Chapter 22: On the Eve of the Decisive Battle

Do you dare to come back to see me and tell you that you can't do some small things, and an angry voice came from behind the iron black mask

Two gargoyles, one left and one right, grabbed Latik's shoulders and pulled her off the ground into the air, gargoyles' claws digging into her flesh

I told you to kill a little priest, and you actually hired some bounty hunter, I gave you so much dark magical power, is it all decoration, Buyos's voice almost roared

Listen to me, master...... The banshee caught in the air by the gargoyle defends herself, and Sophia is under light magic, and my screams don't work for her......

Fart, Buyos interrupted the banshee's self-justification without saying a word, and at the same time, the two stone statues shook hard, Latik fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, even if she was wearing light magic, it was impossible to bless herself all the time, you hid in the distance and let out a 'death wail', she would definitely die under your screams before you even had time to chant the spell, why didn't you do it, are you really worried that those 'innocent' Gamboki people will be implicated, Buyos deliberately accentuated the word innocent

The two gargoyles pounced on Latik and grabbed her in the air again

Listen, if you want to realize our necromancer's great plan to return to the continent, there will be no mercy, you can pity those Gamboki people who are not even as good as worms, wouldn't it be better that those Gamboki people are dead, our great plan requires a lot of corpses and souls to be realized, etc.-Buyos suddenly remembered something, gargoyles brought Laticla to the front of the Throne of Bones, since you set foot on the continent, you have never collected a corpse, a soul for me, can you say......

The gargoyle threw Latik into the air, and the banshee's body slammed to the ground with a thud, and although the corpse's body made her feel no pain, she clearly felt that she had broken several ribs

Could it be ...... You want to betray me, as if sensing the warden's rage, the phosphorus fire around him is stirring

Vladimir, who was standing next to him, relieved Latik: Master, please forgive Latik, how could she betray her master, Latik fought very hard, if I hadn't arrived in time, she would have died at the hands of the priestess and the bounty hunter

Vladimir, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this, the warden turned his anger to Vladimir, didn't I order you to find the Key of the Stars, why did you stay with Latik

Report: Venerable Master, Vladimir knelt down, I followed the resonance reaction of the Star Key to track down to Cangling Town, but I didn't expect to meet Latik who was defeated by a fierce enemy there, so I rescued her

What about the key to the stars, this is the main concern of Buyos

It was an emergency and I didn't have time to bring it back

What do you say, Buyos shouted this sentence with a roar

But I noticed a strange situation, there was more than one Star Key in the tavern at that time, and there were three of them with me, and Vladimir said that from the circumstances at the time, it was assumed that the person with the Star Key on her body might be the priestess Sophia and the bounty hunter next to her

The priestess and the bounty hunter are both holders of the Star Key, and it is interesting that Buyos carefully played with Vladimir's words, Vladimir, what are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and bring those two Star Keys back to me

Yes, sir

Take this too, a scroll floated up from behind Buyos and fell into Vladimir's hands, we still have a reserve zombie army, it was the corpses of orcs, humans, and elves collected from the battlefield of Shamania a few years ago, and the corpses have been sealed in another dimension, and the last battle with the Lich King didn't have time to summon it, so you can use it now

Thank you, master, and then Vladimir turned his spatial teleportation ring and vanished into thin air in this deserted town

At this time, Buyos noticed that when he spoke of the elf's corpse, Latik's body twitched, and Buyos controlled the gargoyle and brought Latik back to him

Hear me clearly, you died long ago in that war under the orc's axe, it was you who begged me to give you a new life, I not only brought you back to life, but also gave you more powerful dark magic, don't let me be sure that you have betrayed you, your life and power are mine, and I can take them back at any time

Latik opened her eyes, unable to see what her master was thinking from the airtight black mask, when the gargoyle threw her into the center of a magic circle of phosphorus fire, and a cloud of black gas surrounded Latik

After more than ten minutes passed, the black qi disappeared, and Latik stood up again from the magic circle

She noticed a long whip slowly rising from behind the throne of bones, and said to her: "I have cleared you of all the light that imprisoned dark magic in you, and now you can use that terrible 'death wail' again, bring this long whip to Viscount Gveva's castle, where Gliston gives it to Gliston, and then obey his command, remember that this is your last chance, don't let me down again."

What the hell do you want to do, let my son Viscount Gveeva stand on the tower, pointing at the people below, and shouting loudly in disappointment, only to see five people standing below, one of whom was tied tightly with hemp rope and sackcloth in his mouth

Yesterday another necromancer came and proposed to the prince to let the lords under his rule pretend to be the emperor's army to attack the Knights Templar in the territory of the Fayele Empire, provoking a conflict between the central church and the emperor Charlotte I, and the prince actually agreed to this absurd construction after careful consideration, although he knew that the risk of this practice was very huge, but he was only a local lord, since the lord agreed, he didn't dare to say anything, and then the prince asked him to immediately send the tribe in the castle to attack a small force of the Templar Order stationed in a small village in his territory, and the viscount was a little embarrassed about this task at first, after all, the other party was the Templar KnightsHis strength was unmatched by his private army, but when he received information that there were only 40 Templars in the village, the viscount's gloom and worry were overwhelmed, and he sent four times as many troops to encircle and suppress it, believing that such an army would ensure that nothing would go wrong, and in order to show loyalty to the Prince, he also made his second son the commander of this army, and if Davis could do a good job in this mission, he would have more political capital in the prince's future regime to increase his family's power

However, it backfired, and what the Viscount was waiting for was not his son's good news, but the evil consumption of the defeat, an army of more than 160 people was beaten to the ground by only 40 men, which was brought back by the remnants of the Viscount's expectations, and the more terrible news was that Davis was captured alive by the other side, for which the Viscount was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, because the Prince had already left for the next secret supporter, so the Viscount could not get any support from the Prince for the time being, and he had also asked the two necromancers who lived in the dungeon for help, but they only let him wait and see

Okay, wait and see...... Finally, the next step in the development of the matter came, but what happened next drove Viscount Gveeva crazy, and according to the soldiers who defended the city, four men escorted Davis to the door of the castle and asked to see the viscount himself

Hmph, what do you want to do, you yourself know best, the one who speaks best is a middle-aged priest, he is wearing an archbishop's monk's uniform, Viscount Gveva, I see that your path has come to an end, sneaking up on the Templar Order, killing my Knights, sowing discord between the Central Church and your Emperor, colluding with necromancers, all of which are capital crimes, even if we let you go, your Emperor will not let you go

What did you say, colluding with necromancers in the crimes listed by the middle-aged priest just now, and I didn't even say how my son knew about it

Do you dare to deny it, a church knight standing next to the middle-aged pastor asked sharply

Shoot them with arrows, and the angry Viscount Gvey wants to kill people

With a wave of his hand, the two soldiers behind him pushed Davis, who was tied like a brown child, into the sackcloth-stuffed mouth of the second son of the Gveeva family, and made a groaning sound

Don't even let go of the arrow

......

Just as Mylek and Julian were attracting all the attention of Viscount Gweiva and his army, outside the castle, in a wooded area, another group was engaged in a covert operation: an unconscious maiden lying on a carriage around which five Knights Templar soldiers were nervously on guard, and a few steps ahead of them a chubby young mage was chanting a spell against a young warrior with a spear in hand, as if to bless him with some kind of magic

Brother, you are majoring in the water system, can you do it?

Qi magic isn't my forte, but it's still hard for me to have mid-level magic like 'flying magic'

But don't knock me off

Okay, leave it to my brother

Ray's body slowly rose into the air, and then slowly floated towards the castle tower, and the people on the castle tower were nervously confronting the enemies below, and they didn't notice the thunder that was coming in the wind

After witnessing Thunder arriving above the castle tower, Cassius canceled the control of the flying technique, and the prepared Thunder turned over and jumped down to sneak attack, which was very successful, and the soldiers defending the city did not expect to be attacked from above, the moment the thunder landed, four crossbowmen had already died under his spear, and the sudden enemy attack made the soldiers on the castle tower shocked, although there were as many as twenty or thirty of them, but all of them were crossbowmen, and such a close distance made the crossbows in their hands a waste

The viscount, who had just woken up from a dream, was startled, and he pointed to the spearman who had suddenly appeared on the tower, and shouted to the soldiers beside him in a changed tone

At the urging of the lord, the crossbowmen dropped their crossbows and drew the only melee weapon pinned to their waists: daggers, and rushed up to the long-wielding enemy, and the castle tower was in chaos

Julian looked at the chaotic castle tower and smiled and said to McLeck beside him: "Look, the strategy of the two brothers has worked

McLeck was silent, and although he didn't have a good opinion of the mages of the Snowy Federation (he had also participated in the Crusaders' war against the Snowy Federation ten years ago), it was undeniable that the four-line elemental magic was indeed very useful, and it could not be replaced by just practicing light magic

The dagger was no match for the spear, and after several rushes, the corpses of a dozen more soldiers lay on the tower, and at this time, the wielder of the spear, Ray, was aiming the spear at the throat of Viscount Gveva

No, no, don't kill me, in the face of the threat to my life, Viscount Gveeva trembled

It's easy to tell your men to lay down their weapons, and then open the gates and let my companions in, I promise not to kill you, and when you say this, the young man smiled, he ignored the soldiers who surrounded him, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and if the viscount dared to say a word again, he would not hesitate to send his spear forward a little bit

Do as he says, put down his weapon and open the city gates, and the Viscount is frightened

The soldiers obediently dropped the daggers in their hands, and two of them even turned around and ran towards the city gate, and Lei nodded with satisfaction, knowing that this lord who cherished his life would not give in

Suddenly, there was a feeling of extreme danger

Ray immediately jumped upwards and jumped out of the encirclement with a backflip, but just as he landed, a cloud of white gas enveloped the group of soldiers and lords who had surrounded Ray

What was going on, Ray clearly saw that the faces of the soldiers and Viscount Gveva who were affected by the white color were aging rapidly, and in just a few seconds, their skin had become shriveled and wrinkled, their hair had become pale, their nails and teeth were rapidly peeling off, and then one by one they fell to the ground and died of aging

I didn't expect you kid to be dead, didn't the dragon stay with you, when the last soldier fell, Ray saw the person talking to the other side, he was the necromancer with the skull in his hand - the curse master Raqilu

Wait, Raqilu, your 'Aging Curse' has been dodged by this kid, you can rest for a while, now it's my turn to play with him, and behind Raqilu came another necromancer, who held a one-handed short staff in his hand, and at the top was a gray orb held up by a white bone hand

At the same time, the banshee Latik grabbed the two gargoyles with both claws, and the two gargoyles were flying through the air and flying quickly into the range of the castle

It was also at this time that a man and a woman were riding two horses on the path of the forest south of the castle, and no one noticed that there was a small insect flying in front of them

Sophia's tulip bee slowed down, and the banshee was presumably ahead

Hurry up and don't let her run away.
