the captives back first, and that was Collier?
"What do you mean when you say, 'The energy of the crystals is flickering'?" Gard asked.
"Meaning, somebody is using the energy in the crystal and making it work differently. The three pieces in the camp before, as well as the three pieces in your hand, are teleportation functions, but that doesn't mean they can't be used for other purposes. ”
There is contract protection, and people here cannot hurt each other. But if you teleport out, teleport to the enemy's location, and then someone kills Henry and teleports him back....
"You mean, someone teleported Henry, killed him, and then teleported back?" Gad thought about it for a moment, then said to the bracelet.
"It's not impossible," the voice on the bracelet was silent for a moment, then replied. Theoretically, it is achievable. ”
"In other words, the two people who got the crystals before did it? Varier or Collier? ”
"If they didn't trade the crystals, that's it." The voice in the bracelet said.
Yes, it cannot be ruled out that they made a 'trade'. After all, Collier is one of the lowest members of the team, surrounded by darkness, and Henry is a man who likes to take advantage of small things....
"It's not safe here, let's go back first." Jack said to Hendermand.
Henderman nodded vaguely in the dark. "You arrange to bring Henry's body back."
This was said to Jack. Gard glanced at the other and didn't know what to do.
It's okay to just tell your own inferences, and maybe you can find out the truth. But then what?
I don't have much credit for it. Henderman brought men out and carried out two successful attacks, and it was not uncommon for there to be casualties in the exchange of fire with the enemy.
But if it's the murder of one's own people, that's another matter. The captain is responsible.
Will Captain Allen punish Henderman? Or at least talk to him? At this time, if you lead the team to the expedition and get a big victory.... Mr. Allen would have more than enough reason to split up a new combat team. Deputy Commander Arnold no more, if he defeated the enemy before he returned, before using the 'Rays of the Sun'. Then even if he objected, it would be of no use.
It's worth doing.
Two men came out and lifted Henry's body on a stretcher. Immediately, before the enemy attack arrived, the whole team began to return.
Gard walked at the back of the line. The curtain effect on most of the people has disappeared, and Jack and Henderman can be seen walking together in front of them, whispering something.... Collier is on the other side.
What is needed most now is time, and you must tell Commander Allen about your speculation as soon as you go back. How do you say that? It is suggested that he and Captain Henderman investigate Varière and Collier; And said that he was willing to lead the team out?
"Spirit, how does the energy react in other camps?"
"They're all on guard." There was a voice like this from the bracelet. "Combat, reconnaissance, teleportation, it's all ready."
Well, if you weren't ready after two camps were attacked, that would be too problematic. However, even if the other party is ready, the effect of the curtain is very strong, and besides, it is okay to pull out the magic circle in the tent in advance?
"What about the energy of the veil on us? If we attack with the curtain intact, will that scouting circle be able to detect it? ”
The voice in the bracelet paused for a moment. "As long as it's not too close, it's still hard to spot. Or, if you interfere with that kind of circle, you can do it. ”
"How?"
"Just set up another identical scouting circle next to there." The voice in the bracelet said. "The two circles will interfere with each other, and as a result, neither of them will work."
Scouting circles, that is, things that have just been taken by someone else in the team. "If I ask for crystals, do you know how to build a circle?"
"It can't be used as a detective, but if the rest of the materials are available, then it can still be done to destroy the magic circle that is running."
A moment later, the voice in the bracelet gave such an answer.
After learning that the rest of the material was simple, Gad was quite satisfied. In this case, the attack has a good chance of success, and the next step is to act....
Won't it go too well?
Could it be a trap? What's the problem?
Could it be a trap to be able to fulfill your long-held desire so easily and get the position of your dreams?
Did Henderman do this on purpose? He knew that he had picked up this bracelet, and that he knew his conversation with this spirit?
Or even that he threw this bracelet here? Because he knows his ambitions and intends to use this opportunity to kill himself?
No, that can't be.
This idea was dismissed in a flash.
Henderman didn't have such a brain, although he knew how to use firepower, arrange a line, and lead the charge.... But he doesn't understand such things as traps and tricks.
Or, it was prepared by Mr. Arnold to test everyone's loyalty to him? If you act on your own, Mr. Arnold will show up and punish yourself severely?
It's scary to think about. Gard shuddered.
But... It can't be either. Because I don't deserve it.
That's right, not worthy. He is a very small person, and he is not worthy of any trap to be devised by the dignified chairman of the Council, Mr. Arnold. Even if he wants to punish himself severely, he can't do anything to resist, he can only bear it, in such a situation, why is there any need to design a trap for himself?
No problem... There's no need to think about it, this plan is good, just go for it.
"Poof!"
A muffled thud sounded beside him, and in the distance, Jack fell.
Collier didn't make any moves! What's going on?
As Gad was thinking this, a voice sounded in the distance: "Doublekill!" ”
