(108) The Great Escape
The importance of the quarry is obviously not as important as the headquarters of the Cult of the Damned, so there are only about thirty gargoyles stationed here, but these thirty or so gargoyles are enough to hunt and escape.
If the number of fleeing coolies is small, the gargoyles will fall from the sky and tear them to shreds, or kill them with their evil magic, and those hit by the gargoyles' ranged attacks will explode into a cloud of flesh and blood.
Gargoyles are the best searchers if there are more fleeing coolies, hovering over their target until they are surrounded by vicious ghouls, which are still a lot of gargoyles.
According to the standards of modern people, gargoyles are definitely a kind of unqualified air force, saying that the air force is lifting them, gargoyles are simply a group of beasts flying in the sky, the air force in the world where they are in fight each other, in fact, most of them rely on hand-to-hand combat, the main battlefield value is ground firepower, their combat range is limited to the visual distance, and the modern air force will not give them this opportunity.
Not to mention the air force of modern people, even the 'Yes of the black uncles of Africa!' RPGs!', none of them may be able to catch it.
However, the humans of the Imperial Age did not have ferocious RPGs, fashionable Stinger missiles, dense arrays that could drag at least a ton of ammunition in a minute, and anti-aircraft guns that could hit shells at an altitude of 10,000 meters, so they had to find another way......
Gargoyles hovered in the sky day and night, and as undead monsters, they did not get tired or slacken, and they were ordered to destroy all humans who dared to flee the quarry, so they did not notice the unusual reaction of a small pinch of humans.
A few coolies dressed in robes and carrying canes and scriptures sneakily walked to the gargoyles that had been transformed into gargoyles, where there were originally several Cursed Cult warriors who were in charge of guarding the gargoyles who had withdrawn from the front line, but now they were all cold corpses, several spies were picking up equipment from them, and the new monks were beginning to transform into gargoyles.
The flying gargoyles in the sky saw all this, but they didn't seem to react, because they were ordered to attack humans who left the quarry, and as long as the humans did not leave the quarry, they would not attack until a new order was given.
The spies lurking here are all highly skilled, and with the equipment provided by the helpers, they quietly eliminate the guards in the eight towers that monitor the settlement, and then carry a wooden crate onto the tower platform.
The chest that the lead agent pried open was neatly lined with four green glowing skulls, which were the weapons provided by the co-operatives to fight the gargoyles, and when equipped, these skulls magically rotated around your right hand.
The gargoyles' flight paths change every other day, but this rule has been abandoned for a long time, because the Cursed Cult wizards who guard the area feel that these humans simply don't have the courage to run away and resist, so they even forgot the alarm when a large number of skulls with a glowing green glow shot out of the tower, knocking the unsuspecting gargoyles from the sky.
Corrosive Orbs, priced at 375 units of gold each, produced by the ruins of the ancient tomb, recommended by the undead natural disaster, you deserve it!
The little guy rubbed his eyes in confusion, and then he saw a lot of people outside the tunnel, and they were rushing out like crazy, because they were told that the monsters in the air had been destroyed.
The monsters flying in the sky were wiped out, which meant that their whereabouts would not be caught by the army of the undead, and it also meant that now they could escape this terrible hell, so the coolies immediately fell into madness, and they began to rush out desperately.
The exits of each tunnel were guarded by a team of Cult of the Cursed warriors, but the dozens of them could not stop the thousands of red-eyed coolies, and these coolies were mixed with Frankish agents, so they either escaped or were trampled to death.
In order to prevent such a large-scale riot, the Cult of the Damned has stationed an archlich in the quarry, a lich second only to the Great Elder, who possesses a magic called 'Withering of Death', which can turn thousands of human soldiers into decaying corpses, and this archlich also has the authority to control all the undead forces around the quarry, and only it can command large forces.
Unfortunately, this powerful rank 8 lich no longer has the means to give orders to the army of undead guarding the quarry to suppress the slaves.
He didn't expect that a human would dare to sneak into the great mausoleum where he was stationed, and he didn't expect that he would be screwed off by a human child, and now it can only wait for resurrection in the dark altar, and the army of the undead will be paralyzed for a long time.
Yoush was expressionless and practiced juggling the Great Lich's head, while Yin Wensu was taking over the Scourge building authority in the quarry, and this Great Mausoleum was the highest authority building in the area, and it actually recognized Yin Wensu's authority shortly after the Great Lich's death.
Several psychic towers around the quarry have been cut off from mana, warehouses in this area have been cut off from functional buildings, and the Dark Altar has been forced to shut down, so that the lich can only be resurrected by someone else who can take over the rights here.
"In this way, the reaction time of the quarry undead troops will be twice as long as the original reaction time, how is your situation?"
"The magic of that skeleton frame is a bit difficult, my hands and feet are still a little numb now, and the warm-up effect of the exercise just now is not very good."
As he spoke, Yosh kicked the upside-down skull out of the hall, and his otherwise inorganic voice took on a slight trill.
"But even if you don't have your hands and feet, it's still okay to deal with five or six monsters, and those spies will start acting soon, right?"
Yin Wensu nodded with satisfaction after listening to Youshi's words, everything was planned, he walked around the Great Lich's living room three times, and it didn't take long to find a large treasure chest behind the closet, as if he knew it was here in the first place.
"At first I thought you were running a train with your mouth full, but now I kind of believe what you said, you know the box exists."
Yin Wensu didn't go to pick up Youshi's words, he just smiled, and then opened the treasure chest and handed the contents to Youshi's hand, a clawblade that looked very sharp, a pair of red boots, a red cloak and a strange dagger with purple light.
Youshi put on this strange equipment at the signal of Yin Wensu, and after putting on the boots that obviously didn't fit, they turned into a size suitable for Youshi, and the same was true for the cloak, the little boy waved his dagger and claw blade, and looked at his companion puzzled.
"Look at how good I am! The upper floors of the Undead Scourge all have storage boxes, which contain six treasures of their own world, look at how good my luck is as a leader! Four of the six pieces of equipment that come out are something you can use...... Ahem! That's all for the joke, you go back to Dongdong right now, protect her from the chaotic crowd, and try the effects of the treasure along the way. ”
Yoush nodded and turned to leave, he didn't ask the slightest question, because he was very confident in Yin Wensu's arrangement.
Yin Wensu looked at the dim sky, and then turned his attention to the two remaining treasures in the treasure chest, a strange helmet that looked like Captain America's mask and an emerald-colored skull carving that constantly emitted green flames, but Yin Wensu was very disappointed.
"What I'm looking for is a staff, only that staff can open the escape exit, it should be right here!"
The lich had cleverly hidden the chest behind the closet, but he had forgotten that he didn't need a closet as a lich...... Wait a minute! If that's the case, there should be something in the house that doesn't make sense to the undead! I found it! ”
Yin Wensu excitedly came to the bed in the center of the lich's room, and then found a long staff with an orange glow at the top from under the bed, this treasure called the 'Staff of Refuge' was what he was looking for, used to take people to escape.
"Well~ that's it! The first step, decapitation action! Step 2: Win time! Step 3: Get the key! Next ......"
Yin Wensu and Youshi had no intention of following the secret agents' plan from the beginning, and they secretly left the underground river where they lived in the cave shortly after Dong Dong fell asleep, and then went up the river to the core of the quarry.
The lich stationed here is too good at putting on a show, and he built his large mausoleum on top of an abandoned castle, the source of which is actually the moat of the castle, and no one would have thought that there would be two teenage imps who would sneak in by this loophole.
The Great Lich did not allow anyone to enter the Great Mausoleum, including the wizards and undead of the Cult, and they were all concentrated in the castle below the Mausoleum, which led to the fact that when the Great Lich was killed, none of his walking corpses were found.
All of this was done before the agents began to attack, and the fate of everyone was directed in a different direction.
Frank's spies were just striking down the gargoyles in the sky and then encouraging the long-oppressed coolies to rush out.
Yin Wensu told several people in advance when he went to work where they should run and from what direction they would not be blocked.
The enemy stationed in the quarry is not the Wood Man, and even if the army of the undead under the chief engineer cannot be mobilized, they also have thousands of undead scourge troops under the command of ten archoverseers, who occupy the fortifications and will not let the rioters go easily.
In this chaotic environment, as long as someone knows where to go, then he will be followed by many blind followers.
The coolies of the ten tunnels formed several huge crowds, and they ran around like caged beasts, but the undead scourge that had restored order would not let them out easily, and the spies who fanned the flames at the beginning would not help them break through the pass, and these guys contracted all their strength and prepared to leave this hellish place through the magical scroll.
"Hmm...... That's it. You guys don't care if they live or die, I'll take care of it, right? Step 4: Summon a rain of fire! ”
Yin Wensu looked mockingly in the direction of the secret agent's stronghold, then looked at the city wall and arrow tower in front of him, and took out the jade-colored carving from his arms.
The people who were in a mess because of the siege suddenly found a meteorite tumbling green flames falling from the sky and smashing on the northern pass, a huge roar and the trembling of the earth, they could hear and feel it from such a distance.
Under such an impact, a gap is likely to be opened in that position, and the desire to survive makes people start to move in that direction.
The coolies who were just north felt the power of the meteorite even more deeply, not only destroying the walls and towers, but also turning into a rock giant covered in green fire after landing.
The giant had scattered the undead scourge that had been gathered with great difficulty, the burly Abomination was as weak as a dwarf in front of it, the hideous and terrifying ghoul was the size of a cat or a dog in front of it, and the cultists of the Cult of the Damned who rushed forward would roll on the ground with a wail as soon as they were stained with green flames, and then quickly turned into a charred corpse.
Its formidable figure was as powerful as a god, and many coolies who wanted to flee for their lives were hesitant, but when they found out that the Ignitone would actively avoid the fleeing coolies, they rushed out with a shout of joy, believing that it was a benevolent god of war!
"Step 5, Attack of the Giants! The sixth step is to liberate the masses...... Why hasn't Yosh come yet? He's long overdue here with Knock Knock! ”
The Golemstone is a consumable artifact that summons a powerful Golem warrior, but can only be used once.
Yin Wensu borrowed the power of hellfire to drag the troops of the undead natural disaster, so that they had no chance to attack the fleeing coolies, but under the attack of the sea of people, the powerful flame giant could not hold out for too long, and this passage was likely to be cut off.
At this moment, a large blue circular pattern suddenly appeared in the middle of the tunnel settlement, it also appeared extremely bright during the day, and some of the coolies who had planned to flee to the north thought that which blue light was also a way to escape, so they shifted their target.
Some of the troops of the Undead Scourge knew this pattern, it was a teleportation scroll, which could move twelve units away at a time, and although I didn't know what the humans wanted to take with them, it was definitely something very important.
More than half of the Grand Overseers gave up defending the pass, and they began to attack in the direction of the teleportation array with their troops, trying to stop the humans.
"That bunch of selfish guys did a good deed unintentionally, and the pressure of Hellfire would be much less...... Yosh, why haven't you come yet? ”
Yin Wensu clenched his staff a little impatiently, counting the time in his heart second by second, and he had a very bad premonition.
When he hurried back to the tunnel, he found that there was no one left in the tunnel except for those who couldn't run, and there were many unlucky ghosts on the ground who were trampled on and dying, and he ...... Didn't find Knock Knock.
Yoush felt that Dongdong might have been caught in the crowd and ran away, so he had to chase the crowd to find Dongdong, and no longer hiding his strength, he eliminated seven or eight undead natural scourge interception teams along the way, but he ended up becoming the team leader.
Yush couldn't drive the group of coolies away from him, so he had to lead them to the meeting point, and when he got to the meeting point, Yush turned back and continued to look for Dongdong, but he still couldn't find her, and rescued another hundred and eighty people.
At the gap, Yin Wensu couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face when he saw more and more fugitives gathering outside.
"This quarry and the headquarters of the Cult of the Cursed God are not located in the original world, there is a powerful monster who accidentally opened a large space when fighting with the undead natural disaster, and as a result, it caused permanent damage to a large space, most of the undead were directly torn apart, but some of them were very magical fragments of space, and the undead who found this treasure land regarded this small space as their base."
"This place is actually very small, you just stand still after running to the end, you can't escape with your legs alone, and the undead scourge is also able to come and go freely in these fragmented spaces through a staff with magical powers."
Yin Wensu whispered to himself, even if he said it to others, no one would go in detail, these people would only run around in horror.
"The goldfish in the tank are smarter than you, at least they won't hit the glass ......"
Just as Yin Wensu was anxiously complaining, a blue teleportation circle appeared in the quarry, and the location of this circle was at the top of the core function building, which meant that the reinforcements of the natural disaster had probably discovered the anomaly here.
They will take over the rights usurped by Yin Wensu, reactivate the defenses of the Psychic Tower, and even awaken the army of the undead stationed here.
"Damn...... We can't wait any longer. How much can you walk! ”
When he said this, Yin Wensu was relieved from his anxiety, he walked to the crowd on the outskirts of the pass, exhaled softly, and then he raised the snatched staff and stuck it on the ground with force, and those who were standing still all rushed out.
The Staff of Refuge was originally a space staff for large forces to escape, but when the Undead Scourge discovered that it could temporarily repair the damaged space, it became a key to symbolize identity, and it was also the confidence of the Cult of the Cursed God to avoid the siege of the human nations.
The people who had just escaped from the small enclosed space had been dizzy for a while, a side effect of the Staff of Refuge, but no one was concerned with it, as they were all in tears, eager to run as far as possible.
"Step 7, ...... for Freedom"
Yin Wensu didn't plan to leave like this, because Youshi didn't come back, and Dongdong didn't come back, he looked at the fugitives huddled together and whispered.
"That's your freedom...... Not mine. ”
"Step eight, go back to hell."
Yin Wensu did not hesitate to give up the opportunity to leave, while Youshi continued to look for Dongdong's traces.
The Spiral Clan boy actually subconsciously ignored a place, that is, the dark river, he felt that Dong Dong should not go to that kind of place alone, but when Dong Dong woke up and found that the two were no longer by his side, his first reaction was to go to the dark river to find someone.
Knock knew where the place was, but she had never been there herself, which made Yosh have a mindset.
The little one leaned against the cold, damp stone wall, huddled in his arms with the puppet in his arms.
"Why did you just run? Is there a bad guy coming? But aren't there any bad guys? ”
"Did Big Brother Yin Wensu and Youshi also run away like this?"
"No...... Well! No, it won't! ”
"I'm sleepy...... Woo~"
