Chapter 78: Cleaning Up the Dark Sentinels! (4th Update)
Under the dark night sky.
A warship with black sails entered the river inside the island from the mouth of the sea, and Sauron's patience was quite good, waiting until dark to quietly approach the territory of the indigenous tribes. This time, he didn't bring out many people, even with the Drow elven warriors, there were only one hundred and twenty-one people in total, and most of the pirate minions stayed in the camp. Because if you want to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, you must have few people, and you must have strong combat effectiveness, and only elite troops can catch the opponent off guard.
The night is getting darker.
Sauron and his men disembarked from the tribe of the natives ten kilometers away, a distance that was too close to alarm the enemy, and too far to trek in the night. This time, most of the men Sauron brought out were strangely shaped, either with many scars on their faces and necks, or their ears were full of holes, or if they were not covered in strange tattoos. More than seven of these guys are more than seven layers of more hideous-looking and fierce-eyed pirates, and there is no doubt that they are also the elite of pirates who have survived battles again and again.
Pirates are the best profession for survival of the fittest!
Basically, after three battles, the strength of the guys who can survive will not be too weak, and in this case, the pirates will improve their strength quickly, after all, they are originally professionals. All the pirates brought out by Sauron this time are above the second order, and there are also small bosses of about two or three orders, and these pirates are far superior to ordinary pirates in terms of combat experience and equipment skills. The pirates' equipment was basically private, and Sauron didn't have to pay for their equipment, they would use the bounty to buy it themselves.
The worst of these pirates are finely forged military weapons, and some of the minor bosses also hold first-order extraordinary weapons.
Then down the ship were the Drow Elven Warriors.
They looked much better than when they first came, because Sauron had replenished their equipment, and he had prepared a large number of standard military weapons before he came, enough to arm nearly three hundred men. It also includes some leather armor and inlaid iron armor, and better armor is difficult to obtain, mainly because the higher the armor, the higher the price. The price of a full-body armor would make even Sauron feel heartache. Now all the Drow Elven warriors are all new leather armor, and nearly a third of their weapons have been replaced.
After all, with their +2 Elven War Bow, Sauron also wants to give back a little bit of benefit to the other party!
He's a very fair guy.
This time, the overall strength of the people brought is very strong, and the drow elves have quite strong night vision ability, and basically have no problem fighting at night. After all, there is not much light in the dark region, and most of these drow elves are albino elves and half-elves after human hybrids, and they still have infrared-like vision in the dark. Then there are the pirates who brought in, basically there is no possibility of zài night blindness, so they will not lose much combat power when raiding at night.
"Stop!"
Sauron looked at the others behind him, then gave Vivien a look. Said slowly: "I destroyed their scouts last time, I'm afraid the other party will also be prepared, I'll go see if there is a secret post first." ”
After saying that, he nodded to the others, and the whole person disappeared into the darkness.
Sauron's figure was completely obscured by the night, and when he entered the stealth state, he approached the indigenous tribe in front of him, while the people he brought with him remained nearly three kilometers away.
Remove the Dark Sentinel!
This is the most common job for wanderers, and Sauron is quite skilled at spotting the Sentinels.
There was a glimmer of light ahead, and Sauron approached cautiously along the edge of the road, he did not enter the tribe. Rather, it went around very cautiously. Soon he felt the slightest movement, coming from the grass in the southwest. The night guard was also a very sad thing, the natives could not stay still all night, Sauron quietly touched it from the side. Then I saw a skinny native, prostrate in it.
The indigenous people of the overseas archipelago are short in stature, a bit like the indigenous people of Indonesia, and are often jokingly referred to as indigenous monkeys by pirates.
Sauron lurked expressionlessly.
After closing the distance to about fifteen meters, he suddenly began to accelerate. But without the slightest sound, a faint cold light appeared, and Sauron pounced directly. Reached out and covered the other party's mouth and nose, and at the same time, a knife pierced through the back of the heart, directly from the chest. Streams of blood poured out, and the natives of Lord Solunka twitched before turning into a corpse.
A row of icy numbers emerges:
"The battle is over!"
"You backstab your target! …… Deal 86 puncture damage! …… You've hit the other person's heart! …… Trigger Fatal Damage Hit! …… Target Tenacity Waiver Failed! …… Target is dead! ……”
"You've gained 1,750 Kill XP! ……”
………………
Although Sauron did not have the strength to scan the natives, based on the killing experience gained, he could still roughly judge the opponent's professional level, which should be around the third order. Due to the lack of knowledge of civilization and the lack of much sorcerer blood, there are very few spellcasters among the natives, and the vast majority of spellcasters are concentrated in shamans. However, there are some people here who can master spiritual energy, and they generally do not appear in such small tribes, and should be the kind of large tribes with a scale of tens of thousands of people.
The proportion of this psionic energy is estimated to be much smaller than the proportion of warlocks appearing!
Thump.
With a slight thud, Sauron lowered the corpse in his hand, and then covered the grass slightly.
Then he entered the stealth state again, moving along the tribe of natives, since the secret sentry had been discovered, then there was definitely more than one, there must be other natives nearby. Solon in the stealth state is very careful, and after turning around and not finding anything, he began to expand the scope and continue to search, because if there is a dark post that does not pull out and finds them in advance, the effect of the night raid will be greatly reduced, and it is possible to lose a lot here.
His patience is good.
After three consecutive turns, Sauron finally discovered the second sentry, which was actually hiding in a large tree near the south, which would have been difficult to spot if it weren't for his keen hearing. It took Sauron an hour to pull out three outposts outside the native tribe, and when he was sure there were almost no sentry nearby, he headed back to where he had started.
It's close to one o'clock in the morning.
He had only entered the island river from the sea after it had been completely dark, and it was about one o'clock in the morning when he had walked all the way and cleaned up the dark posts.
This is the perfect time to raid!
