One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 143 Rescue Operation (for Subscription)

As the time entered the second half of the night at around three o'clock in the morning, the entire monster camp had fallen into silence.

Especially half-orcs who had no sense of responsibility and discipline, basically either fell asleep drowsily, or took a nap with their eyes closed.

As for guarding the prisoners...

Feel sorry!

They don't feel at all that those humans who have done heavy physical labor for a day and haven't eaten much have the ability to escape from the camp full of various monsters.

What's more, half-orcs still have half human blood.

When dealing with humans, dwarves, halflings, and gnomes, no matter how bad the attitude is, they will not treat them as food.

This is why the orcs were arranged to guard and manage the captives.

If they were replaced by gnolls, ogres, and trolls, they would probably throw all the captives into the pot and cook them in a few days.

The orcs are slightly better. Although they are not cannibalistic, the men will unceremoniously violence the captive women, forcing them to become pregnant and give birth to hybrid offspring.

As for the snake people and lizard people, they will be more than happy to sacrifice these captives to their gods first.

To sum up, in fact, the captives were relatively safe staying under the care of the orcs.

But if you run out, that's not necessarily the case.

But these half-orcs didn't notice at all. While they were sleeping and dozing off, an owl passed over the camp without a sound, making a full circle.

Immediately after turning around and landing on the shoulder of a female half-elf in the woods, she tilted her head and let out a gurgle.

Needless to ask, this female half-elf was none other than Jaheira, who had just been rescued.

Through the druid's special professional ability of "Understanding Animals", she quickly learned a lot of useful information from the owl's mouth, then turned around and said in a low voice to the other two: "There are about two thousand people in the camp. captive.

The orcs in charge of them numbered almost two hundred, and a few wargs who were very alert and cunning.

If we want to save people, we must first get rid of the wargs and the sentinels guarding the door.

The whole rescue process must be very fast and not make too much noise.

Otherwise, once the other monsters around are alarmed, it will turn into a terrible disaster. "

"Don't worry! Just leave this kind of thing to me."

Zuo Si pulled up the hood to cover her face, and then tapped herself with the [Invisibility Staff].

next second...

He just disappeared out of thin air.

If it weren't for the faint footprints on the ground that were gradually receding, no one would have noticed that there was a big living person hidden here.

Watching Zuo Si disappear into the darkness, Jaheira immediately asked in an uncertain tone, "How do you think he will deal with those wargs and orcs?"

"No...no...don't know. But I don't think he looks like a ten-year-old human boy at all." Khalid, who has a stuttering problem, stammered.

"Indeed! He looks much more mature than his appearance. In addition, his name is South, so if there is no accident, he should be the person we are looking for." Jaheira narrowed his eyes and analyzed.

Without asking, she already recognized Zuo Si's identity.

After all, black hair and black eyes, an oriental face, and the time, place, and name all match perfectly. If you can't tell the difference, you don't have to be a harpist.

"You...do you think that box is really in his hands?" Khalid asked cautiously.

Jaheira shook his head lightly: "I'm not sure. But judging from his behavior tonight, he shouldn't be some evil person. Maybe we can wait until we have rescued those prisoners, and then find a chance to ask them in person."

"Ah-ka... Calimport's stronghold was destroyed too quickly. No... otherwise, we should have known what was in that box by now."

There was a hint of sadness in Khalid's tone and eyes.

For among the dead Harpist there were many who were his friends.

"No matter what is in that box, we must ensure that it will not be obtained by the Cyric Church. Whether it is for those dead companions, or to prevent the expansion of evil." Jaheira said firmly.

Just when Khaled was about to say something, Zuo Si suddenly lifted his stealth and appeared in front of the two, pointing to the camp behind him and said in a relaxed tone: "It's all done! Now you can go in and organize the prisoners to escape .”

"What... what! Done?"

Jaheira had a look of disbelief on his face.

She really couldn't imagine how this "little guy" in front of her could silently kill so many wargs and sentries in just a few minutes.

You must know that even the top Shadow Thief Assassins in Amn are far from being able to achieve such killing efficiency.

"That's right! It's all done. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

After all, Zuo Si made a gesture of please.

Under his "gracious invitation", Jaheira and Khaled approached the camp with suspicion.

After a while, they saw half-orcs and wargs lying on the ground in disorder, as if they were dead asleep, even if they were kicked, they didn't respond.

But Jaheira, who was a druid, was acutely aware that these enemies were not dead from sleep, but really dead.

A dark and cold negative energy emanates from the body.

moment!

The idea that "these creatures must have died from necromancy" came to her mind.

After all, apart from necromancer magic, other spells simply cannot kill so many targets in a short period of time, and also leave traces of negative energy in the opponent's body.

"You... how did you do it?"

Khalid, who didn't have too much thought, asked directly, and at the same time looked at Zuo Si without any suspicion or contempt.

Because in Faerun Continent, no matter young or old, righteous or evil, as long as they have strong power, they should be respected.

Regarding this point, let’s see how the lords of Waterdeep City and the voters of the Goddess of Magic deal with digging mazes underground in Waterdeep City, summoning and imprisoning all kinds of dangerous and ferocious monsters and alien creatures, and making big troubles more than once Crazy mage Helast Black Robe.

Not only did they not yell and kill this crazy legendary mage of the evil camp.

On the contrary, after a major disturbance, a team should be sent to rescue the "culprit" who was captured or trapped.

So in Faerun, as long as your strength is strong enough, you can really do whatever you want.

Zuo Si undoubtedly noticed the change in their attitudes, and immediately said with a smile: "I have some experience in summoning and manipulating shadow creatures. The corpses you saw were all touched by a large number of shadow creatures in an instant. Finally, unable to withstand the erosion of negative energy and eventually died."

"No wonder!"

Jaheira understood in an instant.

If it was normal, she would definitely not be able to help preaching.

After all, shadow creatures, like all kinds of strange monsters, are unnatural in the eyes of druids and must be destroyed.

But now, she knew that saving people was like putting out a fire, so she walked into the camp where a large number of human captives were held without any nonsense, and woke up those sleeping people one by one.

Half an hour later, more than 2,000 people woke up from their sleep, holding hands and running towards the direction of the city gate of Mailatma.

Among them, the soldiers and militiamen picked up the weapons and armor in the hands of the orcs, and consciously assumed the responsibility of protecting civilians.

Although they were very careful not to make any noise, they were finally discovered by a few goblins who got up to pee in the middle of the night because of the large number of people.

Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion accompanied by piercing screams and yells, and other sleeping monsters woke up...
