Chapter 2: The Battle of the Lamel Mountains
() The mountains of Rummel in the southeastern part of the Fayele Empire
A long period of foreign wars and popular riots has led to the death of a once-formidable empire
A pampered convoy winds its way slowly south, this convoy consists of dozens of caravans, and the people sitting on the caravan are dressed in plain but brightly colored cardigans, women with turbans around their heads, men with wide-brimmed hats, their complexions are darker, their faces are long and square, the nose bridge is extra long, tall and straight, the mouth is a little wide, the expression is calm and mysterious, and there is a sense of indifference, some of them play musical instruments, some sing along to the music, and some girls fiddle with the tarot cards in their hands - caravans, music, These three tarot cards are the symbols of the famous wandering people on Olopa: the Gamboki
The Gamboki are a people of many calamities, they have no territory of their own, no country of their own, they use caravans as their home, drag huge convoys to wander from country to country, live a wandering life, street arts, sell livestock, sell medicine, work as musicians and divination to earn a meager living expenses and travel expenses, because they do not believe in the Cult of the Holy Light, they are discriminated against in most human countries, and have been slaughtered many times in history, however, the Gamboki people are optimistic, Cheerful personalities to face the ups and downs of life, they are versatile, guò singing and dancing to show life, the word gamboki means dancer, and the gamboki people are also known for their hospitality, they will not refuse any guest who wants to sing, dance or travel with them
In one of the most gorgeous caravans in the convoy, a guest who had embarked on a journey with the Gamboki was being greeted with their hospitality, hahahaha...... The hearty laughter of several men and women could be heard from the caravan, and it seemed that the guests were chatting happily with the patriarch and the other receptionists of the clan
Suddenly, the sky in the mountains was overcast, a thick black curtain blocked the sun, and the mountains that had just been sun-drenched were shrouded in darkness in a matter of seconds, and the convoy stopped, and the horses in charge of pulling the caravan seemed to be frightened, and the musicians stopped playing, and the singers did not sing anymore, the girls put down their tarot cards, and the whole convoy was talking about this sudden darkness
What's going on, the curtain of the gorgeous caravan was lifted, and a hunchbacked old man walked out on crutches and asked the people next to him
In the darkness, he couldn't see his five fingers, and the questioner could only discern the direction of the voice, and replied to the hunchbacked old man: Patriarch, I don't know if it was okay just now
Hurry up and start the torch so as not to frighten the guests inside the hunchbacked old man who is called the patriarch commanded
Soon, around the magnificent caravan, the sparkling light was ignited and spread rapidly to both ends of the convoy, and the whole convoy was shrouded in the light of a torch, but at this moment, a cold wind blew by, and all the torches were extinguished wherever the cold wind went, and people shivered with cold
It's better to be dark, I hate what glows the most, and an eerie voice came from not far from the front of the convoy, and the Gamboki at the front of the convoy saw a strange green light source approaching them, and when the green light approached, it was discovered that the speaker was a strange man shrouded in a black robe, and he held an oak magic staff in his bone-thin right hand, and a skull was embedded at the top of the magic staff, and the strange green light came from the skeleton's hollow eyes
Guest, do you have anything to do, although I thought the man was too strange, but a middle-aged Gamboji man still greeted him with the etiquette peculiar to the Gamboji people
Hmph, the strange man snorted coldly, raised his magic wand, the skeleton's mouth suddenly opened, and a transparent purple humanoid object flew out of it, rushing towards the Gamboji man who was facing him, and collided with the man, ah, the Gamboji man screamed and fell to the ground, the transparent purple humanoid object quickly broke away from contact with the man, and flew back into the skeleton's mouth
The man's soul is received by me, the strange man gently crutches the ground with his magic wand, and a white transparent object floats from the man's body, and the strange man raises the magic wand, and the white transparent object is unwillingly sucked into the skeleton's mouth, and the strange man puts down the staff, and the skeleton's mouth closes
He, he, he's a necromancer, he sucked the soul of Felegotai away, and the slightest insight among the Gamboki present shouted in horror that his words caused a stir among the nearby Gamboke
You will be the same strange man as he said, at the same time, he raised his magic wand, the skull's mouth opened again, and a dozen transparent purple humanoid objects flew out, respectively one by one, hitting the same number of Gamboki and other transparent purple humanoid objects as they were, and after leaving, those Gambokes who came into contact with them collapsed to the ground one by one like deflated balls, and then from these fallen crowds, more than a dozen white transparent objects rose up, which were quickly absorbed by the skeletons on the magic wand
Run, the still alive Gamboki abandoned the caravan they relied on for survival, and scrambled to the back of the convoy, and the strange man unleashed more than forty transparent purple humanoid objects......
In just two minutes, more than 400 Gamboki people have been murdered
Stop, Necromancer, why are you slaughtering us, the Gamboki, with an old but loud voice, shouting to stop the atrocities of the weirdos
The strange man looked at the hunchbacked old man in front of him who was asking, and couldn't help but smile a little dumbly: Hehe, aren't you Gambokians used to being slaughtered, rather than letting you be slaughtered by others and wasted in vain, it is better to use it to enrich my Vladimir's army of resentful spirits or increase the number of skeleton legions, and the strange man cast hundreds of transparent purple humanoid objects and rushed towards the patriarch and the other Gambokes surrounding him
Those white transparent objects that rise from human bodies are ordinary human souls, and the transparent purple humanoid objects spit out of the skull's mouth on the magic wand are terrible resentful spirits, which are formed after the death of human beings with great resentment, and the magic used by the necromancer Vladimir just now is that the souls of the living people are directly extracted with resentful spirits, and then hidden in a special container, so that the souls continue to accept resentment and become new resentful spirits, and then go to hunt more souls
At this moment, several beams of light suddenly shot out from the gorgeous caravan, forming a barrier of light in front of the patriarch and the Gamboji people beside him, and the dozen or so resentful spirits in front of him slammed their heads into the barrier and let out a howl of pain, and the purple on the bodies of the dozen resentful spirits instantly receded, turning back into white, and ordinary souls rose into the sky
What is going on, Vladimir hurriedly retracted the remaining 80 or so resentful spirits that did not hit the light barrier, and said in surprise
As long as there is light, all darkness can be dispelled, Vladimir, your little trick does not work, at this time, from the gorgeous caravan came out, a young and sweet female voice curtain was opened, a young woman walked down with Yingying steps, the woman was wearing a pure white priest's robe, her head was covered by the rain hood of the priest's robe, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and the golden section point around her waist was also tied with a golden yellow belt, and a bow belt was tied on one side of her body, which just bound her beautiful little waist, so that the wide priest's robe could not hide her slender figure, the woman's slender jade hand carried a short iron chain, and at the other end of the chain hung a silver cross, which exuded warmthwhite light
Vladimir was quite surprised by the appearance of the Priest of Light, but he only wanted to clear the obstacle in front of him as much as he could, and he didn't want to be dragged into a protracted battle with the Priest of Light, because history told him that the longer the battle between the necromancer and the Priest of Light dragged on, the less chance of victory
Hundreds of resentful spirits crashed into the woman from all directions, and the purple color of these resentful spirits was much deeper than the one released just now, indicating that the resentment of these resentful spirits was also deeper, of course, and more terrifying, and the little girl watched carefully, and the woman did not dodge or hide, and the patriarch shouted out worriedly
The woman chanted a magic spell quickly, and at the moment when the resentful spirit was about to touch her, the woman suddenly put the cross in her hand into the sky, and saw a pillar of light with a diameter of one meter through the thick black curtain, shooting directly from the sky, enveloping the woman's body in it, and the resentful spirits that hit the pillar of light all howled in pain, seeing that the sneak attack missed, Vladimir was about to recover the resentful spirit, but it was too late, and the diameter of the pillar of light suddenly increased several times, enveloping the patriarch next to him and the Gamboki people around the patriarch, of course, the hundreds of dark purple resentful spirits who did not have time to escape were also surrounded in the pillar of light......
The pillar of light faded away, and the woman and the Gamboki were unharmed, but the dark purple wraiths had vanished without a trace
You...... What did you just do Seeing that the resentful spirits you had worked so hard to collect were destroyed in an instant, Vladimir trembled with anger
It's nothing, it's just to get rid of the resentment, and then transcend these poor souls who will be manipulated by you after death, and the woman said lightly
Who the hell are you, Vladimir yelled
Sophia said her name and took off her rain hood to reveal her beautiful long blond hair, the woman was at most about 18-19 years old, with delicate features and beautiful appearance, bathed in the holy light of the cross, exuding a kind of holy nobility
Hmph, the milky little Nizi is looking for death, hearing that the woman did not say the name of the senior priest on Olopa, who frightened him, and the woman's appearance was too young, Vladimir raised a love of contempt for the enemy, although he had lost two rounds just now, he thought it was just because of the attributes
Vladimir held his magic wand aloft and silently chanted a spell, and a dark energy quickly condensed around the skeleton
It's really sad, haven't you noticed the difference in strength between us, Sophia shook her head and said, while she was also chanting a spell, and the light of the silver cross became brighter and brighter
You go die, Vladimir's incantation was finished, he pointed the tip of his magic wand at Sophia, and the black magic energy that had just been condensed rushed towards Sophia, accumulating corpse qi - this is the name of the magic he used, which is a rare direct attack spell in dark magic
With a whin, the corpse qi instantly surrounded Sophia's body, turning into a huge black mist, emitting a terrible and terrifying howl, and when the black mist dissipated, Sophia had disappeared
Not a little girl...... The patriarch was grieved and indignant, and the sacrifice of a weak girl to save his people made the patriarch feel quite ashamed
Hahahaha, don't think you can do it, let the 'corpse qi' decompose all your and your soul, looking at the place where Sophia disappeared, Vladimir laughed wildly, and then he turned to the patriarch and the others, now it's your turn, obediently become a resentful spirit or skeleton soldier, and as he spoke, he raised his magic wand to the patriarch and the others
It seems that you don't know what the 'disparity in strength' is, and the voice of Sophia, who was supposed to die, sounded again, and both Vladimir and the patriarch were extremely surprised
I saw that the figure of a young woman gradually emerged and quickly materialized in the place where Sophia had disappeared, and soon Sophia reappeared in front of everyone, unharmed, but the light on the cross in her hand had all disappeared
It is impossible that you have already died under the 'corpse qi', Vladimir looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief
I said you were very pathetic, and your 'corpse qi' couldn't hurt me at all, and Sophia said lightly
The abominable Vladimir raised his wand and was about to chant a spell to attack
Don't waste your time, haven't you noticed that the victory and defeat between us have been divided, and Sophia smiled politely
What do you say, Vladimir only then noticed a few cracks in the skeleton at the tip of his magic wand, and he shouted in surprise
The rift quickly lengthened and expanded, and with a snap, the skeleton shattered into several pieces and scattered on the ground, thousands of wraiths floated out of the skeleton's wreckage, the purple color of the wraiths quickly receded into white, and ordinary souls rose into the air, and more than 400 souls pounced on the Gamboke, who had lost their souls on the ground, and returned to their respective bodies
You...... Vladimir threw away his useless oak staff, stretched out his dry finger and pointed at Sophia, I won't just forget it, Sophia, you remember, I will definitely find you to settle this account, and as he spoke, Vladimir twisted a ring on his middle finger, and a magic ball of light surrounded his whole body
Not good, the spatial teleportation ring, Sophia immediately rushed to Vladimir, but the necromancer had disappeared without a trace, and the young priestess shook her head, sighed softly, and let him escape
At this time, the dark curtain covering the sky gradually dissipated, and the sunny scenery appeared in front of the Gamboki people again, and under the effect of the sun, the Gamboke, who had just been pulled out of their souls by the resentful spirits, woke up one after another, their bodies were still very fragile, and they slowly stood up with the support of their companions.
