Chapter 400 Snow Wolf Warrior
For a tribe living on the snowy plains, missing persons are a relatively normal occurrence.
After all, this place is covered in ice and snow all year round, and even hunters have to travel in groups, not to mention extreme weather like blizzards. It is perfectly normal for one person to go missing occasionally.
Some people even didn't want to live in this tribe, and it wasn't uncommon for them to secretly leave.
Nobody took these things seriously.
However, it is abnormal for a large number of people to leave for several consecutive days.
Ordinary people may not be deeply aware of this matter. After all, they have been too busy with offerings and strange diseases to care about the affairs of marginalized people.
In their view, these people who died were probably tormented to death by that strange disease and then abandoned somewhere.
However, as the tribe's apparent ruler, the wolf-headed priest was quite astute enough to notice this.
However, the shrewd and calculating man was not in a hurry, but instead began to investigate secretly.
He soon discovered the Isaac brothers who were leading people out of the country.
The wolf-headed priest recognized the two men; after all, they had given him quite a fright when they stormed onto the altar.
They began leading people away under the guise of curing a strange disease.
Even without being told, the wolf-headed priests believed they knew that this act was tantamount to defection.
Not only did he defect himself, but he also instigated others to defect. This would be an extremely serious crime in any tribe.
The two brothers knew this was wrong, and could potentially lead to execution, but thinking of those suffering from illness, they still went ahead and transported people to both sides without hesitation.
They tried to be discreet, but they were still discovered.
The wolf-headed priest did not punish them on the spot. He did not even show himself, but hid in a secluded place and watched the whole scene unfold.
He certainly didn't think this matter should be left unresolved; on the contrary, he was determined to deal with it.
Although he was mentally prepared, he still wouldn't allow such a thing to happen under his command until that day actually arrived.
Bringing one or two along is fine, but bringing too many will increase the influence, and if word gets back to the gods, you'll definitely be the first one to be executed.
So the wolf-headed priest secretly noted down their transaction time, and when the next transaction came, the wolf-headed priest also sent a team of people to personally follow along.
This is how the Snow Wolf Warriors team came to be.
Although their numbers are small, don't underestimate them. They are all warriors blessed by the Frostwolf God, and their combat power is far beyond that of ordinary people.
For example, the giant bear that wiped out the team earlier posed no threat to them.
The wolf-headed priest didn't go with the whole group, mainly because the tribe had too many things to deal with. So he stayed behind to oversee the tribe and wait for good news from the snow wolf warrior team.
.............
With their excellent tracking abilities, the snow wolf warriors made their way forward and soon arrived at the vicinity of the temple.
The leader, named Enta, was the most outstanding warrior in the Snow Wolf Warriors Squad, and his strength was renowned even within the tribe.
He had excellent eyesight, and even from a great distance, he could still see the plaque hanging on the temple.
"White... Fox Temple... What a strange name..."
"It doesn't look like a village..."
After repeating the name on the plaque, Enta began to formulate a battle plan.
There are two options. The first is to wait where you are, taking advantage of the enemy's presence in the open while you are in the dark, and wait for Isaac and his group to return to the village to rescue people. Then you can launch an ambush on them and interrogate them to find out the truth.
Another method, which is simpler, is to launch a direct raid, using overwhelming strength to massacre the people in the temple, leaving only a few survivors.
Both methods have their advantages. The first method is more reliable, but its disadvantage is that it is inefficient. The second method is more efficient, but its disadvantage is that it carries certain risks.
After some thought, Enta decided to choose the second option. After all, although he could endure the cold weather, he didn't want to squat in the snow for too long.
The team members believe so too...
Of course, a surprise attack should not be carried out blindly; all preparations should be made before launching one.
First, we need to check if there are any deities here.
In this snowy plain, such large settlements are usually protected by deities. After all, competition on this snowy plain is extremely fierce. If you don't have the protection of a deity, you will be swallowed up by other tribes in no time.
Therefore, testing the gods is a necessary matter. The wolf-headed priest gave Enta a method to test the gods. If there are gods protecting them here, they must rethink their plans.
Although gods rarely intervene in wars between humans, in crucial moments, anything can happen.
However, what happened next was quite unexpected, because such a large stronghold was found to be unprotected by any deity under his inspection, which meant that it was an independent force.
This made Enta more alert, but also more vigilant. Although independent forces were few in number on the snowfield, they did exist. Those who could survive in this way were all quite powerful.
"What should we do, Captain? Should we fight?"
The team members also saw Enta's test results. Although they were strong fighters, to be honest, no one wanted to fight a powerful enemy.
As the team's decision-maker, Enta hesitated for a while before finally choosing to launch a surprise attack. The reason was simple: the wolf-headed priest had instructed him to complete the mission to the greatest extent possible before leaving.
If it goes well, then...
Enta stopped thinking about it, because he saw the temple gate suddenly open, and a monk carrying a broom walked out and began to slowly sweep the snow at the temple entrance.
Were we discovered?
The team members tensed up and quickly prepared for battle, but after a while, they found that those people were still standing in place sweeping snow, showing no intention of coming towards them.
Probably not. If his perception were that strong, he would never stand outside alone... unless...
Is it bait?
As a special forces unit of the Frostwolf tribe, the Snow Wolf Warriors possess excellent combat skills. They do not blindly charge forward; instead, when faced with battle, they cooperate like a wolf pack to hunt down their enemies effectively.
"Nail him down first..."
After a moment's thought, Enta gave the order to the group, and as soon as he finished speaking, several snow wolf warriors drew their short spears from their backs.
