Chapter 12 The Kingdom on the Hill (2)

The tranquility of Saquin's early morning was disturbed by the slowly approaching Lizardmen army. The merchants in the camp were clamoring to leave, but no mercenary would open the closed door for them now.

"What should I do now? Hongyan and Jifeng have taken out the mission. The three left-behind regiment battle lions were wiped out. The two of our regiments have the worst strength and are no match for those monsters at all." Silver Wind's regiment commander Sur looked at the Lizardman army that was constantly getting closer to the camp. Although he knew that they would not attack immediately, he was still worried about the people in the entire camp.

Saquin is just an ordinary camp, no more than those fortresses built specifically for defense.

It's okay to fight against some traversing bandits and small groups of monsters, but... the camp without the main force cannot fight against tens of thousands of lizard men.

and……

"I know what you are worried about, Sur." What the Silver Wind Commander was really worried about was the border defense team of the nearby Three Kingdoms. The commander of the Crazy Wolf, Wick, had a worried expression on his face.

Although Saquin, as a mercenary camp, did not interact with each other with three nearby posts, he often joined forces in dealing with lizards.

But now the direction of the Lizardman is in the direction of Bora's outpost, which does not mean that the small fortress with a thousand troops has been lost.

In this way, the other two outposts would not be well, otherwise how could the Lizardman come to Saquin with a swagger?

"Captain Suk, they stopped." He pointed to the mercenary who stopped advancing not far from the camp and reported the mercenary.

"The Lizardmen did not attack immediately, which means they were still waiting for the gathering of all the troops. You still have time... find a few people to ask for reinforcements from Slan." Croatia, who had climbed up the sentry, suggested to the two anxious regiment commanders.

"Seeking help?"

"Yes, it seems that Bora's fortress is over. The other two probably won't last long. They just waited to clear the troops stationed at the outposts of Daiha and Ankar. The next target of these lizard men is your camp. I believe you know their bad habits, too."

"I know..." The two regiment leaders didn't know what the "bad habit" mentioned by the female archer in front of them meant.

However, Slan is just an ordinary small village, so why should he go there to ask for help? Even if he wants to go there, it is the nearest Shamiyek, which is a big city. The troops can at least slightly relieve the pressure brought by the lizards, and then ask for help from nearby provinces and counties. Only when the army arrives can these lizards return to their hometown in one fell swoop.

"Oh, don't you know, there is a temple of the Goddess of Destiny there, and the soldiers stationed in the garrison are several times more than the Three Kingdoms outposts. Of course, it goes without saying that the combat power is, the ability of a temple knight is often better than that of five ordinary soldiers." The two mercenary commanders of Saquin didn't know that there was a temple nearby, which surprised Moya, who was disguised as an ordinary person.

"No...we know, but ordinary people are forbidden to approach. There was a precedent before, when a wanted criminal crossed the border, but when he approached the temple, the guards who pursued him were killed by the guardian knights." Wick said what they knew.

Slan is a small village in Ankar, and no one is allowed to enter outside the country. This is something Saquin and nearby outposts know.

Moya frowned slightly when he heard the mercenary commander's explanation.

Yes, "a secret place".

She also knew what was hidden in the temple hidden in the small mountain village - where the second seal was.

A temple that requires worship by believers will only hide its address when placing holy tools or important documents.

The Goddess of Destiny is the second main god who is responsible for guarding the nine seals besides Frost.

It was very surprising that the goddess of fate among the three gods of time among the main gods would actually be the guardians of the Second Temple, which made Moya, who came to the small village with the already weak magic power of the Dead King, not immediately entered the temple.

Unlike Frost, which had been severely damaged in the last Dark War, the goddess of fate, Yajiel, never easily participated in any war, but she was very stubborn about sealing. If she personally ordered the guard, it would be very difficult to enter and seize the second seal stored in that place.

Especially when the identity is not exposed, it is even more difficult.

However, Moya is now beginning to be glad that this Lizardman army has arrived.

They can definitely contribute to breaking the iron wall protection of the temple.

As long as the mercenaries lead all the merchants to escape to the temple when they cannot support them, the lizardmen will definitely chase them. Once they are led there, the best time for her to sneak in when she is busy dealing with this barbaric army.

I originally wanted to explore any information that could be used, but I didn't expect to encounter a lizardman raiding Saquin's mercenary camp, which could allow all these merchants to escape there.

"Have you thought of any good idea?" Sistaer, who transformed into a white elf, noticed Moya's excitement.

"Well... I thought of a good idea." A month of time wasted, Moya knew that his blind search was finally over.

In order to hide her identity, she and Sistaer specially formed a bloody mercenary group that was doing nothing. The miscellaneous mercenary from the North Continent was reorganized into a new mercenary group under the integration of Moya.

Before I could figure out what name to choose, the Double Leaf badge, which is the identity mark of the group leader, was automatically called by people.

After being established for a month, people have forgotten that this newly-established mercenary group actually has a good name, "Troublemaker" and "Shuangye" have become synonymous with it.

"Do you need help?" Looking at Sur and Wick with a sad face, Moya knew that it was time to use these humans to achieve her own goals.

Originally, she was just relying on her weak magic to find the nearby one, but the large number of Templar Knights made her lurk several times and failed.

There are extremely strong barriers arranged near the temple, and those who have powerful magic power like her cannot sneak in quietly.

"What you said is to escape to that temple, right?" Wick seemed to guess what Moya said quickly, but he did not agree with doing so.

The merchants have no ability to fight. If they ask them to lead the lizard man over, they will not be able to save their lives. How could these smart people agree to do such a loss-making business?

"So, Wick. Send a few agile people in your regiment to the nearby villages and Shamiyek for help. I will take some of my men to see if I can lead the Lizardman's vanguard troops to that temple." Seeing that the small groups of Lizardman who came to harass and provoke had already arrived near the camp, Sur could only barely give it a try.

He also knew that there were a large number of elite knights stationed in the temple, but if he did not have the ability to protect himself, even if he led the lizard man over, soldiers or merchants who acted as bait would die and even be unable to complete the task.

Just as Sur named the soldiers in his regiment one by one as bait to lure the enemy, Moya stepped forward and recommended himself.

"Let's try it out, you still have the responsibility to stay in the camp."

The mercenaries who were named all stared at the two men who were going to take over their mission with pale and fearful expressions.

"What did you say?"

"Captain Sur, the Lizardmen will not attack the camp before the large force assembles. As for the more than ten scouts outside the door, they are just a means for them to observe the strength of the camp. If you take action rashly, you will definitely be seen through by the other party that you do not have enough troops to defend. This will only allow the Lizardmen to attack early." Moya's words hit the chests of the two regiment commanders like a heavy hammer.

Indeed, they also have such concerns, but...

"Don't worry, leave it to us. Although it is impossible to fight so many lizard people with the power of two, it is not difficult to anger and lead them away." He jumped down from the whistle tower confidently and blew a whistle. A rapidly moving object immediately flew out of a big tree at the outpost, and caught Moya and Sistale who were about to land.

"Flying Dragon?"

The mercenary widened his eyes. In front of him was a strong flying dragon with wide wings. If it weren't for the huge sharp one on his head, Suer might have mistakenly thought this big guy for an ordinary subspecies flying dragon.

"It's the demon dragon... They can actually catch the adult demon dragon that is only in the Abyss Demon Realm..."

"What, the magic dragon! Isn't it a flying dragon?" Wick was surprised at Sur's words. He looked carefully and found that it was indeed different from an ordinary flying dragon.

The one in front of me is not only much larger than an ordinary flying dragon, but also has many different appearances.

"Let's go, Luci, let those four-legged lizardmen see your power." Under Moya's scolding, the demon dragon stretched out its wings and rushed towards the lizardmen scout who began to panic due to its appearance.

The lizard men who seemed to be communicating in their own languages ​​shouted at each other, throwing the spears and bows in their hands off huge black shadows that were flying towards them.

Unfortunately, the hard scales of the magic dragon resisted these tickling attacks. Lu Qi opened his mouth and a corrosive liquid with a strong sour smell spewed out. The lizard people who were sprayed made a shrill cry. The soft scales on their bodies could not resist the strong acid, and the corrosive acid melted the skin and muscles, revealing white bones.

"Attack! Attack!! Tear our enemies apart!"

Seeing the scouts being attacked, the commander behind angrily waved his weapon in his hand, pointed at the ferocious demon dragon and roared.

The Lizardman's army had a team in armor on both sides of the left and right wings. Their equipment was not only far superior to the scouts, but also much larger. It was obviously the Lizardman's elite troops.

"Here... Luci. Go to the temple yesterday. Hurry!" Seeing that the troops behind began to move, Moya immediately asked the demon dragon holding her and Sistaer to turn and fly west.

Under the temptation of deliberately slowing down, this Lizardman striker, who had several white men, approached the temple hidden in the valley little by little.

I noticed that a large number of living organisms were approaching, and the temple priests who were meditating in the prayer room opened their eyes.

The illusion ball of light placed in the prayer room specially used to warn emits dazzling flashes, which is the best proof that an alien invader has entered the scope of the temple.

"Guards, gather together, there are invaders!!"

As the priest shouted, knights in stone-green armor gathered together, pulled out war horses from the stables, and ran towards the direction the priest pointed.

"The guards of the temple are coming out."

Sistaer, who was better at seeing something happening in the temple, immediately told Moya who was still shooting with the magic bow in his hand.

"Are you here... okay, let them fight each other, and we can also understand the strength of both sides." patted Luchi's head, Moya signaled it to continue to lead the lizardman to fly towards the temple guards.
