Chapter Twenty-Three: The Evil Ritual
Dressed in double heavy armor, carrying his bone-shattering battle axe and holding a vanguard shield, Xiao Yan led 20 capable rangers and 20 infantry to advance cautiously through the bushes by the river.
After Qiu Lin gave the order just now, Xiao Yan and Sonia actually received a B-level difficulty side quest "Find out the truth". Space rarely gives this kind of hinting side quest for combat, and it is possible to get a good equipment reward after completing the task, and thus advance the exploration progress of the script. Xiao Yan was also very cautious, and immediately led Sergeant Erwin and dozens of elite soldiers to grope over.
The headquarters of the Sonia and Lamor families remained on the frontal line, surrounded by a large army, and the two great lords of Tyulin and Condé were there, obviously safer.
What's amazing is that the presiding judge, Berrien Tebilias, actually asked to come together, which made Xiao Yan's heart even tighter.
Big brother, your attributes are about to flash my dog's eyes, doesn't it mean that the boss inside is too strong to come...... Can you go back......
Thinking about it, the difficulty of the task is clear there, and Xiao Yan can't refuse the commander of the Judgment Knight to help.
Under the pressure of the powerful and heavy infantry line, the already under-armed troll warriors concentrated on the front line to face the battle, so that the riverside defense line was almost open.
The Rangers, who were skilled in sneak attacks and archery, easily took out 3 or 5 wandering troll sentinels, and the group swooped down on Singleston.
The ground was littered with charred remains of houses and numerous human bones. It seems that the rumors of trolls feeding on people are not just anecdotes.
More than a thousand troll warriors were fighting fiercely with the army of Qiulin on the periphery, and Xiao Yan and his party of dozens of people were not big targets, and they were not noticed all the way to sneak.
The town of Singleston is not large, and under the cover of the buildings of the lakeside path, Xiao Yan can soon see the largest building in the town, the Baron's Palace.
"To be able to accommodate a large number of prisoners, only this baron's palace has enough area." Tiberias stepped up, "Knight Blanton, leave some of your men to answer, and the two of us will go in." ”
"Are you sure? I'm mortal, and I can't stand to be beaten. Xiao Yan felt that this was very strange, why did he want two people to go in and take risks, wouldn't it be good for a wave of soldiers to go in and rescue the hostages, and before he could shake his head, Judge Bailien had already rushed in.
"Erwin, you lead 15 rangers and 10 infantry to find a sturdy building to protect the way back, and cover us there when we come out." Xiao Yan didn't dare to underestimate this task, he couldn't do it in the house, so he only brought 5 rangers and 10 infantry, and the rest stayed to prepare for cover.
Tiberias had already rushed into the Baron's Mansion, and Xiao Yan was worried about whether the plot characters' disappearance from vision would lead to the failure of the mission, but it seemed that there was no problem.
The Baron's Mansion was tall and sturdy, and the above-ground part was very badly damaged, and Xiao Yan and the others, who quickly completed the search, found nothing, and even Tiberias disappeared.
"Check the floor and the sandwich wall, there must be a basement here." Xiao Yan commanded the soldiers to search carefully, and soon found a staircase leading to the underground behind a bookcase in a study.
Xiao Yan used the vanguard shield to protect himself, and the group walked down cautiously. After a few turns along the spiral staircase, Xiao Yan found that Judge Tiberias was hiding by the stone door in front of him and observing the situation.
"How's it going here?" Xiao Yan thought that something was wrong, and with the strength and character of the chief judge, he didn't rush in and kill the Quartet, which is very revealing.
Tybilas didn't say a word, and Xiao Yan was stunned when he glanced inside.
Hundreds of human women were lying naked, and behind or on them, strong troll warriors were going crazy. The human woman's eyes were all glazed, and some of them had a sickly flush.
Near the door was a pile of naked corpses, the dead women all skinny, as if all the flesh had been squeezed dry.
"Look at the innermost one, it should be the troll's great witch doctor." The presiding judge whispered.
In the innermost part of the basement, an old-looking troll sat cross-legged, his long fanged face showing no lust, and his body muscles were solid and strong, in stark contrast to his aging face; A beautiful and sexy woman sat on top of him, her long blond hair flying up and down.
"Oracle: The Great Witch Doctor of Ursure (Chief). Race: Troll/Demon. Attributes: Strength 25, Agility 20, Stamina 22, Perception 24, Intelligence 45, Spirit 39.
Special Skill 1: ?? ”
Special Skill 2: ??
……
The amount of information was too much, and Xiao Yan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Something is wrong! But for a while, it was unclear.
"Attack! Kill all these trolls. Xiao Yan shouted and pulled out the broken bones, the battle axe flashed with purple brilliance, as if he was about to drink blood. The soldiers drew their bows and swords and were about to rush forward to fight.
But the hundred or so trolls in front of him did not react, as if these humans had nothing to do with them.
"Help me!" Just as the soldiers were about to rush forward, a gaunt human woman crawled towards them, screaming miserably.
"Ahh My stomach hurts! Help me! It's coming. The woman didn't crawl out a few times before she lay on her back in pain, and a soldier rushed to help her, but didn't know where to start.
"Ho-ho! Ho! The woman's mouth was wide open, gasping like a fish on shore, clutching the soldier's calf. Followed by...... The woman's slightly swollen lower abdomen suddenly became round and big as a October pregnancy, and exploded in the next second.
Xiao Yan only felt that his scalp was numb, and he saw more than a dozen long, black and thick heads popping out of the woman's abdomen, and she howled bitterly.
The brave soldiers had never seen such a scene, and they were immediately shaken.
"The Light gives me strength!" The presiding judge, Berrien Tebilias, drew his sword and shouted, and a golden holy light appeared out of thin air in the gloomy basement, and all the human soldiers, including Xiao Yan, immediately felt full of strength and courage, as well as incomparable hatred for the evil in front of them.
"Kill all these heretics! Kill all these devilish believers! Tebilias, covered in brilliant golden light, led the charge, "In the name of the Holy Light!" ”
Angry humans slaughtered, and the trolls who had fallen into evil consciousness were unable to resist, and many were stabbed in two before they could even pull them out of the woman's body.
Xiao Yan and the presiding judge were killed in front of the great witch doctor in a blink of an eye, and the blood-soaked broken bones emitted bursts of joyful trills, driving Xiao Yan's heart to beat.
The blonde-haired sexy beauty had no scruples, her face rippling with sickly pleasure, and she turned a blind eye to Xiao Yan and the others, who were covered in blood.
Xiao Yan slashed at Usulei with an axe, and the heavy battle axe slashed through his flesh and skin, cutting off his shoulder blades and then unable to move an inch.
"Humans, you're late." A smile suddenly appeared on the face of the Great Witch Doctor, "The door to welcome the master has been opened!" And I will be the first oracle under the throne of the Lord! ”
In Xiao Yan's eyes, Wusulei's attributes changed rapidly, and its strength and physical strength, which was originally good at intelligence and spirit, suddenly rose rapidly, and its physical strength rose directly to 35 points, and its strength reached 50 in one fell swoop!
The presiding judge, Tebilias, stabbed Ursulé and the woman riding on him in the chest with a sword, and the scorching golden flames burst into flames, causing the Grand Witch Doctor to scream.
"Shred this damn Lightbringer!" With a cry from Usure, the naked human women in the basement screamed in rout, and black striped creatures burrowed out of their lower abdomen and grew rapidly.
"Kill them before they grow! Ursulé hand it over to me! The presiding judge drew his sword and slashed angrily.
