Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Next Route of Castlevania
Looking at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer in the distance, the priest rode up with joy and shouted at the same time:
"Fenrir Guys! I'm the Guardian of the Order of Light! There are demons here! โ
"I know." Locke groaned lightly, drew his sword at his waist, and at the same time lowered his body to make a charging stance, and the skeleton knights around him also all flattened their sharp knight spears and made a sprinting stance.
Looking at the cavalry team in front of him that was crushed in a triangular assault formation, the priest was suddenly startled, and quickly straightened up and shook his arms and shouted loudly: "I am the guard priest!" I'm not an enemy! โ
It may be so windy that the other party can't hear it, or it may be .......
The priest turned his head to look at the orc not far away, and suddenly had the expression of a dog.
I almost forgot that the Fenrir Empire was always at war with the orcs.
"These short-sighted mortals!!" The bloodless priest trembled all over, and his eyes were about to burst into flames as he looked at the approaching cavalry - mortals only knew about fighting, but they were completely oblivious to the fact that there were demons!
At the moment when Locke's cavalry ran past, there was a flash of light where the priest was, and suddenly disappeared, and the rushing cavalry rumbled over the grass where he had been standing before.
The young priest was teleported away, and if that kid was still there, it was conservatively estimated that he would not be dead or disabled.
One of the reasons why he didn't attack the cavalry was that humans were completely immune to that kind of "searchlight" type of light magic, and if they wanted to fight humans, they could only use melee combat to be effective, but when it came to melee combat, it was naturally also a human strength.
"Ran away?" After Locke rushed forward a few steps in the air, he stopped riding his horse, lifted the knight's blindfold, looked left and right, and sneered: "That's right, the light department can't take the life system at all." โ
The skeleton knights wore the emblem of the Human Empire, and the priests could not do anything to the humans, which is why Locke charged.
At this time, the blood magicians who had flown away before floated next to him, bowed, and said to Locke:
"We have a little haemophilic bacteria lurking in him and we haven't let him find it, and when the real lesions start, we will kill him immediately."
"Hehe, good job." Locke nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the orcs scattered in the distance, immediately pulled the blindfold, and said, "The hunt is not over yet!" Kill me! โ
"Yes! I am the king. โ
From this unexpected episode, Locke has gained quite a bit, and experiments have shown that after his ghoul army rises to the top, he can directly face the light system!
The only trouble is the searchlight-like light, and if memory serves, the Light Department also has a great skill that illuminates all ground units in all directions, and can only be broken by killing the caster who floats into the air, which the demons may not be able to do.
Thinking of this, Locke raised his head and said to the auxiliary elves: "Nina, inform all the noble ghosts in the screaming house to immediately go to Seth City to find the evil spirits of excellent quality, the sooner the better!" โ
The evil spirit is the energy core of the goddess of revenge, and the Nemesis plan, which has been put aside due to various trivial matters, must be put on the agenda, although this is the first time to fight with the light system, but from this battle, Locke knows that the demon system has considerable shortcomings.
And the Nemesis happens to be the key to making up for this shortcomingโas human beings, they can quickly fly close with the Holy Light, and directly take the enemy's key spellcaster in the sky above the hosts without being harmed by the Holy Light in the slightest.
"Let's hope everything goes well." Looking at the aristocratic ghosts that were flying away, Locke, who was riding on horseback, secretly looked forward to it.
The hunt continued for a few days before it stopped, as the orc commanders noticed that the tribes scattered elsewhere were dwindling at an alarming rate, and felt that someone was hunting them somehow, and for a moment they were frightened, they fled with all of them.
In this hunt, Locke obtained more than 6,000 corpses of orcs, but the blood that was drawn out, the vampires all said that they would not drink it if they were killed, and in the end they could only pour it to the ghouls who were waiting to be fed.
Incidentally, the number of vampires has increased to 14, while the number of ghouls is also 317.
Also, the fat man is back.
Not only did he get a lot of building materials, but he also brought Locke an update on the latest developments in Seth City.
The Knights of Light branch stationed in Seth City has been investigating the demon.
There are more and more clues that an organization called the Alliance has been secretly conducting various experiments on demons, including human experiments and summoning rituals.
It's just that every time the Guardian Priest of Shan Di brought someone to the scene, the other party fled in advance as if he knew, and there was relevant evidence that the entire Fenrir Empire's top brass was inextricably linked to this evil organization.
Just a few days ago, the Knights of Light received news that a group of high-ranking personnel of the Alliance of Law had gone to the northern steppe to conduct some kind of evil art research, so the meritorious Guardian of the Shirt was very happy, and vowed to correct those villains in the name of God!
Immediately took 100 light paladins and began to march in the direction of the steppe, although some orcs were faintly seen along the way, but these are the family affairs of the Fenrir Empire, and have nothing to do with the Order of Light, their mission is only to deal with demons, and the rise or fall of the human empire here does not matter to them as noble clergy - this is one of the reasons why the top brass of the Fenrir Empire hates these self-righteous fanatical believers.
Without Locke's knowledge, there are actually many undercurrents hidden in the whole world, such as the forces of light, the forces of darkness, and the human forces of the Fenrir Empire that wander between the two factions of light and darkness.
And it wasn't until the fat man came back that Locke understood.
Somewhere in the vast savannah, the majestic Castlevania sits there.
Locke, who had collected his troops and returned home, was in the living room of the superstructure area, lying on a rocking chair and quietly listening to the news brought by the fat man.
In addition to the aforementioned relationship between the light and darkness and the power of the Fenrir Empire, he also talked about the organization of the French Alliance, which is the key organization that will trigger the plot of the Undead Demon Data Chapter.
But Locke didn't say anything, everything went naturally, and what should come will always come.
"By the way, my lord, there is one thing to say." The fat man said with a solemn face: "When the guard priest named Shan Di I just mentioned was tracking down the French Alliance Association with his manpower, it seemed that he had encountered an accident, not only was the Knights of Light sent out completely wiped out, but he himself used all his life force to escape, and when the people above found him, his whole body was infected with severe plague and some kind of toxin that could continue to devour his life force. โ
"And how is he now?" Locke asked casually.
The fat man sitting on the sofa crossed his hands, like a senior reasoner, frowned and said: "He has been in a coma, but there are rumors that unless the archbishop comes in person, he may not have many days to live, I don't know what kind of force can beat this powerful clergyman like a dead dog, I think, this force is by no means simple!" โ
"Whatever." Locke waved his hand and asked, "After all this, it's time to get to the point, right?" What about those second-order rune equipment you brought with you, what do you think of humans? โ
Since the castle was upgraded, all the second-order equipment in the fat man's hands has become obsolete, after all, his own ghouls have now changed into mid-third-order armor.
But it's not the same for humans. (To be continued)
