Chapter 1008 The Final Winner (Twenty-Two)
Erasing the traces on the ice, Andrew looked at the flames in front of him and calculated the next things and steps in his head. The first thing was to hide himself. In his opinion, both were guys with extremely keen sense of smell and were not allowed to make any mistakes. The first thing he did after being discovered was that he was most likely to be attacked by two ferocious wolves.
It was absolutely unbearable. Andrew smiled involuntarily, making him seem a little weird when he didn't speak by the fire. But as long as the wolf is still an animal and has not evolved into a human, he will never be able to escape the fate of being slowly domesticated or hunted. This is a sentence from Andrew's favorite book. He thinks he is very similar to the author of the book, at least in terms of ideas.
Soon after, he left the fire and ordered the captain to select more than 30 of the more than a hundred people to form another team. This is the person who needs to follow him as a guarantee to seize the opportunity. The rest is used as follow-up fire support or an obstacle to delay time.
Almost overnight, Andrew let the more than 70 people leave the resting place before dawn, scattered to collect information from nearby areas, and waited for news with the main troops. Distance would probably be the best way to hide. Andrew believed this and took every step carefully.
In the white snow-cold world, a total of ten people were hiking on the ridges of snow. A large backpack with enough supplies was hung on the back, and a long windbreaker that could automatically mimic was uniformly covered with a waist, but it was only tied to the body, and the inner lightweight metal zipper seemed to prevent most of the cold from the outside.
Occasionally, the sound of slitting on the loose rocks was heard. In addition, only the slight friction between the clothes were left by the ten people, as well as the sound of breathing without any concealment or suppression.
It took about an hour to cross the wide ridge area where the comic was unfolding. The person walking in the front of the team seemed to know that the person behind him might be tired. He looked around and led the team to a low-lying area with huge rocks. He chose a relatively hidden location and ordered the rest.
"Nonoska!" someone shouted, walked out of the team, handed over the food, and looked at the dark clouds in the sky with Nonoska. "The temperature dropped a lot the day before yesterday. I think it was probably related to the Endless Sea, but I don't know if it will affect what we are going to do."
"Probably not. I just go and see an inconspicuous ancient ruins. If you copy the things there, you will be considered as completing the task. Compared to another thing that has no clue now, it is very easy." Nonoska sighed, "Hilarelli, we have gone from the ocean-going giant ship Venetès to the Common Country of the Far Seas, and then after two or three weeks, it has been several months since we arrived in the Sandorag Empire."
It seemed that he was infected by Nonoska's sigh, and Hillary Li showed the same expression: "When I received the notice while I was on vacation at home, I knew this would not be a good thing."
"The target is in the same area as us." As if he was joking, Nonoska laughed first, "but there was still no way. The protection personnel next to him were enough to make trouble, and it was even more impossible to sneak in. Fortunately, the Chilis family found the target and could start taking action when the assessment was over."
"It depends on Chilman's work. He is responsible for the intelligence and information processing. I hope that after returning this time, our investigation results and his achievements can at least make the people in the Khan country shut their mouths. They chased them too tightly and rushed too quickly. Not only can they not provide any help, but they will make some people make mistakes due to time issues. If they are not in the Khan country, they will make mistakes here, which will lead to the hunting of the power of this empire."
"It's actually good to drag like this. The fatigue accumulated from the last long voyage has not completely disappeared. From time to time, I will vaguely hear the sound of waves slamming against the hull while resting." Nonosca retracted his gaze and looked at Hillary Lily, and the topic also changed. "The Chilis family has deteriorated a little bit under the influence of the imperial environment for a long time. I was worried that they could survive until our mission was completed before they completely withdrew from the control of the Church. To be honest, I was also worried about Chilman. There were hundreds of thousands of people who arrived at the Common Country of the Far Sea on the Venetus, most of whom came in advance. As the personnel who were preparing for the early investigation of the war, less than thousands of people who had the same mission as us. Compared with the Chilis family who had already survived and laid roots in the empire, it was not worthy of praise at all."
"So I have always said that this is not a good errand. It seems that the task is very clear - bringing the target's body back intact, except that the brain can be properly destroyed. In the church, this is of course very simple, but here is the Santo Dorag Empire, and it is difficult enough to just determine the general information and location of the target. It is not clear yet the strength and danger of the target, but the contemporary pope personally issued an order, and it is not difficult to see the difficulty of the task itself."
"It seems like a hunting operation with relatively harsh conditions at this moment, but when it is really faced, it may become a battle of firepower with the army." Nonoska recalled bad things, with an inexplicable smile, as if it was aftertaste, but also as if it was scared.
"Just like we set out on a long fleet a few decades ago." Hillary Lily sighed several times, and her voice changed at this time. She was learning from the sharp voice of a commander who had not boarded the ship when the fleet set sail. "This is for the exploration of the country and even for humanity. We will see all kinds of new things, just record them,,,,"
After learning a few words, I found that I never wanted to say anything again. Hillary Lily finally put an end to it: "Fortunately, this commander died in the church during our voyage of more than 30 years. Otherwise, I would definitely not be the only one who wanted to live. I wanted to kill him."
As the evening approached, a small team of ten people passed by several peaks again while moving forward. It was very unsafe at night, so Nonoska chose to let the team rest in the cave.
By the fire, he took out the map to compare the current location of the team: "The journey is over in half a day." He pointed to the circled position on the map, which was a huge mountain. The map shows that it is several times the size of most peaks. There are more than a dozen such peaks on this map, while there are hundreds of other smaller peaks.
Another drawing that looks like a steam mechanical structure pattern shows that there is a semicircular void at the top of the mountain, where the twinkling cross stars represent that there is a violent and strong light flashing in the semicircular void. There are also band-shaped rays to indicate that strong light emits from the cross stars, surveying the thick clouds and disappearing into the sea where the island communities are swollen.
