『Chapter error, click here to report』
The crew was woken up by a piercing horn, this is the army transport ship with complete marine equipment, even the artillery can be reinstalled in a short time.
The Sindar Empire has one of the world's greatest maritime powers, depending on their special management and training skills, knowing that the pirates who once roamed the world's seas were not so easy to defeat.
Lias was awakened from her sleep, just like last time by the soldiers in the cabin to remind herself, only this time she didn't feel the wind and waves.
"What's going on?"
"General, it's an attack, the fleet has received an attack from outside, and we all have to go to the deck. Nikos said, standing in the doorway. During this time, she seemed to have grown well, and began to learn how to manage the army, and it worked well.
Lias was thinking about introducing her to a position in the military department when she returned, and of course Lucia was too.
Walking out of the doorway, Nicos and Lucia were already standing outside waiting.
"What kind of attack has the fleet received, this is a town. "A town sandwiched between the river basins of several countries is usually not attacked by any country alone, because that represents aggression, as long as the subject country has an extra piece of land, even a city is a threat to the country, so Xiushui Town can be safe and sound in the long river of history.
"I don't know yet, everyone has gone up, let's go up too...... What about Cam?" Lucia said and looked into Lias's room, but there was no sign of Cam, not even the female elf, the girl didn't always like to follow between the two.
"He's got something to do!" Lias had long thought that Cam might go out, and suddenly realized the attack outside.
"Let's go out and have a look. ”
The three of them followed the escort soldiers out of the cabin, there were already quite a few people standing on the deck, the ship was large enough, and there were not many soldiers left, and the two transport ships looked and spacious.
"Archbishop, who attacked us. ”
When I walked to the deck, I was greeted by the archbishop and the paladin Acala.
Behind him, there was a loud noise from the roof of the ship, like spitting.
"Worry about the back!" Akara said, striking the sword down, and a ghoul who had climbed up from nowhere collapsed on the ship.
The head just fell, thumping on the deck.
In several battles, Lias and Lucia have seen many dead people, and they do not feel uncomfortable...... But if it's disgusting, it's a different story.
The skull emitted a stench of rotting flesh, the flesh on the head had rotted, the little bit of flesh left by the tooth bones was clearly visible, and there were maggots, probably from the river just now, many insects drilled deep into the flesh holes, and did not jump out until they were smashed down.
"What is this!"
"Ghouls, it's the ghouls who attack us. Archbishop Benedictas said.
"There are also sides where they came from the city. At this moment the soldiers on the ship shouted loudly, and all the torches around them were lit, illuminating the entire ship, and the archbishop, fearing that something would be missed, even released his own beast, and the light of the holy light creature was even brighter in the night.
"Guard all the places to prevent them from climbing up again, the artillery is aimed at the place where there are the most draugls in the distance, and if anyone is scratched, be sure to tell me as soon as possible, only the Holy Light can heal the wounds of corruption. Benedictas commanded.
Lias and Lucia also drew their weapons and walked to the bow of the ship.
In the distance, ghouls kept coming as far as the firelight could see, they seemed to be not very mobile, they walked very slowly, most of them naked, the flesh on their bodies was rotten like the one they had just died, and a few of them were wearing gray-black robes.
"...... they wear"
"Well, it's a lot like the people in the town, or maybe they're supposed to be the citizens of the town, remember when we entered the city later, we didn't see many people along the way, it seems like they've all become like this...... What about Lord of the Forest?" and Akara both noticed that the squirrel that had been following Lias was gone, and that the elven girl was gone.
"They went somewhere else. ”
At this time, in the distance of the fleet, in the sky above the city, the light of a full moon suddenly appeared, and immediately turned into daylight.
This kind of magic has been seen by everyone except the sailors of the Sindal Empire, it is so unique that there is only one person in the world who can find someone to release this magic......
..................
Wang Chu knocked the death knight off his horse, and only the helmet was left on the other party's body.
Anwenna's bow and arrow actually have the ability to imprison, and the three magic arrows rain around it to form a magic array, which can actually trap the other party for a short time, because it was used once before, although it was also trapped, but the effect disappeared after being scattered.
Wang Chu pinched the helmet, and the green fireworks now looked like matches about to be extinguished, and they were estimated to be extinguished with a slight blow.
"Why? I can't do it before, but I still have a lot of magic that I haven't used, do you want to try it again...... Hmph, now it's time to answer my question. Wang Chu looked at the other party with contempt, judging from the fact that every time he attacked the other party in the resurrection, its flames were getting smaller, this time it shouldn't be enough.
Judging from the previous encounter with the Headless Horseman, the other party used the life of the entire city to improve himself, and the person in front of him is estimated to have used the town.
"Say, what is the purpose of your coming here, and who made you here? ”
Wang Chu has always wanted to find out the true purpose of the Midnight Children, and he had doubts as early as when Hajar City happened, and later the Great Elf King told him, but he only said the reason for the attack on Hajar City and did not investigate the real purpose behind it.
"Hehe, do you think you've won...... You think you can win death? You defeated me, but you can't beat death. Look around you, the human beings who are rushing to die, their desires and bodies will continue to nourish us...... Will be back, we will be back. ”
The square resounded with the arrogant laughter of each other.
A beam of light fell, and Wang Chu used his magic on the other party for the last time, and as the green flame disappeared, the ruined church square changed back to its previous dark appearance.
"Great Teacher, is it really dead this time?"
"It should be, there is no life left to absorb, just now we exchanged the people who are still alive in the city for its death. Wang Chu said, those wooden plaques engraved with inscriptions should be some kind of contract, the contract signed by the people of the city to the immortal spirit, in exchange for their own life force for a moment of survival for their family, and it is also the source of the death knight's ability to continuously recover his body.
Now he is completely dead, which means that there are no living people left in the city.
Looking at An Wenna's expression that seemed to understand or not, Wang Chu patted her shoulder.
"It's okay, I'll talk to you slowly when I go back. ”
At this time, several holy light spells appeared in the direction of the fleet.
"It looks like something happened to our ship. ”
"That's Holy Light magic, rest assured, Benedictas has enough strength to solve these problems. Wang Chu looked at the ground of the square to see what other valuable information could be found.
