If you have particularly good eyesight and are particularly careful, you may be able to spot a slight strange flash of light on the snowy mountain dozens of kilometers away from time to time.
That's the glint of the telescope in the sunlight.
It's a pity that Luo Er was ignorant when he was young. He played StarCraft and was not such a meticulous man, so he naturally couldn't find it.
Halfway up the mountainside of a snow-capped mountain, in a relatively gentle place, a small camp was set up. Inside, more than a dozen elves were struggling against the severe cold, waiting for an opportunity to take action.
In fact, Luo Er's previous judgment was not wrong. The conditions here are harsh, the snow does not melt all year round, and the cold mountain wind is more like a knife, which can make people's cheeks hurt, and they will freeze if they stay for a while.
Moreover, there is a strange atmosphere that is difficult to describe in words. It seems that there is some invisible force shrouding the place, which will make those who are close feel some inexplicable palpitations.
This place is indeed not suitable for humans to stay for a long time, let alone camping in such a ghost place, but it is different for elves. The cold here is still within their acceptance range, and the strange power makes them feel at ease.
.
After all, this is the ancient Elf Royal Court, their hometown.
The dozen or so elves were almost motionless, except for using telescopes to observe the situation in the temple from time to time, or taking a bite of dry food that was as frozen as stones, or taking a sip of snow water, like an ice sculpture.
That shows extraordinary patience and discipline.
There is no doubt that this is a well-trained and powerful reconnaissance team.
It wasn't until a puff of dusty mist came out of a certain tent that they all showed some reaction.
The gray mist gradually condensed in mid-air and resembled a dove, and then he spoke in a low Elvish language:
"Our great Majesty issued the latest order..."
This is a unique 'messenger' of the elves. Its form of existence is somewhat similar to the one caught by the little donkey, but the gap in strength, intelligence and integrity is too great. It can be said that they are two completely different species.
Like this one, it can only be used as a pigeon to deliver messages.
Of course, ordinary elves on this patrol team naturally don't know that much.
But the news it conveyed was so serious that the captain of the team could not help but frown.
After it finished delivering the message and dissipated in the air, a member of the team asked in a low voice:
"Captain, the emperor is simply messing with his life. What should we do?"
Other team members also said:
"Not far from here, there are supremely powerful people like demigods sitting there. In front of them, we are almost like little butterflies..."
"Where is our Night Owl? Why didn't he come to help us? Wasn't that plan a great success? It was also said to be a higher existence that transcended demigods..."
When the captain heard these words, he quickly said:
"Don't say such things. No matter how unreasonable the order is, it was issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself. We have no choice but to execute it."
Even so, there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
The emperor's order is really too crazy and outrageous...
He actually asked the people in this team to take back the temple left by the late emperor at all costs, protect the glory of the late emperor, and let the elves embark on the road to rebuild their glory.
Although the current elf emperor is not so smart and capable, and is still relatively young, he has been in this position for more than a hundred years and has made some achievements.
For example, the 'Night Owl' project is said to have achieved remarkable results, allowing the elves to gain a firm foothold near the Pearl Islands without fear of orcs and the like. Moreover, they also have considerable initiative and a strong position, and can vaguely replace the orcs and become an alien alliance.
leader of.
But who knew that he suddenly went crazy and issued such a ridiculous order, forcing this reconnaissance team to attack more than 200 well-equipped regular Imperial troops.
According to the various intelligence collected, the human empire pays special attention to and is keen on various archaeological activities. Basically, it will send high-ranking extraordinary people to sit in. There is no telling what kind of powerful people are hidden in the empire camp below.
The elves, or the entire alien alliance, lost their geographical advantages and large population because they were driven to the remote Pearl Islands. Therefore, whether it is extraordinary combat power, the number of strong men, or the level of science and technology, and military development, they are all in the fourth place.
The weakest among the great forces.
If it weren't for the level 0 sacred objects in hand, humans might have already crossed the ocean to conquer the Pearl Islands and took the beautiful elves as playthings.
Under such a background, a small reconnaissance team is instinctively weak when facing imperial soldiers. It is already very hard to maintain surveillance. Want to counterattack? It is tantamount to courting death.
At this time, the captain muttered again in a low voice:
"Could it be that we really want to cooperate with that human terrorist organization this time?"
The traitorous organization he spoke of was, of course, the infamous Apostolic Organization.
Before this operation, their superiors had vaguely mentioned the apostolic organization, saying that they might cooperate with them in the operation, but the specific content had to wait for higher-level decisions to be made, so that they should keep surveillance first and not alert others.
But in the next few days, they did not receive any new orders. Instead, the Empire noticed their flaws and immediately dispatched more reinforcements, forcing them to stagnate in the harsh snowy mountains.
Even though the elves are in dire straits now, they still have at least some self-respect and pride. Cooperating with a notorious terrorist organization is not an easy decision to make.
After all, it is not a country on earth that likes to support terrorists.
And just when the entire team was feeling worried about the emperor's chaos and considering whether to surrender, one team member suddenly saw a group of humans in black robes approaching them on foot from the ridge on the other side.
From a distance, this group of humans were wearing thin clothes, and they seemed to have only one black robe, which was blown by the fierce mountain wind, as if they would be blown away in the next second.
But their pace was still steady, and it didn't take them long to arrive very close to the camp.
The leader even spoke in less standard Elvish language:
"Don't be nervous, we are allies."
After that, he stretched out his bare arm and made a sign in sign language that only the reconnaissance team knew, indicating that they had contacted their superiors.
When the elf captain saw this, he felt a little complicated.
This group of humans is obviously extraordinary. Being able to walk on this snow-capped mountain has proven that they are extraordinary and their fighting power must be good. With their help, it may be possible to complete the emperor's chaotic destiny.
But this also means that the elves lowered their noble heads and really wanted to cooperate with terrorist organizations.
The elf captain signaled his men to be careful and allowed the other party to get closer before asking:
"Are you the reinforcements?"
"good."
The leader's entire face was hidden under the hood of the black robe, with only a portion of his chin exposed. He took out a document from his arms and handed it to the captain.
This is an order from a superior. It requires the team to fully cooperate with the "Bessie" leader and maintain sufficient respect and courtesy. It also comes with a simple battle plan.
"Attack their patrol first?"
The captain looked at his superior's order and was a little confused.
Just attacking the patrol will have almost no impact on the entire situation. It will also make the opponent more vigilant, and it is likely to call in more reinforcements, which is simply not worth the gain.
The empire's important town, Shuangfeng Fortress, is not far from here. It is very convenient to mobilize reinforcements. There are also a large number of extraordinary beings and two demigods stationed there.
However, the other team leader Bessie gave a reasonable explanation:
"I need to use this small provocation to test out the extraordinary beings hidden in the empire."
"Don't be nervous. I am confident and have a mature response plan for the future."
As he said that, he noticed that the elf captain's expression still looked like he didn't trust himself, so he continued:
"Now that we have cooperated, you should put away your prejudices and arrogance. We have exchanged a lot of precious information and shown enough sincerity."
"Perhaps you can only operate on the border and don't have enough understanding of today's empire? Then I might as well tell you that after the previous great victory, the empire has suffered heavy losses and is no longer strong. Today, they are just
He’s just a paper tiger who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.”
The elf captain listened silently, his facial expression stiff and unchanged due to the cold, but he felt a little disdainful in his heart.
This information is not news at all. The elves had learned the information that the empire suffered heavy losses earlier through the product of the 'Night Owl' project. Otherwise, their team would not have come all the way to find this ghost.
place.
However, this terrorist organization can severely damage a powerful empire, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Perhaps because of this, the higher-ups agreed to cooperate with them.
The elf captain was thinking about it in his mind, and then heard the other party say:
"Once we successfully identify the extraordinary beings in the empire, as long as there are no demigods sitting around, we can easily deal with them, and the remaining ordinary soldiers will pose no threat."
"And the two demigods that the empire apparently placed in Shuangfeng Fortress are also suppressed by our apostles."
"Let's reveal a little more information. The two demigods in Shuangfeng Fortress were affected by our previous great victory and are now in a very bad state. If we take action forcefully, they will probably be killed by our apostles."
Team leader Bessie seemed very confident and a little proud.
Neither the Imperial people nor this group of bumpkin-like elves would have thought that their organization would now have a very clever spy installed in a place like the Imperial Capital, who was their organization's intelligence officer.
The new information this time was provided by him, it is very reliable!
It's a pity that the team leader is only a small leader in the organization and does not know such high-level core personnel. Naturally, he did not expect that the intelligence officer he trusted was the great philanthropist Walsh.
He did provide reliable information to the apostle organization, and the condition of the two demigods in Shuangfeng Fortress was indeed very bad.
But he also followed Ah Da's instructions. If there was a slight movement from the apostolic organization, he immediately sent an anonymous letter to Brand New Life Housekeeping Company.
So Team Leader Bessie didn't know that there was a new spy chief waiting for them here, so he naturally acted very confident.
This confidence infected the elf captain, and he nodded doubtfully, his eyes gradually changing.
To him, the existence of demigods was as high as this snowy mountain, unattainable, and he was in awe from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, there were two demigods sitting not far away from him. Thinking of this, his calves trembled slightly.
If these people can really deal with those two demigods, then it seems like the rest have nothing to fear?
I just don’t know how the ‘apostle’ this person calls him compares to our ‘night owl’?
Then, the two discussed more details, and the conversation became more and more exciting and heated, as if the cold wind on the mountain was not so harsh anymore.
They plan to attack the Imperial patrol team tomorrow morning.
The elf captain has carefully observed the empire's patrol team, and his training level is very average. He also made a ridiculous mistake before. The whole team ran around like headless flies and almost got lost. In the end, he struggled for a long time.
Found the way.
He was also very vigilant. He secretly hung himself not far behind them, but he was not even noticed.
What's even more ridiculous is that there was an undisciplined guy among them who actually left the team alone and ran to catch a small snow leopard, but he failed to succeed in the end.
If he hadn't dared to act rashly, the elf captain would have wanted to attack this ridiculous patrol, for example, secretly follow it and kill the guy who lags behind to catch the little snow leopard.
Although the team returned to normal the next day, they did not get lost again, and the idiot who caught the little snow leopard did not appear again. Maybe he had been shot? But it was enough to make the patrol leave a weak impression.
Therefore, the elf captain felt that he could take down this patrol even without the help of these black-robed men.
Just don't meet the extraordinary beings of the empire.

On Rohr's side, he didn't know yet that the enemy was planning to take action. He was listening to his daughter and Oriana, who had come off the shift, describing today's results and discoveries.
In order to facilitate translation, he also specially asked Yifuya to come to his tent.
Oriana frowned suspiciously when she saw Ivya wearing a hood covering her ears and a mask.
She saw that the translator was a woman, and she should be a great woman.
But she also believes that her future husband will not do anything to let her down.
Therefore, she did not show any hostility, and everyone continued to discuss academic issues together in a friendly manner.

Here is today’s list:
Thanks to Devil Gabriel, A Pig Who Loves Reading, Mu Yi Moying, Super Bear Daddy, Milk Tea Dog and other friends for their generous rewards.
I'm still adjusting, and when I feel better, I'll make up for the missed updates these days.
