Viscount Emmett led several knights from the Knight Scout Team of Hylantha to the street where the temple in the town of Umezu was located.

Seeing a large number of hellhounds roaming around the temple, Viscount Emmett could tell without taking out the map that this was the key reconnaissance area of Umezu Town marked by the magician reconnaissance team on the map, but the knight reconnaissance team entered Umezu Town at night, and it was impossible to rely on the town's landmark buildings to confirm their location.

Now seeing the Statue of Liberty on the top tower of the temple house towering in the night sky, Viscount Emmett once again unfolded the map of the town of Umezu, looked at the big red cross marked on the map, and wanted to tell his companions that this was the destination of this reconnaissance.

Surdak and Andrew removed their invisibility due to an unexpected incident, and instead of approaching the temple, they chose to lurk in a dwelling next to the temple.

Viscount Emmett waved his hand to the knights in the squad, and with the help of the invisibility effect, they continued along the long street, and little by little they approached the temple.

After the knights approached the temple, they found that there were hundreds of hellhounds guarding outside the iron railing wall, unless they killed this group of hellhounds, even if they were invisible, it would be difficult to pass by these hellhounds, and once they got too close, they would inevitably be discovered by those hellhounds.

Just when Viscount Emmett was worried about how to get through this area, he didn't expect the howl of hellhounds to sound one after another from the east side of the town, and the hellhounds near the temple reacted quickly, and a giant hellhound with a large group of hellhounds quickly rushed towards the place of the incident.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the half-elf archers led the knight scout team around the back street of the temple, and found a tall plane tree behind the high courtyard wall, half of the canopy of this plane tree stretched into the courtyard of the temple, there were not many hellhounds here, the elven archers climbed the big tree with agility, and Viscount Emmett saw her take a few steps along the horizontal branches of the plane tree, over the courtyard wall, and jumped into the backyard of the temple.

It didn't take long for the knight scout team to climb over the courtyard wall and enter the backyard of the temple, which is very similar to the pattern of other temples, the backyard is an inner courtyard, the arched stone pillars build a circle of outer cloisters, and the central area is overgrown with dense vegetation, the landscape plants in these gardens have not been pruned by the gardener for a long time, and the original shape can no longer be seen, and the trees in the garden are growing very luxuriantly.

The invisible knight team stepped on the wild grass in the courtyard, and the wild grass that was not knee-high showed a strange bend, like an invisible foot stepping on it, leaving a clear line of footprints.

The half-elven archer seemed to stop in front of him, crouched down, and took a stone from his bosom and threw it up the other stone staircase.

The stone landed on the stone floor with a crunching sound, and a giant hellhound emerged from the bushes ten paces ahead of her and searched straight for the place where the noise had been.

Samira took the opportunity to get into the bush, and Viscount Emmett and the knights followed closely behind, and it turned out that the bush was actually an arch made of bushes, but because the bushes were so dense that they looked like a thick bush.

Walking along the stone pavement in the back courtyard for just a few dozen meters, the half-elf archers avoided the five waves of patrolling hellhounds with keen intuition, but they didn't expect the hellhounds in the temple to be more heavily guarded, Samira gestured to Viscount Emmett, and the reconnaissance team couldn't go any further.

Viscount Emmett pointed to the Roman pillar more than ten meters high near the wall of the main building of the temple, Samira understood, and led the team to approach the corner of the outer wall of the temple, the half-elf archer relied on his dexterous and light body, climbed the pattern on the stone pillar, and climbed the Roman pillar in this yin corner with his bare hands, and with some reliefs and protrusions on the surrounding walls, he actually climbed to the roof.

A rope slowly hung down the edge of the wall, and Viscount Emmett and the other three knights used it to climb up to the roof of the temple.

The slope of the roof of the temple was extremely steep, many of the green tiles were broken and not repaired, revealing several large holes, and the outstretched arms of the statue of Liberty at the top of the roof were covered with bird droppings, and Viscount Emmett saw the half-elf archer crouching next to a hole in the roof, peeking into the temple, so he led the three knights to her side cautiously, and squatted on the roof of the church to look inside the temple, because it was night, the prayer hall of the temple was pitch black.

Looking down from above, I saw the flickering lava streaks in the hall, those streaks were the natural lava patterns on the Hellhounds, it seemed that there were quite a lot of Hellhounds in the hall, and these Hellhounds were huge, and they looked at least giant Hellhounds.

It was from this hall that the staccato crying came from this hall.

The knights crouched on the roof, their cries of extreme grumpy being clearer, mingled with the creaking of chewing food, and Emmett was eager to see what was in the temple halls.

To be sure, there should be no hell passages and demon gates in this temple, otherwise there should be a steady stream of hellhounds coming out of the temple halls.

Viscount Emmett hesitated for a moment, and took out a yellow-colored magic flare from his bosom, which could burst into the air like a firework, and even the bright light of this flare could be transmitted far away during the day, he opened the fuse at the tail of the flare and threw it into the hole in the roof.

'Hiss......'

The fuse of the flare lit up with a faint fire, and it fell into the hall with a clatter, and I don't know what it hit on it, and the sound was very dull.

At this time, all the voices in the temple hall stopped, and several knights on the roof cautiously peeked into the hall, only to see a crimson immature hand reflected in the faint firelight, two black sharp horns on one head, and two fangs at the corner of the mouth The small head looked curiously at the magic flare, its purple pupils were like amethysts embedded in the eye sockets.

In the next second, a stream of flames erupted from the tail of the flare, and the entire flare swooped into the hall to the wall, making a bang, and then slammed down on the floor in the hall with a trace of tail light.

The tail flame of the flare woke up all the hellhounds in the hall, and there were dozens of giant hellhounds in the hall, staring at the flares that were flying around the hall room.

Viscount Emmett's eyes widened when he saw that the pool of holy water in the temple prayer hall was filled with crimson blood, some hands and corpses were lying in the pool, several giant hellhounds were lying next to the pool of blood, eating the corpses in the pool, and on the high platform of the choir in the temple prayer hall, there were actually mountains of corpses, and most of these corpses were townspeople.

Unexpectedly, the hellhounds dragged the corpses of all the town's residents to the temple in order to provide sufficient nourishment for these giant hellhounds.

Then, the magic flare burst in the temple hall, and after the explosion, a dazzling light lit up in the temple hall, and everything in the hall appeared in front of Viscount Emmett's eyes, and Viscount Emmett found that next to the belly of these lying hellhounds in the hall, there were actually some skin tones, and almost every hellhound female lay some dark hellhound cubs next to her.

Of course, if it was just like this, Viscount Emmett would not have rounded his eyes, and he felt a little unbelievable that next to those dark hellhound cubs, there was actually a little devil with devil's horns on his head, the little devil had a small body and a bare tail behind him, some of them looked like kobolds in the wilderness mines, they had the torso and head of the demons, but the limbs were still the claws of the hellhound.

Almost every Hellhound has such a litter of cubs around her, and among these cubs is destined to be a little devil of similar size.

There were several low roars of hellhounds in the temple prayer hall, these hellhounds did not know where the flares came from, several huge hellhounds jumped on top of the highest corpse pile in the hall, and several hellhounds rushed into the courtyard outside the temple hall like a whirlwind, and hundreds of hellhounds around the temple gathered from the gate, they were like a swarm of headless flies, aimlessly searching around the temple.

The flares quickly went out, and the hall went dark.

There was a night owl cry in the hall again, and Viscount Emmett finally figured out where they were coming from.

The knight's scout team quickly ducked into a dark corner of the roof, and Samira carefully lifted the dangling rope into the air, obscuring the last bit of clue.

The scout team hid on the roof for a short while, and Viscount Emmett saw the team of hellhounds leaving the temple and re-guarding the outside, and everything was back to normal in the prayer hall, so he wanted to leave quickly and bring back the news from here.

He gestured to the knights on the roof, ready to slide down the rope, but was stopped by Samira.

The half-elf archer gestured to Viscount Emmett to wait a little longer, and just when Viscount Emmett hesitated a little, a knight in costume beside him ignored Samira's gesture and went straight over Samira, grabbing the rope on the roof and sliding down slowly.

It was only when he was halfway through the slide that he noticed that there were a few more hellhounds in the courtyard behind the temple, and one of them seemed to smell a certain smell, and walked to the corner of the back wall with accuracy, and found the rope hanging from the roof, and their eyes looked up at the rope, but found that there was nothing on the empty rope.

Hellhound sent out the roar of the police, the hellhound in the front yard rushed over, a giant hellhound saw the rope, bared its huge fangs and roared at the roof, with the roar of the giant hellhound, the hellhounds around the temple did not hesitate to follow the stone wall built by the bluestone strips, and quickly jumped onto the roof, they climbed the stone wall as if they were walking on the ground.

Although it was caused by the carelessness of the knight in disguise, but the matter had come to this point, and now was not the time to complain, Samira took advantage of the fact that the hellhounds had not all rushed up, and hurriedly climbed along the roof of the temple to the square base of the Statue of Liberty, which was surrounded by marble reliefs, and the content of the reliefs was the famous battle of the gods, and countless archangels raised spears in their hands, encircling and suppressing an archdemon in the valley.

The Knight Scout Team of five climbed to the pedestal, the edge of the pedestal was not wide, and the knights were just able to sit on the stone platform on the edge.

As for those hellhounds, they have climbed to the roof, and they sniff around the roof with their keen sense of smell, but along the way, Viscount Emmett has sprinkled man-eating pollen, and the hellhound sneeze again and again after smelling the pollen, and the most trusty nose has lost its effect.

Under the cover of night, the knight scout team hidden in the shadows sat quietly at the feet of Lady Liberty, silently watching the hellhounds return in vain.

A giant vicious dog climbed onto the roof of the temple and stood on the highest ridge, letting out a deafening roar into the night sky.

The hellhounds of the city howled along with each other, and for a moment the whole town was enveloped in a roar.

……

Surdak and Andrew were crouching on the roof of a dwelling, watching the Hellhounds around the temple, and when they saw a burst of fire erupting from the temple building, followed by a large influx of Hellhounds, they had a premonition that something was wrong.

However, the two of them lost the protection of the secondary invisibility potion, and they did not dare to approach the temple easily, so they could only do it on the roof of the house.

Then, Surdak heard a giant hellhound standing on the roof of the temple and let out an angry roar, which only made Surdak's mood relaxed, and the anger of the hellhound only showed that they had not found the scout team.

Surdak asked the Nanai natives beside him, "Andrew, what secrets do you say the temple is hidden?" ”

The Nanai Native Warrior said humbly, "In short, it can't be a hell passage or a demon gate. ”

……

The half-elf archer leaned against an angelic relief, her head tilted to look up at the night sky shrouded in dark clouds.

In Viscount Emmett's vision, only the vague outline of the half-elf archer could be seen, and she looked calm and elegant sitting under the statue, but there was a world of difference between the elven half-blood and the pure-blooded elven race in the Grimm Empire.

The existence of the half-elves in the imperial society means that some of the descendants born after the union of the elf slaves who were abandoned or escaped by the slave owners and humans, these half-elves do not have the protection of aristocratic families, and they are usually not recognized by the normal society, but this time I have to say that Surdak has a very accurate vision of people, if it were not for the half-elf archers, maybe the knight reconnaissance team would have been wiped out at this moment.

Seeing the hellhounds jumping from the roof of the temple, the temple was once again restored to its former tranquility.

The half-elven archer lightly jumped off the statue's pedestal, stood on the ridge and looked around, before returning and beckoning the knights to come down from the statue's pedestal, this time she chose to tie the rope to a fine iron arrow, and then took the forest bow to a tall fir tree outside the wall, and shot the arrow, the steel arrow with a thin cord driven into the trunk with precision.

The half-elf archer straightened the cord and tied it to the base of the statue, and without waiting for Viscount Emmett to speak, he took out a dagger, the grip of which had a small iron hook at the end, and Samira held the dagger in her back, and with a slight leap of the hook on the cord, her body crossed the night sky lightly, and plunged headlong into the fir tree outside the courtyard.

Using this thin rope as a traction, Samira then pulled a thicker rope over and re-tied it to the fir tree.

Wait for the four knights on the opposite ridge to row over one by one.

In the quiet of the night, there was a crisp 'click' sound on the roof of the temple, and a knight in costume accidentally stepped on a piece of green tile. Falling to the ground and shattering, the sound of the tiles shattering could be heard far away......
