Several friends of the young nobleman gathered around the headless corpse, and they looked around in panic, fearing that the murderer would once again rush out of the fog to kill.

The strong man reached out and picked up the head of the noble boy, placed it next to the headless corpse, closed his eyelids with his hand, and then said to everyone: "We have encountered enemies that we have never seen before, they are hidden in the fog and come and go like the wind, so please try not to scatter, only if everyone is united, it is possible to avoid any harm and get out of this oak forest." ”

If someone is willing to stand up, there will naturally be followers.

After the strong man got up from the ground, someone in the crowd shouted: "Knight Holman what you say, we will listen to you." ”

Karl spread his hands helplessly and smiled slightly wryly at Surdak.

Obviously, everyone doesn't approve of him, but since there are people who are willing to stand up and take the lead, then he is happy to relax.

Knight Holman slapped the heavy sword in his hand rhythmically on his trouser armor, making a clicking sound, and shouted at the crowd: "Now I need some help, I hope you can stand up bravely, and the Grimm Empire warriors will come out......"

He looked scrappy, standing in the fog, scrutinizing every young nobleman in the crowd with great care.

Some young nobles showed fearful expressions on their faces, and their bodies involuntarily retreated, but there were also some young nobles who took the initiative to stand up.

Darcy. Christie also tried to get out of the crowd, but was stopped by the manor guards, who persuaded her to get out of the crowd. Christie stayed in the crowd, but the manor guards joined in unison. Karl, Llewellyn, and Surdak joined the brave in their wake.

Since everyone was originally out hunting, the weapons and equipment on their bodies were very complete, and no one had anything to prepare.

It's just that the Leonard swordsman in the crowd had a somewhat ugly face, and he tried to get out of the crowd, but was grabbed by Miss Fanny and whispered in his ear: "Are you crazy?" ”

Leonard's face was a little ugly, he hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped and did not continue to walk, one hand tightly on the hilt of the sword.

Except for Leonard's swordsman, and the Bird tax collector didn't come forward this time, he was the civil tax collector of the city hall of Hylanza, and he had almost nothing on his body except for a big belly, and the spanking sword on his waist was more like an ornament, and Miss Hoyle looked at the Bird tax collector with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Seeing that so many people had come forward, Knight Holman shouted to everyone, "Very well, everyone take up arms, surround the women and those who cannot fight, and we will march together to the lake manor." ”

Then he said to his friend of the young nobleman who had been beheaded, "We must leave him here, and tomorrow the fog will clear during the day, and then return to the oak grove to fetch him, for no one knows how many terrible enemies are hidden in the mist, and we must not waste our hands on carrying him away." ”

Although several young nobles were a little reluctant, they were afraid that no one around them was willing to help them carry away the corpses of their companions, so they could only continue to walk forward with the others.

Knight Holman walked at the front of the line with his sword, and he turned back to the crowd and shouted, "Has anyone prepared torches, which can dispel some cold fog and keep those dangerous things from approaching......"

The captain of the guard of Christie's Manor took out a pine tarpaulin from his magic waist bag, cut off an arm-thick horizontal branch from an oak tree, and made five torches in three times and five by two, but after the torches were lit, they could only illuminate an area three meters in diameter, and even the fire could not be seen farther away, and the fog became even bigger.

Everyone leaned together, and the outermost part was all warriors with weapons in their hands, and everyone gave up riding horses and walked in the direction of the Ice Lake Manor on foot.

The oak grove under the fog seemed darker, and in addition to the sound of footsteps, there was a very dull cracking sound in the woodland, as if something was breaking through the ground, and the sickle in the dense fog appeared twice more, but it was discovered by the prepared people in advance.

Although two young men were slashed in the arm by the scythe, no one was killed by the scythe.

The light of the torch can make the approaching scythe appear in advance, and everyone finds that it is actually two ghosts wandering in the oak forest, they have white outlines, their bodies are translucent, they can hide in the fog, they come and go silently, and when they get close to the torch, the original blurred outline will become solid.

"It's two undead ghosts......" Karl whispered to Surdak as he stared at a white figure that had retreated back into the mist.

Just as Karl turned his head, Surdak only felt the fog behind Karl roll violently, and a sharp axe broke through the fog and slashed at Karl's left shoulder.

Karl was caught off guard, feeling Surdak's eyes, as well as the fierce wind behind him, he didn't have time to dodge, he could only lean to the right, trying to dodge the sharp axe, seeing that the sharp axe was about to cut on Karl's shoulder guard, the craftsman's sword in Surdak's hand held the axe blade, and made a loud noise, and an extremely strong anti-shock force almost shook the craftsman's sword in Surdak's hand away, and Surdak took half a step back.

The hand holding the sword was a little numb by the sharp axe, Surdak saw a skeleton striding out of the mist, the axe in his hand was blocked by Surdak, but the footsteps did not stop, and kicked at Carl who fell to the ground, Carl turned around and used his sword to block the skeleton's bones and feet, the huge force of the skeleton knocked away the long sword in Carl's hand, and Carl took the opportunity of this line to dodge the skeleton's kick in embarrassment.

Baron Llewellyn beside him slashed at the skull's forearm, and the long sword clicked like it hit the hollow tree trunk, leaving a shallow mark on the skeleton's gray-white arm bone.

The skeleton was still stained with some frozen soil, and the skeleton was even a little mutilated, and he held a sharp axe in his hand, the head of the axe was rusty, and the handle of the axe was a piece of white bone that was about to rot, and the skeleton's body was surrounded by a strong death gas, and there were two dark blue flames hidden in the eye sockets of the skull, which were the soul fire of the undead creatures, and also the source of their power.

The skeleton that emerged from the mist looked at Baron Llewellyn, so frightened that Baron Llewellyn almost threw his sword to the ground.

Fortunately, at this time, Surdak had recovered, the dwarf chain shield was in his hand, adjusted his pace, the heavy shield hit the skeleton hard, the gray-white skeleton suddenly made a crisp sound of shattering, the skeleton was hit by Surdak's shield and its body shook, Carl took the opportunity to get up from the ground, and stabbed the long sword in his hand into the skeleton's left eye socket, in the eye socket,

The skeleton twitched continuously, the soul fire in the right eye socket stared at Karl, and the sharp axe in his hand slashed at Karl, but it was once again blocked by the shield in Surdak's hand, and the long swords of Karl and Llewellyn pierced into the skeleton's right eye socket almost at the same time, piercing the trace of soul fire, and suddenly the gray bones on the skeleton's body were scattered all over the ground, and the heavy axe also fell heavily to the ground, and the dead air all over his body instantly floated into the air.

Knight Holman ran over with a long sword, stared at the broken bones on the ground with an ugly face, and said, "It's the skeleton soldiers of the undead clan, how can there be undead here?" ”

The rest of the people didn't know what to say, and the captain of the guard at Christie Manor said, "This place has never been invaded by the undead. ”

The first time Surdak encountered the skeleton soldiers of the undead clan, he was a little curious about this skeleton, so he squatted down to check the broken bones on the ground, picked up a thigh bone casually, and found a hand-painted rune on the bone, Surdak picked up the leg bone in his hand suspiciously, and asked suspiciously: "The skeleton of the undead clan also has magic patterns on its body?" ”

The Holman knight walked over, took the broken bone from Surdak's hand, looked at it and said, "In my opinion, this is not a skeleton of the undead clan at all, this is a skeleton summoned by a necromancer, the necromancer holds undead magic, they can summon powerful undead creatures, only the undead creatures who have signed a contract with the necromancer can have this magic mark on their bodies." ”

The team did not stop because of this, and everyone kept walking in the direction of the ice lake.

"So, it was a necromancer who attacked us?" Llewellyn asked with trepidation.

"Or maybe there's a necromancer among the people who attacked us!" Carl said that he didn't think that the person who created the ice fog was just a necromancer.

Knight Holden didn't answer the question, but turned to Surdak and asked, "Just returned from the battlefield?" ”

Surdak glanced at Knight Holden and saw a hint of appreciation on his rough face, and said:

"Moyun Ridge in Handanar County."

It was a battle that no one would like to mention, probably no one except the Bena people would know about it, but it was a bitter lesson for the people of Hylanza, which meant that the army of the city of Hylanza lost a large number of soldiers in that battle, especially the 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment, which was almost completely wiped out.

Therefore, as soon as Surdak said this, Knight Holden looked stunned, he nodded, looked at Surdak and said, "I have also heard of that battle, Solomon. The place where Marquis Bowen died, you can come back alive, it should be favored by Lady Luck, my name is Holden, if you have the chance, you can sit down and talk together. ”

Knight Holden didn't say much, and when he saw that the situation had stabilized, he walked back to the front of the line to open the way.

After this sneak attack by the undead skeletons, Karl no longer dared to chat in the team with a big grin, and handed over his back to Surdak.

At this time, Surdak noticed that Miss Fanny in the crowd was wrapped in a thick cloak, but her body still seemed to be shaking.

Leonard's face beside her also became more ugly, his eyes kept looking around, obviously afraid that something would suddenly appear, and his panicked expression definitely didn't look like what an intermediate swordsman should be.

Immediately after, skeletons kept crawling out of the frozen ground, although they did not come and go as freely as ghosts, but they had a fierce attack, they did not feel any pain on their bodies, as long as the soul fire in their eyes was not extinguished, even if the bones in their bodies were broken, they could still struggle to stand up from the broken bones, and the dead air in their bodies could quickly connect the gray and white bones together.

And the number of such skeletons coming out of the frozen ground is increasing, in addition to the first one being quickly eliminated, then several skeletons came up from all directions, and immediately rushed the defense line on the periphery of the crowd to pieces, these young nobles have no combat experience at all, and the shield in their hands can't resist the sharp axe in the skeleton's hand, and they can't dispose of the skeletons in the first place, and they actually start a melee for a while.

Lurking in the fog lurks two ghosts waiting for an opportunity, and the presence of the scythe means that someone is injured.

Only Surdak and Karl and Baron Llewellyn cooperated tacitly, Surdak held the dwarf chain shield in front, and the sharp axe of the undead skeleton could not split his iron shield, and they were undead creatures who did not have much intelligence, and they did not know how to be flexible at all, and the tacit cooperation of the three allowed them to kill three skeletons one after another.

The others were not strong enough to fight the skeletons in a panic, and Knight Holden had to go around fighting fires.

Along the way, the Manor Guards suffered the heaviest losses, and due to their mission, they almost did not hesitate to stand on the outskirts of the group to meet the first round of attacks from skeletons and ghosts, by which time seven guards had been injured one after another, and one of them had his collarbone severed by the Ghost Scythe in the shoulder.

Darcy. Christie also joined the battle with a sword at this time, and took Darcy . When Christie enters the war, the manor guards can only get to Darcy's side, protecting Darcy from being attacked by ghosts, even if she is injured.

Along the way, there were constantly wounded, and even some people fought continuously, and there was no time to bandage the wounds.

Surdak wanted to help the wounded warrior treat his wounds, and then he suddenly remembered the shining saber in the magic waist bag, although the craftsman's sword was more handy when fighting, but in order to maintain a more holy light power, Surdak suddenly put the craftsman's sword into the scabbard, and under Karl's surprised gaze, he pulled out the shining saber from the magic waist bag.

When his hand was on the hilt of the knife, an inexplicable suction force sucked the divine aura flowing in his body into the blade, and in an instant, the blade lit up with a faint light, looking like a lit torch in the mist.

He ran towards a young nobleman covered in blood, the young nobleman's forearm was cut off by the sharp axe of the skeleton, and two wounds were also cut on the body by the sharp axe, and the two companions around him were forced to retreat by the skeleton, seeing that an axe was about to cut off his head, fortunately Surdak arrived in time, the shining saber pierced into the eye socket of the skeleton, and before Surdak pierced another soul fire, the shining saber was like an invisible suction, instantly sucking two points of soul fire into the blade, The entire skeleton immediately turned into a pile of broken bones and scattered all over the ground.

The young nobleman who was desperate to survive was stunned by Surdak's sword, and he didn't know how to dodge when he saw Surdak's shining saber in his hand stabbing at him.

The shining saber was attached to the young nobleman, and a soft holy light poured into the young nobleman's body......
