[3] Fire of Shadowfang Castle (Infiltration)
A Forsaken Commander walked to the high platform, accompanied by two necromancers, and the Forsaken Commander said to those below, "Warriors of the Horde, I am the commander of this mission, Dallar. Vivo, you've worked hard in the past two months! Our training will end today, and the day after tomorrow we will heed Queen Nozo's call to go to Shadowfang Castle for a decisive battle against Arugao! He said passionately. Pen? Interesting?

"After these days of training, I believe everyone has an understanding of what kind of people our enemies are. Arugao - This human mage, although he used to be a member of Kenrito, but his magic power is not very good, he is terrible because he has a strong army, a force of werewolves, we must be stealthy and quick in this operation, and kill him before we can alarm the werewolf forces of Arugao. Dalal gestured with his hand to chop off his head, "Therefore, we will not have too many people involved in the action the day after tomorrow, and we will select 20 people according to the final results of your training in the past two months as the last fighters!" ”
Everyone was in an uproar, it turned out that they still had such a play, Dalal and the two necromancers beside him began to pick people in the crowd, and finally selected 20 people out of the more than 200 people who participated in our combat training, I don't know if I was lucky or unlucky, just among the 20 people here.
After selecting the 20-member death squad, Commander Dalal said to everyone: "Everyone, other people who have not been selected are invited to gather in the military area, you will also participate in the operation the day after tomorrow, and the commander over there will explain your specific matters." ”
After he let the unsuccessful ones leave, he said to the remaining 20 of us: "Everyone, you 20 people are the main force of our operation, and you will enter the Shadowfang Castle with me and the two high-ranking mages beside you, Fastiga and Calvin, and there is one last day left, please rest well, we have set up a luxurious rest area for you in the royal quarter, please make the final preparations before the action!"
At dawn of the day of action, Commander Dalal and two mages led us from the Undercity toward a forest of silver pines to the southwest.
The fog in the silver pine forest was heavy, and the forest was so blank that we couldn't see the way ahead, and we passed through the forest, and from time to time we would sweep away the dew on some leaves, which shook slightly beside us, not knowing whether to welcome or warn us.
Our troop consists of 23 men, including Commander Dalal and two Necromancers, consisting of 4 Warriors, 4 Priests, 5 Mages, 2 Druids, 2 Warlocks, 2 Thieves, 2 Hunters, and 2 Shamans. Most of the undead forsaken in the team, such as trolls, orcs and minotaurs combined, only account for half, because Commander Dalal said that the undead have a strong ability to resist wolf venom and can ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, so the members of other races of the tribe are relatively few, but it also shows that the orcs, trolls and minotaurs who enter this team are among the best.
When it became cloudy, we came to the southwest of the Silver Pine Forest, stopping behind a ridge. We were waiting for the instructions of Commander Dallal, only to see him standing on the hill and staring at the dense fog ahead, the sun was rising, the light gradually penetrated the thick fog, and we saw the shadow of a castle gradually appearing in the thick fog, it towered on the side of the mountain, the walls were dense, giving people a strange and dangerous feeling.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the misty forest on the side, and everyone's breathing immediately became very heavy, and I couldn't help but tighten the bowstring in my hand.
"Commander, it's me, Belmont." Someone shouted.
"It's our sentinel, don't be nervous." Dalal looked back and waved his hand.
The figure became clear, a lean forsaken one, and Dalal went up and asked, "Belmont, how is the sewer entrance going?" ”
"I've checked the commander, there's no one there, and now that the moat is dry, we can walk directly to the bottom of the ditch." The sentry replied.
"Good!" A look of excitement flashed across Dalal's face, and he turned to us and said, "Please check the equipment and supplies one last time, we will go down from here to the bottom of the castle moat, enter the castle through the sewers, and when we enter the castle, the Undercity will send troops to feint on the castle outside, and then we will sneak into the main tower of Arugao and take his head!" ”
"For the Horde!" The crowd clenched their fists and shouted.
Everyone began to check their equipment one after another, I put the bandages, life potions, and magic potions on the side of the small backpack so that it was easy to take in case of first aid, and the quiver also had arrows in the quiver, at this time, a tall minotaur druid came over and handed me a hard-boiled egg and said: "Troll hunter, this is the herbal baked egg I made, eating one before the battle is good for mental strength and stamina!" ”
"Ah, thank you!" I took the egg and swallowed it, and it tasted really good, and I felt refreshed.
The fog began to fade, and the outline of Shadowfang Castle became clearer on the other side of the mountain, and we began to climb down the hill to the foot of the hill, where there was a wide, deep moat of the castle, and the people staggered through the dark and muddy bottom of the ditch, and finally came to a sewer mouth at the back of the castle.
"Commander, this is the sewer that leads to the basement of the castle, from where you can access the stables," said the sentry Belmont. ”
"Alright, Belmont, go back and join up with the forces of the Undercity, and make sure to blow the horn when the attack is ready!" Commander Dalal said.
"Okay Commander!" The undead sentinel finished speaking and left.
"Okay, let's go, let's go, from now on, try not to speak with gestures, werewolves have very sensitive hearings!" Dalal was the first to burrow into the sewer hole.
Everyone followed into the sewer, everyone hunched down in the sewer, the big minotaur had to crawl to pass, the sewer was full of feces and urine, the smell was disgusting, and if you were not careful, you would have a lump on your hands and feet, it felt really disgusting.
After a long and smelly walkway, we climbed up from a manhole cover to a Chaoshan basement, which was empty, so we rested in it. My leather armor and bow and arrows were stained with yellow-black disgusting things, and I could only force my hands to wipe them off, and the smell, the touch, was truly unforgettable! Except for me, everyone else also exuded a strong smell of feces and urine, and some mages simply cast an ice armor on themselves, turning all these dirty things on their bodies into ice cubes and then swatting them off, and others saw that the mages had this trick, and they also asked them for help.
While we were busy tidying up, a faint whisper came from the basement: "Who dares to break into the castle of the prophet?" ”
Everyone looked up and saw an ethereal white figure floating above the basement, "It's a ghost!" A troll priest shouted.
Commander Dalral, female mage Fastiga, and old mage Calvin also looked up at the ghost, and they whispered, "Be careful, everyone, this is the ghost guarding the Shadow Fang Castle, created by the dark magic of Arugao!" ”
The ghost floated down from above, and said gloomily: "I am Baron Sivalen, the master of the castle of the prophet, and anyone who breaks into my castle on the mission will die!" A ghostly sword suddenly conjured up in his illusory hand, and with a whoosh, the sword slashed through the air.
"Everyone, be careful!" "Ahh Many people in the team were scratched by this long sword at once, because this long sword was invisible, and everyone could not use weapons and shields to block it.
"Kill him!" Everyone rushed towards the ghost, but it was like a puff of smoke, and the swords and bows passed through it to no avail, leaving the warriors, thieves and hunters dumbfounded, at which point the old mage Calvin shouted, "The ghost is immune to physical attacks, get out of the way, mages, shamans, warlocks, and druids, use your attack spells against it!" ”
As soon as the old mage's voice fell, fireballs, ice arrows, lightning arrows, falling stars, corrosive spells - all kinds of magic beckoned to this ghost, after a dazzling magic light and shadow, the ghost was subdued, this ghost called Baron Sivalene gradually became illusory, before disappearing he muttered to himself, from his words we know that this person was originally the owner of this castle, he was killed and turned into a ghost, as the castle guard has been wandering in this castle, and sadly, He didn't know until he died that the person who killed him was the same magician Arugao he had brought in.
