After finding a dense patch of grass, Lu Li hid the boat inside, and the group stepped onto the lake shore.
They didn't immediately set off for Stone Castle Stronghold. They didn't know what was going on there, so they decided to find Mayor Solomon's spy, Brubaker, before making any further plans.
After searching for a while, Lu Li discovered that a branch of a big tree near the lake had been shaved off with a knife. There was a vague mark of a plum blossom on it, just as Mayor Solomon had described.
Following the direction of the mark, Lu Li and the others soon found the second mark.
It seemed that this scout was quite cautious. Only veterans like Keeshan and the others would be able to understand what he was doing, and there were no tracks on the ground at all.
Just like that, they searched the lakeside for more than ten minutes. Keeshan, who was walking in front, suddenly crouched down and clenched his fist in a gesture to stop them from moving forward.
None of them dared to breathe too loudly. Then, they crawled forward and imitated Keeshan's actions, peering through the gaps in the grass.
F * ck!
Lu Li's throat was a little itchy. He took a step to the side and stood in front of Water Fairy.
Water Fairy wanted to go forward to see what was going on, but Lu Li blocked her view. Then she heard him say in a low voice, "Don't look, the orcs are roasting Brubaker on the fire."
Water Fairy's body trembled. She reached out and grabbed Lu Li's clothes, but she didn't force herself to look. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

Outside the bushes was a temporary Beastmen camp. A few Beastmen were resting around a bonfire, and a naked human was hanging from a rack over the fire. His skin was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. His fat sizzled as it dripped into the fire, and there was a faint aroma of roasted meat in the air. This was probably how Keeshan had deduced that something was amiss.
Lu Li had just taken a quick glance at Brubaker's face, and the hideous expression of pain on his charred face was imprinted in his mind.
He didn't know why the game designers would design such a scene. It was easy to leave a bad impression on the players. Those with poor mental fortitude would definitely scream at the first sign of danger.
After all, Water Fairy was a girl. From another perspective, Lu Li didn't want his sister to see such a tragedy in his life, so he subconsciously held Water Fairy in his arms.
"Five Orcs, two Warriors, two Hunters, and one Shaman. There are no other hidden sentries in the surroundings," the thief Krakauer quickly reported.
"Kill." Keeshan charged forward with a cold expression.
The hunters' pets were the first to notice them. Just as they were about to sound the alarm, two arrows pierced their throats. Keeshan didn't fire two arrows at once. He just shot them so quickly that it looked like he had fired two arrows at the same time.
Then, it was a one-sided massacre. Lu Li and Water Fairy did not make it to the battle.
Water Fairy didn't even look at the kebab. After the battle ended, she pulled out the system interface and changed the game settings to block this disgusting scene.
The two NPCs put Brubaker down and buried him.
Brubaker's armor and belongings were scattered around. Keeshan rummaged through them and quickly found the scout's report.
Friend, if I hadn't handed you this note, I would probably be dead by now.
…
Tell my wife I love her. You must kill these scum.
Also, I found a Black Dragon in the fortress.
The note was indeed Brubaker's. He had drawn a simple topographic map of Stonecastle Stronghold, as well as an inaccurate military deployment. Keeshan had once been imprisoned in Stonecastle Stronghold for a period of time, and as a prisoner of war, he had even participated in the construction of Stonecastle Stronghold. However, the mention of a black dragon in the letter was truly shocking news.
"Don't worry. Even if there's a Black Dragon, we'll still blow it up," Keeshan said coldly.
He picked up the corpses of the Blackrock Orcs and threw them into the fire. The flames immediately burned even brighter.
The group continued on their way with heavy hearts.
As they got closer to Stonecastle Fortress, they could see Orc patrols in the distance. They were usually in teams of ten, consisting of four Warriors, two Hunters, two Shamans, and two Wolf Riders. Their class composition was impeccable, and they were all Elite monsters.
The five Orcs from before were probably only half of the scout team.
"Those wolves have anti-stealth abilities. Be careful," Keeshan said to Lu Li and Water Fairy.
The wolf that he was referring to was probably the mount wolf of the Wolf Riders. The two Hunters also had wolf-like pets, but they were much smaller in size and had very short legs. However, they were thick and strong. They were probably good at short-range explosiveness.
Lu Li was puzzled. You five NPCs have all kinds of classes. Why aren't you worried about yourselves? Why are you worried about two Thieves?
Then, he saw the five NPCs drink a bottle of something and disappear. Yes, they completely disappeared. Even with Lu Li's Awareness, he couldn't find where these Hunters and Paladins were.
Then, Messner seemed to cast some kind of skill on them. Only then did they see the five NPCs in Stealth.
Was this quest really that simple? Did they just have to wait here?
"Stop looking and follow me," Messner said in a low voice. "Apart from planting the bombs, we have to kill at least half of the squad leaders. Otherwise, the Orcs will have a leader and retreat from Stonecastle Fortress in an organized manner."
"This time, we have to wipe out the Blackrock Orcs," Jorgensen said hatefully. "After we complete the quest, I won't go back to farming anymore. I want to kill the Orcs. I want to kill all of them."
"Hopefully, when I'm old, I'll still have the chance to go fishing." Messner shook his head without much hope.
Alright, Lu Li and Water Fairy could only follow behind him carefully.
Even though the Stealth effect of the NPCs couldn't be detected by Lu Li, Keeshan and the others didn't let their guard down. They moved towards Stonecastle Fortress bit by bit.
The first place to plant the bombs was, of course, the castle gate.
There were four Orcs guarding the gate, so they had to kill them. With Keeshan's order, the three Orcs they were responsible for were killed immediately. Meanwhile, the one that Lu Li and Water Fairy killed only lost half its HP.
Keeshan turned his bow around and killed the last Orc with a few arrows.
"I'll plant the bombs. Messner, take everyone to the next location. From now on, we have 45 minutes to plant 46 bombs and kill as many Orc officers as possible. Be careful not to enter the central hall. The commander isn't someone we can deal with," Keeshan said in a commanding tone.
The bombs were timed, but they were extremely unstable. Only a Soldier Ace like Keeshan could ensure that they worked perfectly.
