With this guess, Wei Ling and Wan Tong also completed the search in other directions, and preliminarily ruled out the existence of danger.

Receiving the information from Welling's guess, they all converged.

The general left and asked the palace to suspend the scanning and judgment of the "mountain ghost", and the repair can be postponed:

"Shougong, you have over-the-horizon, let's go up the ridge and take a look!"

Several people climbed vigilantly to the top of the mountain.

Halfway through, they found a few more drops of blood on rocks and bush branches.

Soon, they reached the top of the mountain, and they all prostrate themselves and slowly turned their heads over the largest rock to look at the other side of the ridge.

The other side of the ridge is on the sunny side, and in such rock and soil conditions, vegetation is even more scarce, and there is snow in some cols.

On the broken rocks, there are enough traces of passage.

The trails went all the way down, through a stream at the foot of the mountain, and disappeared into the bushes of the flat land in the distance.

The compound eye system of the palace began to be adjusted to long-distance reconnaissance.

The synchronized images of the three also seem to have the telescope's over-range vision.

Their gaze seemed to go beyond a few kilometers, countless bushes flickering illusory in front of them, until they finally came to a stop by an empty river.

It was a cobblestone river flat, and a few people stayed there.

Shougong increased the magnification to the maximum, and everyone's eyes were as if they were looking at those people up close.

There were five people in that group, tall and thin, with red, brown and white hair.

Judging from their faces, they are all typical Xixuan people, and two of them are brown people, thin and short.

One is red-haired and blue-eyed, particularly tall and majestic, estimated to be more than two meters tall.

There are also two white, typical Ansa white devils among the Xixuan people, with high eyebrows, a more three-dimensional face, and more body hair.

The most important thing is that almost none of those people have exoskeleton armor, and the particularly tall one is close to shirtless.

They left all kinds of long and short weapons with them, and seemed to be discussing the itinerary and replenishing their physical strength by the way.

Right next to them, there was a pile of things, and Jiang Li and Wantong recognized at a glance that they were several sets of forcibly dismantled "Bobcat Type IV" exoskeletons.

Jiang Li and the others understood that the enemy was preparing to bring these devices back and repair them through various channels, and by the way, erase the original identification system so that they could be used.

On one side of those exoskeletons, there was a corpse that had long since lost its life.

The corpse's clothes were stripped naked, and one arm was already in the hands of the big man who was more than two meters tall, and he kept sending it to his mouth to bite!

"Cannibalism!"

Wan Tong's voice was full of anger.

The message of the departing is very calm:

"They are a group of vagabonds in the Xixuan Federation, known as the Revenants, and when there are many people, they form a team of adventurers.

At present, it seems that their equipment actually has no combat effectiveness, I really don't understand, how did they kill four militiamen at once? ”

Welling suddenly commanded:

"Shougong, the main lens shifts 5.3 mm to the left!"

Welling's mind replayed every detail of the camera shaking just now, and his powerful brain computing power had already made a prediction and issued precise instructions to the palace.

With the camera panning slightly, they saw a sixth person.

It was a short, lanky man with black hair.

The man hid in a dense bush on the edge of the river, his face was painted with stripes of withered yellow and dark green, and his gloomy eyes looked at the five companions indifferently, and the corners of his mouth showed a clear curvature of disdain.

The little black-haired man had no weapons by his side, but he wore a dark green robe that was very different from the others, and there was a one-piece hat on the robe, but the hat did not completely block his black hair.

The color of the dark green robe made the man almost invisible in the bushes.

The voice of the general departure sounded coldly in the sea of people's knowledge:

"This person should be a member of the Ying clan among the various clans of Xixuan, we call him the Ying Demon, who looks similar to the Great Xia clan, but is actually a member of the Xixuan Federation."

Welling's additional information:

"I suspect he's a warlock, and a warlock of the wood spirits."

The distance was too far for him to tell which line of warlocks the other party belonged to through the Source Spirit World.

But his intuition told him that the other party was Mu Ling's, and there was no truth in this speculation.

Calm Analysis:

"It would make sense if there were Warlocks with them, they should have sneaked up on the patrol while they were disarming and resting.

The Warlock then launched a surprise attack, briefly controlling the patrol's mobility, then covering it with heavy fire, paralyzing the supply platforms, and then charging at a rapid pace, allowing the melee demons to attack at close range! ”

Welling pondered for a moment, pondering the battle situation that would be inferred, and then made a suggestion:

"We can do the same and make a detour from the side of the hill and stay within two hundred meters of each other, and you see, there are some more dense bushes over there.

The sun is going down at this moment, and we will act again in the middle of the night, anyway, both of your exoskeleton helmets are equipped with night vision function, which will not affect the movement. ”

Will be noncommittal:

"Shougong, can you connect to the barrier?"

"It's not possible to connect here, but it's out of bounds of the barrier."

Will leave some hesitation:

"Brother Welling, the biggest problem is that even if we lurk in the past, within five hundred meters of them, we can ensure that the other party will not find out.

However, within two hundred meters, the probability of being spotted increases! There are 6 of them, and at least one mobile post will be set up. ”

Welling was a little unwilling, and analyzed it for Jiang Li and Wan Tong:

"No, I've looked at their equipment, it's relatively backward, and I haven't seen any night vision devices.

Moreover, that warlock, the intuition given to me, is not high-level, most of them are beginners, and there is a high probability that they will not find the danger from fifty meters away, and I can just lock him at this distance.

In terms of time, from the time the enchantment system discovered that the team was missing, to the fact that they had only walked less than ten kilometers now, such a long time, they had only moved their heavy armor away from such a short distance, indicating that their physical fitness may not be as good as they imagined.

When they were not too far from the Imperial Barrier and their safety was not guaranteed, they not only did not abandon the heavy armament they had gained, but also prepared to camp and rest, indicating that their vigilance was not high and their military literacy was limited.

In the same way, the heavy armed armor that they had carried before, which caused them to consume a great amount of physical energy, and the rest of the night, except for the people on duty at night, must have fallen asleep deeply, which is very conducive to our assault! ”

Welling's analysis of the information is dispelling the concerns of the imminent departure little by little.

The setting sun hides the last of its crimson behind the distant mountains, and there are still some bright sunsets left in the sky.

Against the backdrop of the sunset, the face armor of the general looks a little hideous.

Listening to Welling's analysis, the heavens and men in the heart of the separation are at war.

His own team was destroyed back then, and this time when he encountered a team that was also destroyed, the conflict between hatred and reason, blood and tactical rules, made it impossible for him to make a decision easily.

Wan Tong also has his own opinion:

"Brother Jiangli, except for that warlock, the firepower of those people, even if they are prepared, they can't hold on for five seconds under the full firepower attack of you, me and Shougong, let's do it!"

The opinion of the guard, precise and calm:

"Purely from the level of equipment, there is a clear generation gap between us and them."

The opinion of guarding the palace was thrown out, which made Welling a little surprised.

When does the intelligent machine platform also have its own ideas?

Shouldn't they just be at command?

"It's done!"

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment and made up his mind.

The three people and one platform immediately returned the same way.

According to previous detections, while the sky was not completely dark, it made a detour along the ridge.

When night fell, they made a detour through a gap in the ridge, easily crossed the stream, and slowly marched upstream of the target point.

Halfway through, Shougong also looked sideways to investigate, and found that the other party had already lit a fire, and it seemed that he had really decided to camp in the same place.

They put their minds at ease, since the enemy will not run, then move slowly and do not alarm the other party.

Welling guessed in his heart, probably the other party would not have thought that the Empire's militia patrol would cross the range supported by the enchantment system and launch a night attack on them.

Eventually, in the direction they were moving slowly, the small river appeared, and the river's edge, of course, was also paved with pebbles and fine sand.

Welling looked down the river and could see the flickering fire in the night not far away.

Judging the direction of the wind, it was not facing the direction of the enemy, and Welling was more assured.

Sometimes, if there is a warlock in the enemy who is good at smelling and smells the opponent's breath from the wind, then it is dangerous.

"Be on guard first, recover your strength, and then slowly approach at midnight!"

Will leave the message.

Then, he looked at the eastern sky with some concern, worried that the moon would be too bright tonight.

Fortunately, the situation did not worry Jiang Li too much, although there was a moon, but there were also many clouds.

The moon travels through the clouds, flickering and darkening, making it easy to move.

……

Midnight.

Wei Ling and the others had already lurked five hundred meters away from the fire, and the palace guard scanned the periphery, but did not find the hidden sentry and the secret sentry.

At 400 meters, no secret sentry was found.

At a distance of 300 meters, the "Lynx IV" was armed with infrared night vision devices on its helmet, and it was already possible to vaguely spot four enemies lying and sleeping randomly next to the fire.

On a stone beside the fire, sat a large man, with little by little head, presumably assigned to be on duty for the night, but it seemed that he was too sleepy.

And what about a warlock?

Jiang Li and Wan Tong were in the night vision device, and neither found each other.

"Guard the palace, scan with an ultrasound machine!"

Welling was a little surprised, could this guy still be able to lower his body temperature to the ambient temperature?

The key is that at this distance, Welling is not yet able to detect with the "Heart Eye", that is, through the spiritual disturbance of the Source Spirit World.

"The ultrasound image shows the result, and there is still no other party!"

The three of them looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Without finding the warlock, the outcome of the assault is unknown.

Welling thought about it for a moment and made a decision:

"In this way, you are here to prepare, and as soon as you find out that there is a fire in my hand, you will immediately launch an assault!"

The voice message of the departure is very calm:

"How can you be kept safe?"

"As long as that little man is alive, he is within a hundred meters, and he has nothing to hide in front of me!"

Jiang Li groaned for a moment:

"In this way, we will lurk for nearly 50 meters, so that the information support of the palace can cover you, and if there is a problem, you can directly lose the package, and we will launch an assault!"

Welling is very simple:

"Okay, I'll go first!"

Immediately, he bent down and slowly touched it.

If you look at Welling up close, you will see that Welling is actually with his eyes closed.

Of course, the two of them are behind Welling, so they naturally can't see it.

Welling himself also knew that his warlock ability level was not enough, and he still needed to close his eyes and concentrate on the observation of the Source Spirit World, and he would not be able to do so in the future.

In the dark and dreary world of the Source Spirit, everything is as if it were transparent, and in the depths of the dark sea, some thin and complicated lines are outlined.

As the distance approached, as Welling approached the opposing group about 100 meters, Welling finally spotted the transparent outline of the sixth humanoid.

That cunning guy turned out to be next to the big man on duty at night.

He dug a hole in the river beach and sat in the pit himself, which was warm and well hidden, and was not afraid of all kinds of detection scans.

Send the opponent's position to the general Wantong and the palace guard, and give them a signal to prepare.

Jiang Li and Wan Tong nodded.

Then, Welling launched an act that stunned Jiangli and Wantong.

Welling straightened up and ran as fast as he could!

Every point of his footsteps landed on the pebbles between the grains of sand, and without making a sound, he had already rushed to a position less than thirty meters away from the big man in the blink of an eye!

The strange wind driven by the sleeves has already alarmed the big man!

He turned his head and opened his eyes wide, revealing an incredible look, and the hideous horizontal flesh on his face seemed to have no time to change.

In the darkness of the night, he actually saw a tall, thin young man, dressed in the black robe of an imperial warlock, and pounced like a fly!

What caught his eye was the bright, emotionless eyes!
