Jasila sighed when she saw Apodell agree to the plan. She knew that Henry had made the right choice, because there was no better way to do it. Dinahi silently prepared her spells, and tonight's battle would be the best time for her to observe the potential of the Children of Baal.
All of them are doing their own thing with a sense of unease. Henry found a comfortable meadow and lay down and began to sleep, he had already thought about it, and was ready to let go of his hands and feet for the evening. Take a good look at your current strength, and by the way, let Apodel's divinity be further awakened.
As time passed, the sun gradually set in the west, and the moon once again dominated the night sky. The bandit camp in the distance became lively, and a large number of humans and goblins gathered together, and they talked to each other about the harvest of today's robbery, and occasionally made a few vulgar jokes.
Apodell looked at these people, they would all be the targets of the hunt tonight. Since solving the Iron Mine Crisis, he has begun to find that his abilities will gradually increase with killing. Although she didn't know what it meant, she could tell from Jasila's eyes that she was in awe of this kind of strength.
Henry was called out by Aemon at nightfall. He now had all his spell slots completely restored, and all kinds of staff and magic items were hung within reach. The battle will definitely be fierce for a while, and it will be too late to rummage through the dimensional bag first. In order to kill more efficiently, he even took out a cutlass that he hadn't used for a long time and hung it around his waist.
Looking at the outfit on his body, Henry felt like Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings. Left-hand staff and right-hand scimitar. Except when casting a spell, one hand must be free. Nothing else has much of an impact. Amon looked curiously at his strange outfit and asked, "Hey! What are you doing here? Are you going to rush up and fight with a scimitar and a stick? ”
"It's just to sneak into the assassination preparations. My melee abilities are pretty good. If you always use spells, you can easily be spotted by enemies. After saying that, Henry also made a few attack moves, which looked smooth and beautiful. He trained with the Terminator without trouble when he was in the territory, and he had already developed a keen reflex nerve and a unique way of fighting.
After dinner, the robbers went back to their tents to rest. The group didn't even make a bonfire, but simply put some jerky to satisfy their hunger. As the night deepened, the originally noisy bandit camp gradually quieted down. Seeing that most of the enemies had fallen asleep, Henry smiled and said to the others, "Are you ready?" The crazy night is about to begin! ”
"Of course! Minsk has long sharpened its weapons, under the command of Bub. We will win! The ranger excitedly drew his two-handed sword and cut down a patch of weeds.
Apodell took a deep breath and nodded. "Let's do it. Take advantage of the darkness to clear out half of the enemies first,"
Jasila glanced at everyone with a serious expression and warned, "Remember! Try not to make a sound. Especially Minsk and Ammon, both of you are absolutely not allowed to shout. ”
When Henry saw that everyone was ready to finish, he led them cautiously to the campsite. Silently, Aemon removed several of the sentries hiding in the trees, and the group finally made their way through the woods to a tent. The two robbers were sitting around the campfire, eating roast rabbit meat and talking about who had killed the most caravans.
Ammon and Apodell had avoided the flames and came behind them from the shadows. As soon as they covered the robber's mouth, their weapons quickly slit their throats. After waiting for people to die. The body was dragged into the grass and hidden. Apodell grabbed the roast rabbit meat and took two bites, the tasteless jerky at night was too unpalatable.
Finish off the night watchman. Henry pulled out a bottle of "hypnotic potion" and uncorked it, lifting a corner of the tent to let the smell evaporate. After a few minutes, the people inside were sleeping like dead pigs. He waved at the others, and Ammon and Khalid held their breath and slipped inside. The robbers were all sent to see death while they were still in their dreams.
When the crowd saw that they had killed all the enemies in a camp so easily, their confidence immediately rose a lot. They followed the same method and touched the tents one by one, and in just one hour they killed a quarter of the robbers in the camp.
As a result of the constant killing, Apodell's divinity has begun to simmer. Henry, Jasila, and Dinah Black had all noticed the red glow in his eyes from time to time. Obviously, the Son of Baal has gained a lot tonight, at least after tonight, the divinity of killing will increase a lot.
Under the cover of night, the massacre was carried out silently. Everyone became more and more proficient in cooperation, and soon they touched the vicinity of the cave to the north. Dinah Hei asked in a low voice, "What about the gnolls here?" Do you release them to cause chaos, or do you want to block them up in the cave and kill them all? ”
"Of course, kill them all!" Apodell replied without hesitation. His expression became more and more hideous, and he looked on the verge of losing control.
Jasila slapped him hard. "Look at what you look like now! What would Garian think if he saw it? ”
The slap woke Apodell, who was immersed in the thrill of killing, and he unscrewed the kettle and poured all the cold water on his head. "I'm sorry, my mind doesn't know what's going on just now, it seems a little out of control. But it's much better now. ”
"Pay attention to control your emotions, excessive killing can easily make people gradually lose themselves." Henry also reminded him solemnly. He didn't want Apodell to go on a rampage right now, and God knew if this guy would directly transform into an irrational killer.
After seeing that the son of Baal had completely calmed down, Henry turned to Dinah Hei and said, "I think it's better to kill them all." After all, it would be too dangerous to have a head-to-head battle with the remaining bandits in a while, and it would be too dangerous if there was a group of monsters behind them. ”
"You have a point. Just try to move as fast as you can and don't make any noise. Jasila weighed the pros and cons and finally agreed to the plan.
Henry blessed himself with the "stealth technique" and quickly came to the entrance of the cave. He slashed the neck of one of the guards with a scimitar, and Amon killed the other with a dagger. The smell of blood immediately made the gnolls inside smell it. A tall guy asked loudly through the fence, "What's going on?" Gakarles smelled blood. ”
Henry gave it a cold look, and unleashed a stinky cloud spell into the cave as fast as he could. The foul-smelling gas filled the entire cavern, and ninety percent of the gnolls were directly smoked to the ground. The guy who called himself Gakales held his breath and desperately banged on the fence with his halberd. Ammon pulled out an "ice arrow" and shot it, and the arrow hit its shoulder, and the cold air quickly invaded its whole body, slowing down the whole person's movements.
Henry refueled the sturdy gnolls with a "magic missile" that shattered his head in the blink of an eye with five balls of light. He then continued to chant the incantation, and the "Dead Cloud Technique" was quickly prepared and thrown into the cave. These gnolls lying on the ground never had a chance to wake up again, and the deadly poisonous gas would quickly enter the body, and only a few puffs would be enough to kill them.
When the poisonous cloud cleared, everyone entered the cave and took a brief look. After confirming that there were no survivors, they headed in the direction of the Central Tent. The next battle will be a frontal attack, and Henry has prepared a powerful seventh-level magic to open the eyes of these bandits.
As soon as the group approached the cordon, they were immediately spotted by a mage who was patrolling. He immediately issued a warning with "illusion magic": "There are intruders! Wake everyone up! ”
As this loud sound spread throughout the camp, the originally quiet camp immediately became noisy. Countless robbers ran out of the tents, and they ran towards the scene of the incident with their weapons in hand. Henry waited until the number of enemies had gathered to a certain extent before he began to chant the incantation. Khalid held his shield to fend off the arrows that flew at him, and he felt that this time he had been casting spells much longer than before.
Apodell and Minsk were back to back, holding on tightly to the bandits who wanted to rush over and interfere with Henry's spell. Seeing this, Jasila immediately blessed them with a few magic spells, and Ammon pulled the bowstring to snipe the fish that rushed through the net. The efforts of the crowd bought Dinahi enough time to cast the spell, and she quickly threw the "spider web" into the crowd behind her, and the large swath of strong sticky web held back the bandits' attack.
The robbers in the distance found that they could not break through the defense line, and quickly pulled out their bows and arrows to shoot a wide area of coverage. A rain of arrows fell from the sky in an instant, mixed with a lot of magic arrows. Khalid raised his shield above Henry's head, tensing his muscles against his back. After a round of attacks, the stammering half-elf warrior was like a hedgehog, and his entire body was stuck with arrows. Fortunately, there were no magic arrows in it, otherwise one would have killed him.
Henry finally recovered from his concentration on casting spells, and when he saw the tragic condition of his teammates, he immediately went to unleash the magic he had prepared. Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, and all of the robbers fell before they could stand still. Then the ground cracked into bottomless cracks, and many people fell into it with a loud scream.
Waves of violent vibrations continued, and Apodell and Minsk, who were going, lay tightly on the ground, not daring to stand up at all. The magic earthquake lasted for half a minute, and about a third of the robbers fell into the cracks. By the time the vibrations had ended, the ground ahead had been torn apart, and huge ravines had cut it into small pieces.
Everyone was speechless from the shock of what they saw, and even the robbers forgot about attacking for a moment. Henry looked at the devastation caused by the "earthquake technique" in amazement, he himself did not expect that the power of this magic could reach such an extent. (To be continued......)
