Chapter 699: Chapter 442: This Fisherman’s Situation Is Gripping!_2

Seeing them carrying their packages atop the sandbags, the divine servants suddenly shouted and charged towards Sean Knight and his men.

At this moment, those five men found themselves in an awkward position.

Should they fight or not?

Should they pursue or not?

Sean Knight and his men had no intention of getting into any quarrels with these people; after all, there was not any real reason to do so.

We would mind our business and you would mind yours—how perfect that would have been!

However, clearly, the other party did not share the same thoughts!

As they saw more than a dozen men, armed to the teeth, charging towards them, all the while shooting, Sean Knight and his gang knew that running away was probably no longer an option!

"Bang Bang Bang Bang!"

The four men, with perfect understanding, turned and took cover behind the mounds of sand, shooting down at the oncoming enemies.

"Don’t just focus on the divine servants, encompass those five men as well!"

Sean Knight noticed that those five men had no intention of leaving. Each stationed themselves some distance away, clearly plotting to fish in troubled waters!

He wouldn’t let them off easy!

Lincoln Harrington aimed a shot at the heavy machine gunner amid those five, who slapped to the ground without uttering a moan.

On the other hand, the dozen or so divine servants found themselves pinned down and unable to advance or retreat under the pressure from Sean Knight and his men!

Their cover might have been sufficient protection against the five men, but for Sean Knight and his men, it was merely set dressing!

Utterly useless!

Armed with automatic rifles, Sean Knight and his men seemed relaxed as they engaged in short burst fire, wiping out several of them in no time.

However, those divine servants courageously refused to back down. Seeing they couldn’t break through, one of them suddenly pulled out a long-handled hand grenade and threw it towards Sean Knight and his men!

The hand grenade was too far from Sean Knight and his team, failing to hit them, and fell into the pit they had been digging.

"Boom!"

A huge blast caused a large crater to materialize atop the sand mound, revealing the architectural structure of the divine temple within!

This upset the remaining four men!

If they continued blasting, the divine temple they had so painstakingly discovered would be ruined!

Clearly, while these five men had been traversing this area for quite some time, they had not discovered the existence of the divine temple due to the divine servants!

"Wagner, look!" one of them pointed towards the large crater and excitedly shouted, "Isn’t that the divine temple we’ve been looking for?"

"Indeed, the temple recorded in the diary does have these types of walls..."

The man referred to as Captain Wagner, while looking at the wall of the divine temple that was revealed due to the explosion of the hand grenade, mumbled:

"According to the diary, the temple houses treasures accumulated over centuries, and numerous gold coins brought by the Desert Fox’s men during World War II..."

"Does that mean we are about to hit a jackpot?" the one who started the conversation had stars twinkling in their eyes:

"Wagner, what are we waiting for? If we let those lunatics throw a few more hand grenades, who knows if the temple might be razed? Will we have to dig through sand then?"

Wagner immediately snapped out of it, lifting his gun and began firing at the divine servants who were still wildly rushing upwards and continuously lobbing hand grenades!

At first, the divine servants were just mindlessly throwing hand grenades, but once they exploded, the sand and smoke created a visual barrier that allowed them to charge towards Sean Knight and his men.

After discovering this, the other divine servants did not hesitate in throwing hand grenades, intending not to kill enemies, but to block the sight of Sean Knight and his men, so that they could make their advance!

What they didn’t know was that the vision of Sean Knight and his men was much better than ordinary people!

Even though the cloud of dust could possibly blind the divine servants, if it weren’t for the mercy of Sean Knight and his men, they would have been wiped out by now!

Sean Knight had been carefully observing the actions of the four men. Seeing them suddenly begin to fire at the divine servants, he knew his plan had worked, and spoke to Elijah Hastings and his men:

"Slow down your fire, let them fight it out first!"

The divine servants were taken aback by the sudden attack from behind, and several were knocked down on the spot.

They then started returning fire, but their tactics and skills were evidently inferior to their enemies. While the four men kept retaliating, the divine servants struggled even to lift their heads!

Neither side noticed that by then, Sean Knight and his men had ceased firing, and were quietly observing while lying behind the sandbags.

"Boss, shall we retreat?" Elijah Hastings suggested, seeing both sides were engaged in battle.

"No, let them fight a bit longer, we need to see if we can bury both parties." This time, Sean Knight made up his mind:

"Once we leave with our loot, if any one of them manages to escape, we might face an endless pursuit afterwards!"

The divine servants might not realize it, but those five men certainly had their back-ups. Considering they even managed to bring a plane, it was probably not an issue that could be resolved simply with money.

Elijah Hastings and his men immediately got it.

"What do we do?" Douglas excitedly asked.

"Look, both parties have by now detected the pit and the divine temple and have either guessed or confirmed that the pit is their guarding target or what they have been looking for."

Sean Knight’s analysis was clear as day.

Just one look at both sides - one is fiercely resisting and the other frantically trying to reach the divine temple, confirmed that Sean Knight was correct.

"As long as they have reached the divine temple, we can then throw a few hand grenades from here, and bury them all in the sand."

Sean Knight’s plan was simple, on the basis of the arched surrounding walls beneath the divine temple.
