Chapter 57: The Shadow in Action

Although the Dust Swamp is a swamp, there are still large trees that cover the sky. Because there is no sunlight, there is a faint mist floating in the entire swamp, and people who are not familiar with the swamp are likely to break into a non-poisonous fog and then be poisoned to death. This is nothing new in the swamp.

However, veteran adventurers know that they need to make a lot of preparations to really go deep into the swamp, the whole swamp is wild, rich in resources, bare ore veins, precious herbs, and high-quality furs, since the great war a few years ago, this place has become a holy place for adventurers.

It's not just a symbol of death and destruction, it's a place full of gold, and it's far more rewarding for adventurers than the usual tasks of the aborigines. The powerful guilds have their own hunting groups in the swamp, and they have a clear division of labor, and they go deep into the swamp after Theramore gets supplies.

As long as you are not brave enough to enter the territory of the black dragon and ogre, you can generally get a good harvest, and on the contrary, some guilds close to the Jasper Collar can even get some necessary supplies in the dragonman's village and the ogre's town. Because almost everyone knows that ogres and black dragons have submitted to the Jasper Collar.

It's just that both dragons and ogres are very xenophobic races and don't like to be disturbed, of course, this is actually Brad's request. Only a certificate from Theramore is eligible for the right to rest, station, and store goods at the place of dragons and ogres.

This is still very attractive to adventurers, because what is stored in the Theramore warehouse can also be taken out at these two strongholds. Very convenient. In the past two years, it has attracted a lot of adventurers for the jasper collar.

This time for the Jasper Collar, if it weren't for the goblins, the conditions proposed were very tempting. If it weren't for the fact that the Jasper Territory would perish, no adventurer would have taken advantage of this mercenary mission.

For more than two years, although the jasper collar has gained a lot of prestige. But Jasper leads a terrifying organization that also terrifies adventurers and other forces, and that is the shadow. The countless fears brought by the shadow in the past two years, and many of the plans against the Jasper Collar were stillborn. Their whereabouts are secretive, they come and go without a trace, and most importantly, their methods are cruel and vicious. It scared many people. And because there are many soul warlock masters among the shadows, there are no secrets to hide in front of them.

Stormwind's MI7 is tightly active in the Eastern Kingdoms, but the shadow of the Jasper Collar has enveloped the entire continent. Everyone talks about shadows, and they talk about tiger color change. And for the black dragon princess who looks charming and extremely noble, she is even more afraid. Brad disappeared for two years, and the Black Dragon Princess's deterrent power was firmly in the first place among the Jasper Collars.

This incident was also in the middle of the shadow's contact that someone dared to offend the Jade Collar.

Night. The moon stars are scarce. But in the swamp, he couldn't reach his fingers. There was silence all around, and even the sound of insects was completely gone, which was obviously abnormal in the swamp at night. At night, insects and nocturnal animals are at their most active, but now it's quiet, eerie. If you have good eyesight, you will see those insects hiding in the grass and among the leaves, not daring to move at all, as if there is something terrible around them.

On a small hillside not far away, there were several dark shadows standing quietly in place, led by a slender body that could vaguely see the silhouette of a slender body, obviously a woman's figure.

Behind her were several beings darker than the night. They stood silently behind the woman, as if emitting a black mist. Full of horror.

The eyes of the woman at the head quietly looked at the little bonfire in the distance, and the corners of her mouth gently hooked a graceful arc, if anyone can see this alluring smile, they will inevitably be fascinated, and no one will find that there is a real power hidden in this alluring smile.

Time slipped away quietly, no one spoke, and in such a dark place, they did not speak, and no one could detect them.

"Commander, it has been established that it was the boar man and centaur who had set up a strong guard at the junction." A man in black suddenly appeared not far in front of the woman, knelt down on one knee and said.

The woman waved his hand to get him up, and said coldly, "How many people are there in the sentry?" ”

The black shadow stood up and continued to say meticulously: "There are four thousand centaurs, two thousand and five boar men, and one thousand and five centaurs. ”

The woman pondered for a moment and said, "How far are those rabble from here, and how long will it take to get here?" ”

"Back to the commander, General Kogar's ogre army is chasing very closely, and it is estimated that the rabble will be able to come here and make peace with them before dawn at the latest." A warlock behind the woman who exuded a dark aura said.

"Three hours." The woman pondered for a moment and said, "Two hours, this sentry must be taken over within two hours." Now that the goal is set, let's do it. ”

"Yes." The Assassin's body vanished into thin air again.

"It's ridiculous that I caused such a big loss to the Jade Collar and now wants to escape." A fierce glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she looked quietly at the campfire in the distance again.

The location of this sentry is excellent, right at the junction of barren land and dust swamps. Now that the centaurs have overwhelmed the minotaurs in the Bleak Lands, they have begun to spread through the barren lands. The best place to station is the Oasis, but the Oasis has been occupied by the Jasper Lord.

And the one who controls the oasis is the centaur Khan of the Jasper Collar, and in more than two years, he has gradually stabilized. And as the centaurs spread across the barrens, he subdued a number of small centaur tribes. With the strong logistical support of the Jade Collar, Liaoyuan has been invincible since it gained a firm foothold.

The Centaur tribe negotiated with Liaoyuan in the hope that Liaoyuan would be annexed, but Liaoyuan refused. The hatred between the centaurs and the Jasper Collar deepened as the Liaoyuan clan expanded, which is why the goblins found them and the centaurs would come to their aid. The goblins promised them that if they took Theramore, they would unite the oasis of the Barrens for the centaurs.

The real place where the Boar People are located is Razor Heights, where the spirits of Agamagan are stationed. But over time, the Barren Lands became known as the place where the Boar People developed, and the entrance to the Razor Heights and the swamp was very close.

Because of the climate and topography, the boar people are very unsuitable to live in the swamp area, but as the Jasper Leader integrates the power of the swamp, the dragons and ogres have grown under the protection of the Jasper Lord, and the only goblin station has survived, and it has no effect at all. The boar people were afraid that the Jasper Collar would eventually reach into the barren land, and the boar people's path would be blocked.

This is what the boar people are very reluctant to see, and it is the reason why the goblins approached them and promised them a series of benefits. After the army entered the swamp, the two races left a way back, establishing a sentry at the junction of the Dust Swamp and the Barrens.

The location was originally a inn built by Theramore to supply travelers to and from the swamps and barrens, but now it has been destroyed, and all the people in the inn, including some hapless adventurers and traders, have been poisoned, and even become a meal for these savage creatures.

It was past two o'clock in the morning, and most of the people were sleeping soundly in their simple tents. And the guards in charge of the vigil were also drowsy, chatting without a word, as if they were awake. Obviously, they didn't think much of the leader's arrangement, firstly because of their savage temperament, but because they simply couldn't imagine in their simple minds that at this time, there would be any force to sneak up on them.

After all, the Jasper Territory is under siege, and the barren land has no power. The only motive of the Liaoyuan tribe was also stopped by the centaurs there, and they couldn't get over at all.

They weren't wrong, but they didn't know what kind of opponent they were up against. Brad knew Onexia's thoughts, and even told Onexia a lot of war stories about ancient China on the earth, which made Onexia appreciate those ancients.

She has a gloomy personality and likes intrigue, and the main thing is that she now controls the shadow, and she carries the shadow forward.

While the soldiers on the night watch were napping, they didn't know that death was near. Behind them, they just felt a pain in their heads, and then they were smothered.

Then the Night's Watch appeared silently behind them, their dim daggers wiping their throats against the stuffy. A faint smell of blood filled the air, and the soldiers who were on the night vigil had their throats cut before they could even make a sound, and then died without saying a word.

And these black shadows suddenly disappeared into the night at the same time, and they did not make a sound from beginning to end, and the whole process was very uniform, as if it had been carefully rehearsed.

When the Assassins vanished, the sleeping boars and centaurs did not notice anything. It was at this time. There was a sound of wings waving in the sky, and a row of black dragons flew low into the air.

If you have good eyesight, you can see that there are two or three men in black on each black dragon, and these men in black throw objects with small parachutes downward, and these round things only make a slight sound when they hit the ground.

Then, after landing, the round thing will emit a faint green smoke, and the black dragon flew around, and after only a while, the entire camp was already filled with a faint blue smoke.

Someone in the camp finally reacted and shouted loudly, but they didn't have any strength in their bodies, their whole bodies were soft, and even their voices became weak after shouting twice, and the whole camp became quiet again after a minute of coming to life, and all the soldiers were full of fear in their eyes, and they saw countless people in black falling from the sky...... (To be continued......)
