The moonlight tonight is very hazy, making people feel a dark and gloomy atmosphere. Coupled with the screams of night owls, it makes people panic at night. But outside the temple, a group of people are plotting.
There were many people standing around them with weapons, alertly observing the surroundings. In addition, there were more than twenty carriages covered with canvas. The transport vehicles disguised as caravans arrived in the evening, and were caught by McClun himself.
It was arranged here. The nearly forty people brought here naturally gathered together.
"Dole, take your people to subdue the guards in the temple. Don't use guns. Just take them down one by one quietly. I don't want to see any unexpected situations. After taking control of the temple, Bill is optimistic about the signal. As long as there is a signal, he will immediately drive the carriage
Come here."
It was McClun who was speaking, and he was assigning tasks to people one by one.
The people responsible for subduing the temple, the people responsible for the response, and the people responsible for finding the treasures. The more than 70 people of Ling Ling Zongzong were clearly arranged by him, and Cosentz also sat next to him and listened carefully. Although he was still
There was no arrangement for him.
Without keeping him waiting long, after arranging the others, McClun said to Cosentz on the side. "Now you take the people who can explode and follow me. As for the others, let them be on guard."
As McClun finished assigning tasks, the people who had received the tasks immediately made preparations.
Hooks, hand crossbows, buckles, cables, etc. were all hung on his body. After seeing that they were all ready, McClun waved his hand. "Let's go."
So a large number of people disappeared into the night.
"Cuckoo."
The Padmanabhaswamy Temple was unusually quiet at night. Except for the guarding monks, everyone else was resting.
A visiting Hindu monk walks in the temple holding a lamp.
Suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from the darkness and grabbed his neck. With a click, the monk fell softly. The lamp and wooden stick in his hand also fell to the ground.
After the monk fell, several masked men in night clothes moved his body away, including the fallen lamps and wooden sticks. Everything fell into a terrifying silence.
Scenes like this were happening all over the temple, whether they were monks or temple prostitutes, they were all killed one after another. The attackers were cruel and clever, and many people passed away without knowing why.
Of course, it is unrealistic to just kill everyone silently, so after a monk who woke up at night discovered the intruder and shouted loudly, everyone in the temple was awakened. Since they were alerted, then
No need to worry about means.
So when the monks armed with all kinds of cold weapons appeared in front of them, the attackers had already changed into firearms. After a burst of gunfire, the temple fell into silence again, with only gunshots popping up from time to time, and a tragic sound.
Call.
Fortunately, the temple was quite far away from the surrounding villages, so no one noticed the gunfire. However, the smell of blood could no longer be concealed.
"Okay, it's time for us to go in."
Seeing the signal given in the temple, McClun immediately led Cosenz and others directly into the temple.
Dole, who was responsible for cleaning the temple, walked over with a bloody smell and reported.
"A total of 37 people were dealt with."
"I know, please be vigilant to prevent any fish from slipping through the net."
After ordering his men, McClun said to Ethel beside him. "Take us to the two empty secret rooms you found. Others will open the other four secret rooms and move away all the valuables. Call the transportation team."
"Okay, Captain."
So under the leadership of Ethel, McClun and his team quickly arrived at one of the empty secret rooms.
This time, everyone illuminated the secret room brightly.
"Everyone, look for it and see if there is any difference."
After watching it, McClung immediately ordered others to look for any abnormalities in the secret room.
"Captain, something is different here."
It’s good to have more people, and soon some people will notice the difference in the secret room.
McClun rushed over immediately and found that there were indeed differences here. There was a slight difference in color between a boulder and other boulders in the chamber. If you looked closely, you could see that the filling materials for the small seams were also different.
This huge boulder weighs several tons at first glance, and it cannot be pushed by manpower. In the past, it would have taken a lot of effort and time, but in this era of rapid technological development, it does not have to be so troublesome. Although direct blasting cannot be used
method, but who had prepared McClun in advance? In addition to Cosenz and others, he also brought blasting experts.
"Cosentz, ask your people to prepare to assist Barr in the blast."
At this time, Cosenz's manpower will be needed, and Cosenz will certainly not refuse.
"Ok, no problem."
When Cosentz, Barr and others were making preparations for the explosion, McClun, as the captain, certainly would not let others watch.
"Continue to observe and see if there are any other differences."
As for Cosentz, a few people quickly drilled holes in the rocks, then quickly put in the expansion agent, and then added water. After a few minutes, only a bang was heard, and the boulder was split into many pieces.
Much easier to handle.
After a group of people moved the stones away, a dark hole appeared in front of them.
"Wait a minute."
McClun grabbed one of his men who was eager to enter, took a torch from the others and threw it in. The torch was quickly extinguished.
"There is lack of oxygen inside, let's wait and go in again."
After waiting for almost half an hour, everyone entered. As soon as they entered the cave, everyone was stunned. A large number of gold ornaments were piled up like a mountain, the most conspicuous of which was a tall golden elephant with a person on it. In addition, on the side, there were
There are a lot of boxes stacked here.
Everyone was mesmerized by this golden color, with fascinated expressions on their faces.
McClun stepped forward and pried open a box, which was full of various gold coins.
"Have someone come in and prepare to move out."
McClun's words made everyone at the scene look away. Although they were still a little reluctant, they also knew that this wealth did not belong to them.
Then they moved the treasures onto horse-drawn carriages and transported them away. To do this, they demolished the temple gates to facilitate the entry of horse-drawn carriages.
In addition to the secret room treasures discovered by McClun, there were also discoveries in other secret rooms. A large number of gold and silver coins and their products were piled up like mountains. The empty carriages responsible for transporting them entered the temple one after another. When they went out, the axles of the axles were pressed.
It has to be crunchy.
This situation lasted until dawn, and the fully loaded convoy drove away leaving a mess on the ground.
This time, more than fifty tons of gold and silver treasures were looted from the temple, which weighed down more than seventy carriages.
Among them, there are more than 30 tons of gold and its accessories, and 20 tons of silver coins and their accessories.
The most eye-catching one is a life-size golden Buddha statue. This Buddha statue lies on its side on a snake body. It took a lot of effort to move it onto the carriage.
There are also a large number of diamonds and gems, also weighing hundreds of kilograms, with a total value of 600 million lire (don’t think it’s small, it’s 24 million pounds). This wealth is a great addition to Italy.
