I reached out and tested the temperature of the corpse, and found that the mercenary hadn't been dead for too long.

I looked at Dorler and Agmar and said, "Judging by the time of this man's death, if the mercenaries who suddenly left the lakeside camp were attacking the false temple, we should have had time to come to the rescue." ”

Doler said, "Master, isn't it dangerous on this side of the temple?" ”

Agma said, "With my master here, what danger can there be?!" ”

I said, "Your master is not in any danger, but you think everyone is as good as your master?" ”

Agmar listened to me and was a little nervous. After all, children who grew up in the mountains are very simple and do not understand the dangers of the world. She said, "Is the temple really in danger? So what do we do? ”

I said, "What else can I do?" Hurry up and get there! ”

Along the way, we also saw several other corpses left behind by the attack of the Thousand-Faced Beast. The corpses were in a variety of postures, but it was clear that they were all soldiers who had fallen behind.

The three of us hurried to the valley, where the mercenaries had their first camp.

The night before, we had a sneak attack on the place and blew up the mercenary's makeshift ammunition depot here. But now this valley is empty, and there is a kind of coldness that says no. In the clear moonlight, the night wind whined, and the rocks on both sides of the valley rose and the trees swayed. The mercenary tents in the valley are gone, leaving only a huge crater formed by the explosion of an ammunition depot. I just didn't know that the mercenaries stationed here retreated to the back after being attacked at night and joined forces with the mercenaries stationed by the lake. Or pull out the camp in advance and go directly to the direction of the temple.

The three of us stopped in front of the huge crater that had formed after the explosion of the ammunition depot. Doler looked at the crater, stuck out his tongue, and said, "It's a good thing to blow these things up, otherwise, I don't know how much these mercenaries would have to use these things and destroy us." Perhaps, the temple will be difficult to protect as well. ”

Gugma also said, "Without these things, those mercenaries are also toothless tigers, how can they still be angry?!" ”

I said, "It's not as simple as you think. You're underestimating these mercenaries. All we have destroyed is the spare ammunition of these mercenaries, and a considerable part of the ammunition has been equipped in the hands of every mercenary. The ammunition that has been equipped is enough for us to drink a pot solidly. Otherwise, how could they dare to attack the temple? ”

Agmar looked up in the direction of the temple and saw silence in the sky over there, and she said, "It looks like there is no fight on the temple side yet." ”

Dole also looked up in the direction of the temple and said, "Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the battle may start at any time. ”

I said, "You might as well imagine how these mercenaries will attack the temple?" ”

"There are traps all the way into the mountain from here, and the road is not easy to follow, so I guess these mercenaries will not be able to reach the temple until after dawn." With the current number of mercenaries, they should have surrounded the temple and set up a posture to attack. ”

"With what we know now, it's very likely that someone from the temple has defected. The man knew about the temple arrangement, so as soon as the man arrived at the mercenary camp by the lake, the mercenaries immediately decided to sneak up on him. That's why we saw an empty camp at the mercenary camp by the lake. Because these mercenaries left suddenly and temporarily, there was no time to leave the camp. ”

I looked at Doler approvingly, gave him a thumbs up, and encouraged him to continue.

Doler looked at me, and continued, "It seems that the traps we set up on the road, because this defector, poses no threat to these mercenaries. The defector's ability to escape to the mercenary camp by the lake proves that he understands the traps along the way. Otherwise, this man would not have escaped to the mercenary camp by the lake. I think that under the leadership of this defector, those mercenaries must have bypassed all our traps, even the alarm traps and outposts. Now, the mercenaries have not surrounded the temple, but have also reached the perimeter of the temple and are besieging it. ”

Agma turned to look at me, and seeing that I had not spoken, he became a little anxious, and said, "If so, then what are we waiting for?" Reinforcements should be rushed! ”

I looked at Agma and said, "Tell me what we should do when we get to the temple?" ”

Doler said, "I can't think of what we should do with the three of us, against hundreds of mercenaries. Originally, I didn't have enough bullets, but fortunately, I collected some from the corpses of mercenaries, which was enough. But not many grenades were collected. The grenades and incendiary bombs we brought with us before have all been used up at the foot of the Gongbrazan Snow Mountain. ”

Agma looked at me, tilted her head, and said, "With you, you still want me to fuck that bitch?" Didn't you say that there are always more difficult solutions? Anyway, in this world, nothing can stump you. I don't have to bother with it, I just need to be a good girl. I know you've got a plan, don't you? I listen to you, I will do whatever you ask me to do! ”

Listening to Agma's words, I shook my head with a wry smile. This girl is getting bigger and bigger, and she is not the same as when I first met. I know the mind of a little girl at this age, and I know that in a given situation, they will try to attract attention in all sorts of unexpected ways. But right now, I'm not in the mood to bother with that. I knew in my heart that the reality of the situation was much more dangerous than Dole and Agma had thought. Judging from the situation along the way, all the mercenaries were on their way at full strength, and they did not care at all about what might happen next. They are moving as fast as they can, which means that they are rushing for time. If my judgment is correct, the only purpose of these mercenaries is to launch a full-scale attack on the temple before dawn, and to take the temple by surprise as quickly as possible.

Seeing that I was silent, Doler couldn't help but say, "Master, what should we do next?" ”

Agmar seemed to become a matter of business, hanging high. She said, "Senior, don't worry, you think slowly." Anyway, if we want to break our heads, we can't resist your inspiration. I have self-knowledge, and if even you can't think of a good idea, I'll want to die in vain. So I'm not going to mess with you. ”

I said, "Are you complimenting me?" ”

Agmar nodded solemnly, "I'm here to show my admiration!" ”
