Act 42: The Castle of Shadows
The light shone on Riptide Castle, leaving a blazing shadow on the dilapidated wall, and the sultry air flow through the wall, hanging up patches of cobwebs.
The dilapidated walls were crowded with panicked-looking crowds, and the Riptide soldiers watched as the army of forest trolls rolled down like a dark cloud, weapon in hand.
Locke was right in front of the forest troll army, and he raised his head and carefully observed the scenery on the city walls, the walls of Riptide Castle that had given him a headache were no longer a threat.
"I, Zulkin of the Forest Trolls, Grand Duke of Deadwood of the Kingdom of Riptide, give you an order to open the gates of the city at once if you do not want to die for the usurper Garin."
"Otherwise, the day I break the city will be your life." Locke said slowly and forcefully.
The sound echoed across the walls of Riptide Castle, making not only the soldiers of Riptide feel a little uneasy, but also the forest trolls behind Locke felt uplifted.
Locke raised his hand, this was not uncommon on the battlefield, most of the Fort Riptide soldiers were reluctant to surrender to the enemy because of their dignity, Locke was well aware of this, but under the threat of death, these soldiers would soon make concessions.
Locke had been prepared for a long time.
There was a shout from the army of forest trolls behind him, and a middle-aged soldier slowly walked out of the troll group.
As the middle-aged man slowly stepped out of the army of forest trolls, it caused a murmur on the walls above Riptide Castle.
"Isn't that our leader?"
"Did he also take refuge with Her Royal Highness Princess Laurina?"
"What are we going to do?"
These doubts instantly resounded on the walls of Riptide Castle, so that the janitor guarding the city gate felt very nervous, these soldiers could directly go to Laureina without fear of punishment, but he couldn't, as the janitor of Riptide Fort, he had to talk a lot of money to get this position.
If it's captured this time.
A drop of sweat on the forehead of the janitor slowly remained, and the dense forest trolls below were actually not terrifying, because they had no ability to attack the city at all, as long as the city gate was blocked for a while, then there was no possibility of Riptide Fort falling at all.
"Cheer me up," the guard viciously whipped the guards standing on the tower with the whip in his hand.
……
This scene happened to fall into Locke's eyes, and he sighed softly.
Some people just like to use the mantis arm as a car.
Obviously, Riptide Fort no longer has any troops stationed, and he is trying to use the city walls to win the battle.
In this case, Locke was also willing to play with these powerful people of Riptide Castle who didn't know the depth, the dark power in his hand had already gathered into the palm of his hand, and then he stretched out his hand and smashed a cloud of dark matter into the body of the ghoul not far away.
The dark energy mutates in the ghoul's body.
"Roar!"
The ghoul mutated from the dark energy into an undead behemoth, its body black, its muscles strong, and its body exuding a strong plague aura, it leaped forward and struck the city gate with a fist.
Card Rub
The wooden door was torn apart in an instant, and shards of splashed wood flew everywhere in the smoke and dust.
"Oh my God, what kind of monster is this?" The soldiers on the walls shouted loudly, as if they couldn't believe what was in front of them.
Locke smiled slightly, in fact, the gate of Riptide Fort was already dilapidated, and it was a miracle that it was not directly broken when it was old and had not been repaired at all.
"Soldiers, raise your arms, the forest trolls are about to storm our city." The gatekeeper standing on the city gate made Locke frown slightly, this guy simply increased the death of soldiers on both sides.
This is already on the slope of the city, what are you still insisting on?
Since Locke can't figure this out, he just needs to let him die. He took a throwing spear from his back and aimed it at the gatekeeper above the wall.
"Whoosh"
The throwing spear drew a stream of air through the air, ready to shoot unmistakably at the gatekeeper of the city gate. Only a "sonorous" sound was heard, and the heavy armor on the gatekeeper's body was torn apart, and then a string of blood splattered out of it.
"Surrender or die!" Locke raised his sword and rushed into Riptide Castle, in fact, from the moment the city gate was directly breached by Locke, the soldiers guarding the gate were actually not in the mood to continue to defend Riptide Castle.
The Riptide soldiers on top of the city walls scattered and quickly surrendered to Locke's command.
"Let the human soldiers manage the human captives." Locke gave the order, and he was riding a velociraptor at the moment, and he had reached the last fortress of Riptide Castle.
That is, the royal palace of Prince Garin.
Built during the reign of Soladin the Great, the castle has survived for thousands of years and is a veritable military bunker.
Locke smiled slightly, the magic runes described on the castle had long since lost their effect, and to this day, they could only play a terrifying role.
He snapped his fingers, only to see the air around him begin to writhe violently, followed by a flash of fire from his side.
This is the Lord of the Flame Demons.
"Burn the gates of this castle." Locke gave the order.
A smile appeared on the corner of the Fire Demon King's mouth, and his hands burned with flames, "I knew that you kid would be able to obtain this castle in the end." ”
Flames then shot out of the Fire Demon King's hands and onto the top of the city walls, and then the gates of Riptide Castle began to burn violently.
In just a short time, it turned to ashes.
The next moment, Locke turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed into the darkness of Riptide Castle.
Eternal darkness.
There were no lights in the castle, it was pitch black, and with Locke's eyesight, he could clearly see the candles and corpses randomly placed in the castle.
The world in Locke's eyes is gray, and from the moment he enters the castle, Locke uses the undead torso to temporarily turn his body into an undead to face the possible battle of trapped beasts.
Prince Garin's army has collapsed
I just don't know what else is behind this kind of ancient castle.
Locke walked slowly through the castle, he walked slowly, and moving through the castle reminded him of the time when he was exploring the Spider Kingdom.
It's so dark, it's scary, it's damp.
Tick, tick.
The sound of water droplets rang out in the castle, which made Locke a little irritated, and the distorted breath in the air reminded him of an extraordinary organization.
Twilight Eyes.
"It turns out that it's not just the Cult of the Damned, did the Eye of Twilight also come in and intervene?" Locke thought to himself.
