Chapter 171: Infiltration
Veronica was the first to infiltrate the Iron Lin Camp, avoiding the direct sunlight and hiding her tracks with the help of the shadows of the trees, and quietly penetrated into the camp. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the lizardmen's houses are simple shacks that look very dirty, but there is a three-story stone building on the central high ground of the camp, which is even more magnificent compared to the low shacks around it. Veronica could have guessed without having to go in and look at it - it was the palace of King Gusinski and Queen Kina.
"The Gusinskis built the palace out of stone, and it will take a little more brains to infiltrate, hoping that Tonya will have a surplus of 'stone shaping'......" Veronica looked at the palace from afar, silently thinking about how to sneak in.
At this time, lights floated behind the palace, and the sound of footsteps and conversation came from far and near.
Veronica immediately became alert, flicked her arthropod cloak, sucked the trunk of the tree with her hands and feet like a large spider, and quickly climbed up.
A group of lizardmen were walking this way, all dressed in leather armor and long knives, looking like a patrol team.
The lizardman at the front carried a bull's-eye lantern, which swayed from side to side with his steps, illuminating the sixty-foot road ahead.
The lantern bearer yawned loudly, turned back to his companion and complained, "Captain, is it necessary to toss people so much?" Got us up in the middle of the night......"
The lizardman captain glared at him and said angrily, "You know a fart!" Recently, the rumors have not been right, and we must be vigilant. ”
"Captain, what's wrong with the rumors?"
"I can't tell, anyway, King Gusinsky has been in a very irritable mood in the past two days, probably because of the tragedy that happened on Crescent Island last time......"
"You mean the murder of Mentor Negro and his assistant on Crescent Island? I've heard that they went hunting the seven-headed snake lizard and unfortunately missed, which is a tragedy. ”
"Hehe, that's not the case, King Gusinsky ordered that the truth be strictly forbidden, if it weren't for my brother-in-law being a palace guard, I wouldn't know the truth." The captain sneered.
The lantern bearer's eyes widened, and his face was full of eagerness: "Captain, tell me the truth?" ”
"Ahem, I'll just say it casually, don't spread it later, I heard that Mentor Negro was killed by foreign adventurers, and that group of adventurers are currently resting in Valley Village, as if they are very close to the female druid named Tonya, King Gusinsky is very angry, and is communicating with the old ghost woman in the depths of the swamp, hoping to use her old man's power to ransack Valley Village, destroy those stupid adventurers, and avenge Mentor Negro!"
"No wonder the atmosphere in the camp has been particularly tense recently, and the king has specially asked us to work an extra night patrol."
"That's what I'm saying, fortunately, there are bird demons outside the camp to take care of it, so let's just go through the motions......"
Veronica's face changed when she heard the lizardmen's conversation, and she hurriedly used the "teleportation" scroll to tell Roland and the others what she had seen and heard.
Soon, Roland's calm and resolute reply came from the female ninja's ears: "We are fighting an ambush near the stone wall, and you are responsible for assassinating the lampbearers, don't give them a chance to raise the alarm." ”
"Understood!" Veronica quietly jumped down from the tree, using ninjutsu to hide her body, and unknowingly followed behind the group of lizardman patrols, until Roland's secret signal sounded in her ears, and she suddenly activated the "Ring of Silence", and an invisible enchantment spread, enveloping the entire lizardman patrol.
"Huh?" The person holding the lamp was bragging about his gambling skills, and suddenly found that he couldn't make a sound, and the second monk was confused.
A snowy shinobi knife came out of thin air from behind him, stabbing into his back like lightning.
Burst! When the blood burst out, the sneak attack was successful, and the person in charge of the lamp was stabbed off by Veronica before he could figure out the situation, and the corpse fell forward, but the lantern in his hand did not fall, and was caught by a white slender hand.
The figure of the female ninja gradually emerged, holding a sword in her right hand and a lamp in her left, smiling at the stunned group of lizardmen.
In the next moment, a thick fog filled behind her, completely submerging the area where she and the lizardmen were, and it was dark in front of her, and she couldn't see her fingers.
Veronica extinguishes the lantern and takes out the Crystal Insight Mask and puts it on her face, and her vision obscured by the "cloud technique" is clear.
The figure of the Witch in Red appeared in front of the stone wall, a thick fog pouring out of her hands.
Lyudmila drew her bowstring and fired three arrows into the depths of the clouds in one breath - not at the lizardmen trapped by the clouds, but at the ground beneath their feet, in order to widen the silence zone and completely seal their throats so that they could not call for help from the outside world.
The saddest thing about the lizardmen is their poor eyesight. They have neither "dim vision" nor "dark vision", they have lost the light of bull's eye lanterns, and they are all blind under the double cover of darkness and clouds, and they can't see anything, but they still keep wielding their swords indiscriminately, but unfortunately this kind of self-deception cannot frighten their opponents, but only exposes their inner fear.
On the other hand, Roland's side is in a very different situation from the lizardmen. Lyudmila and Bloom gained the 30-foot "Blind Vision" specialty by hunting the stoneblind barbarians as early as their adventures in the Settlement Territory; Veronica's Crystal Insight Mask and Nikita's Dragon Queen's Forehead Ornament can also give the wearer a blind vision effect, giving the wearer an advantage in the light and the dark.
Not to mention Roland himself, whose voter ability "Pupil of Fate" allows his gaze to cut through clouds and fog and see the lizardmen's movements clearly.
The Lizardman Captain is the only one in the opposing faction who remains calm. He simply closed his eyes, stood in the thick fog with a knife, his expression solemn and motionless, and put on a posture of static braking.
Roland walked towards the lizardman captain, stopped ten feet away, and looked him up and down several times, a mocking smile curling into his lips.
"Level 8 fighters, it seems that most of them are proficient in 'blind fighting', and maybe they have also mastered the 'combat reflexes'."
Roland himself is also good at "blind fighting", and of course he knows that a warrior with this specialty can sense subtle changes in heat within five feet of his surroundings and determine the location of his enemies. So he decided not to give the other party a chance to resist, opened the storage space built into the magic glove "Bloody Smile", put away the heavy sword and replaced it with a riding gun, and stood 10 feet away and stabbed it directly.
+2 The Dreadnought pierced the fog like a silver dragon, the Silence barrier shielded the wind from the spear's thrust, and there was no heat for the Lizardman Captain to sense, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late to dodge - poof, and the spear dug deep into his heart.
The corpse of the lizardman captain collapsed.
Roland withdrew his spear, shook the tip of his spear with a flick of his wrist, and turned to the depths of the mist in search of another prey.
The 10-foot spear takes advantage of this dense fog-shrouded environment, and the face-to-face shot will cause the opponent to be caught off guard, and the additional sneak attack damage also frequently triggers heavy attacks.
