Chapter 48 The Great Rift (3)
"Humans themselves do not have the ability to see night vision." Claudia was unwilling to believe that she was exposed for this reason.
"But there is a son of nature, neither Dante nor Elwin asked, but you asked." It was through this that Link confirmed that Claudia was a traitor.
There are only a very few people who can accurately grasp the mission time and route of patrol scouts, and the scout commander happened to be one of them. At the first glance when he saw her, Link once suspected that she was a traitor. After all, the bloodline of the half-elves is too eye-catching. But then he thought that it is not easy for a woman, especially a woman with night elf blood. Night elf who pays attention to bloodline will not easily accept half-elves. Once the identity of the traitor is exposed, she will not be able to gain a foothold on the surface. In addition, because Bishop Chenxi insists that the traitor is in the Revenge Army, Link did not list Claudia as a suspicious target.
So when he heard her night vision, Link was so surprised that he didn't say anything for several seconds, and his pause was regarded as a reflection by others.
"You have been warned not to underestimate him."
A third voice sounded in the darkness. As soon as Link turned his neck, Claudia's dagger pressed down. Even if he didn't look at his face, he could guess who the person was based on the sound alone.
The night elves in black leather armor quietly walked to the light, and the firelight from the cave ahead illuminated his face. Unlike the glowing elves of order that give people nobility and elegance and holiness that cannot be desecrated, the evil elves who believe in the goddess of the night have the ultimate seductive charm, especially in the darkness, which can more and more highlight their mysterious beauty.
"We're meeting again, Isol's messenger." The elf's right hand covered her chest lightly and her upper body bent forward slightly.
"Long time no see, Yatis. Maybe I should change my name to you." Link was not surprised by his appearance.
"The name is real, and the position is real." Yatis and Claudia were very close, and their similar facial features proved their relationship.
"Why not kill me?"
Yatis grinned, "We are still neighbors who are not against each other until things are done."
This is of course a lie. The gods can convey their power to the material world through messengers. The reason why they really don’t kill Link is because they are afraid of God’s punishment.
But can a small dagger trap the Son of Nature? The answer is no, even if it is highly poisonous. Yatis and Claudia rely on their skills. The two masters and dark environments are the root of their confidence. Through the information obtained by the spider web and the recruits test of Longyan Fort, it is confirmed that Link is just a candidate and has only some simple gains. As long as you control him before the plan is successful, it is enough.
"It seems you missed something." Since you already realized at Longyan Fort, Claudia was a traitor, Link naturally made a countermeasure.
"Are you referring to Alwin or Dante? Or, that wind falcon?" Claudia sneered.
"The Son of Nature never acts alone, nor do I have only one follower."
Link's words made Yatis slightly turn: "Damn it! Where is that wolf?"
"He only took Fengxiao to Longyan Fort."
Just as Claudia was distracted, Link activated the Qi transformation technique, and his whole body turned into a gust of wind and slipped out of the half-elf's hands.
Yatis raised his hand crossbow and shot at the flowing air in a row, but Link's purpose was not to escape, but to float to the center of the cave, appearing in front of orcs and dwarfs in the posture of a white deer. The sound of digging and scolding stopped, and everyone looked at the white creatures that suddenly appeared, and Yatis and Claudia who were chasing him blocked the passage from one after another.
The first thing that came to the reaction was the dwarfs, who were so excited that they shouted loudly. Doesn’t it mean that the Alliance of Nature has discovered the abnormality here? They are saved!
The orcs waved their whip angrily, and even the pain of the whip could not allow the slave to work again.
"Please don't do anything wrong. Our clan uses killer moves. If you are not careful..." Before Yatis finished speaking, the big horn on Link's head began to shine, and then the entire cave began to shake violently.
Claudia threw a dagger, and what she didn't expect was that Link did not use any protection. The dagger cut through the skin and sprinkled a blood mark on the ground.
"Do you want to try the power of God's Punishment? Not to mention the tunnel you dug secretly, Isol's power can easily destroy a city." Link once saw records of "God's Punishment" in the library, and there are also many species in history who were punished by the gods of nature for killing the sons of nature.
Yatis had a gloomy face. He thought he had figured out the selected person from human origin, but he never expected that he would use his life to threaten them.
"You really think I'm going to swagger into the enemy's territory without any preparation? I guess the druids of the Pillar of the Land have already known your evil plan at this time."
"He is lying!" Claudia's voice had an unconcealed anger: "I secretly observed him all day long, and no other followers except Feng Falcon."
"Hehe... Longyan Castle is not the only one who is a spy."
Link's words successfully blocked Claudia's mouth. She got into the commander of Longyan Fort, of course she knew how complex the power of the fortress was. Dwarves, elves, humans, Morning Sect, Hornheim, the Old Imperial Army, three species, three forces, and even the Nature Alliance also installed half-elves eyeliners like Elwin that would not touch the bottom line.
What Yatis thought of was the alliance agreement that the guardian of the Earth Pillar came to Aiden a few days ago and concluded with Bishop Chenxi. Could it be that he went to Longyan Fort to avoid the pursuit of the undead?
"Do you really think I went to Longyan Castle to escape Frost Cold?" As if you knew what Yatis was thinking, Link suddenly raised his voice, "I really think your plan is foolproof and unforgettable? Hull had long noticed the abnormality here! The Demon Lord and the Lich King appeared on the two southwest borders of the guardian land one after another. What is there here that interests them? There is only one Longyan Castle that resists orcs!"
Before we knew it, the noise of the dwarf stopped, and the empty lava cave was so quiet that only breathing sounds.
"Leave here! I don't like fighting, but if you think I am weak and can be bullied, then I will prove my determination to maintain balance by fighting for depravity." With Link's shouting, the cave shook violently again, and in addition to the sand and stones, large stones kept falling.
Yatis's expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth last: "Retreat!"
He did not dare to take the risk of killing Link. He wanted to restore his status as a nobleman and become a superior, rather than a divine punishment. Anyway, this plan failed this time and it was not his own fault. When he was held accountable, he could turn the blame on the undead. Originally, the high priest was not optimistic about this plan at the beginning of the planning. He was too close to the pillar of the earth, and even with the assistance of the God of Shadow, it might not be able to hide it from Isol. The power gap between the second generation and the first generation was too large.
Claudia was very unwilling to give up. She tried her best and took decades to gain her current status. She thought she could get her first merit through this merit, but she was fully accepted by the night elves, but now she was completely ruined. Not only Longyan Fort, there was no place for her to live on the surface.
He glared at Link with hatred, and Claudia followed Yatis and disappeared in the darkness.
Confirm that the night elf really left, Link stopped the Earthquake.
This is just a magical technique that lies in its own ten meters. With this power alone, it is not enough to collapse the hard rock tunnel. It is thanks to Yatis and Claudia that his adventure plan was successful.
As soon as the vibration stopped, dozens of dwarfs ran towards Link with iron picks as if they had agreed. The orc guards looked at each other with whips, and no one dared to go up and ask for trouble. Just as Link wanted to scare away the orcs in the same way, the sound of messy footsteps came from the lava tunnel to the west, and there were still a lot of them. Soon, a group of orcs holding weapons rushed into the cave, and the leader was the orcs dressed in chief that Link had seen in the divine knowledge.
Seeing the white deer incarnation representing Isol, Urgit's face turned pale in an instant.
After careful planning and implementation for so long, it still failed.
"Leave here!" Link was a little panicked. He was not confident that while protecting the dwarf, he could defeat a large number of enemies.
Not only did Urjit not retreat, he also plucked up the courage to walk forward.
"The messenger of the earth, we did not intend to destroy the balance." Urjit knew that the sons of nature would not intervene because of enslaving dwarfs and causing war. They only care about the balance between species and the world.
"Seeing it is true, you are ready for a battle in the camp." Link imposed various buffing skills on himself, and soon it was time to reset the spell position. No matter what conspiracy they had, they could not escape the premonition of God's knowledge.
"We do not covet the rich inland. We do this entirely for survival. The poisonous gas and flames of the abyss continue to erode the surface, the land is cracked, the water is exhausted, and the plants no longer grow." Urjit spread his hands, signaled that he did not carry a weapon, and showed his due respect to the gods.
Link didn't believe the orc chief's explanation, and he even suspected that the undead had a kick.
"The big rift has existed for decades, why not sooner or later, but now? When the Northern War was at its most critical and fiercest time? Even if there were no big rifts, the Kaogo wasteland itself was drought and was not suitable for living. Why did the orcs attack Longyan Fort year after year if they didn't want to enter the inland?"
Urjit was stunned, and then thought of the information shared by the night elves - the newly selected guardian of the Pillar of Earth was a human.
"Just like night elves who believe in darkness live only underground, orcs who believe in war gods can only live in the Kaogo wasteland. From thousands to tens of thousands, every war is a sacrifice dedicated to the gods."
Link obviously did not expect that the orcs would launch wars every few years as a sacrifice to the gods. He thought it was because of the climate that caused the orcs to fight with humans endlessly.
Urgit said that as long as Link can help them get rid of the demons that threaten the survival of the tribe, they will terminate their cooperation with the night elves, release all the dwarf slaves, and fill in the caves that have been dug.
"The undead and the demon were not involved?" Link secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it were just night elves and orcs, it would not be enough for the battle of the camp.
"It is because of the demon's threat that we have to cooperate with the night elves." Urjit shook his head.
"With my strength, I can't defeat the Demon Lord." It is good for the orc to agree to terminate the cooperation with the Night Elf, but Link is self-aware that he is not the opponent of the Demon Lord. Only this matter can be reported to Hull and the agent guardian will make the decision.
"Lord? No, no, the one who threatens our survival is not the Demon Lord. He is the former Dragon Knight Captain of Longyan Castle, and the Fallen Demon who was once called a hero."
The orc chief's words made Link scream: "Thunder?!"
