Chapter 400 The Silent Seaside
Lorraine was still unfamiliar with controlling the Shadow Soul-Eating Werewolves, so ordering them to track Ced's trail was perfectly appropriate...
Lorraine planted the vengeful spirit mark in advance, a habit he developed after experiencing life and death many times... It was also an experiment, selecting special vengeful spirits to subtly attach themselves to living people or hide in objects, so that ordinary people, including the elites of the Sunreaver squad, could not detect it.
That's right. After escaping and waking up in the treasure vault, Lorraine secretly released her spies, and everyone present was marked by Lorraine.
Including Terra...
He also secretly slipped a considerable amount of gold into the chests the Sunreamers were carrying away... He wanted to find out where they were taking the treasure... to indirectly assess the danger around them through his teammates...
Defenses can not do without!
This is one of the teacher's teachings.
Being prepared and taking precautions is the key to turning misfortune into good fortune!
......
With over thirty perfect werewolf lackeys, Lorraine was in high spirits, directing them to search everywhere, leaving no corner untouched... Unfortunately, the mayor and his men seemed to have taken away the useful supplies originally hidden in the underground tunnels ahead of time.
In some places, food and drinking water were deliberately destroyed...and the entrances to the caves were blocked.
After the dogs dug around frantically, the obstacle was easily broken through.
With both hands severed, the roadblocks he created were insignificant... His combat strength was very weak, almost like that of an ordinary human... He had always relied on his uncle, the town mayor, to bully others.
Greedy and lustful, Said was just an insignificant descendant in the mayor's Bonn family back then.
Unfortunately, after the tragedy of Lordaeron, even the great noble families with vast territories, including the royal Menethil family, the Barov family, and the Agamander family, were reduced to less than one-tenth of their population. For small and medium-sized noble families like the Bonn family, survival was almost impossible.
After Arthas murdered his father and destroyed his kingdom, the mayor of Born somehow survived. When he searched for his relatives, all that remained was the mediocre and incompetent Seid.
After Born became the mayor of Hillsbrad, the town became a refuge for the nearby humans after the Scourge and Plague.
Syed was a powerful figure in Hillsbrad, and even became the militia captain.
Militia Captain Said—if the teacher were sober, he certainly wouldn't forget this rural nobleman he had given a good beating... It was with this man's help that Rolin was able to sneak into the kitchen to successfully poison the dog, scout out the surrounding route, and preemptively administer the lethal drug to the puppy.
A lot has indeed happened over the course of a day and a night.
Lorraine remarked that, apart from Mr. Marcus and Major William, who had dined with the teacher, this Syed was one of the few 'old friends' he could count on.
Unfortunately, Saide didn't recognize Lorraine.
The fate of Syed, the militia captain of Hillsbrad Foothills, seemed sealed, much like that of most of the town's civilians...death. Syed had a chance to escape; his uncle repeatedly told him not to return to town, but to wait until the turmoil subsided before retrieving the money from the underground vault...
This kid has been eyeing his uncle's treasure trove for a long time. He can't afford to wait even a second longer. Expecting him to calmly hide and then come back to retrieve the treasure is simply impossible.
Saide walks right into the trap, risking his life to open the mayor's treasure vault.
He fell right into the hands of Terra and his group, and now, taking advantage of the chaos, he slipped into the tunnel and escaped towards the sea.
It was as if he chose the path to hell when there was one... Lorraine sensed Saed's location after only a few minutes of walking. After moving rapidly, Saed seemed to stop.
For the next few minutes, Said remained motionless. Lorraine guessed that the kid was either in danger or trapped!
The signals that vengeful spirits transmit when they attach themselves to living things and dead things are different.
Lorraine has confirmed that Said is still alive, but his life force is growing weaker and weaker, indicating that he is clearly injured... With both hands severed, Said is probably even less capable of fighting. What did he encounter at the entrance of the tunnel?
Lorraine rushed over to check, and was protected by more than thirty werewolves in front of and behind him.
Terra was also kept at a distance, but she followed silently, bandaging her wounds and drinking healing potions to restore her magic power... In the dark tunnel, a faint miner's lamp illuminated the surroundings.
Lorraine's silhouette was always elusive, appearing and disappearing indistinctly.
Terra was shocked by Lorraine's certainty about the location and route of the prisoners' escape; she didn't understand Lorraine's methods. She was even more puzzled: how had Lorraine broken free of the monkey ball?
She wanted to ask, but she didn't have time.
As he sprinted forward to catch up with Lorraine...
Terra had a feeling that Lorraine would disappear from her sight again at any moment. She couldn't let such an important 'guest' disappear before her eyes again, so she could only try to speed up and chase after Lorraine, the guest hunter who was leading thirty werewolf babies.
This made Terra, who was used to being the captain and in charge of everything, very uncomfortable...
For the first time in hundreds of years, Captain Terra, the battle mage, had been so disheveled... Being rescued by such an ugly fellow as Lorraine would probably surprise even her teacher, Archmage Romans, the Blood Elf Chief Mage.
Another thing that made Terra very angry was that Lorraine actually destroyed Terra's Magic Monkey Ball!
"He has no idea of its value... I demand he pay for it! The Bloodstone Egg! Nothing but that will do!"
Terra made her decision in secret!
......
Meanwhile, amidst the chaos and carnage of the outside world, what is the true state of the Jade Mine, humanity's most vital asset located on the outskirts of Hillsbrad Foothills near the sea?
On the eve of launching Operation Storm, they learned that the mayor of Hillsbrad was rebelling!
[The Sword of Tranquility] Former Silver Hand and later a devout paladin of the Scarlet Crusade, Leylan, now the militia captain of Southshore, led a group of men to besiege [the enemy].
Two days have passed, and Southshore, the lakeside camp, and the surrounding Alliance scouts have not received any news from the Jade Mine.
Initially, upon arrival, Mayor Bourne led the resistance against capture, and the area around the jade mine was teeming with Hillsbrad's elite militia...
Rayleigh's troops are locked in fierce fighting and even require urgent reinforcements...
Unfortunately, Major William was too busy to provide support; he had to deal with the major trouble caused by Lorraine in Hillsbrad. The main force's advance was progressing smoothly, and the army had long since reached the vicinity of Brier...
No one had the energy to care about the situation of Lieutenant Rayleigh's counterinsurgency squad.
In reality, Lieutenant Rayleigh, the man who had clashed with Lorraine in Southshore three days prior, along with his troops, vanished into thin air within the Jade Mine... They received no reinforcements, nor did they receive any news of the capture of Mayor Bonn, who had betrayed the Alliance, back to Southshore...
Everything is a bit strange...
