Chapter 17: Boots of Death
In the white moonlight, Ringer and Under Armour led the skeleton soldiers to a small cavern that was so ordinary that Ringer would have ignored it if it weren't for Under Armour leading the way.
Under Armour didn't know where to get a bunch of torches for the little monsters and some skeleton soldiers to hold. The firelight illuminates the walls of the cave, which are very smooth and have traces of artificiality, but are not noticeable.
The further you go inside, the cavern gradually becomes more and more open, the traces of man-made become obvious, and in the light of the torches, you come to a place in a square, on which a black body is paved.
Under Armour crouched down and touched the black body with her hand, "These are gargoyle remains, it looks like they've been wiped out." ”
"These things must be one of the most hated things in our graveyards! You can't summon spirits if you kill them, and if you don't have to, you should stay away from them," Ringer crouched down and looked at the gargoyle carefully.
Gargoyles are a class of troops created by tower alchemists, primarily for defense, and are found in most mage towers. As long as they have enough mana, they can fight like skeletons.
The least favorite enemies of the heroes of the cemetery are these gargoyles, because the gargoyles are not physical creatures, and if the gargoyles are killed, the gargoyles will turn into a pile of stones, and they will not be able to summon spirits, for most of the heroes of the cemetery clan, the skeleton soldiers are their main force, and when they encounter a group of gargoyles, they lose the dead soldiers, and if they win the dead soldiers, they will lose no matter what, so it is better not to fight.
"Pick up these stones, these are all money," said Under Armour, gargoyles are made of obsidian, obsidian is not cheap, after all, it is a strategic item (the tower's demand for obsidian), and the eyes on their bodies are gems, although they are only small pieces, and they add up to a lot.
Ringer asked the skeleton soldiers to put away the gargoyle remains on the ground, and there were not many gargoyle wreckage in the square, about thirty or so, and there were about four or five thousand catties when collected.
At the end of the square was a small platform that looked like an altar, and on top of it was the remains of a large gargoyle, four times the size of a normal gargoyle. This is supposed to be the gargoyle leader, whose duty is to protect what is on this altar, and it fails.
Under Armour walked up to the altar, where there was a pillar tray in the center of the altar, and the contents had already been taken. When he got to the edge of the tray, Under Armour's expression became a little excited, and he could feel that there was something under the altar that cared about calling him, no, to be precise, about the two treasures in the space that called him heroes. The Cloak of the Immortal King is about to appear in the world, and his efforts for half of his life are about to come to fruition.
"Under Armour, are you sure the Grim Reaper Boots are here?" Ringer looked around, and there was no place to hide in the light of the fire.
"Yes, General, the Boots of Death are here, it cares about calling its partner, please stay away, I'm afraid there may be some accidents later." Under Armour suppressed the longing in his heart, he was afraid that something would happen later, and he didn't want his monarch to be in danger.
"Well, then I'll stay away" Ringer got off the altar directly, he was really afraid, in the assistant's records, some strange things would happen when some treasures were combined into a suit, some were dangerous, some were not dangerous, and he didn't want to go up his life tower. "You take these fifty skeleton soldiers with you, just in case."
Ringer sent fifty skeleton soldiers to the altar, not because he was stingy, but because there were no more soldiers on it.
"Your monarch Ringer gives you command of fifty skeletons"
The expectations of the general must not be disappointed. Under Armour took out the "Vampire Cloak" and "Amulet of the Dead" and placed them on the tray of the altar.
These two treasures glowed on the tray with a breathtaking light, "click" and "click" small stones, the stone wall in the cave fell down, hundreds of red dots on the cave wall, Ringer picked up a torch and threw it up. Under the light of the torches, a black body was revealed on the stone wall, and the red dots were two beautiful preservation stones, these things were gargoyles, and hundreds of gargoyles were reviving.
"You disgusting skeletons are here after all, but if you want to get your hands on the Grim Reaper Boots, it's up to you to defeat my guards."
A voice came from nowhere, and the resuscitated gargoyles were stretching their bodies that hadn't moved in years. Ringer was curious about where the voice came from and whether the owner of the voice was still alive.
"General, these are high-level gargoyles, they can fly in the air for a long time, our skeleton soldiers can't do too much damage to them, let's withdraw first!" Under Armour had already run back at this time, and when he saw Ringer's pensive look, he hurriedly said to Ringer.
"If we don't kill them all, we won't be able to get out, look over there." Ringer pointed to the entrance of the cave, where more than a dozen high-ranking gargoyles landed on the ground to guard the entrance to prevent anyone from leaving.
"Gargoyle: Second Rank Sixth Race: Tower
Attack: 6 Damage: 2~3
Defense: 6 Speed: 6
Health: 16......."
"High defense and low offense, don't worry too much." Ringer took a look at the attributes of the gargoyle, and finally knew why the mage tower likes to use this creature as a defensive force, "Under Armour, give you another fifty skeleton soldiers, and you cooperate with the skeleton soldiers outside to solve the gargoyles in the passage." I'm going to kill all these gargoyles today."
"Your monarch Ringer gives you command of fifty skeletons"
Under Armour's skeleton soldiers had fifty more, and Under Armour could hear the firmness in Ringer's voice, since Ringer wanted to fight resolutely, then fight.
A battle begins in the cave, the gargoyles fly in the sky, swooping down from time to time, grabbing the bones of the skeleton with their claws, flying upwards with the skeleton soldiers, and then releasing their claws to make the skeleton soldiers fall from the air, at first the skeletons don't know how to fight the gargoyles, but soon after this fight, as long as the gargoyles grab the skeleton soldiers, the skeleton soldiers will grab the gargoyles' grasps to prevent the gargoyles from dropping themselves.
The solution to such a skeleton gargoyle is to glide on the ground, so that the skeleton soldier can have an intimate contact with the stone ground. But as soon as the gargoyle landed on the ground, three or four skeletons pounced on it, grabbed its wings, and attacked the gargoyle's eyes, which were their vital points.
At the entrance of the cave, the dozen or so gargoyles were surrounded and beaten by a group of skeleton soldiers, and Under Armour instructed the skeleton soldiers to put the gargoyles down and attack again, specifically attacking the gargoyles' vital points.
Ringer pulled out his terrifying blade, and a gargoylee attacked him from the air, he turned around slightly, and the blade in his hand slashed at the gargoyle's wings, and the stone lost a wing, and slid on the ground, and Ringer wanted to go up to make up for it, but then another gargoyles attacked him, and Ringer had no time to dodge, so he could only carry it. In the chaotic battlefield, three skeleton soldiers stood behind Ringer and blocked this sneak attack for Ringer....
Under Armour commanded the skeleton soldiers to attack the gargoyle while watching and observing Ringer, and arranged for multiple skeleton soldiers to be around Ringer, and he arranged the three skeleton soldiers just now.
The battle continues
I don't know how much time has passed, but after losing more than 200 skeleton soldiers, Ringer's side finally won the victory.
"Congratulations on completing the quest, you have obtained a gem mine, which will appear on the edge of your city."
The assistant's prompt sounded in his head, and Ringer, who was so tired that he sat directly on the ground, smiled on his face.
Before the battle began, Ringer had planned to open the passage directly and leave here, but the assistant suddenly sent a mission.
"Trigger Task: Virus
Clear, kill all of these gargoyles, and get a random rare resource mine (unfinished)"
