Act VII: The Speed of Life and Death

"Sea ...... Master Hagrid!"

Suddenly a trembling and frightened voice rang from the magic communicator in the conference room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yes...... There is an enemy attack! There is no communication with the outside world!"

"Now we are at war with the enemy, but ...... It may not be supported for long. ”

Hagrid's face changed.

To make the well-trained Knights Templar with divine power so embarrassed, the enemy is definitely not an ordinary person!

"Retreat first! If you can't retreat, try to delay the time to organize a defensive line!"

"Understood!"

The other party replied and cut off the communication.

But Hagrid was still worried.

It is true that the Knights Templar are the elite of the elite, but with the unification of faith throughout the continent of Igura more than 10,000 years ago, the strength of the Knights Templar is also shrinking. The Knights Templar, which once numbered in the tens of thousands, now have no more than a hundred troops. It is more than enough to deal with ordinary events, but once such an unexpected situation occurs, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of overstretching.

However, at this time, the communicator was actually connected again.

"......Master Hagrid! We can't stop it!"

Such words filled everyone present with incredulity!

"Who exactly is the enemy!the numbers, and the current battle situation!"

Hagrid said almost with a roar.

"The enemy is...... Ghouls! Well-armed and well-trained, there are at least a thousand ghouls!"

Cold sweat instantly soaked Hagrid's back.

......

"Damn! Stabilize the formation! Everyone must block the attack and buy time for Master Hagrid's deployment!"

Jaeger said, a sword splitting in half a lone ghoul who had gone too far too far.

However, his efforts to lead by example have had little effect.

"No...... It's impossible to stop......! These ghouls are not the same as we've met before! Not at all! Not at all like those clumsy guys! This is an army! An army of a thousand people who are not afraid of death! An army of thousands of people who feed on people!"

Newly promoted to Templar rank, Pyris had already dropped his weapon and shivered in a corner.

This despair spread like a plague, and the entire front was shaky.

But just when it was about to collapse, unexpected reinforcements appeared!

"I knew you dead imps couldn't be trusted!

Bob, the one-armed groom, Reiner, the Scarface cook, and even Clark, the dung dumper with only one leg left, use two spears as crutches to burst into battle from behind the ghoul troops!

These scarred old fellows actually have another identity - retired Templars!

"Born with glory! Die with honor!"

"My heart is like my sword!

Chanting the oath he took to become a Templar, it was like years ago, and there was a battle between life and death!

"Little bastards, if you don't want to be kicked in the ass by these old guys, take up arms and fight me!

Jaeger shouted, stirring up the renewed flame of hope.

Even if this flame is not dazzling, just half a candle-like light, but in the endless dark night, there is an unexpected brilliance!

"Kill!"

Under the renewed fighting spirit, and with the advantage of the front and rear attacks, the Templar front, which had been almost collapsed, was actually re-stabilized!

"A bunch of idiots, actually suppressed by a bunch of old garbage!"

Luke, who had planned to be in the middle, suddenly drew his dagger, jumped into the air, and pounced straight at the rear army.

"Little cub! Let you see the power of old trash!"

The one-legged Clark said, and after picking off a ghoul with a single shot, he stabbed Luke in the heart with a single shot.

Luke writhed his body twice in mid-air, avoiding his heart and letting the spear pierce his abdomen, then he grinned and grabbed the spear and kicked Clek in the neck.

Let go, lean back, dodge.

Clarke, who had only one leg left, used another spear to make this series of movements, and his agility did not look like a cripple at all.

However, when he landed, a head with a frightened expression on its face rolled from his neck to the ground.

The next moment, Luke pounced on Scarface Chef Reiner directly from behind and bit off his neck in one bite!

"Reiner! Clark!"

Bob roared, raised his Holy Cross longsword and slashed through a field of ghouls, and went straight to Luke to kill him.

"Yo yo, impatient fool to death!"

Luke roared excitedly and raised his dagger to meet Bob.

But at the moment when he was about to make contact, a mutation suddenly occurred!

"Bump!"

Old Bob fell, was pulled by his feet by the ghoul who had been lying on the ground, lost his balance and fell!

However, the reason why he actually fell was not because he was pulled by his feet.

After a hundred battles, he is actually fully capable of annoying the ghoul and restabilizing his body before he falls to the ground.

And the reason why he didn't...... It's Scarface Chef Reiner and One-Legged Cleck who hold him up!

Unbelievable!

What should have been at least a few hours of transition, but he became a ghoul in the blink of an eye?

This is completely beyond the scope of old Bob's knowledge!Moreover, the Templars are believers in the goddess of light, and their bodies are nourished by the power of light all year round, so it is impossible for them to be corrupted by the power of the Night Clan and become ghouls!

And in such a moment's moment, he fell, fell on the dagger that Luke had already placed on the ground, and his throat was cut.

Hope was snuffed out, the light was extinguished, and the comrades who had just died in battle got back on their feet and pounced on themselves as ghouls......

"Kill them all!"

Luke's words were the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the battle line in the hall on the first floor of the castle where the Knights Templar was stationed collapsed and completely fell!

Looking at the Templars, who were constantly being overwhelmed and torn apart by the wave of ghouls, Luke exhaled a sigh of relief and said with a grim smile on his face, "The victory of Raippi's torture is ......"

"It's so cool!hahahaha!"

At this moment, the entire hall was filled with nothing but the chaotic chewing sound of ghouls, and all that was left was Luke's mad laughter.

??????

"A well-armed, well-trained army of ghouls?"

Hagrid muttered under his breath.

"Hagrid, now is not the time to think about these questions! The safety of our lord is the most important, and we should have the highest priority of refuge!"

Count Ryan roared in a terrified voice.

Most of the lords' performance can barely be called calm, but from the fact that no one has spoken out to refute it, it can be seen that their thoughts are actually no different from those of Earl Lane. Even the hot-tempered and ferocious Earl Quint frowned deeply, as if he was thinking about something, and did not continue to insult Count Ryan as a "stupid pig".

However, in the face of such pressure, Hagrid still looked like a scoundrel in the past, ignoring the strong demands of the lords, and even took out his sterling silver flask and took a sip, and then pressed the communicator and ordered: "All the members of the Knights who are still fighting report the battle." ”

However, he was responded to by a completely unfamiliar voice.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me, please answer!"

Hagrid was stunned.

"Hmm, can't you hear it, or are you too scared to say it?"

The voice spoke arrogantly, and then no longer paying attention to whether anyone had responded, and began to talk to itself.

"Listen to all of you of the Radiant Council, now, I will report my name!"

"We are the invincible Kaledin brothers! I am my brother Luke, please take care of me. ”

"And then it has to be said that the taste of the Templars was really delicious, thanks for the hospitality. ”

"Well, don't worry, I'll leave you poop as a souvenir!"

"Then a final announcement, we're going to kill it now!"

"Have you ever been to the toilet? I don't like to eat noisy things!"

"Have you prayed to your goddess of light, and are you expecting a miracle to come and save you?"

"Of course, the most important thing is that no matter what, please don't forget, tremble with fear in the corner of the room, practice begging for mercy, maybe I will be moved, and kill you directly, instead of killing after torture, and then continue to play with your corpses! Oh! Just like this eyeball-popping head in my hand now! Oh! Blood! A lot of blood has spurted on me! It's so cool! Hahahaha!"

After laughing, communication was cut off.

Hagrid's face remained the same, but the pinched silver flask in his hand revealed the true state of his heart.

"What the hell is going on, Hagrid, the ghouls will attack the Templar Knights directly. And the other party obviously knows that we lords are here...... Did the information leak?"

Count Quint looked directly at Hagrid.

Hagrid, on the other hand, threw away his sterling silver flask, pressed the magic communicator directly, and said, "Colt, are you still alive?" ”

This time, there were no surprises, and Colt's slightly old and hoarse voice echoed throughout the conference room.

"Underground, in Wooger's room. ”

Such a response came to a sigh of relief for almost everyone, which proved that at least the enemy had not yet completely captured the castle.

......

Underground of the Knights Templar's castle, inside Wood's Chambers.

Colt said to the magic communicator, "The magic communicator can't send magic signals to the outside world, so that means that even the nearest papal palace and the Inquisition will take at least four to five hours for reinforcements to arrive. Moreover, no one can guarantee that they will be so punctual, right? Then, using the existing forces, holding the conference room, and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack is the only option. ”

Hagrid didn't object, but said directly: "There is only one way to the conference room, which means that you just need to guard the door." Then, it will be more than enough for you and Vuger to come over and guard, while Stitch is in charge of the attack. ”

Colt was in favor of Hagrid's tactics, but he said, "Then there's only one question left now...... In a castle full of ghouls, how do Wu Ge and I get to the conference room?"

"You are the last 'god killer' in the history of the Igura Continent, how can a mere ghoul stop you, figure it out yourself. Also, those filthy maggots are happily eating my knights, and I don't want one to be thrown in the trash in its entirety afterwards!" Hagrid cut off the communication.

And Colt moved his shoulders a little helplessly, and said, "That was six thousand years ago, can't you understand the old man's hard work?"

Immediately, Colt pulled out the sword of the Holy Cross, which was as smooth as new, from his waist.

"Whew!"

Stitch whistled and said with a little excitement, "Can you see the 'Colt the Godslayer' that made me fight happily six thousand years ago?"

Colt waved his hand very modestly and said, "Where, wasn't I defeated in the end?"

Listening to the conversation between the two people, Wooger suddenly felt that his head was a little insufficient.

What exactly was the relationship between Stitch and the Knights Templar?

However, before he could figure it out, Stitch had already stepped into the shadows and disappeared without a trace.

And Colt patted Woolger's back and said, "The old man and the rookie are the perfect interpretation of experience and vitality, and we set off." ”

"But how do we get there?" said Wooger, puzzled.

"Of course it's to kill, is there a simpler and more effective way than that?"

Colt said, and in Wooger's stunned gaze, he walked straight up with his sword.
