Chapter 281: Infiltration
Sundown.
NalanPureSoul was still sort of out of it. That pot of stew was too deadly. He turned and saw the bitter look NalanBeauty was giving him, and sighed.
Ye Cang looked into the distance with his Eagle Eye and prepared his bow. He pulled it into an arc, and aimed a precise shot at one of the goblin guard. SpyingBlade and NalanMoon were up ahead, ready to slit throats. Precise Shot pierced the targets eye. Lin Le leapt over and beheaded two more with a single slash. SpyingBlade and NalanMoon were already inside and took out the goblin axe-throwers on the watchtowers. Ye Cang and Wu Na climbed up one of the towers. NalanPureSoul and NalanBeauty climbed up another one. They began to inform the people below of the goblin’s patrol routes, while sniping from afar.
NalanPureSoul frowned. He had only realized when they came in, but there could be up to 300 goblins in the stronghold. The biggest wooden building over there probably belongs to the leader. First they had to prioritize taking out the patrols without alerting any of the sleeping goblins.
Zhang ZhengXiong, who was hidden between two wooden houses, saw that there were 5 elite patroller approaching his hiding place. He suddenly charged out, knocking two of them over. FrozenCloud pounced onto one of them. Lin Le and Little Ren took one each. Wang instructed the water elemental to use ice spells in order to slow them down. Ye Cang provided assistance from the sentry tower using his longbow. The situation was quickly settled. On the other side, NalanMight, NalanMoon, and SpyingBlade had dealt with the other groups. Wu Na sighed. Ye Cang’s range was so far, she could only attack from half the distance. Even her strongest spells, like Ice Spear, worked better from close range.
NalanPureSoul was also envious of Ye Cang’s range. He was even able to help the other side.
Once they secretly took out all the patrols, Ye Cang thought for a bit. His two hands glowed with a fiery light, then a flame burst exploded in the sky. NalanPureSoul watched his actions from the other side. Using a flameburst as a signal? So extravagant. He took out his magic springwater and began to drink, slowly recovering the mana he consumed.
“Let’s assemble. First go into the biggest building first and see if the person we need to rescue is there or not…” NalanPureSoul reminded. Ye Cang leaped off the watchtower, and everyone carefully made their way over. Some of the guards and patrolmen were as tall as normal people, so the doors were appropriately sized. There would probably be a boss inside. Ye Cang looked to Lin Le, “Later, when we open the door, throw a molotov in.”
“Ok…” Lin Le said, patting his bag. Little Ye Tian quickly stopped them. “Father, what if the captive is also inside. The molotov will burn her to death with the goblins. Our priority is to rescue, killing the boss is secondary…”
“She’s right…” NalanPureSoul also wanted to warn them of this.
“Then let’s storm in. You guys take care of the goblins inside. I’ll look around…” Ye Cang nodded. They couldn’t possibly kill a little girl.
Ye Cang signalled for Zhang ZhengXiong to open the door.
