An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 73 Alternative Plan
If there really was a fight, Ma Long wouldn't be much weaker than the ogre.

If it's one-on-one, the winning rate is really not high.
But if every two people fight against each other, and they cooperate with each other in melee and long-range combat, it will be much easier to defeat the opponent.

After a long period of careful consideration, the leading ogre finally accepted the cooperation agreement and took out a horn from his belt:
"Deal, take it, blow this when you need our help, but let me remind you, don't blow it randomly,"

"If we rush here, there will be nothing to eat, let alone gold..."

"Don't worry, that won't happen."

After receiving the horn from the ogre, Ma Long's smiling face appeared again and he made a promise.

It was a great joy for him to be able to find foreign aid to assist in the battle. After all, if Astelon messed up again,
You can also call these guys for help through the horn, which is a precautionary measure and multiple guarantees.

"Brothers, let's go."

The two sides reached a cooperation, and the leading ogre had no reason to block them anymore. He took his two brothers who were not very smart and turned around and left immediately.

They will wait quietly for the moment when the "dinner" horn is blown.

After the enemy left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The ogre was quite oppressive, and its tall and burly body alone put a lot of pressure on people.

Then, Border Blade asked rather puzzledly:

"Ma Long, why do you want to cooperate with them? Those are ogres!"

"Aren't you really afraid that the other party will not abide by the agreement, or kill us all by the way?!"

And not only did she think so, the rest of her companions also dared not trust those man-eating monsters, especially the leader who was unusual and could even think!
But Gale put his hands on his hips and explained with a smile:
"Please, Vale, do you think a paladin would work well with a monster that bites people?"

As the one with the highest intelligence in the team, the moment she heard about the cooperation, she guessed that the captain might have some evil intentions in his heart...

Faced with monsters that harm one party,

It is really against common sense for a righteous paladin to strike without drawing his sword.

Hearing this, Ma Long turned around, shrugged and said with a smile:

"Yes, I will kill those ogres, but before I kill them, they can be used by us, so why waste this opportunity?"

You have to kill anyway, so why not use one first and then kill the donkey~
Although the leading ogre can indeed use his brain and seems to be quite intelligent, in terms of his sinister heart, he is no match for humans.

"It's a good idea, but how do you ensure that the ogres won't attack us first?"

Shadow Heart agrees with this, but is also worried.

However, Ma Long smiled calmly:
"Karak, you hold the horn. If the situation outside is beyond your ability to deal with it, don't hesitate to blow it directly."

"When the time comes, let the ogres deal with the believers of the Supreme God, but not on the other hand."

"After we clean up the inside of the temple, we can call those guys over, and then while they are feasting, we can sneak attack or wait for the poison to take effect."

At this point, everyone understood Ma Long’s plan. The ogre was a backup plan.

It is a remedy when things are out of control.

Therefore, they don't need to worry about the ogres killing all the enemies and ourselves. If nothing happens, they don't even need to call them over.

If a problem does arise, this will prevent Karak and Astelon from being put in danger.
A desperate situation with no one to help.

"This is indeed a good idea." Weier nodded with satisfaction. She was also very worried about the safety of the two companions staying outside. After all, there were too few of them.
But deep inside the enemy camp, they couldn't spare one of them to help...

But now it's better. With the help of the ogre, you don't have to worry too much if something happens.

"Okay, let's go."

After looking up at the bright sun hanging high in the sky, Ma Long solemnly waved his hand forward and led his friends on a dangerous journey that may lead to no return.

What is going on inside the Temple of Selûne is still unknown.
Whether this battle can be won or not is even more uncertain. It could be either a disastrous defeat or a disastrous victory. But there is no turning back when the bow is drawn,

Even if there is a narrow escape ahead, they must try to fight for that glimmer of hope.

Not long after, Malone arrived at the temple again. After the carnival feast last night, a large part of the followers of the Supreme God,
They were all covered in the stench of alcohol, and they were lying on the floor sleeping soundly, with thunderous snores coming and going.
Only a few people are still conscious and still drinking.

People who drink frequently usually drink a few drinks after waking up from a hangover to take it back, and now is the perfect time for Astelon to take the drug!
"You two, remember to be careful and stay safe."

"Understood." x2
With a word of instruction, Ma Long led Ying Xin, Gale and Weir towards the inner entrance.

Karak and Asteron acted as planned, poisoning the wine as quickly as possible before the followers of the Supreme God woke up.

Pushing open the large iron door at the main entrance of Selune Temple, Shadow Heart followed Ma Long's steps and stepped inside,

My mood suddenly became very unpleasant, and I felt awkward and uncomfortable.

Gale, who was walking in the middle, happened to notice this situation and asked with concern:
"...Ying Xin, are you okay?"

Hearing the sound, Malone and Weir turned their heads one after another, and saw the pastor taking a deep breath, shaking his head helplessly and sighing:

"It's okay, I'm just not used to going deep into the enemy camp."

This explanation is very reasonable, at least both Gale and Weir believed it,
Although Ma Long knew the real inside story, he could not force the other party to tell the truth or reveal their privacy. He could only wait for them to speak on their own.

And Yingxin is also the only one in the team who has not fully integrated into the rest of the team, and still has reservations...

"Be patient for the time being and go find the Archdruid first, and then we'll find the leader."

"understood."

After saying that, Malone looked seriously ahead. Several short goblin guards noticed them, whispered to each other, and walked towards the door...

But fortunately, everyone has bugs in their heads.
As long as they don't expose hostility first, they are still noble true souls.

"What are your backgrounds!"

A female goblin with facial tattoos asked with a fierce voice.

Seeing the other party like this, Ma Long smiled coldly:
"We are the new True Souls. We need to see your boss for something. Also, don't be so arrogant, or I'll cut your tongue."

Since goblins are typically used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, I want to communicate with them properly.
You must show your strong side and make them afraid!
"True soul ones? Then you should have the gift of the supreme true god, right? Show it off."

Upon hearing this, Weir decisively fulfilled the female goblin's wish and used the bugs again to release the unique sense of oppression of the true soul.
Although there is a price for using it, she doesn't mind. The advantages always outweigh the disadvantages...

The female goblin immediately bowed and greeted her with a smile:
"Lord True Soul Master! Come in quickly! Who do you want to see? Boss Ragzlin? Priest of Gath? Or Minsala?"
