Chapter 132 Tactical horses are all clouds
"Because the island is influenced by the mysterious power of Queen Himehu, many strange phenomena will occur."
Louis answered Alex Wes' questions seriously, but was treated as a joke by Wes and Laura, and then focused all his attention on the communication and did not continue to ask about this matter.
At this point, there are more and more differences from the game. There are no members of the Sun Brotherhood who seem to be unable to kill them in any way. Those people will not be bored so that they arrange patrols and guards in various locations throughout the island.
Louis and his friends successfully arrived at the signal tower and did not encounter any enemies. For them, the biggest enemy was the huge change in temperature and the extremely difficult rugged mountain road.
After successfully arriving at the signal tower, Laura volunteered to climb to the top to send a distress signal.
Her reason is very good. Here she is the lightest, relatively least risky, and she is very good at climbing.
"Good luck!" Wes looked at the high signal tower, and he couldn't even have the idea of trying it out. Although he had a good impression of Laura in his heart, he wanted to show himself in front of Laura and leave a deep impression on Laura.
But he has sufficient self-knowledge and the probability of his own failure to make a mistake is much greater than success.
As for Louis, both of them felt that his tall figure and weight would be a burden, and climbing the signal tower was much more dangerous than Laura.
So Louis finally gave me one sentence: "May the Force be with you!", and then stood down with Wes in Laura's eyes and watched the fun.
What happened next was similar to the original plot. Laura successfully contacted the rescue plane, and the plane happened to be looking for Perseverance nearby. They received a helping signal and came out to rescue work. When they were about to give up, they received a helping message from Laura.
This is also the reason why the rescue plane could fly to the island so quickly. What happened next is still similar to the plot: the search and rescue plane successfully found the island, but was destroyed by the lightning released by the dark clouds that suddenly gathered over and fell directly on the island.
At that time, Laura and Wes' expressions were broken. They vaguely heard some voice saying something, but unfortunately they didn't understand what they were saying.
"What's going on? Why does this happen?"
The dark clouds disappeared quickly after the rescue plane crash. With that strange sound, it was abnormal no matter how you look at it. Laura and Wes both remembered the joke Louis had made before. Could it be that what Louis said was actually true?
Laura, who was full of doubts in her heart, then found a temple dedicated to Himehu in the mountains. Laura learned some information from the mural: the inheritance of power.
"I have a bad feeling..."
Looking at these murals, coupled with the legends that Shanmantha had told many times, and the strange events she encountered after coming to this island, Laura began to feel that there was some mysterious force on this island.
"Maybe, those legends are more than just stories."
Laura looked at Louis a few more times. As the time of contact increased, she gradually realized Louis' unusualness. It was just that Louis was always helping her. Laura did not rush to ask Louis who he was? What was his purpose.
Just as everyone returned and was about to reunite with Ross, Laura received a communication from Green.
Angus Grimaldi, the helmsman of the Tinto, nicknamed Grimaldi, followed Captain Ross around for many years. He is an experienced adventurer. After the Tinto was shipwrecked, Grimaldi drifted to the island and got separated from all his companions.
With his rich adventure experience, Green did not encounter any trouble, and he unexpectedly met Shanmantha, who was caught by the Sun Brotherhood.
Instead of rushing out to die, he hid in secret and followed the group of people, determining where Shanmansha was taken. He never took the initiative to communicate with everyone, but just kept adjusting the channel of the communicator until he determined the communication channel used by his partners, and then he took the initiative to contact his partners.
After briefly explaining his situation, Grelin also told everyone that Shanmansha was locked in a building similar to the ancient Japanese imperial palace.
"Good job, old man!"
When I knew where the captured partner was, my next goal was to rescue the partner. The only regret was that the rescue plane crashed inexplicably.
"Go together first and then decide how to rescue Shanmantha." Ross's idea was very simple. It was not a good idea to disperse again at this time. Everyone gathered together first, and then thought about how to rescue Shanmantha and Reyes from the group of strange guys. After all, the other party has many people and still has weapons.
Everyone quickly met up. It was a relatively secret corner. At the corner of the mountain wall, there were dense bushes next to it to avoid being discovered.
Everyone gathered here, including Gerlin, who had no trace before.
"How is the situation?" Seeing that everyone was here, Ross directly asked Green where the other party was and the general layout of the so-called palace.
"It's not very good. The building in the ancient palace seems to cover a large area, and there is only one bridge leading to the main entrance. There are many guards on it, so I can't get too close." Gerlin could only watch the group of people from afar and bring Shanmansha into the palace.
While speaking, he also glanced at Louis from time to time. Rose, who had been tacit understanding for many years, understood that the old guy was asking, "Can this person trust?" with his eyes.
Ross did not give any reply, and Glen immediately understood that Ross did not fully trust this stranger and needed to be on the right track.
Louis could detect the two people's small movements, but he did not point it out. He just listened to Gelin's introduction and figured out the location of the palace.
After discussing for a while, I found that if I wanted to rescue Shanmansha and Reyes, I had to forcibly attack into the palace. They could not avoid the guards on the bridge.
"Then don't avoid it."
"What's the meaning?"
At this time, Louis didn't have to keep a low profile anymore: "Since there is no other choice, we will attack directly from the front."
"This..." Ross and Glenn looked at each other, wondering if this guy was an undercover agent sent by the enemy and deliberately lured them into the pit?
But Ross saw Louis killing many of those guys with his own eyes just to be an undercover agent among them. As for so many lives? This is also the reason why Ross maintains a certain trust in Louis.
"Is it too reckless?"
"There is no better way, and we don't have much time to research better plans." Louis glanced at Laura, she should be able to understand what she meant.
Laura realized to a certain extent the mysterious power of Humihu, and she vaguely guessed the reason why Shanmansha was captured, but those were just her own guesses, and this possibility was too difficult for people to believe. Even she herself doubted the authenticity, so she didn't say it out.
"What are you going to do?" Ross thought for a while, thinking about Louis's opinion first.
As soon as Louis spoke, Rose kicked Louis aside the possibility that he was an undercover agent, because no one with normal mind could make such suggestions.
"I am responsible for the frontal attack, you can observe and support from a distance." I don't know where Ross found a sniper rifle, even if Ross has injured his leg, he can help.
"Are you alone?"
"Yes, I'm enough for myself."
“…”
Everyone looked at Louis speechlessly. Now they all believed that Louis was not a bad guy. Now they suspected that Louis might have an abnormal mind? Or maybe he bumped his head when he was killed? Or did he get excited on this island?
"Although you have shown extraordinary courage, we cannot let you die." Ross waved his hand and did not agree with Louis' plan: "If we attack the palace head-on, it is hard to say anything that those people will do to Shanmansha..."
Louis stopped Rose's words and told everyone in a very affirmative tone: "They will not do anything to Shanmansha for the time being, because those guys are going to offer Shanmansha as a sacrifice to Himehu."
"What? Sacrifice?"
Everyone was stunned, only Laura asked Louis: "Are you saying that those people are believers of Mimihu? They want to offer Shanmansha to Mimihu?"
"That's what it means." In fact, it is not just about offering it to Himehu, but about using Sanmansha as a container for Himehu's reincarnation. But now it's useless to say that this is useful, just let these people understand the general situation.
"Those strange guys? Are they a group of cult believers?" In the eyes of Ross and others, they don't think that the behavior of giving living people to a legendary existence is a magical one. The legendary story is just a legendary story. At most, it is a tribal leader a long time ago.
"It's almost the same... So no matter what action we do, Shanmansha is safe before the ceremony begins... If we wait until the ceremony begins..."
Ross looked at Louis and did not ask him how he knew these things. Compared to the situation Sanmantha faced, such things can be put aside first: "It's too dangerous to attack from the front."
"Anyway, there is no other way. If I fail, you can consider other plans." Louis did not continue to try to convince them, and stood up and prepared to go to the palace.
When everyone saw Louis stand up, they didn't say anything, but packed up their things together and followed Louis to the bridge on the front of the palace.
Laura checked the longbow and arrows, and was about to ask Louis's offensive plan, she found that Louis was just walking towards the bridge in a dignified manner, without any concealment... and no one misunderstood that Louis was about to betray them, because Louis raised his hand and shot him to kill the guard.
"This guy is actually a lunatic, right?"
