An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

"Weir, whether you can or cannot is actually not important. From the beginning to the end, the only direction for everyone is to move forward. There is no way back."

"Even if this battle means we will definitely die, at least we never gave up and fought hard..."

At this point, Malone still wants to inspire everyone with words as usual, but he himself is not sure.

Therefore, the words that were said did not actually have an inspiring effect, but were rather somewhat... tragic.

"Any plans?"

Yingxin took a sip of water and asked calmly.

He had died once not long ago, and he had experienced the consequences of failure, so he was not afraid at all. The worst that could happen was that he would go to the realm of the dead again.

Hearing this, Ma Long nodded and responded:
"Of course, I plan to sneak into the Moonrise Tower again to find a way to break Som's immortality."

"What!?" x6
These words immediately made everyone change color!

I failed last time, how could I be different this time? The enemy is in the open, I am in the dark, Som will never be stupid enough to be unprepared!

To this, Gale refuted very seriously:
"Marlon, this plan is too... impulsive. Let's not even talk about whether we can find what we want,"

“Just diving into this is a big problem.”

As soon as the mage spoke, everyone present nodded in agreement.
This plan is really unreliable and won't work.

However, Ma Long remained calm and continued:

"The normal infiltration method will definitely not work, so I plan to lure the enemies out of the tower."

"Everyone, divide into two groups. One team will go out in the open and serve as a target for the cult to confuse you, while the other team will act in secret and look for an opportunity to enter the tower."

Hearing this, Gail was stunned. She understood the captain's intention.
But the others were confused.
It's easy to say, but how can the enemy escape from the tower? Moreover, the devil Raphael revealed the general situation of the town of Rasven.

The place is already filled with troops!

Perhaps before they could successfully infiltrate, the target group would be defeated first and drowned by the crowd...

"I know everyone is confused. Let me explain the reason for this arrangement."

Then Marlon told Catherixom about the polyhedron relic he wanted, and how it could resist the mental oppression of the Supreme God and inhibit the "development" of insects.

Inform all partners.

He also mentioned the relic that flew out of Shadow Heart's waist bag on its own in front of the abandoned Selûne Temple as an explanation for knowing all of the above.

Although he has not yet revealed the whole truth of the incident to the public,

But these are enough for everyone to understand the importance of the relics.

"I'm going to use it to lure Som out and buy as much time as possible."

"Does everyone understand?"

After a long speech, Ma Long raised his head and drank some water to moisten his dry throat.

After listening to the narration, Ying Xin suddenly understood and couldn't help muttering to himself:
"……I see."

"This plan is too risky! Isn't there a better way?"

Weier bit her lower lip and asked with a frown.

Malone shook his head and sighed:

"Unfortunately, this is the only way out. If I had a choice, I would not resort to this."

There is no better strategy than this. This is a gamble, and life is the stake! He believes that Som will not hide the "secret" deep.
After all, the other side has all the advantages, and the general with thousands of troops under his command,
Compared with their small group of several people, the chances of winning for both sides are obvious...

“… Damn it! That’s it! I want to be in the group that’s the target!”

Karak gnashed his teeth, slapped his thigh and shouted:

"Anyway, I'll get stabbed if I stick my head out. Even if I die, I'm going to die on the battlefield! Kill as many bastards from the evil cult as possible!"

As I just said, at this point, whether or not we can fight against the evil cult army is not important at all.

The key is... do you dare?

Knowing that there is a high risk of death ahead, do you still have the courage to resolutely confront the strong enemy and decide who is better, and go from death to life? At this time, Ma Long ate the remaining dinner in one gulp, and urged with a hint of confusion:
"That's it. Everyone, go to bed early. I'll be on guard tonight. Harsin, put Altkula in my tent."

"That's it. We'll discuss the details tomorrow. Go to bed, everyone. Time is precious."

After saying that, Astelon stood up first, walked towards the tent with a stern face without looking back.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong with her.

"What's wrong with that guy?"

Turning his head to glance at the other person's leaving back, Ying Xin asked a question, and Ma Long sighed softly:
"Don't worry about her."

"Okay, if you can't bear it anymore, wake me up and take your place."

After the words fell, everyone returned to the tent one after another, leaving the night watchman sitting alone by the campfire.

As the barrier disappeared, the camp had no protection. In order to have a good night's sleep and wake up full of energy the next day, Ma Long had to take up the night watch.

There is no second choice.

Only a paladin can ensure that evil spirits or other things with bad intentions cannot get close.

……

After an unknown amount of time, bursts of snoring could be heard from several tents.

Malone sat alone by the campfire, sometimes in a daze, sometimes using a rag to wipe his sword to kill time, or adding firewood to increase the salary.
In this non-information age, the nights are extremely difficult to endure!

Especially in the cursed land, not only is there no starry sky, but there is not even a single bird or insect chirping! It is so boring.

But he was not the only one still awake in the camp.

Suddenly, the curtain door of a tent was gently opened from the inside.

The people among them looked around as if they were "guilty of a crime". After making sure that there was no other noise in the other tents except for snoring,

Then he tiptoed out and approached the campfire.

Of course, this could not be hidden from the perceptive Ma Long. As soon as he heard the unusual movement,

The hand that was wiping the sword suddenly stopped and looked back sharply.

"Why haven't you rested yet?"

"It's all thanks to your plan. I can't sleep for the time being, so I came to keep you company."

Weier shrugged and answered quietly, walking straight to sit next to the man.

After learning about the almost "crazy" plan, she tossed and turned for a long time, unable to fall asleep. Perhaps tomorrow would be the day they died...

It would be strange if I could sleep peacefully at this moment.

Hearing this, Ma Long couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Uh...well, anyway, this is our last chance,"

"If the situation is really... beyond redemption, I just hope... that everyone won't blame me."

If he couldn't pass this level, he would definitely be incompetent as the captain, at least that's what he thought in his heart.

Weier smiled and comforted softly:

"How could that be? You have already done your best, even if we really lose tomorrow."

"I believe no one will complain. Most people will lament that fate is unfair. Of course, I am not saying this about Asdelun, after all, she complains all the time."

“Puchi~haha.”

This little joke successfully made Ma Long laugh.

Astelon is indeed as people say.
