Chapter 244: The Bloody Plot
The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire.
At night, Fort Riptide is pitch black, and in this war-torn world, there are no municipal buildings in the kingdoms, and there are no street lights for public facilities and other concepts.
This situation is very inconvenient for the people who live here, but it is exactly what they want for some people who want to act by night.
In front of the castle in the center of Riptide Castle, a team of guards is dozing listlessly, which is a great temptation for those who want to explore the castle at night, because this scene is clearly telling them: come, if you want to touch it, act quickly, as long as you are quick with your hands and feet, we promise not to see you.
Unfortunately, this trick only applies to rookies and is unlikely to be of much use to cautious and seasoned veterans.
Put the hope of successfully infiltrating the castle on the negligence of the guards, this is just a plot played in the TV series, you can't really take it seriously, right?
Leo pursed his lips disdainfully, this level of trap wants to trap people, and it is too underestimating people, except for rookies, no one will be fooled.
What does MI7 do?
That's what assassination does, and when it comes to infiltration and assassination, the Stormwind Assassin Corps is world-class, and Leo, who was trained by Pasonia to make a plan herself, is simply familiar with the tactics of defending against invasion and infiltrating assassination.
It was impossible for the Riptide Guards to fool him with this little trick.
Activating the dwarf stealth, Leo Shiran walked in from the gate of the castle, and made a contemptuous gesture to a group of guards pretending to be asleep as he passed: Can you be more amateur, have you ever seen a group of people dozing for two hours without anyone moving, not professional at all.
Walking into the gate of Riptide Castle, Leo suddenly stopped, he gently squatted down and looked at the ground, a layer of black powder had quietly spread all over the inner ten meters of the gate.
Seeing this, Leo scolded secretly, these guys are really cunning enough, if they weren't cautious, they would probably be yin if they were other people. The guards at the door must have deliberately exposed flaws that all veterans could see, in order to relax the vigilance of the infiltrators, and when the infiltrators were secretly proud, would they still be able to find these black powders on the ground?
Leo didn't know what the black powder on the ground was for, but he knew it wasn't a good thing, and it couldn't be contaminated.
Naturally, it was impossible for Leo to walk over the black powder, but instead of jumping over the ground, he carefully retreated, and dug a tunnel in a small corner not far from the castle.
Since there is a poisonous vine, why not use it before digging the tunnel?
Leo smiled and shook his head, brother, don't you know that there is such a thing as a magic enchantment? I entered the gate of Riptide Castle to test if anyone had set up an alarm-type magic barrier.
Through the tunnel dug by the poisonous vine, Leo quietly infiltrated the castle, this castle is indeed tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and the castle is surrounded by insidious traps, but the inside of the castle is extremely safe.
There are really a lot of masters in this castle.
Hiding in the shadows, transporting the shadow to the limit, silently sensing the momentum of the strong man in the castle, Leo was secretly frightened.
Not to mention the masters of the Legendary Realm, there are as many as seven epic-level powerhouses alone. Seven epic powerhouses, this is not a small number, in the mortal world they are enough to establish a force.
The Shadow Council controlled by Kil'Gardan is really powerful, and the seven epic powerhouses do have the ability to cooperate with the army of the undead, not to mention the twenty masters of the Legendary Realm.
The status of the masters of the Legendary Realm and the epic powerhouses in the Shadow Council must not be too high, after all, they have Kil'Gardan behind the scenes, even if the epic powerhouses cannot be spawned in large numbers, but the number will not be as rare as the local forces in this world.
Walking quietly through the various rooms of the castle and exploring the inside of the castle, Leo discovered a phenomenon, that is, the castle was inhabited by nobles, and these nobles used the title prince when talking about the owner of the castle.
Prince!
Called a prince by so many nobles of the Araso Kingdom, this person's identity is about to come out.
There are two princes in the kingdom of Araso, and Prince Galen is taking refuge in the valley, and the prince in the mouth of these nobles will certainly not be him. In this way, the prince could only be another man - Garin. Thorbain.
As the prince of the kingdom of Araso, Garin. How could Tolbain treat the people of the kingdom of Araso like this? Leo instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this matter, and in his mind, this Prince Garin was probably just a puppet, a puppet controlled by the Shadow Council, and his role was to fool humanity on the table.
It's just that a prince can be controlled, but what about so many nobles of the kingdom of Araso, doesn't anyone have any objection to sending human refugees as ogre rations?
With doubts in mind, Leo continued his quest towards the heart of the castle, where he believed he would get what he wanted to know.
Approaching the center of the castle, a conversation came to his ears.
"Father, are we just watching Facurrest's atrocities and doing nothing?" It was a young aristocratic young man who said this, and when he spoke of Facurrest, the young nobleman looked indignant.
"Silence!" A middle-aged man with a long beard opposite the young nobleman covered his mouth with a frightened face, and this middle-aged man was the father of the young nobleman.
The middle-aged man sighed, lowered his voice and said to his son, "Now that the syndicate formed by Duke Facurrest and the group of people who follow him has taken control of the entire Riptide Castle, what can we do?" If we stand up against him, we will be food for the ogres tomorrow. ”
With that, the middle-aged man sighed again.
"Bear with me, child, the only thing we can do now is wait. When Prince Galen returns with his army, Facurrest and his lackeys will be punished. ”
Hearing this, Leo understood a lot, he knew the organization of the syndicate, this is a group of guys who are engaged in fighting, very similar to some nobles in the Storm Kingdom, they are all controlled by a group of ambitious guys, but the nobles of the Storm Kingdom still belong to the kingdom's system after all, and the Syndicate has torn up with the royal family of Arasaw.
Duke Facurrest, it seems that this guy ordered the refugees to be used as food rations for ogres, as a human being, he actually gave such an order, this guy must be a scourge to stay in the world, since it is a scourge, it is better to kill him.
Leo was about to leave when the young nobleman spoke again.
"Father, what do we do now? The situation of Her Highness Scarlett and Her Highness Garin is very dangerous. ”
There's news of Scarlett's stupid girl!
The pace that was about to leave stopped, wasn't the purpose of Leo's coming this time just for Scarlett? Now that there is news of her, how can Leo leave.
"Don't worry, Facurrest has only imprisoned them, and they are not in much danger for the time being. I just hope that Prince Galen will move fast enough. ”
Captivity?
Leo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that Scarlett had just been arrested, and nothing major had happened.
There must be a place for the prisoners, and the place that was explored when he came in was definitely not where Scarlett was imprisoned, so all that was left was ...... Leo thought, and looked into the depths of the castle.
The place where Prince Garin and Scarlett were imprisoned must have been heavily guarded, and the most heavily guarded place in the entire castle was the core of the castle - the residence of the king of the kingdom of Araso, and it was also the location where Leo sensed the seven epic powerhouses.
There is no way to fight against the seven epic powerhouses after changing others, but for Leo, if there are no more powerhouses in the castle, he really doesn't feel that there is anything to fear.
Isn't it just seven epics, I can still bear it.
If he really saw Scarlett, Leo wouldn't mind forcibly saving people from the hands of seven epic powerhouses.
Although the plot of the hero saving the beauty is bloody, it is always tried and tested for men. Although Scarlett is a little tougher and has a more arrogant surname, it is undeniable that she is indeed a beauty, and Leo does not mind saving her if he can. What's more, this kid has some ideas about the beautiful female knight in his heart.
In the castle, which originally belonged to the king's residence, a human man who looked very similar to Prince Galen sat on the ground with a dejected face, and he held a sword tightly in his hand, and the words were engraved on the sword: Tokaral.
Beside the sword-wielding man, a female paladin was burning with a blazing golden light, and she was trying to use the holy light to heal the man, but the holy light of all things lost its effect on the sword-wielding man, and the man's face was still gray after most of the day.
With a gray face, deep eye sockets, prominent cheekbones, and more importantly, the brilliance in his eyes has completely dissipated, his body is cold, and he has no breath between his noses, but he can still speak like an ordinary person, which is clearly not a person, but an undead.
The sword-wielding man who was being treated by a female paladin with holy light was clearly an undead!
A female paladin who believes in the Holy Light and takes it as her mission to drive away evil creatures actually wants to use the Holy Light to help an undead, and if people see this scene, they don't know how many pairs of eyeballs will be shattered.
How ridiculous this scene is.
Leo used the dwarf stealth device to cooperate with the shadow escape, and quietly sneaked into this room under the noses of the seven epic powerhouses surrounding the various exits of the house, and saw such a scene.
The sword-wielding man who has become an undead is presumably Garin. Prince Thorbain, isn't it Scarlett who doesn't give up and has been trying to heal Prince Garin with holy light.
