Volume IV Reign of Chaos 264 Difficult Mission
I don't know how the Lich King knew about this, and Arthas didn't tell me.
That's when he asked me to contact Illidan...... Honestly...... I was surprised. With my level of intelligence, I couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.
Guess what he wants me to do?
Ha! Arthas wanted to see him.
I had the same expression as you do now. Hum...... Isn't that? How can it be? I pointed out at the time that it was impossible.
But Arthas only asked me, yes, or no, he could complete the task.
The way I looked at him was really...... I do wonder if he's having a brain problem. But I nodded.
Because the only thing I feel at this time is ...... Did he want me to die?
Ah, that's not a ...... at all. Unusual.
Hmph, there is no war between the two countries that will not be killed, and it is very likely that I will not return this trip.
Although I agreed, he still noticed the way I looked at him, so he added a sentence and said...... If you want to end the war and defeat the Burning Legion again, you have to make a choice, and you're referring to Illidan.
But I don't think it's very attractive to say that. But Arthas firmly said he would agree.
I've been beating the drums in my heart, and that's what it is...... Joke. How can this be attractive! Do you want to end the war sooner...... I don't think of Alsace as having this kind of fraternity.
But I didn't have a chance to argue anything with him at this point. After he said that, he turned around and walked away, leaving one of them still in a daze.
I had to complete this task again, and I had to survive, and I've been thinking about what to do since I left them. It's 100 percent not okay to go straight to him.
As I approached their camp, I spotted the hidden sentry posts around. I'm pretty confident that I'll kill a few sentries at my level, especially the one lurking alone. But! It's not a small problem to lure Illidan out.
I hid in the big tree and thought about it for a while, one was slow kung fu. When I see the sentinels who are exposed to my eyes, but I guess they think they are well hidden, I always feel the urge to wipe their necks. However, this method may not be able to fish out Illidan alone in a short period of time, after all, I feel that this kind of person may be the one who will lead the team once it is reactivated. Of course, the idea was wrong, he wasn't.
Another idea is to set a fire on them and blow them out, and it's a truth that you can fish in troubled waters. Ha, I'm still more inclined to the second approach. Well...... I don't know why.
But to be on the safe side, I pulled out their sentries one by one. In fact, this is not a simple matter, many people think that assassination is simple, but it is really not simple at all, especially elves.
Although the elves are generally much taller than us humans, and the most common ones are thirty or forty centimeters taller, their ears are much more sensitive than ours, as I have known in previous battles. Moreover, the skin of these sentry creatures is darker than that of ordinary elves, and the forest they live in does not have enough sunlight at all, and the towering trees that shade the sky and the sun make the whole forest not have so much sunlight, especially at night. Therefore, the skin that is originally a light blue or purple is more suitable for concealment.
And the darker the skin on the sentinel's body, the better. That's not the point, the point is that they seem to have a special skill that always allows themselves to blend in with their surroundings inexplicably.
They had suffered a lot of this in the Azhara region before, and the lich's magic could not detect their location. Only by the eyes, ears, nose and ...... Feelings, and of course, experience.
These guys were not easy to spot, and they could hear some subtle sounds, and besides, it wasn't on the hard floor, it was ...... In a forest with grass and fallen leaves.
But I have a way.
One of them is my bow and arrow.
There's something that's ...... Strange, called intuition. It's too mysterious to explain what it is. But its greatest advantage is that it can detect dangerous information that the eyes and ears are not aware of. It's a very special ability, and I happen to have it, as I said earlier.
This ability has helped me a lot, not only can I get a rough sense of where someone might be hiding around me, but I can also tell which one is better.
No, it's not just an experience, after all, it's too dark in the forest. You don't often walk in the dark, you don't know, it's very difficult for ordinary scouts to get information in that forest. And I first perceive them, and then I find a suitable angle to hunt them.
It's a hunt, not a culling.
This has to say that the second skill I have after drinking the blood of Manolos is that my eyes are much better. It's red, but I can see what is in the dark. Of course, the colors seen are slightly different.
The best thing about my bow is that it has a lot of power, and generally speaking, the arrow does not fall at a distance of 20 meters, and I will definitely be able to shoot wherever I aimed.
So generally speaking, after my arrow hit their neck, most of them just fell down, and none of them could turn around and resist, at most they wanted to turn around and see what was going on.
The elves' bows were better than mine, so after shooting them and examining the corpses, I chose their bows. Of course, their bows are not the same, and some soldiers' or ranger generals' bows are better.
I didn't do anything else that night but clean up the sentinels. As a result, it felt like the sentries hadn't been cleaned up when it was about to dawn. Originally, I wanted to walk around their camp to see if I could make any more noise, but I couldn't do anything at this point.
But I got closer to the camp, and they didn't have as many barriers around us, so I could easily see what it was like up close. But they were in a circle of tents, and I couldn't see it very clearly.
Then it was getting light, and I withdrew. I was going to wait and see what happened before deciding on tonight's action, but to my surprise, the sentries came out to change the guard just as it was dawn. When I saw the soldiers coming out of the camp, I thought to myself that this might be the case, and sure enough, the soldiers who had changed the guard immediately ran back, and they did not dare to blow the whistle at that time.
As soon as I saw that this had been discovered, I hurried out. It didn't take long for the whole camp to blow up, and all of them were dispatched! And the green-eyed guy was very easy for me to recognize.
Dozens of meters away, I remembered the bow and arrow hanging behind me, but this distance could not expose myself, but it was not okay to stay like this. So I slid down the tree and trampled on some branches and plants.
I left unhurriedly and laid out some disorienting traces along the way. I want to guess who found me in the end.
I lurked in a large tree by a small river, but to my disappointment, it wasn't Illidan who was chasing, but a team of seven.
I shot them as a matter of course.
It's not difficult, I'm in the tree they're under the tree, I'm in the dark they're in the light, I'm the first to strike! And I'm still relatively accurate in archery. By the time they noticed me, two people had been pierced through the neck, and one had been shot in the back.
Solve two and a half in an instant! Then I shot another one.
Ha! Do you know what it means to be an army of one? At that time, I could really say that it wasn't too difficult to face a team like them. Of course, if it's twenty or thirty people, I can't do it.
The remaining three were sent to the road with great ease, and I didn't wipe his neck with an arrow in his back, but just pulled the arrow off his back, and I knew he wasn't dead.
I hid in the distance and watched as he struggled to get up from the ground, and then burrowed into the woods and fled. But I didn't run away, I chose a place where it was easier to attack and retreat, and I guessed that Illidan must be among the people who would come to collect the body.
Ha! You guessed it, I bet right, and he came! But he didn't bring many people, plus he only had eight people.
This is not to collect the body, but to see the situation.
Illidan was visibly more alert than the dead ones, and he kept looking around, wondering if it was the one who had escaped who told him how they had been attacked. So the place I chose again was not on the tree, but on a bush, and there was a big rock behind the bush, and not far from the big stone was a big tree that was crooked, and then there was the river, which was more than ten meters wide and more than one meter deep.
What I calculated at the time was that if there were many people, I would sneak away, and if there were few people, I would kill them, and I would not suffer as long as he was concerned. But now the situation is that there are seven more people in Gata. I don't know exactly what happened to those seven people, but it should be similar to just now, but Illidan alone topped several of them, which is more tricky.
But I didn't have much time to think about it, and I had to make a choice right away, so I opened my bow again. This group of guys was better than the last time, I only shot one, shot and wounded one, and they immediately moved to hide. And the look Illidan looked at me is still fresh in my memory.
What does that feel like...... It's just a chilling feeling. The man's voice was not good, it was not deep or heavy, it was uncomfortable to listen to anyway. The woman named Tyrande didn't like him, and I guess there was a reason for that. And when he stares at people, because he can't see the eyeballs, he feels like a beast like a tiger looking at people, which is very ...... Fierce.
Ha, he must not be friendly to me either.
At that time, we were fighting, and he hadn't mutated at that time, but he didn't have that kind of ...... in his head Horns, the body doesn't change much, and it's still the kind that wears clothes. But I really saw his weapons.
Very peculiar!
It has to be peculiar. It is said to be a demonic weapon, who knows.
Those two are not swords, nor can they be called swords. The hand is held in the middle, with blades on both sides. That's it...... Look. Because both sides are cut on both sides, the length of the blade is not long. It's about 50 centimeters.
This strange look for the average person, this length is already difficult to use. But it doesn't matter if he's big, but there's one thing...... The length of his weapons determines how he fights!
It's hand-to-hand combat.
This makes me very uncomfortable. Generally speaking, I take the initiative to approach and use my rhythm to carry the opponent, either dragging down or ...... Kill it directly. But he was already big, and he was so big that he was forced to fight me, and the guys next to him were even more annoying.
I probably had to fold there, and I don't know Elvish either!
But when Illidan spat a word out of his mouth and unleashed a skill on me, I not only lived, but completed the mission.
What he said was "shukil! ”
It means "destroy"! But that's not Elven language...... It's devil's language!
