Chapter 81: Ambush Plan
Inside Xiahe Village.
Beneath the largest temple was a colossal altar of an evil god.
The chief priest was the garrison captain of this place.
A year ago, his wife was captured by goblins.
When they found her again, she had become a breeding ground for goblins.
When he found his wife inside the cave.
The garrison captain has gone mad.
He raised his longsword and began hacking and slashing at the goblins.
Finally exhausted, it was captured by goblins and modified.
His brain was removed and a magic rune was implanted, turning him into a puppet controlled by goblins.
He was infiltrated in Xiahe Village as a spy to liaise with Xuelang Town.
The magic runes are protected by the goblin's divine magic.
He must frequently offer sacrifices to the altar in order to obtain the forbidden energy.
Once his energy is depleted, the restrictions will torment his soul.
Today is another day for ancestor worship.
The garrison captain found three villagers, tortured them, and then killed them.
The body was hung on the altar.
Blood dripped down, staining the entire altar red.
The magic circle on the altar was activated.
The evil priests conveyed their faith to the goblin god.
As a reward.
A surge of divine energy descended upon the garrison captain.
"Praise be to the great Goblin God."
They lay prostrate on the ground, receiving the feedback of this energy.
The initially agitated restrictions were quickly calmed down.
At this time.
A voice came through the altar.
"The main force will launch an attack in three days."
"Contact the people in Snow Wolf Town."
"Obtain the complete deployment map as soon as possible, and implement the decoy plan."
"In addition, a new magician has appeared in Snow Wolf Town. He comes from the Third Magic Academy of the Kingdom of Leiden."
"I learned some things about Xiahe Village."
"Your mission is to appease the enemy and protect the stronghold in Xiahe Village."
"I have already dispatched a goblin army to help you."
"Kill him as soon as possible to avoid revealing your identity."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the worship, the divine light on the altar disappeared.
The garrison captain straightened his clothes and calmly walked out of the underground altar.
And soon.
Then a man claiming to be a messenger came to request an audience.
"please!"
Chen Zhong led Abu and Aling, members of the Three-Eyed Tribe, into Xiahe Village.
Although I had been here many times before.
But this was the first time they had ever been to Xiahe Village, which had deep ditches and high walls.
As soon as I walked in, I saw patrolling soldiers.
The arrow towers were equipped with crossbows and various defensive siege weapons.
If we let them lead troops to attack Xiahe Village...
To break through this place, you can't take it without losing several thousand men.
After meeting the garrison captain, they doubled that number.
This is a peak Bronze-level expert, about to enter the Silver-level realm.
No wonder the goblins couldn't take this place before.
Later, they set a trap and captured the garrison captain's wife, thus luring the enemy into the goblin's lair.
Even so.
It is said that three Silver Saints and thousands of high-ranking warriors died in the battle to capture him.
But compared to this fortress-like village.
Then it's all worth it.
Good day, Your Excellency.
The three greeted each other politely.
The garrison captain nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
"Divine messengers, I already know the purpose of your visit."
Tell me your plans, and I will cooperate with you.
Chen Zhong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He was afraid that the other party would be unwilling to cooperate and would do things their own way.
In retrospect, my worries were unnecessary.
He then opened the sand table and explained his plan.
"Based on the intelligence we have."
"This envoy is here to investigate the intelligence leak."
"He is accompanied by a Snow Wolf Lord's personal guard, the strongest of whom is a Silver-ranked warrior."
These details are all recorded in the strategy guide.
The progress of a lord's missions within the secret realm is almost always transparent to both parties.
To defeat the other party, one must resort to some extraordinary methods.
"If it's a head-on battle."
How confident are the people around you in their ability to follow you?
Chen Zhong asked.
"No more than one hundred."
"Most of the troops stationed here are not regular troops."
"They rotate their squads regularly."
"It's absolutely impossible to mobilize the garrison for an attack."
One hundred of them were his personal guards.
To be able to trust absolutely.
Chen Zhong looked at the map; the number of lords was more than that of other lords.
He continued.
"My plan is for you to lead your troops away from Xiahe Village."
"Head to the dense forest."
"Then pretend to be trapped in a goblin horde."
"We request that the messenger lead troops to our aid."
"We will deploy some troops in the surrounding area."
"Once the enemy steps inside, I will order the legion to attack."
"We are confident that we can wipe them all out."
Chen Zhong's confidence stemmed from A Ling's forbidden spell scroll.
The garrison captain looked at the map and then spoke.
"Then let's do as you say."
"They'll be here very soon."
"Arrange it as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir!"
.......
The road leading to Xiahe Village.
Lin Chuan sat inside the carriage, reviewing the mission guide in his hand.
This cost a lot of money to buy.
Some lords have already completed this task.
"The spy is the garrison captain."
"I never imagined that this former hero of Snow Wolf Town would fall into a trap, be captured by goblins, and be turned into a puppet."
With this guide, the task becomes much easier.
Simply capture the target, destroy the altar, and force them to reveal the spy's location.
This is in the mission guide.
The spy's identity was kept very secret.
Even though they had completed their mission and killed the spy, they still didn't know the spy's identity in Snow Wolf Town.
Therefore, the key to this mission is to capture the garrison captain.
Fortunately, it's not complicated.
"We'll leave once it's done."
"Next, the territory can be upgraded to LV9."
Just as Lin Chuan was making plans in his mind.
The cavalry in front suddenly stopped.
Then cavalrymen came running up.
"Your Mightiness."
"Latest intelligence."
"Xiahe Village was attacked by goblins."
"Captain Jon led his men to hunt down goblins, but they were surrounded by them."
"We are now requesting your assistance."
This news brought Lin Chuan a slight sense of relief.
"It seems the enemy leader has made a move."
Five teams came in, and one of them was wiped out by themselves.
There are three left.
You should encounter one here.
Lin Chuan had already anticipated this.
Previously, we were speculating where the other party would make their move.
It seems they directly colluded with the garrison captain.
They must have read the guide.
Lin Chuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"All mission guides are available."
"Both sides are transparent with their intelligence."
"The other party must know about my situation."
"Know your own path."
"If they chose not to ambush but instead colluded with the garrison captain, then they must have set a trap."
"We can't go!"
Lin Chuan tried to persuade the knights around him.
The other person shook their head.
"No, Snow Wolf Town will never abandon any friendly forces."
"Your Excellency, please forgive us, but we cannot obey this order."
Lin Chuan simply nodded in response.
"In that case, let's split into two groups."
"You go and provide support, I'll go to Xiahe Village myself."
The knight captain was somewhat surprised.
"Sir, you are a mage; this is extremely dangerous."
"The goblins aren't very strong. Come with us, and we'll take them down in no time."
"This won't take too long."
"No, you guys go ahead."
Lin Chuan refused again, which made some of the Knights very unhappy.
"Captain, since the mage is not going, we cannot force him."
"After all, he's not from Snow Wolf Town."
"No honor for Snow Wolf Town."
"Hmph, just a cowardly mage who's afraid of dying."
Some hot-tempered knights directly made sarcastic remarks.
Lin Chuan ignored them, treating them as mere NPCs.
"The knight captain said helplessly."
"In that case, please proceed to Xiahe Village on your own, Venerable Master."
"Snow Wolf Knight"
"exist."
"Come with me to provide support."
"Yes, sir!"
