Chapter 1464
Dak Dak Dak Dak!
The knight acting as a scout was riding back to the temple convoy swiftly . The knight didn't even bother to pull the reins on the horse, jumping down right away, dashing towards Einderson's wagon .
"Lord Archpriest, someone is onto us! There are more than 500 men ahead of us, they must be the bandits from Smochker Hills!" said the knight as he entered the carriage .
"Just some common bandits? Are there others?"
Einderson lowered the map in his hand, asking without showing much expression .
When they had decided to head north, the archpriest had known what they would encounter in Smocker Hills .
Bandits! As many as a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing alive in their wake .
In fact, other than the monsters, the bandits were the only other obstacle that troubled the archpriest .
When the monsters were blocked outside Arya Outpost by Ryan, the bandits became the only problem in their journey to the north .
Therefore, the archpriest had been thinking about solutions to deal with the bandits .
Facing a bunch of merciless, killer bandits who knew the terrain, their disadvantage would be their numbers . Even if all the knights could come together and engage the bandits, they wouldn't be able to fight the endless waves of enemies . However, their advantage was obvious: elite equipment, elite soldiers skilled in combat, all things the bandits did not possess .
Should they engage in a frontal assault, despite the disadvantage in numbers, the knights would be able to take out the bandits swiftly .
But, should they fall into the bandit's trap, then it would become a nightmare .
Therefore, the archpriest had to be extremely careful .
"Not at the moment," replied the knight .
"Send more knights to scout the area, I want more details about the enemy . And not just ahead of us, check the rear and back too . "
The archpriest tried his best to set up a steady plan .
He didn't want to eliminate his enemies; all he hoped for was a swift and safe ride through Smochker Hills . Otherwise, he would have wasted Ryan's efforts in defending Arya Outpost .
As for solving the confrontation in a peaceful way?
After understanding what the bandits had done in the past, the archpriest was smart enough to discard the thought .
" I understand!"
The knight jumped off the wagon and swiftly rode away on his horse .
Two more groups of knights from the convoy followed shortly after, more than 30 knights riding off, their task to scout the details of their surroundings .
Therefore, before the knights returned with a detailed report of their surroundings, the entire convoy setup came near a hill .
"Patrols and outpost soldiers get into position . The civilians will help the deacons in preparing a simple defense structure . "
After putting away his beloved harp into the deerskin pocket at his waste, Kampu swiftly returned to his group . His voice was heard throughout the convoy with his special spell .
For a priest of Melody Temple, no matter how bad or good the play was, spreading one's melody was the basic plan and the sound was key .
With the archpriest's order, the seed of Melody Temple, Kampu became the ideal person for spreading orders .
His body was slightly thin and not too tall, so it was hard for someone to imagine how loud his voice was . However, because of his loud and sonorous voice, his normal looking face didn't seem that normal anymore .
He looked tough and plain, like a knight, but possessed the elegance and temperament of a scholar, which a knight lacked .
Even though the atmosphere was slightly tense, his temperament and mature looks were very calming to look at .
The knights were out scouting, leaving the whole convoy a little nervous, but when they saw Kampu, the tense atmosphere swiftly calmed down, everything returning to its organized manner .
Kampu then patrolled the temporary camp once more, before striding towards the archpriest's wagon .
Lilith, the priest from Love Temple, was already waiting in the carriage .
