The knight in the abyss

Chapter 334 Demon Fortress
At the moment when the shadows enveloped the tower where everyone was, Lancelot stood up abruptly, grabbed the arms of Brutal and Axiian with both hands, and said in a deep voice:

"gone!"

Everyone felt that the shadows around them suddenly became darker, and when they looked again, Lancelot and the three of them had disappeared in place.Karaline froze for a moment, and quickly ran to the window, just in time to see the three of them coming out of the shadows by the street below.

Pedestrians on the road didn't notice anything unusual at all. Lancelot raised his face, nodded to Kara Lin by the window, and pulled Brutal and Axian who were still in a daze, and walked away in the direction outside the city. up.

Karaline shook his head, and whispered two words:

"Outrageous."

It was Lancelot who activated the shadow jumping ability he had snatched from the Dark Weaver.This skill has many restrictions, such as the need for continuous shadows, and the daily upper limit of jumping distance, which is much worse than the teleportation ability that high-level demons can use at will.But this ability does not have the bright aura and very obvious spatial fluctuations when teleportation is activated, so it has very good tactical value in stealth and infiltration.

As Lancelot walked, he turned his spiritual sense to the maximum, avoiding any prying eyes around him.Not long after, the three of them walked out of the dense forest made up of twisted towers in the Gorgon Dicolia, and the fortress they wanted to observe was less than a mile away, like a dragon, entrenched on the small hill to the northeast.

A winding mountain road leads to the fortress, but unlike the city, there are demon patrols on that road, as well as teams transporting recruits and supplies to and fro, so it is obviously not a good idea to observe the fortress through that road. good idea.

"Let's go up from there." Brutal observed the mountain, and pointed to a higher and steeper mountain next to it. "From there, we should be able to observe the layout of the fort."

The other two naturally had no opinion.Needless to say, the climbing ability of the dwarves, this short and stocky race can not only dig the deepest tunnel, but also climb the highest mountain. In comparison, mountain climbing is even regarded as a kind of pastime; For a ranger, the wilderness is his home, and the difficult terrain in nature will not slow down a ranger at all.

As for Lancelot, although he has neither the innate racial talent of a dwarf nor the ability to survive in the wild like a ranger through long-term training, but with his physical fitness that has been separated from the mortal body after foundation establishment, He can walk up to any mountain top in a straight line without turning.

That being said, in order to avoid revealing their intentions, they proceeded very carefully in case the fortress below discovered the anomaly.The rocky piles and lush bushes in the mountains provided them with good cover.There are also wandering low-level demons along this route, but this time Lancelow will not let them escape.

The three of them worked together to kill any demons who might see their whereabouts directly with thunder. After killing, Lancelot would summon vines to carefully bury the enemy's corpse to ensure that no trace was left.

Although the fortress was less than one mile away from Gormen Dicolia, it still took them two hours to get around to the nearby mountain peak.The three of them hid in the shadow of a boulder, poked their heads out carefully, and observed the demon fortress hundreds of feet below.

Unlike the city not far away that is full of tall towers, this fortress is built on the hillside, with a low and wide layout.From their point of view, the structure of the fortress is a bit like a deformed three-layer cake, the higher the terrain is, the higher it is.

The outermost layer of the fortress is an open training ground, where people are practicing at the moment; the middle layer has barracks, blacksmith shops and animal pens, which looks like the place where ordinary soldiers and students in the fortress live; the uppermost layer has a building with Hagrid At first glance, the manor looks like a similar three-story building, but if you look closely, you will notice the characteristics of its military architecture, solid walls, narrow windows, and crenels that can shoot arrows around.

In addition, there are guards patrolling the city walls on each floor, all of them are well-equipped Berserkers, and there are no low-level cannon fodder such as original demons, cowards, or even monstrous monsters; there are arrows with four arms on several commanding heights Demons, the giant bows in their hands can cover a large area, and any target exposed within the range of such elite demon soldiers will suffer a devastating blow.

"How did you sneak in?" the dwarf asked in disbelief.

"When I came that time, there were no lower floors." Aksian pouted helplessly, "So there were no guards patrolling back and forth..."

"It's almost impossible to sneak directly into a fortress with this layout." Lancelot said leisurely, "You mentioned that the last few attempts have failed, so you are actually very clear about the situation here, right? "

"Yes." Aksian nodded nervously.

"Do you think Elotesia can use her advantage as a succubus to easily sneak into this fortress and steal the battle plan of Urgog, who is known for his cunning?"

"We really think so." The elf prince became more nervous, "Only she has that ability and advantage, doesn't she?"

"That's right, but there are some things you don't know about Helotesia." Lancelot shook his head, "She used her beauty and charm to corrupt many mortals and bring their souls to Her former owner, Balor, and since turning to the good camp, she has realized that she has caused harm and has done many things to make up for it. In addition, she is determined never to use her charm ability again, Only rely on her paladin training to solve the problem."

"What?" Aksian had an embarrassed look on his face, "We...I never knew this..."

"I also think this decision is a bit extreme, but I can understand her thoughts, and I am willing to help her keep it going." Lancelow said with a serious face, "So no matter what your original plan is, I will not let it go." The succubus paladin did something against his will."

"I understand..." the elf prince replied dejectedly, "I didn't know before, and I won't after knowing. But in this way, it will be too difficult to sneak in, those guards..."

"Don't worry, I didn't say this method is bad, I just said that Helotesia can't do it."

Brutal, who had been silently looking at the fortress below, suddenly turned his head, his eyes widened with excitement.

"Helotesia can't do it, but I can do it." Lancelot had a smirk on his face, "You too, Brutal?"

　Thank you for your reward~ This ID is purely hand-made, haha~ By the way, I will talk to you about the status of my writing. I saw a book review two days ago, saying that everyone came to see Abyss Travel Notes, and I agree. Haha~ everyone has read a lot of stories that happened on the mainland of Faerun, but no matter whether it is official or online, there is not much ink on the abyss. This is also the motivation for me to open the book-I want to understand this mystery And a dangerous plane, since there are no ready-made resources, why not explore by yourself~
