After sending the information, Irina did not follow Insula's instructions and stayed in the US camp. Instead, she asked the base commander to ask for a Hummer and drove back. She traveled back and forth within 48 hours and had almost no rest for a minute, but she brought Insula's reply to Zuolin. When she returned, she also received a list of druids who were about to come to Africa to support her. The Hummer she was going to come was a communication model, and a high-power confidential radio station was installed on it. Although Insula was a little anxious after learning that Irina had left, she almost authorized her to enter once.

Entering Ethiopia would obviously cause trouble, but when I learned that Irina took away such a car and even carried a bunch of arms, Insula understood that there might be another unstable element in the operation department. If Yu Xiaohua's skillful tactical skills come from training since childhood, in addition to skills, he pays more attention to morality and willpower, then Irina, who was led by unscrupulous guys such as Popov, may have the other side, and perhaps, it will be more similar to terrorists or extremists.

After Irina returned to the camp, she saw the whole scene of Laribera being nervously preparing for her departure. With Zuolin and Pauletta joining and providing a lot of help, the tribal warriors' departure preparation progress was much faster than in the preparatory department. Pauletta threw a large amount of cars bought from nearby towns. In Africa, only cars are the only things like cars, and the seller absolutely guarantees the quality. If the seller breaks down in the desert and wasteland, what is going on is not a trivial matter. If the buyer is lucky enough to die, there is sufficient reason to cut people back, and even the government agencies will not ask too much about this kind of problem.

When Irina came back, the large group of people was ready to set off. Several excellent soldiers had already set out dozens of kilometers of reconnaissance routes and marked them. Irina and Zuo Lin talked about the situation roughly, and then hid in the corner of the Hummer in a blanket and went to sleep.

Hermione had long noticed something was wrong. After recording her experience, she walked around the camp and went to the church to see the unique Christian culture of Africa, leaving countless wonderful photos. However, she noticed the solemn atmosphere of Laribela's church and the surrounding camps. The soldiers from various tribes obviously did not gather here for a large-scale sacrificial event. They wiped their weapons, packed the food they had with them, or used oil to repair the pattern representing the identity of tribal warriors. It was obviously a scene of preparing to fight.

"What happened?" Hermione asked Zuolin.

"Some invaders threatened these tribes. They united and prepared to fight." Zuo Lin saw that he could not hide it, so he said truthfully, "Tomorrow there will be a Red Cross plane here to deliver medicines. You will go back to Cairo with that plane. Pauletta has already contacted you."

"Is it dangerous? Why do you have to follow me?" Hermione, who had no deep understanding of Zuo Lin and Pauletta's identities, said strangely.

"We're different," Zuo Lin didn't explain much.

"Can you take me to see it? I won't get in the way. I will run away when there is danger. You know I'm afraid of death." Hermione begged.

"Okay, okay, you said that." Pauletta, who walked in from outside the tent, suddenly interrupted, his face not very good: "There is a UNHCR material center nearby, and there is a plane every three days. The supervisor there is my friend, and you can help arrange it."

Hermione was naturally very happy. Zuolin wondered why Pauletta was so easy to talk to. Later, he found out that the Red Cross plane was shot down in Egypt. Perhaps the Dark Council knew that Laribela had gathered many warriors, as well as African Christian priests, and they did not want them to obtain another batch of important supplies.

The situation is getting worse and worse. Now the only way they can guarantee Hermione's safety is to bring her around to the material center of the United Nations Refugee Agency. No matter what, there is a small team of multinational peacekeeping troops stationed there, not only a simple airport, but also three helicopters and several armored vehicles. Although the soldiers have excellent military qualities, they can only be regarded as some practice toys in front of the people of the Dark Council. However, no matter how brave the Dark Council is, they may not be impulsive to provoke these soldiers stationed outside and provoke the state machinery behind them. Especially, although it is said that the Dark Council has the upper hand in the battle with the Truth Council, the two sides are in a very strong tug-of-war. The Truth Council will have sufficient financial resources to guarantee it, and it is not very worried about fighting a protracted war. The Dark Council is not so optimistic, otherwise it would not come to Africa to find the treasures of the local king at this critical moment.

It will make you look good! Zuo Lin thought in his heart that the Dark Council has been angry with the public anyway. Not only him, there are not many people in the world who dare to do such things as shooting down the Red Cross plane. If the characters behind the Red Cross come out to take revenge, it will probably be a big drink for the Dark Council.

Due to the special situation this time, the bodyguards accompanying him, even the first-level guys of the Druid Council Servants, were not allowed to follow him. Zuolin and Pauletta occupied a convertible Wrangler Jeep, while Irina, Hermione and two experienced servants occupied the Hummer. The space was also rich Hummers to load the weapons and other supplies they carried.

Among these people, there is little to worry that their things are missing. If the warriors and wizards like what they carry, they usually exchange with them with things they think they can be equivalent to their value. Most of the things used for exchange are gold, gems, diamonds and some things that cannot be used as magic tools over time, but can only be used as handicrafts and cultural relics. Hermione bought the Swiss Army Knife before coming to Africa but had never used them very much. She was replaced by a fist-sized sapphire that was a black wizard with a very good mana. Although Hermione felt very embarrassed and repeatedly said that she would not need such expensive things, the black wizard left the gems without caring and left with the Swiss Army Knife. For these guys with profound mana, it would be easier to get gems, diamonds and gold, and it would be a waste of time to let them go deep into modern society to get those industrial products.

But none of this could weaken the fighting atmosphere that was constantly gathering in the team moving forward at an equal speed. The soldiers who went out to do reconnaissance kept changing people, and those who replaced them collapsed and fell asleep in the truck. They kept going. It took only two days to reach the periphery of the treasure land of the Earth King, a place called Crystal Mountain.

210.

Battle of Crystal Mountain

In Africa, there are probably dozens of places called Crystal Mountain. Perhaps because the mountains are vast, the scenery looks crystal clear, or perhaps because there are crystal mines in the mountains. Sometimes, even some mountains are extremely huge crystals, just wrapped in a layer of rocks and soil outside.

This crystal mountain itself is a crystal mine, but it has never been mined. Even the scientific expeditions and geographic surveying teams have not conducted detailed surveys and mapping nearby, because getting close to this place is extremely dangerous for those who do not have special abilities. After throwing Hermione into the UNHCR camp and leaving two servants to protect him, Zuolin and Pauletta became more deeply integrated into this local combat team.

Pauletta was even more with Youchendu, accompanied by the elite warriors to conduct reconnaissance. Compared with those elite warriors, Pauletta, who has a sensitive sense, doesn't mind showing his transformation skills in front of these teams that are mostly not ordinary people. The reconnaissance results are much more detailed than those elite warriors who rely on experience and instinct. What's more, Pauletta has rich experience in fighting against the Dark Council and has a better understanding of the various styles of the Dark Council.

"There was a camp in the valley ahead. After evacuation, it was cleaned very well, leaving only a few clues. Here, they stayed for at least 3 days, and they probably evacuated the camp two days ago.... They should have gone southwest and closer to the border. I chased for about 70 kilometers southwest and found several posts. I didn't want to alarm the snake, so I didn't get closer, but I judged that the other party should have a camp nearby. The other party is very strong, and the werewolf will only reveal the smell after transforming, and this number is not easy to judge. However, there are at least two necromancers in the opponent's team, and their aura is on them.

The smell is stronger. Also... there are a few devil contractors, and the smell is very mixed. I don't know what it looks like. There are not many vampires. The others are probably ordinary people. I ran back and forth several times along the way and saw some traces of moving heavy objects. If it weren't for heavy weapons, it should be engineering machinery and other things. I think the other party should have found the right position. Or, at least very close." Pauletta used branches to draw a simple map on the soil, and with his various discoveries, his outstanding sense of smell became a weapon for the whistle detectives, which is something that those elite soldiers with outstanding talents could not compare.

The leader of the large army this time was an old soldier named Okonkovo. In fact, he was already the leader of a tribe. But in a radius of thousands of miles, he was still a legendary existence. He once led seven tribe warriors to kill a fully armed team of more than 50 people who had ulterior motives and smuggled and traded arms under the name of scientific investigation. In the turbulent Africa, the number of murders may not represent anything, but a warrior's command ability and demeanor cannot be imitated.

"Brave warrior, do you have any suggestions?" After several days of running-in, everyone has regarded Pauletta and Zuolin as part of the team. Pauletta can better detect the situation, arrange routes and terrain. Zuolin can use locally produced herbs, even with plant stems, leaves and flowers that can be obtained, or secretions from some insects, to treat simple symptoms. After four consecutive days of hard work, the number of non-combat reductions was zero.

In the team, as long as you can prove your value, you will be respected by everyone. Moreover, with respect, your status in the team will also improve. No matter what profession you have, as long as you trust you, even if you only trust one aspect, you will be called a leader or one of the leaders.

Okonkovo ​​wanted to ask Pauletta what he thought about the specific situation.

Pauletta looked at Zuo Lin and said, "I'll find out where the other party's camp is. If possible, I think a raid will have a good effect."

"The leopards crawling in the grass can always harvest prey," Okonkovo ​​nodded. He had already seen the affiliation between Pauletta and Zuolin and asked Zuolin, "What do you think, genius doctor?"

Zuo Lin shrugged and said, "I think you can try to attack, but you must also prevent them from being attacked by the other party. Since they have moved the camp so carefully, there is no reason for them to be unprepared for attacks against them. Moreover, there is one thing I am very curious about, the Dark Council obviously has a lot more situations on hand than us, and even a map can come here so quickly. A group of outsiders know this better than you who grew up here, don't you?"

Okonkovo ​​said seriously: "Yes, I think it's strange. There was once a rumor that the descendants of the King of the Earth were not driven out of all, but were taken to the hometown of the colonists and turned into slaves. We have always had doubts about this. The descendants of the great king will never be unknown. However, now it seems that no matter whether the descendants of the King of the Earth are still there, at least the map, equipment and records that can guide others to come here should still be in the hands of those people. The legend of the King of the Earth has been so many years, and I'm afraid that even the oldest wise man here can't explain this problem." He paused and said, "Friend, you are right. We need to be more cautious and more careful. Hunters look at the prey, but in the eyes of the prey, hunters can also become food."

Okonkovo ​​gave Zuolin the power to inspect the camp and patrol the post. In this team, this almost means recognizing Zuolin's authority second only to him. Pauletta went out alone to do a stealth reconnaissance, trying to discover the camp of the Dark Council.

However, just as Zuo Lin patroled the camp, Pauletta had just set off for less than 30 minutes. A fire rose from the direction of Crystal Mountain, and explosions sounded one after another.

"Someone is sneaking into the camp of the Dark Council. I don't know where it came from, but it seems to be another group of tribal warriors." In less than ten minutes, Pauletta, who was riding on the chaos and thrust his speed, rushed back and reported the situation.

Okonkovo's eyes were filled with doubts, but he immediately ordered: "Leave half of the people to guard the camp, and the others set out with me. We will support friends who don't know where they come from."

Zuo Lin, who had been maintaining his physical strength and following the action of the large army, showed his strong combat power for the first time in front of everyone when he approached several sentries that were not mentally attached to them. The tender branches turned into magnificent longbows, and arrows with mimosa-shaped tail feathers seemed to appear out of thin air in his hands. Zuo Lin tapped three arrows and saw Okonkovo ​​nodding slightly to him to show his permission to attack, so he shot out immediately.

The arrow made no sound and directly penetrated the body of a werewolf who had not had time to transform. The tail feathers of the arrow turned into sharp blades, and the poor werewolf was cut into pieces immediately. This is the advanced expansion of Zuo Lin's archery technique. Injecting a little bit of natural force into the arrow can achieve several times the killing effect. This is the first time Zuo Lin has used this simple technique.

For the whistle detectives who were shocked by the attack here, the soldiers sent the first wave of guns. Although they successfully solved the two werewolfs, eight werewolfs successfully transformed and roared over. A werewolf's sharp howling scream announced the beginning of the battle.

As a dark wizard, Youchendu likes melee combat very much. A cloud of smoke emerged from the gaps in his loose clothes. People with good eyes can find that the smoke is composed of countless extremely small flying insects. As long as they are sold on their bodies by these flying insects, this guy will basically be useless.

Pauletta did not have the fighting power entangled in the periphery, and he rushed straight to the place where the fire light rose. He had just had time to glance and went back to report the situation. There were indeed many masters who entered the Dark Council camp, leading several priests who seemed to be very capable, and they were not native priests of non-State Christianity, but white people. They held the Bible in one hand and waved silver crosses that could be used as weapons in the other hand, and used holy lights to turn the zombies summoned from the ground into powder. Some mercenary-like guys protected the surroundings of these priests with powerful firepower, and knocked away the werewolf and zombies that were approaching, but the priests could not handle. Although they might not be able to kill them, the kinetic energy of the bullets could block these guys well.

Seeing the other side of the camp that seemed to have not been affected, Pauletta not only complained secretly. This is also a valley, and it seems that the guys from the Dark Council have found the treasure of the Earth King and are digging towards the Crystal Mountain. On the surrounding hillsides and on the ground, there are stone sculptures of various shapes everywhere, and around the Crystal Mountain, the entire circle seems to be the tombs of the burial beings. The powerful chiefs, tribal leaders, like the Earth King, have the habit of burying with living people. Some tribes have shown

There are still people who are captured by those hostile tribes. Although they are rough, living people are also burying themselves with some specifications. Seeing these burialists who were burying them constantly, standing in a strange way, slowly moving to attack those people, Pauletta felt that the basket was so big that the number of skeletons and zombies was obviously not the specification that a mortal king could achieve. Could it be that this is not only the treasure of the mortal king, but also the burial place of the mortal kings of all dynasties?

Standing in the middle of the camp, a young man who was so handsome that he discovered Pauletta. He suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke, gathering and shrinking like a small black hole in the air, disappearing. Almost at the same time, the smoke appeared behind Pauletta and turned into a human form again. Two daggers soaked in poison pierced towards Pauletta's vest.
