Chapter 57: The Undercurrent Surging (Part II)
Polly and Robert led the Big-Eared Monsters to the gate of the passage locked by the centaurs.
Polly, who had been prepared, skillfully took out a ****** from his pocket, and only moved lightly in the keyhole a few times, and the new lock that the centaur had just changed into was opened with a soft "click".
Robert was dumbfounded, admired, and gave Polly a thumbs up.
Polly smirked and gently pushed the iron gate open.
The big-eared monsters flew out quickly, and the centaurs on the ground were still asleep, completely unaware of this, and finally they didn't even snort, and they slashed their heads one by one, and fell to the ground softly.
Red blood erupted from their necks stained several large-eared monsters, and the human-like heads of the centaurs rolled on the ground, dragging long trails of blood.
These small movements did not alarm the other elven soldiers in the castle, as the dungeon was so remote that the big-eared monsters didn't make much noise.
Polly and Robert stood aside and watched the killing of the big-eared monsters, their faces slightly discolored, they were not good people before, and they had also killed people on their hands, but they had never been on the battlefield, let alone seen such a tragic killing method.
Polly began to wonder if he could command these big-eared monster soldiers who made a career out of killing, these guys were professionals who killed people on the battlefield without blinking, and he was just a thief, and he had no military experience, could these guys listen to him?
Polly's fears soon proved unfounded, and after all the centaurs were killed, a new leader elected by the Big-Eared Monsters, a powerful Strong-Eared Monster named Orison, came to Polly.
"Master Polly, what are we going to do next?" Orison asked Polly.
Orison was tall, and standing there made Polly even more skinny, but Orison was quite respectful to Polly.
The big-eared monsters all know that this little man is a red man next to the lord, and now they have decided to mess with that lord, of course, they have to talk to him.
What's more, the lord confessed that this operation must listen to Polly's words.
Seeing the other party's performance, Polly made up his mind: "According to the original plan, raid the castle hall, and then seize the gate!" ”
Meanwhile, outside Hammondale Castle.
The centaurs guarding the gate lit several large braziers outside the castle gate, illuminating the open space in front of the gate as bright as day.
More than thirty centaur soldiers chatted lazily in the firelight with their spears, and some even dozed off against the fire.
They didn't notice that dozens of figures were sneaking up on the clearing under the cover of night.
In order to make it easier to move around the snow, the beautiful magician changed into the tight-fitting suit and tight leather armor that once made the lord swoon, and if it weren't for the staff she was holding in her hand revealing her identity as a magician, others would have mistaken her for a warrior.
The Half-Elven Guard Captain was dressed in the standard Harmondale Lord Guard, and his griffon's bow was already mounted with a sharp feathered arrow.
Twenty veterans of the Guard, armed with spears, cautiously followed the two men, approaching the castle gate step by step.
The light snow in the sky and the darkness of the night covered their movements, allowing them to reach the darkness beyond the firelight, and even the centaur soldiers patrolling the castle walls did not notice them.
"Captain of the Guard, shall we kill it now?" A soldier asked softly.
The half-elf shook his head: "Don't worry, wait first, everyone obeys my orders, hide now!" ”
Twenty soldiers immediately lay down in the snow, and the half-elves also lay down, and the makeshift white cloak on their bodies melted them into the snow very well, and the sorceress hesitated for a moment and lay down as well.
In the castle hall.
Polly, Robert, and the raids of the big-eared monsters met with unexpected circumstances.
Originally, it was planned, there should not be a few enemies in the castle hall at this time, and Polly and they could easily break through, and successfully kill the castle gate before the enemy was alarmed, and join forces with the small troops outside to capture the gate in one fell swoop.
After occupying the gate, the sorceress can easily throw powerful magic into the castle under the cover of the soldiers, blow up the load-bearing stone pillars in the castle hall, and finally make the entire castle completely collapse and collapse, completely burying all the enemies who sleep in the castle for the night.
The lords who are hiding underground will also withdraw from Terrence Rockwin's vault through another passage after receiving their signal.
There are several important key elements in this bold plan, and if one part is wrong, the whole plan will fail.
One of the important keys is Polly's actions, if they can't quickly cooperate with the half-elves and the sorceress to take down the gate and hold the gate for a while, so that the elves have time to react, the most critical load-bearing pillar of the whole plan will not be able to blow up.
But the reality now is that the castle hall is neatly filled with several rows of sleeping centaur soldiers, and there are more than a hundred of them.
Not only that, but there were several awake centaurs guarding the passage from the hall to the castle gate.
As soon as these guys find out, as soon as they shout, the sixty or so big-eared monsters will immediately be surrounded by centaurs that are nearly twice as numerous as they are.
Polly was a little confused, and asked him to pick the lock, he was good at stealing things, and it was not okay to improvise and command the soldiers to fight.
The current situation beyond the plan made Polly chaotic for a while, and the weakness of Chen Jian's serious lack of military command talents was once again exposed.
In the secret room under the castle, Grand Lord Chen Jian was also restless at this time.
He was waiting for the signal to evacuate, but as the minutes and seconds passed, the signal did not appear.
He was glad that the elves had not organized another attack, and if the elves were willing to pay more lives and clear the passage with his shots, he would not be able to support him now.
If this happens, he can only escape from another secret passage, and then be chased to death by the elves all over the mountains.
"The people up there who are watching the signals aren't going to fall asleep, are they? Send someone to check it out! Unable to contain his emotions, Jian Chen sent another soldier to the ground to check.
While Terrence Rockwin's Chamber of Secrets looks quite sturdy, who can guarantee that it won't collapse after such a big movement on it?
Jian Chen was very worried that if there was a signal but he couldn't know it in time, wouldn't he, the lord, want to die with the elves?
This kind of death is a bit too much.
"Yes! Your Lord! The soldiers who received the order stood up and saluted, turned and walked in the direction of another passage.
At that moment, the sound of galloping footsteps was heard in the passage, and a soldier sprang out of it.
"Your Lord! There's a signal on it! Captain of the Guard, they're on the move! ”
(I would like to express my deep condolences to the compatriots who died in the Yushu disaster area!) China has been really troubled in recent years, alas~)
