Chapter 97 Small Base (Subscribe)

"What is it?" Amy asked curiously.

"Judging from the energy structure, it should belong to the category of shrine."

Jieming described in detail the information he had collected.

"A shrine guarded by elite orcs?" Victor frowned and asked in a low voice, "Jereming, are you sure? The guards there are at least battle-hardened orc warriors, and there might even be shamans or other professions that can manipulate the power of gods. The three of us..."

Amy was also a little nervous. She gripped her staff tightly. "We just landed. Isn't it too risky to go straight to trouble the orc elites?"

Jieming glanced at the two calmly: "It is precisely because they are elite guards that their scale is small."

He explained it to the two of them in detail: "In order to maintain maximum secrecy, the core guard of such an important faith hub will never be too large. They will be elite, with no more than a dozen people. The number of outer core guards can be larger, but not in the hundreds."

"Furthermore, the strength of this shrine is not very high. According to my reconnaissance, although the strength of the guards inside is quite good, it is within the range of what we can deal with."

He paused, then continued, "Secondly, we need to explore the combat styles of this world's intelligent creatures, to see how they utilize their extraordinary powers and their combat habits. This will help us understand the enemy, and if we can capture them alive, perhaps we can even gather some intelligence."

"If the opponent's strength is within our capabilities, we can consider it. After all... it is indeed necessary to collect some intelligence." Victor frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"I'm still unclear about the specific situation in this plane. I need to at least get some basic intelligence on the enemy."

Amy nodded in agreement. "And there's also language-related information. After all, disguises will inevitably require this..."

"Also," Jemin pointed in the general direction of the shrine, "Although this shrine is small, based on analysis of its energy fluctuations and structure, it should be a faith hub for the orcish troops in the surrounding area, capable of providing continuous blessings and restoration to the orcs on the front lines."

"Destroying it will have a positive impact on the battle situation in this area and earn us a large amount of contribution points." He added, "More importantly, this is a perfect opportunity to hone our combat coordination."

Victor and Amy looked at each other and nodded - they were convinced.

Both of them also understand that risks and opportunities coexist.

Not to mention the importance of intelligence, the contribution to this overall test alone is quite important. It is not just a simple number, but also a tangible benefit that can be obtained in the future.

"Since we've decided to attack, we must act quickly and decisively. Try to sneak directly into their core area and kill them instantly. We'll then decide whether to spare any of them or not depending on the situation."

Seeing both men nod in agreement, Jieming quickly arranged the relevant matters: "After eliminating the enemy's core units, don't get too entangled. While escaping quickly, kill as many enemies as possible who are trying to track us."

The two had no objection to his arrangement. Through the previous crusade against the monster, the three of them had already invisibly established Jemin's leadership position.

Amy nodded and pulled out a magical weapon from the backpack behind her: "I can use this to search souls and obtain information. As long as I act quickly enough, it can be done in a dozen breaths."

"A fifth-level magical weapon, you actually have such a good thing?" Benjamin raised his eyebrows.

Victor on the side also looked a little surprised.

What Amy took out was a magical weapon specially used to search for intelligence, and it was engraved with the witchcraft model of "Soul Search".

Soul Search can be constructed starting from level one wizard, but the effect becomes better as the wizard's level increases.

If a first-level wizard uses it, it will take a long time and can only obtain some sporadic information, and most of it is probably useless information.

And the soul of the person who is freed from witchcraft will also be broken.

At level five, not only does it take very little time, but you can also search for relevant information in a targeted manner.

Benjamin also had some preparations, but they were not as high-level as Amy's. Since Amy had taken them out, he would not take his own.

After all, they are now a small team, so it would be better for everyone to make some contributions to each other.

"Hehe... I only got this thanks to my mother's connections." Amy showed an embarrassed smile on her face.

Benjamin nodded and immediately changed his previous plan. "In that case, let's revise the plan. I will try to leave behind a relatively important enemy. In addition to language information and basic intelligence, you should also look into the enemy's soul to see if there is any information related to searching for us wizards. If you can find their route of movement, that would be even better."

"That's right. In this way, we can determine the next direction of action based on the intelligence. If the number of people is small, we can eliminate them all on the spot. If the number of enemies is large, we can find their weak points and escape." Victor also agreed.

After all, it was their first time participating in a real plane battlefield, so even though the enemy was not strong, the three of them were quite cautious.

After confirming the next plan briefly, the three of them quickly reached a consensus, quickly adjusted their status, and sneaked towards the target selected by Jieming.

On the tactical map constructed by his Five Elements Transforming into a Rainbow Mirror, the movement trajectory of each orc patrol, even the faint life fluctuations and rough energy flows on their body surfaces, are clearly visible.

He chose the best sneak route, avoiding all patrols, and approached the shrine silently like a ghost.

This time, Amy and Victor truly realized Benjamin's "terrifying" intelligence advantage.

Under Benjamin's guidance, they sneaked in as if they were in an empty space.

Benjamin sometimes signaled them to stop and sometimes asked them to speed up.

Because they were worried about being discovered by the enemy, the two of them tacitly stopped using reconnaissance witchcraft.

But until they reached the core area, no one discovered them.

Finally, a cave emitting faint light appeared before them.

Inside the cave is a small shrine made of rocks and huge vines, with primitive and powerful totems carved on it.

Ten burly orc elites patrolled idly around the shrine. Eight of them were muscular warriors wielding great axes, while the other two were shamans wielding bone staffs and painted with strange pigments.

The aura they exude is several times stronger than the monsters they encountered before, and has reached the level of a third-level apprentice. The two shamans have reached the peak level of a third-level apprentice.
