在我们遇到那个凋零骷髅之前，我们听到了许多古怪的声音。但当我们到了第三层后，周围安静得像第一层一样，这里静得让人怀疑自己是否是聋了一般，让所有人都抓狂。
几小时后，队伍进入了一个巨大的房间，这也许是我们目前遇到的最大的房间。这房间的水池连接着巨大的水管①，证实了地下墓穴确实和下水道是相通的。
将军说现在是时候休整一下了，接着整个队伍开始驻扎下来准备午餐。Solomon重申了一遍他希望立即返回城堡，在短暂的争执后，Dan将军同意止步于此。
就在这时，有人大喊敌军来了，它们的声响越来越大。我们被数以百计的生物包围了，它们是怎么获得我们的位置的？
巨大的蜘蛛从下水道中爬出，僵尸们从大厅出现，另外一侧骷髅正源源不断地涌出。将军立马嘶吼着让所有人集合，一场惨绝人寰的大战一触即发。
在混乱中的某一瞬间，我找到了撤退的机会。我对着入口处的一群敌人发射了一个眩晕咒，接着迅速地从入口处脱身。一小部分士兵跟着我进入了来时的通道。
现在我已经无从得知Solomon、将军和剩下的远征军那里发生了什么。我找到了几个远离战场避难的士兵，但是我还是觉得有一个看不到的东西②正在注视着我们。
Before our encounter with the Wither Skeleton, we heard plenty of odd noises. But during our time on the third floor, just like the first one, there was a deafening silence that caused great anxiety in us all.
After a few hours, the group entered a large room, probably the largest one yet. The room had giant water pipes landing into large pools. Proof that the sewers had connections with the Catacombs.
The General said it was time for a break, so the group started to prepare for lunch. Solomon reiterated his wish to return to the Castle immediately. After a short debate, General Dan agreed to end the expedition.
Suddenly, someone yelled that enemies were coming. The sounds grew louder and louder, before encompassing us completely. We were surrounded, hundreds of those creatures, how could they be capable of such coordination?
Giant spiders crawled out of the sewers, zombies appeared from the hall, and a volley of skeletons came from the other direction. The General immediately called for a rally and a desperate battle ensued.
Somewhere in the chaos, I saw an opportunity to retreat. I landed a stun spell on a group of enemies near the entrance of the hall and quickly made my escape. A small portion of our group followed me into the passage.
I do not know what happened to Solomon, the General, and the rest of the militia. I found refuge with a couple soldiers far away from the battle, but I could sense a presence watching us.

我们救下的其中一个士兵一举一动非常怪异：他不断地自言自语嘀咕着什么。在我经历过地下墓穴这一系列的事情过后，接下来发生什么我已经做好了心理准备。然后那个士兵停止自言自语，一边绝望地抓着他的眼睛一边开始大喊：“快出去！！！离开这里！！！”。
接着他停了下来，突然跳到了另外一名士兵身上，尝试用自己的剑刺穿那个倒霉蛋。我用尽了我所剩的mana，在他杀人之前将他晕在原地。现在他眼里光泽与色彩全部褪去，像是被人控制了意识一样。

整个地下墓穴中藏着一整支无与伦比的强大军队！必须有人活着回去报信，不惜一切……

① 有可能是f3 Professor的战斗场地，但是译者更倾向于认为是1X5布满排水管的房间。
② 这里和前文“怎么获得我们的位置的”明确暗示Watcher是在看着远征军的，译者注。
③ 原文中是“at all c...”，我觉得应该就是at all cost（不惜一切代价）在最后时刻没时间写完了，为了表现这种形式译者把代价两字拆开并省略最后一个“介”。
One of the rescued soldiers was acting odd. He started mumbling to himself, and knowing the Catacombs, I was ready for whatever this could be. He started screaming "GET OUT!!!", and clawed at his eyes. Then he stopped.
Suddenly, he leaped at his comrade and tried to pierce him with his sword. I used all the mana I had left to stun him before he could kill. The color in his eyes was gone, as if he was being mind controlled.
