Chapter 18: The Strange Captain of the Guard and the Unaware Summon

On the other side of the mausoleum, detachments of hoplites constantly threw themselves into the reopened entrance to the mausoleum. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Covered in heavy armor and wrapped in heavy chain mail at joints and other places that require dexterity, hoplites hold an anti-magic alloy shield to form a shield wall to withstand the constant impact of the ghouls. The hoplites did not make any attack except after the first round of dagger stabs, but continued to push through the ghouls under the pressure of their companions.

Dense hordes of ghouls and ever-increasing formations of hoplites compete in such a confined space to see which side can hold out to the end under such pressure. However, due to the erosion of time, the body structure of the ghouls has deteriorated badly, and it is completely unable to stop the slowly advancing hoplite formation.

"Lord Duke, the souls of those ghouls have not yet been fully laid to rest. As a competent battle mage leader, Kane worries about reporting his observations to Alain, "The next battle is likely to be quite difficult. ”

"It doesn't matter. As long as you are safe and do not collapse this one mausoleum. Alain frowned in response to Kane's doubts, if it was a ghoul whose soul had rested, he could clear the field by letting those battle mages throw a few illusion spells, but now he could only continue to invest in tug-of-war. If it was usual, Alain wouldn't care at all at this time, but now Alain, who is worried, doesn't have such patience.

At this moment, Denton, who was able to stand among these large and small nobles, stepped forward and walked towards Alain, who was observing, and everyone in front of him immediately gave in, walked aside in awe, and looked at such a guard captain with a low status compared to himself with admiration. And for the awe and worship that these people exuded, Denton didn't care at all.

"Alain, there are some ghoul mages in the mausoleum, tell your men to pay attention. lest the other side blow up the channel. Ignoring the hierarchical notions of the world, Denton called the Duke by his first name.

"There's a ghoul mage?" an unhappy tone came from Alain's mouth, "Then why didn't you say it earlier!"

The sword in Alain's hand was smashed into the dirt by his master, and the smell of gunpowder between the captain of the guard and the duke was quite strong.

"Isn't that what I'm telling you now?" Dalton replied to the duke in a gentle tone, looking directly at the duke.

The surrounding soldiers should have taken down this impudent man, but considering the strength of the other party and his relationship with his duke, all of them were firmly guarding their posts. In addition to the soldiers, the high-ranking military officials on the side, such as Turis, Kane and Laros, as well as the mayor of Luou Town and the father and son of Earl Garin, who came to watch, all looked at the nose and nose, and everyone was out of sight.

"Turis arranges the striker. Alain, who had calmed down a little, ordered to pretend that he didn't know what to do, and then turned his head to face the person who made him very unhappy and warned, "If something happens to Shirin, I don't care who you used to be, you are destined to hang the wall." ”

"Is there a father like you?Shilinya is your daughter, you didn't do your duty and still have the heart to shirk your responsibility?" Facing Alain's warning, Denton was not to be outdone, "I have always treated her as my own daughter......"

"Shireen is my daughter!" Dalton's words made Alain, who had calmed down a little, immediately go into a violent state.

"Ahem...... Earl Carville, who had been playing soy sauce on the side, coughed vigorously a few times, causing the tension to divert his attention slightly, "Lord Duke Alain, Master Denton, it is important to rescue Miss Duchess now." ”

In the midst of the arguments between the high-ranking commanders and the nobodies, the hoplites, who were constantly shoving, succeeded in pushing the pile of ghouls into a wide burial chamber that could be easily unfolded. The hoplites, who had achieved a brief success, did not let up in the slightest, their shields still held high, and they were greeted in the chamber by a rain of arrows and a mixture of fireballs, ice picks, and clusters of lightning. However, these are just a drizzle in front of the magic alloy shield with good physical resistance and magic resistance.

On the other side of the mausoleum, Shilinya finally managed to climb to the upper level of the collapse with the efforts of the two of them.

"If you threw that antique book away, we would have had a lot easier just now. Brushing the sweat from her forehead, Saivera complained to Shilinya dissatisfiedly, "Even if you don't do this, you can use the feathering technique to reduce weight earlier." ”

"Haha......" Shirinya, who was amused for a while, responded to the other party's complaint in embarrassment, and just now she struggled to climb halfway before she remembered that she had used the feathering technique of the control system to reduce her weight, which made the efforts of the first half of the two sides a lot in vain.

"Did you find a burial object as a weapon?" Shirinya, who was looking to change the subject, found an ancient longbow and quiver behind the other.

"Ahh It's rare to get a handful of inferior products that can be used. Sayvera took out this ancient longbow, both in terms of manufacturing technology and style, it was far behind the times, but it was only a moment of display and put it back on the back, "Let's go, the battle above has caused a lot of ghouls here to rush forward, let's go and observe the situation." ”

"Also, there are a lot of ghouls here whose souls have not been laid to rest. Unlike the fools we met below, they could all be leveled with a single rage spell. As she was about to open the door to the tomb, Sayvera turned back to warn the stealthy idiot behind her.

"Yes. I know. Nodding cautiously, Shilinya nervously held the broken sword in her hand, and at the same time, her left hand had already taken a spell-casting stance, ready to use spells to make a face.

After receiving the assurance of the Fa, Saivela lowered her body and moved slowly forward. There are many more torches for lighting in the mausoleum on this floor, and these torches that have been burning for an unknown number of years are emitting a faint light for the two of them to illuminate.

Although the tombs of the unknown dead need to be lit by torches, the two of them know through their own experience or knowledge of different worlds that there is an outlet for air circulation, or that they have some perfect air purification circle. Whether it's correct or not, both know they won't die of suffocation or gas poisoning.

Walking in front, Saivela suddenly stopped in her steps, and through the faint light, Shilinya could see the other party's pause gesture clearly. Shirinya, who received the signal, did not dare to move, but just looked directly at the hazy, dark front, where a ghoul in full iron armor stood like a sculpture in a small depression in the wall, holding his hands on his chest and bowing his head and sleeping. If it weren't for Sayvera's reminder, Shilinya believed that she would never have noticed when she walked up to the other party.

Faced with this, Sayvera quietly took out the longbow behind her back, clenched it in her left hand, and at the same time drew a feathered arrow from her quiver with her right hand and placed it on top of the ancient longbow. As Sayvila pulled the bowstring in his hand, the ancient longbow made a "chirp" noise, making one wonder if it would break into two knots in the next moment.

Perhaps because the longbow was so noisy, the sleeping ghoul raised his head and opened his eyes glowing blue. The ghoul jumped out of the small hole with agility, took out a giant sword behind his back and looked around, and Shilinya, who saw this scene in her eyes, clenched the sword in her hand even more tightly to prevent any emergency.

The longbow was still making noise, and in Shilinya's eyes, Sayvera pulled the longbow in her hand completely, and the other party didn't seem to care if the longbow could withstand such a pull.

When the ghouls' eyes focused on the direction of the two men, the long-standing feathered arrows shot out of the taut longbow. At this moment, it was too late to discover the two ghouls lurking, and the face of the unprotected ghoul was directly pierced by the arrows that flew out, and the rusty arrows also pierced through the back of the head and pierced the helmet that protected the head.

The ghoul's blue glow vanished from his eyes, and the unsupported ghoul fell to the ground, the sound of armor hitting the ground echoed through the graveyard.

"Don't move. Saivera warned Shirinya, who was getting excited in the back, that she was more sensitive to battle than Xiaobai in the back, and she knew that the most important thing was whether she would attract other remnants of ghouls next.

As the Assassin had expected, several muffled roars rang out at the corner of a tombway.

Sure enough, there were other ghouls who didn't go to the exhibition station, and Saivera couldn't help but curse these old and undead ghouls, but now it is better to kill a heavy armored ghoul than to wait or come forward to die, and now she can only pray that the other party will be a ghoul whose soul is rested, otherwise the chance of being found will be greatly increased.

However, what you are afraid of will come. The ghouls who hurried over immediately surrounded the fallen ghouls and protected themselves with the round shield in their hands. One of the ghouls who came next leaned down to check on the one who had already died.

"Damn it!" said Sayvera immediately drew her bow and arrows, as the ghouls' eyes were already focused in her direction.

Maybe it's because they've been discovered, or maybe these ghouls still have a fighting instinct in life. The arrows galloped out of the way, blocked by a draugr with a shield in his hand. But the arrows did their best to penetrate the shield and pierce the ghoul's skinny arm. Causes the ghouls who are not strong enough to take a few steps back.

The failure of this blow gave the ghouls a target, but these ghouls did not have the same low IQ as the last ghoul to rush up. The ghouls held their shields in their hands and advanced in a full formation.

The neat formation didn't last long, and Shirinya, who had been watching, saw the opportunity to throw a large fireball directly at the ghouls of the dense team. The dense formation and narrow space made such a large fireball cause great damage. The ghouls in the front row were instantly blown into a pile of pieces by the fireball, and the ghouls in the back were more or less swept to the ground by the impact of the air waves. However, its fragile body also made it difficult for it to stand up again.

Shilinya was overjoyed to see her masterpiece, but she was about to repeat her old trick when she was pulled by the strong hand of Saivela on the side behind a funeral urn not far away. The sudden change made Shilinya, who was in the mood, feel very dissatisfied, and the other party's rough methods caused her to be smashed directly on the thick ground. Before he could complain, Saivila's entire body weighed heavily on him.

Now the two are completely crowded together, and under the face-to-face, both of them seem very nervous. Looking at the other party's nervous face, Shilinya didn't know if her nervousness was due to shyness or because of the enemy outside.

However, soon a strong gust of ice-blue wind blew over the two of them, and Saivera, who was facing away from the tomb, may not know, but Shirinya could see it clearly, the burial goods in the tomb, as well as the ground and walls, were turned into ice cubes by this strong wind! If it wasn't for the two of them dodging quickly just now, the two of them would definitely turn into popsicles now.

"There's a ghoul mage on the other side, throw a spell at that group of things right away!!" Sayvera, who turned over, picked up her antique-level longbow and shot at the ghouls who were constantly approaching like a wall, and shouted at Shilinya, who had not yet reacted.

In the face of Saivila's roar, Shilinya did not disappoint the other party. Throwing aside the antique longsword in his hand, his hands took turns to release the fireball technique and bombarded the shield wall of the ghouls continuously, this time the fireball was not as powerful as the last time, but it could not withstand the suppression of the number of fireballs.

When Shirinya's fireball rain continued to reap some of the ghouls, Saivera also slowed down the frequency of her attacks, after all, compared to her own point shots, the opponent's fireball rain was the big killer to harvest those ghouls. But Sayvera didn't let herself relax in the slightest, and the ghoul mage hiding in the center of the ghouls was the deadliest.

As the number of ghouls dwindled under Shilinya's bombardment, the ghoul mages hidden in them were exposed to the sight of the two. The ghoul was not much different from the other ghouls, except that the magic shield around it exposed it, and it was this shield that allowed it to survive such a dense bombardment of Shilinya, but the blue-purple light in his hand made the two of them feel quite dangerous.

"Finally appeared. "Saivela is not going to miss such a great opportunity.

The longbow in his hand immediately pulled a full string, and the sharp sound of the arrow breaking through the air caused the ghoul who maintained the shield and unknown spells to instinctively shift an angle, but despite this, the arrow pierced through the already faint shield and stuck in the right shoulder of the ghoul. And the ghouls, who had lost their sense of pain, were still brewing an unknown spell in their hands.

Regardless of whether it was completely killed or not, Shilinya still slipped a few fireballs at the ghouls. The ghoul mage who was hit by the fireball was saved from death by relying on the crumbling shield, but was also knocked out of the air, and the ghouls who came after him quickly filled the gap.

"I ......" Saivera felt quite speechless when she saw Shilinya's god-like mending knife, and the ghoul mage, who was obviously about to die, returned to the group of ghouls in this way, but the curse words were swallowed back alive, and the current situation was definitely not the time for infighting.

Shilinya, who knew that she was in trouble, didn't say much, just threw fireballs harder, hoping to make up for her unintentional mistake.

Just as the two sides were once again in a bitter battle, a cold aura oppressed the audience, and both Shilinya and Saivera, who were living people, and the ghouls who were more or less mechanically active with their own consciousness, stopped their attacks and movements.

"Something happened. Saivera stiffly turned her head to ask Shirinya next to her, an oppression that made the battle-hardened Assassin feel quite confused and fearful.

"It's as if the ghoul is on a summoning to connect different worlds. Shilinya, who was quite uncertain, could only answer the other party in this way, a feeling that can only be described in some of the more off-the-beaten-path books.

And the truth was just as Shilinya thought, a burst of blue-purple light suddenly appeared in the group of ghouls, and the blue-purple light constantly distorted the space, and the ghouls in it were distorted into abstract noodles in the incredible eyes of the two.

"Such a summoning magic is already comparable to high-level destruction magic just by appearing in the ceremony!" This magic foul is a foul!" This was the common thought of the two who were stunned by such a light and shadow special effect.

"Mortals, you're killing yourselves!" a hollow roar came from the blue-purple distorted light, but its owner's form was not revealed, but the majestic coercion had caused all the nearby ghouls to lie on the ground.

"Run!" Shirinya, a magician, was the first to react to the shock, grabbed Saivela's hand and ran back.

Although they were not as unbearable as those ghouls, the two of them almost felt the horror of the monsters that were about to appear from the coercion of those substances, and the slight tremors on their bodies just reflected the fear of the two of them now.

In a panic, Shilinya ran along the road and unleashed a large fireball of even more destructive power to bombard the passages along the road, creating obstacles. Try to use obstacles to stop monsters that may be chasing you.

When the light effects were completely over, a tall human figure appeared in the tombway. He was dressed in dark red armor and wore a human body and face, but there were two crooked horns in his thick hair. A large knife covered in patterns, completely out of proportion to its body, crushed several of the unlucky ghouls in the vicinity when it fully appeared.

"Why are these bastards!!" The unidentified creature let out its own roar as it faced the ghouls around it.

Both of them who were running wildly could hear the anger of their master.
