Broad World

Chapter 575 Penetration

Three very good weapons, especially the "Fire Fang" is very suitable for the status of a fighter now, and can make up for the lack of long-range attacks. However, Henry has never practiced throwing knives before, so don't expect too much from the accuracy. He can barely hit the vital point within ten meters, and he can just hit the target within twenty meters, that's all.

He stuffed the dagger, which could automatically return to the user's hand, into his boots, and threw the spear and cane directly into the dimensional bag to hide, and finally closed his eyes and began to rest in peace.

In the city of the dark elves, everything needs to be careful. You must not use magic or magic, and you must not expose too many magic items. At least you must keep it like this until you rescue Allen.

Physical exhaustion caused Henry to fall into a drowsy sleep very quickly. Although he had already entered a state of rest, he did not relax his vigilance. He kept his hands pressed on the handle of the knife. As long as there was a slight sound, he would immediately wake up and launch an attack . In addition, there was a thin long hair hanging on the door, and the other part was connected to a small piece of metal. Once the door was pushed open, it would immediately fall to the ground and make a sound.

In the Underdark, there is no day or night, and each race has its own way of telling time. The deep gnomes use beams of light, the dark elves use magic rings of fire, and the gray dwarves use huge hourglasses. You must know that no matter it is any living thing↓万+书※吧+↓+nsb+m, there is a set of latent biological clocks, and once there is a disorder, they usually cannot live for too long. The flames of the huge stone pillar in the center of Ust Natha city have begun to dim, and in another hour or two, a mage will stand up and cast magic again, starting a new cycle. In other words, it is already between ten o'clock and eleven o'clock on the surface of the earth. It was midnight.

Robert and his dark elf squad led by a vampire girl. Soon move forward to the city gate. He is carefully observing the surrounding situation.

You must know that in the underground, every city has its own fixed residents, and the control of caravans and floating personnel is extremely strict. If you can't come up with a convincing reason, you will definitely be caught as a spy and executed directly. Even Good-aligned deep gnomes are no exception.

As the saying goes, strong fortresses are often breached from within. The terrain that underground cities are usually built on is very dangerous, if you attack directly from the main entrance. Even with an army of one million, it is difficult to get any cheap.

Take Ust Natha City as an example. Just a solid gold gate can block almost all enemies who use physical attacks. As for the inside, it is even more criss-crossed. There are one or two narrow stone roads for passage, and at most two roads and three people are allowed to walk side by side. The most important thing is that the distance between each platform is not too far, completely within the range of crossbow and magic. This also means that even if they invade the city, they will suffer multiple blows from several aspects at the same time. What's more, rushing into the siege of the dark elves with three people side by side is not much different from seeking death, and they will be hacked to death on the spot in minutes.

It is precisely because of such a strict defense system. Therefore, spies played a pivotal role in the war in the Underdark. Usually if two cities go to war, the first thing is to send spies to each other to break into the enemy. On the one hand, it can steal information, and on the other hand, it can cooperate with the outside world.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening, the investigation system naturally came into being. Subterranean dwarves with relatively secretive actions rarely let outsiders enter their gathering places, especially when dealing with dark elves, they almost prefer to kill by mistake and never let them go.

After fleeing Menzoberranzan, Drizzt went to Blingdenstone, but was almost killed as a spy. But he was lucky enough to meet an acquaintance, otherwise there would be no wonderful adventure stories later.

The dark elves, the overlords of the underground, are relatively open. Whether it is gray dwarves, goblins, orcs, or mind flayers, beholders, murlocs, or even demons, as long as they abide by the laws set by the city, they can stay and do business in the city. Business.

But this does not mean that they will not be monitored. The Mage Tower in the southeast of the city will monitor these strange visitors 24 hours a day. As long as there is any abnormal situation, they will be discovered immediately, followed by patrols. Kill everyone without mercy.

Most of the dark elf assassins present understood this truth, so they were very cautious, planning to find a credible reason to sneak in. Most of them would never want to go back to that hellish place if they could. But there is no way, this is a mandatory order, and if you want to keep the comfortable life on the surface, you must obey it.

After more than forty minutes, a black figure quickly sprang out from not far away, and said in a low voice: "Chief, I have already found out that the city of Uster Nazar has been fighting with the surface elves in recent days, and at the same time The surrounding cities sent invitations. This is a good opportunity, I think we can pretend to be mercenaries from a certain city."

"Mercenary? Sounds like a good idea." Robert stroked the goatee on his chin as he spoke.

Obviously, he must not be able to enter the city with his followers. Because this is not the surface, high-level priests will not leave the magnificent temple easily. The mistress of every dark elf nobleman is a high-ranking priestess of Queen Rose, who can easily see whether there is power from other gods in a person's body, which is why it is almost difficult for other gods to penetrate the belief of dark elves.

Of course, those with the priesthood of deception like Cyric, the Prince of Lies, and Shar, the Goddess of the Night, are exceptions. The special domain they have can protect their believers from being exposed to the eyes of others. It is because of this that Viconia has escaped so many pursuits, otherwise she would have died on the way.

However, the continent of Faerun never lacks maverick individuals. There are still a few dark elf cities underground that believe in the dark girl Eilistraee, and there is even a city called Shammas, which is ruled by drow mages. of. But after all, they are very special cases, and their proportion among the more than forty known dark elf cities is really too low.

After thinking about it for a while, Robert turned his head and asked Antleb beside him, "Are you sure you can bring these people into the city unscathed?"

A smile appeared on the latter's handsome face: "Of course, boss. You may not know. For the dark elves, once a certain city launches a large-scale operation on the surface, it means that it is affected by that city. The attention of a goddess. Generally speaking, this kind of action is only allowed to succeed and not to fail, otherwise it means that the entire family will fall out of favor, and it is not impossible to destroy it. At this time, they will not refuse at all Anyone can join, even if it's just a small number of mercenaries."

"Okay, you will take someone to try it in a while. Remember. After entering, you must contact the owner as soon as possible, and then follow his instructions. I don't want any accidents, understand?"

Speaking of this, Robert's expression quickly became extremely stern, and his eyes turned pale gold inadvertently, like two balls of melted gold, exuding endless majesty. This is not only the power of the golden dragon, but also the power of divinity, which made everyone around tremble uncontrollably. He bowed his head humbly.

Antleb didn't dare to meet his boss's eyes, and he slightly bowed his body to promise: "Don't worry. If someone dares to make small moves in private, I will cut open his stomach, pull out his intestines, and then put It was strangled to death."  …

Robert nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! This operation is only allowed to succeed and not to fail. You must know that the master has always wanted to build an underground city, and those who have made great achievements will not be forgotten by then."

Having been the leader for so many years, he knows how to control those rebellious subordinates. Let the other party know the strength of the guild and the consequences of failure first, and then promise benefits. It can be said that although this method is old-fashioned, it has been tried and tested.

"Hey, you know, for Duke Henry, oh, no, I should be called His Majesty the King now. I have always been the most loyal to His Majesty the King, so please reserve a better position when the time comes." After Ante finished speaking Lieb licked his lips greedily.

This guy can be said to be the first dark elf to be reused by Henry. Although he sold his (flesh) body reluctantly, he got quite a lot of benefits. He has been in charge of the dark elf team for nearly ten years. He has carried out countless assassinations, kidnappings, and blackmails. Almost every time he takes action, he can get some benefits. A rather scary number.

I have to say that Antleb is very smart and knows what can be scooped up and what can't be touched, so it can be said that the mix is ​​flourishing. When a person has money, he naturally desires more rights. What he desires most now is to be promoted, and it is best to be an official nobleman conferred by the kingdom.

It may be very difficult for a person to maintain moral integrity, because it requires a lifetime of persistence. If a person wants to degenerate, it only takes one second, one temptation, one indulgence, and one sudden thought.

For a rich man, Antleb had long since become somewhat depraved. He doesn't want to live this kind of bloody life anymore, he wants more rights, social status, and a comfortable and comfortable life. This desire is normal, as long as it is a sane person will have this idea.

Robert obviously saw this, so he made a promise. He is well aware of his master's series of plans. Although the topmost seats must have been booked long ago, it is still no problem to place one or two people.

It can be said that this is a private transaction that both parties are very satisfied with. Antleb can obtain the coveted rights and status through the excellent performance of this operation, and Robert can better cooperate with Henry to complete the rescue operation.

In fact, almost all the successful cooperation cases in this world end under such win-win situation again and again. Unilateral profits cannot last long, and it is easy to cause the lower levels of an organization to become more and more dissatisfied with the upper levels, and eventually fall apart.

Ten minutes later, Antleb led all the dark elf assassins towards the city gate with his yearning for a better life in the future...
