Chapter Eighty-Five: Sighing Lady (2) Happy Code Words~
After waiting for almost a whole day in idleness, the attack came unexpectedly.
Strange to say, it seems that all the attacks are not seen in the dark, so they basically start at night or before dawn. And this time is no different. I looked at the bustling crowd in the dense forest around me and felt a little surprised. Compared to the last ambush, this time they did not arrange any hidden troops, and all the attackers lined up in a line, walking in a neat pace and approaching us little by little. At this time, the guards behind me began to become a little panicked, and the old man, who was already in the so-called safest place, also showed his sword, which could only be used as a decoration, and shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Well, yes, although I can hear that there is some fear and panic behind this tone, but there is still some determination. In this case, even if they die in the end, they probably won't die in fear. I smiled, and watched with interest as the group of attackers drew closer. Obviously, they probably want to talk to us before they decide to do it, well, should I give them such a chance?
But the next scene struck me as a bit of a surprise, and what I didn't expect was that the person who led the attackers to us this time was actually the same female knight from last time. Wait, what happened next kind of made me feel a little bit wrong. Because I found out that she had almost the same eyes as us. Yes, the chances are the same. If the color of the eyes is the same, it will be almost the same for a long time.
What kind of monster is this? I was immediately amused as I watched her and the other assailants slowly come to a distance of less than ten meters from us. Now, I can feel more clearly that this female knight is so similar to me. They all have the same gray and whitish skin, and the same expressionless faces.
"It's clear you're not human anymore. I stared at the female knight, who was almost identical to me, and said, "So, I want to be the nourishment I need to make you reincarnate the earth, and you won't be afraid, and they won't resist." "The knightess, however, just stared at me intently, and said nothing. Rather, a well-dressed nobleman next to her gave me a courtesy that I did not understand: "Hello ma'am, although I believe she would love to speak to you, it is a pity that she will never be able to speak to you again." And I'd love to talk to you, if you're still alive later. ”
Alive? I laughed, am I alive now, or am I dead? I don't know the question myself, does this so-called aristocracy of mankind know?
It was probably my laughter that made him feel embarrassed, and his forced smile suddenly disappeared and seemed a little distorted. Now the distorted expression made him look even more funny, and I couldn't help but laugh again.
"Damn woman!" he said hatefully, "Don't be embarrassed, if you choose to surrender now, I will let you enjoy it before you die." I didn't expect that the so-called auxiliary ministers didn't have a man who could handle it. “
"Can't women?"
"Woman?" I didn't expect was that the nobleman looked at me with some contempt. "Who do you think you are? If it weren't for politeness, I wouldn't want to talk to you any more nonsense. “
Hey, I sighed. "Maybe it's the woman you're talking about who I really am. "It's a pity that no matter how fierce our words were, the female knight next to him still didn't have any expression, and her eyes never blinked.
Interesting. Even the undead don't have the slightest change in expression like she did. Probably sensing the need to continue, the noble-dressed man stepped back and smiled strangely at me. It's like looking at a dying person.
Then the knightess moved. She had been standing by without saying a word, and she suddenly pulled a double knife from her waist and rushed towards me. What was she trying to do?
At first glance, the female knight moves quite fast, and she doesn't seem to have any fear. It's much braver than before. I watched playfully as she rushed towards me, not moving. If she thinks she can do anything to me with just these two knives, she will look down on me. I just snapped my fingers lightly, and a skeleton golem appeared out of thin air, blocking me in front of me.
But then she didn't expect me, and when she was just a stone's throw away from me, she suddenly swerved and rushed behind me. Well, it seems that her target is not me, but the humans behind her.
Besides, she's a monster for hundreds of years, but there are more than a hundred guards behind her. She could do it? Ignoring her, I started to let the skeleton puppet move forward. Find out how strong these attackers are this time. Unlike last time, this time there were not many people who came, only about 300 people. And not a single cavalryman was there. It seems that their trump card is this female knight.
But what happened next surprised me a little, what I didn't expect was that the skeleton hadn't gone a few steps before it was cut to pieces by a person who suddenly appeared. I looked at the person who suddenly appeared, and saw that the same skin as the female knight before me was like an undead. But the color of the eyes is exactly the same as that of the female knight.
Oh, interesting. I didn't expect a second one like that. "What is this?"
The nobleman had not yet recovered from the shock of the skeleton that had just appeared, and asked me in some fright, "Are you?"
I pointed to the bone fragments on the ground and smiled, "Haven't you seen it yet?"
"You filthy undead!"
Not again. "You say I'm dirty, but what are these two things?
The nobleman seemed a little hesitant, but still quibbled: "They are just tools created by the regent for our use, and you are the ones who should have died a long time ago but still want to live!"
Well, maybe that's the law of survival for all living beings living in the human world. Only what can be used by him has the value of living, and an outsider like me has no value at all. Even if we leave our hometowns just to help them. But it doesn't make any sense either. So, let me see if this so-called tool of mankind has any value in living in this world.
Unlike the female knight, this person should have been a male before, and it seems that he should be much older than the female knight. The skin on the face also appeared darker, and even showed signs of decay. It seems that unlike the previous female knight, this should be an inferior product. In addition, he was noticeably taller than a female knight, and was armed with a strange long-handled knife. The skeleton just now was caused by this big knife.
Well, it's powerful, but it's slow, but it looks like it's combative. So, what should I do about it?
A discordant voice came from behind what could no longer be called a man. "How's that? Scared, aren't you? Even if you're a real undead, there's no way to shake him. Lord Regent's words are true, although he was only created by us, but he is much more powerful than you real undead!"
I smiled. I just don't want to do it myself. I took my beloved baby out of the cuff, and it was a small black hand crossbow. The previous skill was not forgotten because he became an undead. Although I lost my weapon in the elven era, I made a better one. With it, I can turn any target into a skeleton puppet that only does what I have to offer.
Well, so be it. With a flick of my finger, the arrow inside flew into the sky like wings, and then split into pieces of various sizes in the air like rain. Of course, it's not very pretty, because every split arrow is pitch black. Moreover, when it falls, it will not water the land like raindrops, but will bring death. And will turn them into a member of the puppet.
I'm sure this is something they definitely don't want to meet, but since these people have already appeared, there is no possibility of going back alive. I don't want to protect these humans, but at least the old minister has to keep them. Otherwise, my own abrupt presence in a place where all humans are would have caused chaos. Is it possible to get what you want? So, these people, must die.
When the arrow fell, the glamorous-looking nobleman bore the brunt. When the first arrow stuck in him, he only felt pain. After screaming, he looked at me with resentful eyes. Then, a second arrow hit him in the back, leaving him lying on the ground limpant. At this time, he finally felt scared. With a panicked expression, he looked at his companions who came with him, only to find that most of them had fallen to the ground because of the arrows. However, no one has died as a result. He tried to move, but more and more arrows kept sticking into his hands and feet, so that he could no longer move.
I walked up to him and crouched down gently. He looked at him curiously.
"You, you devil!" he looked at me with vicious wickedness, perhaps sensing that there was no hope of life.
"What is the devil? Is he more terrible than me?" I lifted his head so he could see the tragedy before him. Of course, for him, this is indeed a tragedy.
The two people he relied on were not like human spirits, and they were not like the undead, and they were entangled by the old man's guards and my skeletons, respectively, and there was no way to get out of it after a while. Although the guards looked quite struggling, it was only a few minutes before the corpses of more than a dozen guards appeared on the ground, and those corpses looked quite strange, the wounds were purple-black blood, and the eyes of each corpse were strangely open, looking at the sky blankly. Well, it's weird, so I decided not to let him continue to look in that direction, but to see what happened to the man he boasted about being better than me.
Five skeletons were much smaller than him, but they were surrounded by death-defying skeletons. Each skeleton was armed with a giant shield and a long knife, and was fiercely slashing at him.
"See, they're all the people you brought. I was gently changed by me... "I made a gesture like magic. "And he became my faithful servant. And you, in a moment, will also be one of them. Like, these people. ”
I turned his head in an arc so that he could clearly see the flesh and skin of the dozens of struggling assailants behind him slowly detaching from their bodies, screaming and struggling, but only watching as their flesh and blood were gone. When all the flesh and skin left their bodies, they stood up again, but they were no longer human.
I looked at the nobleman with a smug expression, but what I didn't expect was that instead of feeling scared, he laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" I asked curiously.
He didn't speak, perhaps because of the poison in the arrows, he didn't have the strength to speak. He pointed in the direction of the female knight, his mouth open and closed, but unfortunately no sound came out. I looked in the direction he was pointing, and it was my turn to be nervous.
I saw that the corpses on the ground actually stood up slowly, staring at the guards who were a little panicked with wooden eyes, and slowly walked towards them. Oh, it seems that I have met a fellow practitioner, I looked curiously at the female knight who suddenly did not move at this time, as if she felt my gaze, and she suddenly turned her back to me and stared at me. The blood-red eyes kept throbbing, and the mouth was actually open. But not a word was spoken.
It does make me nervous, but it's not scared, maybe if I were human. But I'm just an undead. As for the thing in front of me that excites me, although I don't know what she should count, there is no doubt that she and he will definitely not be one of our undead.
It's good that I've been in this world for so long that I can finally warm up.
