Chapter 39: The Gargoyle Descends
Awakened from his slumber, Rollin's mental state returned to its peak state, he rubbed his eyes, picked up the steel sword placed on the ground, opened the tent and walked out.
It's quiet outside!
The camp chosen by Bugas happened to be in a mountain nest surrounded on all sides, and when night came, the torches were extinguished, and the whole camp was dark.
Many townspeople knew that tonight might be unusual, so most of them didn't rest, squatting nervously not far from the tent, not daring to make a sound.
Although most of the people were awake, the entire camp was still quiet and the pins were falling, except for the distant sound of insects.
A blood-red moon hung in the sky, causing a bad premonition to rise in everyone's hearts.
Women and children who were unable to fight had been taken to the safety of the back and protected from the fighting.
Guarding the monolith now were the militia assembled by Bugas.
After a day of fleeing, the militia team has increased by more than 300 people, the number has reached the level of 500, and many townspeople have spontaneously formed a team, although these new militia members do not have much combat skills, but it is better to have one more person to contribute than one less, and there is no need for them to directly enter the battlefield now.
Before leaving the small town of Field, Bugas and the others wore a large collection of bows and arrows and crossbow guns, which were enough for them to use.
Rollin had already given orders before, and the most important thing was to spend tonight in peace, as long as he spent tonight, then the rest of the matter would be much simpler, so Bugas and the others had almost no hesitation.
Walking out of the tent, the first thing I saw was that Avrilan was holding her chin with her hands and was sitting on the edge of the door, the girl seemed to be tired, and she was dozing off while sitting, and after noticing him coming out, she was startled and hurriedly stood up: "Less...... Master! ”
"Yes!" Rollin nodded, glanced at the calm camp, and found that Bugas and the others were really lying on a boulder, staring nervously at the bottom of the mountain.
Seeing Rollin approaching, Bugas hurriedly climbed down and nodded to him.
"They didn't show up?"
Luo Lin felt a little strange, it was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and the fluctuations of the elemental tide had almost reached its peak, it should have been the time for the living dead to attack, but now he found that there was no sign of the appearance of the living dead at all, not even the gnolls.
The whole Bat Mountain, quiet and a little eerie.
"I didn't find it, I sent three sentries to look down the mountain, but I didn't find any traces, I did see a few gnolls, but they retreated!"
Bugas also found something strange, it stands to reason that the best time for the living dead to attack at night, they should not let go of the opportunity, but they held it for almost a night, and they did not see a single living dead appear.
"Will he not find us?"
Avrilan next to her interjected.
Rollin glanced at her, frowned slightly, and stared up at the dark Bat Mountain.
It was almost late at night, and occasionally there would be a terrible wail from Bat Mountain, and in the distance, a ghost fire could occasionally be seen drifting.
Masdar is a veteran wizard and can't miss any information, and now that they are not attacking, there may be another surprise.
I don't know why, a trace of ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Luo Lin's heart, very strong!
The last time he had fought against Masdar many times, Rollin knew his titular uncle very well, Masdar was good at plague witchcraft, and he was extremely specialized in refining lichs, many powerful lichs in the continent of Sauron were his masterpieces, and he himself was as cunning as a fox, scheming, and clever, and he was by no means an ordinary person.
Moreover, he will repay it!
In the previous life, the grievances and grievances between the two Deridro brothers were an extremely bloody plot, not only that Derot was expelled from Field Town.
It is said that when they were young, both brothers were extremely talented wizards, and they both fell in love with a beautiful girl and wanted to marry her, so the two brothers began to compete with each other, and after some fighting, one of them failed, and as a result, they turned against each other.
If you count it seriously, that girl should be the mother of the original Rollin.
Of the two brothers, Masdar resented his defeat, and his heart was filled with sadness and anger, and after being banished, he was tempted by the great lich Vasa to gradually fall and destroy.
In the history of the continent of Sauron, Masdar can be regarded as one of the most tragic people.
Of course, the poor man has his own hate, and Masdar's sins are too many to count in the afterlife, and I don't know how many people want to kill him. And now for Rollin, the most important thing is not that, but that he must know what Masdar is doing as soon as possible.
"Bugas, wake everyone up at once, get all your bows and crossbows ready, and point them at the sky, we may be in trouble."
Luo Lin quickly raised his head and stared into the distance, his expression was solemn, and he gritted his teeth: "They have already come!" ”
"What?" Bugas was taken aback.
"Humph!" A sneer crossed the corner of Luo Lin's mouth, stared up at the sky, and suddenly snatched a torch from the militia next to him and threw it into the sky.
With a "boom", the torch quickly streaked a long fire mark in the sky and fell to the ground.
Bugas and the others were startled and stared at the sky, because when the flames just passed, a strange creature appeared in mid-air.
"Gargoyles, gargoyles!"
A militiaman suddenly screamed in horror, having seen the undead from the wizard's atlas.
Gargoyles, just one of them!
When Bugas heard this, he stared at the sky: "Gargoyle ......"
He immediately ran out and woke everyone up.
"Hurry up, they're attacking from the sky!"
"Take up the bow and arrow and face it to the sky!"
"Damn, it's a gargoyle!"
The entire camp seemed to have exploded, and it quickly boiled, and countless people looked at the sky, staring at a dark sky, their faces pale.
Gargoyles are more fearful than the living dead, and in the legends of Sauron, gargoyles are a creature that is extremely terrifying.
It is rumored that they are the guardians of hell, bloodthirsty, cruel and bloody, terrifying flight ability coupled with sharp claws, can easily tear a person in half, if the living dead just make everyone panic, then the appearance of gargoyles, has meant the arrival of demons.
They're real demons!
The crowd was terrified and turned to the sky, but there was no sound to be seen under the dark night.
When the gargoyles were discovered, they didn't attack immediately, and seemed to just fly in the sky to spy on them.
Rollin frowned, looked up at the sky, looked up at the bottom of the mountain, turned to Bugas and said, "You are in charge of defense, the gargoyles can use bows and arrows to shoot them down, they don't come much, as for the rest...... I'll go out and have a look! ”
Bugas was surprised: "Where are you going!" ”
A sneer suddenly crossed the corner of Luo Lin's mouth: "I'll go see what plans they are making, maybe tonight will be interesting!" ”
As he spoke, his body gradually faded and disappeared, and soon disappeared in front of Bugas and the others.
When Bugas and the militia looked at each other, a hint of panic rose in their hearts
