Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

The seven towers shimmered with dampness, like the sweat of a dying man, highlighting the unhealthy pale color of the stone. From the tallest tower in the middle of the castle, a fine mist floated in the wind. Is it my imagination, or did I actually hear a hint of laughter in the wind…

"not too good."

The curved castle tower looks like a rheumatic paw thrust into the clouds. A dead-grey light shines from a high window, contrasting sharply with the dark green-gray color of the city walls. The tops of the towers looked like they could barely withstand a slight breeze, let alone a storm. The whole place looked lifeless and desolate, a ruin fit only for dead people and scavenging birds...

How many yards away does the main body of the castle appear to have been moved? Do weathervanes look like other shapes? Why can't I remember what I saw before...

"My writer, it's time for us to set off." Colonia hugged Tolandir's shoulders and said softly.

"That tower..." Tolandir, who stopped recording, hesitated for a moment and asked Colonia, who was close at hand. He wanted to kiss her, but in the end, this idea did not take actual action.

"We'll find out when we get in."

"Too."

Now, there are two roads in front of Darkus, one leads to the castle from below, and the other leads to the main entrance of the castle along a rugged path from the edge of the cliff. He chose the second path without hesitation. Although he was familiar with the first path, he didn't want to experience it again.

The ropes were constantly secured to prevent members of the team from slipping and sliding directly down the hillside. The team kept moving forward and soon arrived at a location not far from the main entrance of the castle.

Darkus took a look and found that the outer city wall was about 7 meters high and 1.5 meters thick. As he passed by, he could see a buttressed wooden plank road behind the city wall. The strong winds and heavy rains in the area seriously eroded the wood, causing the wooden plank road to become deformed. It is no longer safe and unsuitable for large groups to pass through.

There are many arrow holes on the outer wall of the castle, but during the passage of the team, there were no undead beings to attack the team. Darkus thought this might be because of the Battle of Altdorf. The undead army that attacked the southern city at that time did not all run as fast as Mr. De. After all, the core corpse transport trucks had entered the city and stayed at Sigma. On the church square.

Castle interior The castle windows are made of heavy leaded glass with cross-shaped lead bars. Even if the heavy curtains hanging behind the windows are open, they don't let in much light and don't let anyone see very clearly through them.

"Is there anyone in the castle spying on us?"

"Yes, Peep, I feel it too."

Darkus did not participate in the discussion. After waving to Kalien, he took out the prepared tactical board from his satchel and started drawing. While he was drawing, the casters applied buffs to the Disaster Walker chariot, and then the chariot set off under the watchful eyes of the team.

The Disaster Walker chariot kept moving and moving under Kalien's superb driving skills. Drusala, who was holding on to the edge of the chariot, felt like she was about to be vomited. She looked behind the city wall for a while, then turned to look at Kalien who was concentrating on driving the chariot. She swallowed back what she wanted to say before, and then continued He looked at the city wall intently.

"There is no need for detection anymore, go back." After the unicycle maneuvered for a moment, Drusala shook his head and said.

"Follow your orders." Kalien said as he began to turn the chariot.

The Disaster Walker, like the Shantung Confucius encountered by Band of Brothers during the Battle of City Garden, headed in the direction of the team. There were no British and American coalition forces, no tanks and guns, and no bazooka. The tank drove back safely.

"That's probably it." Darkus tapped the tactical board at the team leaders surrounding him, and he continued, "Now, each of you will receive the tactical mission."

"I'll do this."

"this."

"I'll do this."

"Let's get started!" Soon, the tasks were handed out one by one. Darkus nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the spellcasters.

Before coming, Darkus had already divided into groups. He was a whole team, not just a few risk-seeking adventurers. There was no need for him to explore one by one. Being good at CBQ, he knew that this would cause an embarrassing situation. When a fierce battle broke out inside the house, the people outside could only stop in the corridor and act as cheerleaders, which would last forever. Therefore, he had divided the combat teams in advance, and they were prepared from both near and far, equipped with physics and magic, and could deal with various complex situations.

De Ye can destroy the city gate of Altdorf, and the spellcasters can also destroy the city gate of Longyan Castle. As the door disappears and the magic fog appears, the combat team forms a tight formation and heads towards the door. rushed in the direction. Darkus, who was holding the shield, charged behind Franais, who was holding the walking barrier. There was no arrow rain, no magic bombardment, and the journey was smooth.

When the combat team entered the castle, most of those who followed also formed a dense formation and pressed towards the city gate. Their main task is to eliminate large groups of enemy troops that may appear, such as orcs, cult followers, or demons.

The inner courtyard was paved with cobblestones, which forced the various combat groups to slow down.

"This is not normal, sir...if I am not wrong..."

"Um?"

"It's probably made up of small pieces of fat residue..."

"Okay." Darkus interrupted Ren's words.

Dacus could clearly feel that the cobblestones were a bit greasy, as if they were covered with a layer of grease. This was not normal. If he ran at the maximum speed, he would easily fall. Thinking of something, he lowered his head involuntarily, as if he was possessed. At that moment, he regretted it. He didn't know why he lowered his head so madly. He would rather not have such good eyesight. He saw the suggestive and recognizable fragments of human remains in the gaps between the cobblestones.

After cursing in a low voice, Dacus did not stop and rushed straight to the predetermined location.

"It just died not long ago, sir, someone has been here, and it is very likely in the castle." Franais, who rarely speaks on weekdays, said.

"Maybe, we will know in a while, right? Come, give me a hand." After turning the corner, the remains of a mule appeared in front of Dacus. Just as Franais said, the mule had just died, its abdomen was torn open, its internal organs disappeared without a trace, and the mule's face was full of horror. He leaned against the wall, glanced at Ryan who was holding a shield against the door, and then nodded to Franes who was leaning on the other side.

The door was slowly pushed open by the handle of the weapon, and Ryan who was facing the door did not start shooting. Franes turned his head and looked at Ryan, then rushed into the gatehouse with his shield raised. There was nothing, only some rotten wooden chairs and tables, a few crossbow quivers and a pile of human skeletons. It was obvious that these skeletons without clothes and armor should be skeleton soldiers who had lost energy support.

Dakus was the last to go in. He looked at the combat teams rushing to each tower and then entered the gatehouse, walking up the clockwise stairs.

The stairs of the castle are usually designed in a clockwise direction, that is, entering the stairs from the left and walking to the right. The advantage of this design is that the attacker cannot launch an effective close-range attack, and the weapon held in the right hand cannot be used, which is commonly known as a stuck knife, while the defender waiting at the corner can easily launch an attack. Of course, this design is actually useless, the enemies have appeared on the stairs...

Darkius, who came to the second floor, saw Talos and his team in charge of the opposite side through the corridor above the city gate. Without saying anything, they nodded to each other and took their own actions. He could see that there were many shooting holes on the floor of the corridor connecting the guard rooms on both sides of the city gate. These shooting holes were used by defenders to shoot attackers attacking the city gate. There were also several barrels of hardened kerosene and a metal barrel with a hinged lid on the corridor.

Arohan, who was following Talos' team, used an arrow to pick open the barrel lid, and a strong and pungent organic acid rushed into Darkius's nostrils.

"What is this?"

"A corrosive acidic liquid will corrode wood or leather. Okay, there's nothing to see. I don't recommend you put your hand in it."

After speaking, Darkius left. The wooden trapdoor leading to the city wall on his team's side had been destroyed by Drusala's magic, and the city wall was covered with small puddles and moss spots. He lay on the outer wall and looked at the large army that was entering in a line, then looked at the main castle, and then he quickly followed.

"Hey, he's gone, don't look." Talos said to Alohan who was still stunned. As a person who had experienced it, he knew what Alohan was thinking.

The entire Longyan Castle consists of six high towers surrounding the city wall and the main structure in the center. If the city gate is the horizontal central axis, the six high towers are arranged in three upper and three lower positions. The entire castle has only one gate, and there is no gate or tower in the city wall area opposite the gate.

Dakuus took a quick look. The tower he was responsible for was nearly 25 meters high, while the tower Talos was responsible for was 30 meters high. The six towers were of different lengths. The tower that Celile was responsible for was nearly 36 meters high, and the diameters and lengths of these towers were also different. The six towers plus the main body looked like a wretched multi-fingered, clawed hand, grabbing the sky, which was indescribably weird and twisted.

"I have a strange feeling? I obviously ate."

"I have prepared food in my bag, do you need a bite?" Genevieve patted her bag while speaking.

"Are you hungry?" Daquus, who came last, asked his companions standing on guard on both sides. When he approached the tower he was responsible for, his stomach made a rumbling sound. After seeing his companions nod except Genevieve, he raised his head and frowned as he looked at the tower. He found that Dragon Rock Castle seemed to be more weird than he thought.

"I can feel that this tower is alive."

As Drusala's voice fell, the door was opened. A standard guard room, full of bones, arrows and furniture debris. The trap door on the floor was intact, and the spiral staircase leading to the top was unobstructed.

"Dear, I can sense that there are things above and below."

"Go down first, open it." Daquus nodded at the trap door on the ground and said.

There were six skeletons in the basement locked around a half-collapsed wooden table, on which a silver plate was placed with rotten food and leftovers. When the team came to the basement along the ladder, it was like a switch was triggered, the skeletons twisted their bodies and bit their loose jaws eagerly, but they were locked there tightly and could not escape.

"It's so sad, end their suffering, and you can take care of the rest." Dacus, who was lying on the ladder, took a look and had no desire to continue climbing. After giving an order, he climbed up again.

After receiving the order, the Huangqi Shadow Hunters raised their leaf hammers and smashed them against the skeletons trapped there. The silver tableware worth Sovereign points was then cleaned up.

Exploration and plundering are all about a process. Besides, mosquito meat is also meat. If you gather more of it, everyone can share some of it. At least it’s not in vain, and no one will think they have too much money.

The second floor above the guard room was empty, with nothing there, but it was different on the third floor. There is a large dining table in the room with 10 huge wooden chairs. Under each chair is a skeleton, their arms cuffed to the legs of the chair.

"Is there something wrong with this?" Darkus felt that the scene in front of him was a bit strange. In his opinion, most Druchi couldn't do this kind of work, only those who were extremely sick and hysterical. can be compared with it.

The shackled skeleton could only lie on the dining table. In front of these diners was a set of gorgeous silverware and crystal tableware, but no matter how hard these diners tried and stretched their heads forward, they could not touch the tableware.

However, this time, unlike in the basement, the chains were not as secure. After Darkus and the others watched for a moment, the two skeletons moved, trying to pull the rusty iron handcuffs they were trapped in from the chair legs and launch an attack.

"Wait a minute, don't worry." Darkus first stopped the attacking Huangqi Shadow Hunters, and then said to Genevieve, "Can you try throwing a piece of meat?"

Although Genevieve didn't quite understand what Darkus meant, she still took out a piece of wrapped meat from her bag. Originally, she was going to throw the whole piece over, but when she was throwing it out, she hesitated. She cooked the meat last night. She broke the meat in half, and after putting half of the meat in her satchel, she threw the other piece of meat over.

Then, something strange happened. The skeleton who was still pulling on the iron handcuffs stopped when he saw the meat, sat up, hugged the meat and started to chew. The other skeleton also saw the meat, but it had no chance. It struggled more fiercely and kept being incompetent and furious. However, the skeleton eating the meat had no idea of ​​sharing.

Genevieve's hand reached for her satchel again, and she looked at Darkus.

Darkus shook his head speechlessly.

The meat was torn, and the pieces kept falling on the table along the skeleton's chin. The eating skeleton seemed not to realize this, and kept eating. The skeleton didn't realize anything until the meat around its mouth disappeared. It lowered its head and looked at the fragments on the dining table, and then fell directly into madness.

"Show me I'm hungry." Ren said in a joking tone, and swallowed after finishing speaking.

"You can pick it up and eat it." Darkus glanced at Renn speechlessly, then waved his arms and continued, "Waste is shameful, let's end this farce."

"Ugh... vomit... vomit..."

"?" Darkus's eyes were full of doubts. The Huangqi Shadow Hunter froze at the moment of the attack. He raised his head and stared blankly at the transparent stone on the ceiling. After a while, he began to hold on to the wall and vomited.

"Did you see something? A vision?"

"Master... Sir, I..." Huangqi Shadowhunter wiped the vomit from the corner of his mouth and stammered about what happened just now.

As Darkus expected, the Huangqi Shadow Hunter, who was originally a guard of the Hell Calamity Family, did see an illusion, and this illusion was extremely real. Huangqi Shadow Hunter could even smell the aroma of barbecue filling the room. He raised his head and saw a particularly fat human on the roof. The human kept cutting pieces of meat from the corpse of a multi-legged chaotic creature.

While the skeletons struggled desperately to reach the meat, the Fat Man floated down from the ceiling and, like an angel, he placed a piece of meat on each plate and asked: Are you ready to eat? Is this what you desire? Is this what you expected? Is this the help you need?

The skeletons couldn't touch the flesh, but the fat man happily stuffed every helping into his mouth, and then wiped the skulls of the skeletons with the juice on his hands. Of course, he is also kind. Occasionally, he will hand out a small portion of food. The skeletons who get the food will chew and swallow furiously, but the result is just like what Darkus saw before, no success and no full stomach. want. Skeletons have no stomach or esophagus, only an uncontrollable desire to eat.

"I can only say that you have experienced too little." Darkus patted Huangqi Shadowhunter on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go up and take a look."

There was nothing upstairs, no fat man, no corpse of a multi-legged chaotic creature, just nothing. However, Darkus did not think that the Huangqi Shadow Hunter was hysterical. It was obvious that this tower had something to say, otherwise his stomach would not have been growling, as if he had not eaten in the morning. It should be some kind of test. The Huangqi Shadow Hunter was hit and failed the test, so he saw the illusion.

Just like what Darkus said, he still has too little experience. If ordinary adventurers come here, they will probably be in trouble. After breaking away from the illusion, those shackled skeletons should surround the adventurers. Beside him, he was eating adventurers...

In addition to harvesting hunger, the team also gained new trophies. A conservative estimate of the gorgeous silverware and crystal tableware is about 20 imperial crowns. The total of 10 is... not in vain.

"What are you doing?" Darkus, who came to the courtyard again, asked Talos, who was sitting on the ground without any image and panting. He felt that his head was covered with sweat and his hair was already soaked. Talos had experienced something extraordinary. It was as if he did not enter the tower at this time, but instead trotted along the path he came from after separation, all the way to Wu. Borric, then running back from Ulbric, appeared in front of him.

"There's a problem." Talos gasped after finishing the water.

"Tell me about it." Darkus squatted on the ground, and without any image, took the half of the meat that Genevieve had put in the bag and gnawed it.

The tower Talos went to was unlocked, but the thick wooden door had an annoying magic mechanism. Anyone who touched it would be blown apart by the mechanism on the door, leaving only a skeleton lying on the door. However, this is not a problem, Liv discovered the problem and disarmed the trap.

The room was filled with rotten furniture and wooden boxes, as well as a large number of crossbows that had long been unusable. The basement was flooded with damp, smelly water, and some moldy bones were scattered above the water.

The spiral staircase is so narrow that only one person can pass through it. During the process of passing, he also encountered an ambusher. Two extremely cunning skeleton crossbowmen occupied a favorable position. After the long-range attack failed, they used a melee attack. , these were all blocked back by Talos who was in front. At that time, he had not noticed the problem.

After passing the stairs, the room is full of decay like the one below, and the same is true for the third floor. Different from the tower that Darkus went to, the top of the tower that Talos went to needed to climb a ladder, but this was not a problem for the elves. The team did not climb the stairs that could collapse at any time, but used The arrow shot up the rope, and Talos felt something was wrong as he climbed. The moment he pushed open the trap door, he felt like he was about to collapse.

Then, Talos no longer felt it. He was attacked. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and barely managed to avoid it. The top of the tower is covered with guano, feathers, broken bones and strips of cloth. A pair of eagles have built a nest here, and they can just get in and out of the narrow windows.

When Arohan climbed up, one of the eagles had already died under Talos's dagger, and the other one got out of the window and escaped without any thought of revenge for its partner. In addition to a pile of odds and ends, he found a pile of coins and a pair of small topaz rings. Liv buffed him with a spell, but he almost fell when he slid down, but he managed to catch it.

Liv's magic had no effect at all in the tower. The longer it stayed, the stronger the negative gains became. An almost unbearable feeling of weakness kept attacking the members of the team. In the end, they could only help Walk along the wall.

"Tower of Fatigue? Well, yes, Tower of Fatigue, mine is the Tower of Hunger." Darkus, who had eaten all the meat, clapped his hands and said. Just when he was about to say something and express condolences, Se Leary appeared.

"It's a bit cold." Selilei, who was carrying a halberd, said to Darkus. He couldn't help but shudder at the same time.

"My uncle, do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Darkus joked, knowing that Selire should also encounter something strange in that tower. (End of chapter)
