Chapter 173: The Mountain Road March
When: 10/12/23/Kuromon / Location: Redpass Mansion
Abby has always called Egwen an old woman, never once grandma. The demon's exquisite disguise failed in a detail that absolutely no one would have thought of. I remember meeting a diabolist at Shadowfang Castle who could transform into someone else.
Seeing that she was panicked, I was even more sure, but she had not given up her quibble: "Ahhhh
"You are not allowed to use that name!" I can't lose to this half-man in my knowledge of my companions, and Abby can be coquettish sometimes, but not so disgustingly.
After the assembly ceremony of the coalition forces in the afternoon, it is now 8 o'clock in the evening.
Fake Abby was visibly aware of my anger, and her eyes were rolling.
Salatas kindly reminded me: "It's still normal for the time being. β
I stared at her eyes, fake Abby habitually dodged back, she knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she simply gave up, she maintained Abby's appearance, but her voice became slightly rougher: "Hmph! What the hell is going on? Sister has never missed a hand! Ermaozi is really fucking cheating, forget about her own waste, and pull the old lady into the water!"
"Ermaozi?is that the code name of the ugly ghost?" I had never heard of the ugly ghost's name, but there were only three or two hairs on his bald head, so I blew her up.
I didn't expect the fake Abby to be so easy to get into the trap, she was a little embarrassed and said, "Huh? Now, please keep your eyes in my eyes, Salalala, and forget what I just said. β
I looked at her in amazement, my mouth wide open, speechless touched by her intelligence. Now there were about seventeen or eighteen of my companions sitting in the hall, and she did not hide her childishness, so shocked that Lao Hu blushed with shame, and immediately met with a mouth from Mrs. Yang.
Fake Abby deliberately confirmed that I would not move, and the little hand shook in front of my eyes a few times, and then said proudly: "You know that the old lady is amazing, right? However, I didn't expect hypnosis to be so easy." β
βγγγγγγ β
Fake Abby stood up, patted the dirt on her body, blinked her big eyes and said, "It's fun, but I really have to run." What did they say? The wind was whistling!" The stupid girl immediately took out a hidden weapon and threw it around. I didn't think she was targeting the candles in the house, and by the time I did, it was already pitch black. I immediately cast the Torch of Light, but when the hall was lit up again, the silly girl was gone. Suddenly, her voice came from outside the wide open door: "[Suoxiao] the old lady will take it! Pastor, let your old friend be sealed in the big closet forever! It is very dark there, there is no food and no water, she must be afraid to die!
"Uh~~~ Does she mean that Abby is locked in the big closet?" everyone nodded. Minna snorted and went upstairs to save Abby.
Best arched my waist with the elbow of his second limb and said funny, "I finally met a fool, why don't you play with her a little longer?"
"I want to, too, but now that the situation is urgent, we only have an hour to prepare. The footsteps of the ancient tree are about a mile and a half away now. β
Just now, before the fake Abby happened, I performed a second operation on the siren. He was able to speak now, but he was still a little struggling to walk, and he yelled, "What are you playing, that stinky, stealing my sword!"
"Oh, she just said that the sword that the black-clothed undead threw down is called [Suoxiao], but don't worry, I also brought the [Gravedigger] from the Psychic Academy, as well as the two human head swords from Gadin's collection, but from a priest's point of view, I don't recommend using these two weird swords before the exorcism ceremony. The length and weight of [Gravedigging] are more suitable for you, although it is half as light as [Crucian King Stone], but relatively speaking, the speed at which you swing your sword will be much faster. β
The cute dwarf floated behind me at some point, about the same height as my sitting position, and she mischievously grabbed my hair: "Brother Bone, do you know that you have the potential to be a salesman?
"Hey, hey!" I was about to say something bad and choked back, but I instantly smelled a smell of vinegar, and it seemed that a pair of eyes were staring at me.
The siren complained: "Now I have to do it first, and in the future, I must get a sword that can be of the same level as the [Crucian King Stone]." β
"Eh, aren't they all one of the overlord swords, and there are levels between them?"
Siren: "That's not true, didn't that Wang Toutuo just say?" 'It's better to eat than to love it', I have to find a sword I like." β
Wang Fatzi scratched his head and replied plainly: "This proverb doesn't seem to be used like this. β
"Okay, the road ahead may not be so easy, that stupid girl still did a good thing. β
Abby walked downstairs in a huff, and I found the source of the jealousy I had just had: "Then I'm at a loss, I don't enjoy the ease." β
"When did that thing lock you up?"
Abby felt that it was a great shame to be locked up, and replied with a red face, "Just after dinner, she turned into your appearance and lied to me that there was a good staff in the cupboard... β
Minna: "Oops!
"All hands are here, ready to go. The goal of this operation is to quickly attack the enemy's lair, and everyone should try to reduce the burden and light equipment... Abby: Where's that big suitcase?"
She carried a backpack with her staff attached to her strap, a large suitcase in tow, and a tote bag in each hand.
Abby: "I just went to pick up an email. β
"Huh, why do I still receive a parcel in my mailbox???
Abby smiled slightly: "Have you heard of the legend of the postmaster? That's all to deceive children, in fact, mages will use item teleportation matrices, which is usually a portal spell." β
"Doesn't it take a nebulizer to open a portal?"
Abby: "Inanimate things require a lot less energy to travel through time. β
Yuna: "Who sent it to Sister Abby?"
Abby: "Moros and Vaire. β
"What? They're safe now?"
Abby: "No, Morros's letter says that the people of Stormwind have taken over the first, second, and third floors of Karazhan. The invaders included a large number of clerics, and when they saw the spirits and walking corpses in the tower, they naturally wanted to overtake them immediately. But you also know that spirits like Moros can't be subdued by the Light. So those priests tried to break their brains, and finally found a way to bind the spirits of the dead in ancient books. However, the clever Moros led the group to the cellar in advance, and now the humans have not found them. β
"The content in the newspaper is really trying to fish us for help. What did Moros send you?"
Abby: "Vaire has given us a lot of potions, and Moros has prepared a lot of snacks. β
"So, there should be a mage among the people hiding with Moros?"
Abby: "Well, it's the drama actress Caterina, and she uses Ao when she's not acting... Arcane magic tricks for the audience to make money. β
A look of pride appeared on Yuna's face, as if the arcane was equal to herself.
"That's easy, let's send the things we don't need for the time being to Moros and them, so that we don't have to waste our energy to run around with them. β
Abby said with a look of disgust, "If only I could send that dead kid back." Why is she lying on your back?"
"Well... Actually, I want you to lie on your stomach, but I'll have to wait until she's settled. β
Abby: "Hmph, who's going to let you carry it?"
"Without further ado, after sending the things, let's hit the road. Master Hu, two hours after we left, you will leave. β
Lao Hu's hairy face makes people feel generous and relaxed: "Follow the instructions of Taoist friends." β
The Akkin Trail is located in the northern part of Talonshire in the forests of the Yunqi Mountains, and it took us only a short time to reach the northern watchtower at the foot of the mountain. On the way, we checked the carriage that Karen Ding gave us, there are mountain roads ahead, and the carriage is not as convenient as walking, so I simply discarded the halters, saddle buns, and reins, and let the two white bone war horses return to nature, they don't need to eat, and they have no natural enemies, I don't know if they can integrate into nature, but at least they won't destroy the ecological balance, if the Eastern Plague still has ecology at all.
The area of the northern watchtower compared to Karazan is as huge as the gap between a toothpick and a white radish. There was a extinguished fire at the bottom of the tower, and I went over to see that there was a lot of sand mixed in the coke.
Minna said coldly: "A veteran with experience in the wilderness will constantly sprinkle sand on the campfire to prevent the smoke from being too big and revealing his position. That is, some time ago, the masters rested here. β
"With such a short road, they shouldn't need to rest. This is a mark left for us. β
Minna: "Keep walking, we'll find the valley entrance to the Akkin Trail before midnight." Anyway, what do you think? Even if there is a strong hand to open the way, when she arrives in Stratholme, Pamela will still be exposed to danger. β
"Now we have experts in front and behind. If the five masters miss, we can reinforce them, or we can anticipate the danger and flee as soon as possible. If even we fall into an enemy ambush, the warrior monks can cover Pamela's retreat. As for the battle after Stratholme, I didn't want to take the little girl with me, and when the time came, I just handed her over to one of the two sides. β
Minna: "It's true that this will protect Pamela closely, but it won't do any good for the overall situation of the whole battle, but will drag down the whole army." β
"You're right, but it's a long-term solution, and Pamela's abilities can play a key role in more battles in the future. β
Minna: "Hey~~~!, I didn't expect that Pamela still won't be free. β
"She's accepted the responsibility, and now it's irreparable. At least it's better to be used by me than by bad guys. β
Minna: "Hmm... Don't talk about it yet, there's a situation ahead. β
I followed the prestige, and in the dim moonlight of the galaxy, I could see nothing. Minna's bird is a type of owl with eyes that resemble night vision goggles. Before she could ask, Minna had already flown to the front.
I beckoned the group to follow the orange night stalker, and soon chased after Minna, who was half-crouched and inspecting something.
"Minna, what's that?"
Best also ran up from the end of the line with difficulty, he carried a solid wood chair on his back, and said breathlessly, "Daughter-in-law, are you tired?
Minna: "Aren't you tired of holding this thing, let's save some strength for the enemy!" and then said to me, "It's a new marker they've set up." β
I stepped forward and crouched down to check, and this time it was marked by a pile of stones.
"Does it mean anything special?"
Minna: "It means: 'Be careful'"
"Is there something in danger of them?"
Minna: "There's no sign of a fight around, and maybe they've noticed scouts following this mountain." β
"Also?"
Minna: "Just ask Abby. β
Abby: "There are two idiots who have been spying on us. β
"Please tell me sooner next time, where are they now?"
Abby: "Not around, already running." β
"It's possible that Kel'thugad sent spies, so be careful. This road is really dark enough, who brought the lantern?" Everyone was quiet for a while: "Okay, okay... "I had to waste my long-accumulated mana to light up the path in the mountains and forests.
After a while, two skeleton corpses appeared on the steep slope.
"This is the Scourge Camp, and it seems that they are not facing much obstacle. β
Abby: "There's no danger ahead. β
"Don't be careless, Abby's detection will be wrong for those who can hide the aura of magic. β
Soon, a ruined camp came into view, in addition to weapons, the Scourge did not need normal strategic supplies, they also relied on food to replenish their physical strength and magic reserves, but there was only one thing that could be written into the recipe of the undead - that is, the living. The largest building in the camp was a slaughterhouse, which was more appropriately a shack, with a row of rudimentary wooden tables stained with blood, chains and hooks attached to the eaves, and neatly outlined ribs, hips, and other bloody pieces of flesh. On the left side of the slaughterhouse are more than a dozen large wooden cages, all with open gates, and it seems that the food collected by the Scourge Legion from all over the world has been let go by several masters. The ground was littered with undead soldiers whose heads had their heads pulled out or their hearts pulled out, and because of the shredded corpses, they were spread out so large that they covered almost the entire camp.
After seeing the new mark, Minna said to everyone, "This is just the first stronghold. According to Master Zuta's shadow tip, there are two more passes ahead that are bigger than this. β
Abby whispered, "Those two guys are following again." β
"Ignore them, keep walking, and wait for them to show up before you make a move. β
Abby: "It's boring! I haven't done it in a long time. β
"When you get to Stratholme, you have the opportunity to kill. β
Abby: "Who's Stratholme's guard?"
"I don't know yet. β
After another hour of nightfall, we came to the second Scourge camp.
At a glance, I saw a bear stuck in a sharpened log.
Minna exclaimed even more in surprise, waking up Pamela who was lying on my back: "Master Bell!"
"Damn! There is an ambush! All men are ready for battle!" Before the words fell, about twenty undead archers appeared on the wall, and with the order of the female corpse leader with scarred faces, ten thousand arrows were firedγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγγ (Rabbit pen Kang slugging cow)
