The knight in the abyss

Chapter 84 Embark on a Journey
When Lancelot arrived at the throne room in Tijana Castle, the succubus lord had not yet appeared, but he was not the first to arrive. Four fully armed dwarves were already waiting there.

Lancelot recognized the dwarves as familiar, and then realized that he had seen them before: seven mighty dwarven warriors stood before the decision to build a temple of Moradin in the Broken Mountains to house the sacred anvil Come out and take on the duty of guarding the temple.

In front of them are four of the seven dwarves. They are all experienced and highly skilled in martial arts. The leader of them is the priest of Moradin, who has the magical ability to protect against toxins and heal life.

Of course, he was also a seasoned fighter before becoming a priest.

"You must be Ser Lancelot." The guards of the Dwarf Temple stood up one after another and greeted Lancelot.

"Uncle Werther?" Pluto's surprised voice sounded, "Why are you here?"

"We were called directly by Tijana, and she said that it was about the glory of the dwarves." The dwarf priest named Werther had a firm tone, "We have already learned the whole story, and it is every dwarf to take back the relic of White Gold Guard. It is an unshirkable responsibility, we will fully support your actions, but what are the specific plans?"

Lancelot was about to open his mouth to speak, but suddenly closed it again and turned his eyes to a step behind the throne.

The figure of the succubus lord appeared there, followed by a rather disturbed goblin and a calm-faced Brezumo.

Perhaps to lessen the unease of these devout dwarves, Tijana is now in human form, wearing a well-cut black dress with missing wings on her back.

Lancelot noticed that around her neck was a beautiful diamond necklace, the one she had given her earlier.

"Good morning, my lady." Lancelot gave Tijana a knightly salute. "You look extraordinarily beautiful today."

"Good morning, knight." Tijana smiled back and raised her chin slightly. "Come and meet the guide of this operation. This goblin is Phil. I think you may have seen him in the mercenary area."

Pluto jumped up, how could he have forgotten this little liar?
Phil immediately hid behind the succubus lord, looking pitiful.

"Very good, what I need is your acting skills." Tijana's slender tail is far stronger than it looks, and she directly rolls up the goblin, "Phil is one of the best intelligence officers in Shuangqiao Town, He is very familiar with many neutral towns. It seems that you have already seen his talent in disguising as a businessman. This time he is also the leader of the caravan, and you guys are the bodyguards of the caravan."

"Meet again, ser." Phil waved weakly at Lancelot, and was immediately put on the ground by Tijana.

"This is Iados, the best Brezu swordsman in Shuangqiao Town." Tijana turned to introduce the sheep demon beside him, and Lancelot realized that this was exactly what he was in Tijia when he first arrived in Shuangqiao Town. Na's statue was a lowly companion, a Brezumo who had a relationship with each other.

At that time, the other party held an exaggerated giant sword and greeted Lancelot with a politeness that was out of tune with the devil. These two characteristics left a deep impression on him.

"Meet again, Ser Lancelot." The tall demon with the head of a sheep nodded to Lancelot, his words and eyes were only calm, a quality that Lancelot had never seen in other demons. "At that time, I thought you were a master swordsman, and I hoped to have the opportunity to learn a thing or two with you."

"I live in Hagrid Manor in the Eastern District, and you are always welcome." Lancelot was as curious as he was fond of this Brezumo, and agreed without hesitation.

"Wait until this mission is completed."

"Remember to notify me when the time comes, I don't want to miss this good show." Tijana's voice sounded again, "Iados will lead twenty Brezu warriors to stalk outside the Oasis Castle. People chase and kill them, and they'll take care of those tails that follow."

"We will wait for you in the woods about three miles outside Oasis Castle, which is very suitable for ambush." ​​Iados said, "If it becomes no longer suitable for various reasons, the backup point is ten more to the south. Five Miles of Skull Rifter. You'll pass by these places on your way to Oasis, and Phil will show you when the time comes."

"Understood, thank you very much." Lancelot nodded.

"You have to be fully prepared for difficulties." Tijana said at this time, "According to the information sent by the eyeliners of Oasis Castle, Moruo seems to have noticed something. He should have left three weeks ago, but He did not leave until this morning. During this time he has greatly increased the strength of the guards and the number of soldiers patrolling the streets has tripled."

The news upset everyone, and the dwarves began to whisper.Lancelot frowned and asked:
"How could this be? Has our plan leaked?"

"The plan should not have been leaked. His arrangements are for a large-scale army attack. The focus of the city's guard is not the Succubus Palace, but his castle." Tijana's tone showed that she was quite certain about it. "Maybe he guessed something, or learned about a plan of another force. He didn't know that someone was eyeing an ordinary treasure in the Succubus Palace. This is our advantage."

"If it goes well, we just need to kill one or two guards silently."

"If it goes well." Tijana agreed, and then she seemed to remember something funny, with a weird smile on her face, "Is that thing ready?"

"Ready." Karalin said quickly.

"Let me see the effect." Tijana's face became even weirder, and there was anticipation in her tone.

"Ahem, don't." Lancelot rejected the request of the succubus lord embarrassedly, "I have tested it, and the effect is better than expected, it will definitely allow us to easily get in.

"Are you sure? I can make you more convincing."

"It's very convincing." Lancelot refused again, with a very firm tone.

"Well, maybe next time we're alone, you'll have some new ideas."

Except for Lancelot and Karalin, everyone else listened to their conversation inexplicably, and even Pluto was confused, but he didn't take it to heart. Who knows what Tijana and Lancelot have in private , it's normal that he doesn't understand.

"Let's go, my warrior, the three carriages are already waiting for their owners at the head of the North Bridge." Tijana waved her hand, "I am waiting for your good news, I believe you will not disappoint me."
