Chapter 200: Leon's Plan
In a mercenary team, a qualified captain has absolute authority, and his orders and decisions are the code of conduct for all team members.
Odeniz's prestige with the Holy Blade Squad is unquestionable, as evidenced by his team's dedication to following in the face of danger, but the Lion Warrior is anything but an arbitrary leader.
As a new member, Leon took the initiative to express his thoughts, which was somewhat offensive to the captain, but Odeniz did not care in the slightest, but listened carefully to Leon's opinion, showing his open-mindedness.
"At present, the monastery is completely surrounded by the other side, and although we can surprise and raid into it, we can only be trapped inside, and we cannot help the people of the Banga tribe out of danger. ”
Leon picked up a dead branch and drew lines on the ground to sketch a simple battle diagram.
Naturally, the mercenaries, including Odeniz, surrounded him, and the Fox Shaman infused his staff with a hint of mana, and the magic crystal embedded in the head of the staff emitted a faint soft glow, providing illumination without being noticeable.
Odeniz nodded, he had a similar thought, after all, a monastery is not small, and the number of Terran mercenaries is not very large, and it is not difficult to break through from the periphery.
"My idea is...", Leon said, pointing to the location of the mountain on the map, "let's take out the sentry guards on the mountain first, and then have the archers attack the enemy camp from the flanks from a long distance to attract the attention of the enemy's defenses!"
"As long as their attention is distracted, I can take the opportunity to infiltrate the monastery and get in touch with the trapped Banga tribe. ”
"But what's the use of you going in alone?" retorted Fei Li, "Can you bring them all out safely by yourself?"
"Of course I can't rely on my strength alone..."Leon smiled slightly, "But you must know that in the hands of the chief of the Banga tribe, there is also an ancient holy weapon!"
"What do you mean?" the leopard girl was stunned.
Leon ignored her, turned his head and asked Gongo, "You said that your holy weapon has terrifying power, is it possible to rely on that ancient holy weapon to hold on to the present under the siege of the Terran mercenary group?"
Gonggo nodded: "It should be, otherwise with our strength, how can we be the opponent of those mercenaries, in fact, I don't know much about this holy weapon, I only know that it is a pair of arm guards, and after wearing it, it can allow ordinary people to have the power of a warrior!"
"That's right!" said Leon, "what if ordinary people wear it to resist a large number of mercenaries, but if a real samurai wears it?"
When Leon said this, everyone understood that he meant to infiltrate the monastery and use the power of the ancient holy weapon to deal with the mercenary group of the Terrans.
If that Ancient Sacred Weapon was really that powerful, then in Leon's hands, it would inevitably exert a power far beyond that of ordinary people, and it was not impossible to sweep away the enemy.
"If this method can work, I will kill directly from the monastery, and then you will launch a surprise attack from behind!" Leon raised his hand and made a slashing motion: "The certainty of defeating the enemy is definitely much greater." ”
"However, there's a problem here...", he looked at Odeniz and said, "Captain Odeniz, do you trust me?"
This question is undoubtedly extremely acute, who can guarantee that after Leon has that holy weapon, he will not leave alone after the siege, as long as he returns to the Savage Fortress, no matter how strong the Holy Blade is, it is helpless.
After all, for the mercenaries who were wandering in the secret realm of the Sanctuary, the temptation of an ancient holy weapon was too great!
At this point, even the old lion Gucci could not vouch for Leon, and Odeniz remained silent and seemed to be considering.
"Hmph!" Fei Li snorted coldly and asked, "Then why do you want to go, and not one of us?"
Leon said lightly: "It's very simple, infiltrating the monastery without being discovered by the enemy requires the ability of assassins or scouts, and you and Kaka have to take on the task of harassing, besides, the strength of the two of you is not as good as mine, and you are archers, how can you exert the power of that holy weapon?"
"And I was already a good scout before I became a samurai, and I was sure enough to sneak into the monastery. And my plan requires all of us to cooperate with each other, each of us has our own responsibilities, and we cannot replace each other!"
The Leopard Girl was speechless again, she had the ability to scout, but she didn't have the ability to complete the counterattack, and the effect of that holy weapon in her hands was definitely not as good as Leon, who was a third-level mad soul warrior.
"Good!" Odeniz suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with a stunning look: "This task is entrusted to you, I believe in Gucci's vision, and the person he sees will not disappoint me!"
Everyone was taken aback, and they didn't expect Odeniz to really approve of Leon's plan.
Being trusted is undoubtedly a beautiful thing, and Leon's heart was slightly moved.
He reached out and touched it from his pocket a few times, took out a white spar and handed it to Odeniz: "This is the inheritance soul core given by the Temple of Tormond, which is sealed with the memory of the dragon soul warrior Gustav, it is my most precious treasure, and its value is definitely no worse than a holy weapon!"
Gustav's Legacy Soul Core Leon had always been in the Spatial Ring, and he reached out to take it from his pocket to hide the secret of his possession of the Spatial Ring.
Taking out this precious inheritance soul core, Leon meant to use it as a pledge to completely reassure the people of the Divine Blade, so that there would be no mistakes due to suspicion in the subsequent actions.
"No!"
Unexpectedly, Odeniz directly pushed Leon's hand back: "I believe in you, that's enough, you don't need any guarantees!"
"Okay!" Leon thought for a moment, and didn't force the inheritance soul core to be put away.
This lion warrior is full of demeanor, but his strength is slightly weaker, otherwise he is definitely a strong man.
"And now—" Leon looked at Gongo, "how can you tell me how I can convince my people of my identity and make them willing to give me the Ancient Hallows?"
......... A bright moon rose high into the sky, and the wind from the forest whistled past the ruins of Gosas, bringing with it the low howl of the demonic beasts in the distance.
At the foot of the mountain, the camp of the Terran mercenary group was blazing with a bonfire, and many mercenaries were busy in front of their tents.
Around the monastery, through the broken walls of a dozen feet high, heavily armed samurai roamed around, and not far away there were two improvised arrow towers made of trees, on which archers with longbows stood.
Every once in a while, a ball of light rises in the mercenary camp, an illumination spell released into the air by the mage, in case someone escapes through the darkness of the night.
In such a situation, the people who were blocked in the monastery could not get out, and it was very difficult for people from outside to sneak in.
This mercenary group is in a position where they may not be able to force their way in, but they definitely have enough patience.
You must know that there are hundreds of people in the Banga tribe, and they fled in a hurry to hide in the monastery, and they will definitely not carry much food and water, as long as they are firmly besieged, it is enough to starve them to death of thirst.
This is one of the important reasons why Gonggo begged Odeniz to return to the Savage Fortress to seek support from the garrison.
On the mountain, there is also a guard post for the mercenary group.
Guarding the post were two Terran mercenaries, who were apparently not as nervous as the ones next to the monastery, but sat by the small campfire with their bows and crossbows, and enjoyed a modest dinner.
"Holy, the amount of food is low today, what are those guys doing when they're out hunting?, is it difficult to hunt a few more monsters that can be eaten?" one of the mercenaries grumbled.
He carefully stirred the food in the pot with the wooden spoon in his hand, and his expression was extremely unhappy: "If I knew that I would bring more food myself, I wouldn't have to starve here!"
Another mercenary sitting across from him tore at [***]'s jerky, chewing and muttering, "You can be content, the boss said, after completing this mission, let's go to the bar for three days to party, to ensure that all the women who are well fed and drunk have enough to play!"
"Let's take down that monastery first!" The stunned mercenary sneered: "I heard that the first team died four or five samurai and couldn't attack it, and the boss couldn't afford to lose too much, so we still have a good time." ”
"In my opinion, three days at most... Ugh!"
Before he could speak, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the pitch-black mountain forest not far away, hitting the throat like lightning, and the sharp arrow instantly completed a fatal penetration!
The mercenary's eyes bulged, his throat rattled, and blood poured out of his torn wounds, and he fell backwards.
The mercenary on the opposite side was suddenly taken aback, he never dreamed that he and the others would be attacked, and he opened his mouth wide in shock and was ready to shout a warning call.
But his mouth had barely opened, and before the sound could come out of his throat, a cold knife slashed silently across his neck.
The mercenary's head rolled to the ground, blood splattering on the campfire.
Leon's figure appeared like a ghost, and he kicked the corpse on the ground, reaching out and making a gesture backwards.
The old lion and the Kaka cat walked over on their waists, quickly dragged the two bodies into the bushes next to them, and then sat down in front of the campfire.
"And the broth, that's good!" the old lion stretched out his nose and sniffed at the pot, showing a satisfied smile: "It's a pity that there are a little less!"
Leon smiled and quietly retreated.
His figure was silently engulfed in darkness!
