Chapter 149 Exposed?

“This campground feels very uncomfortable.”

The Shadow Crows disguised as Crusaders were taken to their base, which seemed to be a newly expanded camp with no other troops stationed there.

This is how the Shadow Crow Squad leader felt upon entering this camp.

Objectively speaking, this camp is no different from other Crusader camps, with the same divine magic array buried underground, the same prayer rooms, and barracks of the same specifications.

In addition to the fact that there are no other troops stationed here, there are some leftover building materials piled up here in a mess.

A ray of sunlight created by magic appeared out of thin air in this camp, and the magic array buried underground was activated. Even in the dark night, there was sunlight here.

The followers of the Sun God Cult were not worried that the sunlight would be too conspicuous in the dark night and would be attacked more. Maintaining the existence of sunlight was not only of doctrinal significance, but also because only under the sunlight could the followers of the Sun God exert the effect of their unique magic to the greatest extent.

For this reason, generally speaking, the priests of the Crusaders would rather be exposed to the enemy's sight and maintain the existence of sunlight.

"Maybe it's just an illusion caused by the emptiness here?"

The captain of Shadow Crow is still trying to find out what is causing him to feel inexplicably uncomfortable. For those of them who are often on the front lines of battle, they all value their intuition.

"The assignment of your troops and the next order should arrive tomorrow morning. You can relax tonight."

The priest's voice brought Shadow Crow Captain back to his senses.

“May the sun shine on you.”

The priest saluted, then turned and walked out of the camp.

The leader of the Shadow Crows watched the priest walk out of the camp and disappear from sight, then he winked to the left and right, and the other Shadow Crows quickly dispersed in groups of several and began to thoroughly check the camp.

He still felt that something was wrong with this camp.

"The sunlight is too bright."

He narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the way this magic array was engraved was different from the usual ones. The sunlight emitted by those magic arrays buried underground that he had come into contact with was much gentler. Under that kind of sunlight, even someone like him who did not believe in the sun god could feel the warmth and peace.

But although the sunlight here was dazzling, it did not give a sense of warmth, and Captain Shadow Crow only felt a little irritated.

"Boss, I didn't find anything unusual."

The Shadow Crows quickly returned to their captain to report their findings.

Everything was normal, it was a standard temporary camp of the Sun God Cult, and it met the most standard definition of a temporary camp in the Holy Scripture. The Shadow Crows even dug up part of the ground and checked the divine magic array buried underground.

There was nothing unusual about the magic array, it was completely in line with the standard, the Skitarii here did not cut corners. Although in this temporary camp, for the sake of efficiency, in actual application, most Skitarii would reduce some processes on these magic arrays, sacrificing the duration of the magic array in exchange for less setting time.

After all, it is just a temporary camp, and these magic arrays are enough as long as they can be used for a few months. There is no need to set up the perfect arrays in the scriptures that can last for several years.

The team leader glanced at his team and suddenly frowned.

"Where are Foley and the others?"

The assembled team that was supposed to have ended the search was now five men short.

The Shadow Crows had a standard process for dispersed searches. After every hour of searching, no matter if there were any results, they had to return for a briefing. And now, one team had missed this reporting time. The team leader made a gesture, and the surrounding Shadow Crows were ready for battle.

"Squadrons one to three, southwest direction, combat search."

A group of shadow crows passed their captain and headed cautiously in the direction that Foley and his team had originally been searching.

There was an unfinished camp there. Most of the roads were blocked by randomly piled building materials, making the terrain a little complicated. For some reason, it seemed that the construction here had been interrupted for several days.

"The rest, prepare to break out."

Captain Shadow Crow is already thinking about how to break out and return to the control of the Principality.

The search team that Fulai was in did not send out any enemy or distress signals. With so many Shadow Crows around, it was only just now that they discovered that a search team had disappeared silently.

This made Captain Shadow Crow feel that the situation was not good.

Their unit was specially formed to deal with the Sun Cult. To be selected into this unit, one needs to be at least level 5 in strength. The captain of each five-man team has at least level 6 strength. They have also received special training in dealing with the Sun Cult. Everyone can deal with Sun Cult members who are one level stronger than them.

But such a small team disappeared silently in this camp.

"They were placed in Camp Five."

The news from the elves' reconnaissance team was delivered to the command room where the messenger was.

Soon, the location of the Shadow Crow infiltrators was marked on the map.

"Camp No. 5?"

Camp No. 3 is a newly built garrison. It was originally built to accommodate more crusaders sent by the church. However, the church has more important things to do recently. Although the plan of screening extremists and sending them to the Elf Forest to die is still being implemented, the screening process has obviously slowed down, and the number of crusaders arriving recently has also decreased. The number was once less than the number of crusaders killed here.

As extra barracks in the original base were vacated, the construction of this new base came to a halt.

"Obviously there is still space in other stations to accommodate a team of 100 people."

When building Camp No. 5, these Crusaders had already made two intimidating marches towards the elven town. Although they did not launch an attack in the end, they were obviously wary of the elven town when building Camp No. 5 and built a lot of camouflage to block the view of the town.

It was difficult for the elf reconnaissance team that left the town to see what was happening inside the camp.

"Let them go around and try to keep an eye on it."

The elf opposite the messenger quickly gave orders to his own people, and then looked at the messenger.

"You said they were a force specially set up to target the Sun God Cult. They definitely don't have any flaws and there is no possibility of being exposed."

The messenger also straightened up and could no longer be as leisurely as before.

"They are a force established entirely in accordance with the Holy Scriptures of the Sun God Cult, and are exactly the same as any non-clergy crusading army."

There are also a large number of crusaders in the Sun God Cult who cannot use divine magic, so such a force is not surprising.

"hope so."
