Chapter Eighty-Five: The Rescue Begins

Kuser took a few steps towards the stone wall, flicked the mechanism, and the stone wall in front of him slowly opened, and a faint light appeared in the gradually opening exit.

The dwarves, who were sighing in their study, suddenly saw a bookshelf move, and in a few moments a hole appeared in the ground.

Everyone looked at Kusai and Zero who climbed up from the hole in amazement, and the two motioned for everyone to be quiet, and immediately separated to untie everyone.

"Go to the tunnels, and we'll find a way to save the others. Zero instructed a female dwarf after untying her.

The dwarf said "thank you" to him gratefully, and walked in with the others who had entered the tunnel.

"Zero!" Sula called out his name as she looked at Zero as she approached.

"Aunt Sula," Zero asked as he walked up to her and untied her, "what about Archie, aren't the women and children locked up here, and why isn't he with you?"

As soon as Zero finished asking, Sula couldn't stop crying next to him, she didn't dare to make too much noise, so she had to bury her head in Zero's chest and cry a few times, then she raised her head, looked at Zero with red and swollen eyes, and said in a choked voice, "Archie...... He...... He was given ...... by goblins Taken away, and a couple of other children, they ...... It's all your friends, Zero, you must save them! If something happens to Archie, I don't want to live!"

"Aunt Sula, don't worry!" Zero put his hand on Sula's thin shoulder and comforted her, "I came back with Grandpa Kusse to rescue everyone and drive the goblins out of the village!

Sula nodded her head with tears in her eyes, holding back her tears that made her cough uncontrollably, Zero patted her on the back and said, "We have to hurry, you guys go through the tunnel and evacuate the village." Women and children are a constraint for the men, and the goblins threaten the men with you, and as long as you are safe, the men will be free to fight the goblins to the end. Grandpa Cusse and I brought all the eighteen holy warriors from the cellar, and as long as the men get these weapons, those goblins are no match at all, and we will definitely be able to defeat them. ”

Sula couldn't speak, just cried and nodded, and Zero lifted Sula up from the ground and sent her to the entrance of the tunnel. Sula glanced back at Zero before entering, and after Zero nodded firmly at her, Sula turned her head and entered the tunnel.

Zero turned around and continued to untie the others, and after a while, the people in the study were all in the tunnel, and Zero and Kuse walked lightly to the courtyard to untie the people outside.

"After entering the tunnel, keep moving forward, don't turn when you encounter the first fork, continue to move forward, turn left at the second fork, just go all the way to the end, there is water and food, and medicine, you settle down in it first, and we will go and save the others. After explaining to the others in a low voice, Cousse turned to save the others, and the unbound people walked one after another towards the entrance to the tunnel in the study.

Zero was crouching on the ground to untie the remaining few people, when he suddenly heard movement overhead. As soon as he looked up, he saw two goblins climbing onto the roof of the study, and they just happened to look down to see Zero and Kusai untying everyone, and one of the goblins let out a puzzled "quack".

"Not good!" Zero was shocked, and immediately stretched out his hand and stabbed the goblin in his hand towards the goblin by the eaves, and a wind blade of more than 10 meters extended out in an instant and stabbed the throat of one of the goblins, and the goblin clutched his throat and fell down in the grass in the courtyard before he could scream.

Zero hurriedly turned his eyes to look at the other goblin, only to see that it had been cut in two by the sword qi that Kusai drew his knife and swung it out, and its upper body fell to the ground, the green goblin blood infected the ground, and its lower body was frozen by the cold knife qi on the eaves, and the green blood fell to the ground along the eaves with a "pop, pop" dripping sound.

"It's fast, young man. Cousey walked over to Zero, patted him on the shoulder, smiled and whispered to him.

"You're not slow, old man. Zero said to Cousse with a smile.

Wiping the cold sweat that had just come out of his forehead, Zero glanced at the two goblins who had just died and scolded in a low voice: "These two little green skins are really skinny." ”

The last few people were successfully transferred into the tunnel, and Kuse stood by the bookshelf and flicked the mechanism, and the entrance to the tunnel slowly closed and returned to normal. Kusai then turned to Zero and said, "Let's discuss the next plan." ”

Zero nodded, listening to what Cousse had to say.

"There are still thousands of goblins stationed outside the village, there are too many of these goblins, we can't fight with so many goblins, besides, there are many men who have been injured big and small, even if we have eighteen holy weapons in hand, we must think of countermeasures, and we must not be reckless. Cousse analyzed.

"Well," Zero said with a slight frown, nodding, "and there are still a few children in the hands of the goblins, and we have to rescue these children before we can fight the goblins head-on." ”

"Yes," Kusse said, rubbing his beard, "there is an alchemy matrix outside the walls of the dwarven village, but it's just a purely defensive barrier, not the kind of killing barrier outside the dwarven living area. But we can open this barrier and block most of the goblins outside the village, so that we can concentrate on dealing with the goblins in the village, and the goblin leader is also in the village, so if we can capture it, it won't be difficult to make the goblin group retreat. ”

"This is a good idea! There is actually an alchemy matrix, but why didn't this enchantment be opened when the goblins raided?"

"Because this is the life-saving enchantment of the dwarven village, it is usually closed, and it takes time to open it, and the goblin raid came too suddenly, or in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, and it was definitely too late to open the enchantment. Cousse explained.

"Oh ......," Zero nodded in understanding, "Then let's go open the barrier." ”

Kusse looked at Zero and said, "The movement when the barrier is opened will definitely be noticed by those goblins, and it will be too late to save the others." ”

"Shall we ...... Let's save everyone first?" asked Zero hesitantly.

"That's not going to work," Kusse said with a frown, "After saving everyone, even if we go to open the barrier again, the children are still in the hands of the goblins, and they will still threaten us with the children." ”

"This ...... What then?" asked Zero anxiously.

"We have to go our separate ways. Only I know how to open the barrier, I will go to the edge of the village to open the barrier, and you will take advantage of this time to deliver the weapons to the men, and then go and rescue the children, we will limit it to two hours, and after the two hours of separation between the two of us, you will do your best to rescue the children. If we can't sneak it out, just wait until two hours later when the barrier is opened, and take advantage of the chaos to rescue the children, as long as the children are under our control, then we are not afraid of being threatened by the goblins. Do you understand?" Cousse explained to Zero.

After listening to Cousse's words, Zero stared at him for a few seconds before speaking, "I...... I'm going to save everyone by myself? There are so many goblins, I ......."

"Zero, I know, it's hard for you...... "Kusse patted Zero on the shoulder, "it's dangerous and difficult, to be honest, you don't owe anything to the dwarves anymore? you can even pat yourself on the ass and walk away now, and if you do, I won't blame you for anything, after all, you don't have to be responsible for the safety of the dwarves." However, I now beg you in my personal capacity, begging you to help the dwarves one more time, as long as the dwarves can survive this crisis, as long as I am alive afterwards, I promise to do one thing for you, as long as it does not violate morality, anything is fine. ”

Zero scratched his head and said to Kusse with a wry smile: "Grandpa Kusse, don't say that, you are an elder, and you are also the teacher who taught me the magic trick for so long. Don't worry, I won't run away, the dwarves saved my life when my life was hanging by a thread, and let me learn the enchantment I wanted to learn, Uncle Yantai's family has taken me in for so long, Aki, Kunu and Imame are also my friends, I will definitely rescue them. I was just ...... For a moment, there is no intention of running away alone. ”

After hearing this, the expression on Kuse's face softened, and he looked at Zero and said sincerely, "Thank you!"

"Without further ado, let's get moving. Zero Zhengse said.

The two took advantage of the night to walk outside the study. The two took advantage of the night to walk outside the study. Walking into the courtyard, Kuser leaped onto the roof, kicking the lower half of the goblin's body, which had been cut in two, into the grass in the courtyard, and then he looked down at Zero standing in the courtyard looking up at him. Zero tilted his head and spread his hands to Kusse, who sighed helplessly and shook his head, jumped down again, and took Zero's arm and led him to the roof.

Zero stood firm on the roof, glanced at the courtyard at his feet, patted his chest, Kusse looked at Zero with a panicked look on his face, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled and said to Zero: "I suggest that you have time to practice more fighting spirit, not only to strengthen your body, but also to master a lot of convenient and practical skills." ”

Zero heard the meaning of Kusse's words, and he was avenging Zero's ridicule for the dwarves for not using telekinesis. Zero smiled bitterly and pursed his lips and replied, "I am a man who wants to dedicate his life to great magic, how can I run to cultivate Dou Qi halfway? That is too unprincipled." ”

"Hmph, if you don't have an idle temperament like you, if you don't cultivate your fighting spirit and train your body and bones well, sooner or later you will have to plant it on your weak physique. Cousse said with a wink.

"Don't be prejudiced against all magicians, okay?" Zero reluctantly explained to Kusse, "My physical fitness is still very good, but I have also lived in the Saling Jungle for five years, and I am often chased by demonic beasts, and I am much stronger than the average magician." ”

"Far worse than the average warrior," Kusse replied......, then crouched down and looked ahead.

Knowing that there was no point in arguing about the subject, Zero then crouched down and watched the village with Cusse.

The originally peaceful and peaceful dwarven village was now occupied by goblins, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, there were goblins jumping up and down, they were smashing everywhere, creating all kinds of chaos, and even a few houses were set on fire, and many goblins cheered happily around the houses that had been burned by the fire.

Zero frowned and looked at the scene in front of him, and said in disgust: "These goblins are really wild and hard to change. ”

Kusse, who also had a solemn face on the side, said in a deep voice: "Goblins have always been such a barbaric species, let's act quickly, we must not let them continue to run rampant." ”

"There are a lot of goblins around, and there are several teams of goblins patrolling around the study, and we have to avoid them. The men's storehouse is in the northwest, Grandpa Cusse, just take me to a corner around there and put me down, and I'll find a way to get the weapon to them." Zero said to Cousse seriously.

"Good. Cousse agreed, and jumped out with Zero's arm. The shadow flew over the head of a goblin at his feet, and the goblin looked up suspiciously, only to see the cold moon hanging alone in the night sky, and the goblin "quacked", lowered his head and continued to walk forward.

After Kusai led Zero to a hidden house, Kusai let go of Zero's arm, looked him in the eye and said, "Further on is the goblin guarded storehouse, you must be careful, make sure to send the weapon to the man's hand." ”

"Well, don't worry, I'll deliver it. Zero nodded in reassurance.

Kusai stared at Zero's silver-gray pupils, his wrinkled cheeks looking very old in the moonlight, and he slowly spoke to Zero, "Zero, you are holding the last hope of my dwarven clan at this time, and you must be worthy of the promise you made." ”

Zero was stunned, then chuckled and said to Cousse: "Are you afraid that I will escape? Don't worry, I will repay my kindness, even if I really want to escape, I have to send the weapon and then escape." The dwarves saved my life, and now is the time for me to repay the favor. ”

Kusai's face softened, he nodded and said to Zero: "The two of us are separated here, I will open the enchantment, you go and send weapons, be careful, don't get caught, otherwise we will fall short." ”

"Well, I'll be careful, those goblins won't be able to spot me. Zero said confidently.

"It's two hours, and after two hours, whether you have a weapon delivered or not, I'll open the enchantment, and then join you as fast as I can. Cousse said earnestly to Zero.

"Understood. Zero nodded in reply.

Kusse slapped Zero on the shoulder, then turned and left without looking back.

Zero turned around solemnly, and the recitation field was fully opened, covering the environment around him to the greatest extent, and all the turmoil in the recitation field was reflected in his mind. Zero cast a concealment spell to hide in the darkness, silently approaching the direction of the storehouse.
