44. The dark shadow that broke in
Recently.
The field of vision was filled with blood-red streaks, and the Goblin Knight's iron bones, like wild beasts, marched on all fours, running wildly through the forest.
Covered only by a handful of armor, with terrifying red thorns protruding from the joints, and a face that is even more hideous than before, there are not many goblin features except for green skin...
As for why he was the way he was, Iron Bone's memory was also rapidly eroding, and he could still remember that he had promised the shaman the way he could fight againβthe blood of the Goblin King.
The shaman explained why he didn't follow the knight and cooperate in attacking the village, and if he did, the knight wouldn't have lost so badly.
Considering the interests of the clan, the knight is a destabilizing factor, and the shaman intends to take this opportunity to eliminate it, and if he can survive and bring back information by the way, or hurt the main combat power of the Terrans, it will not be a bad thing.
The iron bone that heard this sentence before dying was not angry, not even surprised, but eagerly asked how to get back on its feet, deep down in its heart, it would be defeated entirely because of its own weak fault.
The shaman was also surprised, and even regretted his previous decision... However, it adjusted its mindset in time, and its puzzled expression quickly returned to the easy-going smile that seemed to be always thinking about something.
Then from the mouth of the apostle who summoned the rats from afar, he took a small bottle of red liquid that was being held, claiming that it was the blood of the king, and the king handed it over, and the meaning was already clear.
The knight did not resist, gladly accepted it, and also temporarily gained some of the king's abilities - bloodthorns.
Then the price is to gradually lose your mind and eventually become a walking dead who accelerates the speed of life consumption.
Soon after advancing, the knights reached the sturdy vine wall of Liv Village, which required a long siege staircase to reach the edge, and at the top there were sharp and hardened vine branches, which were curved outwards and blocked, and could not be passed under normal circumstances, even if they reached there through the siege ladder.
But the state of the knight is far from the norm.
The blood spikes pierced its nails, and all four fingers became sharper. Like a tiger that can only climb trees, the knight's bloody claws piercing into the crevices of the vines, and running above the high wall perpendicular to the ground.
When he reached the point of the curved and sharp vine, the knight did not hesitate to let his body pass between them, and the skin of the wound was immediately opened, and it did not slow down.
In the middle of the night, a shadow that had successfully crossed the vine wall landed, and it entered the village, stomping on the roof of the wooden house closest to the vine wall.
"It's amazing~" exclaimed the shaman leaning on one of the birch trees, "I'd love to see the monster's enemies, but I can't keep up with its current speed." β
"If you can't settle down anyway, this may be the best place for you to go and enjoy the battle that consumed your last life." The shaman lowered his face and suddenly said solemnly.
Leaning down and placing his palms on the ground, this was the second confirmation that the village was free of the terrifying magic it had before.
It seems that his worries are superfluous, not that there are many strong people, but that the powerful magic power is concentrated in one person, that person has been solved by the reckless iron bones, and now there is no threat in the village.
Therefore, Iron Bone's action of drinking the blood of the Goblin King this time is also a bit redundant.
"It's that the king's blood could have been more useful," the shaman sighed, "and it can be used on the iron bone to fulfill his final wish, and then, I just need to count the corpses of the people in the village and report to the king." β
Anyway, the shaman walked towards the vine wall, as long as he summoned a slightly larger earth elemental colossus there, he could also pass through the wall, but unfortunately the earth elemental colossus moved slowly, and even the running speed of the human race could not catch up, but the attack speed was barely enough, or the current iron bone to chase and kill the people in the village is more reliable, from the magic breath, the villagers close to the outer wall have moved inward.
"This high wall, with the same strong roots buried underground, is very effective to stop the large army of goblins, I have to find a way to dig out the magic undo spell of the high wall from the mouth of the person who has the magic, it doesn't matter if the guy is killed by the iron bone, and the magic summoned by the undead bondage, hehehe."
Standing in front of the wall, the shaman raised his staff and finished chanting the mantra, a slight vibration came from the soles of his feet, and a pair of huge hands made of clay rose from the ground, constantly upward, lifting the shaman high into the air...... The dust thinned and revealed in the moonlight, the figure of a giant.

"If I can't beat it, can I run?" After listening to the village chief's introduction to the enemy, Xia Zuo was stunned at first.
Because he barely defeated the ancient werewolf of Lv25 in the cave, and because of that promotion from level 1 to level 5, I think it shouldn't be too difficult for the Goblin Knight of Lv27 now.
"I won't embarrass you, the village is not Your Excellency's hometown, and there is no reason why you must protect it..." The two of them had reached a short distance from the railroad tracks under the distant mine, which reflected a little white light in the moonlight from the smooth surface of the car.
Seeing that Xia Zuo was a little puzzled before, the village chief was an old guy with a Lv45, how could he lose at the hands of a knight, it was too hard to believe that it was an accident... Until I figured out the village chief's description of the Goblin Knight's appearance - more than two meters.
Xia Zuo clearly remembered that the Goblin Knight he first encountered was only as tall as his chest... Either it's not a Goblin Knight, or the Goblin Knight has been strengthened by some kind of power. The village chief may have really been able to beat the goblin knight who somehow became two meters tall, and after losing, he lied to himself that he was bound by faith and fell for the other party, Xia Zuo thought about it a lot, and gradually felt strongly so.
"You're right," Xia Zuo affirmed without hesitation, "For me, of course, my own life is more important than Liv Village, and I have to return to the place where I came from safely." β
After the previous test of the "dodge counterattack" ability, Xia Zuo was already very sure that he was not absolutely safe, as long as he didn't resist, he could "hit the tree", so what if the enemy used magic that affected his mind and let himself accept the damage happily? When the time comes, obediently wait for death?
That didn't happen, and Xia Zuo couldn't guarantee it, but as long as there was such a possibility, he didn't think there was any need to take risks, especially since he heard the village chief say that there should be a powerful magic user behind the opponent to support... That's supposed to be a mysterious wizard who can silence buff magic, and it must be difficult to deal with.
Taking a step back, the enemy did not master the magic that affected the mind, but summoned a summoned beast like the "Fire Element Apostle", that thing was full of fire, and Xia Zuo felt that when he counterattacked, he would definitely come into contact with the summoned beast and set it on fire.
In the same way, encountering a similar enemy, Xia Zuo must be very difficult.
"We've said it, and I'm not sure we'll fight for you until the very end."
"I can understand... But please, hold on until the arrival of reinforcements from the royal capital. β
"Roaring ββ!"
While anxiously deliberating, a shrill roar came from the direction of the main gate of the village, and it seemed that it was not far away.
The light holding the fireflies was not clear, and there was a faint black shadow running in zigzags, constantly collapsing the wooden house.
Xia Zuo vigilantly drew his sword.
"Stand farther away, old village chief, you have no ability to protect yourself for the time being."
