Chapter 158: The Operation Begins
Enlina Tavern, Ilan waited quietly.
Since he took over the rescue mission of the Demon Castle, however, the adventurers who participated in the mission have not yet arrived, he can only continue to wait here, he will drink and chat with Williams in the tavern every day, pass the time, of course, daily training is essential, meditation, training skills, 36 forms of small stars, of course, occasionally practice enchantment, and forging and alchemy due to the limitation of space, he had to stop them temporarily.
That is, in three or two days, the team members who participated in this rescue operation arrived one after another, these people are very mysterious, everyone covers their faces with green gauze, as if they can't see people, which makes Yilan realize that the big man who needs to be rescued this time must be extraordinary, but I don't know which nobleman in the upper echelons of the empire or which head of a large organization.
Every time this group of mysterious characters came, they were personally received by the boss of Enlina, and then they began to stay in the room arranged by Enlina herself, and then they didn't come out, and the dragon didn't see the end, and because of this, the atmosphere of the tavern also became mysterious and solemn.
After about three days like this, Enlina finally came to inform Ilan that the people had arrived and it was time to go.
So, the group of them sneaked out of the room in the hazy night and began to hit the road.
Even Ilan got a green veil to cover her face, and the rescue team had a total of more than ten people, the same attire, black clothes and masks, Ms. Enlina was in charge of commanding the overall situation, and the rest of the people did not speak, just mechanically obeyed the order, and then hurried silently.
The team of twelve people did not follow the usual path, and during the day they did not take the main road, but only picked up the mountain paths, and only at night, they would go out of the mountains and speed on the official roads.
Under Yilan's careful observation, he noticed that each of them was almost similar to his own strength, and even a few people were even several times stronger than him in terms of breath alone, and the evil qi was amazing, I really didn't know how many people they had killed in their hands, and they were able to cultivate a demonic qi like a sea.
Since these people were all powerful third-level professionals, they were all very human, so the speed of the rapid march was very fast, and two days later, their group had appeared on the top of the Ogamdo Mountains.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Ilan looked at the familiar scenery of the Ogamdo Mountains, the Ogamdo Mountains in the Land of Projectiles, "small mounds", and the mountains were surrounded by tall Tsubaki trees and purple trees.
His heart was surging, familiar people and familiar things appeared in his memory one by one, and they were as kind and natural as in front of him.
"Hehe, Ogmudo, it's been a long time, I didn't expect my Ilan to come back again." Ilan's heart was beating faster, but he quickly held it back and didn't show his face.
Quietly followed Enlina and the others, over the mountains and mountains, all the way to Graham Castle.
They are all adventurers who have seen a lot of big scenes on the edge of life and death all year round, and they specialize in walking in some inaccessible narrow places, although they seem to be dangerous along the way, but they are experienced and can always avoid encountering some powerful magical beasts, so that a group of twelve of them, it took two days and two nights to finally cross the Ogemdo Mountains and enter the endless plain.
Afraid of revealing their whereabouts, they did not pass through and especially avoided the small town of Ogamdo, after all, their requirements for this operation were very secretive, and they needed to avoid contact with strangers as much as possible, so before leaving, the twelve people had sworn in the name of the sun god Salim that they would never divulge a single bit of this operation, otherwise, they would die without a place to die.
This made Elan feel very regretful, but he didn't know if he would ever see Annie, Master Hammer, Grandpa Brolin, and Grandpa Bellec again.
The twelve, after a rapid march of four days and four nights, finally reached the location of Graham Castle, but they did not rush into action, and Enlina sent a scout to inquire about the situation at Graham Castle. The rest, eleven of them, rested in place, awaiting further orders for action.
Their current position, about four or five miles away from Graham Castle, just enough to avoid the garrison of Graham Castle, this is a silent purple forest, eleven people, they avoid some frequented places, sit silently on the ground, wait quietly, or meditate, or sleep, replenish the energy consumed along the way, adjust their spirit and body to the best state as much as possible, and welcome the arrival of the rescue operation in a full state.
The night was hazy, and the people in meditation were almost silent, only hearing the chirping of various insects in the woods.
Scout Bigdal has returned, and he has brought some very important information about Graham Castle, for example, the strength of the castle garrison has been strengthened recently, and the garrisons that were originally scattered everywhere have suddenly received orders to withdraw one after another, and they have been arranged around the castle by the bloody butcher Gramm, patrolling day and night, originally only once in half a day, but also increased to once every two hours.
The most important thing is that the qualification to enter the castle is very strict, except for those who are the natives of the castle, to enter and exit the castle requires a pass issued by Lord Gramm himself, and the pass is very difficult to obtain.
Merchants and adventurers staying outside are searched more strictly, and if you want to enter the castle, you must have the residents of Graham Castle as a guarantor.
This made the hearts of everyone participating in the operation sink suddenly, and the rigorous defense must have brought great risks to this operation, after all, in the face of the overwhelming number of people and the advantage of the home field, the Earl of Graham and his garrison had only twelve third-level professionals, although they had an advantage in quality, but this advantage was not enough to reverse the disadvantage brought by the quantity.
Enlina's face was also very ugly, after all, this strict guard undoubtedly increased the difficulty of their rescue operation in disguise, and in the face of the impregnable defense, a series of plans they had planned to create chaos and infiltrate the castle had become less reliable on paper.
"Alas, the defense of Graham Castle is underestimated, could it be that someone has leaked our rescue plan?" Enlina frowned and thought, "It seems that you have to use the dark chess, you wait for a while, I want to go out for a trip to learn more about the situation, everyone pay attention to hiding, don't startle the snake." ”
Enlina hurried away, and the remaining eleven people continued to hide in the grove, the number of which was dense at night, black, easy to hide, and inaccessible.
However, during the day, this purple forest is relatively prosperous, and it is difficult to hide from time to time when people pass by, which makes them have to change their hiding place many times, but this is not difficult for these adventurers who do various tasks all year round.
Although people came and went, but none of the team members were found, they either hid in tall trees, or in the bushes, and of course, some people went underground.
Among them, Ilan is still relatively relaxed, he hides in a bush, he uses transfiguration, and transforms into an inconspicuous shrub, just hiding around passers-by, but there is no trace of it.
The waiting time was very long, Enlina went for a long time and did not come back, obviously it was not very smooth with Neiying, and she did not dare to enter the city directly, until the afternoon of the next day, she finally rushed back with a haggard face, which made the rest of the people finally let go of a hanging heart.
However, the news was not too optimistic, and the easily accessible corners of the castle were strictly guarded by Gramm's personnel, so that the hidden road to Gramm's castle was basically blocked.
At the same time, the castle's inner response gave Enlina a seemingly even more fantastic plan, and he gave Enlina a map of the underground drainage system of Graham Castle.
"Well, it's feasible to access Graham Castle through the Guò underground drainage channel." A thin, indifferent guy carefully analyzed the map and then explained to everyone.
"Blatter, how sure are you of successfully rescuing your target by entering the water dungeon at Graham Castle?" Enlina finally showed a little joy, after all, this operation made it impossible to sneak into the ground due to the strengthening of the city defense, which made her a headache, but fortunately, there was no endless road.
"If this passage map is reliable, the probability of a successful rescue can reach more than half, and if the defense of the water dungeon is not strong, it can even reach eighty percent. You see, here, and here, are the blind spots of the castle's defense, hehe, as long as we follow the underground pipeline, enter here, then, from the water dungeon, there is only a wall of separation, as long as the water dungeon's defense is not too strong, we are completely sure to rescue the target. Blatter pointed at the plumbing diagram, and Enlina and the others nodded incessantly.
"Okay, let's start the operation tonight, when the time comes, we will split into two teams, Blatter, you pick a few people to answer outside the water prison, and I will lead the team to rescue the target in person. What do you think? ”
"Captain, it's better for you to stay behind, and I'll come to the castle to rescue the target." Blatter said preemptively.
"No, I'll come in person, there are many things, and I have to arrange them personally, you just need to do a good job." Enlina has the posture of a heroine, and there is no doubt about it.
