Chapter 148: Danger (3)
At this time, the town of Hunter Swamp is also fighting. The Rocky Warband, led by Glori, has never stopped. Now, Glorry panted as he picked up the clay pot in the corner. He slammed forward, sending an armored golem around.
"For an entire afternoon, we've put down a hundred and fifty puppets, and we haven't even had a chance to catch our breath. They've been coming here from the northern swamps. Zoe couldn't help but complain to Glori, but threw the ball of fire magic at the spinning golem.
"It's more serious than we thought. Glori, look!"
Iris pointed to the swampy area north of the fence. Looking in the direction Iris was pointing, Glori saw pairs of red flashes. It's clear that more golems are breaking through the swamp's fog barrier.
"This way!" Aina shouted. Then, the phoenix on Elris's shoulder flew towards Aina and buried a golem that had broken through the fence in flames.
"Red Valley, we can't go. Now, it's all over the place. Wei cut the golem escaping from the fire in two, then stomped its neck off. As for Dylan, on his east flank, pull an undamaged boat out of the swamp water.
"This thing is horrible, look at these broken ships. Dylan stared at Glori, gesturing to his feet. The boat he dragged ashore had lost a side, as if the puppets had done it consciously.
Glori frowned and looked around. Some, like Glori's team, are fending off the puppets, while others have already packed everything. Among the busy crowd was one who stood out, Mayor Toby Harrington. A small cart full of belongings. For this, Glori is not going to comment.
Thankfully, Toby saw the boat being towed ashore by Dylan. Then, he pulled the cart hard and flipped it directly into the corner: "They destroy everything, not even the wood! Blue star, we can't go anywhere!"
Collapsed fences, wrecked boats, toppled piles of logs, and even torn curtains. Glori was a little dizzy, and after slapping his face, he regained his spirits.
"We have to go on, we don't have time to rest. Glori said to Dylan. Dylan just bit it, letting the ruthlessness show off on his face.
"You can walk to the west, but there's no point in going there, it's the territory of the Order. "Uncle Brev hid behind Glori out of exhaustion. He just wanted to take a break, just for a moment.
"If you can't save your life, what else do you want these belongings to do?" Toby grabbed a harpoon. His shout was like hitting a ghost, and directly made his grieving wife next to him pick up the rake.
"Before the next wave comes, everyone reports their names one by one. I'll count ......" Susan was tiptoeing the first time she counted, and this time, she just glanced at it. Including the Rocky Warband, plus the militia team, there were forty-one people in total.
"There are so many of them, we alone are not enough. We've got to hand out weapons to everybody, anything, like Mr. and Mrs. Harrington, rakes, shovels, hammers...... Even wooden sticks ......," Susan said from Glori's side.
Glori nodded. He saw Aina pick up a sword shark dagger on the side of the road. He took a step forward, then turned around: "Everyone, you have to fight!"
"Yes, all of us!" said Aina, imitating Glori, alternating steps.
"You're brave. Pod stroked Aina's short hair.
“...... That's all there is to it. We adults can't be laughed at by children. Pick up anything that can be used to fight. Then, let's get rid of those monsters together!" Toby raised his harpoon and did his duty.
"I wrapped them around them with thorns, but they would bite it off and escape. Pod was a little disappointed. She had also strengthened those hedges with thorns, and not just once.
"We'll need time, a little more thorns!" Glori explained.
"Is there any other way, if you can ...... while they're trapped," Uncle Brev shook his pouch and took a puff of his cigarette. Then, he looked at Glori.
"Meteorites? I can only do my best to get rid of the golems that haven't reached the village yet, because these meteorites don't have eyes. I can't fully control them, I can only get a rough idea. Although Zoe said so, she did it anyway. She let the fiery serpent entangle her, and the people who watched her make a way, as if she were praying for nectar from heaven to moisten the earth.
"Wait, you're going to ruin the swamp to the north. There are so many creatures there!" said Elris, holding out her hand to stop Zoe.
"Let her do it. We have no other way. If this works, at least most of the golems can be eliminated. Toby stepped out of the crowd and hoped that Zoe would finish engulfing the golem with a meteorite. So, he tried to grab Irris's arm, but Dylan grabbed him.
"Hey! that's not right!" Dylan stared at Toby, if his voice was harsh, it would be a threat. Besides, he was stronger than Toby, which had already stunned Toby.
"Iris is right, we can't do this! it's going to ruin this place! We've all seen that magic!" Glori pushed through the crowd and took a few steps to block Zoe from the left.
However, only a minority of those who approve of Glori's approach are in the minority. Some people were red-eyed in order to survive and rushed straight to Glori. As the man put his hands on Glori's right shoulder, Wei stepped forward. Wei magically created a barrier on the side of Glori's right shoulder, and knocked away a golem crawling over the fence directly in front of him.
"Get out of here! let her use that magic!, otherwise, how are we going to deal with these monsters?" Blacksmith Mori squeezed his way through the crowd and stood on the wooden boat Dylan had set. In order not to make a fool of Sen, George pulls him into the crowd. As a result, Sen shook off George's hand and threw George off the boat.
"You're all members of the Revival Legion, so you should do your part, not let us civilians die!" Mori blushed.
"Sen must be crazy, pull him off the boat!" shouted Toby.
"Why, you're silent, the rumors aren't wrong at all! Moonlight Town was destroyed by you people!" Sen raised his voice.
"The people of Moonlight are victims of someone's desires. Now, we're going to make another mistake!" said Wei Zhengse. At this moment, someone still wanted to push Wei aside, but unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't push the strong Wei.
Gradually, Sen's quarrel grew louder and louder. His voice chilled Glori and his mates. And there were more and more strange eyes in the crowd, and they stared at the people of Glori.
Glori wanted to say something, but was speechless. He had witnessed the destruction of Moonlight Town, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, Glori's heart was occupied by sadness. He couldn't say the words that shook these indifferent people. So, Dylan walked over and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
At this time, Zoe was urged to walk to the north side of the fence. Just as she was about to stop, she took another step closer. In a high-pitched voice, she chanted: "God of Fire, I am here to summon the fire of calamity, may this fire ...... The evil ...... that engulfs the depths of the swamp"
During the chanting, Zoe paused. Actually, it's not that she doesn't care about other creatures. After the spell, Susan pulls up Zoe, who has run out of magic.
"May the dragon god forgive us......" Iris prayed.
Unable to stop it, Glori looked sadly at the meteorite that had fallen from the sky. The moment the light flashed, the northern swamp burst into flames, and a heavy fog rose. The fleeing birds were ignited by the waves of fire, and when the curtain of light fell, they became the lights that illuminated the swamp. As for the people of Hunter Swamp Town, they were all stunned.
After a moment of silence, the golem's roar resumed, and they stepped over the fence as if they had gone mad. Glori's gaze shifted from the hateful Zoe to the fog rushing in front of him. He threw away his grief, raised his sword, and rushed towards the surging golems.
It was only after a while that the town of Hunting was in chaos. As Mori disembarks, a puppet drags him into the water. He choked on a few mouthfuls of muddy water and scratched at the fence with all his might. "Help me!" he could only ask for help.
Glori glanced at the red eyes in the muddy water and immediately stabbed his sword. Then, he cut off the puppet's arm. Glorry was a little disappointed, though. Because, Sen staggered up and threw off Glori and hid in the crowd. At the fence, Glori didn't stop because of what had just happened. He was about to turn around, but was caught in the gap by another puppet.
"Brother!" Aina stabbed the puppet in Glori's back. At the same time, the pod summoned the ancient vine to trap it. Glori then turned around and sent a sword. But the puppet was still roaring and crawling towards Aina. Glori stepped forward and blocked Aina's eye with his left hand to finish off the puppet.
"Why are you still here?" Dylan jumped over and knocked out the two golems that were close to the pods into flames, "Glori, I need to find ...... You understand, see you later. "Scattered in the fog just now, he's worried about Elris.
Glori took a deep breath and high-fived Dylan as he left the group. And he himself plans to go to Susan, because Susan is separated like Irris. He speculated that Susan might be with Zoe. Heading northwest, Glori heard the shouts of the baker, George.
"Help! he's become a puppet!" "George, who had been robbed of the stick, cut through the fog and collided with Glori. Behind him is his nephew. "You save my nephew, he was injured by a puppet, and in the blink of an eye, he became like this!" he looked terrified and hid behind Glori.
Hurt?Glori grabbed the boy who rushed at him. The boy was a little younger than Glori, not too tall, and a little fat, and Glori just grabbed the other man's shoulder and tripped him with his right foot. However, there was no way for him to exorcise the curse. He pressed George's nephew with his left hand and inadvertently caught the falling raindrops with his right hand, but he didn't expect the raindrops to turn into black mist in his hands.
Glori came to a conclusion: "This rain, there is a problem. Then he asked George for a piece of hemp rope and tied the boy up. He had to go to the others and tell them what he had discovered.
On the road, more and more people fell, and the sound of fighting became less and less. Glori did everything he could, rescuing a man trapped in a barrel, carrying a little boy off a fence, and knocking out a puppet in front of a woman's eyes...... But all this is not enough, the fog is making people get lost.
In order to find Susan as soon as possible, Glori has been feeling the fluctuations of magic around her. Then, after pushing a golem into the mouth of the well and passing through a fence, he heard Susan's voice summoning magic and quickened his pace. He vaguely saw a straw hut.
In front of the hut where the two children were hidden, Susan took two steps back. "Ice Arrow...... she knocked down a golem.
"Glori!" Susan shouted. She heard voices coming from the east and shot the three golems in the same way. At the same time, the light of the arrow illuminates the place.
"Sister, watch out on the left!"
A child helps Susan stare around. After receiving a punch from the puppet in her left shoulder, Susan took a step to the right and dodged another puppet attacking in front of her.
"Right!"
The children shouted in unison and threw stones at the golems. Susan jumped over it, but tripped over a stone as she stood up. To Susan's right, an armored golem stabbed with a sword.
"Stop that puppet! Don't let him hurt Susan! This rain will plant a curse through the wounds!" Irrith rushed out of the south, also falling into the muddy water. Fortunately, Dylan behind her reacted quickly and directly slashed down the puppet that pounced on Elris.
After a few shouts, Glori finally arrived. He emerged from the north side of the hut and threw his sword, knocking down the armored golem. Immediately, Irrith burst into tears, and she let go of Dylan's hand, ran to Susan, and gave her a hug.
After only a few moments of silence, a puppet flew out of the fog and landed in front of Glori and his companions. Glori, however, smiled, and he stepped forward, waiting for the figure in the fog to appear. Sure enough, Glori saw Will, Pod, Aina, and Zoe.
"So, friends, we're reunited. Wei shouted. He craned his shoulders and walked over to Glori. Susan never got up, she sprained. So, Glori tore a piece of cloth from her cloak and wrapped it around Susan's right ankle.
"But what's that?" Zoe walked over to Way. At the same time, Pod appears in Shadow Magic, and Aina stands beside her with a dagger.
To the northeast, a huge figure is approaching...... In response, Glori pulled Susan up and shook the sword in his hand, causing it to glow blue.
