Chapter 399: Sneaking Into the Gray Dwarf's Lair
The feeling of looking at the gray dwarf fortress from the outside is completely different from experiencing it personally from the inside. Only by experiencing it personally can you realize how much effort the gray dwarves have put into it.
Xiao Weier and others passed through five levels and six generals in stealth, and walked out of the underground passage without any danger. They learned the general layout of the gray dwarf fortress from the man in the black cloak, and drew a simple layout based on the terrain they saw from a high place during the day. map.
"The number of gray dwarves is definitely more than ten thousand. The number of advanced experts may be true, but there is definitely something wrong with the total number of gray dwarves." Gru did not completely believe the man in black cloak.
"I have never believed what he said. Although I can generally judge whether his words are true or false, I am more proficient in language skills than him." Little Will smiled coldly: "He said tens of thousands, not ten thousand , 20,000, 30,000, 50,000 or even 80,000 people are possible. He only mentioned the gray dwarves themselves, but what about the Warcraft?"
"That bastard!" Gru was furious. Will he be deceived by a gray dwarf one day?
Dwarves are very straightforward and sometimes very irritable, but facing gray dwarves, all they have is hatred and hatred. In their eyes, gray dwarves are not dwarves, they are shameful garbage, and they are a shame that dwarves must erase.
Therefore, no matter how many advantages and benefits the gray dwarves have, he will turn a blind eye, but as long as there is a little shortcoming, he will infinitely magnify it. This is the most true attitude of the dwarves towards the gray dwarves.
Patting Gru on the shoulder, Little Will said softly: "I have never placed all my hopes on a certain enemy. Sneaking in here is already our greatest success. The next step is to find some ordinary gray dwarves for hypnotic questioning. When those monsters cause chaos later, let's just add some fuel to the fire. It's already getting late, and if we wait any longer, it might really get dark."
"I really don't want to wear a gray skin and feel uncomfortable all over." Gru muttered and walked out first.
Little Will, Nicole, and Wei Liluo will not be discovered under the invisibility cloak, but Gru has to wear a camouflage spell to look like a gray dwarf. The so-called discomfort is just a psychological effect, and the camouflage spell is not a real cloak. Taking advantage of other people's skin.
Something seems wrong. The night is deep and the sky is full of stars, but the gray dwarf tribe of Nuo Da is agglomerated. There is almost no sound, let alone lights and the like. This seems not quite right. A "Fire Dragon" slowly approached in the distance, it was a patrol!
"Gru, come here quickly, there is something weird in this tribe." Little Will hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Gru into the invisibility cloak, leaving Gru slightly puzzled.
"Didn't we agree that I would pretend to be a gray dwarf and get away with it? This cloak is too small.
There is no room for so many people. "Gru was a little unhappy. Sneaking was not his style, especially in front of gray dwarves.
"This tribe is very weird. In a small town with tens of thousands of people, no one is wandering outside at night. This is absolutely abnormal." Xiao Weier explained softly to him: "We are now operating in secret, and everything must be as consistent as possible with them. Being idiosyncratic can only lead to bad things.”
"Xiao Luo, get on my back. Nicole, stay tight." Xiao Weir carried Wei Liluo on his back and asked Nicole to be close to him, trying not to leak any clues as much as possible. The four of them approached the wall and looked at a group of twenty gray men. A patrol of dwarf warriors passed by.
It was quiet all around. Nicole, who has excellent sense of smell and night vision, also discovered a few hidden sentries. After walking for two or three miles, except for the patrol team, no one was walking on the street. Even the houses on the ground were dark. The silence of midwinter.
The layout of the gray dwarf tribe was mostly built in accordance with human city planning, at least on the ground. The exit of the underground passage was close to the military camp. Although there were handles, it was not tight. They were a little overconfident in the multi-layered levels underground. The center of the fortress should be what the man in black cloak calls the patriarch's meeting hall. People living near that hall are strong men or people with relatively high status.
The four of them walked forward, leaning against the wall without fear of being hit by someone. Invisibility and lightness should have ensured safety. Suddenly, a sharp and ear-piercing cry sounded not far away.
Gru's expression suddenly changed: "Damn it, it's actually a big-eared gray rat. This is a small animal used by dwarves as an early warning. He's a very alert little guy."
The big-eared gray rat is an ordinary, unpopular animal. It has no lethality, is timid, is good at digging holes, has a sharp and harsh voice, and has a strong vigilance. An introduction to this little animal came to mind. His fingers clicked out like lightning, and a gray rat the size of a baby's fist hit the wall immediately, and the sharp sound suddenly stopped.
"Come on, we may have been exposed." Gru knew a lot about the dwarves' early warning, but he was blinded by the gray dwarves' hatred, which led to his negligence. At this time, he felt extremely regretful. He finally sneaked in and did nothing. He was discovered, what a bad luck!
"Things are not that bad yet, maybe it's a good thing." Xiao Weir casually took out a snake from the seven-story tower, which he caught in the wild during the day. He pinched the neck and stuffed the big-eared gray rat into the snake. Mouth, Gru and others were dumbfounded.
"Is this okay?"
"Based on what you know about the big-eared gray rat, what does its cry just now mean?" Little Will asked knowingly.
Gru replied casually: "The enemy is fear. I understand, this enemy can be us or their natural enemies. Brother Weir, you are so smart!"
Little Will threw the snake with a round belly on the ground, and left quickly with Gru, Nicole, and Xiao Luo. However, this time they did not walk along the foot of the wall, but walked in the middle of the road, which was the safest place. "Fake is fake after all. I just hope to delay for a while and prevent them from being prepared so quickly. Chaos can happen, but it cannot be caused by us."
It is much safer to fish in troubled waters and be behind the scenes than in front of the stage. Four people, two first-level strongmen, are fighting against a tribe of tens of thousands of people, including at least three entry-level strongmen. It is absolutely courting death to do it openly. Little Will is not so stupid.
The teacher has said countless times that people should be low-key! Only by keeping silent can you make a fortune!
Rhythmic whistles sounded, and the lights in the houses were lit one after another, but no one came out. The windows were opened but no one went out. Soon, teams of fully armed gray dwarf warriors appeared on the streets. There was no panic in the whole process, which made Little Will and others hiding in a house a few hundred meters away feel a little terrified.
Under the light, a pair of gray dwarfs had fear in their eyes, but they couldn't say a word. When they heard the warning, they got up and opened the window to check the situation, but were knocked to the ground by a pair of black hands, and their hands and feet were tied and their mouths were sealed.
There was really an enemy invasion, but the patrol team that checked the situation quickly issued a signal to cancel the warning, which made them feel cold all over.
Did they disguise themselves? Or was there a traitor in the patrol team? It is probably the former. The gray dwarf couple's eyes blurred and found that the surrounding environment became unfamiliar. Green became the main tone. Their eyelids gradually became heavy and they fell asleep soon.
After the captain of the gray dwarf patrol team arranged for people to cancel the alarm and continue patrolling, he led the fat grass snake to the patriarch's meeting hall. How did this thing appear in the city? You must know that the surrounding snakes and insects generally dare not approach the fortress. The outer snakes and insects are under the control of the black messengers as ears and eyes and defense. Is this snake the pet of a certain black messenger?
