Chapter 148 Infiltration
"Welcome, sunshine-kissed brother."
The Skitarii camp welcomed a new batch of reinforcements.
The church is still methodically throwing those who are too hostile to foreigners into this camp to fight to the death with the elves in the forest.
The church's actions were not hindered from top to bottom. The crusaders who were sent here had no objection to the order at all. They even hoped to rush into the forest as soon as possible and use their lives to contribute a little flame to ignite the elves' forest.
However, in recent times, these crusaders have not received any reinforcements, and the church now has no energy to screen out those who hate foreigners.
"The interval between reinforcements this time is longer than usual, and the number of people is also..."
The number of the crusader reinforcements was much smaller than before, only about a hundred people.
"It will take time to select personnel now. After all, only the most steadfast believers will have the opportunity to come here and contribute their strength to the extermination of alien races."
The priest who came to greet him nodded, and seemed satisfied with the answer. He took the document handed over by the other party, which had the seal of the church on it. A gentle sunlight emanated from the seal, which was the breath of divine magic.
The reinforcements of the Crusaders quietly waited for the priest in front of them to confirm the documents.
The seal on this article is genuine and indeed comes from the Church of the Sun God. Archbishop Lemming accidentally "mistakenly" stamped a document with the seal on an institution sent to the Principality for business connection with the Church. These seals were originally supposed to be used only on documents within the Church.
As for the documents under the seal, Morarichi had many experts who had studied the sacred texts of the Sun God Cult in depth and were very familiar with the writing style of their documents. The documents they wrote were completely in line with all the norms and traditions of the Sun God Cult.
Even the most senior priests of the Cult of the Sun would find it difficult to discern any clues in the documents.
The priest in front of him did the same. He closed the document and looked at the crusaders in front of him.
"The sun will shine on us eventually."
This is a very ancient prayer, which seems to have first appeared when the undead still ruled this continent.
"The night will eventually fade away."
However, the "Church Guards" who came to reinforce were also familiar with the sacred texts of the Sun God Cult and responded quickly.
A smile appeared on the priest's face.
"plz follow me."
The leading "Catholic Army" winked behind him, and the "Catholic Army" behind him obviously relaxed a little. Under the guidance of the priest, they walked into the camp of the "Catholic Army".
This temporary camp was originally very simple. The supplies those Crusaders had were just what they carried with them, which was probably only enough for them to fight for seven days, leaving them with no spare capacity to build a camp.
But after receiving logistical support from Morarichi, these camps have become a military fortress, which is not easy to attack from the outside.
This is also the reason why the elves did not directly launch an attack to rescue.
Soon after entering the camp, these reinforcements of the "Church Guards" smelled a smell of blood.
Several priests with blood on their hands came out of a door and saw the priest who was leading the "Church Guards" to their camp. They seemed to be completely unaware of the blood on their hands and waved to the priest enthusiastically.
"Hey, Franco, are these new?"
The priest known as Franco smiled and nodded.
"You finished so early today. Did you confess to the elf?" The two priests with blood on their hands shrugged.
"Not yet. We are rescuing him. I increased the dosage a little today and almost killed him accidentally. These aliens are indeed an inferior race that should be eliminated. Their bodies can't even withstand interrogation."
The leading "Skiptrace" twitched his eyes.
He has done a lot of interrogation. It can be said that every Shadow Crow needs to learn interrogation skills, conduct interrogations quickly on the battlefield, obtain enemy intelligence, and use it. This is a major feature of the Shadow Crow Mercenary Group.
Even their Shadow Crow Force, which was formed entirely to target the Church of the Sun God, would not ignore the subject of interrogation.
Judging from the blood on the hands of the two priests, what they were doing probably had nothing to do with interrogation.
The purpose of interrogation is to make the other party reveal information. He has never heard of any interrogation method that requires puncturing the target's aorta.
The blood on the hands of the two priests was obviously arterial blood from the color. They seemed to be just releasing their desire to kill the aliens, and extracting intelligence seemed to be just a side goal.
"It's your turn to interrogate them next time. Do your best and make these aliens feel the pain."
The two priests patted Franco on the shoulders, leaving several bloody handprints on his shoulders.
"No problem. I'll come and ask for your advice when I'm free."
Franco smiled brightly, as if they were discussing not how to torture and interrogate, but what to eat tonight.
Even the captain of the Shadow Crows, who had gone through countless interrogations and related courses, felt a little uneasy.
"These people in the Sun God Cult are not normal."
He muttered to himself as he followed Franco, who had already said goodbye to the two priests, and continued walking towards their station.
"Shadow Raven has entered the camp of those Skitarii."
The elven town in the distance is still trading. Although the merchants are worried that the expansion of the war will affect their safety, people always have to make money to eat. Despite these concerns, merchants still continue to come to these elven towns.
Occasionally, some of the Crusaders would come to investigate, and they made offensive gestures towards the town several times, hoping to scare away the merchants who kept coming, but in the end, the merchants continued to appear, and the Crusaders finally gave up on launching the attack.
The elves were able to have a place to observe the Skitarii camps up close, and they would often send out reconnaissance teams to evaluate the camps.
Now, they saw that the Shadow Raven mercenaries had successfully infiltrated the Skitarii camp.
"At least the plan is going well for now."
The news soon reached the Morarichi envoy. He looked at the elves in front of him. Now the two sides had established a joint command organization.
"If everything goes well, you probably won't have to take action."
"If everything goes well, that would be the best."
Although it is a joint command organization, in reality the two sides cannot command each other's people. It is just to enhance mutual trust and let the other side see their own orders to avoid misjudgment.
"My people will remain on standby, and they can take action immediately when needed."
The elves did not place all their hopes on the Shadow Crows. Even if the Shadow Crows failed, as long as they could create some chaos in the camp and expose loopholes in the fortress's defenses, that would be enough for the elves.
