Chapter 42: Evil Beasts and Demons

"I knew it would be almost impossible for you to stay in the house in peace. Seeing a group of witches rushing up to the city, Rafa smiled bitterly.

"I thought you wouldn't talk nonsense, but I didn't expect you to have so much prejudice. Freya glanced at Rafa, then curiously observed the knights as they reloaded.

"That's preference, not prejudice. Rafa walked up to Feliscille with a gun in one hand, and he figured that she would not pass up the opportunity to use a gun.

"Without further ado, take it. As soon as Freya snatched a gun from his hand, she unloaded her magazine and began to reload it, following the example of the knights.

"Heda, why do you want it?" Rafa was helpless, and a cloaked figure snatched another gun from his hand, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Hedda who was covering his hair.

Fili agreed. Hedda didn't say much, and began to reload.

"Fili?" Rafa turned to look at Filicille.

"We don't need to do it today, just leave it to them. Felihill clasped her hands and looked into the darkness in the distance.

"Fili, you...... Well. ”

He had said something else, but seeing that Felihill's eyes were no longer the same craze for firearms as before, he silently shut his mouth, and it seemed that she had changed a lot in the days he had been unconscious.

But Felihill's fanaticism vanished, and another man's fanaticism reappeared.

Heda, who had always been calm, smiled in the shadow of her cloak.

Loading each bullet into the magazine, she could anticipate the beautiful scene of a fiery meteor spewing out of the muzzle.

Speaking of which, she didn't like to use weapons very much, but she also inadvertently liked this kind of weapon.

It was more than ten days ago, when she was making gun parts for Felihill, Elle was not familiar with fire control and often made crooked and substandard parts, so Felihill brought a good gun and asked her to copy it.

For the white-haired Heda, it couldn't have been easier to shape the pieces of iron, making hundreds of parts, and she already knew every part of the gun by heart, even more so than Barrow in the Iron Workshop, so while instructing Elle, she also began to play with this kind of thing that made weird noises.

When she inadvertently loaded a bullet and fired into the sky, the loud sound and strong recoil suddenly jumped her, and she instinctively released flames to protect herself.

As a result, not only did she burn Elle's clothes to the ground, but the gun in her hand turned into a real burning stick.

Although this was an accident, the careful Felicille found that the bullet that pierced the sky turned into a violent fire.

After being reminded by Felihill, Hedda felt that he might be able to use this thing even more powerfully.

Rafa looked at Heda, who was skillfully loaded, and didn't say anything more, since Felihill said to leave it to them, then he naturally didn't need to interfere, just tilted his head slightly, and looked at the strange figure moving on the frozen river in the distance.

"Your Highness, the knights have been reloaded and are ready to shoot. Captain Kono said respectfully.

"Don't worry, we don't even see what those beasts look like. ”

"Yes. ”

Due to the completion of the new city walls, the defense area of Icefield Castle has been increased, so even if everyone in the knights is standing on the city wall, it will not feel crowded.

At this time, the city wall is even more beautiful, very eye-catching.

For many knights, both male and female, had just come out of the feast and hurried to the city walls, many of them still wearing ceremonial robes.

So at a glance, in the queue with neatly set up guns and aims, there are many female knights still wearing beautiful and luxurious clothes and combing beautiful buns, and they are very beautiful and moving.

It's just that the solemnity and resoluteness in their eyes make them all look like cold beauties.

However, this does not feel awkward, but rather has the feeling of an iron-blooded rose.

"Huh, those guys......" Rafa, who had been looking from afar, finally saw the first slow figure crossing the glacier completely, and couldn't help but be taken aback, "What kind of monsters are they?"

Freya loaded the magazine, held the spear to her chest, and her eyes began to become solemn when she looked into the distance, "Evil beast Kosuo, I didn't expect that in addition to the southern continent, the eastern continent also began to appear. ”

"Corso, do you mean the crocodile that looks as big as a cow at the front?" asked Rafa.

"No, Corso isn't the name of some kind of beast, it's the umbrella term for all mutated beasts. Freya's vision seemed to be much farther than the others, and many of the beasts were still in the shadows, but she seemed to have seen them completely.

Kono, who didn't understand what Freya was talking about, took out his binoculars and began to look closely, and after a while, the slow-moving beasts finally appeared in his field of vision, and his face suddenly turned pale, "Not bad...... Those things are indeed ...... mutated. ”

Rafa wanted to ask something, but when he saw the demon beast that followed gradually manifest in the bright moonlight, he suddenly understood what mutation was, "Wow, I don't know how those guys got out of their mother's belly." ”

Felihill glanced at Rafa, who didn't like it when she said strange things.

The approaching beasts startled the knights on the ramparts, their hearts beating violently, and their breathing became heavier.

In the darkness, a low roar had been heard, and all kinds of strange-shaped monsters finally appeared in people's field of vision.

A giant wolf with three heads, a one-eyed giant, a giant boar with fangs like a sword, a snowy mountain with many arms growing on its back, a bear with strange wings, a combination of a werewolf and a horse, a monster with a snake's body and a bird's head......

These terrifying monsters seem to have been thrown into the furnace and smelted, and then spliced back together, with strange appearances and terrifying appearances, even Rafa, who has been a human in two lives, is secretly frightened.

When they saw the monsters behind these monsters, many people were completely frightened and trembled, and couldn't help but recall Rafa's strange words just now, "I really don't know how those guys were born out of their wombs." ”

"Keep in formation!" Seeing the slightly wavering knights, Captain Kono hurriedly shouted, "We have tall walls! Powerful muskets! What are you afraid of them for?"

Being so encouraged by Kono, the knights forcibly forced themselves to regain their calm, but the tense atmosphere present overwhelmed everyone.

Behind the evil beast Koso, there is a group of monsters that walk more slowly and more weirdly, if Koso can be regarded as a monster, then these things can be said to be evil.

It was a moving mass of bones and carrion.

Tall orcs covered in decay and white bones, all kinds of beasts that only have skeletons left but are still moving......

The most terrifying were the humans in tattered clothes and rotting flesh, who were much smaller than the tall orcs around them, but they were the most intimidating to the knights.

At first, Rafa was very worried about what would happen if these monsters invaded on a large scale, but after thinking about it, in order to fight these demons, the power of the witch was absolutely necessary!

Maybe this is an opportunity for the witches to appear in the open.

"I really want to bring the archbishops of the church over and show them what evil is. ”

After figuring out the key, Rafa didn't have too much to worry about, because there were so many witches under his command, even if muskets and explosives couldn't resist these evil beasts, then letting the witches take action could not only repel the evil beasts, but also change their impression of evil in people's hearts.

"Don't kill them all, I'm going to grab a few and go to the imperial capital, so that those nobles can 'open their eyes'. Freya, like Rafa, doesn't seem to worry about these monsters.

However, Freya's words frightened the knights around her, and her Royal Highness wanted to catch it at the first sight of this thing, right?

"Yes, Imperial Sister. ”

Rafa's response is even more impressive for the pair of heavy-tasting siblings.

However, after the "rough" conversation between the two, the knights felt a lot more relaxed, after all, even His Royal Highness the prince and princess were not worried, so what else did they have to worry about?

"Heda, let's see them in their entirety. As the Corso approached, Felihill, who had been silent, said to Heda.

Apparently, Hedda understood exactly what Felihill was talking about, and silently replied, "Hmm. ”

In the strange eyes of the crowd, Hedda raised his gun, but the muzzle of the gun was not aimed at Koso, but towards the sky.

"Centralized. ”

As a white-haired witch, Hedda has been able to control her magic to an extremely precise level, and at this moment, she concentrates her magic power on a bullet in the chamber of the gun, allowing her to carry her magic power to do things that she could not otherwise do.

"Bang!"

With a gunshot rang out, a fiery meteor streaked a clear trail in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Hedda secretly thought in his heart, "Burst!"

Then, in the sky above the Koso group, a violent ball of light began to burst out silently from a small dot.

The intense light suddenly made everyone's eyes squint involuntarily, and the earth, the city walls, the crowd, everything, all appeared from the darkness at this moment.

Darkness, dispelled by light.

Hedda listened vigilantly to all the voices around her, and although she wore a cloak to cover her hair, she was still a little scared, because this was the first time she had performed magic in front of so many people, and she was afraid that someone around her would suddenly say the word "witch".

This word was a taboo for her, and if she heard it from strangers in so many people, she was really afraid that she would not be able to control the flames and burn the crowd around her.

However, the ending made her breathe a sigh of relief, perhaps because everyone thought that this miracle was Rafa's masterpiece, so no one had anything to do with the illuminated ball of light and the witch.

A strong light burst out overhead, not only allowing the people on the walls to see everything in the distance, but also attracting the attention of the Corso beasts, who slowly stopped, looked up blankly, and stared straight at the ball of light, regardless of whether there were any eyes in their distorted and tattered faces.

"There are more than a hundred Koso, and there should be more than a hundred of the 'demons' in the back. Taking advantage of the light as bright as day, Rafa quickly counted the number of evil beasts.

"Demons, are they called that?" asked Freya.

"I said it casually. ”

"Very well, these guys will be called demons in the future. ”

"It turns out that the royal sister is also the first time to see this kind of walking dead?"

"No, I've seen them in the Southern Continent, but there aren't many of them, they were also with Koso at the time, so I didn't pay much attention to them," Freya tilted her head slightly, "but now it seems that the appearance of these filthy things is not necessarily a bad thing, at least for the witch......"

She glanced at Rafa, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they both thought of the possibility that the appearance of evil beasts and demons might greatly change the status of witches.

Heddah couldn't keep the bullet at bay, so when the mana ran out, the ball of light began to fade, and Corso and the beasts lowered their heads and moved on.

"Let's get started. ”
