Chapter 13: The Temple of the West
Lorenzo didn't feel much of a name like the Blue Dragons, although he felt that the Black Dragons or the Golden Dragons would feel better. However, in comparison, this name is much better than the inexplicable "Xuanwu Squad" that the two Sword Tower Sages got.
However, the assignment of Kalanda to him was a bit of a surprise to him. Kalanda was indeed the least powerful of all the Sages, and he himself was not strong in front of many Sages with special abilities or qualifications. In his opinion, it may be a more suitable combination for Kalanda and Liu Yisheng to be matched, and Gabriel and himself may be a more suitable combination. But the final result of the distribution was Liu Yisheng and Gabriel's group, Mo Yu and Gao Wen's group, and Amaranto and Yvette of the Sword Tower's group.
Later, during a private exchange that afternoon, Wang Jiyuan told him that the strength of the four teams was not evenly distributed. They arranged Liu Yisheng, who was the strongest, and Gabriel, who had the God of War armament, together, and then added a group of top masters such as Anal, hoping that they could conquer the more powerful temple. Lorenzo's team, on the other hand, will be assigned to the temple where the enemy is relatively weak. Most of the targets he had to deal with were the Sages that Liu Yisheng had dealt with in other worlds, and he had mastered some of their weaknesses, which had been summarized and handed over to Lorenzo.
Lorenzo was secretly a little unwilling to do this, he had never been a person who was willing to be plain, otherwise he would not have done anything to lurk alone in the Temple of Wisdom. However, he still obeyed Wang Jiyuan's tactical arrangement, and in his mind, if he could seize the time to kill a few more enemies, the quantity of the destroyed saints could replace the quality.
On the night of the meeting, after the team members were confirmed, they traveled to the southern end of the territory of the Tower of China through the teleportation array, and then infiltrated the southern city-state in the starry night.
The natural shrines in the territory of the Tower of China have been suppressed, and their remaining strength is relatively limited, and none of them are the objects of the Divine City Sages. Most of the targeted temples are located within kingdoms, empires, or southern city-states.
Lorenzo's first goal was a natural temple in the western part of the southern city-state.
This temple of nature is located on the edge of a city-state called Sulujaa, and according to intelligence, the two Sages who came to take over the temple were Miliana and Polidarro.
When Lorenzo and his party arrived in Sulujaya, they contacted the intelligence agent who had been planted there, a young man named Ma Qin. His ostensible identity is to run a trading company here on behalf of the Tower of China.
But in reality, he was the head of intelligence in the central and western regions of the southern city-states. An identity like him is actually not too secretive, because the appearance of black hair and black eyes is typical of the Tower of China, but this appearance also provides him with the best protection. Knowing that he might have a problem, the kings or consuls of the various city-states had to treat him as a guest.
Ma Qin took Lorenzo and the others to the local trading house of the China Tower, a large courtyard on the edge of the city. It doesn't look very luxurious, but with its towering walls and patrolling guards, it looks like it's well-defended.
Walking into the compound of the trading house, Lorenzo found that there were many guards on duty, heavily armed, and the atmosphere seemed to be very tense. There were several horses parked in the middle of the courtyard, and people were constantly moving boxes from the room to the wagon, as if preparing for the evacuation.
Lin Lichuan and Ma Qin are old acquaintances, and he asked, "The atmosphere here is not right." The group of cowards in the southern city-state probably won't let you be vigilant like this, and the temple has a move?"
Ma Qin nodded and said, "We have inside information, the Natural Temple is going to have trouble with us, and it is already dangerous for us people to stay here." If it weren't for you, we would have been going to evacuate Sulujaya tomorrow morning. ”
"Inside information?"
"The person in charge of the Shadow Regiment of the Temple near here has a good relationship with me, I have opened a trading house in the city with him, and I often bring new good things from Hewan New Town, I got the news the day before yesterday, the two new saints have suppressed the original temple main priest, basically controlled the inside of the temple, and have begun to do something to the merchants and nobles in the city. If you subdue the nobles here, you may have to do something to us. ”
Lorenzo said, "Do they want those nobles to come and deal with us?"
"Quite possibly. Ma Qin said, "If those nobles are forced by their pressure to do something to us, they will have to follow the natural temple with all their hearts." I don't want to vote for them, and I don't have the ability to harden the Sage, so naturally I can only withdraw as soon as possible. ”
Lorenzo said, "Since we're here, you don't have to go." ”
"Don't you have to go?" Ma Qin looked surprised, "I thought you were here to help us retreat, but when I was contacted above, they only said that I would fully cooperate with you, and the specific course of action would be determined by you after you got enough information." I still don't know what your mission is?"
"If those two Sages are finished, you won't have to wrinkle. Lorenzo smiled slightly.
Ma Qin stopped and said, "These two people are two saints!"
"In front of you, too, there are two sages. Lin Lichuan said with a smile.
Ma Qin led them into a secret room under the trading house, which was protected by a complex magic circle and appeared to be safe. By this time, he already knew that Lorenzo and Caranda were the two new Sages.
Lin Lichuan said: "Don't be surprised, your current level should be able to understand the basic situation of this operation." That's right, Wang Jiyuan's strategy is to take the initiative to attack, strike first, kill as many saints as he can, and reap as many benefits as he can. Before they can react, take them by surprise. As long as your intelligence is in place, we will have a greater certainty of action, and we can even achieve our goals with small losses. ”
"That's a lot of money. Wang Jiyuan is really bold. But it's not impossible to think about it, in fact, the temple has long been mixed with the locals in this place, if you want to say corruption, erosion, they and the locals are a community, although we are outsiders, but because of various businesses, in this community. Therefore, it would definitely be unpopular to think that those two saints were going to squeeze in by force now. Ma Qin pondered and said: "I don't want the place I run to be destroyed by the people of Divine City like this, you say, how do you need me to cooperate." ”
