Sandru learned that his two groups of pursuers had been defeated by two inconspicuous heroes, but he didn't take it to heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info There are no suitable strongholds to develop on their escape routes. The castle deep into the hinterland of Dia is in their own hands, and they can't make much of a storm. If, within a week, they cannot find a foothold, the Grim Reaper Bellerion will visit them and send them to Hell with a scythe.

Let the Grim Reaper do such dirty work, there is no need to get your hands dirty. There are so many things to think about, not to mention that before he came to Dia, he had promised his teacher Eric that what he was going to do was to defeat Dia's necromancer Wilmar, not humans, and then convert all the undead towns into human castles.

Now that he had four sturdy necropolis castles in his hands, the dark clouds from the dark sky had almost covered most of Dia, but he had no plans to rebuild them. His own dream is to become the most powerful necromancer in history, so why should he rebuild the castle? If he does, he should convert all the castles of other races into necropolis castles.

He's comfortable being a necromancer, even though he's still human. After every battle, the corpses and blood of the fallen enemies will make their undead legions stronger because of their advanced spiritualism. It's a pity that he doesn't have the Cloak of the Ghost King, and from the pile of corpses can only crawl out of the bone warrior, not the terrifying Corpse Witch King.

Because he accidentally learned spiritualism when he was young, it made him cry for many days. His dream was to become a hero of the main battle, but now he has learned a garbage skill that has made him lose almost all of his ambitions and goals. But he now understands how terrifying and powerful this skill can be.

Now he has established himself in Dia, but his current path to expansion has been severely hampered. After eliminating several minor lords, he will have to face two powerful enemies, one is the necromancer Wilmar and the other is the human hero Duke Elares, neither of whom is a fuel-efficient lamp. It turned out that he had planned to develop northward, and after breaking through the northern checkpoint, he invaded the fertile land of Shengguang Island, but he didn't expect to gnaw a hard bone on the checkpoint and lose his troops. Since you can't go to the north, you can only turn around and pick an enemy from Wilmar and Elares.

His plan was to pull one first, then hit another. If you choose to form an alliance with Wilmar and the two armies attack the Duke of Elares together, the teacher Eric will definitely see his intentions and accuse himself of betraying him, not only will he lose his existing position, but he will also invite a strong enemy of Erathia.

Now is not the time to break with his teacher, he still needs Erathia as his strong backing. In that case, let's unite with Elares and continue to fight the undead. Nowadays, many lords and nobles of Erathia admired him as a great conqueror, and many even supported him to enter the royal privy council.

Vidnina coughed lightly, and Sandru recovered from his deep thoughts.

Vidrina is Sandru's proud disciple and one of his fierce generals. Seeing that Vidnika was still standing waiting for his instructions, he said, "Let the two heroes go with them, and leave him alone." Vidniana, I want you to go to Erry, find the forest elf Jenny, and ask her to collect the parts of the Spell Armor that have been scattered in Kalava, and I will buy it for a lot of money. ”

"Teacher, Jenny, will she go to Kalava? ”

"She'll go. The dwarven kingdom of Eli has been conquered by Fiona, and all she has left is a few small villages in the forest. With our support, she will be able to capture Kalava and rise again. She's a smart person, and I think she'll say yes. ”

"Where should I find the Ghost King's cloak?"

Sandru said: "The dwarven kingdom of Eli and the human kingdom of Erathia fought a war thirty years ago, if there were any parts of the ghost king's cloak in these two places, I think they were either lost in the Lost Lands or destroyed in the war. Now there is only hope for the wilderness. Once you arrive in Eri, find Jenny, and then go through the portal to the Lost Lands to inquire. If you don't have any news, go to the Wild Lands. If possible, nurture a surrogate by the way. ”

"But now the portal to the Lost Lands hasn't opened, and there's no way back if you go. ”

"I think it won't be long before the portal opens, and the stars in the sky speak for themselves. ”

"Yes, then I'll go. Vidnina said goodbye to Sandru.

Gu Shiyu with four cavalrymen has also begun to set off. There are only two days left before the seven-day limit, and no matter what, I have to find a base to settle down in today before I can continue the trial.

Walking to a valley, I suddenly heard a fierce battle ahead. One of the horsemen went at once to reconnoitre, and after a moment reported back: "It's the thieves again! They deliberately abandoned a wagon full of goods on the road, and then set up an ambush to lure others to rob them, and dozens of spearmen and swordsmen had already fallen into the ambush, and it looked like they were about to be exterminated." ”

"You mean the spearmen and swordsmen? They must be the defenders of the village, and there are no other troops in this area besides them. Now, let's kill them and lose both, and then we can easily take the village. The cavalry captain was overjoyed and said, "At dinner, we will eat mutton shabu and drink ale wine in the tavern of the village. ”

"Is it possible that the thieves were recruited by me?" asked Gu Shiyu.

"Unlikely. The thieves are Sandru's mercenaries, and Sandru is using them to destroy the remnants of hostile forces in the wilderness. ”

Mercenaries again? As long as you have money, you should be able to let this force join your camp. The mercenaries are loyal only to money, they will not value their promises, the problem is that Gu Shiyu has no money.

Hearing that these people were Sandru's troops, Gu Shiyu became angry in his heart. In the first two days of his arrival in Dia, he could have chased Sandru's people enough.

"Let's go, let's go and destroy those thieves!" Gu Shiyu ordered.

"Do you want to help the villagers?" asked the cavalry captain.

"Yes, if they can join us, we will have more chances of winning the level. ”

Then what else is there to say? Fight! Five fast horses rushed down the hillside, and immediately scattered the surrounding thieves, and then fell into a scuffle.

The cavalry attacking the infantry in the open was nothing short of a massacre. And Gu Shiyu is even more skilled, one person can be a few cavalrymen. Under the flanking fire of cavalry and infantry, the thieves were wiped out.

An old swordsman knelt in front of Gu Shiyu's horse, placed his long sword on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Thank you for saving us." If you don't mind that we're slowing you down, we're willing to swear allegiance to you. ”

The valley is raining happily. He hurriedly jumped off his horse, pretended to place the long sword in his hand on the old swordsman's shoulder, and said, "I am honored to accept your allegiance. I promise that I will not force you to do things that violate your conscience, and I promise that I will not lead you to a war that cannot be won. I will do my best to keep you safe, including your family. ”

The old swordsman stood up, bowed and said, "Now please follow me back to the village, it belongs to you now." ”

The treasures that thieves use to lure others are empty except for a chest of real gold coins. Despite this, almost two thousand gold coins were obtained.

This is a very small village, with an estimated population of only about 300 people, and the natural conditions are very harsh, and the materials are quite scarce. Despite this, guard towers, arrow towers, and barracks were built in the village to train and recruit soldiers to defend the village.

The old swordsman seems to be the head of this village, and he is quite loved by the villagers. He welcomed everyone into the village council. Gu Shiyu said: "Village chief, tell me about the situation of the village's combat readiness." ”

"Now there are more than forty archers, more than fifty pikemen, and more than ten swordsmen in the village. In another day, another batch of soldiers will graduate from the barracks. If Sandru had sent troops to attack, they would not have been enough to hold the village. ”

"Didn't you think of leaving this land and finding another home? Sandru would never allow you to live under his nose. ”

"We've thought about it, but where to go? To avoid Sandru, we have to go north. But there is a checkpoint guarded and we can't get through. ”

"Follow me, let's go to the level together. If you want to live, you must follow me to defeat it. ”

"We will follow you, even if you die in battle, you can die with hope in your heart, better than wandering and fearing here all day. You may need reinforcements, but in the valley not far behind the village, there is also a camp of Cyclops, who have allied themselves with us, and we are responsible for feeding them, and they will help us keep the village safe. ”

Gu Shiyu is asking for it. He said happily, "Then please go and inform them, and if they are willing to go north with us, please ask them to join my troops." ”

The people of the village got busy and began to pack their bags.

At dawn the next day, Gu Shiyu presided over the oath-taking ceremony of the graduated soldiers in the barracks, and then set off with a mighty procession.

On the way, four cyclops joined the troops, led by the stammering of the pursuers by the river for the rain in the valley. The stammering man was very happy when he saw Gu Shiyu, and said to his companions: "That Ying, the hero is my friend, friend, friend." He's also a knot, knot, knot, stammer, you all know, know, knot, knot, stammer, knot, knot ”

Gu Shiyu smiled at him, but he didn't dare to speak. He managed to correct his stutter, but he didn't want to be like him again.

Now he had four cavalrymen, four cyclops, and more than a hundred infantrymen. There are two or three hundred villagers at the back of the team, although they can't fight, they can also help do something, they can be regarded as logistics troops.

As they approached the level, several more young cavalrymen came from the cavalry camp to join the troops.

Gu Shiyu was very proud, riding on the horse and looking left and right, his spirit was flying. A day ago, he was alone, standing at the foot of the pass, begging the guards to raise their noble hands and let him pass. Now let you ignorant guards see your brother's strength, and I'm sure to scare you.

There's a guy at the bottom of the level right now, repeating yesterday's story, begging for the guards, isn't that Ressa with her little unicorn?

When Resa saw so many people coming from the side, she jumped up in fright and was about to flee the same way, but when she found Gu Shiyu in the team, she immediately cheered.

Gu Shiyu ran over and patted Ressa's head happily.

Renesa glared, "Can you not pat me on the head? ”

"Are you an adult?" Gu Shiyu tilted his head and looked at Renesa.

"Of course, don't forget, I helped you defeat the Terror Knight!" Ressa puffed out his chest, a slight bulge on his chest, as if he were carrying two little doves.

Gu Shiyu scratched his head, look at the places where Renesa should grow, he should be considered an adult, right?

Torches have been lit on the levels, and the guards are running, each finding their own position.

Gu Shiyu rode his horse to the pass alone, and shouted upward: "Please open the city gate, we don't want to be your enemy, we just want to pass through here." ”

A druid monk poked his head out and said, "We're not going to let you go." Our duty is to hold this level. If you pass, you'll be stepping on our corpses. ”

"Do you see the army behind me? I don't want to see anyone shedding blood. ”

"We've seen armies dozens of times stronger than you, who also left a large number of corpses behind the gates, and then fled in all directions. Let's go, if you still insist on passing through here, it depends on whether the sword in our hand agrees or not!"

Gu Shiyu angrily retreated and began to deploy an attack formation.

In fact, Gu Shiyu didn't need to be arranged at all, the well-trained infantry had already stood on their own, and there were ten cavalrymen and four cyclops by his side.

The first round of lit bows and arrows had been fired from the walls, and the rain of fire pierced into the clouds, and then fell with its weight.

Gu Shiyu's infantry lacked equipment, only a few had iron shields, and most of the soldiers only held the lid of a pot for cooking at home, or a so-called shield nailed indiscriminately with wooden planks. Dozens of rockets fell, and more than a dozen people had fallen in the ranks.

But the archers have also begun to fight back, and the four cyclops even slammed into the level with a huge boulder the size of a millstone, which made people feel terrified.

Lightning and fireballs of the druids burst out among the Cyclops. Gu Shiyu also fought back with lightning, which was much more powerful than the druids.

However, after each round of magic attacks, there is always a time to cool down the spell so that the spell can be cast. Taking advantage of this time, Gu Shiyu's bow and arrows kept shooting, and the long-range attacks on the level became weaker and weaker.

It's time to charge! The other troops hesitated for a moment, and when they saw that Gu Shiyu also began to attack, they shouted and ran towards the pass.

The main force attacking the gates was a rudimentary siege vehicle pushed by the spearmen. Heavy tree trunks kept pounding against the city gates, and the iron gates finally collapsed with a bang.

It's time for the cavalry and swordsmen to show their skills. None of the defenders fled, and no one chose to surrender, all of them died on the battlefield.

Gu Shiyu walked into the gate with blood stains all over the ground. His heart was heavy, admiring the loyalty of the defenders, and asking himself whether it was right or wrong to do so.

From the point of view of myself and the villagers, such a battle is really a last resort, but some of these defenders who died in the battle are other people's sons, some are other people's fathers, some are other people's husbands, and some even have multiple identities.

He may have saved some families, but he has destroyed many others, is that too costly?

The cavalry captain stood beside Gu Shiyu and sighed: "I learned to kill innocents indiscriminately when I was twenty years old. In such a world, only the strong can live longer. I don't bother to think about who these people are who have fallen under my guns now, I only hope that their souls will ascend to the kingdom of heaven, if there is still a kingdom of heaven. ”

The old swordsman also said, "I have often prayed to the gods, but they have never responded to me. Maybe God has too much to do to answer my prayers. Ever since my family and I were driven from our homes and mercilessly slaughtered by the undead, I no longer believe in the gods, only in the sword in my hand. ”

"Bury them well!" Gu Shiyu sighed, "They are all warriors and deserve such respect." ”

Gu Shiyu's troops also sacrificed more than 40 soldiers, and they exchanged their lives for the chance of survival of their relatives.
