Chapter 342: Flowing Blood
"Hey, young master, look over there. Mia watched the battlefield from a distance in the alley, and because of the position, she didn't aim at the center of the battlefield like Adès, but slightly sideways, which made her notice.
"Is this the Merchant Guard?" Ades looked in the direction she indicated for the Maid Chief's reminder, and a group of warriors in various costumes were gathering, and it was clear from the insignia on the equipment that it was a team composed of multiple merchant guards.
"These people are really of the same mind as the Storm Lord's Temple. Evis mocked behind her back, she had been recruited by the merchants of Ambo Harbor before, before she knew Adès, and she knew the squalor of this group of people.
"I guess I can't stand being squeezed by the merchants of Black Iron during this time, and I have to find a big backer, right?" Mia gloated, among the merchants of Black Iron Port, the eldest sister was Molly, followed by Ades, and she was completely justified in mocking the behavior of this group of Ambo merchants.
"You occupy this gap, you must attack it, Lord Deacon has reached an agreement with the leader of your Chamber of Commerce, the bounty is exactly the same as the adventurer team, and after victory, the Chamber of Commerce will also have dividends. "The priest is already familiar with this set of lure rhetoric, and his skills in negotiation and deception are completely worthwhile.
Three gaps, one adventurer team, one soldier and part of the temple's people, and now plus the merchant escort team, each has a clear division of labor, whoever can break through will have a bounty, and the priest can be regarded as a talent in terms of organizational ability.
The battle continued, and the walls on this side of the Storm Temple were already filled with wounded, blood flowing all over the ground. Some low-ranking clergy are bandaging and first aiding the wounded, and the combat power can save one by one. The wounded who had recovered from the city immediately rushed up to the wall again and continued the fight.
The shouts and fighting sounds of the entire dock area were endless. The more the patriarch next to the berth looked at it, the more wrong it felt, why were there more and more people on the other side?
However, he didn't dare to use powerful skills, so he always had to keep one hand, lest the other party suddenly have the ability to resist when he suddenly lifted the table.
In fact, both sides are in this state of mind now, and the deacon's side also does not dare to fully display the magic of today's memory, because he is afraid that the patriarch's side will flip the table.
Everyone doesn't use divine arts, so they can only defend or attack in close proximity, and there are many people on the side of the temple, and there is no support from high-level divine arts. The Patriarch's side is a little weak, after all, there are few people.
"Up, up, don't stop, they won't be able to hold on!" the priest had been cheering on the warriors in the back, and he had also noticed a change in the battlefield, with fewer wounded or dead.
Seeing that the knight on his side seemed to be struggling, the patriarch took out a wooden cylinder from his bosom, unscrewed it, poured out a black scorpion, and recited the mantra. A divine light slowly lit up in his hand, and he threw the scorpion into the gap on the side of the merchant guard, and the magic was completed at the same time.
As soon as the scorpion touched the ground, it began to grow rapidly in size, and in a few breaths. The body grew to be half a man's height, and the crochet needle at the tail was raised high enough to be as tall as a horse's head.
Scorpions move very fast. As one side of the body grows, the lower limbs of the abdomen keep crawling forward. The body grows, and it comes to the gap.
"This. This...... What kind of monster is this!" On the side of the wall thinking about the Patriarch, a knight had already seen the Patriarch's spell and knew that this big scorpion was actually the "Giant Insect Technique" in the fourth-order divine art, which could turn spiders, scorpions, and centipedes into huge insects.
But the merchant guards outside the wall didn't know that when a certain warrior stretched out half of his body and wanted to attack the knight inside the wall, he was pricked by the scorpion's tail hook, and his whole body was poisoned and paralyzed, and he howled out in horror before being dragged over by the knight to kill him.
With one more helper, the knights immediately redistributed the team, and the merchant guards could reduce their personnel a little bit, allowing these people to go to other gaps to reinforce, and the warriors on the merchant guard's side also heard the reminder of their companions before they died, and knew that there were unknown monsters behind the wall, and the frequency of attacks slowly decreased.
"The corpse moved a little away, and some of them couldn't be used. At this moment, someone in the merchant escort spoke loudly behind him, and motioned for the nearby people to move their dead companion farther away.
Some of the more low-level fighters in the team were kicked out, and they carried away the corpses that were already piled up in the backfield, so as not to hinder the attack of the fighters in the three gaps.
In a shop on the edge of the dock, the masked girl was standing on the window watching the battle happen, and when she saw the corpses being moved and blood flowing all over the battlefield, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she slowly completed an arc.
"The smell of blood is so strong that you can smell it here. In the alley, Evis covered her nose and complained to Adès in front of her.
"A lot of people died, most of them the soldiers who were helping to defend the city. Mia was a little ahead of Evice, and could see the edge of the battlefield, so she turned around to tell Evice the reason for the smell of blood.
"There were a lot of deaths, and I noticed that there were at least a hundred of them, and ninety percent of them were ordinary soldiers. Adès also turned back to the two followers.
When everyone was not paying attention, the merchant escort who ran out to carry the corpses inadvertently put the corpses of those warriors with professional rank in a specific position, and if someone could look down from the air, the position of these corpses was a bit like the node of some kind of magic array.
All the corpses were moved backwards and did not leave the dock, and the deacon and the priest could understand, after all, it was really difficult to move so many corpses without tools.
And neither the merchant escort nor the adventurer team want these corpses to disappear in front of their eyes, after all, if the battle is over, these dead people can also get rewards, if there are a few less in the middle, the loss is a few hundred gold coins.
When a certain corpse was placed, the warrior who carried it shook it sharply, as if to relax the fatigue of carrying the corpse, and at this time, at the edge of the dock, the masked girl in the shop moved.
She held a wooden carving in one hand and muttered words in her mouth.
On the dock covered with blood, there was also a wood carving in the arms of a certain corpse, which began to shine gradually.
Everyone's attention was on the wall, and neither the deacon nor the patriarch paid any attention to the corpses and blood on the ground.
Ades, who extended his divine thoughts to the battlefield, felt a little uneasy, and the blood on the ground seemed to be really flowing slowly......?
