It was quiet, almost silent on the Iron Ore Ridge, and Alec and Claudir were divided into two groups, their small teams lined up on the Iron Ore Ridge, carefully conducting a carpet search.

Ahead of Gilberg are Claudir and his Wood Elf Praetorian Army, and their good eyesight in the dark makes them better at spotting the evil that lurks in the night.

Alec and his Tateks were on their heels behind the Wood Elf Forbidden Army led by Crodir. As agreed, once the Wood Elf Praetorian discovered the goblin and lizardmen's lurking place and set up an ambush in the path where the goblins and lizardmen had to escape, they would immediately and quickly enter the area.

The tacit cooperation between the two sides made the operation go smoothly, and one after another the goblins and lizardmen hiding in the forest were found and destroyed, even if there were occasional goblins or lizardmen who found the night attack fleeing, they were shot through the head by the wood elf forbidden army in ambush on the periphery.

"Continue the search, and be sure to get to the southern foot of the iron ore mountain before dawn. We shouldn't miss a lot of things in our search. Alec dropped a goblin-looking head at Clodil's feet, then smiled and patted Clodil on the shoulder, "Good job! Young Wood Elf Officer! ”

"Let's go, I hope nothing happens!" Claudir lifted his foot and crushed the goblin's head, "Again, Chief, we're running out of time. You have to move more quickly. ”

The star of Xiaoqiong, which always represents the north, is more starry, but the night sky beyond the stars is also getting darker.

"The first light is about to rise. It's the darkness before dawn! Crodil looked at the darkening night sky, his face hidden in the darkness under his robe and hood, and then he whispered to the Wood Elf Forbidden Army beside him, "Be sure to speed up." ”

Under the darkness, there seemed to be a slight sound of running water around him.

"There's a smell of charcoal in the air, stop moving!" Crodil's keen sense of smell allowed him to make an accurate judgment, he suddenly stopped, his raised hand and five fingers spread, and the wood elf forbidden army stopped in place for a moment, and crouched in the dead grass together under the cover of low dead grass.

"The southern foot of the Iron Ore Ridge seems to be coming, and the sound of the water is like the southern tributary of the great river Lindisfark. There must be goblins and lizardmen lurking in the water source, so be vigilant. Orach, Otah, pass the words down one by one, pay attention to the surroundings. The darkness grew so dark that Alec didn't see Crodir's gesture, and he whispered orders to Orach and Ota beside him.

There was a sudden shrill cry in the darkness, and the hissing sound caused the chill of the wood elves and centaurs to be heard from the backbone to the back of the head.

Their ears pricked up as they tried to discern where the sound was coming from, and the wood elves, who were good at seeing things at night, finally discovered the source of the sound.

It was a thief-headed lizardman spearman, who scanned the darkness in front of him warily, the black iron spear clenched in the webbed toes of his forelimbs shimmering with stars.

"Samra said, what's up ahead!" The lizardman hissed menacingly, and he jumped off the surveillance post, stabbing and slapping at the pitch-black dead grass with the black iron spear held in the webbed toes of his forelimbs.

The hearts of centaurs and wood elves have risen to their throats.

All the wood elves and centaurs lurking in the dead grass and behind the beech held their breath in unison, and the glances they exchanged seemed to indicate that the alert lizardmen had put them in extreme danger.

"Although he was just a non-threatening lizardman spearman, he could see dozens of shoddy thatched huts behind him through the gaps in the dead grass, and if he shouted, all the sleeping goblins and lizardmen would be awakened. And this is the source of water, and the number of goblins and lizardfolk stationed here is not a small number. Alec understood the gravity of the situation, and the beads of sweat on his forehead reflected his anxiety at this moment, and he gently waved his hand, signaling the Tatek around him not to act rashly.

"Samra said, what the hell are the guys out there?" The Lizardman Lancer's hiss grew sharper and sharper, and he even lowered his head and began to sniff the breath around him, as Claudil, who was closest to the Lizardman Lancer, was already covered in sweat.

"If he continues to roar like this, he will surely alarm the guys sleeping in the thatched hut behind him." Crodil was nervously thinking about how to avoid this dangerous moment, when suddenly his eyes caught a fat mountain mouse trying to sneak past his feet, and he reached out with great speed, grabbed the mountain mouse's long tail, and threw it back, "Squeak-squeak!" ”

"Ah, Samra said, it was a mountain mouse. I'm a little hungry right now. The lizardman spearman snorted suddenly, and he spread his hind limbs and webbed his toes and chased after Clodir, hunger making the lizardman seem to be able to discern special sound sources.

A slightly fishy gust of wind swept towards Clodir, who in a flash of agility, stretched out his left arm and grabbed the lizardman's slender scaly neck from its back, then dragged him to the ground, the lizardman who choked his throat seemed to want to shout for friends, but the immense force that locked his throat only made him make a toad-like cooing.

Crodir didn't give the lizardman spearman much time to struggle, he reached for the scimitar at his waist and slashed it at the lizardman's throat as it landed on the ground, and silence returned to it.

"Surround here, this is the last goblin and lizardman surveillance stronghold!" Claudir gave a decisive order to the relieved Wood Elf Forbidden Army.

Crodir's decisive killing of the lizardman pikeman amazed Alec and Tatek behind him, "The wood elves ahead have spread out and surrounded this last surveillance stronghold, and now all of them are with me." Be sure not to leave any of them. When diving in, try to be as quiet as possible! ”

This last surveillance base is a clearing that has only recently been cleared. Dozens of rudimentary thatched huts surrounded a stone-made bonfire, which had been extinguished after a night of burning, but still sparkled with pale blue smoke, and many wooden barrels full of water rested around the thatched huts, making it clear that this was indeed the place where the invading goblins and lizardmen replenished their water, as Alec had suspected.

Alec, Orach, and Ota nodded to each other, and each led nine Tateks quietly into the humble surveillance base, they gently pushed open the thatched wooden doors, and the sleeping goblins and lizardmen obviously did not notice that they had crept in, and the centaurs stood next to each sleeping goblin or lizardman, and without hesitation, they raised their single swords, and after exchanging glances with each other, they swung a single sword at their necks at the same time, easily ending the lives of these guys.

The sky was already a little shiny, but this was the last thatched hut. The drunken Ota was a step quicker than the wounded Orach, and he quickly scurried into the thatched hut with his nine centaurs, Matatek.

The smell in the thatched hut was heavier than in the stable, the goblins and the lizardmen lying on the ground were stacked on top of each other, snoring and snoring leisurely, judging from their sleeping position, their relationship seemed to be quite good, the lizardman was holding the goblin's thigh, the goblin was holding the arm of the other lizardman, they used their shields as pillows, their weapons were still on the ground on one side, they didn't even bother to take off the torn leather armor that was already full of fleas. The ground beneath their feet was littered with broken bones, the cracked skulls of goats, the entire skeleton of mouses, and of course the thigh bones of centaurs killed in battle, and some wooden and clay jars and jars were dumped indiscriminately on the ground, and this was more of a rat's nest than a shack.

"Let's go!" Ota snorted at his team, who, like the Grim Reaper in the night, raised their swords and stabbed at the goblins and lizardmen lying on the ground.

Otta glanced contemptuously at the squirming goblin under him, and suddenly stabbed the single sword, but the goblin under him suddenly opened his eyes without warning, and the black hole eyes seemed to shoot out the light of hatred in that moment, but the single sword pierced directly into its chest, but it let out a terrible scream before it died.

"Not good!" Otta's heart thumped.

"Boom. Boom. Boom. The sound of three buckets tipping over came from not far away.

"There is a situation! We're exposed, and we can't let those guys get away! Alec and Aurach and Aurach chased after the water source with their families, knowing that the sound must have come from the passage between the water source and the surveillance stronghold, "If they run back to Goodbay to report the news, it's all over!" ”

Alec and Aurach rolled their hooves, chasing the source of the sound like a gale.

"Right there. Overturned buckets, lizardmen in the bushes. Alec pointed to the beech forest next to the water source.

"Don't want to run away!" Orach was so fast that he caught up with the last two lizardmen, he drew his iron sword and swung it twice, and the two lizardmen who escaped were slashed to the ground after the sword light.

"That's going to cross the river! We can't catch up! Yes! Alex! We're going to fail! This guy is going to go and tell the news! Alec looked at the fledgling lizardman who was crossing the river, and paced in a hurry.

"Whoosh!" The sound of arrows coming out of the bowstrings came from the beech treetops, and the swift arrow struck the lizardman in the head, and the dead lizardman turned into a floating corpse on the southern tributary of the Lindisfar River, and after a few moments of drifting, he was dragged to the bottom of the river by the tumbling water, never to be seen again.
