Chapter 180 The whereabouts were discovered
"Sir, there is a checkpoint ahead."

A resistance fighter dressed in a church robe came to Lisabel. Even with the certificate issued by the church, Lisabel still asked her men to conduct reconnaissance in front of the team as usual.

Lisabel opened the map. On this map obtained from the church, there was no permanent checkpoint at the intersection ahead.

"The checkpoints looked makeshift, with soldiers setting up defences while checking passers-by."

The resistance fighter took out a small notebook from her arms, on which she simply drew the layout of the checkpoint.

There were not many soldiers in that checkpoint, but they were equipped with several signal guns, which enabled them to quickly notify the surrounding principality troops if anything happened.

"In terms of time, it's about time."

Lisabel had never underestimated Moralich, and she never expected that the church's clerks would allow them to reach their destination smoothly.

"Let Frank's team go and test the situation. The others are ready to support them at any time. The most important priority is to prevent this checkpoint from sending out signals."

The resistance group mentioned by Lisabel straightened their robes and confirmed with each other that they looked no different from ordinary church priests.

Then they walked towards the makeshift checkpoint.

"Clerk."

A soldier stopped them. His expression was calm and he did not show much abnormality. However, the other soldiers in his team had quietly taken up advantageous attacking positions and half-surrounded the group of people in priest robes. As long as they made any unusual movements, they would have the advantage in the next battle.
"here."

The soldier took the document from the priest and looked through it carefully.

In the territory of the principality, there are still many priests of the Sun God traveling between various territories. Morarichi does not want to have any conflicts with the Church of the Sun God now. He would rather let some suspicious people pass than mistakenly arrest real church priests.

"What is the situation in Lake County? I saw there are records of that place in your documents."

Every time a checkpoint or outpost is passed between territories, an additional record will be added to the document. This will help the principality track the population flow in its own territory to avoid disputes between territories due to population issues.

"It's not good, so we need to prepare more supplies, otherwise many people there won't survive the next winter."

This was the rhetoric that Lemming's followers had taught the resistance fighters. If the soldiers had just asked casually, this rhetoric would have been enough. But this time, it was clear that the soldiers were not going to let them off easily.

"If you are just looking for supplies and assistance, it seems that you don't need to carry weapons."

The priest's identity was just a disguise. The resistance fighters still carried their original weapons under the priest's robes. The wide robes could well conceal the outlines of these weapons. The soldiers in the levels that had passed before did not notice these weapons hidden under the robes.

But the soldiers here obviously observed them more carefully.

"It's used for self-defense on the road, how can it be unnecessary?"

Although they gave a response, this group of resistance fighters probably knew in their hearts that they could not get away with it this time.

It is true that the church's clergy also carry weapons to avoid being attacked by scattered monsters and beasts, but not everyone in their team carries weapons.

"Throw the weapon there first."

The weapons in the soldiers' hands were already pointed at the "priests" in front of them. A little further away, on a small temporary tower, the soldiers who were paying attention to the situation here also picked up signal guns, ready to send out signals at any time.

"Let's get started. The Principality should have discovered that we are using the identity of the Church to pass through the blockade."

The other side just wanted to make a final confirmation. Once they lost their weapons, these resistance fighters would be like fish on the chopping board. "Put down your weapons and don't even think about resisting."

On the other side, the soldiers had already pointed their weapons at the team of "priests" in front of them. On a small temporary watchtower not far away, the soldiers raised their signal guns and were about to pull the trigger.

"what!"

A scream was heard, and the soldiers who had drawn their weapons and were surrounding the "Priest" team in front of the checkpoint were attracted by the scream and turned to look.

They saw the soldier who was supposed to be on the small watchtower, ready to fire a flare at any time, fell to the ground. Next to him was a burning flare on the ground. The soldier had an arrow stuck in his wrist and forehead. It seemed that the arrow shot from a distance prevented him from shooting the flare correctly into the sky.

"Enemy attack!"

The soldier shouted loudly, and then a dagger swept across his neck.

While their attention was attracted by the scream, the resistance fighters in priest robes drew their weapons and launched an attack silently.

After just one round of attacks, most of the soldiers who had originally occupied an advantageous position and were able to complete the encirclement at any time were killed or wounded, and their formation was completely broken up.

Other soldiers inside the checkpoint building also rushed out, but a round of volleys quickly knocked those out and forced the remaining soldiers back into their rooms.

"Don't let them send any signals."

A resister in a clerical robe cut off the arm of a soldier, who pulled out his flare gun and prepared to pull the trigger.

Once they send out the signal, the resistance fighters will be in big trouble.

"We surrender, we surrender!"

These soldiers were not troops directly under the principality, but troops of local nobles. Although the nobles here had built their troops quite well, the discipline and morale of these soldiers were still far behind those of the troops directly under the principality. After facing such a fierce attack from the resistance, they quickly collapsed.

"Let them throw out their weapons, tie each other up, and come out."

Lisabel waved her hand to stop the attack, and soon, her order was conveyed to the building of the checkpoint. Soon, weapons were thrown out of the window, and then, one by one, the soldiers walked out of their building with their hands tied.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

The resistance fighters checked the shackles in the soldiers' hands. They were tied so tightly that they had no other thoughts at all.

The resistance fighters obviously had no way to take these surrendered soldiers away, and they did not have the luxury to do so.

"want……"

The resistance fighter who reported to Lysabel gestured, asking Lysabel if she wanted to get rid of those soldiers.

"It will take several days to reinforce their shackles before the supply team finds them. This amount of time is enough for us."

The movements of Lisabel and the others have been discovered by the Principality, so there is no need for them to kill these captives now.

Giving them a chance to live will at least leave them with a good reputation.
