Chapter 228: Playing with it
Olena looked silently at the fifteen dried corpses in front of her, and not long ago, they had stood hopefully in the castle hall, looking up at herself, hoping that she would be able to get them out alive.
"Miss, we can't stay here for long. A silver-level knight, armed with a blood-stained heavy sword, approached Olena and gestured to the periphery of the group.
"I know. Olena glanced up and saw a knight of the second rank of bronze armed with a spear, shattering the skulls of several skeleton soldiers, and a knight carrying a hammer that knocked the skull of a ghoul out......
On the periphery of the team, as far as the eye could see, swaying skeletons and slow-moving zombies kept coming out of the gray fog, and from time to time a ghoul jumped out and pounced on the roofs of the low houses on both sides of the road.
Because their strength is too weak, the knights killed batch after batch, but these low-level undead still kept popping up, and the number seemed endless.
Most necrons don't have the normal five senses of living beings, their perspective, and the way they perceive the world and perceive their surroundings are completely different from normal creatures.
In the eyes of the undead, the living beings are as conspicuous as fireflies in the night, and there is no special way for the living beings to hide their existence in the eyes of the undead.
Therefore, even if the Earth Dragon Convoy does nothing, just standing still and not making any noise, it will still attract a steady stream of undead in the city, and Olena doesn't know how to restrain and hide the aura of life emitted by this team.
"I'm sorry. Looking at the corpses of ordinary people who had died tragically under the attack of the spirits, Olena looked guilty, and then she raised her staff and smashed it into the pile of corpses with a fireball spell.
All intact corpses must be incinerated, as all the dead will be resuscitated and cannot rest in peace within the area of the Scourge of the Dead.
"Keep going. After watching the corpses that had begun to move gradually turn to ashes in the flames, Olena calmed the surviving ordinary people, re-boarded the top of the carriage, and directed the team to continue out of the city.
......
In the past, Olena thought that Ansell City was a small city that could be circled by a griffin in ten minutes, but now she thinks that Ansell City is also quite big, and the road out of the city is so long.
Although she has long been mentally prepared, in the undead natural disaster that has enveloped the entire city, there will definitely not be only some low-level undead, but when she really encounters a higher level of undead such as abomination and demons, Olena's heart is also very helpless.
When more than half of the spell scrolls she was carrying were consumed, and two of the dragon carts were lost, Olena finally led the team of six dragon carts left to the gate of Cecil City.
At this time, only half of the guards who followed her out of the castle were left, and the two silver-level knights were still alive, but they were not in good shape.
One of them lost an arm and became a one-armed knight, with at least half of his combat power cut by more than half.
The other one, seemingly intact, but his condition was the most serious, because his face was blue, and there was a black gas looming on his forehead, he had been poisoned by the plague corpse, and if it weren't for the support of his silver physique, which was about to leave the human realm, he would have become a ghoul by now.
Despite this, the size of the team led by Olina has not shrunk, but has expanded more than ten times. The extra people are all city dwellers who have been contained along the way, and some have volunteered to join adventurers who also want to escape the city.
"It's finally time to leave Ansell City. Looking at the closed gates, the blood-stained corpses all over the ground, and the goods scattered all over the ground, Olena breathed a sigh of relief, and around her, the humans who also saw the city gates cheered and cheered.
Now, they have only one thought in their minds: to leave this tomb-like city, and then they will be safe and no longer have to worry about being afraid. They didn't or didn't want to wonder if the other cities of the Kingdom of Bavaria were the same as Ansell.
"Quack, good. At this moment, a chilling laughter sounded over the city gate, instantly suppressing the cheers of the fleeing procession of thousands of people.
Everyone fell silent, looking up in the direction where the laughter had come from, where a "skeleton" dressed in black robes and holding a bone staff slowly fell from the necromantic gray mist.
Although there was not a trace of flesh and blood on this "skeleton", everyone could feel a look of appreciation when they looked at its skull wrapped in a raging soul fire. It's like a child watching a mouse go through a maze of his own making.
"Lich!" looked at the skeleton levitating above the city gate, and Olena had an undisguised look of despair in her eyes, this was no longer an existence that their team could fight.
But the lich standing in front of them did not do anything to them, but let out a voice of the soul that anyone could understand and understand what they meant.
"Although I have summoned most of the mid- and high-level undead born in this city, there will still be one or two missing, and it is really good that you ants can defeat and kill them. ”
Heavy footsteps rang out in all directions of the procession, accompanied by the sound of the lich's approving soul, and at the same time, there was the sound of crawling, the sound of women crying, and the sound of breaking the air in mid-air.
Fat, stitched and stitched, wielding a giant scythe and hook, and a foul-smelling abomination, a demon that looks like a small ghoul of its kind, and a high-level wraith with an almost materialized upper body and a clearly visible face......
Head after head for the fleeing team, incomparably powerful undead appeared around them, slowly surrounding them, allowing despair to spread rapidly.
"Quack, I think you should thank me, without me, you ants wouldn't have been able to get here. The lich looked down at the fleeing procession, smiling wildly, and looking at the despair on the faces of the humans, it thought, "Your expressions are funny!"
After laughing for a while, the lich turned his gaze to the girl standing on the roof of the earth dragon's car, "Young human girl, your every move is under my watch. I'm a little curious, what is your relationship with the lord of this city?"
"......" Olena looked at the lich with a blank face, she had already realized why she had encountered so few mid-level undead along the way. Because this lich is playing with them for fun.
"Don't you answer, let me guess, it's the relationship between father and daughter!" the lich quack laughed, "Tsk, looking at your soul fluctuations, I should have guessed correctly, so, girl, do you want to see your father?"
"Where is my father?" heard the lich mention his father, and Olena, who was ready to accept death, was no longer calm.
"Do you want to see your father so much? Gaga, gracious, for the sake of seeing that you have brought me a great deal of pleasure, let me grant your request. The lich laughed wildly, then waved his staff.
"Come out, my valiant knight, and meet your daughter!
