Chapter 382

Ziggsey sent out a letter that night. The next morning, there was a missing team of sentries on the night patrol, and no one was seen alive or corpses died.

If the Leo woman led the army, even if she digs three feet into the ground, she would have to dig out the enemy.

But Zieges did not do that. He would not conduct a search or even look for missing soldiers until the enemy made a mistake.

He changed the route of the patrol and forbidden the sentry from acting separately, and each patrol team expanded to one hundred people.

This is a test of the enemy. The combat ability of sentries is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. If a hundred sentries can be killed quietly by the enemy, it proves that the enemy's strength can be comparable to an army of thousands of people.

This test was effective, and the sentry did not have any accidents for three consecutive days.

This proves that the enemy's combat power is not enough to compete with a hundred sentries, whose main purpose is to assassinate key figures rather than attack the camp.

To ensure that the camp is not at risk for the time being, Zieges gradually sent some soldiers to start searching for traces of the enemy.

The search results were quite fruitful. Some people saw footprints, some saw food residues, and some even saw arrows lost in the weeds, which should be feather arrows shot in the sky during hunting.

It is obvious that these traces are true or false, most of which are traps deliberately left by the enemy. Ziggsey did not distinguish them, but took out the map from the mountains and recorded all the clues in detail.

On the fifth day, the soldiers in charge of the investigation still gained a lot, but a sudden blow made Ziggs realize that he had serious negligence - the enemy did not attack the sentry, so it might not be impossible to defeat the sentry. Their troops were indeed limited, and they had more important goals.

The team that fetched water did not come back, and the team of 300 people, including the animals and utensils that fetched water, all disappeared.

It was dark, and Ziggsey was not in a hurry to send people out to search. The next morning, he selected five hundred soldiers and asked them to go to the foot of the mountain to fetch water.

Five hundred people set out in the morning until dusk, and there was no news.

The camp had enough water to drink for three days. Today it had been cut off for a day, and tomorrow's water had not yet fallen. Ziggsey looked up at the sky and murmured to himself: "It should rain tomorrow."

"Don't expect it to rain," said Manu, "I will lead the soldiers to drive a road down the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and then bring the water back first."

"Don't go anywhere in the camp," Ziggsey shook his head, "Since the enemy has set his sights on you, I can't let you do such a meaningless adventure."

"Then bring more people and bring two thousand people to get water."

"We only have more than 3,000 people in total, and we took two thousand people down the mountain. Do we want the camp?"

"Then bring a thousand people."

"Not even a thousand people! We have lost nearly a thousand soldiers, and we have to allocate some people to guard the valley. We cannot withstand any losses now." Ziggsey was very calm, as if he was completely unaware of the current bad situation.

"But we have to do something!" Manu's situation was a little out of control. "We have no water to drink."

"There is water to drink," Ziggsey said confidently at the sky, "it will definitely rain tomorrow."

On the third day, all the water storage tanks were bottomed out. Manu asked to go down the mountain to get water again, but was still rejected by Ziegsse.

Manu suspected that Zieges had lost the ability to adapt. According to the records of war classics, once the army was cut off, its morale would collapse within half a day and completely lose its combat effectiveness within one day.

He decided to take Ziges' orders and lead an army to secretly get water from the mountain. He secretly created a cave in his barracks. He was about to lead the soldiers to set off, but Ziges suddenly walked into the barracks.

"It's raining outside," Ziggsey was still very calm, as if talking about something irrelevant, "Take your soldiers to pick up the rain, and keep all the containers from coming back before filling them. This is a punishment for you and a forgiveness for you. If you dare to disobey the military order next time, you and your soldiers will sacrifice your lives for it."

Manu couldn't believe Ziggas' words. He walked out of the barracks and saw that the drizzle really floated down.

From dusk to late night, the rain became heavier and heavier, and soon filled all the water tanks in the camp, which was enough for the camp to support for another three days.

Three days later, the water tank came to the bottom again, and Ziggsai was really worried this time.

"It won't rain tomorrow. We should build a water cellar to store more water."

"Now, let alone water cellars, you will either die of thirst or fight against the enemy. We can only choose..." Manu said halfway through his words, and suddenly stopped, and a long-lost throbbing surged in his heart.

"Someone, somebody is going up the mountain!" Manu looked at Ziggsey excitedly, "The mountain god did not abandon me, I felt that someone is going up the mountain."

"So I said, you must treat the gods sincerely!" Ziggsai sighed, and was a little suspicious, "You shouldn't feel the soldiers on the patrol?"

Manu shook her head and said, "If you stay in the mountains for a day, you will be stained with the aura of the mountains. These people have no aura. I'm sure they just went up the mountain today."

"The enemy has increased its troops again..." Ziggsey frowned, "But it's good that way. Capturing them may lead to all the enemy troops."

"Let's go now." Manu was about to go back to wear armor, but was stopped by Ziggs.

"It's not us, it's me, you're going to stay in the camp."

Manu widened her eyes: "Without me, you can't find any trace of the enemy."

"Tell me the general direction, I will ask the sentry to investigate first, and then take the soldiers to encircle."

Manu could understand Zieges's mind, and he didn't want Manu to take risks.

"But you are the master," said Manu, "you should not take the risk."

"We shouldn't take risks, but I'm better at fighting, you're better at marching. If I die, you can still leave alive with the remaining soldiers. It's my duty to guard the Crispy Rock Valley. I won't punish you too much. What's wrong with this result?"

Manu did not argue anymore, and no matter how many disputes there were, he had to obey the orders. According to the instructions of the mountain god, the enemy lurked on the hillside on the southern slope, where there were many caves, which were an excellent place to hide.

Manu repeatedly stated that as long as he was asked to go to the south slope, he would soon find the enemy's hidden place.

But Ziegsay refused, so he still chose to use sentinels to explore until at night that he finally found the enemy's position.

Since he chose to take action, he naturally had to ensure victory with one blow. According to the clues of the sentry, Ziggsai blocked the enemy in a cave, laid out mud at the door, prepared bows and arrows and flying stones, and issued an ultimatum to the enemy.

Ziggsai shouted, "Get out of the cave immediately!"

The cave responded: "I won't come out!"

Ziggsey brought the firewood and oil barrels over: "If I don't come out again, I'll set the fire!"

"Wait a minute, I'll come out!"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly saw three people walking out of the cave. When Ziggsai saw that he knew all three of them.

Standing on the left is Chuyit, standing on the right is Cheldan, and standing in the middle is Manda.

"Sir, why are you here?"

Manda said, "You invited me. I have been here for two days before you came out to greet me."

"Two days?" Ziggsey was stunned, "Manu just received a reminder from the mountain god today..."
