24. In times of crisis
"Bang!" the musket erupted, and a huge buckshot hit one of the undead in the head, shattering its entire skull to the ground.
"Captain, there are more and more undead!we won't last long!" A warrior with a shield was suddenly knocked on by a hand outstretched from his feet, and then several undead pounced, but fortunately his companions came to the aid in time, and he was only bitten in multiple parts of his body.
"Hold on a little longer!The mayor should be bringing reinforcements soon!" The paladin, who was the leader of the team, released a holy light on the bitten warrior, and now he didn't have time to give him detailed treatment, so he could only make do with it first, but it was enough to stop most of the bleeding, and the treated warrior was in the front row again.
The quality of the undead resurrected in the cemetery is uneven, some people have been weathered and very fragile due to the long time they have been dead, but even if they are weak, as long as the number is enough, they can bite the elephant to death, in the past few thousand years of human beings, there are far more dead than alive, and there are basically coffins that can be buried in the cemetery, which will preserve the corpse to the greatest extent.
"Roar, roar, roar, vomit~~~" A warrior broke the skull of an undead, this undead is relatively fresh, and the broken brains are splashed everywhere, and it just so happens that the comrades next to him like to roar during the battle, but the brains splashed into his mouth, and there seems to be a maggot inside.
This was so disgusting that the warrior immediately vomited, so there was a hole in his defense, and several undead swooped up and threw him to the ground, biting at him, and this time because there were too many undead, no one could pull out their hands to help, and the captain didn't have much holy light energy left, and people could only watch him being bitten to death.
"Damn! That dark wizard must be killed! or reinforcements will not be able to do it!" "It would be nice to have a few hundred guys in a town worthy of reinforcements at this time.
Of course, the captain knew this, but there were only two high-level classes in his team, him and the dwarven hunter, and the others were all warriors with only melee ability, so how easy was it for him to kill that mage in the sea of the undead?
"Moel, can you snipe him!?" he shouted to the dwarf.
"He's too far away! The dwarf said this, and then quickly changed his firearms, firearms are not good, although its power is great, but the filling speed is very slow, and beyond a certain distance the head is not as reliable as a bow and arrow, but as a dwarf he is not used to the bow, not that he can't use it, but his small short hand is not suitable for drawing a long bow, and the killing efficiency of the short bow is not as good as that of a musket.
After changing the bullets, the dwarf suddenly held his breath and stared at the dark wizard with all his attention, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, and a falcon flew down and pecked the dark wizard's head, which interrupted the dark wizard's spell, he angrily waved his staff to drive away the bird, but it didn't hit anyone, and his arm was scratched by his claws and bloodied, at the same time, the dwarf had already finished aiming, and he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!", one of the undead next to the dark wizard shattered to the ground, which frightened the dark wizard, he no longer cared about the falcon, and quickly lowered the cat to hide under the protection of the undead minions.
"Damn! I'm going to have the money to buy a better musket, it's going to kill him just now!" the dwarf scolded, scolding indignantly.
"Nima, didn't you spend most of your money to buy wine and drink when you got paid!? I also persuaded you, and now you have finally tasted the bitter fruit!"
"This ...... Well, alcohol is my hobby, and you're not the same as gambling. ”
"But I didn't delay my business!"
They were arguing and defending at the same time, and at this time, a large number of footsteps were finally heard behind them, and it was the mayor's reinforcements coming!
The captain was overjoyed, he took the time to look back, his face sank suddenly, what kind of reinforcements were they, from seventy or eighty-year-old old men to thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, some with brooms, some with shovels for stir-frying, and there was not a decent weapon.
Are you a reinforcement for the living or a reinforcement for the dead?
"Are all your men dead!?" the captain yelled angrily.
"Most of the families with men have fled to the Silver Pine Forest with their families, leaving behind some helpless. The mayor replied with difficulty with the only decent sword, and he was out of breath after only two steps.
Yes...... Yes, this is almost the traditional way of dealing with disasters, why didn't I think of it!, the captain was extremely depressed.
"How are you going to fight this!? Why don't you take someone to Lordaeron and seek refuge in His Majesty!"
"But we won't be able to go far before we will be overtaken......"
"Then hide!" The captain was too lazy to talk to this fat man again, he was almost angry with him, he knew that they would run away in this way, and he really paid the sacrifice of a teammate in vain.
"Let the young men run, run into the forest, we old bones to give them time!" said an old man next to the mayor.
"Don't look at me like this, I was also a good adventurer when I was young!"
The battle lasted for a while, and those old people really gave experience, and after a while, they became enemies.
"Ah......h
The captain gave up completely, he ordered the team to fight and retreat in the face of the undead, wanting to take people to hide in the tavern, where there was no defense, but there was a cellar, using the cellar should be able to hold out for a while, the cellar could not provide shelter for everyone, the captain was now only thinking about how to protect his team, and the other townspeople no longer thought about it.
The mayor said that he had sent the only remaining horse in the village to Lordaeron to report the news, and that the king's reinforcements should arrive in half a day, given the distance from Brill to Lordaeron.
He thought he should be able to hold on for half a day, but his mission was a complete failure, and he ignored the civilians, and the reputation of his team would be ruined, and maybe the church would strip him of his power to use the Light, damn it!
If only he could kill the dark wizard, if he could stop him from continuing to resurrect the dead, maybe there would be a fight in this battle, the captain looked back at the dwarf hunter who had begun to fight with the undead with a musket and bayonet, and he didn't know what to scold him for, feeling the ominous gaze, the dwarf shrunk his neck aggrievedly.
"Huh?"
However, just as they had begun to retreat, a giant eagle appeared in the sky, the second large bird besides the dwarven animal companion, and this bird was much larger than the falcon.
Its agile eyes swept the battlefield below, and after a few eye rolls, it turned the bird's head directly and pounced on the dark wizard.
The dark wizard who had begun to be vigilant in the sky was now obedient, and when he cast the spell, he ordered the undead to keep an eye on the heavens, so he spotted the bird for the first time.
Oh my god! This bird is much bigger than the one just now! This thing is not counting wings, it can be more than a meter tall just by standing, and it looks like it can be brought up and flying by grabbing sheep and dogs.
The dark wizard decisively gave up casting the spell, and quickly squatted down to hide at the feet of the undead, the undead are not afraid of death, as long as the bird dares to pounce down, they will fight back wildly, as long as it catches it and presses it on the ground, no matter how big or small you are, they will all bite to death.
However, after waiting for a while, the dark wizard who squatted down and hugged his head did not feel any wind, the bird seemed to retreat in difficulty, and he was about to look up, when his eyes were suddenly covered with gold, and the surrounding undead fell to the ground with a wail, and then a figure fell from the sky and punched the dark wizard in the back of the head, knocking out his eyeballs.
