Chapter Fifty-Three - Phantom Archers

Night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The rebuilding of the fortress of Baharet has begun under the command of Miral and Ramanrath, and some of the knights in the army who are good and vigilant have also been assigned to several medium-sized cities with teleportation magic stations to defend these teleportation magic stations, so as not to be secretly activated by Alpha's small elite forces, so that Alpha's army can suddenly kill from behind Lu Ming and others.

And as the largest city in this area, Prasiux City naturally became the camp of Lu Ming and the others and the large army under their command.

The original elven nobles in this city, except for a few who stayed to appease the people, all the others chose to evacuate here when the Mirakaisa army counterattacked Alpha, and rushed to the imperial capital of the Alpha Empire, waiting for an opportunity to kill back with Alpha's main army.

But when they leave the people behind, even if they can kill them back, what can they do? The people have been abandoned by them, and it is naturally impossible for them to agree to rule themselves.

Moreover, it is still a question mark whether they can call back!

Standing at the gate of the Lord's Mansion, allowing the guards and knights to salute and move into the mansion, Lu Ming glanced at the outside of the Lord's Mansion in silence, and then said to a knight: "Show me the teleportation magic station in the city, don't let the elves of Alpha activate it." ”

"Yes! Lord Viscount! Hearing the order, this man immediately rushed to the teleportation magic station in the city with a team of soldiers, and guarded the teleportation magic station with the original small group of soldiers there.

Watching the group of soldiers walk away, it was not until they were gone, that Lu Ming turned around and entered the lord's mansion, which originally belonged to an elf nobleman.

Most of the elven houses rely on magic and magic to allow trees to grow naturally, and the brick and stone houses of humans and beast-eared tribes are completely different styles. However, the elves do not build masonry houses at all, but only rarely. For example, a small temple outside the lord's mansion where Lu Ming was about to temporarily stay was used to pray to the gods of the elven race, which was made of bricks and stones

The main body is a mansion of three giant trees fused together, and although there are no leaves or branches in the interior, there are many uneven places on the walls and floor because the trees grow naturally. There were no open flame lamps or magic lamps used by humans and beast-eared people on the walls, but instead a plant bred by the elves that looked like fruits and glowed faintly white at night. This luminous plant was grafted by the elves into the three giant trees that were used as the lord's mansion, and relied on the nutrients of the giant trees to survive and glow. Even though the light it emits is not very strong, it is enough to illuminate.

Because it was already late, Lu Ming and the others were ready to go to bed.

But when he and Chimera saw that their bed was also uneven, they couldn't help but look at Kate and Kemias, who had changed into pajamas.

As a result, Kemias and Kate said: "Although neither of us has tried this kind of bed, it should be okay~ probably ......"

Hearing the sentence 'probably', Lu Ming knew that these two goods were also unreliable guys, and he had no choice but to do it himself, using natural magic to increase the concave part of the bed, fill in the recessed place, and then spread a thick soft quilt to make himself sleep a little more comfortably.

It's a pity, before Lu Ming could lie down and try his modified wooden bed, a female knight of the personal guard ran over and said to him: "Just now, a team of special forces of Alpha wanted to infiltrate the teleportation magic station to activate the magic array, but they were bumped into by our knights, and after a fierce battle, they injured two of our knights and ran away. However, two or three of them were also hit by lightning spears. Although they survived with some special magical device, they wouldn't have survived long if they weren't healed! So the knights would like you to approve our search of the hospital and the home of the elves who can heal that wound. ”

Hearing this, Lu Ming didn't think about it, so he said directly: "The search is not reliable, and it is easy for the people in the city to rebel against us. ”

With that, he put on his clothes and walked briskly outside. At the same time, he asked the female knight, "By the way, when the knights fought those guys, did they let the shadow creatures remember their appearance and smell?" ”

"Yes! Because they knew that the other party was an elite special forces, after the knights discovered them, they immediately summoned shadow creatures and quietly sneaked into their shadows. ”

"Why search when we already have the ability to track them?"

"It's because the signal from the shadow creatures through the contract is weak, so we ......"

"That's it! Needless to say. Now go and gather the knights at once, we're going to track down the elves. ”

"Yes! Lord Viscount! ”

Seeing that Lu Ming had to leave because of the sudden appearance of those special forces of Alpha, Chimera's heart was slightly worried.

However, Kate actually asked how Kemias knew each other, which made her a little curious, so she immediately looked at Kemias and threw her worries about her husband 108,000 miles away.

If Lu Ming knew that she threw away her worries about herself because of gossip, she might be angry with this girl Chimera, right?

-----------------------------------

Two hours later, Lu Ming led a large group of Yugsotus knights to gallop through the streets of Prasius City at night.

Because it was late at night, and the city was occupied by Lu Ming, there was no one on the street, and the only light source was the Aries Scepter in Lu Ming's hand that shot out the lighting magic.

Through the signal sent by the shadow creatures through the secret of the contract, Lu Ming and the others soon came to a place in the city that looked dilapidated.

"This is the temple of a god that the elves believed in in ancient times, two thousand years ago, because of some unknown things, the elves suddenly gave up continuing to believe in this god, so the temple will be like this. It's just that this is a temple of gods after all, and the mortal race has no right to demolish it, so even if no elves believe in this god, his temple is still here. "The female knight who had investigated this place in advance explained to Lu Ming why this dilapidated stone temple appeared in the bustling city of Prasius.

"My lord, the signal came from inside the temple." At this time, a magician on the side suddenly said to Lu Ming.

Hearing this, Lu Ming immediately waved his hand and asked the knights to turn over and dismount with him. Then it ordered, "Leave fifteen men, and the others will follow me in!" ”

The team brought by Lu Ming consisted of a total of thirty-two people. In order to prevent this from being a trap, he chose to leave nearly half of the knights outside the temple to avoid being surrounded by enemies.

After all, the other party is a special assassination team of the elf clan, and it is normal to play some intrigue and trickery, and no one has ever said that arrogant elves will not play conspiracy.

When I opened the door of the temple, I was greeted by an empty and dilapidated temple, and although there was no cobwebs or anything like it because it was a temple of the gods, it was also full of dust, as if no one had entered it for hundreds of years.

Under the statue of the god in the main hall, there were three dying elves, one by one, their faces were pale, blood was flowing from the corners of their mouths, but their eyes were staring directly at Lu Ming's dozen people, and their eyes were full of hatred.

As soon as they saw these three elves, the knights under Lu Ming's command planned to walk over and arrest those elves, but for safety reasons, Lu Ming stopped their movements and instead used magic to probe the surroundings, probing the entire temple inside and out.

As a result, it was found that on the ground in front of the three elves who were hit by thunder guns and survived by relying on special devices, but they were about to finish playing, there were special mechanisms, as long as Lu Ming and others were close, the mechanisms would be activated, resulting in all kinds of traps being determined. A series of traps, such as hidden arrows, pegboards, spike pits, etc., will make the knights who go to capture the three elves have no return.

"Huh! Pitfall! After detecting the various traps buried in the temple, Lu Ming couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and then shot out with a wave of missiles, activating all the traps on the three elves' side, so that the three elves watched the traps carefully arranged by their companions activate one by one, but they didn't gain anything!

After the last trap was activated, Lu Ming led the knights to a place almost ten meters away from those elves, and said with a smile: "To be honest, they can use you as bait, I didn't expect it. But I'm not a quick winner, and I won't be fooled when you know we have shadow creatures tracking you, but you still come to this place, and stay here motionless, knowing that there is a trap here. ”

As he spoke, Lu Ming pointed the Aries Scepter at the three elves.

"Also, I'm not going to keep you. You're a special forces, and interrogation is useless, so I think it's better to kill you directly. Especially when you guys have some unknown parasite buried in your body. ”

After saying that, Lu Ming unleashed a fire-based elemental magic, directly blasting those three elves into charcoal!

At this time, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the temple, and as soon as Lu Ming heard this voice, he immediately ran out with the knights.

At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot towards Lu Ming from outside the main hall. But Lu Ming didn't give the other party a chance at all, and directly pulled out the straight sword, and split the arrow with one sword!

Seeing that this blow did not achieve the goal they wanted, the elven clan's special assassination elite unit immediately chose to retreat.

The trap didn't work out, the mission didn't complete, and three teammates were lost, all of which was too bad for this unit. Although it is said that they will not necessarily fight hard Yugosotus, if there is this great magician, it will be different.

So no matter how humiliated they are, they will choose to retreat instead of fighting stupidly.

But just as they were about to retreat, Lu Ming suddenly used his speed, and in an instant, he killed in front of these elves, and with a slight wave of the cold Ilusil straight sword in his hand, he cut off the head of an elf. Moreover, the cold air on the straight sword also froze the wound on the neck of this elf, so that some kind of parasitic creature that lived in the body of these elves could not jump out of the wound.

"Didn't you say that the elves were very protective? How could they transplant such an evil thing into your body? Frowning, he glanced at the elf corpse, and then Lu Ming looked at the other elves.

These elves all looked thinner and pale than ordinary elves, but judging from the dark arrow they had shot earlier, and the few knights of Yugosotus who had been wounded by them lying on the streets outside the temple, they were not weak. Compared to the average elven soldiers, they are a little more powerful.

Hearing Lu Ming's words, those elves did not answer, but after glancing at each other, they took out their bows and arrows, preparing to shoot Lu Ming.

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but be stunned, and whispered to himself: "The death of my companion has no effect on them at all, how is this possible?" ”

Those elves who looked very thin didn't wait for Lu Ming to make any moves, and without waiting for him to react, they shot out the arrows in their hands without saying a word!

It's a pity that their bow and arrow shooting didn't have much effect on Lu Ming, who had divine speed and high-speed movement.

With an arrow step, his figure flickered slightly, Lu Ming easily avoided their attack, and approached those elves at high speed and killed three or four elves one by one.

But no matter how many companions died, these elves were still expressionless, and even some of them had dull eyes, as if they were all puppets. This made Lu Ming and the knights of Yugsotus a little curious.

After hacking to death most of the soldiers of the elven special assassination elite unit in a few strokes, Lu Ming gave one of the magicians among the knights of Yugosotus a look, signaling him to use magic to establish a temporary barrier to shield these elves from the mysterious connection with the outside world.

As a result, as soon as the barrier was established, the elves suddenly fell down with violent convulsions as if they had had a seizure.

Suddenly, after the elves twitched on the ground for a while, one evil plant after another burst out of the elves' bodies and bloomed into bewitching and strange flowers!

"My lord, these guys are not the special forces of the elves at all, they are phantom archers who have been chosen as sacrifices!" At the sight of the parasitic plants made up of brilliant blood-red petals and sharp teeth, the mage among the knights of Yugosotus immediately shouted loudly.

Phantom archers are similar to the existence of the dead in the elf race, but unlike the dead soldiers, these guys have been parasitized by a special parasitic plant since childhood, and these parasitic plants can allow these elves to be controlled by some elves such as priests in the tree elves to perform some tasks in the assassination office.

Although these parasitic plants do not usually harm these elves, once they are cut off from the tree elf priest, then they immediately rush out of the body of the parasitic elves and devour a large amount of flesh and blood in order to reproduce.

And, even if they weren't disconnected, the Dryad Priest could have these parasitic plants do their bidding, dashing out of their bodies and devouring their enemies.

"Damn the Dryads! You've even taken out this kind of stuff and used it! ”
