Lindsay's mouth let out a low squeak, as if to indict the injustice of the world.

He walked over to the scarecrow not far from him, and carefully examined the scarecrow as if he were looking at the finest work of art.

Then a hoarse crow howled in his throat: "Excuse me, old Bob, didn't you say that I could only be a farmer forever, and you were wrong, and you were outrageously wrong." ”

Lindsey said, reaching out and removing the hat from the scarecrow's head.

If anyone saw the scarecrow's head, they would probably be scared of and urine, because it was a real human head, and if anyone who knew it looked closely, they could see from that frightened face that it belonged to old Bob.

Lindsey pressed his hand to the heart of the scarecrow and sneered, "Let's go, old Bob, go and witness my glory." ”

With that, he made the first move towards the outside of the farmland, aiming for the castle, which was only two miles away.

Just as he turned to leave, the scarecrow suddenly moved, not by the wind or other external forces, but by the fact that it really moved.

The scarecrow's body spun in place, then suddenly rose from the ground, bouncing after Lindsey with Old Bob's terrifying face.

Gradually, the number of scarecrows gathered more and more, ten, twenty, thirty......

Countless scarecrows poured out of the fields, converged on Lindsay, and jumped after him towards the castle.

On the way, everyone who saw this scene would not have time to escape, and would be chased by the scarecrow at a very fast speed, and then frantically devoured it.

The army of scarecrows is still growing, seemingly endless.

On the bell tower of the inner fort, two guards were paying close attention to the movements around them, and even if no one was supervising them, they were still loyal to their duties, and this was the difference between the retainers of ordinary nobles and the retainers of ancient nobility.

The bell tower is the highest position in the entire castle, and the view is unobstructed even from ten miles away.

Suddenly, one of the guards made a soft noise, and then came to the edge of the bell tower, picked up his binoculars and looked in a certain direction outside the castle.

Immediately afterward, the guard froze, quickly lowered the binoculars, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then raised the binoculars again to look in that direction.

Because the magnification of the telescope is not high, he can only vaguely see countless figures jumping forward, the target is the direction of the ancient castle, and the most incredible thing is that the eyes of those people are actually scarlet.

The guard's thinking became a little confused, but years of training made him instinctively ring the alarm bell behind him: "Bell, bell, bell......"

The bell rang and most of the rooms of the castle were lit up.

The guards rushed down the bell tower at great speed, shouting incessantly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"

Because it was still early, most of the people had not yet slept, but were just resting or entertaining, and after hearing the shouts of the guards, they all hurried out of the room.

Count Edward moved the fastest, and after the bell struck three times, his figure appeared in the main hall of the castle.

Two minutes later, the guard walked into the main hall with an anxious face, puffed up his chest and saluted.

Count Edward asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

The guard took a deep breath and replied in a somewhat trembling voice, "It seems to be a necromancer." ”

Necromancer?Everyone was instantly shocked, and Count Edward's face suddenly became gloomy: "Speak clearly." ”

The guard had a good mental quality, and he had seen the world, so he immediately recounted what he had seen.

After hearing this, Renard's face changed drastically: "It's a necromantic puppet." ”

He lowered his head and thought for half a minute: "It must be the nightmare of the scarecrow, a battle puppet made of resentful spirits, the strength is comparable to that of a middle-level martial artist, if it is a puppet made with a freshly dead soul, the strength may reach that of a high-level martial artist." ”

Count Edward asked again, "How many of these things are there?"

The guard was a little confused by the question, he thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Hundreds or thousands." ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and they couldn't believe the number.

Renard couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm very sorry, Lord Count, maybe we caused you trouble. ”

Seeing this, Count Edward shook his head and sighed, "Actually, as early as two years ago, I found traces of the existence of necromancers, but I just failed to catch the other party. ”

The old earl's words reassured Renard a little, and he hurriedly said: "We must be ready for battle as soon as possible, we can control so many necromantic puppets, and the strength of that necromancer is not weak." ”

Count Edward walked straight to the door, and as he went, he commanded: "Order all the guards to assemble, and those who are capable of fighting to come with me, and all the other old and weak women and children stay in the inner fort, and if we fail to defend ourselves, we will flee from the tunnels at once." ”

When they walked out of the hall, all the guards had gathered outside the gate, a total of more than forty people.

This efficiency made Renard secretly speechless, and he was also a little envious and ashamed, if the guards of the county of Meredith could catch up with half of the others, he would be satisfied.

Count Edward glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice: "The necromancer has appeared again, and the goal is very obvious, that is, he wants to capture this castle, what are you going to do?"

The guards straightened up and raised their weapons and shouted, "Kill him and defend our homeland." ”

Seeing this, Count Edward nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, then follow me." ”

There was no need for any impassioned statements, and all the people followed the old earl up to the walls of the outer castle, and in addition to the guards, more than thirty young men in the castle followed.

Everyone quickly noticed the location of the enemy, but there was no need to look for it, because the countless army of scarecrows had already drained the entire castle.

The guard who reported the news earlier opened his mouth and said in disbelief: "There were obviously not so many just now.

No one paid attention to his explanation, and even Count Edward's face was full of shock.

Renard took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "It looks like there's a tough battle going on." ”

He then looked at Count Edward: "I have two legendary warriors and three high-ranking warriors under my command, please give the battle order to the earl." ”

Hearing this, Oro also hurriedly jumped out and said, "And me, I am also a high-level martial artist. ”

In the face of countless necromantic puppets, the crowd did not show timidity, but chose to unite.

Hearing Lei Ye say that he had two legendary warriors under his command, Count Edward was not surprised, his eyes looked at Arka and Mark, obviously noticing the existence of the two for a long time.

He nodded and said, "The walls of the outer fort are too long, and we only have more than eighty people, so we can't defend all aspects at all, so let's retreat to the inner fort now." ”
