Chapter 15: Failure

Five days later, Shadik, the leader of the fourth detachment of the "Fire Lion" mercenary group, finally arrived. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why are you alone?" said Griffin, with a depressed expression, as if he was suppressing his grievances. But it's no wonder that he looks like this, seeing the enemy close at hand but helpless, it won't be easy to change to anyone.

"Who said I was the only one—" Sodick waved his staff, and the skeleton legion behind him stirred and gurgled. "Useless waste, no amount of call will help, will it?"

Griffin's men cast disgruntled glances at the arrogant wizard, only to see that Sodick was dressed in a gray robe, with silver hair tied tightly behind his head, a scar on his long face, a scar running from his forehead through his right eye to his earlobe, and a skull with a severed jaw at the top of his staff, and a miniature magic circle carved into the fontanelle of the skull, which looked like an ominous symbol.

"The mine is behind that bush—see?"

Sodick looked where Griffin was pointing, and at the entrance of the cave, a ghoul stood motionless with his back facing outward, as if abandoned by his manipulator, and as if he was luring someone to take the bait.

"I see, no wonder you can't do anything these days. Sodick said in a playful tone, "You are right not to act rashly, otherwise you may be wiped out at any time." But I think it's a little strange that the necromancer just keeps hiding in the cave without eating or drinking?"

Hearing the mockery in Sodick's words, Griffin held back the nameless fire in his heart and told the whole story in detail. Hearing this, Sodick muttered, "Appears without warning, and can escape in an instant...... Listening to your description, this is undoubtedly flickering, but shimmering has many limitations, not only does it require the depiction of magic arrays, but also the chanting of complex spells, and most importantly - it cannot be used continuously in a short period of time. ”

"Yes, this question has puzzled me for a long time, and I have never understood why they can come and go on the battlefield with ease. There must be a secret in this that we don't know. ”

"But the strange thing is, why didn't the other party attack you?" said Sodick with a smirk, "Since the other party has mastered this spell, it should be easy to kill you." ”

Griffin snorted coldly and said, "In the open land, I am not afraid of anyone. ”

"There's another possibility—they didn't intend to clash with us in the first place, they just wanted the tricolor. Sodick saw several corpses on the ground that were haphazardly covered with straw mats, and asked, "Who are these?"

"These are deserters, and I have captured them and killed them on the spot. ”

"It's just right for me. Sodick turned his head and smiled darkly at Griffin's men, all of them shuddering.

"What are you going to do with those ghouls?" asked Griffin.

"It's simple, just rush in. ”

Sodick summoned a tall skeleton with a dagger in hand, took out a bottle that appeared to contain potions from his robes and handed it to the skeleton, then took out a black mass and embedded it in the skeleton's empty eye sockets. He aimed his bone staff at the mine, and the skeleton soldiers behind him rushed towards their target.

Armed with machetes, swords, knights, spears, and daggers, some of them made of bones, some of them real weapons, and with a loud noise, the skeletons surrounded the ghoul at the entrance of the cave, and instantly chopped it into a pile of jet-black meat sauce.

"Even if you chop them into meat sauce, they can explode or turn into a poisonous mist at any time. Griffin reminded.

"I know. ”

I saw that the skeleton with the short dagger just opened the medicine bottle and poured something on the ghoul, and the ghoul immediately crackled, and after a while, it turned into corpse water, and soaked the nearby dirt black. The skeleton army continued to rush towards the mine, disappearing from everyone's view. Sodick then closed his right eye and whispered a incantation, his gaze meeting the dagger skeleton's eye sockets.

As the skeletons marched to the deepest part, Sodick saw a scene of twenty-four ghouls in the mine, some of them digging through the earth with pickaxes, some picking rough stones, some removing impurities and mud from the rough stones, and some loading trucks and cleaning up the sifted waste mud. All the ghouls' movements are delicate and concise, and the entire mining operation is carried out in a surprisingly strict order. Sodick swallowed secretly, knowing that the strength of this necromancer was above his own.

The ghouls spotted the intruder, and all their heads twisted in unison, and then the ghouls twitched slightly. Sodick snorted coldly, "Sure enough. ”

An earth-shattering explosion erupted from the cavern, interrupting the visual connection between Sodick and the skeleton, followed by a rockfall that grew louder and louder, and was on the verge of collapsing.

"No!no!no," Griffin yelled reluctantly.

"I will definitely take revenge for this revenge!" said Sodick, trembling, "I will let them die a bad death!"
