Chapter 171 Undead: Stealth is right

After his NPCs and undead went out of control one after another, Lind had no choice but to take the initiative to at least find out what was going on inside.

Although Dome is not good at fighting, he is deeply trusted by Leon, which even makes Miram unwilling to approach him actively. As Miram said, the "book thief" Dome is a difficult target.

The other party still has a lot of hostages. Those who are not dead can die, but Reed and others cannot. Each one of them is very precious.

As a lord, he never thought of abandoning his subordinates.

When there is mutual trust, the relationship is indestructible enough for both parties to die for it, but when cracks begin to appear in trust, perhaps the relationship between the two parties is more fragile than glass covered with cracks, and it is about to collapse and will scratch themselves.

The team heading towards Soul Valley consisted of hundreds of people.

Lind put on heavy armor, picked up the broken sword, and rode on the equally heavily armed disaster horse.

In the sunlight, the heavy armor reflected the light, making him look like a slowly moving mountain of gold.

Investigation and exploration may also lead to direct conflict, and the best way to deal with conflict is to kill the other party when it occurs.

So the safest thing is still strength, so Lind also brought Lance with him.

After the Grand Knights lost contact for unknown reasons, Lind did not call on ordinary Grand Knights anymore, thinking that someone in a higher position like Lance might be safer.

As the most powerful fighter under Lind's command, Lance is indeed the insurance.

If Lind himself is not careful, he will most likely die from continuous headshots from Lance's ice bow. His flexibility is not as good as Lance who has transformed into a deer man. There is a high probability that he will be killed by kiting in an open area.

This is just an assumption, because Lind does not lack mid-range and long-range means.

At the gate of Star Dragon City, Lind looked at Miss Miko who came uninvited, took off his helmet, stretched out his hand to her and said, "Let's go!"

There was no need to rush back. After all, she was a high-ranking wizard, and Miss Micko was carrying a bulging little bag, which, if I was not mistaken, was filled with various potions.

You can always trust Miss Micko when it comes to stocking up.

Miss Micko grabbed Lind's outstretched hand with satisfaction, followed his upward pull and jumped onto the horse's back, sitting in front of Lind.

Perhaps this is why she likes Lind. There are many things that don't need to be argued about. As long as one party gives an answer, the other party just nods.

She found a comfortable position on the wide horse's back and sat down, leaning against Lind, as if leaning against an automatically heated iron seat. The cold wind blew and hit her face, but it just turned into a gentle cool breeze.

There were two disaster horses, Lind and Miko shared one, and Lance rode one by himself.

The sunlight gradually dimmed, and I followed the sticky cold wind to the Tomorrow Magic School.

Hundreds of disaster horses were hurrying on the road, and the ground was rumbling under their feet.

At the fork in the road, all the undead abandoned their horses and chose to walk, and when they got close to the Tomorrow Magic School, they immediately chose to sneak.

"Hiss" Lance couldn't help but sigh.

He was truly shocked as he watched with his own eyes hundreds of undead people in white robes and hoods disappear in front of his eyes.

Imagine that hundreds of big knights suddenly appear in front of you without you knowing anything.

That kind of scene is enough to make people feel cold all over.

Even if it is the secret pattern messenger who is evaluated by Lind as having the weakest overall combat power, as long as the number increases, all the shortcomings will become less obvious.

He didn't know how strong Dome from Tomorrow Magic School was, but he was definitely not someone who could deal with the sneak attack of hundreds of great knights alone.

Even someone as powerful as Lord Linde himself cannot do it.

Lord Leon, who was not cursed by the abyss, might be able to do it. If he couldn't defeat them, at least he could run away. The strength of the Disaster Executioner was not fully demonstrated until his death, so he should not be trapped in the sea of ​​people and unable to struggle.

However, if you stare at the ground carefully or prick up your ears, you can still detect their traces. No matter how low the footsteps of hundreds of people are, there will always be the sound of raindrops falling on the ground.

If you stare at the ground carefully for a while, you will see a layer of sand and smoke at a height of a palm, close to the ground.

Because of the stealth skill, the dust on the ground was forcibly tied to the ground by the ability of the Secret Pattern Messenger and could not fly up.

Climb up the low hill and arrive at the entrance of the ancient castle on the sea cliff.

"Is there a sea to the northwest of the Kingdom of Rand?" Lind felt that his geographical knowledge must be wrong.

The black sea was boundless, but he remembered that the northwest direction of the Rand Kingdom did not seem to be in direct contact with the sea. Where was that large piece of frozen land?

"Just like the foothills of Red Dragon," Lance said, "there will be more of what's not there, and there will be less of what's not there."

"Crustal movement" Miss Micko yawned and leaned against the warm Linde. The Disaster Horse walked very steadily on the road, swaying so much that she almost fell asleep.

You are a witch who is an idealist. You are actually talking about the movement of the earth's crust. Are you talking about science? Shouldn't it be said that it was a battle between gods and dragons, and a sword or a knife cut off a piece of the northwest corner of the continent?

Lind also had a sense of trance. He and others were just a group of ants. As the ant nest was relocated, they passed by a human chair. Unexpectedly, the chair was suddenly moved by someone, and the resulting scene became a horrible giant that could not be seen in its entirety, and it moved from one place to another inexplicably.

He turned his head and looked towards the castle, also known as the Tomorrow School of Magic.

"This is a new building, built in recent years," Lance said.

"Yeah," Lind nodded, "and it doesn't belong to the architectural style of the Rand Kingdom."

The architectural style of the Kingdom of Rand is gorgeous and huge. This is a country that loves gold and splendor to the core.

But the castle in front of him was too long and thin, especially the tall towers that pointed upward like bamboo shoots, making the whole building look sharp, like a ghost claw with extended fingers.

The castle stands calmly amid the crashing of the sea's rough waves.

"There is magic." Miss Miko jumped off the horse and pointed at the hole in the castle: "The other party is also the Moon Witch."

"effect?"

"It's like a warning. I don't have this kind of magic." Miss Micko shook her head and just made a rough guess.

The door was locked but a hole was left for people to enter, and a non-lethal magic was cast on it. The purpose was easy to guess.

"That's easy." Lind walked to the main gate of the castle with the broken sword in his hand, raised the broken sword with both hands and chopped it down.

The big iron gate was broken open with a loud "bang".

It is likely that you will be discovered if you go through the hole, but what if you go through the main door?

The exposure of Linde alone and the exposure of hundreds of people are two different concepts.

In this invasion, the undead are one of the main forces, and Lind doesn't know how to sneak, so he is bound to be exposed.

Mi Ke obviously thought of this as well: "But you will become a straw target if you do this."

Linde casually stuck the broken sword into the ground and said casually, "That may not be the case."

Miram, who was sneaking nearby, was holding a short blade and watching the scene in front of him.

Her double crossbows now belong to Lind. The short blade in her hand is a white weapon made after Lind lent her the [Broken Sword of the Scavenger Princess] to copy and then performed "secret pattern annotation".

The short blade is not an ideal weapon. Although the stealth ability makes Milam very suitable for close combat, closer distance often means more danger. The attack range is too short and it is easy to force oneself into a desperate situation.

Linde did not refuse to lend her the double crossbows to copy the magic patterns.

But before choosing between the green Broken Sword of the Scavenger Princess and the white Double Crossbows, Miram chose the Broken Sword of the Scavenger Princess without a second thought.

Although the magic pattern weapon copied with her strength still emits white light, it is definitely stronger than the copied double crossbow.

It's fairly sturdy, and a scavenger princess as tall as a calf can be pulled out of the knife.

Looking at Lin De's daring style of splitting the door open with a sword, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Can this still be considered stealth?

Given Duomei's personality, he's probably preparing for a counterattack now.

There were faint noises coming from the front. After entering stealth mode, her senses were enhanced to a certain extent. She knew without thinking that it must be those strange-looking undead creatures taking action.

Miram, who kept his mission in mind, hurried to follow. If hundreds of people attacked Dome together, or even attacked Lord Leon's eight former subordinates at the same time, Miram had strong confidence.

It's already the point where quantity changes quality.

The interior of the castle is even more gloomy than it looks from the outside. Once you enter the castle, it is like a maze made up of long and narrow passages, with one room connected to another. The space is not large and is quite depressing.

"Boom!" A smashing sound came from the front, followed by a burst of swear words mixed with catchphrases.

Milan rushed over quickly and saw four or five undead men wiping the blood off their faces while taking out bottles of potion and pouring them into their mouths.

There were five corpses nearby.

Judging from their attire, they should be residents of Weeping Town.

"What are you doing?" Miram couldn't help but show up: "We have to sneak around and can't let anyone find us!"

After drinking the medicine, the undead man, who had almost recovered, threw the glass bottle aside and said, "Has anyone discovered us now?"

Yes, but you killed him.

"That's right, stealth works like this." After saying that, the undeads entered stealth mode again and disappeared from Miram's sight.

Miram opened her mouth. She felt that these undead were misinterpreting the Lord's meaning. She turned around and looked at the five corpses that were quickly piled in the corner after being killed.

It’s true that I haven’t been exposed, but does it count if I expose myself first and then kill everyone I see?... Never mind, let’s get on with the action.

Soon Milam became numb, as she witnessed how the undead hid their tracks along the way.

In short, kill everyone who sees you. Dead people won't notice they've been invaded.

Sometimes they will even take the initiative to attack even if the other party doesn't notice them.

To use the words of the immortal: "It is better to take precautions before it happens. What if he comes by on patrol after I pass by? Eliminate all factors that may lead to the exposure of stealth."

That was a good point, but Milam felt that if things continued like this, Domei would really find himself and the others.

The smell of blood was not so easy to conceal. Hundreds of people turned into killing machines and "sneaked" in the castle, creating a bloody wind that could not be concealed in the narrow and airtight space.

Milam stopped again because she noticed undead moving ahead.

And further ahead there was a staggering figure.

When the undead actively attacked, his stealth effect disappeared and his figure appeared completely in front of Miram.

As an "Assassin", he carries a large sword.

He had successfully reached behind the man who was wandering aimlessly, but because of his sudden appearance and the heavy weight of the sword he was carrying, the man's footsteps, which were no longer supported, suddenly made a "pop" sound, which was very harsh.

He took the initiative.

With a fierce blow, he cut the opponent in half. After simply dealing with the corpse on the ground, the undead disappeared in stealth.

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground that had not been cleaned up at all, Miram fell into deep thought.

Is this the style of the Secret Rune Messenger? At this moment, Milam felt that he might not have fully understood the application of his abilities.

Use the most ferocious weapon, sneak up behind the opponent, and then kill him with one blow.

But there is a small problem. The undead don’t have to consider life and death, but they only have one life, so this is a fighting style that is only suitable for the undead.

　I didn't stay up all night last night. I was so sleepy.
