Chapter 55: The Lair of Darkness (Part I)
Rhodes clenched the big shield in his hand and knocked out a swooping bat, the blood bat that fell to the ground immediately let out a hissing sound, however, before the monster screamed a few more times, Rod raised the shield with both hands and smashed it hard, the round shield wrapped in iron sheet smashed heavily on the bat, smashing its entire body into deformation, blood and internal organs squeezed out of the bat's body, with a trace of screaming, Rod stepped on its head, only to hear a sound of bones breaking, the blood bat's head was trampled flat, and all kinds of liquids were scattered to the ground。
The dwarven butcher was much more dissolute, wielding his battle axe, one axe at a time, and even grabbed the bats in the darkness with his bare hands, tearing them in half in anger! Blood and entrails spilled from the bat's body and poured on Bogul's face, but it aroused his desire to fight even more excitedly. Just like his name - butcher.
The chaos caused by the blood bats soon ended, and due to the preparations made before the battle, only two soldiers were bitten, and most of them were not scratched and bitten by these bats. However, no sooner had the two soldiers bandaged their wounds than another wave of undead creatures followed.
In the depths of the dark tunnel, the low roars of countless zombies, ghouls, and various monsters were heard, dragging their tattered bodies, and these zombies crowded every inch of the tunnel, and even piled up people, crawling to approach the hunting party.
Fresh blood, the breath of the living, makes these monsters crazy with excitement.
However, since I came in, I didn't plan to go out so easily. The Night Ravens first fired the first wave of arrows at these undead monsters.
After taking down a dozen zombies and skeleton monsters, a large number of undead monsters also flocked to this hunting party.
"Steady!"
Rhodes did not order everyone to retreat, but ordered the heavy armor warriors to raise their shields to meet the enemy on the spot, and in the case of the enemy's overwhelming superiority, the narrow tunnel was in favor of the elite combat force, as long as the shield wall was held, even if there were more zombies and ghouls, they would not be able to break through the defense line. This is just like the tactics of the dwarves when they dealt with the rat people, in the narrow underground tunnel, as long as there are a dozen dwarven warriors in full armor, no matter how many rats there are, they will not be able to help them.
"Attack!"
Finally, a tidal wave of zombies flocked to the hunting party, and at the same time, Rhodes gave the order to fight back.
Spears and swords stabbed out from behind the shield wall, and with deep rage, a sword stabbed into the bodies of these rotten monsters, disemboweling them and dismantling them.
Black blood splattered in front of his eyes, and the roars of zombies, the roars of dwarves, the cries of humans, and the sound of various weapons tearing apart bodies were all resounding.
In the dense zombie group, Rhodes roared and threw out the tomahawk in his hand, with the wrath of the bear god, the tomahawk spun rapidly, flying in the zombie group like a meat grinder, and where the thunder tomahawk passed, countless flesh and blood flew around, along with those skeletons that were about to fall apart.
In the blink of an eye, the sharp Mithril battle axe was submerged in the dense zombie horde.
However, just when everyone thought that the Lord of Blackhammer had lost a good weapon, Rhodes grabbed into the air and called for a battle axe. The Thunder Twin Axes are inseparable, it can be both separate and a whole. A moment later, from behind the dense horde of zombies came another sparse grinding sound. The tomahawk spun in with terrifying lethality, slicing through the bodies of zombies and skeletons along the way, and when it returned to Rod's hands, it was stained with disgusting viscous blood and all kinds of broken internal organs, but soon, these disgusting goo spilled with the swinging axe blade!
......
"Lord, they are surrounded from behind!" Dream Chinese
As the front row of soldiers slaughters zombies in the narrow tunnel, Tallinnham spotted a threat from the back of the tunnel. Undead creatures are not stupid, they may not be conscious themselves, but they are sentient, intelligent vampires who command them. Unable to break through from the front, he copied from the back and attacked from both sides.
A large number of ghouls and skeletons rushed towards the hunting party from the other side of the tunnel.
In desperation, Yeskovich turned around, pulled away from the front line, and stepped forward quickly, casting spells as he ran. I saw a dark spear appear out of thin air in his hand, and with the anger of the shaman, the spear flew into the air and flew towards the ghouls in the back row at an alarming speed.
Amber Spear, Piercing Attack......
After the whistling sound, a whole row of ghouls was knocked down and pierced like a string of incense, and the spear pierced through a dozen ghouls before stopping, and finally nailed to the unstable tunnel wall, on which the ghoul stench blood continued to drip down.
"Caroline, help me drag them!"
Before he had time to think of a countermeasure, Rhodes first asked the Frost Witch to use the Frost Spell to delay the enemy's siege.
Caroline stood in the middle of the crowd and quickly chanted the "Wall of Ice" spell. The power of the spell converged in front of the witch, and thin ice crystals began to grow along the tunnel walls around Caroline, and the white frost and snow spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, ice picks began to grow on the ground and the soil layer above the head, and the tumbling ghouls roared and rushed over, and at the same time, Caroline's spell became faster and faster, and the ice wall quickly generated and closed, with the sound of ice crystals rubbing and biting, and the moment the large group of ghouls pounced, the ice wall formed.
The ghouls that rushed to the front were instantly frozen, their bodies fused with the ice wall, and their deformed heads poked out of the ice wall, but they were long out of breath.
As Rhodes rushed back, he chopped off the frozen heads with an axe.
"We are surrounded!"
Caroline panted as she said that casting spells was much more tiring than melee combat, and that for a level 4 wizard, casting an ice wall in a short period of time had already consumed most of her mana, and she needed to recover for a while before she could cast spells again.
"No, we're adjusting our tactics. ”
Rhodes returned. Immediately, several Norscan warriors and the guards around the knights of the kingdom stood up, and the zombies and skeleton monsters on the original side were left to the Moorish Order to deal with, they were professional undead killers, and to deal with these half-dead monsters, Rhodes planned to take matters into his own hands.
Several Norsca raiders struck their shields with their long swords and battle axes, letting out a beastly war cry, while the squires of the knights of the kingdom were sweating nervously, but they were not afraid, I have to say that the people sent by the Ice Queen are elites, you know, in this dark crypt, being hit on both sides, ordinary human soldiers have long been scared, but Rhodes can't see any fear on their faces.
They stood together to form a new shield wall.
In front of him, the manic ghoul kept slapping against the ice wall, and cracks began to appear in the thin wall.
And everyone is ready to fight bloody again, the effect of the life potion has not faded, and they still have about ten minutes of immunity to undead attacks. Must take advantage of the short ten minutes, Rod twisted his neck and clenched the tomahawk in his hand again......
