Chapter 12: The Ugly Monkey
A drizzle fell in the sky.
As the terrain in front of him gradually opened up, Sauron's expression gradually became solemn. This place is already close to the range of Fallen Leaf City, and it will be able to reach the vicinity of Fallen Leaf City by this afternoon at the latest. Deciduous Castle was not built on a river like Amber City, and it was nearly twenty or thirty miles away from the Onyx River landing on the Akiba Plain to Amber City. The orc armies did not retreat into the Northwest Wilderness, they had taken over large swaths of land and were now stationed near a large town north of Fallen Leaf City.
"Disperse the scouts!"
Sauron stared at the high ground ahead, silently calculating the distance in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Let them pull out the outpost of the orcs, and you will personally go over and lead the team with the one-eyed dragon." β
As Sauron's order was given, the one-eyed dragon with a hideous expression stood up and sneered, "Yes! β
"Your Excellency, rest assured! Guaranteed to leave no one alive! β
Soon.
There were figures on the battleship jumping into the Onyx River, these people drifting on the sea are very good at water, and in the blink of an eye they have come ashore one after another, led by the one-eyed dragon, he gave a signal to the battleship, and soon led hundreds of people to disappear. These pirate leaders have long been ready for battle, and they are all veterans brought out today, and many of them are elites with a career level of 10 or above. From the battle of the Marsh King, to the defeat of the pirate king Asrod, to the Battle of Arendelle, which finally crushed the navy of the southern island nation, Sauron's pirate army has grown into a group of elites.
Only a real life-and-death battle can quickly train out a group of elites!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The weather is getting hot in April and May.
The ugly monkey crouched in the grass and crawled forward, careful not to make any sound, and there were several other people on his side, all of whom were the elite of their squad.
The ugly monkey is a thief.
The reason why he has this 'nickname' is because he has an ugly birthmark on the left side of his face, a dark cyan hideous birthmark, which completely ruined his original appearance.
He was born in Shipwreck Bay to a mother who was a **.
It is said that when he was born. His mother was still sick, and anyway, he was born very ugly and slightly deformed. It stands to reason that it would have been difficult for him to survive such a birth, but the ugly monkey was lucky, and he met an old thief who had retired when he was very young. The old man took pity on him and took him as his own disciple, teaching him some thief skills from the age of three.
The ugly monkey has a deformed skeleton and arms of varying lengths. The back is born a little bit trusty, but God also takes care of him, that is, his hands are very sensitive, and his mental reflex ability far exceeds that of other peers. That's why he got the nickname 'Ugly Monkey', and others say that he moves as nimble as a monkey. When he was just fourteen or fifteen years old, the ugly monkey showed a klepping skill that far surpassed that of other peers, and gained far more than others.
But it didn't last long.
Later, His Excellency 'Throat Cutter' appeared, and all the forces in the gray area of the shipwreck overseas were absorbed, and the ugly monkey unsurprisingly joined the command of this Excellency.
He used to steal. But not very good at fighting.
After His Excellency the Throat Slither took control of the shipwreck bay, a group of thieves like them were gathered, and it was then that he really began to learn combat, including some assassination techniques of the Assassins.
Any city near the coast has many low-class trades. There are many people like Ugly Monkey, but he is the most talented one of them!
The instructor in charge of training him told him, given that he was not yet twenty years old, if he was diligent enough. It is possible to enter the realm of legends in this lifetime.
Legend!
This is an area that is desired but out of reach for any professional.
The instructor said that the most clever loitering and the most clever assassin in the entire coast was His Excellency the Throat Slither, if he could make a great contribution in the future. It is possible for him to get the guidance of His Excellency the Throat Cutter.
So, this time the operation Ugly Monkey did not hesitate to participate and chose the most dangerous outpost scout!
Stealth, tracking, assassination.
The Ugly Monkey has undergone rigorous anti-reconnaissance training, and there is a Ranger in his team, who found traces of the Orcs shortly after the operation.
The traces of these guys are obvious!
Because they are tall, many weigh more than 200 pounds, footprints on the ground can help them find their place.
A rhythmic croaking of frogs sounds.
The ugly monkey pulled out the short sword at his waist, his eyes became sharp, his strength is not high, this is a natural defect, so he likes to quench weapons in battle, which can help him deal with the enemy more easily. He considered himself more appropriate to be an Assassin than a thief, and it was said that His Excellency the Throatcutter's army consisted of an elite group of high-ranking wanderers, and he hoped to join them one day.
Thump!
A slight sound of falling to the ground sounded, as if it was a signal, and in an instant, a dozen figures rushed out of the darkness.
An icy cold light streaked through.
The figure of the ugly monkey really rushed out like an agile monkey, easily crossing a distance of more than ten meters, and at the same time, his hands and feet crossed the obstacle in front of him with flying speed, and the short sword stabbed into the heart of the enemy in an instant.
The howling wind sounds!
The enemies are very powerful, wielding their weapons with a strong gust of wind, but they are not agile enough, and they are still too slow for the ugly monkey.
Sonorous!
The ugly monkey swung a cold light from his backhand, and the sharp dagger stabbed into the back of the enemy.
Dual-weapon combat.
A thief by training, Ugly Monkey was able to quickly pinch slippery soap horns out of a pan of oil with his fingers at the age of seven, and in order to improve his skills, he even learned how to conjure tricks with a magician at the age of twelve. It's not the kind of level 0 trick, but a magic trick that purely relies on the speed of his fingers to deceive his eyes, and the training during this period of time has made his left and right hands quite flexible, and from that time on, he began to practice the ability to steal with both hands at the same time.
Roar!
The half-orc's low roar of pain came, and the ugly monkey glanced at the other party's appearance, and couldn't help but pout: "It's so ugly!" β
According to Cheng DΓΉ, who was familiar with the human body, the ugly monkey judged that his attack had injured the opponent's kidneys just now, so he was not in a hurry to kill the enemy, but was very sensitive to delay time, and sure enough, the speed of the orc in front of him gradually slowed down, and its strength had begun to decline. Finding an opportunity, the ugly monkey directly turned around and kicked the enemy's lower body, and with some kind of cracking sound, he swung his short sword with his backhand and slit the enemy's throat.
The battle ended quickly.
The ugly monkey glanced at his companion who appeared, cut off the orc's right ear with a dagger, and quickly escaped into the darkness.
There was a chuckle of companions in my ears.
It was nothing more than that these orc scouts were nothing more than that, and the ugly monkey pursed the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and did not mean to answer. These are only small groups of enemies, and it is almost impossible for them to win against these thieves who have grown up in the Lower Nine Pop since childhood, but if they encounter a large group of enemies, I am afraid that the battle will not be so easy.
The strength advantage of the half-orcs is still obvious!
These half-breed creatures are much more powerful than the perennial coolies of the docks, and if they have an advantage in numbers, I am afraid that the battle will not be so easy.
Thinking of this, the ugly monkey took out a small mechanism.
It was a delicate Hidden Arrow.
The ugly monkey fixed it at the position of his wrist, and then loaded it with three poisoned arrows, his natural strength is not comparable to that of others, and naturally requires more skill.
The rest of his companions saw his movements.
As the only one in this team who was close to a high-level professional, when the ugly monkey was equipped with a sleeve arrow, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then someone began to take out hand crossbows, sleeve arrows, and poison darts to equip them in hidden positions. After all, this is a matter of life, a little more caution will have a better chance of saving a small life, they are not frontal and tough warriors, they have too many low-rate combat skills in the gray area all year round.
The sun is gradually setting in the west.
The scouts that Sauron scattered were like a net that shrouded the battlefield near Fallen Leaf City.
