It was late in the night, and the people were making the final preparations before the action, and they all took time to rest after a simple dinner, and as soon as the five men lay down, they snored. Because they were hiding in the cellar, it was much safer than outside, so they were relieved to hand over the task of guarding to Nerfi, who had been in a coma for an afternoon.

Ted moved his wrist with a nervous and excited look. "Even though I've only slept for more than four hours, I feel like I'm almost recovering. ”

After all, Magill is much more experienced, and he is still calm at the moment. "I'm sure most of those people in the Twilight Cult are asleep right now, and it's a good time to sneak attack. ”

Ulf armed himself and looked at Nerfi. "Are you ready?"

Nerfi nodded, touched the dagger on his boot, and stood up. "Ready. ”

Stan wonders where Ulf has hidden the five throwing knives, but doesn't bother to ask him if Nerfi's safety is the most important thing right now. "Nerfi, you must keep up with Ulf and Ted, and don't be left alone. ”

"Don't worry, Stan, and be careful yourself. Nerfi smiled.

Stan is speechless again, and Nerfi's smile always makes him feel at a loss. "I will. ”

"Let's talk about it when I have any love words. Magill clenched his right hand into the palm of his left hand. "Let's go!"

The ruins of the night were silent, not even the chirping of insects, and the moonlight shone on the earth, illuminating the way for everyone. Sparse ghosts hovered in the distance, and the group slowly moved forward in search of a way to avoid them. Ted at the beginning is really very clever, and can always find a shortcut to climb over a seemingly roadless ruin, thus avoiding all the ghosts dangling on the obvious road, and getting closer and closer to the direction that Tiring is pointing without encountering any ghosts.

"Stop!" Nellfi noticed something unusual, and she stood on tiptoe and looked ahead.

Everyone immediately stopped, and Tirin looked at her suspiciously. "It's a short distance from their camp, just ahead. ”

Nerfi crouched down. "You can get close to them during the day and not be detected because they don't cast the enchantment, and at night, they do cast the enchantment to prevent ghosts, and you look ahead, is there not a single ghost left?"

Tirin glanced forward and crouched down. "You're right, so I'm just lucky during the day?"

"Yes, and Ted too, you're so risky that you went out to scout without asking me. Nellfi removed her wand from her belt. "Ulf, Ted, stay close to me, and the rest of me will get out of my way. ”

"No matter how you ask, you've fainted, we can't wait an afternoon in vain. Magill muttered and stepped aside.

Stan grabs Ulf's arm and looks at him with a serious face. "Nerfi is up to you, make sure she's safe. ”

Ulf nodded solemnly. "Don't worry, Stan, we don't need you to say it, we will also fight to protect her, this is also the order of the High Lord, and of course protect you. ”

Stan let go of his hand when he heard Ulf say this, but he still stared at Nerfi very uneasily.

Ulf and Ted stood on either side of Nerfi, the mage raising his wand and chanting a spell softly, and the wand spun in a circle in the air. "We shouldn't be triggering their enchantment right now, but there's a good chance that the mages at the Night's Watch will notice. ”

"Then we'll kill them before they find out. Ted pulled the dagger from his waist and leaned down, ready to strike. ”

"Let's start, I'm going to pee any longer. Ulf's words cause Stan and Nerfi to nearly fall to the ground.

Magill glanced at him, then gave an order. "Action!"

Looking at the backs of the trio as they drifted apart, Stan felt something in his heart leave him, and Tirin patted him on the shoulder. "Don't look at it, we need to change positions, quick, follow me!"

Ulf was at the front, Ted was following closely on the right, and Nalfi was at the end, keeping a twenty-yard distance between the three of them, which was what Nerfi had ordered, otherwise her magic would not be able to hide them. The three of them walked cautiously for a short time, and Ulf at the front stopped in front of a half-man-high earthen wall, and pointed forward with his right hand.

Nerfi hid behind a broken wall behind the two of them, only to see Ulf and Ted gesturing to exchange something, and finally Ted nodded, and the two stopped making any movements, but stared ahead. Nerfi followed their line of sight, and about twenty yards ahead, two figures were leaning against the door of a half-blown house, and just as she was blinking and trying to see a little more clearly, the two knights suddenly climbed over the earthen wall.

The two pitch-black figures quickly ran to another hiding place, and then the two split into two ways, one left and one right, and ran to the next hiding place, and by this time, they were less than ten yards away from the two mages who were on the night watch. Nerfi's heart hung in her throat, she thought they would be discovered by the mages, but to her surprise, the two of them were so agile and even more stealthy than the black cat, that the mages on the other side did not notice that the danger was so close to them.

A suffocating silence ensued, and the two knights did not make any further moves, and Nerfi glanced around worriedly to make sure there was no danger around him. When she turned to look ahead again, she saw the last moment of the two knights leaping forward quickly, and the two mages collapsed in the hands of the knights without making a sound. From this distance, Nerfi couldn't see how the knights were attacking, but she knew that they had succeeded, so she carefully leaned down and ran forward.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Nerfi caught a glimpse of a dark figure walking towards the knight from behind a broken wall, and she wanted to call out to warn them, but realized that she couldn't make any noise at this time, and the shadow seemed to see the knight in front of the door. "You ......"

There was a flash of cold light in the moonlight, and Ulf's right hand swung forward, and the black shadow only said two words, and his hands grabbed something around his neck, and he fell forward.

The knights hurriedly dragged the two corpses at the door aside, and then immediately guarded the left and right sides of the door, and Ulf did not forget to press his hand in the direction where Nerfi was, signaling her to hide first.

After waiting for five minutes, there was no movement in the half-ruined house, and it seemed that the mages were sleeping soundly, and the two words of haste did not wake them up at all. Ulf gestured to Ted again, and then walked to the other side by himself, clinging to the wall, where the bombed-out half of the room, without any walls, could see what was going on.

Ulf crouched down and slowly stretched his head out from below, and suddenly he immediately retracted his head and stood up, his back pressed against the wall, while changing the dagger in his right hand to his left.

Nerfi watched the two of them in bewilderment, but she knew what they must be waiting for, so she had to patiently watch the surroundings in place. The sound of gravel trampling footsteps came from the direction of Ulf, and Nerfi nervously poked his head out of his hiding place, but Ted stayed by the door and did not go to Ulf's side, and Nerfi was surprised by the composure of the young knight.

Another dark shadow flashed out from behind half of the room, and Ulf's powerful right hand grabbed his neck from behind, covering his mouth tightly, and at the same time pulling him in front of him with force, the dagger in his left hand neatly brushing the mage's neck. The mage whose throat had been cut clutched in the air with his hands in the air, but his feet were limp and unable to move, and after struggling for a few seconds, he finally stopped moving.

Nerfi's heart was pounding, but Ulf looked like he had killed a chicken, and the knight dragged the mage's body to the ground, and once again stuck his head out to look behind the house. After a moment of observation, Ulf finally waved at Nerfi to let her pass.

The smell of blood rattled in Nerfi's stomach, and she resisted the urge to vomit and ran to Ulf, where the knight pointed to the back of the house and shook his head. Nellfi covered her nose and poked her head out, she understood why Ulf didn't move on. Behind the wall, there were the remaining mages, and on the other side there were no walls, not even a roof, and it turned out to be a house with only one wall left. In addition to the mage who was still asleep, there was also a mage who was still asleep resting against a wooden stake on the other side, but the most surprising thing for Nerfi was that there was a small enchantment around the sleeping mage, this enchantment was not invisible, but shone with a strange purple light, which turned out to be the one that made Ulf stop.

Nerfi stepped back and shook her head at Ulf, she pondered for a moment and gestured to the wand in her hand. Ulf understood what she meant, and it was time to signal that another group of companions had rushed in. Ulf gestured to Ted, who was not far away, who slowly moved to the other side of the wall, ready to attack over the wall from there. Nalfi raised her wand, but was then pressed down by Ulf, and the knight mouthed her to wait, then stuck his head out to watch the sleeping mage. The wait seemed to have no end in sight, and though it was only five minutes, Nellfi felt like five hours, and finally, Ulf withdrew his hand from holding his wand and nodded at her.

Nerfi raised her wand above her head, chanting a spell silently in her closed mouth, and a dazzling ball of light shot into the sky, illuminating the vicinity. The mage of the night watch turned his head in horror to look at the ball of light in the air, and immediately shouted loudly in an attempt to wake up his sleeping companion. The orb of light had reached its highest point, began to fall, and quickly dimmed, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness again. At this moment, accompanied by the sound of menacing footsteps, a loud shout of killing came from the other side.
