With the sound of chains straightening, the dragon spear in Su Wan's hand and the chains linked to the face were constantly being dragged. (The text was first published in the book cabinet biquge.info but the power of the zombie dwarf copper furnace was amazing, originally Su Wan thought that she could pull the opponent's weapon, but she didn't expect that it was she who was almost dragged away from the weapon. The terrifying power of the zombie was almost torn off her arm directly from her shoulder, if it weren't for the few Templar knights around her who quickly grabbed the dragon spear in her hand, it is estimated that Su Wan would have become an armless female knight by now.
It's just that those Templars grabbed the dragon lance, but they didn't completely resist the terrifying power of the other party. At this time, the terrifying power of the dwarf zombies was vividly displayed, and four or five holy flame knights pulled the dragon spear but still did not resist the opponent's strength. They weren't ordinary Templar Knights, they were all Grand Knights who had reached the Eighth Order. In terms of strength, almost all have hundreds of catties of strength, and the total strength of several people together is definitely more than a ton. But this nearly ton of power still did not pull the war hammer, but was slowly pulled by the dwarf zombies.
However, now that they are in a state of battle, these Holy Flame Knights are not helping to fight soy sauce, and for them, if they can buy enough delay time for the two captains, it will be a success. During their tug-of-war match with the dwarf zombies, the two high knights attacked very decisively, and the big swords in their hands slashed at each other's heads like two bolts of lightning.
However, these two swift attacks jammed the moment they slashed their necks, or rather, they slashed the dwarven zombie's neck but failed to cut it. The dwarf's neck was as if it were made of steel, and when it was slashed, it not only made a clanging sound, but also burst into bursts of golden metallic sparks. The two big knights who slashed their necks were shocked by the hardness of each other's necks, because their hands began to tremble after this slash.
"By the way, this guy's neck should have been chopped off!" Fei Yun looked at the dwarf who was being cut and touched his neck, and suddenly asked Hu Lansi beside him, because he remembered that the person who cut off the dwarf's neck once seemed to be the one next to him.
"I must have chopped off its head once, and I cut it several times, and most of the bones were broken!" Hu Lansi remembered very clearly how difficult this dwarf was to kill when he was a low-level zombie, not only with high defense power, but also terrifying with life recovery. The sturdy zombie skin was three points tougher than the strongest leather armor, and it was difficult for even the most Chen Kai's giant sword to completely cut through the opponent's skin. The most important thing is that the people in the team with sharp weapons were on the roof of the blacksmith shop, and the weapons in the blacksmith were not so sharp, so it took a lot of effort to finally cut off the opponent's head, and the entire zombie's neck was chopped into slag.
But now the neck of the target in front of him was firmly fixed in the body, and it seemed that its defense had been strengthened, so in the minds of several people, they quickly began to imagine what kind of strong tibia was under the zombie's skin. However, they soon learned what kind of structure was hidden under the neck skin of the dwarven zombie, and when the two great knights' weapons cut through each other's neck armor, a neck bone made of metal was exposed to everyone's eyes. There's no flesh at all, just a passage with metal structures and magical patterns.
"Chop it off! Chop it off! Only its neck is metallic! Fei Yun's eyes kept on the dwarf called the copper furnace, and he was almost the first person to see the metal neck under the neck guard armor, so he subconsciously prompted. But his words made Pacnon feel very angry, and he almost stood up and wanted to yell at Fei Yun, because the arm was so important to the dwarves. Dwarves who lose their arms can no longer forge and mine, which is tantamount to the greatest punishment for dwarves. Only dwarves who have committed grave sins will have their hands cut off, and only after they have died. It is the brave warrior who loses his arm in life, but it is the sinner who loses his arm after death. So Pacnon was so angry at Fei Yun's suggestion that he almost jumped up and roared at the other party, but he remembered that it was not the thief who carried out this but the two great knights, so he turned to shout at the two people in the fight.
"Nope! Don't chop your hands!! Pachnon's shout was loud and echoed rapidly in the castle's entrance hall, but it was too late. Because the two great knights had already chopped off the arm of the dwarven zombie along with the armor, there was no solid metal skeleton like a neck, so although the sword encountered obstacles after it fell, it was still chopped down under the full strength of the two great knights who had reached the ninth order.
With a loud bang, the war hammer held in the hands of the dwarf zombie was dragged by several Holy Flame Knights as its arm left its body, and at the same time, the dwarf zombie who had been engaged in tug-of-war with the Holy Flame Knights suddenly lost its arm, and as a result, its body balance suddenly disappeared. The low body fell directly backwards, but the low chassis is still beneficial, at least it is not easy to wrestle. So after a quick step back two steps, it stood still again, its eyes a little confused as it looked at the empty elbows, where a large amount of foul-smelling black blood was gushing out wildly.
However, for zombies, the loss of blood does not bring too much threat to their vitality, because zombies rely on the power of death to promote their activities, so what is more harmful to it is the divine power attached to the wound. At this time, the two great knights had the original magic that could not cause damage to each other, all because of the armor that the other party was wearing, and the black armor isolated the power of the magic spell, so the magic that hit the opponent had no way to cause damage to the other party. Until the arm is chopped off, revealing the zombie** underneath the armor.
"Damn thieves! Look what a bad idea you've come up with! Dwarven corpses cannot be desecrated, you bastard! Pacnon roared angrily at Fayyun, a funeral priest who had always followed the doctrine of protecting the dwarves' bodies after they died. Because the dwarves who are the sons of the earth believe very much that only a complete body can finally return to the arms of the mother earth goddess, even the high dwarf god is in the arms of the mother earth goddess when he sleeps. Of course, the Mother Earth Goddess here is the oldest generation of the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia, not the sleeping Earth Goddess Amphara.
"I had a bad idea! Then you can give me a good idea! Fei Yun looked at the dwarf who jumped in front of him and pointed at his nose and scolded very angrily, Nima's! As a dwarf, you don't have to make soy sauce, and you come to say that he, the person who just came up with a good idea, has a bad idea. Although he knew that dwarves were not easy to offend, but the clay man was also rustic, and he felt angry when he was scolded by the other party, so he couldn't help but scold the other party.
Parknon, who was educated by an orthodox priest, is definitely not as talented as Fei Yunlai, as a modern person who has been immersed in scolding skills for thousands of years, Fei Yun has mastered dozens of scolding words. He could have come up with words that could describe animals, plants, or anything else, but the other one wasn't so powerful. He tossed and turned on and over in less than ten words, damned, desecrating dwarven corpses, bastard, grave robber, and so on. As a result, the poor dwarf Paknon was quickly defeated by Fei Yun's vicious words, his face was red and white, and he was almost about to swing the war hammer in his hand towards the opponent's head, and directly developed from Wendou to Quanwuxing.
When the body of the dwarf zombie copper furnace completely collapsed, Pacnon had completely lost the control of this scolding battle, and he had basically completely fallen into the state of being scolded. Occasionally, the counterattack is pale and weak, and has little effect other than the introduction of laughter. In the end, the dwarf Pacnon completely admitted defeat, and he walked to the dwarf zombie who had lost his breath of life, and slowly wiped the thick pulp flowing from the hole in the other party's head with the silk cloth in his hand.
"May your soul rest in peace beside the great Paladin, my brother!" For the dwarves, especially the dwarven funeral priests, they will treat all the dwarves as their brothers and sisters, and call each other as such. This title makes the Funeral Priest very popular among the dwarves and is also very revered. Although they carry the smell of rotting corpses due to their frequent dealings with the dead, few people in the dwarven world would despise a funeral priest. Because they are engaged in a noble profession, so that the body of the dwarf can return to the bosom of the mother earth goddess, so that the soul of the dwarf can ascend to the kingdom of the god of Paladine.
"Go and apologize!" Chen Kai sat on the ground and said to Fei Yun, looking at the appearance of the dwarf Pachanon, no one would be angry with him anymore. The love and care of the dwarves is an important reason why the dwarves have always stood on the earth and never weakened, and the dwarves are the most united race, even if the civil strife in history is only caused by the severance of Palatin's inheritance and some dwarves are lured by demons to fall. At the same time, the civil strife was also the fewest civil war to date, and no race in history could help each other in the face of a civil war like the dwarves.
The unity of the dwarves is unbelievable, as no one believed that they would lay down their arms in battle to protect enemy soldiers, but the dwarves did. The real reason why tens of thousands of dwarves died in the civil war of history was not because of war, but because of guilt. When the war ended, the guilt of facing the dwarves of the same race who were killed by himself led nearly 10,000 dwarves to commit suicide, and the three dwarven kings who started the war at the same time hurriedly confessed to the next generation after regaining their senses, because they had too much guilt in their hearts. Their mistake led to the death of tens of thousands of dwarves, you must know that the total population of dwarves at that time was only five million, and the total number of adult dwarves who were truly effective was less than one million. As a result, 50,000 people died in a civil war, and the death of nearly one in twenty adult dwarves was a very huge loss. So don't question the unity power of the dwarves, because you'll find that they're more united than you think.
The dwarven Paknon wiped the blood off the surface of the zombie dwarf's body with the water he carried, and carefully removed the armor and demonized horns that should not belong to the dwarf. The horns that were born in the head of the zombie dwarf were smashed alive by him with his warhammer, and then smashed into powder little by little. Each drop of the warhammer was like a soul being whipped and tortured by the recipient, and a trace of golden holy power slowly gathered in the warhammer, crushing the horns below, so that the evil power contained in it was completely clear and could be crushed.
"May your soul rest in peace! My brother! Saski? Remember your name, don't be confused, don't be nostalgic, don't hesitate on the road to the kingdom of God! The light of Palatine will guide you so that you can reach the eternal kingdom in peace! When the horn was completely crushed, Parknon slowly grabbed the powder from the ground with his rough hands and sprinkled it little by little on the body of the dwarven zombie. When the powder touched the body of the zombie dwarf, a golden flame quickly burned the dwarf's body, and in a short time, the dwarf's body was burned into a crystal white ash.
"The earth will be the final destination of your body! My brother!! Little by little, Pacnon gathered the ash from the ground and slowly collected it into a jar made of clay. This is something that needs to be transported back to the dwarven homeland, where the souls of the dwarves can truly rest in peace. In fact, the dwarves are the most remembered about the concept of their homeland, even after the death of the dwarves who wander outside, they hope that their bodies can eventually return to their hometowns, and only some dwarves with special status have no way to completely transport the body back to their hometown after death. For example, Bass's uncle Anroe, as a paladin of the Temple of Dawn, will be buried in the cemetery of the Holy Mountain after his death, and only part of the ashes will be transported back to the dwarven homeland to be sprinkled in the mountains of his homeland. As for Bass's adoptive father, the coffin of the legendary blacksmith Locks, he was escorted back to the Dwarven Kingdom by Bass and buried in the King's Cemetery of the Dwarven Kingdom.
When Pachanon finished cleaning up the corpse of the copper furnace, his body did not stop at the armor that had the effect of resisting the magic or the terrible warhammer, but walked towards another corpse. The corpse of José, the zombie dwarf who was killed by Rusana, repeated the same action as the copper furnace, and the dwarf Pacnon disposed of the corpse with the actions of a regular burial priest. Eventually, when he finished wiping the tattered body of the dwarf zombie Jose, who was covered in magical damage, a bottle of holy water was handed over.
"I'm sorry!!" This is the most sincere apology Fei Yun has ever said in his life, and he never thought that these three words of sorry would be so heavy. Parknon looked at Fei Yun with dull eyes, reached out and took the holy water from the other party's hand, and slowly poured it on Jose's body. The holy water with divine power continued to corrode the bodies of dwarven zombies created by the power of death, but at the same time, it also healed the wounds of destruction and restored the dwarves' original face.
Later, when the dwarves disposed of José's body, the entire castle hall was completely silent, and all the knights sat quietly on the ground, and the knights who had broken their bones were sent back to the manor after emergency treatment. At the same time, two more teams of the Knights of the Holy Flame were transferred by Andre, because the traces of dwarven zombies found here made him suspect that the dwarven princess might be in this castle.
The two Knights of the Holy Flame brought not only reinforcements, but also two powerful magic mentors. One is the Grand Mentor of the Arcane Department, and the other is a relatively rare Wind Elemental Mentor. It's just that after entering the castle, the two great mentors were immediately attracted by the two sets of armor that were collected as trophies, and for them, armor that could resist the power of magic was rare, especially one that still retained a relatively complete structure.
"Tell Andre that we want these two pieces of armor, and we can pay off one-third of the debt!" Arcane Grand Mentor Frý? Wood waved at Rusana, and then threw himself into the study of the armor. Obviously, the mage's search for the princess has nothing to do with him, and his only concern is to study the materials and whether he can recover the debt. Although Rusana was very frustrated by the decision of the two mages, he knew how much his leader had paid to get the other to help, especially the Florian Arcane Mentor. Basically, half of Andre's debt is in the hands of the other party, so forgiving one-third of the debt is a good thing for the entire Holy Flame Knights.
However, the situation of the two mages is still not good, although Rusana knows that the other party is one of the creditors of the entire Holy Flame Knights, but Andre invited them to participate in the battle, not to be researchers. So whether the two mages agree or not, he still has to take them into the castle, if he agrees, that's the best, if he doesn't, he can only use a more unique method.
As for what method this barbarian great knight used to bring the mage who had fallen into a state of fanatical research back to his senses, Chen Kai didn't know very well, but he knew that he was going to enter this familiar and unfamiliar place again. If anyone in the team knew enough about the City Lord's Mansion in Sanorasser, it was estimated that in addition to the Templar Knights who had been stationed here, they would have to count Chen Kai who had been here several times. In the later stages of Sannorasser's defense of the city, Chen Kai reported the situation in the town to the consuls in the city lord's mansion, in addition to searching for thugs in the streets all day long. As a result, Chen Kai had to go back and forth to the City Lord's Mansion at least three or four times a day, and his knowledge of the structure of the first half of the castle was almost as good as that of those who lived here for a long time, because at that time he had to run non-stop on the steps of the castle or be carried on his back every day.
Although many of the Holy Flame Knights led by Andre were once stationed here, and even their former home was here. But it was Chen Kai who really knew everything about the City Lord's Mansion, and the result was that Chen Kai, who was not strong and very large, became the leader of the team, because when the great knight Rusana was still rummaging through the map of the City Lord's Mansion, he could already lead people to search in the castle.
If it was placed when Sanorasse was still being breached, Chen Kai's behavior of bringing others into the castle to destroy would definitely be called a traitor, but now the owner of the entire castle has fallen in that battle. At the same time, Chen Kai and the others are also attacking the castle to snatch it back from the current owner, so Chen Kai can only be regarded as a leading party at most.
However, being a leader in a castle is not a good job, because it is not wealth but real danger that leads the way. Although the castle is still the castle in Chen Kai's memory, the road inside is no longer the clean and tidy road it was at the beginning. The steps are littered with countless traps and traps, some of which contain malevolent spells and others that are simply covered in toxins. The traps containing spells can be quickly understood in the eyes of the two high masters, but those traps and toxin traps need to be lifted by the only thief in the team, and due to the level gap, this is still a little difficult to remove, and it is possible for a person to accidentally not remove the trap but almost lose himself. Although Fei Yun was very happy to see his skill experience in disarming the trap increase, this kind of dancing on the tip of the knife was not to his liking, and he would rather face a safe with a time bomb than face a trap that didn't know when it would explode. Time bombs can at least let people know when they will explode, but the traps in the game don't have the concept of timing, and they will explode if they are said to explode. Even if he was wearing the spell wall that the two magic masters blessed him, Fei Yun was still terrified when he opened the trap again, for fear that he would accidentally be shot into a hedgehog by those crossbow arrows that burst out.
"This is not an easy job~ head! Can I request a raise? Fei Yun looked at a crossbow trap not far away and turned his head to Chen Kai behind him and asked, because the structure of this trap was too complicated, so complicated that Fei Yun couldn't wait to cut the craftsman who designed this trap into a hundred pieces.
"I can give you an increase in your pension!" Chen Kai winked at Fei Yun, and then tried hard to signal him to hurry up and work. Because they had only passed through a corridor so far, the entire castle hall was still less than twenty meters behind them.
"Forget it! I still don't want a pension! Fei Yun shook his head and slowly crawled towards the trap, on the side of the trap of the crossbow machine, the original magic trap had been directly destroyed and lifted by the two spell masters with spells, and the rest were purely mechanical mechanisms. Some of the traps were destroyed by the power of the spell, but many more were left alive and the path would only become safe when they were manually disarmed, and that would only take time.

Anyway, the progress has been a bit slow lately, mainly because of my personal reasons. The hemorrhage in one eye resulted in blurry vision, and then the writing idea was a little stuck, and the plan to make up the chapter might be delayed, but I will try.
