Chapter 169: Changes in the Hunting Ground
On the outskirts of Lancaster, a hunting ground for the nobility.
As a hunting ground specially built for nobles, in addition to a wide variety of game, it is natural that there are quite elaborate and very sturdy cabins as a resting place.
Because of the good environment, beautiful scenery, and the perennial patrol of the patrol team to ensure that there are no monsters in the hunting grounds, even in the days outside the hunting season, there are still some nobles with their families to visit this kind of place.
There was only one door in the wooden house, and it was very convenient for the guards to guard and watch the wind, but now it was obviously a different situation.
"Mom, I'm afraid ......"
The little girl shrank in her mother's arms and shivered.
"Gwendoline, don't be afraid, your grandfather will definitely send someone to save you." The gentle lady gently stroked her daughter's head, comforting her over and over again.
Where the wooden house was originally a door, a huge head was stuffed into it.
It was a terrifying head that had the characteristics of a fish and a human face at the same time.
The noblewoman received an aristocratic education since she was a child, and she was also familiar with the monster illustrated book written by Lancaster folklorists, and knew a thing or two about the monsters that haunted the vicinity of Lancaster. But she never knew there were such monsters around here.
The two eyes on the head of the human-faced fish, which were slightly bulging like light bulbs and could rotate freely at 360 degrees, were staring at the few remaining people in the room.
Some soldiers saw that it was stuck in the door frame, and thought that they had lost their mobility, and wanted to take these opportunities to poke the monster's eyes blindly, and then cut off their heads to kill the other party, but they were spit out by this monster and rolled directly into their mouths.
The heavy armor, tough enough to easily defend against blade slashing, was no different from jelly beans in the mouth of this monster with human-like teeth, and the poor soldier only screamed and then was chewed and clicked, turning into a puddle of minced meat mixed with pieces of iron, which was eaten whole in a few moments.
Several of the soldiers couldn't bear the tremendous pressure of being watched by the strange fish, and their whole people collapsed, they felt that they were certain to die, and even wanted to taste the noble lady and the orthodox heir of Lancaster City in her arms before they died, but they were killed by two skilled maid guards around the noble lady, and became the food of the strange fish.
After that, the atmosphere of the whole cabin became more and more desperate.
While it is indeed very sturdy and beautiful, the chalet is not well stocked with food and water as no one is going to spend the night here.
What's even more troublesome is that there isn't just a human-faced monster fish around.
As they fled into the cabin, there were at least six or seven of these huge and terrifying monsters around!
The noblewoman didn't know how these strange fish attacked, but judging from their teeth, they were predominantly omnivorous, and she felt that she could even hear the sound of fish gnawing on the wooden walls outside.
To be honest, the so-called 'sturdy wooden walls' alone are not reassuring.
Coupled with the fact that the last exit of the wooden house was blocked by monsters, it was almost a lifeless situation.
At the same time, the noble lady knew very well that the current lord of Lancaster, Korinf, was also in an extremely short supply of manpower, if it weren't for this, Korinf would not risk offending people, go to those big churches, and forcibly ask the other party to send the Holy Cult Army to help clean up the surrounding swamp fishmen.
Even if I die here, I'm going to at least let Gwendoline escape......
When she thought of this, the noblewoman once again hated the design of the cabin that did not even have an escape passage.
"Divide the rest of the water and food." The lady saw that Gwendoline, who was tired of crying, fell asleep in a daze, and then said to her two maid guards: "After eating, take a good rest and recover your strength." Later, just break the wall and choose a direction where there are no fish monsters to escape! ”
"What about you?" One of the maids asked worriedly, noticing that the other party had not mentioned herself.
"I'm running too slow, and I'm just dragging you down...... It's better for me to distract them, as long as you can get Gwendoline out!" "The lady has made up her mind.
Gwendolin's father, the son of Kaulinf, died suddenly in the woman's belly because of his indulgence, but he was clearly so flawed in some way that he had no heirs but Gwendolin.
And the old Kaulinf married only one woman in his life, and also only one child of his son, and had no other blood.
Therefore, if even Gwendoline dies here, then Lancaster City will eventually fall completely into the hands of the royal family of the Varla Empire.
"But......" The maid clearly did not want to leave her master.
At this moment, the hiss of the fish monster was heard outside.
The noblewoman's face changed, and she was impressed by the sound, which was the excitement of the fish monsters when they found their prey.
Could it be that Lancaster's rescue has really arrived?
No, there was no distress signal at all, and there was no way that Lancaster knew what was going on here.
In addition, because there is a garrison of noble hunting grounds here, it is impossible for Lancaster's army to sweep the swamp fishmen, as well as those chaotic Holy Cult troops, to appear here.
The fish monster was discovered by an ordinary person who inadvertently broke into this place because he didn't know the way. The noblewoman immediately came to such a conclusion.
I'm sorry, but we can't save ourselves. She said silently in her heart.
"Mom?" Awakened, Gwendoline looked at her mother.
"Don't be afraid, Gwendoline." The noble lady could only try to comfort: "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon." ”
However, the fish monster's hiss did not calm down as she thought, but became more and more high-pitched.
Then the sound of the battle gradually came in from outside, as if someone was fighting all the way from a distance.
There is the screeching sound of gold and iron intersecting with the blade slashing at the fish monster, and there is also the violent explosion caused by magic or magic, and the angry screams and curses of the fish monster are sandwiched in between, making the battle feel extremely fierce.
The two maid guards with swords also wanted to go out to participate in the battle, but they were stared at by the fish head blocking the door.
At the same time, the situation outside is very uncertain, and they are afraid that once they break through the wall, the fish monster that has already solved the enemy will come and eat the noblewoman and Gwendoline.
After a few more moments, it was finally quiet again.
"Who won?" The maid guard asked her companion.
"It's supposed to be a fish monster." Another maid guard looked gloomy: "You also know how terrible these fish monsters are...... The garrison of nearly 500 people in the hunting ground was wiped out before they could even send a distress signal, and the elite city guards who followed their master were all killed without a chance to resist......"
Not only is the fish monster extremely powerful, but the scales on its body are the same as the iron armor, and ordinary attacks can't even break through the defense.
She paused for a moment and continued, "The one who can fight the fish monster for so long is definitely an elite army of more than two hundred people. ”
"Can't it be a team of transcendentals?" The maid guard who asked the question just now couldn't help but ask.
"Surely you haven't been in contact with the Transcendent, have you? The team of those inhuman monsters is very terrifying, and it should be able to deal with these monsters faster and not for that long. The maid who was asked shook her head and sighed, "And if the elite legion wins, there should be cheers...... But now it's quiet outside, so the fish monsters must have won. ”
Her words were so reasonable and convincing that even the noble lady couldn't help but nod her head, feeling that her guess was not wrong, and that she could only rely on herself to get out of trouble.
Suddenly, the head of the fish blocking the door opened its mouth and let out a piercing hissing sound.
This turn of events startled everyone in the room.
Just when they thought that the fish monster was trying to force its way into the cabin, its eyes and mouth burst out with a large amount of juice, and its eyes that looked a little terrible like light bulbs gradually became cloudy, and its head swayed for a while, crushing the door frame of the wooden house into a cloud of sawdust, and finally fell to the ground as if exhausted, and died.
The two maid guards glanced at each other, not quite sure what was happening.
But before they could step forward to test whether the fish monster was playing dead or if something strange had really happened, the fish monster's body gradually became transparent, and then the entire head disappeared with the outer body, leaving only the four pitch-black organs evolved from the fins and some claws......
"What's going on?" Not only the maids, but even the well-informed ladies had never seen such a situation, and they didn't know what to do.
At this moment a boy who was slightly older than Gwendoline ran in from outside the door, and when he saw the four of them, he was stunned for a moment, and ran out again in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Uncle Mufasa! There's someone in the house! ”
Then a calm and deep male voice asked, "Who is it?" Hunting ground garrison? ”
"I don't know, it's a woman!" The boy replied.
"What's that color?"
"Yellow!"
The four people in the room looked at each other.
They couldn't help but look at each other, and their hearts were filled with the same question: What is yellow about them?
But they didn't have much time to think, and the adult man outside walked in.
The moment the lady saw each other, her body tensed.
She once saw this face in an investigation report when she was cleaning up the desk for the city lord of Kaulinf!
It was the result of a painstaking investigation by the city lieutenants who found out that the murderer who might have killed Baron Nigrania!
