Chapter 406. Ways to deal with evil
The strange soul fire is burning, and the dark blue appearance seems to penetrate people's hearts. These were bloody corpses, which should have been lying on the ground and dying miserably, but now they slowly got up and stood in the square of the Doge's Castle.
Levi's eyes wrinkled slightly, looking at the limp formation one by one, even if they were mutilated, and even as they walked, the muscles and internal organs on their bodies were blackening. With a strong rancid smell, these elite guards of the inner city, who had already died, regrouped like this.
Wilmot couldn't help gritting his teeth, but the hand that had been raised was slowly lowered, and he turned his head to look at Levi next to him, his face was solemn, and he said, "Your Majesty, we seem to have won the lottery." ”
"Yes." Levi nodded: "This is really surprising. But there was not the slightest fear on his face, and the artillerymen and privates behind him, including the Barbary pirates and the native archers, looked just as normal, as if they were facing these corpses that had risen again, no different from ordinary enemies.
They had seen this kind of horror in the undead plane for a long time, and even more terrifying skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, and even skeleton mages and skeleton knights were all available. Now, it's just some dead corpses getting back on their feet, and it's not as exciting for them as it is when they attack the castle of the dead!
"Whew-"
The dull sound of the horn continued to appear, beginning to echo in the space, long and far-reaching. The resurrected corpses in front of Levi and them began to shake violently after hearing the sound of the horn. Heavily armed, they slowly moved their steps, and little by little they launched an offensive towards Li Weijun's front.
But the offensive was quite slow, almost slow, I should say. With a slight stunned look in Levi's eyes, he still looked up at the governor's castle shrouded in black mist, and said lightly: "Wilmot, go on." ”
"Understand, Your Majesty, when they get up again, they will lie back again."
Wilmo nodded, his face calming back. The speed at which these corpses moved was not much faster than that of ordinary white bone skeleton warriors, and looking at the mutilated appearance of these corpses, he didn't believe that these skeleton warriors were the kind of silver skeleton warriors who could resist even flintlock pistols!
Taking a deep breath, the strong smell of blood made him have a coldness in his eyes, and raised his hand again, Wilmot looked at the 12-pounder infantry guns that had already been prepared next to him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Target the enemy in front of you, scatter a salvo!" ”
"Bang bang
The dull sound of the cannon roared, and in the solid barrel, a violent force was expanding, pushing dense metal projectiles forward, like a metal storm, frantically appearing in front of the corpses of these elite guards in the inner city, forming a heavy rain of steel, roaring through the sky.
This is a stray bullet, which is quite effective at restraining infantry swarms, and is equally effective against these assembled, slow-moving undead. The heavy, sturdy metal projectile easily shattered the skulls of the undead, shattering the dark blue soul fire inside, exposing it to the air.
But before these dark blue soul fires burned and turned into nothingness, a piece of pure white light suddenly appeared on the cross on Levi's chest, as if a big hand waved through those soul fires, absorbing all these dark blue things into the cross, and in Levi's mind, prompts of rising energy value also kept appearing.
The 20 12-pounder infantry guns fired a salvo, but Wilmot did not ask the artillerymen to stop. Looking at the corpse that had obviously fallen in pieces, his face was full of disdain. These resurrected corpses, as long as the head is destroyed and the soul fire is dissipated, it means that they are dead again, and they are not invincible and terrifying enemies.
"Bang bang
Another volley, the furious scattered bullets swept over those corpses again, the terrifying scene that was already in tatters, and even the internal organs were falling, was finally alleviated, and there were not too many corpses left of the four or five hundred, and the only scattered dozens were also accurately shot by the indigenous archers, shattering the skull, so that the soul fire was plundered by the cross on Levi's chest.
Wilmot took a few steps back, came to Levi's side, frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, will you still start the siege according to the original plan?" After a pause, his tone was a little solemn: "Maybe our next siege will not be easy." ”
"Of course it won't be easy, this castle has become a castle of the undead."
Levi nodded, squinting slightly at the entire Governor's Castle shrouded in black mist, but now it seemed that a large amount of evil aura was spreading, just like the mysterious undead plane. Taking a deep breath, Levi's mind quickly flipped through the recruitment interface, and when he saw the presence of the priest, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It has been proven in the plane of the dead that these Catholic priests are fully capable of dispelling evil and darkness. And with prayer and enchantment, you can also give the weapons of ordinary classes the power of the Holy Spirit. This power of purification and purity is the natural enemy of the undead, the light that destroys decay and withering!
"With the bells of heaven ringing, we are at your service, honorable Messiah."
Thirty Catholic priests appeared in front of Levi, and at the same time, their eyes had already spotted the black mist at the Doge's castle. They directly took out their armor-piercing war hammers, and there were more scriptures in their hands, with a resolute and dedicated look on their faces. As Catholic priests fighting evil, they will destroy all darkness even if they are all killed.
"Good." Levi nodded, looked at the 30 priests and asked, "Do you have a way to deal with the undead aura in front of you?" "This governor's castle that has been shrouded in black fog is definitely no different from the undead castle captured by him in the undead plane, if you rely solely on artillery and muskets, it actually doesn't have much effect.
After all, having lost nerves and blood vessels, these undead don't care about pain and hemorrhage. Therefore, cold weapons are the best choice, which is why Levi recruited these priests.
"Of course, evil will eventually be destroyed."
One of the priests at the head nodded, looking at the evil black mist, his brow furrowed. After pondering for a moment, he looked up and explained to Levi, "If you can get some fresh water, we can turn it into holy water with divine power after praying, so that it can affect those evil creatures. ”
"Holy water?" Levi nodded, it was a good idea, but he still asked, "Is there any other way, now that we are in enemy territory, it is impossible for you to pray for a long time." ”
"Crosses are fine."
The priests looked embarrassed, but one of them still spoke, looked at the exquisite houses around him, and hesitated: "It would be better if it was silver, we can use silver to forcibly stitch into the shape of crosses, as long as these crosses are worn on the body, they can produce divine power, although they cannot be compared with the more intense enchantment, but they can solve the effect in a short time." ”
After a pause, he still said a little helplessly: "But the divine power generated by the cross depends on the level of manufacturing, and here we can temporarily use the sword to chop and craft, so the effect will not be too great." ”
"That's the problem." Levi's brows furrowed, but he still turned to Wilmot next to him and ordered, "Keep the shelling on, at least we will destroy this governor's castle." "The Governor's Castle represents the authority of the Great Silver Plate Island, even if they can't create much of a threat, destroying part of this Governor's Castle can prove their strength.
In fact, Levi and his troops have proved their strength by coming here. Even in several places in the inner city, the nobles led their private armies to gather and wait for resistance, and there were even quite a few people who were transferring their possessions and escaping through secret passages, intending to leave Grey Mist City and flee towards Samar City, deep on the island.
"Understood."
Wilmo nodded, turning to the artillerymen and ordering, "Knock down those three watchtowers!" He pointed to the top of the Doge's Castle, at the top of the three tall watchtowers, where a thick black mist was condensing and looked uncomfortable. And before Levi also asked them to destroy the three watchtowers, so Wilmot also said in a deep voice: "Aim point!" ”
Direct aiming is always the job of a 12-pounder infantry gun, and at such a close distance, there is no problem in directly bombarding a watchtower more than 20 meters high, after all, as long as the main body of the watchtower can be broken, such a stone building will collapse on its own.
"Boom Boom-"
Turning to solid cast-iron shells, the 12-pounder infantry guns reopened their fire, blazing flames erupted, and 20 heavy solid shells roared towards the three watchtowers, bombarding the stone towers. As the metal and stone intersected, the shaking of the three watchtowers appeared visibly with the naked eye, and even the tiles on the top floor were falling rapidly.
And the originally dense and condensed black mist actually spread out in all directions during this shelling, not like diffuse, but more like dissipation!
PS: This book, how to say it, has been seriously broken recently, and it can almost be regarded as a weekly update. I'm still sorry, but to be honest, I've been working on a new book lately... The new book has also been conceived, so the book has been renewed. Ahem, let's not slap my face in advance, I'm ashamed.
But still advertised, the new book is also lord building, called "Lords in the Oasis", horseback riding and slashing goldfinger, DND and hero invincible background combined. I still hope that everyone will support, alas, thank you very much.
