Chapter 391 Traveling together
Lorraine had never seen a dragon eagle before.
When Captain Terra gave the silent magical signal, the colossal creatures high in the sky plummeted down, their bodies, several meters long, landing on the ground with absolutely no sound... only the gust of wind from their folded wings nearly knocked Lorraine over.
The human prisoner, Seid, who was standing there dumbfounded, was so scared that he wet himself.
He lay on his back, with two dragon eagles staring at the tiny, insect-like human on the ground, one on each side... Their golden beaks occasionally parted slightly, their bodies trembling, and Rong Shun's beautiful, fiery red feathers became slightly fluffy.
Its enormous, phoenix-like claws gripped the ground tightly.
Lorraine and Seid had never seen such a huge creature up close before. Even with the Void Dragons, Lorraine had only caught a fleeting glimpse of them in Dalaran... They were too caught up in the fierce battle to notice anything else.
The flying divine bird is now right before our eyes...
It is over ten meters long, and more than half of it is a phoenix-like tail.
In his memory, Saide had seen the griffins used for communication and transportation in Southshore. Those things were already huge. A four- or five-meter-tall adult griffin could kill a full-grown horse with a single talon.
The three dragon eagles summoned by Terra this time were significantly larger, almost three times their original size.
One of them didn't even look like an eagle...it looked more like a dragon...only a little smaller than the legendary dragons.
Three dragonhawks were enough to carry the entire Sunreaver squad on long-distance reconnaissance missions... Lorraine noticed that the largest dragonhawk seemed particularly affectionate towards Captain Terra, its massive head nuzzling against her, Terra's petite body burying itself in its feathers...
After a comforting embrace, Terra gave a few instructions, and the pre-arranged plan was immediately put into action. Two smaller dragon eagles unloaded a batch of supplies from their backs and replaced them with the looted valuables.
The team split into three groups.
The three rode the largest dragon eagle, said their goodbyes, and flew directly towards Southshore Town... Terra selected the remaining members: a Blood Knight, a Priest, a Ranger Archer, and a Spellbreaker.
Captain Terra and two prisoners, Lorraine and Syd, remain.
Five men were left behind with two prisoners... to capture Mayor Bonn at the beach.
The remaining personnel escorted the spoils and evidence from the two dragon eagles towards Silvermoon City. To avoid trouble, they planned to bypass the mainland and fly along the coast... spending more time on the detour to ensure everything went smoothly...
Most of the manpower was used to escort the gold coins and evidence.
Only Lorraine and a few others remained, hiking to the beach...
Lorraine didn't understand. Wasn't the plan to capture Mayor Bourne... why divert their forces? Was Miss Terra so confident that she could handle several times, even dozens of times, more enemies by herself?
Are all blood elves so arrogant?
Said clearly stated that his uncle, Mayor Bonn, had several hundred veterans guarding him hidden in the Jade Mine, and the situation of his lair on Redemption Island was even more unknown... How dare a five-man squad attack his lair?
And since they clearly had a mount, why didn't they use it? Wouldn't it have been better to go directly to that Redemption Island?
......
When confronted by Lorraine's questioning, Captain Terra simply smiled and teased, "I've heard that Lord Lorraine is worth a thousand soldiers all by herself. But we still have you, don't we?"
"Me? I can't dive...and I can't fly..."
......
"Five-person teams are the most common configuration, and the members of the Sun Reapers must face different challenges. Quality over quantity. Only truly elite troops can achieve perfect coordination... To deal with various emergencies, the fewer the number of people, the more flexible they are!"
“We’re splitting up to scout ahead now. If things don’t look good, I’ll call for backup.” Terra smiled, pointing to the largest giant eagle that had already flown away. “They’ll bring back reinforcements…”
After listening to Captain Terra's explanation, Lorraine felt that it made some sense, but he still really wanted to experience riding this giant dragon eagle... He had been feeling dizzy and lightheaded these past few days, and he had originally planned to get a mount from the Frostwolf Legion. He had long coveted the cool and stylish Frostwolf that his teacher had mentioned.
Seeing the blood elf mage's even larger and wilder dragonhawk mount, Lorraine's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he longed to ride the dragonhawk and soar through the sky...
Having only experienced the Undercity bats a few times in all this time... Lorraine wanted to immediately fly back to Undercity on a dragonhawk, but Captain Terra completely ignored his request...
"Once the mission is complete, Lord Lorraine must return to Silvermoon City with me first. We can return to Undercity later..."
"Going to the far one's way... are they crazy?"
......
No matter what Lorraine said, the dragon-eagle behemoth took to the sky and flew away, leaving Lorraine only able to watch helplessly as the two dragon-eagles, laden with gold coins, disappeared into the distance...
As soon as the dragon eagle flew away, the ground team immediately sprang into action. Taking advantage of the perfect cover of night, the team did not choose to go through the potentially risky tunnels.
According to signals relayed by the leading dragon eagle riders, the ground is relatively safe.
Miss Terra decided to cross Hillsbrad directly from the surface to the Jade Mine, to avoid being trapped underground.
......
The Blood Knight led the way, followed by a ranger archer escorting the prisoner, Seid, and a priest in the middle, with a reluctant Lorraine at the back. Behind him followed a spellbreaker...keeping a close eye on him. Captain Terra brought up the rear, overseeing the overall situation...ready to direct any changes in direction or direction.
The Jade Mine is actually very close to the town. Just go through the main road from Silver Pine Forest to Southsea Town, and follow the hills by the sea. You will see the mine entrance and a small ferry crossing in a low-lying area.
Emerging from underground in the center of town, the shortest route crosses the town's farmland, passes the outer wall of the mayor's hall, and goes through the blacksmith's shop... In the past, there were always militiamen patrolling this road, but now it is naturally empty.
Occasionally, a few ghosts would drift over from the corner of the wall, but they weren't very combative.
They are the souls of ordinary people who died violent deaths and whose resentment lingers, wandering aimlessly in their familiar surroundings... Occasionally, however, undead infected with a deadly poison suddenly jump out, which is a bit frightening.
With the Blood Knight wielding his warhammer imbued with holy light, these seemingly intimidating creatures were easily dealt with and purified.
Even with a few more, the archer and priest working together, they still couldn't reach Lorraine and Captain Terra in the back row. Captain Terra remained vigilant throughout, frequently stopping after walking a short distance to close her eyes and sense something...
Lorraine hates feeling coerced!
Especially when it's someone supposedly one of our own, using inexplicable reasons to coerce us...
However, after witnessing the level of teamwork among the Sun Reaper squad members, Lorraine judged that each of them seemed to be significantly stronger than himself... not to mention that there was a Spellbreaker following closely behind him.
A spellbreaker was following behind him... Lorraine felt the magic power he had painstakingly restored was circulating sluggishly...
So this is what they call the elite Blood Elves...?
Just as things were getting awkward, the procession happened to pass by the entrance to the once bustling, now ruined, town hall...
Captain Terra stopped as usual, closed her eyes and listened intently for a second. The next second, her brow twitched, her ears turned, and she suddenly raised her hand and clenched her fist to signal, "Stop! What's that sound?" The entire team immediately stopped in response. Lorraine wondered what was wrong with this woman now.
Stretching his neck, Lorraine immediately saw, in the dark corner of the wall, in the surrounding shadows, a dense, swarming mass of red eyes suddenly appear...
"Sigh, it seems we're surrounded by something!"
