The sudden appearance of enemy forces and a lama aroused Luo Zheng's suspicion. The lama's physique and appearance initially seemed very similar to the State Preceptor, but his face was obscured by a scarf, making identification difficult. With satellite support, Lan Xing could easily identify his skull. Looking at the escort team, their guns never left their hands, and they appeared tense, as if facing a formidable foe.
The team was getting closer. Should they attack or not? If the lama was indeed the State Preceptor, not attacking would mean missing an opportunity. But if they did attack, they could eliminate the lama, and the hundred or so enemies wouldn't pose too much concern. After the attack, they could vanish into the forest, impossible to track. The idea tempted Luo Zheng.
