Chapter 80: Winter VIII.
For the commoners at the bottom of society, no matter which world aristocracy or power, when necessary, they obviously will not choose mercy.
The above phenomenon is obviously predestined when classes are formed along with the evolution of civilization.
Looking up at the stone bridge on the surface of the moat in front of him, which was about twenty meters long, the stone city wall that stood vertically was fifteen or sixteen meters high, although he knew that he could use the gap between the stone bricks on the surface of the city wall to take advantage of the gap between the stone bricks on the surface of the city wall, and then jumped up to the castle tower in one fell swoop, and killed the noble private soldiers who were using their longbows and arrows against them.
This opens the gates of the castle and allows the civilians to take refuge inside the castle, which is protected by a sturdy stone wall.
However, it was for a similar situation before, and Sean, who offended a nobleman with real power in the north and had to bring his sister and other members of the adventure party to Baal City, finally gritted his teeth angrily, turned to the others behind him and said: "Let's go, these nobles who have long lost the glory of their ancestors and are greedy for life and fear of death will not risk the ghouls who are following us to break into the castle and let us enter the castle at this time." ”
With Sean's shouting, recognizing the current situation, the people gathered in front of the stone bridge slowly left.
And slowly loosened the bowstring in his hand, obviously did not want to aim the arrow at the same kind of aristocratic private soldiers at this time, and at this time, they were all relieved.
But at this time, they obviously wouldn't have thought that it was precisely because of the order of the new Count Srdan who had just inherited his lordship's title that they couldn't wait for the reinforcements brought from Baal City by the herald who had just been sent out without Sean and others, who had strong combat power.
Of course, this is a later story, so we will not mention it for the time being.
At this time, with the flow of people, they wanted to try their luck in the wealthy merchant residential area concentrated in the south of the town and had relatively solid residences, and Sean and the others who were on the street at the fork of the road one day, but in the next moment, they all heard a burst of women's dying screams from the direction of the street on the left, and squeezed out the flow of people, and the front was already empty, and the street was in a dark place, and the whole body was on alert.
"Sophia, do you see the tree on the side of the road on the left, about 22 meters ahead?"
Under Sean's outstretched hand, growing up in the Starlight Adventure Group since childhood, it was natural to understand that at this time, his brother let himself pay attention to the meaning of the tree that could only be seen by the moonlight in the sky under the dim sky, and could probably be vaguely seen, so after chanting two magic syllables in a low voice, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the tree.
As the light elements between heaven and earth converged under Sophia's command, the branches and leaves in front of him had already fallen, and only the bare trunk and branches of the ordinary banyan tree were left on the trunk, which emitted a faint golden light.
In less than two seconds, the gradually brighter spell light illuminated the street in front of Sean and the others, which was originally unusually dim because the moonlight was not bright enough tonight.
[Illumination]: Makes an object glow like a torch, illuminating an area within 20 meters in diameter.
At the same time, with the light emitted by the Zero Flower Trick Light Technique, in the darkness in the distance, there was the sound of "click" footsteps of ghouls whose bodies were often corroded clean, leaving only skeletons and more or less torn clothes on their bodies under the passage of time!
After glancing at the people behind him and the others, who didn't need to say anything more, but just quickened their pace, Sean, who understood that he and the others had to buy them some time, took off the heavy tower shield from behind, held the shield in one hand and the sword in the other, slowly lowered his body, and shouted to the others who had been watching ahead: "We must resist this street for half a quarter of an hour, buy them enough time to evacuate, do you understand?" ”
And Qian Yongxing, who was supposed to say something about this, found that he was always instilled with the idea of defending the country and the people, and he couldn't help but be infected by Sean at this time The five special soldiers, and the other three adventurers of the Starlight Adventure Group were also in a shocking situation, and after opening his mouth, he couldn't help but say nothing, and he reluctantly pulled out his usual straight-edged long knife at his waist.
In the middle of the sound, with the ghouls charging towards them in the darkness in the distance, their whole body skeletons stepped into the range of Sophia's [Light Technique] lighting in the sound of "click", and felt that the fire element between the surrounding heaven and earth once again appeared with the chanting of the former.
Don't want to waste Sophia's mana reserves, which were originally seriously consumed and impossible to recover in a short period of time, when he and others in charge of melee combat could still handle it, Sean, who opened his mouth and reminded his sister: "Sophia, pay attention to controlling your mana reserves." After that, with the steel tower shield in his hand, he led the melee personnel and fiercely charged at the rapidly approaching ghouls.
"Bang-click~"
Directly using the heavy tower shield in his hand, under the brutal charge, the three ghouls were smashed into broken bones in the sky, and under the interaction of force, his right foot stepped forward, stabilizing his somewhat unstable body in the impact process.
Sean, who had already rushed into the ghouls, suddenly swung the heavy tower shield on his left hand to his left side, and at the same time he struck a powerful shield blow at the two ghouls, the one-handed broadsword on his right hand that had been unsheathed was also slashed out towards the neck of a ghoul on the right!
Under the centrifugal force brought by his above-mentioned deliberate offensive actions, Sean's majestic body spun rapidly among the ghouls in the next moment.
The heavy tower shield and one-handed broadsword in both hands seemed to have turned into the most powerful killing machine at this time, and in the group of ghouls, they spun wildly, instantly stirring up broken bones in the sky on this street!
On the side, Qian Yongxing, who brandished the straight-edged long knife in his hand and cut off the head of the sixth ghoul, in the gap between his heads, he happened to see the above scene, looking at the figure at this time has been completely blurred in his field of vision, as if turning into a small tornado-like Sean, one person is blocking the shocking scene of the charging path of one-third of the ghouls on this street, and he can't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Damn!" ”
Knowing that even if his future body can withstand the dizziness caused by this long-term high-speed rotation, he will not have the courage to take such a risk, and completely hand over his sword to the ghouls before he dies, and hand it over to his own armor Qian Yongxing, who can't help but feel a deep admiration for these aborigines who are not afraid of bloodshed during the battle, who seem to be much more fanatical than the adventers, and can exert their strength to the extreme.
And as time passed, the physical energy was drastically consumed in this fierce battle without a trace of rest.
For the people who evacuated in advance, Sean and the others, who had been fighting for seven or eight minutes, finally chose to evacuate temporarily when they began to gradually be attracted by the movement here and the increasing number of ghouls.
However, before they could fight and retreat for a few minutes, a monster with a large number of ghouls, five or six meters tall, arms much wider than the shoulders of adult men, and a strong rancid smell all around them, blocked the way!
"Damn it! Since it's a corpse demon?! ”
It was recognized at a glance, this is a kind of ogre corpse that often dies, under the invasion of the will of the long winter, resurrected, and Sean, a powerful monster that can only appear in the cold winter, is the other people who were stunned when they saw the huge size of the corpse demon behind him, and shouted: "Qian Yongxing, take your people and block the ghouls who are chasing us behind you." Jack, stay behind to protect Sophia, Barry, Mark, you two come with me, contain this monster, and dodge as much as you can. You two must not take the mace in the hands of this corpse demon to attack. Sophia, Scorching Ray, Target Corpse Boss's Head! ”
I have to say that in the case of a sudden encounter with a corpse demon, Sean, who commanded like this, basically did not make any mistakes.
However, at this time, Sean and the others didn't know that the corpse demon they were encountering now was only stronger than an ordinary corpse demon, but he had a trace of legendary giant blood when he was alive!
