Chapter 68 Len Disappears

After listening to Angelica's explanation, Charlotte obviously understood some of it.

And just as Angelica thought, the current situation in the Valley of Sighs is actually closely related to the group of Chief Qiu.

Because of yesterday's raid on the attacker's lair, many of the monsters on the periphery were sent there today, partly to reinforce their forces and partly to investigate the situation, particularly the center of the lair. Lydia, the leader, was nowhere to be found (Angelica had set the fire), with only a few burned tents left.

Meanwhile, in the Canyon of Sighs, the outer guards had all gone to the attacker's lair. But how could this be possible? There was actually another line of defense here, with harpies patrolling regularly from above. This prevented the outer guards below from detecting anyone, while the harpies in the sky could directly spot them and notify and coordinate with the patrols ahead and behind to launch a pincer attack on any elusive individuals.

But at this moment, because they brought the prophet back to Preli, they all stayed in the nest to strengthen the protection of the prophet to prevent him from being snatched away by other people.

Due to these coincidences, the number of enemies and dangers encountered by Chief Qiu and his entourage was greatly reduced.

Following the path opened up by the monsters, Chief Qiu and his group quickly walked towards the top of the mountain.

Along the way, they passed by abandoned monster camps, many dangerous areas where they could fall off the cliffs if they weren't careful, and small woods covered with thorns. When Chief Qiu and his group walked a few steps down along the path along the cliff edge,

"Be careful, there are enemies ahead."

However, it was Triana, who had the best eyesight, who was one step ahead of everyone else and discovered the hidden enemy ahead.

Then Triana pointed to the mountain wall and stood right next to it.

"I saw enemy patrols at the end ahead of us and not far ahead and above us."

Triana pointed forward and to the upper right, then spoke to everyone in a low voice.

After hearing this, everyone's attention was instantly focused.

"Lean, can you go and take a look ahead?"

Angelica thought about everyone's professions and then remembered Len, an assassin. Apparently, this profession sounded similar to Kane's spy, and should be able to observe the enemy's situation more covertly.

But after Angelica finished speaking, she didn't hear any response from Len. Seeing this, Angelica couldn't help but turn her head and look behind her.

Angelica looked behind her because Lunalia had been following Len. Lunalia looked like a pretty vase with no fighting power. To protect Lunalia, both Sean and Angelica had Len and Lunalia walk at the back of the group. Of course, when a fight broke out, Len would go to the front of the group, and Lunalia would stay where she was.

When Angelica looked at the back of the team, she obviously did not see Len and Lunalia.

"Why are they both missing?"

Angelica tried to lower her voice as much as possible, and then said to everyone in surprise.

"Ah? Did they disappear again?"

"This is nothing serious. They have occasionally disappeared before, and then returned to the team safely."

After hearing Angelica's words, Sean, who was standing in the front row, couldn't help but turn around, obviously a little surprised. However, thinking that this had happened before, Sean wasn't too surprised. Triana's former teammates also looked normal.

Seeing this, Angelica stopped asking questions, and the enemy chiefs just let the matter go for the time being with doubts.

"Since Len is not here, leave this to me."

"I'm good at this, and I've done it before."

"Besides, I'm at the front of the team. If I go straight over, I can actually reduce the risk of being exposed when people overlap."

At this time, Sean stood up and said to Qiu Chief and the others. Perhaps it was because of the sudden disappearance of his former teammate Len that Sean felt bad.

Then, without waiting for others to respond, Sean tiptoed forward along the mountain wall.

Sean cautiously walked forward for dozens of steps, sticking close to the mountain wall, and then came to the end of the front. Then, he secretly stuck half of his head out to look around for a few times. When he was sure that the situation was correct, he carefully walked back a few steps.

Then, he followed the mountain wall and slowly climbed up. When his head was about to appear above, Sean half tilted his body and stopped. After that, Sean sensed the sound of footsteps above, and quickly poked his head out, then tilted back in an instant.

When he had a clear view of the situation ahead, Sean quickly climbed down and returned to the crowd. The people who had been watching Sean's movements wiped a cold sweat for him.

"I've explored almost everything."

Sean came back and told everyone excitedly. Then he told everyone what had happened.

Now, the situation in front of several enemy chiefs is as follows.

At the end of the road, there was a small slope where monsters gathered. There was a wooden guardrail blocking the way ahead. Although I couldn't see the details behind it, judging by the situation in the attacker's lair yesterday, there should be several short goblin archers hiding there.

There were also several goblin archers in the front, and a wooden fence blocking the way. In front of the wooden fence, there should be a small path that people could run through.

Besides these two locations, there were no monsters in the empty space in the middle. The only thing there was a huge energy crystal, which was also present in the two monster gathering places we saw earlier.

"Based on what you've described, those three giant energy crystals should be the energy source for the external protective barrier that Fugus mentioned earlier."

After listening to Sean's information, Angelica recalled what Fergus had said before, and roughly guessed the function of the energy crystal.

Afterwards, Angelica began to arrange the next course of action for everyone.

First, the group's target was the monster gathering area at the end of the road. As for why Angelica didn't attack the safest center first, she had several considerations.

First, Angelica believes in what is often mentioned in books: "Places that appear safe are often the most dangerous."

Secondly, the middle section was vulnerable to attacks from goblin archers on both sides. Not to mention the high monster spot near the prepared location, the monster gathering area at the end of the road was also a small hill. Even if it was small, it could still provide some convenience for the monsters.

Thirdly, they had encountered goblin bandits in the attacker's lair yesterday, and those guys had crawled out from underground. If the goblin bandits hadn't been there, Angelica felt she would have won every time she gambled.

After eliminating the threat at the end of the road, everyone went to destroy the crystal point in the open space in the middle.

Finally, go and push away the monster gathering area on the road.
