Chapter 259 Infiltrate, but there are 400 people
Renzo is a very calm person. As a follower of the Lord of Madness, he has always maintained his rationality and has never been affected.
Blood-red flames burned in his body, and the pain continued to torture him, but he never let the flames distort his will.
He is a very rational person, but because he is too rational, he has no pursuit for the future, so Renzo regards the will of his dead relatives as his own will.
When Renzo first met Lind, he found that he was very similar to the nobles he had imagined, and after confirming that Lind was a noble, he immediately swore allegiance. Lind never asked him to be loyal, and even allowed him to leave at any time when he needed.
Lind's Star Dragon Outpost is not big and not very powerful, but it has a group of weird undead.
They lived like this for a while. Linde's power was expanding rapidly, and the number of undead people was increasing, to a level that even Renzo himself could not understand.
The most incomprehensible thing is that I am so popular.
He knew that he was ugly, and although he would not feel inferior because of it, he would definitely not be proud of it. However, in Lind's words, his existence was irreplaceable.
Facts have proved that Renzo is indeed the most popular, but Renzo slowly learns from the undead that it turns out that he looks similar to an evil person in the undead's hometown.
There are people who actually like evil people and say it openly. Renzo doesn't understand them, but he knows that he has indeed helped the lord complete many tasks.
This time, Linde found Renzo again and asked him to complete a task. Renzo certainly did not refuse, as he was used to doing things according to Linde's instructions.
It's just that the role that Renzo is going to play this time makes him feel a little resistant from the bottom of his heart.
A greedy man with some evil thoughts who tried to disobey the lord's orders.
Judging people by appearance? That's what we want.
If you don't betray the rules when you look like this, people will look down on you.
"Lord Renzo, we want to know what happened here and why the Lord said not to go to the Snake Catcher's Fortress."
"I don't understand either." Renzo paced back and forth: "But everything should be related to the snake man outpost."
"Snake sentry?"
"Yes."
Renzo stopped and looked in the direction of the Snake Catcher's Fortress. He said, "More than a year ago, the Lord tried to pass through the Snake Catcher's Fortress and return to Goliath. He had a good chat with the Son of Ronan. But someone used conspiracy and trickery to provoke a war. The crazy Son of Ronan ambushed the Lord, and we suffered heavy casualties in that battle."
"Then?"
There was not even a CG for a war between a lord and 10 bosses. It can only be heard from the NPCs, which is a pity.
"Alex's anger burned the snakeman outpost, and the foolish snake catcher paid the price for it. Afterwards, the lord rode his dragon to the snake catcher's fortress. No war was started, and nothing happened. However, from that day on, no one was allowed to go to the fortress. I guess it might be related to Baron Ronan."
BOSS!
The undead share the same brain. When they see a castle, they know there is a BOSS inside. When they see a corner, they know there is something squatting next to it. When they see a high place, they want to climb up.
"But how did the Lord get to the central area?" the undead people wondered.
It just so happened that Renzo asked Lind the same question.
……
He remembered asking Lind, "Sir, why are you so sure that the undead will choose to go through the snake catcher's fortress? They can also use the volcanic bird to fly over, just like the soldiers used this method to build the bridge."
"I'm glad you started asking me some questions, Renzo. I remember you used to be very quiet." Linde was not angry at all because his orders were questioned. On the contrary, he was happy that Renzo chose to ask questions actively.
Renzo just kept silent about this. He did have some changes, but he was not yet active enough to have a casual chat with the Lord.
Lind said: "Because I won't let the volcano bird fly over."
All the volcano birds were tamed by the Lost Soul Knights, and all the Lost Soul Knights were loyal to Lind. When Lind set a boundary that could not be crossed, all the volcano birds could not fly over it. "How should I explain this?"
"Why do you need to explain?" Lind said, "They will find a reasonable explanation themselves."
……
The scene returns to the present. Listening to the undead's question, Renzo said, "Of course I flew over there. Can't you guys do that?"
The undead are silent.
Yes, we have air walls.
So, we can't.
Looking at the silent undead, Renzo also fell silent. He simply didn't talk much.
"But we can't get close, so how can we get close to the Snake Catcher's Fortress?" asked the undead.
Renzo explained: "The Snake Catchers' Fortress has strengthened its defenses over the past year. They are also afraid of the Lord."
What he said was basically true. In fact, most people didn't know what was in the Snake Catcher's Fortress. They just followed Lind's orders and knew that they must not approach the fortress casually.
Even Renzo learned many things for the first time when he chatted with Lind.
"But I found a way," Renzo said, "You can sneak in there, but you only have one chance. The snake catchers' soldiers are very sharp. There are thousands of them. If you are discovered this time, you will never have another chance to break in."
The undead man asked, "If we fail to infiltrate, we will be discovered? Does that mean that as long as we are not discovered, it will be fine?"
Renzo was silent. This was the truth, but he always felt like something was wrong.
……
They had made sufficient preparations to guard against Lind's attack. That day, Lind came riding a dragon. Although the conversation between the two sides was relatively harmonious, the entire fortress went into action after Lind left, setting up more than ten times the number of long-range large weapons, with the goal of defending against the dragon's attack.
A year has passed, and Lind seems to have completely abided by the original agreement and has never shown up again.
Patrols also gradually became slack.
So it is not too difficult to find a few good locations to sneak into.
The Snake Catcher's Fortress is embedded in a broad mountain peak, with turbulent water and deep cliffs below. The howling sound of the strong wind blowing from below reminds people that if they misstep and fall, they will die.
It is not appropriate for the Calamity Warhorse and the Volcano Bird to be nearby, as the soldiers of the Snake Catcher Fortress are very sharp and can spot them.
The high gray wall was like a cliff. Standing at the foot of the wall and looking up, the wall was connected to the sky, and I seemed to have become an ant.
The fortress city is well-equipped with defensive equipment, including arrow towers, catapults, crossbow beds, etc., which are like the fangs of giant beasts, showing off their power in rows.
The fact that it was able to forcibly divide the north and the south with its powerful defensive force within three or four years, and that neither the new nor the old nobles nor other forces were willing to invade, was enough to show how terrifying this place was.
The undeads went around in circles for several times before finally finding a so-called "weak point", where one careless step could lead to death.
My ring won't lose. I turned around and looked behind me, and it was pitch black.
Old players from the 1.0 era, as well as some newbies who upgrade very quickly.
After all, the information they got from Renzo was that there were about a thousand red-named monsters in the fortress, and a conservative estimate was that there was at least one top BOSS that could scare away the lord riding a dragon.
This battle is not something that a few people can withstand.
But what if there are more than 400 people?
