Chapter 54: Breakout

The fog did not dissipate as quickly as everyone expected, but it seems to have become thicker and thicker in the past few days...... As is customary in previous years, in the Land of Ghosts, such fog may last for half a month to a month.

Lord Hawksbill soon realized the impending effects of the fog. He sent more Ranger scouts to spread around Quellinth, keeping an eye on the trolls.

and Taquelin, who are now largely out of touch...... With such a big fog, it is difficult for Longying to take off, let alone other contact information! And the access to land was completely cut off by trolls a few months ago.

"Everyone, be vigilant!" This is Lord Hawksbill's command to every traveler.

Several Ranger scouts returned, bringing with them the movements of the trolls, who, according to their descriptions, appeared to be approaching in the direction of Quellinth, from all directions, in a very organized manner...... The rest of the Ranger Scouts have been completely lost, and they may have died in an ambush by the trolls, never to return.

Many people are speculating that maybe the main forces of the trolls have begun to surround Quellins, and they are waiting for the final attack!

……

The Ranger who had come to Quellinth with Liadrin, and whose surname was "Theron", also volunteered to join the Scouts, and when he returned, he seemed to have received more information than the other Rangers.

Carlin only then learns that the Ranger's name is "Lotherma Theron", and that Liadline had mispronounced his name before.

The name seemed familiar, but Carlin never remembered where he had seen it.

When Lotherma returned, she was in a very miserable state, with blood almost all over her body, and her whole mind was not very clear...... After the rescue of Lady Aurora and Liadrin, he recovered a little!

His right eye was slashed with a javelin by a troll, and if it hadn't been deflected a little, he would have almost lost his sight forever...... The blood stains on the body, a small part of the blood came from the wound; Everything else is the blood of trolls.

"I killed at least six trolls to break out of their surrounding!" Lotherma said weakly.

It seems that he should not be exaggerating.

"Quellins is surrounded by trolls all around, and they seem to be surrounding us in an organized way...... Once the encirclement is completely complete, they will attack...... There are so many trolls, at least ten times as many as we are, maybe twenty times as many...... Also, I heard the trolls cheering for a name: Zurkin! ”

After informing her of this valuable information, Lotherma fainted.

"Zurkin, is this bastard back!" Lord Hawksbill's face was a little gloomy.

Many of Queldore had heard about this fearsome troll leader. Over the years, he had single-handedly launched many terrorist attacks on the best-guarded elven villages, and many elven civilians had died at his hands. No matter what, he always broke down the elves' defenses, inflicted damage, sacrificed, and escaped unscathed; His cruelty is as notorious as his cunning.

"No wonder these trolls have suddenly become so well-trained, it turns out that their commander is Zurkin!" Ms. Aurora's face was also not good-looking.

"So what are we going to do?" A ranger who traveled far away asked a question that everyone was concerned about.

"Quellins is safe for now!" Lord Hawksbier said, "Even if the leader of the trolls is Zurkin, even if they have ten or twenty times the number of troops, Quirlins will not be defeated in a short time!" Even if we run out of ammunition, we can hold out for at least a week. ”

Lord Hawksbill's self-confidence is well-founded! Quellins' natural dangers, coupled with the fact that they are garrisoned by the most elite Quel'Salas Travelers; It is the source of his self-confidence.

But at least for a week, that means at most for a week...... Quellins has become a lonely stronghold, and without support, they will be completely ineffective after a week of siege anyway.

"Once the fog clears, General Sylvanas will sense the anomaly here, right?" It was Haduron who spoke: "By that time, our encirclement will also be solved!" ”

No one answered him, because no one knew how long the fog would last.

If the fog clears within a week, then Haduron is right.

But if it lasts longer than a week, then even if Quellins is completely overrun by the trolls, Taquelin's side will be kept in the dark.

"We have to think of something else!" Lord Hawksbill said, "Maybe we should send a few messenger squads to break through the trolls' encirclement and go to Taquilin to inform you of the situation here!" ”

It's going to be difficult, and breaking through the trolls is dangerous...... But if you don't, staying in Quellins is also very dangerous.

Carlin suddenly felt a few glances, as if they were fixed on him.

Compared to the Ranger, the Mage is the more suitable messenger...... Mages have more means to protect themselves, and even the best rangers can't match them.

"Aurora and I will form a breakout team!" Lord Hawksbier was the first to speak, "No one knows the terrain around Quellins better than we do, and we're sure we'll find a loophole in the troll encirclement!" ”

"I'll also participate in the breakout!" Another ranger who traveled far away, stood up and said to himself.

Several detachments that broke through were immediately formed, and the number was very small, about three or five people, because the more people there were, the goal would be greater, and it would be more difficult to break through.

Carlin thought for a moment and stood up as well: "I'll participate in one too!" ”

One thing is certain, if you stay in Quellins and wait for the trolls to form a complete encirclement, then there is only one way to die...... With Zulkin's cunning, even if Sylvanas found out about the trolls in Taquilin, it would be easy to hold them back until Quellins was completely defeated!

And taking advantage of the fact that the encirclement has not completely completed the breakthrough is a better choice.

"Carlin, I'm with you!" It's Hadurun, this guy can't see it, but he's still quite righteous.

"Carlin......" A small soft hand pressed Carlin's shoulder.

"Don't make a fuss......," Carlin shook his head at Liadrin.

"No, you don't want to leave me alone!" Liadline also grimaced.
