Chapter Seventy-Six: Mysterious Attack
Midnight in the northern part of Waterdeep was quiet, and everyone had already slept. Suddenly, a group of guys in black cloaks came out of a dark corner, led by a woman who whispered to everyone: "In the name of the Spider God Queen, kill all these surface debris!" With that, the people behind her pulled out their weapons and began to sneak into the houses on both sides of the road, and began to kill the unsuspecting citizens. Under the cover of night, the massacre went on quietly, and when the men arrived at Hawke's door, they were in trouble.
"Priestess Shanaen, what is this giant monster?" A man asked in a whisper.
The woman named Shanaen looked at it carefully and said, "This is supposed to be a surface beast called a bear. It has a lot of strength and is not easy to deal with. As soon as she finished explaining, the huge beast in front of her opened its eyes and stood up, startling the people who were about to sneak up.
Ares was sleeping on the grass at the door, when he suddenly smelled blood. It opened its eyes to see a group of armed men standing in front of it. The brown bear let out a loud roar at the ill-intentioned men, and then rushed forward and attacked. The two men standing at the front dodged and were knocked to the ground, and Ares bit off their necks one by one.
A loud roar woke Henry, who was sleeping, and he quickly got up, put on his clothes, and jumped out of the window of the house. He was taken aback by the sight in front of him, and with the help of the moonlight in the sky, he could see clearly the appearance of the attacking enemy. The men who were fighting Ares were about 1.6 meters tall, and they were slender with dark skin and silver-white hair. Dark Elves! Henry recognized the race of the attackers at once. Before he had time to think about it, he immediately began to bless himself with protective spells. As soon as the Iron Skin Technique had finished its Dark Elf attack, a poisoned arrow shot at it and crashed into the spell, making a "ding" sound and falling to the ground.
Henry ignored the non-threatening attacks and continued to chant incantations as Ares rampaged in front of him to fend off enemies who tried to rush up to interrupt the spell. Seeing this, Shanaen, who was behind, shouted loudly in the language unique to the dark spirit: "You idiots hurry up and attack the mages behind!" Do you want me to teach this? Hearing this, the other dark elves quickly began to disperse, forming a circular encirclement and quickly approaching Henry, Maggie glanced at the warriors and began to pray loudly to her god.
Just as Henry's spell was about to be completed, several black shadows suddenly rushed out behind him. All sorts of short swords and daggers stabbed at the vital point of his body, and at this moment of crisis, the orc warrior rushed out of the gate. He threw the two axes with great force, splitting the heads of the two assassins, and the massive inertia knocked the other dark elves to the ground.
Vaughn turned and shouted at the people in the room, "There are tons of enemies outside!" Find a place to hide and don't come out. With that, he closed the door. At the same time, the priestess Shanaen cast a four-god "coordinated defense" on all the dark elves, and the cooperation between the warriors immediately became very harmonious, as if they were a whole.
She shouted, "Leave that shitty orc alone! Kill the mage. With that, she pulled out the snakehead whip from her waist and brandished it and attacked. Just then, Henry's chanting stopped, and he sneered at the dark elves approaching, and then a huge hail fell within ten meters of him.
Shanaen shouted angrily, "Get out of the way!" "But it's too late, the hail envelops a lot of dark elves, and although their skin has some magic resistance, they have very poor defense against cold and fire. Large swaths of the enemy were knocked to the ground unconscious, but not many actually died......
The priestess glared at her red eyes and said to Heng in lingua franca, "Mage of the earth, I will bypass this house. You don't have to fight with us for these unrelated people. ”
Henry looked at her cautiously and said, "How do you make me believe the words of a dark elf, maybe you are still thinking of some intrigue when you speak." Know that your race has no credibility to speak of. ”
Shanaen angrily swung the snakehead whip a few times, then cursed in the dark elf language. She raised her head and said, "I can swear in the name of the Queen of God that I will not come near your abode again, as long as you do not interfere with our actions." Henry looked at the priestess carefully, and it seemed that she was not lying. Then Henry looked up into the distance, and he realized that it wasn't just here that was being attacked. It seems that these dark elves seem to have some kind of conspiracy, otherwise they would not have sent such a large-scale hunting party. If you agree to her proposal now, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to Waterdeep City by then.
He glanced at the warrior lying on the ground, a sarcastic smile on his face, and then took out his fireball staff and released several fireball spells in succession. The explosion and flames blew up all the dark elves around them and burned them to death.
When Shanaen saw this, she roared angrily, "You filthy surface wretch! How dare you refuse the offer of a noble priestess! I'll kill you! With that, she rushed up with the remaining dozen or so people. Vaughn picked up his axe on the ground and blocked all the warriors with Ares back-to-back, and the orc warrior knocked a dark elf away with his shoulder and shouted to Henry, "Head, get rid of that dark-skinned woman." We won't be able to hold up for much for long with so many dark elves. ”
Henry didn't have the heart to reply now, he was carefully dodging the priestess's whip. Shanaen cursed while waving her whip, "I'll dig out your heart and liver as a gift to the queen of the gods with my own hands, and see how long this spell can last on you." ”
Henry didn't dare to distract himself at all, and the effect of the iron mask on his body had disappeared. He was now forced to dodge around, and there was no way to cast spells, and several whip marks had already appeared on his arms and face, which were scorching his nerves. Just as he was in a hurry, there was a sudden sound of a spell chanting from the second floor, and then an acceleration technique was blessed on his body. Henry looked up and saw that it was Debra who immediately unleashed a "flash spell", and with the help of two spells, he quickly distanced himself from the priestess. After re-blessing himself with a stone skin spell, he picked up the fireball staff and fired a fireball at Shanaen behind him.
The explosion knocked her unconscious, and Henry stepped forward and quickly stripped the priestess of all her equipment and clothes, and then used a "activation rope" to tie her up firmly. While the effects of the acceleration had not worn off, he quickly ran back to Hawke's house. Ares and Vaughn were covered with wounds in just a few minutes, and black blood was already bleeding from many places, and the weapons of the dark elves were always smeared.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Henry immediately cast a "human immobilization" in front of him, and only four or so dark elves resisted the spell. The orc warriors took the opportunity to hack to death several immobile creatures. Henry cast another "sluggishness", and the remaining Dark Elves found themselves moving much slower, and it didn't take long for them all to be killed. As soon as the battle was over, Vaughn and Ares sat down on the ground, and Henry hurried over to pour them the water and healing potions.
Looking up at the second floor, he saw that Debra had fallen in front of the window, with a black arrow stuck in her shoulder, and her face was dark, obviously poisoned. Henry climbed directly down the outer wall of the house with his dexterity, cut off the arrow with his dagger and pulled it out. Feed her to drink the antidote water, and cast another magic spell "Healing Medium Damage". After a few minutes, the mage slowly woke up, she glanced at Henry and asked, "How is the situation outside the master?" ”
Heng used his magic to heal the whip marks on his hands and face and said, "Our enemies here have been eliminated, and there is still a prisoner outside. However, the scale of the attack was very large, and I saw large-scale riots in many places in the distance. You wait here for a while, and I'll go and bring the captives back. With that, he jumped off the second floor and down the street to find Shanaen, who was still unconscious.
It didn't take long for Henry to carry her back with him on his shoulders. The living room was already full, and Juliet and Mia had obviously not experienced anything like this, and the expressions on their faces were a little shocked. Hawke stood up and took the captive after seeing Henry walk in, and tied her to a pillar in the middle of the room. Juliet glanced at Shanaen with a little panic and said, "I know that the dark elves and monsters in the city below the mountain must have escaped, otherwise no one would be able to attack Deep Water City." ”
"Yamashita Castle?" The orc warrior asked.
After comforting his wife, Hawke explained to the orc warrior, "The castle under the mountain was founded by the legendary mage Hylaster Blackrobe, and it is said to be full of all kinds of monsters and treasures. Countless adventurers come here every year, but most of them never come out of it again. Some say that it is directly connected to the Dark Realm, while others say that all the creatures were captured by the Black Robe of Hyrust and used as a tool to fool adventurers. Anyway, it's a very dangerous place, and I think tonight's attack is a bit weird, so let's interrogate the captives first. ”
Debra glanced at Hawke and said, "The dark elves are very patient and very good at lying, especially since this one in front of me is obviously a priestess. How likely do you think she is to tell the truth? ”
Henry shook his head and said, "Let's not get involved in this matter for the time being, and when order is restored after dawn, we will hand her over to the council, and with the strength of Waterdeep, we will soon interrogate the specific situation." With that, he left Vaughn here to guard the captive, and the others went back to their houses to rest. After a fierce battle, everyone was a little tired, and when the effect of the acceleration wore off, Henry could barely move his legs. When he returned to the room, he tiredly opened the system to check and upgrade.
Classes: Mage Level 11 403113/750000, Druid Level 12 403112/750000

Henry touched his stuttering wound, he had killed probably less than twenty Dark Elf warriors tonight. On average, one has close to four thousand experiences, and it seems that this is a really powerful race, but fortunately they cannot live on the ground.
