Chapter 359: Chapter 373 Lancelot’s Plan

“Should we consider infiltrating the fortress as an officer?” Acheron proposed another scenario, “Didn’t that Conscription Officer take a particular interest in you today? If you could first blend in to scout the situation, we might be able to strike inside and out, and it could be easy to take over.”

“That’s not a good idea,” Kamoen immediately objected, “The Demons have plenty of ways to make sure you’re truly evil. You definitely won’t pass.”

“That’s not necessarily true,” Bruto retorted discontentedly, “My brother has many skills, and there’s a lot you haven’t seen...”@@@@

“It’s not about whether you have high or low strength, it’s about your true moral alignment,” the Zoel Elf shook his bald head, “For example, if the Demons place a Goblin or Gnoll baby in front of you and hand you a Dagger, ordering you to skin the baby, can you do it?”

“Why... why would anyone do that? Is it just to prove that you really are a villain?” the Dwarf stuttered, “Simply to prove that you are indeed a rogue?”

“Unfortunately, my people are indeed capable of such a thing,” the Succubus Paladin’s voice rose helplessly, “But often it’s not for any complex purpose, but rather for the pleasure of seeing humans show disgust and reaction.”

...

“Moreover, this plan would take a long time to execute, and that would increase the risks in various ways,” Lancelot rejected the Elven Ranger’s proposal, “Guys, I’ve got an idea, remember our Transforming Ring?”

“What are you planning to do?” Elothysia asked curiously, “Just turning into a Succubus won’t fool them for long. Even if the guards initially don’t dare to stop you, they will definitely keep a close watch on you. Once they realize you weren’t ‘summoned’ by some big shot, you’ll be in trouble.”

“So we shouldn’t take too long,” Lancelot shrugged, “Bruto, you said you remembered the layout of the fortress, right? Draw the schematic for everyone.”

“Draw? My hands haven’t held anything more delicate than a hammer handle...” the Dwarf responded as if he’d heard an outrageous request, his eyes rolled, then spotted the pile of crystal shards on the ground, “How about I make you a sand table instead?”

Moments later, a crystal-like model of the fortress was complete. It had to be admitted that Bruto had some craftsman’s skills; the miniature fortress closely resembled the structure engraved in Lancelot’s memory, and this visualization made things much clearer.

“You guys who don’t appreciate a good beard...” Dwarf deflated immediately.

“Hold on, what are you talking about?” Kamoen couldn’t help but ask, “You guys... can transform into succubi?”

“Not all of us, just Lancelot, Kalalin, and Bruto are up to it,” Alamir explained with a smile, “Back when I was locked up in a... succubus prison, they rescued me using this trick.”

“That’s possible?” Kamoen looked at his bald head in disbelief, “Then suppose you find Ulgog’s office, what then?”

“If the Demon General is not in there, great, we find the battle plan and beat it. If Ulgog happens to be in his office...” Lancelot shrugged, “then everyone comes out of the Dimensional Bag, and we take him down together.”

“Oh, I like where this is going!” Bruto rubbed his hands eagerly, “As long as the seduction doesn’t reach the level of a Barlow Flame Demon, even if it’s accompanied by one or two bodyguards, with so many of us, we will surely take it down!”

“It must have stored a small part of its essence beforehand, we can’t really kill it completely,” Kalalin shook his head, “Of course, it will take some time to resurrect, but definitely long enough for us to escape.”

“Is it really going to be that simple?” Acheron’s voice still sounded somewhat incredulous, “How do we withdraw after we succeed?”

“If we haven’t been exposed the entire time, we might even walk out the main gate,” Lancelot said confidently, “If a fight breaks out when we get the battle plan, it might get a bit messy... but relying on my Perception Ability and Shadow Jump, we should have no problem slipping away right under the enemy’s noses.”

“I think it’s a good plan, at least it saves us the trouble of sneaking into the inner layer of the fortress,” Kamoen hesitated for a moment before asking, “Can I join you? My twin daggers should be of some help...”
