88 Exorcise the tiger and devour the wolf
The Tower Daily is one of the more authoritative local newspapers in Turin, and they once made a valid statistics, as of April 1835 in the new calendar, buried in the Oliver Hill Cemetery outside Turin, a total of 109343 people with names and surnames.
The burial area where the nobles were concentrated was not here, and the people buried in the cemetery here basically belonged to the common people who were able to afford to buy a cemetery in Dulin.
And if you count the many poor people who have no money to buy a cemetery, but because they can't find a suitable place, they secretly dig pits around the area, then this number is at least doubled.
Of course, it is unlikely that the corpses that have been shattered into sparse pieces because of their age are not likely to be affected, or even if they are affected, it will be difficult for such bones to climb up from the ground, but even so, even if this number is still calculated according to 100,000, what kind of scene will occur when the night is shrouded and the wind of death blows?
The subtle percussion sound is buried in the soil, and the sound is not obvious when you listen to it alone, but when more than 100,000 percussions are mixed together, no one can ignore the momentum!
In the cemetery, the earth rumbled like a drum, and the sound continued like a torrential rain hitting the ground, and the strange cold wind penetrated the surface, and in the dark place that ordinary people could not see, the dead who should have fallen into eternal sleep rose up frantically, struggling and roaring in the dark confinement.
The smell of death grew in the night and quickly spread, and under the countless knocks, it was not these crazy and oppressive coffins that were first exposed, but because of poverty, they were hastily buried in the land around the cemetery, without coffins and without iron fences to protect the nameless lonely graves.
Countless monstrous hands with carrion or completely dry bones broke free from the green grassy earth, countless climbing maggot heads struggled to get out of the ground, stale hair mixed with damp earth, and bundles of hollow eyes stared at the sky and black clouds.
When the ability of the Charles Necromancer was promoted, he consciously thought about the effect of reviving the dead without the need for a soul, and what kind of effect this characteristic would appear when used - his recovery will have no restrictions, and the target, whether he is newly dead or premature, will be shrouded in darkness and will be awakened by the night.
So none of this came as he expected.
However, when he really let go of his hands and feet to use this ability in this suitable place, he realized that he was still thinking a little too simple.
No soul is needed, resuscitative entity.
So may this resurgence be limited to human beings?
Apparently not.
And so with the sound of percussion, with many broken corpses, and with far more non-humans than human dead!
Bugs, dead birds, pet cats, all kinds of animals, as far as the eye can see, there is no place that is not occupied by death!
Under the black clouds, countless inconspicuous existences that were usually like dust and had never been noticed by anyone had broken away from the realm of death at this moment, and their limbs struggled and swayed, gathering together.
Visible to the naked eye, the stone brick road leading to the depths of the cemetery, which should have been gray, was quickly "dyed" a layer of black, and rapidly expanded between wriggling.
There are so many of those things that a normal person would probably be scared to his scalp if he saw this here.
However, there are no normal people in Mount Oliver Cemetery at the moment, and even the real grave keepers who usually guard this place have been dispersed by the church in advance.
At this moment, those at the entrance of the cemetery are more abnormal than the other.
But even the elders of the church who had been in battle for a long time and even had a lot of knowledge had to be shocked by this huge death magic that covered the sky and the sun.
Despite his rich memory, Charles himself has very few spellcasters, so he never thinks how powerful his talent is, and sometimes he feels that this ability is just a cool trick, and the real effect is not very good.
However, when he thought about it, Charles subconsciously ignored that even if it was the first level of a necromancer, the effect of the ancient god as a stepping stone was by no means normal, and even rare necromancer could compare.
Resurrecting more than 100,000 dead corpses at the same time, no one can do it except for a limited number of necromantic masters!
Therefore, the battlefield that should be-for-tat and precarious is inexplicably slowing down at this moment.
Whether it was the bald man who was tightly surrounded, or the eight church knights who besieged him, their movements unconsciously slowed down a lot because of this.
Although Zachary, who maintained the cage, closed his eyes, his eyelids were constantly beating, and the old man who was "watching the play" with his hands behind his back leisurely and leisurely, and half of his head was bloody, also subconsciously let go of his hands behind his back.
Charles, the spellcaster, was the least concerned, and he only glanced at the cemetery at the beginning, as if it was not a spell he had unleashed, and looked down at the battlefield again.
He was ready to save people.
But if he doesn't want to do anything, it's impossible to directly intervene stupidly.
In fact, in this case, it is relatively simple to save people.
There is nothing else, Charles only needs to freeze Brother Zachary who maintains the spell, then the trapped four people will naturally get out of the trap, and the current situation is basically solvable.
This is actually very easy, the reason why the spell of sacrificial cage has the word sacrifice is because during the maintenance of the spell, the caster is defenseless, and the strength of the spirit body of Charles at this time has exceeded the opponent......
However, this is what the seekers want, but it is not what Charles really wants to do.
The promised reward seemed to him to be complete, Charles didn't know him at all, and after they fled, there was nowhere to go to these people himself.
So if you want to know something from them, you can only take advantage of this opportunity now.
This involves another problem, he wants to get information from these sons of the gods, but these people are not question and answer machines, they will answer whatever you ask, the two sides don't know each other, maybe after saving people, they will turn their faces and deny people.
Charles would not be stupid enough to think that these people are really his own people, who are also children of the gods.
So, how can you get the benefits you need in this kind of situation?
Drive the tiger and devour the wolf, fish in troubled waters, and use strength to fight, and the fisherman profits......
Many idioms in my hometown are very concise and concise, and they are also quite referential.
So Charles was ready to do it.
There is a certain risk in this,
But what is there to do without risk?
So while the people at the cemetery gate were being distracted by the resurgence of the large number of necromancers, Charles had already taken action.
In the night, the young man's dark eyes, which were still quite dim, turned into a magnificent blue in the blink of an eye, and he looked at the battlefield a few hundred meters away through the gap in the green shade of the branches, and his gaze was directly fixed on the eight knights besieging the bald man.
The heart moved at will, and the cold power ignored the leaves that blocked the view from the corner of the eye, ignored the grass and air separated from the old oak tree and the battlefield under his feet, and directly acted on the existence of the eight tanks that were full of divine light and like eight incandescent lamps!
Damage sharing, continuous healing, counter-damage, and being as hard as iron all add up to each other, and in addition to having the powerful power to completely crush them to death in an instant, there is one more way to crack it - sufficient group damage.
And Charr's eyes are such a unique attack.
So the knights who had just been distracted by the necromancy were inexplicably slowing down the pace of the siege at this moment.
A layer of ice ballast that was quite crystal clear under the white light of their bodies gradually emerged on the surface of their respective bodies, because of the spells on their bodies, the ice breeding seemed to be a little slow, but under the constant gaze, the effect was continuous and deepening!
The knights couldn't help but be stunned.
And the bald man who is the enemy, although he doesn't know why these people are like this, he also decisively seized this rare opportunity!
So when the enemy's movements became slower and slower, the bald man suddenly burst out.
He roared, his whole body converging on his feet, and then kicked at one of his holy shields!
Boom ——!
The dull sound of the clash of forces clearly reached the ears of Charles in the distance, and the knight, who should have been indestructible, was directly overturned by the person he kicked on his back!
Seeing this, the other knights around wanted to step forward to make up for the loophole, but the freezing of their bodies and minds caused a serious flaw in their pace and rhythm!
So they could only watch as the bald man broke away from the encirclement of the eight shields and ran fiercely towards the old man who was about to recover his whole church!
Seeing this, the old man, who had just looked calm, was a little flustered, but before he had any time to react, this strong melee had already descended in front of him.
A storm struck!
……
The caster never ends well when they are close to a warrior.
Looking at the scene of the old man being violently attacked, beaten and scattered, but still unable to die, Charles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This is where the biggest risk lies.
Although he felt that if he could break free from the siege if he was on the scene, he would first go and deal with the strongest man with strange means, so as to prevent him from hindering his escape.
But this does not rule out the fact that the Great Han is in a hurry to save his companions, and instead finds Brother Zachary, who maintains the imprisoning spell.
If he did, then whether they could escape or turn the tide was not what Charles wanted
But now......
Seeing that the old man was beaten and had no power to fight back, and his body was bits and pieces with a miserable appearance, Charles blinked unconsciously.
As a result, the cold force that hindered and froze the eight knights on the scene quietly dissipated.
