Chapter 69: Reckless Plan (Part II)
With that, he walked out of the room, motioning for Thea and Moredi to follow him, leaving Barende's body lying on the floor of the room, and then quickly returned to the hall at the end of the hall to rejoin the rest of the team along the corridor at his feet.
Previously, when they found that Moretti had suddenly disappeared, the people of the Thorn Squad were temporarily divided into three groups under the arrangement of Urs to find the underground gnome who claimed to be the son of the mayor and the gray dwarf officer Barend, who annoyed everyone, and the young man himself and Thea went up to the second floor, Stonefist, Crow, and Koto entered the corridor on the left side of the hall, and Abel, Dorothy, and Bellinglis entered another corridor behind the door on the right side of the hall.
The search for the two is now settled with Moretti and Barende's death as a result of the incident.
Barende's death was a harsh blow to Urs, but if he hadn't been so impulsive and slashed the other man's head with a sword, perhaps the grey dwarf officer would have been able to use some of his captives in the hands of the Ravens?
After all, Miss Drow Poet in the team expressed a little regret when she learned of Barende's death, saying that if the gray dwarf officer who dared to arrange a banquet to humiliate her was not dead, then she would have hundreds of different torture methods in his hands to extract anything from his mouth.
For example, who is the dark elf hiding behind his background and secretly supporting him, and what is the purpose of the other party hiding in the dark to support him...... Wait a minute.
Of course, the Crow herself now has a new secret in the eyes of the team, claiming that she came from Morbaras along with the dark elves who supported Barend behind the scenes, and even the blind prophet Zeken used the term "The Outlier Raven of Morbyras" in the secret cave beneath the Tavern of Doriel's Tavern.
However, the current situation is clearly not the time for mutual suspicion and suspicion.
After Sia and Moredi were found and brought back from the room on the second floor of the town hall, the other two groups of the team had been waiting for a few minutes in the hall on the first floor where a banquet had been held not long ago.
Urs walked down the stairs, his brown eyes looking at his companions, and his eyes saw that the high wall of flames at the main entrance of the hall seemed to have been extinguished by Abel's magic, so that the raging fire would get out of control and ignite the entire first floor of the building, trapping the team in the fire.
Therefore, the Mechanic Mage's approach is undoubtedly correct.
The group that reunited shortly after the separation then told each other what they had seen, and the rest of the team learned that Urs and Thea had found Moredi on the second floor of the town hall and killed Barende, and that Urs and Thea had learned that the two corridors on the left and right sides of the hall also led to the two back doors behind the building, and that the few gray dwarf soldiers who had escaped from the previous scuffle had probably slipped out of the town hall and into the street outside.
"Those evil guys, bastards who give the dwarven race a black face!" Koto held the hammer in his right hand, and his deputy held the fortress shield at his feet, and his grinning fierce expression didn't seem to have finished venting his anger, "The warriors of the clan really regret not being able to use their hammers to knock over a few more of them in the previous battle!" β
"But the gray dwarf officer named Barende is dead." Stonefist reached out and tapped the dwarven warrior's shoulder, reminding him to keep his emotions in check, while making his point, "His death may have left us with some potential clues, but it is also an effective blow to the remaining gray dwarven soldiers in the city. β
"I ...... Agree with Mr. Stonefist. Dorothy held her wooden staff in her left hand, her burned right hand wrapped in the bandage that Thea had bandaged her, and her sea-blue eyes carefully examined everyone's faces, "After all, a qualified leader is a very important existence for a group......
Just like Dambert did for the Red Scorpion Adventure Group in the past - she hesitated in the second half of the sentence, but in the end she still held it in her heart and didn't express it.
The red-haired Miss Warlock is gradually emerging from the shadows of the past in a new collective, but this does not mean that she has let go of her past memories, in fact, she still has very mixed feelings for her father, who raised her anyway.
Dorothy's words made sense to everyone. Berelith hugged the magic guide in her arms, her two golden ponytails filled with righteous indignation like the light brown eyes in her eyes, "In that case, why don't we take this opportunity to wipe out all the gray dwarves left in the city?" They are bad people, and they have done such excessive bad things, the god of justice that Sister Thea's sister believes in must hate them to death! β
"That's right! Justice will not allow these damned thugs to continue to do evil, and neither will Oladin and Mother Hearth! Koto resonated with this, and immediately echoed loudly and turned his head to look at the dwarf girl, "Good little girl, good companion by the warrior's side!" When we're back to the surface from this underground trip, I'm going to buy that fruit called Peach and make the best honey-pickled peach for you! β
"Thank you for your promise, Your Highness the Prince! You're the sweetest dwarven prince I've ever seen, the most upright warrior, and the best cook! Bellinglith's ears were pointed, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the dwarf in surprise, but stopped the saliva at the corner of her mouth in time and put on a serious expression again, "But now is not the time to discuss food, we should first win back the freedom and justice that rightfully belong to the underground gnomes of this city!" β
"That's a good point, little girl!" His Royal Highness, the prince of the Hearthfire Clan, had his eyes lit up, and he almost raised the war hammer in his hand to cheer for him, "As the old priest of the clan has told me before, if the most beautiful wine is tasted after the battle is won, the taste of the wine will become even more delicious!" Ha ha! β
The corners of the jay's mouth outlined a witty smile, looking at the two shortest living treasures in the group, the dark purple eyes seemed to be thoughtful, and after a few seconds, he shifted his gaze to Urs's face and asked his own question: "So your Excellency, fearless leader, what do you think?" β
Are you going to just hit the enemy's "face" like this?
The meaning of her words was not much different from the content of Moretti's questioning of Urs in his room on the second floor of the town hall.
Urs looked at the wolf-eared girl and the underground gnome beside him, as well as his teammates around him, and then looked at her again, and was about to tell everyone about his battle plan that seemed reckless on the surface, but actually had his personal self-confidence in itβ
"Wait a minute, everybody." Belling Liss seemed to suddenly feel something, and hurriedly raised a small hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and the look in her eyes quickly focused on the hearing in her ears, "Listen carefully, the movement outside the door...... There seems to be a distant voice...... The plural footsteps seem to be approaching us! β
