步步惊心丽百度云

We passed through the hole in the barrier quickly, it was only a couple seconds after we had entered that the barrier had regenerated. Once we were in the barrier the bloodlust that was constantly hounding us was no longer present.

Instead there was this feeling of peace that I had once I crossed over.

Activating my shared vision again I could finally see how many souls were in the camp. After counting them I saw that there were about two or three thousand individual souls in total.

Before I could say anything to inform Aoif or Tama, Aoif with a shake in her voice said, "Should we retreat?"

I felt like smacking my face, of course Aoif would have seen the massive amount of souls that were there, she constantly had her soul sight on.

"We have Tama, she can kill the majority of them while we focus on the stronger ones." I point over to Tama as I say that, trying to reassure Aoif.

"I can, my Lord, but do you want me to?" Tama suddenly interjects. Though she had brought up a good point. Right now Tama's strength trumped all of our enemies but would that be true when we went up against the forces of the middle realm. The commander of the enemy right now was probably around tier 3 or 4 and if a commander was that strong would we really be alright just letting Tama fight all our battles.

Of course this thought had occurred to me many times, it was the very reason that I had fought the realm protectors alone, why I had focused on evolving myself and Aoif and not exclusively on Tama.

It was because I wanted power, I wanted to protect them myself, not rely on them.

"I'll stand on the side for this battle, only interfering when I deem you in danger." It was as if Tama had read my mind, stepping back and calmly explaining what she would do.

…

"We need a plan of attack"

Nodding my head I listen to what Darwin wanted me to do for our siege against the elves.

It took a while but after he had explained his plan we immediately got to work.

I split up and headed to the left side of the camp.

The left side had less people but also had the strongest soul among them. We were assuming that the commander was that abnormally strong soul.

However to even get there I had to climb up the mountain.

Luckily I already had experience with this, so I started to punch holes in the mountain that I used to pull myself up and place my feet in them.

Since I was being careful not to make too much noise I had to be quiet in how I broke those rocks.

So instead of just punching them with a reinforced fist like I had done I took the knife in my hand and reinforced it.

After it was reinforced I started to carve out a hole that would fit both my hand and my feet.

It didn't take long with how sharp the dagger was. The rock cut like a hot knife through butter. Making deep cuts with barely any effort on my part.

Slowly I climbed the mountain one foothold at a time.

Once I was halfway up there I took out the rope that Darwin had made in the middle realm and started to follow my second set of directions.

The rope or more accurately the evolved vine had a sort of consciousness, not enough to make its own decisions but enough to follow some very specific directions.

The first thing that I did was carve myself an alcove to sit in while I work on the next step.

That took some time but after I was done I sat down and with the extra rock that I had collected I started to tie the evolved vine down into some simple holes that I made outside of the alcove.

Then with the extra rock I made them round so that they would roll when I needed them to.

I placed those rocks in a line next to me and had the vine tense itself.

I then placed the rocks that I had made in a little hole that I had carved on the vine.

After that I sent a signal to Darwin, a burst of emotions that he should be able to feel.

…

I finally had gotten the signal that Aoif was done with her preparations.

Once I had confirmed that I had gotten the signal I started my part in this plan.

Climbing up the mountain, I created my own holds to carry myself up.

Slowly I started to reach the top of the mountain.

Looking back down I gulped. I had always had a little irrational fear of heights but now seeing how high up I was with no vine to reassure me, I felt a little faint.

I didn't let that deter me though as I kept going and soon reached the top.

…

The camp wasn't heavily defended as I thought it would be.

It seemed like they thought that the barrier would be enough to deter all their enemies.

I could see hundreds of elves in the distance just lazing around talking about this and that.

It was the perfect moment to strike.

However I didn't signal for Aoif to start yet, instead I slowly approached on my own.

Since there were no defenses I could easily blend in with my elf like looks and a hood over my face.

It seemed like the elves functioned similarly to humanity, just look like you belong there and no one would question you.

No one even bothered to stop me when I went to what looked like the barracks.

The sleeping elves didn't see it coming. Within just a couple minutes of entering I had already killed 20 elves in their sleep.

I made sure to cut their vocal chords and cover their mouths but eventually one did wake up and was able to scream before I could end him.

"ATTACK!" He screamed, "We're being-"

I silenced him before he could say any more but by then the damage was done, the hundred or so elves that were sleeping in her had woken up only to see the bloodied corpses of their allies.
