Chapter 287 - 179 Brochi’s Messenger
"Good!" Temagis replied with only one word, then hurried off to gather his warriors. He was equally anxious because there were many of his tribesmen in the outer camp.
"What are you all doing crowding here! Go back to your tents, put on your armor, grab your weapons, and be ready at any moment for the call to battle!" Andres shouted loudly to the warriors gathered around the wooden walls, "Don’t worry, the Great Chief Temagis has already led his team to the rescue, and they will soon drive away the enemy!..."
Andres, accompanied by his guards, shouted over and over again until his voice was hoarse, finally persuading the startled and unsettled warriors to return.
At this moment, standing atop the outer camp tower, Andres finally had the leisure to contemplate the origin of the enemy who attacked the camp while observing the advancing Temagis’ troops.
The mercenaries in the camp? Now the mercenaries were completely surrounded. To prevent them from launching a surprise attack from the camp, Andres ordered the warriors to fill the trenches in front of the inner camp with torches and set up dozens of patrols to detect any movement from the mercenaries. But so far, the mercenary camp remained very quiet, even with the chaos caused by the night raid outside, there was no movement from them.
The originally hidden mercenaries outside? If it was the same group that attacked the supply convoy, then what was Pulikas doing who was responsible for chasing them down? But reportedly, that mercenary group was not very large in number and could not have staged such a large-scale offensive as tonight! Could there be other hidden mercenary forces outside? But ever since that setback, every area within ten or twenty miles had been searched, and nothing unusual was found!
Could it be the Aldeans? But when the camp was moved again and the mercenary camp was surrounded, special efforts were made to strengthen the defenses on the western side and trenches were dug to completely cut off contact between the Aldeans and the mercenaries and to prevent their surprise attacks. Could it be that the warriors defending the west relaxed their vigilance tonight and allowed the Aldeans to break into the camp? But these cowardly Aldeans had provided no assistance to the mercenaries during the Alliance Army’s two large-scale assaults on the camp, so where would they get the courage to launch a nighttime raid after the army had breached the camp?...
Andres pondered over and over but could not get a clear understanding.
He kept a close watch on the movements of the inner camp mercenaries while closely monitoring the situation of Temagis fighting outside the camp.
However, even when the sounds of shouting and killing outside the camp had ceased and the flames extinguished, there was still no sign of Temagis returning with his team.
Andres felt uneasy, quickly sent people out of the camp to investigate, and finally received the news that the enemy had fled, and Temagis was leading his team to rescue the injured soldiers in the camp.
