Chapter 104: The Assassination Underway
Ten days after I left the Big-Eared tribe with the Return Scroll, a troop of dark elves transporting supplies of five minotaurs and ten cavemen was heading down a rudimentary path toward the tribe of the Big-Eared Monsters. Cavemen are different from troglodytes, cavemen are slaves conquered by the dark elves when they are still underground, cavemen because they live underground all year round, their eyes have deteriorated, and they can only rely on touch and sound to distinguish the direction, in the dark and quiet underground, it is okay, in the surface of the earth is everywhere in the environment of sound, this ability of the caveman is greatly suppressed, and now they can only advance under the orders of the minotaur. The cavemen were all hunched, very thin and short, with a curved tail behind their backs, and the only weapon in their bodies was a wooden spear in their hands. Cavemen are a native race of the underground, they are numerous, but they are also lazy, and will only work when they are forced to work, and when fighting, cavemen generally rely on their large numbers to win.
Gondor and Riki hid in the grass beside the path, their eyes sharpened as the convoy slowly approached them, and the moment the convoy passed them, Riki flashed behind the Minotaur warrior at the back of the convoy, and both daggers plunged into the neck of the minotaur in front of him at the same time. Before the minotaur could scream, he drew his dagger and rolled over and jumped into the grass closest to him. Gondor also jumped out of hiding at this point, but because he was now invisible, the minotaurs and cavemen didn't notice him. As the others' attention was drawn to the screams of the minotaur at the back of the convoy, Gondor emerged from invisibility and slashed at the neck of a minotaur who turned his head, and immediately shadowed himself with a blade slicing through the minotaur's throat.
"Enemy attack!" A minotaur turned his head to see his companion lying in a pool of blood and let out a warning sound, and then he turned back to see another of his companions clutching his bleeding throat and making a "ho-ho" sound. The cavemen immediately gathered together after hearing the warning, and the remaining three minotaurs picked up their battle axes and looked around vigilantly, cold sweat kept flowing down their foreheads. The enemy had already killed two of their companions, but they had not even seen the murderer, which made them afraid. Suddenly, a minotaur who was on guard felt a slight noise behind him, and just about to turn around to check, he felt a sharp pain coming from his back, and then the strength of his body seemed to be quickly drained by something, and he couldn't even stand, and fell down softly. The sound of their companion falling to the ground caught the attention of the other two minotaurs, and when they turned to look, they saw only a blue figure disappearing into the grass by the roadside. The two minotaurs strode to the grass where the blue figure had disappeared, and slashed at the grass with the battle axe in their hands, and when they cut down all the grass near the blue figure's disappearance, they found that all the cavemen had died at some point.
Fear invaded the nerves of the two remaining minotaurs in the convoy, and they wisely chose to stand back to back together, and then slowly moved towards the path they had come. As for those materials, they can't even save their lives, so how can they still be in the mood to take care of those materials? After the two minotaurs left here back to back, two short figures slowly appeared, Gondor walked to the side of the supplies and took a closer look, and said to Rikimaru standing behind him: "These are all food, nothing special, the two of us each take some as spare food, and burn the rest directly, right?" ”
"I'm fine, but what about the remaining two minotaurs? Just let them go back like this? Riki said a little dissatisfied, if Gondor hadn't stopped him just now, he would have rushed up and ended up with those two minotaurs.
"What's the hurry?" Gondor squinted his eyes in the direction the minotaur had left and said, "How far can they go at this speed?" Sooner or later, we will catch up, and it will be too late for us to burn these materials first and then chase them, so that they can feel more fear, and then kill them, isn't it more fun? Gondor said in a whispering voice.
"Your bad taste is really annoying." Riki first looked at Gondor with disdain, and then sneered with him, "But I like your nasty bad taste. ”
Jock, the dark elf, has had a very sad time lately, as the underground passage project he is in charge of has recently gone wrong. The three forest tribes had suddenly lost contact with each other, and only the Shadow Eye had been seen in the tribe, and the troglodytes and minotaurs had been burned to the ground. The convoy responsible for transporting supplies to the three tribes was also killed, and he originally thought that this was a premeditated rebellion launched by the three tribes in private, so he sent a large army of dark elves to search carefully around the camps of the three tribes, hoping to find the direction of the tribes' escape, capture them all and then execute them in public one by one. Then Jock found that the three forest tribes had disappeared as if they had disappeared into thin air, after gathering in the camp of the big-eared monsters, leaving no trace. In the end, he had no choice but to arrange three more tribes from other places to continue digging in the original place, because the excavation progress was slowed down, and Jock was scolded by his boss, which made him very depressed.
However, Jock's troubles had only just begun, and then he arranged for a bear-man tribe to come to the original tribe of the big-eared monsters, and continue to dig the passages before the big-eared monsters. As for the tunnels that the Centaur Tribe and the Halfling Tribe were responsible for before, the other two tribes he arranged were still close to completing their current tasks, and they would not be able to continue the work there for a while. Three days after arranging the Bearren Tribe, he received a report from his men that all the warriors guarding the Bearren tribe had been killed with sharp weapons overnight. After receiving this news, Jock's first reaction was that the bearren tribe had also rebelled. However, his subordinates' next words overturned his conjecture, because all the bears in the bear-man tribe were still in the tribe, and the patriarch of the bear-man tribe was afraid that the dark elves would misunderstand something, so he ran to report it to the dark elves.
Jock took this matter very seriously and personally led a team to the bearman tribe to investigate the situation. Then he received news that all the men he had left around to search for the whereabouts of the rebel tribe had also been killed, and that the wounds had been inflicted with sharp weapons. At this time, no matter how stupid Jock is, he knows that someone is deliberately targeting the dark elves, trying to slow down the excavation progress of the tunnels in this way, and it is very likely that the humans discovered their plan. After coming to this conclusion, Jock sent someone to report the situation to his superiors quickly, and at the same time lived directly in the bear tribe, vowing to find the assassins and then break them into pieces.
Riki and Gondor are now hiding in a tree near Jock's camp, watching the dark elves in the camp, after the two of them assassinated the overseer of the bear tribe, but because of the orders given by their master before leaving, the two of them did not attack the bears in the tribe. Now that they were hiding in the trees looking for a target to attack at night, Gondor carefully observed the layout of the camp for a while, and said to Rikimaru: "Maruko, the guy who led the team here this time seems to be the dark elf official in charge of the excavation of the tunnels in this area, should we just kill him, the progress of the dark elves will definitely be greatly affected by killing him." ”
"I said don't call me Maruko, if you do this again, I'm going to call you Gangmen!" Rikimaru whispered a threat to Gondor in dissatisfaction, then looked at the camp and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy to kill him, although those pesky shadow evil eyes can't see us, they seem to be able to see the abnormal fluctuations in the air, and thus discover our existence." With these shadow eyes, it's nearly impossible for us to sneak in and kill that dark elf. ”
"What do you say about Rikimaru, the task given to us by the master is to delay the excavation progress of these dark elves, if we just leave it alone, we can't do it." When Gondor heard Rikimaru's threat, he wisely chose to change his tune.
"It's okay, we can take our time." Riki said with a gloomy smile: "We can kill those underground creatures on the periphery first, and slowly look for opportunities, I don't believe that the dark elf will always hide in the camp and not come out." Even if he didn't come out, it would be impossible for the dark elves to dig tunnels just here, and if they really couldn't find an opportunity here, wouldn't there be other places? ”
"Yes, we can't kill this person in charge, we can go somewhere else to continue our work, anyway, the master's order is to slow down their project progress, and we are not required to stay here. If possible, we can also dive underground and help the master explore the underground situation, and if someone finds out, it's a big deal to find a place to teleport back to the base with the teleportation scepter, and then run again. Gondor listened to Rikimaru's words and said what he thought.
"What you said is the same as I thought, let's create some chaos at night and see if that dark elf will take the bait, if not, we will change places immediately, and let them be scared here."
