Quirrell had already climbed to the top of the second mountain, and there were almost no plants on the top of the mountain, except for the scattered large and small rocks scattered all over the top of the mountain. Looking around, the view is incomparably better. They also found that the lakeside where they were located looked like a double-mouth sack in the mountains, with only a small path on the east and west sides for traffic. The lake follows the mountain peaks to form a lake here. The hill on which they were located had an unobstructed view of the road and the entire flat land. You can clearly see the every move of the companions who are camping and resting below.

Mihawk suddenly shouted, "Come and see this way." ”

Quirrell rushed over when he heard the sound, and Mihawk flashed out from behind a stone, holding a wine bottle in his hand, putting it on the tip of his nose and sniffing it gently: "It's wine, there are still residues in it, it won't be left here for long, and it may even be that this person left after we got below." ”

Wine? Quirrell instantly remembered some undesirable person, and the person who had the leisure to watch them drink in this wilderness was obviously only their division commander. But what the hell is this guy going to do? What the hell did he think of to fix us, and Quirrell didn't have a clue.

The two peaks are not far apart, but the view is completely different, and when the first peak climbs, there are even steeper cliffs connected to countless mountains. The vision is far less than what it is now.

Quirrell said: "Two mountains, we have tried the one just now, unless it is possible to climb down from the distant mountain range unless there are professional hunters or elite soldiers with excellent climbing skills, but in any case, it is impossible for a large group of people to pass, time and movement are problems, it is difficult to have any impact on us, or before it poses a threat to us, we found that it is fully prepared, and this mountain, we can observe our own camp situation closely, and we can monitor whether there are people coming and going on the two roads from afar, You can also observe whether there is any movement on the opposite mountain, and if you place a sentry, it is much more suitable here. ”

Mihawk nodded, "I suggest that we work in pairs to observe one direction and work in shifts of two hours." Except for the impossible people coming from the direction of the lake, we have to keep an eye on other places, whether it is our own people, or the villagers who have disappeared inexplicably, or anyone else, we can find out and inform Captain Luke to prepare as soon as possible. I certainly don't believe that the division commander let us camp here so simply. ”

Carla said suddenly: "I said that you kid talked a lot today, you didn't say as much as you said today in the past few months, why should the master listen to you." ”

Mihawk frowned, obviously very unhappy with Kara's sudden trouble at this time. Quirrell knew that although Kara didn't look for Mihawk's stubble, he still didn't like this arrogant guy in his heart, and today he saw that his boastful knowledge was very good, and the unhappiness in his heart came up again. Quirrell sighed, there is actually no contradiction between these two people, and even Mihawk only needs to give Kara a smile and show a little favor, I am afraid that Kara will immediately be able to call him a brother and declare to the public that he and Mihawk are more iron brothers, but it is more difficult to let Mihawk show favor than to let Paul stop fixing them, and Cara's temper is naturally impossible to go first, not to mention Kara, even Quirrell is not very willing to go first for such a cold guy. But when it came to business, Quirrell still had a clear tell, and said to Kara: "It's important to get down to business, Kara, you take Karn and them down first, and tell the leader about the situation, me and Quirrell, Jason, Jayne, a few of us are here to guard the first wave, and you come up after dark to change shifts." ”

Kara wanted to say more, but she also prioritized and shrugged, "I didn't listen to you. "Wave your hand and take someone down to report. Quirrell was also relieved, looked up and found that Mihawk was also staring at him, nodded and said: "Mihawk, you and Jason are staring at the way we came from, I am staring at the opposite mountain, you two go and look at the road we haven't walked, as soon as there is a wind and grass, immediately light the fire = signal to inform the people below, no matter what, you are not allowed to wander, is there a problem?" ”

Said to ask everyone, but Quirrell also knew that only Mihawk would have questions, but fortunately, Mihawk nodded, and went to find a suitable place with the little fat man Jason to start sentry, Quirrell watched everyone disperse, suddenly raised his bow and arrow and aimed behind a stone, and shouted: "Come out, we have already found you." ”

Everyone looked at the stone more than one person tall in shock, obviously not finding anyone there, Mihawk had already raised his bow in his hand and said: "Come out step by step slowly, if there is any move, I will release the arrow immediately." ”

After an eerie silence, everyone had already reacted and drew their swords in their hands, preparing to wait for Quirrell's order to surround the stone. Quirrell put down his bow and arrows and smiled, "I'll try, but I didn't see anything, so let's continue to take their positions." ”

Everyone booed and scattered, and Mihawk put away his bow and arrows, smiled at Quirrell, and chased after Jason.

Until it was almost dark, nothing happened, and everyone's tense nerves had already relaxed and laughed. I heard Kara's greeting from afar: "Think about the master, I brought you freshly grilled fish, don't say that I treat you badly." Carla and her successor finally returned to the top of the hill to replace her.

Quirrell took the grilled fish from Kara and said, "What's going on down there?" Did an accident happen? ”

Kara said: "You don't know if there is, you can see what is going on down there better than I do." The leader is just to be on guard at any time, and the following is also divided into four squads, two teams and two teams patrolling back and forth, and they dare not relax their vigilance at all. ”

Quirrell nodded, "It's the same above, there is no movement on the three roads that may have a situation, and the taut strings have long been loosened." ”

Kara's strings were obviously the kind that had never been tightened, and he said to Quirrell: "I think we are suspicious, and the reservation is simply to let us stay here, and when we are nervous, he will jump out nine times out of ten It will be the end of the test, and I will test your endurance hahaha." ”

Quirrell wiped the sweat from his head, knowing to talk to Kara again. Not only will there be no breakthrough, but it will bring itself into the basin of IQ. Waving at Kara, he took the shift change back to the camp to report to Luke.

It wasn't until late at night that Quirrell's group of six people went up the mountain for the third time to change shifts, and there was no change in the situation, and everyone had long since lost the nervousness they had just arrived, but completely relaxed. The uneasiness in Kara's heart grew stronger. pulled Mihawk and said, "Let's have a wave of this shift." ”

Mihawk was stunned for a moment, nodded and joined Quirrell, he was also full of doubts, he didn't dare to relax, and the most dangerous road in his heart was the one he had never taken, so he naturally wanted to stare at it himself. Quirrell nodded and asked Jason to take someone to stare at the other two. And Mihawk again lay down at the selected observation point and entered the post. Mihawk still had the same poker face as he didn't say a word, and sat next to Quirrell, and the two of them didn't look at each other like this, and they didn't make any sound for a long time, but it was perfectly in line with the quality and professionalism that a dark whistle should have.

"Ahem." Quirrell really couldn't stand the silence, and coughed lightly twice, Mihawk could not say a word for three or five days, Quirrell couldn't stand it, not to mention that Quirrell really wanted to talk to someone at this time, and said softly: "That... What do you think? "I finally held back what I wanted to say.

Mihawk's advantage is that although he doesn't take the initiative to speak, he never pretends to be stupid when asked, and says in a low voice: "The division commander won't let us come here to play or stay up for time, there must be a show for us to jump in, since he ordered us to stay here, I guess this time will not exceed three days." Within three days, he will definitely jump out and solve the mystery. ”

Quirrell said: "Yes, I just don't know what he wants to do, only know which aspect he wants to be difficult for us, is combat effectiveness?" Scouting ability? Or something else? Knowing this, we can prescribe the right medicine and prepare. ”

Mihawk agreed, and said, "Since we are told to be fully armed and ready, and our recent training is mainly based on actual combat, we will definitely not be able to escape actual combat." But who is the opponent? ”

Quirrell looked at the windswept woods in the distance, fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "I think the three waves of possible enemies, first of all, the guys from the other brigades, are all fully armed with real guys, and the strength of our team is about the same, and the losses are too great." So it's almost impossible. The second is that the defenders in Fort Crane are absolutely sufficient in terms of combat effectiveness and size, and these veterans are definitely willing to join in the fun. It's just that defending the city is a big matter, and the guards of Kranburg may not dare to disperse like this, and if there is a good one, no one can afford to pay the responsibility. This is also unlikely. As for the third one, it must have something to do with the village below, the people in the village must have received some news to leave, maybe they are fleeing from the same group of people we are facing? ”

Mihawk nodded: "It is very likely, I assume that the enemy's goal was to come to the village to loot or other purposes, and the division commander and the villagers got the news at the same time, the villagers chose to flee, and the division commander chose to let us face the possible bandits." ”

Quirrell was obviously said to his heart, and said softly: "Whether it is a robber or someone for other purposes, they must be enough to scare away dozens of people and villages, and they are thought by the division commander that they can be taken down by us, no matter how cruel this guy is to us, he will not let us die." And the enemy will appear at any time, and we will not arrive in advance by more than two days. ”

Mihawk's hand touched his non-bearded chin again and said, "Since the enemy will appear at any time, what is the probability that they will kill from this path without preparation or exploration?" ”

Quirrell smiled, "Almost nothing, this is the border of the Empire, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no patrolling brigade soldiers or villagers reporting to the officer, so there must be a small group of scouts before they attack." ”

Mihawk also smiled: "Then what are we waiting for, you don't set up an eye on the other side, just for fear of startling the snake." ”

Quirrell scratched his head and said, "I still have to think about it, you really can't talk." ”

Mihawk actually laughed rarely: "You are also worried that except for the two of us, everyone else is less prone to danger, and more is meaningless." ”

Quirrell also smiled: "The main thing is that your brother, the descendant of the Sword Saint, is reassuring. ”
