Xin Sheng carefully hid behind the rocks near the safe haven and quietly observed the situation inside and outside the cave.

It's just past 13:00 p.m. now.

The Aegean Sea has a suitable climate and is not particularly cold in winter. Several Spartan soldiers are gathering on the beach to enjoy the warm afternoon sun.

Many people have similar experiences, and they can easily get sleepy when they do nothing.

“Ha~”

In the bright sunshine, five Spartan soldiers yawned one after another, looking drowsy.

From Xin Sheng's hiding place, he could vaguely hear a little conversation, and they seemed to be discussing how to rotate lunch breaks.

As a result, it came out soon, and only one unlucky guy with a bitter face continued to stay outside the cave to stand guard. The other four people laughed and entered the cave together, preparing to have a beautiful sleep.

Xin Sheng was not anxious and continued to hide behind the rocks for more than ten minutes before starting to move his position.

After going around and reaching the top of the cave, Xin Sheng found a shooting point with a good view, slowly pulled apart the bow string of Artemis's bow, and pointed the sharp arrows on the string at the depressed Spartan soldier.

"Maraka! Why is it me!"

The Spartan soldier kicked the sand on the ground with his feet in anger, completely unaware that he had been targeted by the god of death.

"Swoosh!"

After careful aiming, the sharp arrow accurately pierced through the Spartan soldier's neck without any deviation, blocking his screams in his throat.

"Ho! Hoo!"

It has to be said that the Spartan soldier is very resilient. Even though he was fatally injured, the soldier still wanted to struggle to climb into the cave and inform his companions to pay attention to the enemy's attack.

Unfortunately, the serious injury prevented him from continuing to move, and the pain of difficulty breathing quickly made him faint and entered the final countdown before his death.

Confirming that the Spartan soldiers fainted and fell to the ground, Xin Sheng asked Dahuang to start the action first.

The flexible dog rushed down from above the cave, stepped on the protruding rocks and moved quickly to the beach, biting the fallen soldiers' leather armor and dragging them into the sea.

"Cry, cry!"

Just as Xin Sheng was planning to sneak into the cave and kill the remaining soldiers one by one, Daedalus, who had been flying in the sky to monitor the ground, suddenly screamed out.

Xin Sheng's face changed. This call meant an emergency. He immediately looked up into the sky.

Daedalus was flying in circles in the sky, indicating that an enemy was approaching.

‘There is indeed a Governor’s man in the Temple of Artemis.’

After pursing his lips, Xin Sheng gave up the steady infiltration strategy and accelerated his pace to enter the cave.

Four Spartan soldiers surrounded the fire and each slept with a rock pillar.

Xin Sheng hugged and came to the first soldier, covering his mouth and suppressing his screams while using a short knife to cut off his throat.

"Well!"

The short scream made the other three soldiers' eyelids turn, as if they were about to wake up.

At this time, Xin Sheng couldn't help but think of the hugging sword in Nima's hand. The short sword that is conducive to slashing is indeed not very suitable for assassination.

Putting down the soldier who had no hope of survival, Xin Sheng pushed the ground with his legs and rushed to the middle of the two Spartan soldiers who had just opened their eyes and were still confused.

Two short knives slashed from different directions, cutting into the necks of the two soldiers almost at the same time.

"ah!!"

“There are…invaders!”

"Sher!"

While pulling out the short sword, the last Spartan soldier woke up and subconsciously touched his side and picked up his weapon.

It was too late to get closer, so Xin Sheng threw out the short knife in his right hand.

Just as he held his hand on the spear, the Spartan soldier hit the chest with a short knife.

After the blade entered the flesh about two centimeters, it was accidentally blocked by the ribs on the chest and could not be inserted further into the enemy's body.

Although it failed to cause fatal injuries, the short sword thrown strongly caused great damage to the Spartan soldiers' sternum.

Without waiting for the final survivor to react, Xin Sheng and Dahuang who had just arrived in the cave attacked at the same time.

"Aowoo!"

Dahuang rushed, bit the enemy's left thigh tightly, and her heavy body hung directly on the other party, limiting his movements.

Xin Sheng followed closely, and the short knife in his left hand slashed down. The Spartan soldier who could not move could only watch the short knife approaching his neck.

"Huh~"

He quickly took out four Spartan soldiers, and Xin Sheng asked Dahuang to guard the door. Once someone approached the cave, he immediately reminded him with a cry.

Xin Sheng continued to move deep into the cave and soon found a secret port that was obviously converted by population.

At this time, there were no ships in the port, but a small cave near the dock stored several volumes of papyrus documents that looked very suspicious.

"Woom!"

Dahuang's cry made Xin Sheng feel nervous.

“It’s coming so fast.”

"Shh!"

He used a whistle to recall the rhubarb and Xin Sheng put all the papyrus into the carpel armor on his chest.

When he met with Dahuang who was running towards him, Xin Sheng had already heard the noise outside the cave.

"Suck~"

Taking a deep breath, Xin Sheng jumped from the port, and pierced into the water with a fierce pier, and Dahuang followed him and jumped into the water.

This secret port is an island haven, and it is necessary to have a certain draft for medium-sized ships to dock.

After entering the water, Xin Sheng immediately dived downward and slowly swam outward against the seabed about 10 meters deep. Dahuang leisurely exposed her head and used a dog-climbing swimming to leave.

Anyway, no one cares about a seemingly loyal yellow-haired dog. At the critical moment, Dahuang's acting skills are still very good.

The pressure at a depth of 10 meters is not too strong, and Xin Sheng, who has excellent physical fitness, can withstand it.

From the bottom of the water, only the angry curses above could be heard vaguely, and Xin Sheng did not focus on the enemy for the time being.

Concentrate on maintaining a shallow water state with breath-holding breath, and slowly swim to the open water outside the port without causing obvious water waves.

"Puff~"

Bypassing a reef that was mostly inserted into the bottom of the water, Xin Sheng poked his head out of the water, and Dahuang came to meet quickly.

The location of each person and a dog at this time was a short distance from the safe haven. You could see more than a dozen horses gathered outside the cave, and an elite Spartan soldier who stayed to take care of the horses.

After getting ashore, they quickly climbed the reef and left the beach. Xin Sheng and Dahuang, who were wet, quickly rushed to the woods where Pegas was.

"Look for it! You must find the murderer! You must never let him leave Ubiya Island alive!"

An angry roar floated from afar from the direction of the safe haven. At this time, Xin Sheng had already ridden on Pegas and sank into the forest again.

...

"let me see."

Allowing Pegas to advance into the deep mountains and forests by himself, Xin Sheng took out the wet rolls of papyrus from his chest and spread them out.

Most of these scrolls of papyrus are incoming and outgoing orders that record numbers, and only one volume contains a lot of words, which should be a letter.

The ink stains melted by water cannot be fully identified, but it can be roughly seen that Schirex did have secret contacts with the Persians of Thrace.

And an important name was mentioned in the letter.

"In the name of Bosanias...he~ finally the fox's tail is revealed."
