09 First entry into the castle

It didn't take long for the scouts' feedback to come back. As expected, the number of walking corpses and ghouls has been greatly reduced, and the gargoyles are still there for the few people who wander around the castle, but without the help of a large number of low-level ghosts, the gargoyles are unlikely to cause too much trouble for the advancement of the Black Tulip Brigade.

Curien, who received the report, immediately ordered the attack on the church and the prayer tower as planned. The members of the regiment, who had already been prepared, rushed over the wide outer courtyard meadow and rushed towards the church.

Sure enough, there were not too many ghosts to stop me along the way, and occasionally a few walking corpses and imps got up, all of which were cleaned up by the players, and they couldn't even slow down the players, and soon came to the outside of the castle.

The players held their breath and lay down at the base of the wall, so as not to disturb the gargoyle early, and they all waited quietly. Curien gestured to Eude and led the mongoose team towards the Chapel Tower.

The Chapel Tower is a tower attached to the church, with a gargoyle leader and several small gargoyles stationed on it, which serves as a warning to the ghosts in the church, and also acts as a conduit to connect with the vestibule where the gargoyle king is located. So they had to be dealt with silently.

Eude waited until the mongooses entered the tower and began the battle, then gestured to one of the shield warriors, who nodded, stepped forward, and stomped at the rotten wooden door, which boomed and sawdust flew open!

A few little goblins croaked and looked at the door, and they were trampled into meatloaf by the players who swarmed in. Each team follows their captain along the passage to clear the rooms, while Eude takes a few marksmen and Agni and Mint in the middle, and goes up to help kill monsters that are difficult to solve quickly.

For a while, Agni didn't have anything to do, so he and Mint took a leisurely look around the scenery.

When the castle of the Counts of Balzac was still popular a hundred years ago, the Knights of Balzac and a large number of auxiliaries were stationed, and naturally there was also the presence of the Order of the Holy Light, so the Count of Balzac specially set aside several halls and a large number of rooms in the castle as the seat of the church. Over the years, these rooms have decayed into a den of goblins. On the four-wall porch, you can still vaguely see the style of decoration a hundred years ago, and the angelic emblem of the Holy Light Order can still be seen occasionally.

Out of the porch, there was the chapel of the church, and in the stepped chapel, there was an unknown black substance scattered everywhere after the decay of wood, and the stained glass inlaid on the top of the head was almost clean, revealing the black hole in the ceiling. In the center of the podium hangs a huge angelic emblem, which seems to be relatively well preserved after a hundred years, but ironically, directly above the angelic emblem, there is a gargoyle lord, who is supposed to drive away evil and evil Angel emblem, but is used as a stepping stone by ghosts.

Agni and Mint looked at each other, each drawing their own weapons.

The gargoyle lord felt the breath of the living being, and suddenly woke up, and opened his slender eyes, and the entire pitch-black eyeballs glowed faintly. The Gargoyle Lord is much stronger than the one that Blaze killed when he first entered the game, and his muscular arms and legs make the already thin gargoyle look very strong. It spread its wings, almost three meters long, and the terrifying pair of bats had barbs growing at the joints, and the gargoyle lord shook the bat's wings and slowly fell to the ground.

Agni swung his sword first and attacked the gargoyle. The sword full of holy light slashes down, and even the Angel of Death has to avoid its edge, let alone the Gargoyle Lord.

The gargoyle lord flapped his huge bat wings and avoided the slash of the fire to the rear, but he ushered in Mint's triple shot in the air, and with three "poof" sounds, two arrows were directly bounced off by the bat wings, and the last arrow was shot through with great luck. The Gargoyle Lord opened his mouth in anger and screamed, flicking his long tail and attacking Mint from the air.

"Don't underestimate me!" The ignorant fire is a little unhappy, this guy ignores himself because he can fly? I saw the fire squat, then jumped high, and slashed the gargoyle lord's claws in an arc, and with a sound like the collision of steel and stones, the claws were directly cut in half.

The Gargoyle Lord finally let out a terrible howl, rolling under the wide ceiling of the church, and then slammed into the pulpit with a thud.

It finally knew that the two in front of it were not easy to mess with, and then began to call out, trying to summon its own army of undead, but it did not know that its minions had long been recruited as cannon fodder by the Abyss Knight Lord and were wiped out, and the remaining minions who were more loyal to it were also quickly strangled with the tacit cooperation of the Black Tulip Brigade.

As a result, when the ghouls and small monsters who responded to its call came out in a sparse manner, this result made the gargoyle stare straight, and he couldn't believe that there were only two or three kittens left in his army of the undead, and its fierce face suddenly froze, a little overwhelmed, and then reacted that something must be wrong, and when would it not run at this time? When the king knows that the castle has been invaded by humans, sooner or later it will be able to get the yard back!

The gargoyle lord turned around and ran away without ambition.

Of course, Agni would not let it go, and rushed in the direction of the Gargoyle Lord's escape with his sword.

Mint held his breath and drew his bowstring, and the Mithril Arrow, filled with holy light, aimed at the Gargoyle Lord's back. Generally speaking, it is difficult to have this kind of shooting position, the gargoyle lord has always been flying in the sky, extremely mobile, and never easily shows the weakness behind him, and the skin of other parts is comparable to steel, which also makes it difficult for gargoyles to be harmed. When an ordinary brigade encounters such monsters, it needs a large number of shield warriors and attackers to protect the marksmen, and constantly shoot with Holy Light Mithril arrows in order to win the jackpot. The Black Tulip Brigade, with its two illusory weapons, is relatively easy, and they can deliver a fatal blow in a place the gargoyle doesn't expect.

Of course, no matter what, Mint has never encountered such a thing as today, and the powerful gargoyle lord was actually frightened by the sword of fire and fled! This made Mint's fanatical hero fan's eyes burn and his face flushed.

But there was no time to think about it at this time, Mint saw the opportunity, and with an arrow over, it hit the wingroot of the flying gargoyle lord, and it fell to the ground with a scream.

"Well done! Miss Mint! Agni was watching the Gargoyle Lord fly at an unreachable height and hold his breath, but he didn't expect Mint to solve his problem with one arrow, and he was very happy like the Gargoyle Lord slashed over.

"Bell!" The poor gargoyle lord had never been hurt like this, and he actually had one of his wings cut off by the sword of fire, but the gargoyle lord did not give up, screaming and grabbing the claws of the fire, and the sword exchange made a golden sound, and he didn't help the other party. Agni was also a little surprised, but with his reflexes beyond ordinary people, he never had to fight monsters, he quickly gave up the sword, and took advantage of the Gargoyle Lord's failure to react, and used the Mithril Short Sword to cut off its other wing, making the Gargoyle Lord scream again and again.

"Now you can fly to show me again!" Agni is a bad breath.

What else can a gargoyle lord do if he loses his ability to fly? It's desperate too! I could only entangle with the fire for a while, and then I was chopped off by the fire. However, it has to be said that this gargoyle is much stronger than the one encountered in the ruins of the town.

After that, the cleanup process went much smoother, and several small gargoyles were killed by Mint one by one without using fire. After the Black Tulip Brigade players had cleaned the rooms, they blocked the door to the church and cut off access to the inner courtyard.

At this time, Curien also successfully cleared the Chapel Tower and returned with the players of the Mongoose team. Seeing that things went as smoothly as expected, Curien smiled and exchanged a few words with Eude before deciding to move forward.

There were even fewer ghosts in the bakery than in the church, and the Black Tulip Brigade marched through the prison tower.
