Broad World

Henry quietly gestured to Imoen behind him, and the girl immediately understood and shot a magic arrow. .The burning arrow forces the enemy to dodge, interrupting the divine spell being cast. He roared angrily, and the surrounding animals began to attack. Minsk and Apodel stopped the cave bears rushing from the left and right sides respectively, while Khalid raised his shield and firmly held back the wolves behind.

Under the protection of the warriors, the mages and druids in the team got sufficient casting time. Dai Nahei used the "fireball technique" as soon as he made a move. The violent explosion and high-temperature flames directly blasted the two leopards into the air. While blessing everyone with divine spells, Jasila held a spear to drive back the animals that broke through the line of defense.

Henry cast a "scare spell" on the densely packed area of ​​wolves in the rear, and this magic directly affected more than half of the wolves. They seemed to have seen something terrifying, turned around and ran deep into the woods. The sharp decrease in the number of enemies made Khalid a lot easier. He used his shield to slap a wolf that rushed up, and cut off a wolf's leg along the way.

Aimon followed the instructions and stared closely at the lunatic not far away. As soon as he showed any sign of casting a divine spell, he shot a magic arrow. In the end, the opponent was so annoyed that he ran over with a stick and prepared to fight hand-to-hand. Apodel dealt with the cave bear as quickly as possible, and then met this guy with red eyes.

Suddenly, another person ran out from the camp. As soon as he appeared, he yelled at the crazy guy: "Osmadi! Look at what you have done! You attacked a group of strangers for no reason."

The man named Osmadi yelled loudly while fighting with Apodel: "Get away! Curzon. Don't come to hinder me from taking revenge, or I will kill you too."

"Brother! You have lost your mind. Let me help you out now!" Curzon cast two divine spells with a sad face and joined the battle group.

The animals were quickly killed, and Osmadi was pierced through the heart by Apodel's sword, and his bloodshot eyes gradually lost their luster. With the end of the battle, Curzon walked up to everyone and saluted. "I'm really sorry to trouble you. A few days ago, a group of robbers who called themselves the Cold-Blooded Gang rushed into the camp and killed everyone they saw. Many friends and relatives of Osmadi died. Since then, his mental state has become worse and worse, but this is the first time he has attacked passers-by."

"Cold-Blooded Gang? I seem to have heard this name somewhere." Apodel wiped the blood from his sword and muttered. Suddenly he slapped himself on the head violently. "Ah, I remembered. There's a hobgoblin bandit who also claims to be a member of the Cold-Blooded Gang."

Henry sighed slightly. "That's right. I like these guys slaughtering the entire camp because I don't want others to find out. I believe that there must be their secret stronghold in a corner deep in the woods."

"The analysis is very reasonable. I found many footprints of the attackers in the north of the camp. Finally, I would like to remind you that according to the size of the footprints, hobgoblins accounted for a large proportion of them." Curzon also told all the information he knew.

Jasila glanced at Curzon and asked, "Do you want to come together? These guys drove Osmadi crazy, and you have the right to revenge."

Curzon shook his head sadly. "No. I still want to bury these corpses. Although I can't hold a decent funeral, at least let them return to the embrace of the earth." As he spoke, he picked up Osmadi's body and staggered towards the camp.

"It's so pitiful. I think he must be very sad." Aimon looked at Curzon's back and said with emotion.

Apodell patted the girl on the shoulder. "Don't look, let's go. Let's quickly find the robbers and seek justice for these victims." After speaking, he strode forward towards the north, and the others hurriedly followed behind.

We followed the footprints on the ground all the way to the north, and two days later we entered the range of Bode Valley. Along the way, they were attacked by many mercenaries who claimed to be Black Claws. These guys were not only well-equipped, but also used a "frost arrow" that would turn into ice balls after being fired. The people who encountered this magic arrow for the first time almost suffered a big loss. Khaled used a shield to block it, and half of his body was frozen.

The closer you get to the north, the more frequently you encounter attacks, and the number of enemies begins to increase. All this proved that they were very close to the enemy's lair, and maybe they could see the robbers' camp through the woods. Soon everyone met a bandit leader named Viken. Henry killed all his men in a few seconds, and then tied up the guy and tortured him to extract a confession.

At the beginning, Viken was still stubborn, but when he tasted the "Ice Armor", he immediately poured out all the secrets, crying and shouting. The so-called "hanging ice armor" is to hang people wearing thick clothes, and then pour boiling water on them. Wait for the victim to be soaked in boiling water, and then use spells to freeze it.

Due to the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the wet clothes on the body will stick tightly to the skin as the temperature drops. When the body is completely frozen, you can start to take off the clothes. Clothes that have been frozen into icy slag will stick to the epidermis tightly. When they are taken off, the tortured person will feel the heart-piercing pain of peeling, and the visual impact of bloody flesh can easily cause the psychological defense line to collapse.

Apodell was stunned by the cool method of extorting a confession just now, and he gave Henry a thumbs up. "Dude, you looked so handsome just now. That faint smile, combined with this torture method, has the temperament of a **** wizard."

Henry was in a good mood when he got the specific location of the thieves' camp, and then made a joke. "Thank you for the compliment. If I decided to join the ** camp that day, I would definitely recruit you as soon as possible."

"Stop making trouble. Hurry up and think of a way. According to the confession, there are at least two thousand robbers, and we only have seven." Jasira frowned and interrupted the teasing between the two.

A cruel smile appeared on Henry’s face. "Don't worry, we'll sneak in when it's dark, and then cast the "Death Cloud Spell" in each tent, and it will only take a few seconds to send them to the God of Death."

After a brief discussion, this insidious trick was quickly approved by most of the team members. They executed Viken on the spot, with only one breath left, and quickly moved in the right direction. After killing several waves of mercenaries patrolling the periphery, everyone finally saw a large area of ​​tents and campfires in the distance.

Henry cast a "farsightedness" to carefully observe the distribution of the camp. There are about 200 barracks around the big camp, and one can accommodate ten to fifteen robbers to rest. There is the largest tent in the center, and there are constant patrols around it. It seems that Tazok should be inside. Finally, a cave in the north was detected, and there were many jackals living in it.

Just when Henry wanted to get a closer look at the specific number of people, he suddenly found a man dressed as a mage walking out of the tent. In order to avoid being noticed by the other party, he immediately cut off the detection magic. As soon as he left the state of concentrating on casting spells, Apodel couldn't wait to ask: "How is the situation? How many enemies are there, and where is their leader?"

"The situation is not very good. I actually saw a mage just now." Henry replied with a frown.

While drawing a distribution map on the ground with branches, he explained the distribution inside to his companions. "First of all, the surrounding police. The people living here are generally ordinary robbers. They don't have a strong sense of vigilance, so they can sneak in easily. The second is the cave near the north. Except for a few human guards, there are all gnolls inside. Although they have a keen sense of smell, they are easy to deal with because they are locked in the fence. Finally, there is the central tent. The guys patrolling this area are all elites, and occasionally there are mages."

Dai Nahei thought for a while and made a suggestion: "Why let the gnolls out quietly. As far as I know, these guys don't care about any allies when they are hungry. They even eat their own kind. We can use the gnolls to sneak in when they are creating chaos. As long as we rush into the big tent and kill the leader of the bandits, these loose guys will definitely flee in all directions."

"No! There are too many bandits. If they are allowed to escape, the security of the entire Baldur's Gate area will be ruined." Jasila immediately vetoed this proposal. As a harpist, she is very aware of the destructive power of bandits. When they are small in number, they block the road and rob, and once the number reaches a certain level, they dare to loot the town.

Henry used a branch to draw a circle on the west side of the camp, almost enclosing about half of the small tents. "Let's not take care of the central tent, and start cleaning from the outermost. When night falls, we will sneak into the tent on the west. This place is far away from the center, even if there is a little noise, as long as it is dealt with quickly enough, it will not be discovered at all."

Apodel nodded first, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and immediately asked: "What about the rest? The east side is very close to the big tent, and any disturbance will be discovered immediately."

Henry glanced at him and let out a sneer. "What should I do? Of course it's a strong attack! I've endured these bastards for a long time, and I just want to use them to try the power of new spells."

Apodell patted his forehead and let out a scream. "My God! Are you crazy?! That's a full two thousand people!"

"Crazy? Maybe! Anyway, this is a crazy world. Maybe one day in the future you will make a decision that is even crazier than me. How about it? Do you want to go crazy together?" Henry bewitched the son of Baal with words. "Think about it, bards will spread the story of today, the legendary hero Aberdell and his six companions killed two thousand robbers overnight."

Apodell's eyes began to heat up slowly, he glanced at Aimon, whose eyes were shining, and then at Minsk, whose blood was already boiling. Finally, he gritted his teeth and finalized the battle plan. "You are such a demagogic devil! Well, I agree. Just follow your plan and let us go crazy tonight!" (To be continued.)
