Chapter 176: Luring the Enemy
"It doesn't look like it's going to survive. Seaworth flipped through the dragon's head with his sword, and the monster was now left with a trace of free air.
"It looks like the story of this murder incident can probably be figured out. Robert then said.
They had just entered the ruined church behind them with Vane and examined it, and under the collapsed arched wall, they found a pool filled with black liquid, like a huge hatching pool or petri dish, and it seemed that the bald head was here to raise the 'Chaos People', first attracting the villagers through the sound of bells, and then submerging them in the black water to transform them into monsters.
Originally, they wanted to preserve this pool of black water so that the lords who came later could visit it, but after a while, all the black water that had lost its caretaker seeped into the ground and disappeared completely.
"The bald head kept ringing the bell in the basement of the church, not knowing what magic was used, causing the villagers to jump into the pool and turn into monsters when they heard the bell. As for the Baron Claude family, the reason why their castle was tightly blocked was to resist the bells and avoid the impact, but unfortunately they were still killed by the monsters that had mutated. ”
Robert made his inferences clearly, and the other two nodded their heads incessantly.
"Now, then, all we have to find out is who did all this, and the man who just looked at his tattoo was only a sacrifice of the Son of Immortality, and perhaps it could have been the commission of such an evil deed by their master?" added the well-informed Seaworth.
"Anyway, there's no more value to investigate here, and we're going to rush back to the camp and use the ravens to inform His Highness of everything that happened here, and he'll decide what happens next. This time it was Vane who spoke.
They lowered their heads after analyzing it, and the stubborn wyvern had not yet breathed.
"What to do? If we kill this dragon, it will turn into black water, and then how will we explain what we have seen to the others?" Robert asked the other two.
Seaworth stroked his beard and thought about it seriously, and finally decided to turn out this monster, "No, we can't risk this monster back again, according to the scale of the black pool just now, the people in the entire village have been alienated into monsters, and there will be more evidence in the future." ”
Vane nodded, and Robert slashed the wyvern's throat with his sword, and the massive creature dissolved into a puddle of black water once again with an astonishing speed.
As for why they didn't ask Stannis for his opinion, the lord was snorting and paralyzed on the ground.
After all, the mortal body is only a physical mortal, it is impossible to bear such an amazing power for the first time, and the evil consequences of summoning the power of the dragon king began to appear, and Stannis is now sore all over, and every bone seems to be crushed, and even moving his fingers can hurt to kill him.
"Oops~~Oops~~" Now Stannis can only let out a wail over and over again, this miserable moan makes people listen to it and want to take the sword and kill him.
After another round of exploration, they found that the monsters that had been remodeled by the church were heading south, because the muddy ground there had been trampled in a mess, and judging by the number of footprints, it was only a large army.
"Isn't that the direction of the village where we're camping!" exclaimed Robert, the current form was extremely dangerous, unlike an elite squad like theirs, those soldiers who had not much training would definitely mess themselves up when they were attacked by the Chaos Folk for the first time, and it would definitely be a massacre!
"We've got to get over and inform them!" Seaworth also realized the gravity of the situation and prepared to leave.
But they now have a big burden to pack and take away.
It's Stannis, who has been completely paralyzed on the ground......
There is indeed a price to be paid for a man to lift a dragon.
"Don't abandon me!" The traverser saw the change in the eyes of the three people opposite, especially his younger brother's ill-intentioned eyes, if they threw themselves into the wilderness, they would definitely not survive an afternoon.
However, these three guys were still a little human, they dismantled a door panel as a stretcher to carry Stannis up, and in the process, he let out a scream like a pig at the touch of a painful death, but he still did not forget to tell them to spread a quilt on the door panel, and cover the body with another quilt, even if they are in a hurry, to ensure maximum comfort.
After finally settling down the grumbling Stannis, Robert and Vane, the two unlucky ghosts he had appointed to carry the stretcher, hurriedly picked up the stretcher and hurried south, because they didn't know if the Chaos Folk army was rushing towards the expeditionary force, and now every second was a matter of life and death.
After a day and a night of trekking, the morning light pierced through the dark clouds and shone on the quilt only showing his forehead, their luck was good, they had not encountered heavy snow since yesterday, and the group of people who were racing against time hurried overnight in this fairly good weather, except for a two-hour meal and rest halfway, no one closed their eyes to rest, except for Stanis, of course.
Stannis was actually able to get off the stretcher a long time ago, and the soreness on his body had disappeared by midnight last night, but he felt that he had solved a two-legged wyvern no matter what he said, and it was still an enhanced version, and he should enjoy the privilege of not having to walk.
The stretcher bearer had no choice but to carry him along, and when they reached the original village, they found that the army that had been stationed there had long since disappeared.
When Stannis saw that the situation was wrong, he quickly jumped down from the door panel and shouted in surprise: "No, those bastards actually took a step ahead of us, and so many people were all killed!"
"Boss, it turns out that you could have acted a long time ago......"
"Now is not the time to worry about those little things, let's find out what happened!"
Before his words fell, a woodcutter came out of the side slowly, and he was also surprised to see this group.
"Yo, how many adults haven't left yet?"
Stennis hurriedly glanced at Robert, and the little brother who had already had a tacit understanding pounced on the peasant like a wolf and a tiger, picked him up and threatened: "Go, where is the army!"
The woodcutter farmer was directly frightened, and he stammered in the face of the menacing crowd, "I...... I'm just a firewood collector, how could I know about this kind of thing, but I heard that the old men in the army said that something unusual was detected in the east, so I hurriedly chased after it last night, and I have been walking for a long time!"
"What, east!" Stannis felt that something was wrong, judging from the traces on the ground, the army of monsters was obviously heading here, but why did the expeditionary force get the news that the enemy had appeared in the east?
