$1364 Infiltration
The coalition led by Femia, the elder of the Iron Ji Beast Clan, is still waiting to assemble. Therefore, although the two previous strong attacks failed miserably, most members and their tribal leaders have no doubts about capturing Lanhai Castle. .
But Raymond believes that the coalition forces don't know what kind of intensity of defense they are about to face, and they don't know that sometimes the numerical advantage for some defense systems is just a matter of how fast and how much magic stones are consumed!
But these speculations and many possibilities, Raymond did not tell Femia and others, because anyway, Lanhai Castle is a city built by humans and occupied for a long time. Although it belongs to an 'enclave', since It has existed for so many years, so there is naturally a reason for it to continue to exist.
Raymond, who was accompanied by the one-eyed sandman Saliman and the tooth beast Salome, under the guidance of the manticore, conducted a detailed and careful inspection of the Castle of the Sea from all angles.
Because of the special terrain of Lanhai Castle, the terraced cities built on the mountains on both sides of the canyon did not reveal strong defense facilities, and the ordinary people living in them did not suffer serious impacts and were still able to survive. Living a normal life.
"Lord Raymond, there are city guards stationed on the edges of the mountains on both sides, and the main force of the entire Lanhai Castle is huddled in its main city, similar to the 'shadow guards' you mentioned before. Before these human wizards They were left behind as a blocking force when they evacuated the Winged Tiger Clan's camp, so there shouldn't be many left in Lanhai Castle..."
The manticore hovering directly above the main city of Lanhai Castle was making introductions, but after hearing this, Raymond shook his head and spoke to the one-eyed sand man Shaliman. "After looking around, where do you think is the right place to break in if we want to attack by force?"
The one-eyed sandman Shaliman, who scratched his head, thought for a moment, then said with a smile. "Wherever you say is suitable, it will be suitable..."
Salome, the toothed beast standing aside, also had thoughts in his eyes, but after being stunned for a moment, he immediately became furious. He raised his right front paw, scratched Saliman's shoulder and roared. "Short bald man! You can't use your brain!"
The one-eyed sandman Saliman, whose shoulders sank when he was scratched by a claw, also roared in annoyance. "Don't call me short and bald again!"
The tooth beast Salome, who was originally standing, immediately sat down, and its length advantage made it immediately rise two meters higher again. Standing in front of it, Saliman waved his fist as if he were a young child!
Although Salome the Tooth Beast made no provocation, this move made the height contrast between the two even more embarrassing. The one-eyed sandman Saliman, whose face was red with anger, raised his head and glared at Salome the Tooth Beast. After a beautiful moment, it suddenly released its breath, causing Salome, the tooth beast who couldn't withstand the pressure, to be crushed in front of it!
The proud Saliman burst out laughing, Salome, the tooth beast with a depressed but not angry look in his eyes, turned his head and let out a bitter whine, while Raymond shook his head with a wry smile. At this time, he had completed collecting the data he needed, and explained to the manticore. "Shaliman and the tooth beast Salome will return to the camp with you. I will leave the city before the coalition reinforcements arrive!"
After the manticore left with some reluctance, Saliman and the tooth beast Salome, Raymond repeatedly checked the spatial coordinates calculated by the chip before, and then approached the south side of the Castle of Lanhai. The canyon releases a space door that is only the size of a palm. After completely energizing the body, he got in.
In this area where the space spoiler is located, even Raymond's strength can only enable him to teleport across a distance of more than a thousand meters, and the space breakthrough ability brought by his talent also allows him to only It can be used in this way.
Therefore, after he passed through the gate of space, he appeared in a corner of a block on the south side of the main city of Lanhai Castle.
The dark corner of the small street was covered with garbage and filth. A smelly underground ditch flowed into the underground water channel from here. Although Raymond had not been able to fully see the situation here before, he believed that this was just an area of the slums that was not noticed by people, so he chose the entry point here.
Because the body could only pass through the palm-sized space door after it was fully energized, so after Raymond entered smoothly, he still paused for a hundred breaths and waited for his body to fully recover from the discomfort of space transmission before he slowly walked away. come out.
Because there is a force field shield over the entire city, ordinary people will naturally not know that Lanhai Castle is under siege.
But because Raymond had strong doubts about the defense strength of Lanhai Castle, after entering, Raymond was not prepared to defeat the shield covering the entire city from the inside. Eventually he found a light carriage and asked the driver to take him to the main city.
The driver sitting in front of the carriage turned his head and said with a smile after he made the carriage start to move forward slowly. "Sir, the main city has been closed ten days ago. Unless you have access permission to get close, the city guards will arrest you..."
Raymond pretended not to know anything. After leaning on the not-so-soft chair, he looked at the scenery outside the car window and asked casually. "Oh, did something happen in the city?"
"Yes, it is said that many magical beasts have broken into the canyon. In order to prevent the people from being harmed, not only the city gates were closed, but the city lord Trini also mobilized all the city guards..."
The enthusiastic and cheerful coachman introduced the situation of Lanhai Castle very happily. From his description, Raymond realized that the news that the Warcraft formed a coalition to besiege this place was blocked, and although the city guards were They were dispatched, but they did not enter a state of war.
The main city, located in the center of the city on the north and south sides, was closed due to the order of the city lord, making it impossible to pass between the two cities, causing a lot of inconvenience.
But when Raymond asked about the situation of the city lord Trini, the driver actually talked about the city lord incessantly. Although they were all trivial things, the kind of excitement contained in his tone The admiration and gratitude made Raymond feel a little puzzled.
Because whether it is the underground plane or the inland cities in the surface world, the city lord who is respected as a wizard rarely appears in front of ordinary people, let alone the news related to the city lord will be known to the city residents.
Of course, this does not mean that the lord of a city will not manage the entire city, but because the city lord will control the entire city through his attendants and the stewards of the city lord's palace, and because of his nature as a wizard , and most of the city lords only have word-of-mouth or rumors among the wizard class, and will never let this information spread among ordinary people.
Because of doubts, after Raymond asked the coachman to take him to a neighborhood near the city lord's palace, Raymond pretended to be curious and asked the coachman to continue introducing the situation about the city lord Trini.
"At first glance, you look like an outsider. Lord Trini, the Lord of the Castle of Lanhai, is completely different from other wizards, because he is an orphan adopted by the old Lord in the slums. Although those people were all I don’t dare to talk about the past of the city lord Trini, but any old resident of the Castle of the Sea knows it well..."
Following the carriage driver's introduction, the light carriage, which was not very fast, quickly entered the main city on the south side of the Castle of the Sea after leaving the previously dirty slum area.
Clean and tidy streets and alleys, passers-by with relaxed and comfortable expressions, shopkeepers soliciting business on both sides, coolies carrying heavy loads, housewives shopping with baskets, and even the idle men on the street They all seemed gentle and polite, making this city feel extremely peaceful and comfortable to Raymond!
Yes, that’s what it feels like!
Staring at the strange city outside the car window, Raymond's mood calmed down unconsciously, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Because he has never seen a city like this before. Everything is so peaceful. Is it really so?
