On the branches of the moon, a barracks on the edge of the Lonia barracks, there was no light, Chang Hao sat by the window, the moonlight shone on his quiet side face, and the letter raft he had read in his hand began to spontaneously combust out of thin air, turning into a puff of fly ash and dissipating into the air.

Letters from the temple are specially treated and burned as soon as they are read.

The letter made it very clear that this was a rescue mission deep into Mordor, but the rescue target was not the orc nobles who had been guessed in advance, but the Terran mission.

After reading the entire letter, Chang Hao knew that the Orc Kingdom and the Terran Empire were currently in the most harmonious "period of peace" in history, and the two sides began to achieve remarkable results in economic exchanges. Orcs are hungry for human equipment, and humans also need orc furs and precious metals.

Soon, each side sent a mission to each other's territory for a friendly visit, but to everyone's surprise, after entering the territory of the orc kingdom, for some reason, the human mission still deviated from the expected route with the guidance of a guide, and plunged headlong into the territory of Mordor, where it was captured by the army of the undead.

As soon as this matter was reported, it immediately caused an uproar in the political circles of the two countries, and the Terran Empire frequently put pressure on the orc kingdom: if the orcs could not bring back the human mission intact from the undead army, the orc kingdom would become the main culprit in destroying the diplomatic relations between the two countries. At the same time, the Terran Empire detained the orc missions visiting the territory of the Terran Empire, and there was a posture of turning their faces if they didn't agree.

Due to the tense political situation, the orc king Rysac ordered a rescue operation, but due to a lack of relevant experience and a series of major mistakes in on-the-spot decision-making, the previous rescue operations ended in failure. Later, at the suggestion of the staff of the military department, the rescue operation was now carried out with the participation of non-staff professionals from the military department.

Early in the evening, the Wrath of the God of War legion and temple sacrifices had arrived in the city of Lornia. He stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, the wrath of the god of war was worthy of being a legion that Herbert often talked about, not only was it well-equipped, but the whole team gave people a powerful feeling intuitively. This strength is not reflected in the equipment, but in the movements and eyes of those soldiers, which are the eyes that can only be seen after a hundred battles.

The details of the rescue operation were discussed by the Grand Priest Dante at the dinner, and he was more like an old man who had washed his lead after a long time than a legendary priest. He hunched his back slightly, listened to and answered every warrior's questions and suggestions very carefully, without the slightest bit of the usual ostentatious and impatient attitude that ordinary superiors are accustomed to, which is not difficult to explain why he can gain admiration and love among various ethnic groups, because he is really very close to the people.

But Chang Hao deliberately chose to sit in the farthest position from Dante's chief priest at the dinner, even when the high priest Dante personally appointed him as the captain of this operation team, he would rather choose to just stand up and bow slightly, which is a little ignorant action, and did not take the reckless step to walk in front of the legendary high priest and half-kneel to receive the order.

Because Chang Hao knew in his heart that this Dante High Priest had personally experienced the sea and land battles a thousand years ago, and had fought side by side with real elves. He may be able to fool others, but he may not be able to fool the eyes of this wise old man.

He was afraid that if he really got closer, his true identity would be exposed here.

For the sake of that fiefdom, he can't go wrong, at least not here.

At the end of the dinner, Chang Hao received good news and bad news.

The good news is that although the way the High Priest of Dante looks at him is meaningful, his identity has not been revealed, and he can continue to carry out his mission as an elf.

The bad news is that his team has been placed in an Overseer from the Temple.

And it's an iceberg beauty.

Early the next morning, the Wrath of the God of War assembled in the east of Lonia. I have to say that the military headquarters and the temple have invested a lot of money for this rescue operation, and plan to let the Wrath of the God of War legion feint to attack the undead army from the front to attract attention, so that the rescue team covering Chang Hao can avoid the eyes and ears and go as deep into the hinterland of Mordor as possible.

Chang Hao and his entourage packed their luggage and equipment, and everyone was carrying bulging bags. In particular, Xiongba and Mammoth, the mammoth warriors, were in charge of carrying the team's supplies along the way, and the lamb chops and steaks marinated in coarse salt filled several one-person-high sacks on their shoulders, and they looked inexplicably silly.

On the other hand, Chang Hao still had a breeze on his sleeves, and he couldn't find a bag up and down his body, only the extraordinarily slender scabbard on his waist swayed in the wind.

After confirming that everything was correct, Chang Hao nodded, turned over and rode on his war horse, and followed the legions outside the city, and a slender figure followed Chang Hao like a ghost.

The fair woman's name was Anna, and she was the overseer sent by the temple.

Anna belongs to the temple's secret agency called the Shadows, which is said to do things that don't see the light of day. In order to facilitate covert infiltration, they are dressed with a special emphasis on simplicity and tightness.

For example, Anna is dressed in a black tights that accentuates her figure, with a zipper extending from her chest to her thighs, and her posture with her head held high, like a capital S. The slender eye-catching long legs and the cold and pretty face full of raw people are not allowed to enter have a strong chemical reaction, just like the female investigator that can only be seen in some small movies.

Chang Hao can understand the move of the temple to install chess pieces, after all, their gang of people are completely supernumerary personnel to the military department and the temple, and it is one thing to appreciate it, and it is another thing to believe it or not. In order to ensure that the mission can go according to their expectations, it is normal to plant a chess piece.

It's just that Chang Hao didn't expect that the military department and the temple would be quite upright, he originally thought that there would be a double identity secret sentinel among the ten of them, but he didn't expect them to be directly inserted in front of him, which saved him from suspicion.

Chang Hao was riding on his horse and was still thinking about what to do after entering Mordor, when Anna's cold voice sounded in his ears.

"Mr. Legolas, in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of War, I will cooperate with you in the rescue mission as the overseer of the army, I will not interfere with your command, and if necessary, I can provide you with a certain degree of battlefield support. But if you make a decision or act that I believe is contrary to the rescue mission, I will take over the command immediately. Anna turned her head and glanced at Chang Hao, "At the same time as you are taken over the command, you will also die." ”

This girl didn't breathe a lot, did she know how badly Ryan was beaten by him? Xiong Ba followed behind them and pricked up his ears, but he only dared to mutter a few words in his heart.

"The previous rescue operations have ended in failure, and no one has survived, thanks to the indiscriminate decision-making of your temple and the military department, the army of the undead may have been prepared this time. Chang Hao's tone was as plain as water, but between the lines was-for-tat.

"How dare you despise the temple!" said Anna, furious, like a tigress.

"It's just a matter of stating the facts, isn't it possible that Miss Anna wants to tell me that the temple is actually a hall that does not tolerate other voices?" Chang Hao took out a berry from his cuff and threw it into his mouth.

"I—" Referring to the temple image, Anna was momentarily speechless.

Chang Hao took out a few berries from his cuffs and handed them to Anna, and after eating a closed door, he was not annoyed, he threw them all into his mouth in one breath, and said vaguely: "We are companions in a team, instead of arguing here, it is better to share some useful information with me." This kind of secret mission is based on poor information, and if you have enough intelligence, the more valuable it will be at a critical moment. ”

Because of these words, Anna looked at Chang Hao for a long time, and she suddenly spoke, "After the dinner yesterday, the priest Dante said that you are a very smart elf. ”

Chang Hao sighed in his heart, the speaker of this sentence has no intention of listening, there are many ways to understand, but don't be the kind he thinks.

"Do you know why this is a secret rescue mission, but the military headquarters insists on leaving behind the mammoth and elephant warriors who are large and likely to be exposed?" Anna's tone was stiff, but it was no longer as cold as before.

Before Anna's words fell, Chang Hao raised two fingers.

"From your question, I have gathered two useful pieces of information. Chang Hao said: "First, in the rescue operations organized by your military headquarters and the temple in the past, there have been failures due to the lack of powerful orc warriors. ”

"Second, it is a covert infiltration operation, but it still requires powerful orc warriors, and there is more than one person, which most likely means that there are important people in the Terran mission who cannot be abandoned and are difficult to move, and they are likely to be injured, and they need to be carried away by Mamus or Orephon. And the worst-case scenario may also involve a forced breakthrough after being discovered by the enemy, am I right?" Chang Hao shook his fingers and smiled brightly.

Anna was stunned. She had heard that elves were intelligent races that were good at thinking, but she never imagined that she would just ask a question angrily and be hit to the point.

The most terrifying thing is that this elf guessed everything correctly!

It dawned on her that this might be the most promising rescue operation since the previous failures.
