Chapter 267: Investigation
Crescent Lake. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the town of the Night Elves tribe of the Whispering Forest, this small lake is not large, like a crescent moon at night, but it has spread its reputation among the elves of the Whispering Forest.
Aside from the fact that the scenery here is indeed beautiful and the magical elements in the air are very active, the rest of the reason is simply because of the roots of the Night Elves in the Whispering Forest here.
In the three royal courts of the elves, except for the magicians who are not equal to each other, and the wanderers, compared to the warriors of the other two races, who prefer to fight on the frontal battlefield, the Night Elves stand out as their assassins.
These darlings of the darkness do have a unique talent in night attacks and concealment, and the presence of a large number of assassins also makes the night elves faintly have the strongest consensus of the three clans.
And the Night Elves with such strength, even if it was just a small tribe in the Whispering Forest, must have been concerned by the other two elven tribes before.
As for the route to the Night Elf town in the Whispering Forest, where the Crescent Lake is located, the Moon Elves naturally know it.
With more than a dozen Moon Elves leading the way, Duke had already led a brigade of guards to the vicinity of Crescent Lake at this time, and after the elite scouts of the garrison took advantage of the numerical advantage to deal with several Night Elf sentries in the direction they came, all the soldiers hurried to rest under the whispered order.
"Mouse, after half an hour's rest, take your people to the front to reconnoiter the situation in the Night Elf town, mainly to find out the number of their personnel, understand?"
Duke's face was full of seriousness, and he said to a captain beside him who was relatively short, with ordinary facial features, even some ugliness, but only looked shrewd.
"Division Commander, don't worry, I will bring a few clever guys over with me, and I will definitely complete the task!"
The captain of the brigade, known as the mouse, puffed up his chest and gave a standard military salute and said, although his face looked a little funny with the movements at this time, but Duke knew in his heart that the person in front of him was the best guy in the entire division in this regard.
The age of the rat is not very old, perhaps less than twenty, and as for the exact real age, even he does not know.
The mouse, who didn't know who his parents were, had been raised by a thief since he was a child, so the rat naturally inherited the mantle of his adoptive father, and took advantage of his age to indeed spend some time in his town in his early years.
It's just that because his adoptive father missed, he relented a lot.
Because, it was that mistake that his adoptive father was killed, supposedly because he stole from a baron in a neighboring town, and was beaten to death in the street by the baron's guards.
There was no sadness for his adoptive father's dead rat, and the rat, who thought that the property he had stolen was enough to return to all these years, was taken to the Spark Collar by a mysterious person in confusion.
Became a student at the school, and after graduation, the rat mysteriously disappeared for a while before entering the garrison system, and only a few people knew that the rat had gone to a place for training for a while after graduation.
That place is called the Intelligence Division.
And after the rat entered the garrison, it was also a smooth sail, catching up with the opportunity to expand the army, and with his own ability, he climbed to the position of captain in just two years, which made many soldiers who joined the same group with him envious.
While reminiscing about a little bad thing in his past, the mouse leaned against a big tree, quietly closed his eyes and recuperated, waiting for the time to start the reconnaissance mission.
Ten minutes later, the rat, who had accurately calculated the time, stood up and called out to the soldiers who had been called in advance and were resting with their eyes closed, and nodded with a serious face, and the soldiers quickly got up and followed the mouse to Duke.
"Master Ariel, I'm sorry for you~"
When Duke saw the rat coming with someone, he said respectfully to a moon elf wearing a moon-white robe beside him. Even if the elites of these kingdoms were not as fearful of elves as the low-level commoners under the influence of Giggs, the necessary respect was still there in face-to-face contact.
Nodding coldly, the Moon Elf mage took out a few materials from his pocket, and with the whispering spell and the dexterous gestures in his hand, a few magic materials were attached to a light blue luster.
Immediately, these lights shrouded the mice and others, and Duke found that there were no mice and others in front of him, although the body that had been through the secret method for a long time could clearly sense the breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature in front of him, but the eyes could not see.
"Mystic Magic~"
Involuntarily sighed, Duke said to the seemingly empty clearing in front of him, "Go ahead~Hurry up~"
"Yes!"
......
Due to the support of most of the soldiers in the town and a large number of militiamen, the town of the Night Elves is a little deserted, and even the guards on the city walls patrol in the same way as a Night Elf soldier with several militiamen.
And such a guard force, even with the existence of the city wall, is naturally not too difficult for the rats and others who are still carefully hiding their bodies and covering with concealment techniques.
After carefully climbing into the city walls, follow the arrangement on the road. After a few people entered the city wall, they began to act separately, and if someone was exposed, they would desperately send out a signal, sacrificing themselves to let their comrades escape, and they all had this awareness.
After waiting in place for a while, the rat chose a direction and reached for the center of the town.
The Night Elves in the town had no idea that in the face of the attack of the two armies of the elemental elves and the night elves, the human race would actually draw nearly one-third of their troops to deal with them, the civilians of the night elves.
"It's really boring, so many of our compatriots have gone to the Elemental Elves to destroy the human army, and as a result, we have to stay all in the town here, and we are not allowed to go out, it is too boring. ”
"Hehe, who told you that you don't have a hobby, why don't you learn to raise flowers with me?"
"Hmm~Raising flowers?Sounds so boring~"
"Let's go, I'm sure you'll fall in love with the process of raising flowers~"
Hidden in the shadows under the eaves, Duke squinted at the two elven maidens who had gone away, and continued to scout the situation in the town, hoping to get more information in order to benefit the war.
An hour later, the magic time was approaching, and the rats hurried over the walls and hid in the dense woods, waiting for the rest of the soldiers in a predetermined location. (To be continued.) )
