Chapter Seventy-Six: Sneaking into the Night with the Wind
Before dinner, the sky over Cape Rambet was covered with snow, and as midnight came, the air became drier and colder, and the snow slowly turned into a bewitching snow, which made it difficult for the guards to see farther, but also made it even more difficult for the sneak attackers to hide their footprints.

"Look at the footprints behind you, your life as an envoy is too bad, it seems that the god who sent you doesn't like you very much!" The demon dragon Achilles seized another opportunity to taunt Liang Ke.
"Shut up, you idiot, you won't survive if I die. Do your job!"
"Cut! Nervous what! How can these stupid orcs discover the 'nothingness' of the great master of dark magic, Lord Achilles? ”
"I'm really a little suspicious of what you said, I just walked in in a daze, those soldiers really can't see me?"
"Soldiers must not be able to see us, in fact, the principle of 'nothingness' is very simple, that is, to use magic to create an illusion that is the same as the scenery around you, and hide you behind the illusion, the difficulty is that I need to use magic to continue to maintain the constant change of this illusion, so don't go too fast. Of course, if there is a magic god with a higher magic power than me who uses the 'True Eye', then your figure can still be seen through. ”
Liang Ke was frightened into a cold sweat after hearing this, and said angrily: "Then how can you sneak in, in case they are discovered by their mage inside the barracks, how can we kill them?"
"You magic idiot, 'God of Law!' Do you think it's the piece of rye bread you ate at night? Judging from the current level of magic on your continent, I'm afraid there is not a single God of Law. If this can also make you meet one, it can only mean that the god behind you must be the 'god of decline'. Achilles almost roared and finished this sentence to Liang Ke, who felt that if Achilles was not an egg, then he would probably have been drowned in the terrifying saliva of the demon dragon by now.
"That's good! That's good! If only there wasn't any danger. "Liang Ke has long been accustomed to the contempt of the demon dragon, it doesn't matter if he has more or less, he only cares about his own life and death.
Liang Ke held a tactical knife in his hand and cautiously approached the orc camp. He walked very slowly, with each step he tomped slowly, trying to avoid making a sound from stepping on solid snow, and also avoiding possible pitfalls. There was no light in the dark night sky, which made Liang Ke's heart feel much less uneasy, but when he passed by those terrifying orc patrols with torches and axes, he still felt his heartbeat accelerate sharply, and he had to stop several times, hiding in a dark corner and slowly adjusting his breathing to calm himself.
Liang Ke had walked for nearly two hours from the pits that had avoided the camp gate, but when he looked back, he could still see the tall bear warriors at the gate of the orc camp through the campfire, as well as the sentries on the arrow tower. Liang Ke calmed down his uneasy mood again, and after confirming that he had adjusted his state, he slowly touched a cowhide military tent in front of him on tiptoe. Because the orcs are not good at weaving, so the clothes and utensils they wear are mainly animal skins, silk cloths, only those high-ranking generals and royals are qualified to wear, and the orcs' military tents are also made of unripe animal skins, the advantages of this kind of military tents are warm, moisture-proof, and the defense is amazing, and the disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, the material is heavy, the transportation cost is high, the leather tent is stuffy and not breathable, and it is easy to be ignited by open flames. Liang Ke didn't have much research on the military rank setting of the orcs, but the big tent in front of him would never be a low-level soldier's military tent in terms of volume or quality of materials, and if you want to find out valuable information, it is undoubtedly more useful to capture one officer than to catch ten soldiers.
Liang Ke tiptoed to the front of the tent, squatted down and looked back, making sure that the sentry in the distance did not notice his footprints, so he slowly inserted the tactical knife in his hand from the crack in the door, and then gently lifted it upward, opening the semi-circular iron bolt inside, he held the blade of the tactical knife outward in his mouth, slowly lifted the heavy cowhide tent door with both hands, embedded a narrow slit, twisted his body and flashed in, and then quietly closed the tent door tightly, the whole process was like smoke, without making a sound.
When he entered the tent, he quickly lay down on the ground, arching like a cheetah, and quietly listened to the movement in the tent. He could hear a faint snoring sound, and there was an unpleasant smell everywhere in the air, Liang Ke closed his breath and listened for a while, confirming that the snoring sound was steady and long, not like a disguise of fake sleep, so he picked the knife in his hand, lowered his waist and touched the bed, slowly got up, and pressed the knife towards the snoring sound little by little.
"Are you ready?" Liang Ke confirmed to the demon dragon Achilles again.
"Long-winded, don't worry! Now you can't hear any loud noise. Achilles replied impatiently.
Liang Ke did not hesitate to press the snoring sound after receiving the affirmative reply from the demon dragon, first pressed his left knee on the man's exposed arm, and the person on the bed was instantly awakened by the pain from his arm, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a cold chill coming from under his neck, followed by the pain of the blade cutting the flesh, and he subconsciously put his head back on the pillow.
"Don't move, if you move again, I'll cut off your head. Liang Ke raised his left hand and slapped the orc head under him. With his perverted strength, even a slight pat made the orcs under him scream in pain.
"Shut up! it's useless to scream louder, I've already set up a magical barrier here. Answer my question obediently, otherwise, I will use this knife to cut you into small pieces and feed your mount. ”
This unlucky orc heard Liang Ke's threat and was really much more honest, turned over very cooperatively, and was tied up by Liang Ke on the bed. Liang Ke lifted the orc and put him on the edge of the bed, and then took out the fire sickle, lit the oil lamp in the tent, and interrogated the captive carefully.
Through the dim light, Liang Ke finally saw the appearance of this guy clearly, this guy looked really miserable, with small eyes, a protruding nose, a long mouth, a blue and purple face, and mucus was flowing out of his mouth, exuding an unpleasant smell. The thought of being pressed on such an ugly and disgusting creature just now, Liang Ke's stomach churned, and he almost vomited all the rye bread he ate at night, he pinched his nose and took a few deep breaths, which suppressed the discomfort in his stomach and intestines.
"What's your name?" Liang Ke rested his ass on the improvised table covered in animal skins, and slapped the orc's long mouth a few times with the blade of his knife.
"Hmph, despicable humans, know sneak attacks and tricks, don't expect any information from the mouth of the noble monitor lizard warrior 'Petty'. The long-billed beast spewed a foul breath to express its anger, but the orc's big nerves seemed ridiculous and cute.
Liang Ke was almost amused by the answer of this guy named Petty, and he forced himself to continue asking, "Petty, now tell me your rank and position. ”
"Hmm, how do you know my name? Damn human, as an award-winning squadron leader of the Lizard Knights, how could I give in to you, you might as well kill me!"
Liang Ke felt so happy now, this lizardman was simply an imbecile, and in his head, there was almost no concept of secrets. In fact, Liang Ke is indeed lucky, the status of the lizardmen among the orcs has not been high, but they are still strong, the main reason is that they have a small brain and a low IQ, but they are born with a good communication with their close relatives of the orcs, the "earth monitor lizard", so that they can play a huge role on the battlefield. If Liang Ke had captured a fox clan who was known for his cunning tonight, his interrogation would not have gone so smoothly.
"Captain Petty, a junior officer like you must not know why you cut down those logs and collect those ice blocks. Liang Ke leaned over and stared into the lizardman's eyes, pretending to be contemptuous.
"Nonsense, I'm a high-ranking officer among the monitor lizard knights, and I attend every military meeting. The lizardman opened his mouth wide and angrily distinguished, as if Liang Ke's contempt had made him feel greatly insulted.
"Oh, have you learned to make trebuchets, do you want to imitate trebuchets to siege the city?" Liang Ke has now gradually mastered the method and rhythm of tricking Petty from the lizardman, and unhurriedly lures Petty to tell all the information he knows.
"Hmph! Only you fools build those useless wooden shelves, how can the wisdom of the orcs be compared to you. The lizardman grinned wide, rolled his wrinkled eyelids and mocked Liang Ke's "stupidity".
Liang Ke smiled secretly in his heart, but his face looked impatient.
"After talking nonsense for a long time, don't you little officer know the purpose of those woods?"
The lizardman stared at him with small eyes, and argued with a stiff neck: "Who said I don't know, our King Wolf is building a great ship, and when the big ship is ready, we will fill it with stones, and then we will scuttle the ship to block the river, and when the time comes, we will lead all the ice water from the Fallen God Mountains to Cape Rambet, and drown you customers humans." ”
Liang Ke was frightened when he heard the news at first glance, flooding and fire attacks have always been a clever plan to siege the city, and they have been tried and tested many times since ancient times, and the commander of the orcs can come up with this kind of desperate plan, and it seems that he is also a surprisingly powerful character with soldiers. Liang Ke froze, thought about it carefully, and felt that it was wrong. Cape Rambet is located on the edge of the Luoshen Mountains, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south, the difference between north and south is more than 30 meters, and the south of Cape Rambet is the open Biazo Great Plain, with this kind of terrain it is impossible to implement the flood plan, no matter how much water has to flow down the city wall to the Biazol Great Plain, it is a joke to expect the water flowing from the gap in the city gate to flood the city. However, the lizardman did not seem to be telling a lie.
"Don't think about it, he's telling the truth. At least that's what he knew, and I could feel his soul fluctuating. Just as Liang Ke was meditating, the demon dragon Achilles spoke.
"Awesome! You still have the function of a lie detector!"
"It's best not to talk nonsense in front of me, I understand the meaning of the words you say, and it's good for you to have a good relationship with me. Achilles, the demon dragon, had a flat voice, and the threat was implied in it.
Liang Ke smiled, and pleaded with a dead face: "Don't be so stingy, Lord Achilles, the demon dragon, is the most powerful, this is a recognized fact in the whole continent." Then you see, do you want to use a small trick to read the memory of this silly lizard directly, so that I don't scare and lure here, trouble!"
"Ahh Don't bother me if it's okay, the mana consumption was a bit too much just now, and now I'm a little sleepy. After the dragon finished speaking, he was silent, probably going to sleep.
Liang Ke thought to himself: "No, no, no, what to say, noble and despicable." Although he was not angry in his heart, he could not speak, shook his head and began to interrogate the silly lizard again.
"Are you trying to fill the ship with that ice and sink it?"
The lizardman was stunned for a moment, then laughed with his mouth wide open.
"You stupid human being, the ice will float and slowly melt when you put it in the water, how can you hold down the ship? You don't understand such a simple truth, you are such a stupid person, hahahaha!"
Liang Ke was so depressed in his heart, he was actually ridiculed by a mentally handicapped orc for his IQ, he raised his hand and slapped the lizardman with the blade of the knife more than a dozen times, "crackling" the lizardman's teeth fell to the ground, which relieved the hatred in his heart. Liang Ke wiped the blood stains on the knife with the orc's leather robe, and asked viciously: "Say, what are those ice cubes used for, if you are not honest, I will cut your head." ”
"Phew!" the lizardman spat out the blood from his mouth, glared at Liang Ke angrily, and replied with a loud roar, "Stupid, you want to know, I didn't tell you that the ice was used to cool down." ”
Liang Ke frowned and said, "Nonsense, of course ice is used to cool down, but now that the weather is cold, do you still need to use ice cubes to keep food fresh?"
"Hmph! Only you noble lords who are greedy for pleasure would do this, and we use ice cubes to ...... Despicable human, why should I tell you?" the lizardman had learned to behave and swallowed back the words to his lips.
Liang Ke had a wicked smile on his face, and the old trick was repeated.
"Hehe! I don't think you, a low-level petty official, will know this kind of core secret. ”
"Fart! Petty is going to attend the military meeting. If it weren't for the blue marlin people from the Ice Sea who had to live in icy water, you would think we would have had nothing to do and go to the Lake of Tears to get ice. ”
