Gnoll people look like coyotes in appearance, they walk upright, use a lower lingua franca, have a loose social structure, and have nothing but appetite in their heads.

    In the eyes of the gnolls, all living things are food, including their kind.

    Their craving for food does not diminish even after death.

    The gnolls running towards Loria are very short, they look thin and thin, and they are not even as tall as the pink loli.

    Three of them stopped more than twenty meters away and began to draw their bows, but they were quickly pierced by two ice arrows that arrived almost at the same time, and the other was ignited by the oncoming fireball before it could make any superfluous moves, and let out a miserable howl.

    The last guy who wanted to rush up for melee combat was timid, and it tried to run away but tripped over the tiny tentacles on the ground, and was soon killed by another ice arrow.

    Since learning magic, Miss Loria's attack methods and attack ability have been greatly improved, and although Vanilla is lazy to practice magic, after making a deal with Loria, her magic power has also increased significantly, and the fireball is from her.

    After towing the boat to the shore and hiding, Loria went to check the corpses of several jackals, and before she could get close, she smelled a strong stench, these monsters about one meter three tall had already rotted and died...... Died before being killed by Loria.

    They are the undead with precursor shells, and they are also the rotten skin gnolls in the mouths of those humans who fled to the mysterious island.

    "It stinks, it's disgusting!"

    Vanilla vomited after lying on her stomach on a pile of bushes. It took a long time to recover, and it was the first time she had encountered the undead.

    "Spit and spit and get used to it. ”

    Loria kicked the jackal who was completely immobile under her feet, took out her compass and compared it with the map for a while, and said, "Have you vomited enough?" If you can't reach the castle on the island before dark, you'll have to spend the night with these spirits. ”

    Miss Loria is a vampire who gets more and more energetic at night, but vanilla may not be able to adapt to the night...... Gnolls have never understood what a fair duel is, they are social creatures that can go up as much as they can, and since they have come to a dangerous place, it is better to be careful.

     Picking up Elymeow, Loria walked southwest with a parasol in one hand. Vanilla, who was so smoky by the smell of corpses, resisted the urge to vomit out her stomach and chased after her with her hand over her nose.

    ……

    Lieutenant Campedora was posted to Fenris Island more than a year ago. Succeeded an elderly captain as commander of the castle garrison.

    Originally, he had a major at his head and more than sixty soldiers under his command, but now he was the supreme commander of the island's garrison - commanding seven soldiers, two of whom were villagers from nearby villages.

    "Go get some firewood." Burn these monsters. ”

    Lieutenant ordered two warriors to go together in a withered woods far from the castle in search of fuel in order to burn the corpses on the ground, they looked like coyotes, but they were frighteningly tall - more than two meters tall, and the lieutenant and his warriors called this monster the rotten brute to distinguish them from the other weak gnolls.

    Four months ago, these rotting monsters suddenly appeared on the island, and at first, the commander of the castle did not pay much attention. A small team was sent to exterminate them, but gradually, the number of rotting gnolls grewed. They attacked and killed the island's towns and villages, attacking and killing people everywhere, and after the island's inhabitants were dead or fleeing, and nearly half of the population had been lost, the major became frightened and wrote to the royal capital for help. On the one hand, send more people to go around exterminating the gnolls.

    However, the power of the rotten gnolls has grown, and the warriors sent out will be able to gain something at first. Gradually, they began to suffer casualties and even casualties, and when the Major decided to hold on to the castle, he was killed by the Gnoll army that raided the island's fortress.

    After paying heavy casualties, the remaining warriors repelled the gnolls.

    Campedora had the highest military rank among the survivors, and according to the wartime regulations of Lordaeron's army, he automatically became the commander of the defenders of Fenris.

    In the beginning, he also followed the example of the dead colonel to organize his men to eliminate the wandering gnolls, and by the way, search and rescue the villagers who could not escape, but these monsters are like endless, no matter how they are encircled, their number is increasing.

     It wasn't until the lieutenant saw a gnoll in a battle with a scar on his head that almost covered his entire face, that he understood the mystery - he had killed the gnoll in a previous battle, and the scar on his face was due to him...... These monsters will come back from the dead.

    The number of soldiers became dwindling, and by the time Lieutenant Campedora had no power to attack, he had to use the castle's high walls to block the rotten gnolls' night attacks again and again.

    Burning monsters, preparing stones, and repairing damaged weapons, the defenders, without any assistance, still hold on to the last refuge on Fenris Island.

    The last rays of the setting sun shone on the tattered double-headed eagle banner on the city walls, and no one knew if the castle would fall tonight.

    ……

    "The spirits of the flames, at my command, converge to my fingertips, condense into a berserk force, and tear apart my enemies...... Flame Blast. ”

    Loria chanted the spell of the Fire Blast, and two ice arrows flew forward towards a tall, flail-wielding gnolf, one of which struck the gnoll in the chest, piercing its body and freezing its heart.

    The gnoll fell to the ground, and Loria stepped forward and cut off its head with her sword...... She's recently discovered a trick for using Ice Arrows, which shoot at the heart of an enemy, and the attached Frozen Magic damage works wonders.

    "You can't do that!

    Although the teacher is a dull soul, the herbs from the orthodox mage school are very dissatisfied with Loria's behavior of selling dog meat on a sheep's head.

    "Hello verbose, I've got the final say on my magic. ”

    Loria shook off the blood stains on her sword and wiped it clean with her handkerchief, "I'm going to correct what I said before, they are not undead...... It's the first time I've seen such a strange state, both like an undead and a normal creature, and sure enough, the improved undead plague is very difficult to infect creatures other than humans. ”

     Throwing away the handkerchief, Loria unsheathed the long sword, her movements were a little stiff, and the weapons that were more than a meter long were still very uncomfortable for her, and if it weren't for Renault's previous harsh training, she wouldn't even be able to use them properly.

     opened the holy book that radiated a faint light, and she saw the number twenty-one in the sanction column, but the redemption was still zero. (To be continued)
