【42】Razor Ridge's Conspiracy (Camp Taurazu)
We rode the wolf on the golden road, and in front of us were the vast low grasslands, where horses galloped from time to time, and on the west side, near the foothills, we could see the huge figure of the thunder lizard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Towards dusk, we finally arrived near the Taura camp, where a towering minotaur totem appeared in front of the steppe, next to a tall tree, and under the tree were scattered several large tents of animal skins, and the whole camp was surrounded by a ring of wooden fortifications.
The elite Kukaron guard, who was at the forefront, took out a horn and blew it, and a long, loud sound crossed the grassland, and after a while, an equally long horn sounded from the Taurazu camp, and then the gate on the outskirts of the camp opened, and we rode the wolf directly into the camp from the grassland.
The Taurazu camp is much smaller than the crossroads stronghold, only one-third the size of the crossroads, and the soldiers in the camp are all minotaurs, we rode the wolf to the big tent under the minotaur totem, and a minotaur shaman with two minotaur soldiers was already waiting for us at the gate of the big tent.
"Honorable Kukaron Guards and the Five Warriors, welcome to the Taurazu Camp, where I am the leader of the shaman, Jon Stareye." The Minotaur shaman bowed.
We descended from the wolf and saluted the minotaur shaman with our fists to our chests, "Hello Priest Jon. ”
"Priest Jon, we have come on the orders of Grand General Garrosh to infiltrate the Boar People tribe of Razor Ridge with these five warriors, and we hereby ask for your help." An elite Kukaron guard said.
"Oh? What are the five warriors going to do in the tribe of the boar people? Jon Stareye asked.
"We're going to assassinate the Boar People's leaders, Calga Ribthorn and Fire-Eyed Mundres, and sabotage their outposts to create an opportunity for the army to attack Razor Ridge." The warrior Kaslak replied first.
"Oh? Is Grand Chief Thrall really determined to do anything to these boar people? ”
"This is General Garrosh's order." I answered.
Jon Stareye heard this answer with a meaningful look on his face, and said, "Oh, I see~" His gaze quietly shifted to the two Kukaron elite guards.
The two Kukaron elite guards didn't say anything, but said, "Priest Jon, please arrange for the five warriors to infiltrate the Boar People tribe immediately, the general has asked to get the information on Razor Ridge within three days." ”
"Understood!" Jon Stareye turned to us and asked, "Five Warriors, what are you doing to prepare for this operation?" ”
"We've got a transformation potion that will transform us into boar people so we can sneak into Razor Ridge, but the potion will only last a day." I replied.
"Oh? Take out the Transfiguration Potion and show it to me. ”
The five of us took out the transformation potion in our respective bags, and Jon Stareye took the transformation potion in a flat bottle from me, and took it in his hand to look at it carefully, "Hmm~ Yes, the color is very good, it is indeed an authentic transformation potion, this is the alchemist Wood's preparation for you, right?" ”
"Priest Jon, do you know him?" We wondered.
"No, we haven't dealt with each other, but I've been exposed to a lot of the potion he has concocted."
"Huh?" Everyone was a little surprised.
"Because—you're not the first to transform into boar people." Jon Stareye replied.
"What did you say?" All five of us were surprised, "Has anyone ever done the same thing before?" ”
"Yes." Jon Stareye nodded and said, "Actually, we have been sending people to infiltrate the tribe of the boar people to collect information, and those informants used this transformation potion to infiltrate them. ”
"Then why does the Great Chief want us to do the same thing?" The thief and warlock asked.
"That's because our intelligence work was completely discovered by the boar people, and all the intelligence agents sent in before were arrested."
"What!? How so? ”
Jon Stareye sighed, "Alas, this is all because a few months ago the tribe of the boar people came to a mysterious mage, it is said that this person is called Marklin, also a boar man, his origin is very strange, because the boar people themselves believe in shamanism, use the power of the earth and the elements, and I have never heard of any of them practicing the power of magic and arcane. However, this boar man named Marklin used powerful magic to find out all our informants who had infiltrated the boar people, and the intelligence officers sent later could not escape his eyes, so that he completely cut off our intelligence line, and couldn't figure out what the boar people were doing now. ”
"So...... Wouldn't it be that we would also be discovered by him this time of infiltration? We exclaimed, especially the thieves and warlocks, who reacted the most, "What a mission this is!" Does the Great Chief want us to be cannon fodder!? ”
Jon Stareye signaled us to calm down, and he said, "The Great Chief has a reason to send five of them, and you are the most famous warriors in our tribe, so you may be able to succeed if you sneak in this time!" ”
"Fart~!" The thieves and warlocks replied unceremoniously.
The two Kukaron elite guards next to him coughed dryly, and the thieves and warlocks relented a little, and Jon Stareye hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I just said this to make you watch out for the boar man named Marklin, not to make you give up the mission, and if you don't want to do it, the Great Chief will have to clean me up." He deliberately lowered his voice in the second half of the sentence and only let a few of us hear it.
"This mission is indeed dangerous, but the fact that Grand Chief Sal and General Garrosh have asked you to come to me shows that I have the ability to help you complete this mission." Jon Stareye continued.
"Shaman, how can you help us?" The thief and the warlock said.
"First of all, it's your transformation potion, I'll do some enhancements to make your transformation effect more stable~"
"Priest Jon, what do you want to do?" I asked.
"I'll ask my subordinates to catch a few boarmen near Razor Ridge and come back, and then I'll add their blood and my special auxiliary materials to your potion to transform into those boarmen who have been captured, and then you can use their identities to infiltrate Razor Ridge." Jon Stareye explains.
"How long will this take? The army at the crossroads didn't have enough time. The two Kukaron elite guards, who had been silent just now, said at this time.
"It won't be too long, I'll send troops to arrest people near Razor Ridge tonight, and tomorrow I will definitely be able to capture a few wild boar people to set up this operation." Jon Stareye replied.
"Well, then you act as soon as possible, and we must also go back as soon as possible to report the departure time of the five warriors to the general." Two elite Kukaron guards returned.
"No problem! Tomorrow I'm sure I'll be able to turn these five warriors into real boar people! And before that, let's take advantage of the beautiful night of this grassland to have a roasted gazelle feast. Jon Stareye gestured to a lit bonfire in the far reaches of the camp.
The smell of barbecue came from the grill next to the campfire, and everyone felt hungry, so we unloaded our bags and stayed at the ancestor of Tola that night.
