Chapter 142: Rescue Operation (Chapter 4 Subscription Requested)

As the time entered the second half of the night, around three o'clock in the morning, the entire monster camp had fallen silent.

Especially the half-orcs, who have no sense of responsibility and discipline in the first place, are basically either groggy or napping with their eyes closed.

As for the custody of the captives......

I'm sorry!

They didn't think that humans who had been doing heavy physical labor all day and hadn't eaten much were capable of escaping from a camp full of monsters.

What's more, the half-orcs still have half human blood.

When dealing with humans, dwarves, halflings, and gnomes, no matter how bad their attitude is, they will not be treated as food.

This is also the reason why orcs were placed to guard and manage the captives.

If you replace them with gnolls, ogres, and trolls, I'm afraid it won't take a few days to throw all the captives into the pot and cook them.

Orcs are slightly better, and although they don't eat people, the men will unceremoniously brutalize the women in captivity, forcing them to become pregnant and leave half-breed offspring.

As for the snake people and the lizardmen, they would be more than happy to sacrifice these captives to their gods first.

To sum up, in fact, the captives are relatively safe to stay under the care of the orcs.

But if you run out, it won't be necessarily.

But the orcs didn't notice it, and while they were sleeping and napping, an owl silently swept over the camp and circled in a great circle.

Immediately after that, she turned around and landed on the shoulders of a female half-elf in the woods, tilting her head and making a cooing sound.

You don't need to ask to know that this female half-elf is none other than Jahira, who has just been rescued.

Through the druid's special ability to understand animals, she quickly learned a lot of useful information from the owl's mouth, and then turned to the other two and said in a low voice, "There are about 2,000 captives in the camp.

There were about two hundred orcs guarding them, and a few very alert and cunning wolves.

If we want to save someone, we must first get rid of the wolf and the few sentinels guarding the doorway.

The whole rescue process had to be very fast and not too loud.

Otherwise, if you alarm the other monsters around you, it will turn into a terrible disaster. ”

"Don't worry! Just leave this kind of thing to me. ”

Zuo Si pulled up his hood to cover his face, and then tapped his [Invisibility Staff] on himself.

Next Second......

He disappeared into thin air.

If it weren't for the fact that the footprints on the ground could still be faintly seen fading away, I'm afraid no one would have noticed that there was a big living person hiding here.

Seeing Zuo Si disappear into the darkness, Jahira immediately asked in a tone that was not very sure, "What do you think he will do with those wolves and orcs?" ”

"No...... No...... I don't know. But I don't think he looks like a human boy about ten years old at all. Khalid, who stuttered, stammered in reply.

"Indeed! He looks much more mature than he looks. Plus the name is also called Soth, if nothing else, it should be the person we are looking for. Jahira narrowed her eyes and analyzed. …

She didn't have to ask to know that she had already recognized Zuo Si's identity.

After all, with black hair and black eyes, an Oriental face, and the time, place, and name all match perfectly, if you can't tell the difference, you don't need to be a harpist.

"You...... Do you think the box is really in his hands? Khalid asked cautiously.

Jahira shook her head slightly, "I'm not sure. But judging by his performance tonight, he shouldn't be an evil person. Maybe we can wait until we've rescued the captives and then find an opportunity to ask them in person. ”

"Ahh......h The stronghold of Port Carlin was destroyed too quickly. Not...... Otherwise, we would have known what was in that box by now. ”

There was a hint of sadness in Khalid's tone and eyes.

Because among the dead harpists, there were quite a few people who were his friends.

"Whatever was in that box, we had to make sure it didn't get it to the people of the Shirek church. Whether it's for those dead companions, or to stop the expansion of evil. Jahira said categorically.

Just when Kalid was about to say something, Zuo Si suddenly lifted his stealth state and appeared in front of the two, pointing to the camp behind him and said in a relaxed tone: "It's all done!" You can now go in and organize the captives to escape. ”

"What...... What! Nailed it? ”

Jahira had an incredulous look on her face.

She really couldn't imagine how this "little bit" in front of her could quietly kill so many wolves and sentinels in just a few minutes.

You must know that even Am's top Shadow Thief Assassin is far from being able to kill with such efficiency.

"That's right! It's all done. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself. ”

With that, Zuo Si made a gesture of please.

At his "gracious invitation," Jahira and Khalid approached the camp in disbelief.

After a while, they saw a half-orc and a wolf lying on the ground, as if they were asleep, and they did not react even if they were kicked.

But Jahira, who is a druid, is keenly aware that these enemies are not sleeping dead, but really dead.

There is a dark and cold negative energy emanating from the body.

Moment!

The thought came to her head that "these creatures must have died from necromantic magic."

After all, apart from necromancy, other spells simply can't kill so many targets at once in a short period of time, and they also leave traces of negative energy in the opponent's body.

"You...... How did you do that? ”

Kalide, who didn't have too many eyes, asked directly, and at the same time, his eyes no longer showed the slightest suspicion and contempt when he looked at Zuo Si.

Because in the Faeron Continent, whether it is young or old, righteous or evil, as long as you have great power, you should be respected.

In this regard, see how the Lord of Waterdeep and the Chosen Elect of the Goddess of Magic deal with the mad mage Hylaster Blackrobe who is constantly digging labyrinths beneath Waterdeep, summoning and imprisoning all sorts of dangerous and murderous monsters and otherworldly creatures, and causing more than one havoc. …

Instead of shouting and killing this crazy legendary mage of the evil camp.

On the contrary, after a big mess, send a team to rescue the "culprits" who were captured or trapped.

So in Faerun, as long as your strength is strong enough, you can really do whatever you want.

Zuo Si undoubtedly noticed the change in the attitude of the two, and immediately said with a smile: "I have some experience in summoning and manipulating ghost creatures. The corpses you see were all touched by a large number of shadow creatures in an instant, and they couldn't withstand the erosion of negative energy and finally died. ”

"No wonder!"

Jahira understood in an instant.

If it were normal, she would definitely be tempted to preach.

After all, shadow creatures, like all kinds of monsters, are unnatural in the eyes of the druids and must be destroyed.

But now, knowing that saving lives is like fighting fires, she walked into the camp where a large number of human captives were being held, and woke up the sleeping people one by one.

Half an hour later, more than 2,000 people woke up from their slumber and ran hand in hand in the direction of the gate of Myratma.

Among them, the warriors and militiamen picked up the weapons and armor in the hands of the orcs, and consciously took on the responsibility of protecting the civilians.

Although they had been very careful not to make any noise, they were eventually discovered by several goblins who got up in the middle of the night to pee because of the large number of people.

Immediately after, a shrill scream and shouting accompanied the commotion, and the other sleeping monsters also woke up...... .
