Chapter 18: The Devil
"Unas and I will go to the front to scout in a moment, and the camp will be left to you and Whiteman." Gordon gets straight to the point and doesn't talk nonsense.
Darien nodded, and took the circle gem handed over by Gordon, which could open a small holy light barrier and was also a token for the vanguard officer.
Holding the boxy obsidian in his hand, the excitement stirred in Dari's peace of mind, leading the battle has always been his dream, he didn't expect Gordon to trust him so much.
Unas swallowed the miscellaneous grain from the bowl, mounted his big brown horse, and walked out of the camp with Gordon under the watchful eyes of Darian.
After riding for about ten minutes, getting closer and closer to the goal, both of them slowed down their horses, made a detour to a small piece of high ground, and looked down slightly at the small fishing village in front of them.
At this time, the sun has not completely set, the visibility is good, the fishing village is naturally built near the lake, it looks like there are only twenty or thirty households, at this time the village is quiet, not like a person.
Gordon said softly: "The last time I was here, I saw a figure in the village, I thought it was a survivor, and after entering the village, I found that the villagers had already become slaves of the Dreadlord Demon. ”
He didn't mention Joe and Gera, and Unas could guess that the two were probably besieged at that time.
"It's a trap, as you say," said Unas, strange, "can't you even tell the difference between the undead and the humans?" ”
"The villagers are not transformed into undead," Gordon explained, "and most of the Dreadlords are proficient in psychic magic and have the ability to manipulate the living. ”
Unas nodded, he pointed to the empty village and asked, "What is the situation now, since it is a trap, where has the bait gone?" ”
"Let's go, let's take a look." Gordon grabbed the horse's belly and headed for the small village.
"Aren't you afraid of being ambushed again?" Unas hurriedly caught up.
"Look at the lake, the fishing boats are gone, I think there should be no enemies in the village."
Unas looked in the direction Gordon pointed, and it was true that the shore was empty, as Gordon said, but just in case, he turned on the "Sensing the Undead", stared at the small thumbnail that shrouded a radius of 100 meters, and went to the small fishing village with Gordon one after the other.
The two ran around the village twice, finding nothing out of the ordinary, and no red dots representing the undead appeared on the thumbnails.
The two dismounted and cautiously entered one house after another, and searched one by one, but judging from the half-wet fishing gear and the fresh ash in the kitchen, the manipulated fishermen still lived a daily fishing life, playing the role of bait.
There was even a pot of cold fish soup found in one of the kitchens, but the two of them did not dare to eat it indiscriminately, so Gordon tested the temperature of the fish soup with his hands and speculated: "They should have left in the afternoon." ”
"Almost at the same time as the vanguard arrived at the lake, did they know we were coming?"
"Our actions are not hidden, and it is normal to be discovered," Gordon sneered, "but with the griffin knights, they can't run, as long as you follow them, you will definitely be able to catch Bethrys." ”
"Let's hope so"
"Let's take a look around and then go back to the camp."
"And what about this fish soup?"
"Drink it if you want, you are a saint, you may be fine if you drink it." Gordon's serious look didn't look like he was joking at all, and Unaston was speechless.
Just in case, the two began to scout in the woodland around the village, and until the double moon rose, they found nothing. At this time, the moonlight was still very dim, and I couldn't see anything clearly, so I had to collect the troops and return to the camp.
The terrain by the lake was very flat, and the two rode for a while, and a small golden point of light appeared in the direction of the camp, and Unas looked at Gordon suspiciously, Gordon's eyesight was certainly better than that of him, an otaku who faced the computer every day.
"It was Darien who activated the barrier, something must be wrong with the camp." Gordon sped up suddenly.
Unas also grabbed the horse's belly and swung his whip to chase after him.
From a distance of several hundred meters, it can be clearly seen that the camp in the distance is held by a hemispherical light mask, which emits a golden light, which is very conspicuous in the night.
Through the light of the light mask, the camp could be seen surrounded by colorful canines, and huge dark red bats flying in the air, the Holy Light Enchantment temporarily frightened these dark creatures from attacking.
The two looked at each other, and Dulema stopped sharply and turned to hide behind a hillside.
"No wonder I didn't meet these beasts along the way, it turned out that they were gathered." Gordon frowned, the Scourge Dog and the Night Bat are both monsters that mutate after ordinary animals have been contaminated by the plague, and are common in the Tirisfal Glades.
"What now?"
"The energy of the Enchantment Gem only lasts for more than an hour, and the enemy must be dealt with before then."
"The number of enemy 'people' is a bit large." Unas was a little worried, but in the past, it was a lot of experience.
"So just like last time, we must first find out who controls these dark creatures......"
Before Gordon's words were finished, the leader of the enemy couldn't hold back at first, only to see a green demon about two meters long emerge from the darkness, and a pair of huge bat wings stretched out behind the demon flapped slightly, causing it to levitate half a meter above the ground.
"This is Bethrys?" Unas asked.
"No, Bethrith's body is taller, and it's not green," Gordon clenched the reins, "this should be a Dreadguard, a subspecies of the Dreadlords." ”
The Dreadguard raised the whip in his hand, and there was a "snap" in the distance, and the cry of a scourge dog at its feet sounded the horn of attack, and the dark creatures charged towards the camp.
The Holy Light Enchantment can resist some dark magic, and dark creatures such as undead demons will also be weakened when they enter it, Darion ordered the soldiers to form a defensive formation, and the camp was built by the lake, and only the attack on the defensive side could be held for a while.
The target himself appeared, Gordon had already drawn his big sword, and without hesitation, he charged at the Guardian of Fear, Unas hurriedly added buffs to the two, turned on the Holy Seal and Aura, and took out the silver hammer from the space bag, the warm Divine Energy in his body gave him courage and strength, he swung his whip violently, and followed Gordon to rush towards the Guardian of Fear at full speed.
A distance of several hundred meters was instantaneous, and the Fear Guard also found the two, it waved its paws, and several catastrophic dogs rushed towards the two, and the war horse in the high-speed gallop was not something that a small stinky dog could stop, and with a few screams that could make dog lovers cry, several terrifying-looking dogs were knocked away.
The speed of the two slowed down, and Gordon wielded a greatsword burning with golden-red flames, roasting several large bats from the sky, and the Dread Guardian was already close at hand.
The demon didn't let the cannon fodder come to its death, and a roar of unknown meaning came out of its mouth, and a dark red sword covered with delicate magic patterns appeared in its right claw.
"Fire Kiss!" Gordon exclaimed, and the family heirloom sword that had been lost before him appeared in front of him again, and he once again squeezed the horse's belly, eager to fly in front of the enemy to regain the sword.
The Guardian of Fear stopped roaring, and a puff of green flames shot rapidly from the fire kiss, and Gordon in the high-speed charge could not avoid it, and in danger, he subconsciously used the flaming greatsword in his hand as a javelin to shoot forward.
Now Unas knew how he had lost his family heirloom sword.
The speed of the horse increased the rate of fire, and the speed of the "Flame Sword" was faster than the demon's spell, and the two flames collided violently in the air.
There was a loud "boom", the earth trembled, and a rain of red and green fire shot out in all directions.
The whole battlefield was also silent, and everyone's ears were groaning. Moan, Unas lagged behind, not affected by the explosion, but the tinnitus was a little uncomfortable.
But Gordon wasn't so lucky, he was less than fifty meters away from the Dreadguards, and two fireballs almost collided in front of him.
When the smoke of the explosion cleared, I saw Gordon lying motionless on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and "Black Wind" seemed to be injured, kneeling on the ground with his hooves bent.
Unas's heart tightened, and he wanted to catch up and check, but the big brown horse under his crotch was frightened, and he refused to take a step forward no matter how much he whipped, so he could only dismount and gallop over.
Running up to Gordon, a Holy Light Technique threw at him, and Gordon's situation didn't seem to be as bad as he imagined, but he was stunned by the explosion for a moment.
"I'm fine," Gordon sat up on his knees with his hands on the ground, pointing ahead, "it's the one who has the problem!" ”
At this time, the demon in front of it lost its previous ferocious posture, and it fell to the ground, a large sword pierced through its shoulder and bat wings, and its entire right shoulder was almost sliced open, and green blood splattered all over its body.
Gordon's great sword pierced the enemy's fireball, severely injuring the demon in an instant!
"Go kill it, don't let him escape." Gordon couldn't stand up for a moment, and seemed to have a bit of a concussion.
Unas was happy in his heart, there are not many opportunities for this kind of mending knife, and I will have the experience.
With a fierce glint in his eyes, the Dreadguard looked at the humans rushing up, it would not sit still, and roared, and several catastrophic dogs rushed towards it in the distance.
Unas was suddenly surrounded by four dark red cataclysmic dogs, and immediately fell into a bitter battle, several dogs jumped around flexibly, slipping without leaving his hands, and he swung all of them in a row.
He is very self-aware, first, he has never learned the hammer technique, and second, he has no combat experience, and he cannot compare with nobles like Gordon and Darien, who have received military training since childhood.
Fortunately, the Paladin profession does not require much combat skills, and it is the king to crush the enemy with high physique, high strength and strong armor.
Simple and rough, exchanging injuries for injuries, he only has this style of play.
"Kill!" Emboldened by a loud roar, Unas ignored several vicious dogs and charged at the Dreadguard, the demon who seemed to be casting a spell to heal his injuries.
Several Scourge dogs pounced, two biting at each of his calves and one biting at the handle of the silver hammer he was holding in front of his chest, the mutated creatures biting with an unusually loud bite, their fangs nearly piercing the armor of his leggings.
You can't escape now.
The Holy Energy flowed rapidly in his body, and the runes on the silver hammer emitted golden light, like playing golf, and the silver giant hammer swept towards his feet.
With a double shot, the two vicious dogs screamed in unison and were hammered three or four meters away, and the one biting the handle was also thrown out, and at the same time, two points of golden light flew over and merged into Unas's body.
He gasped for breath, the blow almost exhausting all his strength.
"Your courage is commendable, but your fighting skills are not as good as a farmer." Suddenly, Gordon's voice came from behind him.
This soul fades to such a time that he doesn't forget to mock his comrades-in-arms, no wonder his popularity is so bad!
