The Rise of the Cemetery

A key pass where the Kuroshio mercenary group is stationed.

The head of the Kuroshio mercenary regiment was arguing loudly with a surface mage full of resentment at this moment, but obviously did not get the desired result, so he could only watch helplessly as the surface mage slammed the door and left him behind. Sulked in the war room with 2 direct subordinates.

"Head, this won't work! We have already lost 27 people, and several camps and training points outside have been swept away by the enemy. The loss of personnel and materials is too serious. You see, it is really impossible, why don't the few outside Give up at all, send everyone here?..." A confidant suggested boldly.

The head of the group is a tall, thin and sturdy male drow, his dark skin is covered with sweaty oil, and a conspicuous old scar extends from the corner of his right eye to the corner of his mouth, adding a bit of fierceness to him. But at this moment, his eyes were full of helplessness.

These damned surface mages, who came here to send his troops around at will, never quite knowing what they were looking for. Every day, the 3 teams of mages drove his men to scatter left and right in this treacherous area, often going deep into some places that they were also worried about to perform some weird rituals. He also forced the Kuroshio mercenary group to cut off the traffic in the lower areas abruptly, saying that it was to create a quiet working environment for them.

Even if these arrogant, high-spirited surface pigs have the title of high-level mage, in his eyes, they still belong to the rookie Baiding who just graduated from the academy, and he didn't even need to take action himself, just throwing them in the dark The Underdark, where the many ferocious underground creatures could eat them alive.

It's a pity that under the strict order of that "adult", he can only pinch his nose and deal with the three teams of mage masters who are not very capable and tempered all day long. Fortunately, even the enemies of these mage masters came after them, and directly wiped out a team of mages who went out, and even caused him to damage several hidden camps and training points, but he didn't even hurt the enemy's hair .

The death of the 2 mages made the remaining 4 high-level mages panic. They stopped going out all day and just huddled in the pass leading to the deep region, clamoring every day that "reinforcements" are coming soon. Regardless of life and death outside.

Fuck, they don't care, but he, the head of the Kuroshio mercenary group, can't. Near here, there is also a secret lair that he has carefully built for many years. Once the enemy is set up by the enemy due to insufficient troops, he will feel distressed to death.

It's not worth it to do this task! After a few days, these sorcerers patted their buttocks and left, but I had to stay and clean up the mess. At least 10 years of blood were wasted.

The leader's eyes have been narrowed into a thin line, with a fierce light looming inside, his lean and powerful big hands are constantly rubbing the scar at the corner of his mouth, after careful consideration, he didn't adopt the suggestion of his subordinates, but directly asked his subordinates to explain the situation here. Report to the "adult".

With the development of the current situation, he no longer has the power to make a choice. He is just a puppet of that "adult", and such difficult choices should of course be made by "him". No matter how much the team suffers, it is "him" who should be most distressed, not him.

Soon, the "adult"'s reply letter arrived in his hands. After reading the magic message, the head of the Kuroshio mercenary group was at a loss at first, and then felt relieved.

"Let's go, gather the team immediately! We found the enemy near the old lair outside, this time we must not let the enemy run away again, gather the team immediately, and set off in a quarter of an hour!" The team leader slapped the table and ordered firmly, fierce There was a hint of gloating on Li's face.

"Isn't our lair..." A confidant didn't understand for a while, and was about to ask clearly, but was pulled lightly by the companion behind him, and shut his mouth knowingly.

After a while, the sound of people and horses mobilizing in the pass alarmed the four mages who were resting in the quiet room, and they rushed to the war room immediately.

"Your Excellency, your lord, I have reached an agreement. During this period of time, you must fully cooperate with our actions. I order you to immediately disband the team and guard this critical pass with all your strength! This is..." The person in charge contacted The high-ranking mage with an angry look on his face waved his arms and was about to apply further pressure when he was stopped by the head's vicious words.

"Huh, our base camp has sent back an alarm, and we have found traces of the enemy there. We can bear other losses, but that is our most important foothold. All food and supplies are stored there, and we will never Sit here and watch it fall into the hands of the enemy. So, here are a few master mages, I will lead my troops to drive away those bastards and come back as fast as possible!"

"you……"

Unable to say anything more from the high-level mage, the regiment leader waved his hand and led more than 80 drow warriors out of the solid pass made of rocks and into the dark underground tunnel. The departure of all the drow elite immediately made the pass appear empty. The head of the Kuroshio mercenary group only left 10 drow recruits for the 4 high-level mages. This number is not even enough to fill the pass.

The atmosphere in the pass immediately became tense, and the team going out to fight in the field may not be in danger, but those who stayed behind the strong pass became the most dangerous characters. The remaining 10 drow recruits look at me and I look at you. They entered the alert position silently, but looking at their cruising eyes, you know that a fierce battle is going to happen. They are not reliable. guardian.

The 4 high-ranking mages couldn't rest in peace anymore, they got together and quarreled for a long time, and finally decided to take turns to be on duty. There must be 2 mages under the pass fortress to keep vigilant at any time, so as to avoid the similar situation with those 2 unlucky ones. .

The unexpected division of the Kuroshio mercenary group did not hide the fact that the vampire swarms were wandering outside. Gorefiend had deployed bat sentries in some key positions early on, so he had a clear grasp of the specific situation of the opponent's division of troops, and at the same time was puzzled.

As long as the opponent defends the stone castle with all his strength, he has no choice but to use the flesh and blood of vampires to try to break open their gate, and obtain a possibility of breaking through at the cost of a large number of sacrifices of the team. . But now that they can wait for work at leisure, why do they have to carry out such a meaningless division of troops?

Could it be that they have a particularly important camp outside that needs to be defended, but that's not right!

Time is running out now, the Mage Guild's reinforcements may arrive at any time, how can I have the free time to play the game of slapping the east and the west. Besides, divide the troops and divide them! Why did they divide so resolutely that they took out most of the troops in the pass. Based on the information of the Kuroshio mercenary group that I have, there will be no more than 30 people in the pass.

Is this a division of troops, or do you take the initiative to expose your heart and let me poke it?

Perhaps a trap?

But time is running out, and the Gorefiend has no time to carefully distinguish what is false and what is real. casualties? Graveyard heroes never cared about casualties.

Therefore, half an hour after most of the Kuroshio mercenary group left the pass, the blood demon came with a group of vampires.

This was originally a narrow entrance leading to the lower area. The Kuroshio mercenary group used huge basalt stone barriers to form a pass. Only a long and deep corridor was left in the middle, and the stone walls were opened on both sides. Numerous shooting ports. At the end of the tunnel, a thick gate made of refined steel firmly blocked the way out, so that the attacking enemy could only bear the uninterrupted attacks in the pass here.

This arrangement was impeccable, but now there is a serious shortage of manpower. After the 4 drow fighters are arranged at the gate to defend closely, only 6 drow fighters can carry out long-range strikes on the enemy. Of course, there are 4 high-level mages. It's completely different. As long as these 10 drow warriors can temporarily block the enemy's advance, the 4 high-level mages will make that long passageway a place of burial for the enemy.

The torches placed on the outer wall of the pass were blown by the cold underground wind. The dim light flickered and cast a large shadow on the open space in front of the pass, like monsters from different worlds. May pounce on prey.

In the cold and empty underground space, any sound would be heard far, far away. The 10 drow warriors listened attentively to any sound outside, trying to find the enemy's traces in advance. But unfortunately, every time they relaxed, they would faintly hear some abnormal noises, but when they searched intently, they couldn't find any abnormalities.

The enemy has come.

All the drow present are sure of this. They are all family losers who have struggled in the underground world. Although they don't have much combat experience, they have a particularly keen sense of danger. But where is the enemy? Could they all be invisible?

The Gorefiend is crawling on the darkest cave ceiling above the pass at this moment. Behind him, more than a hundred vampire bats hang quietly on the stone wall of the cave ceiling, moving towards the pass little by little in the deep shadows. The furry hook claws will not make any noise when climbing on the stone wall, and the routes they pass are all places where the light cannot reach, so let the 10 drow warriors in the hidden place of the pass below stare out their eyes and don't think ahead. Discover their whereabouts.

The thick layer of leather on the vampire bat's body tightly wrapped them, preventing the drow's infrared vision from functioning.

In the corner where the drow warriors couldn't find it, the Gorefiend's body turned into a flowing liquid, gently crawled into the observation port reserved for the personnel inside the battle castle at the top of the pass, and then opened a small secret door from the inside. So, one after another, the vampire bats slipped into the pass without making a sound. According to the normal design, all positions should be guarded by soldiers, but today there is no one here, which creates the most favorable conditions for their infiltration.
