When Solam came to the front of the dark fortress that the black orcs had said before, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, only to see that in front of a mountain fortress, thousands of tents were densely built, and all kinds of monsters were shuttling around in it. Even considering that these are monsters and not intelligent creatures, it is not too much of an exaggeration to say that they are orderly

The camp in front of me is like a monster exhibition, with goblins, orcs, kobolds, gnolls, trolls, ogres, and even evil beasts, cyclops, hill giants, etc., relatively rare monsters.

Seeing this scene, the people present even breathed a lot lighter, so many monsters, not to mention how the combat power is, even the number of piles can kill them, not to mention that there are many monsters with very high combat effectiveness.

For example, the beast ghost, this monster has a tiger head, wears gorgeous clothes, and has the back and palm of the hand completely opposite to a normal person. On top of that, it also possesses a special ability to perceive the minds of others. With one alone, it has a great advantage in battle. Not to mention that they are also immune to all spells below level nine.

I have to say that "Old Scar" Klaus's methods are really good, he can actually collect so many evil creatures roaming the mountains, and can control them so well. Now it seems that this guy can't really take a piece of land from Amm and build his own empire.

Soram secretly observed the enemy for a while, and found that it was almost impossible to kill him from the front, so Soram decided to sneak in first and see the situation, if he could, Soram really didn't mind slaying the dragon, if he didn't have a chance, Soram wouldn't really put himself in for the sake of the so-called face.

The territory is lost, a wasteland occupied by monsters, and Solam doesn't think much of it.

With this in mind, Solam told the others to find a hidden place to stand by, and then asked Trism and the Shadow Assassins to accompany him to the mountain fortress. There are a lot of magic items in Solam's hands, and when it comes to stealth effects, it's really no worse than a wanderer of the same level. As for Trism and the Shadow Assassins, they are even more stealthy experts, and it is not difficult for them to infiltrate the fortress in front of them.

After all, judging by what they saw, the mountain fortress was not heavily guarded, and there were not even guards on the fortress.

****************

After Solam and the others went into invisibility, they carefully bypassed the monsters' camp, and then climbed the mountain road for almost half an hour before they really approached the fortress that seemed to be embedded in the mountain.

When Solam and the others got closer, they realized that the layout of the Dark Fort was very strange, most of the fortress was deep into the mountain, only a small part of the front was exposed, and the exposed parts were also full of rubble, as if there had just been an earthquake here.

At the entrance of the fortress, there are two huge stone pillars, each with a dragon head carved at the top of the stone pillar. By the time Soram approached, there was a large group of orcs blocking the doorway, as if they were patrolling. Of course, they are more at the door, chatting and farting casually, and they don't work seriously at all.

"What about these orcs? Kill them all, or sneak in? ”

Soram had just gained a foothold, and before he could think of what to do next, a voice suddenly sounded in Solam's ears, almost scaring Soram to death. If it weren't for the quick reaction, it was Trismu's voice, and Soram almost smashed it with a hammer.

Steady down, Solam also whispered: "No, killing these guys will not alarm other monsters." Just leave it to me. ”

Although Soram couldn't figure out where Trasim and the others were, Soram knew that they would all hear his words. Compared to these sneaking veterans, the stealth effect caused by Solam's spells is actually not very strong, at least Soram has no way to eliminate the traces of his actions, and stealth will not leave any obvious traces. Trismu: They only need to look closely to find out where Soram is.

Sure enough, after Soram's words were spoken, there was calm around him, and neither Tresim nor the Shadow Assassin made any moves. As for the orcs, heh, they're watching the brawl right now, it's so noisy that Soram won't notice anything unusual even if he yells.

Yes, at the moment when Soram arrived, two of the orcs in the group fought for some reason, and the other orcs around not only did not go up to stop them, but surrounded them in the middle and began to coax the seedlings, all of them were very happy.

Orcs, fighting or something, that's definitely the most popular pastime of the day. This is no exception even in Avalon, when Shoram is in his hometown, he likes to fight with others when he has nothing to do, which not only strengthens the relationship between each other, but most importantly, kills time.

It was also taking advantage of such a good opportunity given by these fools, Solam directly took out a scroll of group suggestion, tore the scroll in such a big way, and cast a spell on the group of orcs. (The cast also touches the invisible)

The orcs noticed a man standing behind them the whole time......

When Soram tore open the scroll, a puff of black smoke drifted out of the torn scroll and quickly entered the mouths and noses of the orcs. By the time the orcs finally found out that something was wrong, it was too late.

As soon as the black smoke entered the orcs' bodies, the orcs stood stunned.

"Look at me!" Soram let out a low cry, and all the orcs turned to Solam, and then raised their heads to look at Solam, Solam's eyes glowed with a terrifying silver light, and as soon as the eyes of those orcs came into contact with this strange silver light, they immediately trembled, and expressions of struggle, pain, and anger continued to appear on their faces.

When everything calmed down, the orcs' eyes began to turn blank, and they looked at Soram in front of them like fools.

"You stay here and don't allow anyone to enter or leave the fortress! Otherwise, you won't be killed! ”

"Yes! Master! When all the orcs heard Soram's command, they fell to their knees and said loudly.

"Good!"

With that, Soram went into invisibility again.

*********************

"Boss, that spell of yours really works, so why don't you use spells to control those monsters? With the help of so many monsters, a middle-aged red dragon is not a threat at all? ”

After entering the Dark Fortress, Soram and the others found that the huge fortress was empty. At least after Solam and they entered, so far, no one has touched it.

The journey went smoothly and felt unreal, but Soram did not find any signs of an enemy. Solam decided to send three shadow assassins to explore the path first, while the others waited where they were.

Because the situation in front of him is really a little uneasy, Soram doesn't want to fall into some trap in a confused situation. While waiting to disappear, Trism finally couldn't help but ask about Solam's previous spells.

"Control it all? You're talking about lightweight, even legendary mages don't have the ability to do this! ”

Suggestion is indeed a very useful spell, and with the effect of the spell, a mage can hypnotize a large group of enemies for his own use. But there is also a premise, and the premise is the mental power of the caster. The amount of time and amount that a mage controls with suggestion is completely linked to the mage's mental power.

Thousands of monsters, that requires spiritual strength that has surpassed even all the gods! It is impossible for this kind of existence in the mortal world, so the idea of using suggestion to control all monsters is completely overthinking.

"Can't you?" Trism seems to be a little lively today, and he talks a lot. "Then you say, how did that red dragon control so many monsters?"

"And how do I know?" Soram didn't care about Trasim's words at first, but after saying that, Soram also reacted, yes, how were those monsters controlled so well by the red dragon "Old Scar" Klaus?

Those monsters are not intelligent creatures, they are born to succumb to their own instincts, although they may be obedient for a while because of the fear of the power and brutality of the red dragon, but they are monsters in the end, don't expect how good their brains are, as long as it takes a long time, the primitive nature of the monsters will be exposed, and they will start to mess around, either killing each other or running away. (Freedom is the nature of all life)

But the group of monsters in the Dark Castle is different, they can honestly camp under the Dark Castle, and even maintain the basic order of the foundation, which is not something that a red dragon can do at all.

Even the legendary red dragon, Balagath 'Flying Flame', doesn't have this ability! Monsters, if they can really be effectively ruled at will, then they won't be called monsters.

Then the current situation of those monsters made Soram think deeply.

"Oh! You don't know either? Trism muttered in frustration and stopped talking.

Trismu's muttering really reminded Soram to think about spells. It's true that it's hard to control so many monsters with simple spells, but what if it's a magic item? Even artifacts?

At least Soram knew that there were two artifacts that could control so many monsters, but those two artifacts had long disappeared in the long river of time, at least after the dark and boiling era, there was no news about those two evil artifacts.

"Why haven't they come yet?" Just as Soram was thinking, Trisim beside him muttered again, as if he was very impatient.

This made Soram wary, this is not the usual Trismu! Trismu's setting has always been a cold-faced person, and in normal times, he doesn't show his emotions much, and he resolutely doesn't speak when he can, and his patience is also first-class. can be willing to be his shadow behind Solam, but you can't do it without patience.

But what about Trism now? Not only did he talk a lot, but he also showed that in addition to frustration and impatience, this is not the Trasm in Solam's impression!

Thinking of this, Solam immediately turned his head and looked at Trism seriously! His eyes were defensive and probing.
