Chapter 3: Lance's Fury
Then Lance saw a strange man in a black burqa rush out in front of him. www.biquge.info He holds a skeletal cane in his right hand and a cage covered in gray cloth in his left hand.
The black burqa seemed a little shabby. He hid his face deep in the darkness under the hood of his burqa. It seems to be full of mystery and ulterior. The cage on the left hand was about the size of a birdcage, and there seemed to be something beating inside. The "clang" sound of the iron cage shaking makes people fear the creatures inside.
Their cane is even more special, because although his cane is made of wood, the head of the cane is a human skeleton. The skeleton has a symbol carved into it, the symbol is a regular triangle with a circle inside, which seems to be some kind of symbol. Under the skeleton, two strings of various small bones are tied with red rope.
At this time, Lance, who had not yet reacted, suddenly heard Veronica shout in a panic: "Undead apprentice......!
But before Veronica could finish the word "run", she suddenly stopped screaming.
Lance suddenly felt a cold blade from his back on his neck. Then a sneering voice came from behind Lance: "Stinky boy, don't move, my dagger doesn't have long eyes." ”
It seems that he has been held hostage from behind.
And Lance also hurriedly looked at Veronica at this time, and Veronica was also flustered at this time. He saw that Veronica had also been stabbed in the neck. And the man behind him who threatened Veronica with a dagger was also wearing a black burqa like the undead apprentice with a skull cane. And in his hand was a dagger glowing with cold light. However, judging by their physical form, they should be human.
But what Lance didn't understand was why they were dressed like this, and they had to fight each other against their fellow citizens. Could it be that they are the demons that Veronica said?
Lance and Veronica's hands were then tied tightly behind their backs and their feet were tied. The three undead apprentices tossed them aside. After that, they put down what they were holding and happily rummaged through the loot they had captured.
"Cut! a broken sword, you boy, don't take anything of value, take a broken sword. As he spoke, one of the undead apprentices threw the broken sword in front of Lance with disdain, and suddenly the broken sword made a metallic crunch: "This thing will be buried for you when you die." ”
Lance glanced down at the broken sword in front of him. But at this time, he suddenly noticed a strange sight. It seemed that the pebbles pressed under the broken sword had been neatly split in half. Lance remembered that the pebbles here should have been intact just now. Could it be that the broken sword was split by the broken sword when it was thrown onto the pebbles?
And that undead apprentice didn't seem to notice this, as he was drawn aside by the exclamation of another undead apprentice.
Lance saw the exclamated undead apprentice pull out the piece of silk from Veronica's package, and said excitedly, "Boss, you see that I have found silk and made a fortune. ”
Then the other two necromancers ran over and looked at the piece of Lance's silk, and they danced with their hands and cried out in praise and excitement: "The treacherous and cunning Hand! However, we don't have those princes and nobles who like this here in the Metauk Demon Domain, so this can't be sold. ”
Another undead apprentice stared at the silk with a twinkle in his eyes and said, "It's okay, one day we sneak into the human city over there, sell it for a high price and bring it back! ”
"Who are they?" asked Lance, looking at the gang of lewd men with a look of disgust.
However, to Lance's surprise, he saw that Veronica's delicate face was full of disgust and disgust at this time, and scolded louder and louder: "They are traitors! bandits! mongrels! shameless bastards! They used to be humans, but they took refuge in the demons, and then they were driven by them to slaughter their own people." They all have a disgusting name, the Metu! A dog-legged who has taken refuge in the evil god Metuk! Everyone should be condemned, and every one of them should be crucified!"
When he saw Veronica, who was originally shy and gentle in Lance's heart, scolding these undead apprentices so much, Lance also indirectly knew that these undead apprentices were not a good thing, and they must be full of evil.
"I'm a traitor? At this time, the undead apprentice who was the leader walked over and said disdainfully: "This world is originally the law of the jungle, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Follow those human kings and lords who only care about their own interests, sooner or later they will perish, it is better to follow the demons to eat fragrant and drink spicy. Whoever is strong, we should take refuge in whomever we want, is it wrong?"
When Lance heard this, the corners of his mouth lifted, and he sneered and said, "What do you mean, the one with milk is a mother? Then you drink milk every day, why don't you recognize a cow as your master?"
The leader of the undead apprentices was furious: "Red-eyed boy, who the hell are you talking about?"
Lance snorted and sneered, "Grandpa, of course I mean you, good grandson." Why do you recognize me as your grandfather now? You're so undisciplined...... aren't you?"
"Smack!" Hearing this, the enraged leader of the undead apprentices kicked Lance in the face. Suddenly Lance felt like the world was spinning. Vaguely Lance heard Veronica on the side scolding the undead apprentice for being a "bastard, a traitor" or something, and at the same time asked Lance about the situation worriedly.
"Lance, are you alright?
"Veronica, I'm fine......" said Lance spit out a mouthful of blood oozing from his mouth, and then looked at Veronica with a smile and teased: "Grandson beats grandpa, how can grandpa be angry? Don't meet these juniors!"
"Ai?!, you red-eyed stinky boy......"
The leader of the undead apprentices was about to rush forward in a rage and continue to fight Lance. At this time, another undead apprentice walked over and hurriedly grabbed his already enraged leader. Then he looked at the difficult Lance with obscene eyes, and said to the leader: "Big brother! ”
The leader of the apprentices of the dead thought about it for a moment, so he asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
The undead apprentice showed a wicked smile and showed his white teeth: "Look at this woman, she looks so beautiful and beautiful. Our third brother can be regarded as a woman who has read countless women, and she is not a little stronger than the previous female prisoners who were taken captive. I'm afraid that in this Western continent, it is estimated that she is also one of the best beauties. Big brother, instead of being angry with the stones in this pit, it is better to humiliate him by playing with his woman, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone......?
At this time, the leader also looked at Veronica, and then showed a lewd smile, patted the undead apprentice on the shoulder and said, "Hey, hey, that's right, that's what I mean." Seeing that the little beauty is not very old, it is estimated that she has not been with this kid for a long time, maybe this little beauty is the first time. The patrol has also been suffocated in the past few days, just relaxing and relaxing. ”
It turns out that the leader of the undead apprentices has taken Veronica and Lance as lovers.
When Veronica heard this, she quickly stepped back in fright, and said in a panic, "What are you guys going to do?"
"Of course, it's for you to see what true shamelessness is. The leader said he was going to go up and get Veronica.
But suddenly, Lance, who was tied up with a rope on the side, exerted all his strength and leaped. Like a battering ram, it slammed into the stomach of the undead apprentice leader. Knocked the boss down directly.
"Don't you want to hurt Veronica, you bastards. Lance shouted angrily, even though his hands and feet were tied, he still had the will and ability to resist stubbornly.
"Oh! The leader was suddenly hit hard by Lance, and then fell to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain: ", you stinky boy, see how I clean you up! Brothers, hit me!"
Saying that, the three undead apprentices punched and kicked Lance, and they beat them in a disorderly manner, just to vent their anger and revenge. Suddenly the ground was dusty. Lance's nose and mouth were covered with blood mixed with dust. The wound on the shoulder bandaged was once again cracked, and blood gushed out, reflecting Lance's clothes.
Lance was already a little confused after being beaten at this time, and his body was basically unable to move. Veronica's sad cry rang in Lance's ears, "Please, don't fight." Stop! Lance, Lance ......"
Eventually, the angry beating stopped. The three of them crossed their waists, gasping for tired breath in their mouths, and looked at Lance, who had been beaten on the ground and couldn't move, with a mixture of disdain and tiredness in their eyes.
", I'm tired. The leader of the undead apprentices straightened up and spat at Lance's bloodied face in an exaggerated gulp. Then he stepped on Lance's face, and then kept rubbing his foot: "You are as weak as a maggot, and you are still fighting with us? Today, I'm going to show you what powerlessness is and what weakness is! Today I'm not only going to play with this little beauty, but I'm going to sell her to a brothel in our Metauk Demon Domain for everyone to play with. It's not just the Metu there, but the orcs and kobolds. I'm going to see how you save your woman!"
With that, the leader grabbed the panicked Veronica and threw her aside, then went up and began to tear Veronica's clothes.
"Don't! get out of here! rascal!" came Veronica's cries for help and the sound of her clothes being torn, while the two undead apprentices watched from the sidelines, sinister smiles on their lips.
Although at this time Lance had been beaten to the ground, covered in blood. The pain in his left shoulder was like thousands of knives cutting his own flesh. But Veronica's desperate cries for help pierced Lance's heart like needles. Lance knew that he couldn't lie like this anymore, and if his savior, Veronica, was bullied and he didn't do anything, then he was the real weakling.
So Lance's brain forced his body to regain control, and the cost was huge. At this time, not only did the body feel a huge pain of overload, as if the whole body was being electromedicated, but the brain also felt as if it had been twisted into a ball by something and torn apart.
Lying on the ground, Lance struggled to open his eyes and saw the broken sword thrown on the ground alone. He knew it was his only hope!
So he dragged his heavy body and struggled to move to the side of the broken sword like a caterpillar. Then the hands that were restrained behind kept trying to fumble for the broken sword. But many times I couldn't get it, and a few times I felt the coldness of the sword, but I didn't catch it.
At this time, the three undead apprentices who were busy on the side did not pay attention to the secret actions of this young man who had already been crippled by himself. Because Veronica's resistance was so strong, the three veterans couldn't cope with it for a while.
Lance tried to calm himself and closed his eyes.
For a moment, it was as if a consciousness seemed to suddenly break into its own consciousness and establish a wonderful connection. In the hollow darkness, the broken sword seemed to make an echoing little girl's voice, guiding Lance's hands to pick up the broken sword: "Listen to me!
"Woohoo!"
Lance managed to find the sword, and then the excited Lance cut it with his backhand, and the rope that bound his hands was easily cut, as if the rope was made of paper.
"Thank you!"
The immature female voice said, "It's okay, since you have spoken to me, then you only need to be responsible for me." ”
I didn't know what the female voice meant, but Lance couldn't care about it anymore, after all, the danger in front of him was the most important.
Lance hurriedly began to cut the rope that bound his legs. At the moment when the rope was cut, only a slap was heard, and Langston was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that the leader of the undead apprentices was furious. Because Veronica's resistance was so fierce, he had played with so many female captives by himself, and it was the first time he had seen such a fierce woman. So in a fit of rage, he slapped Veronica in the face.
Hearing this slap, Lance was completely angry inside, and his clenched right hand squeezed the hilt of the broken sword fiercely, and his teeth rattled with anger. Langston didn't feel any pain anymore, only the rage that raged into the sky, and Lance's dark red pupils seemed to be raging flames at this time, full of merciless murderous aura.
"Ahh
A cry of rage was like a clarion call for a battle charge. Lance got to his feet, and then, like a ballista, lunged forward, heading straight for the leader of the undead apprentice who had beaten Veronica. There was the sound of eager footsteps beneath his feet, and Lance's speed was so fast that the broken sword in his hand made an air-piercing sword groan.
Before the three undead apprentices could react. The leader of the undead apprentices felt a painful chill in his heart. He lowered his head slowly in surprise, only to see a broken blade with a cold light poking out of his chest.
The broken blade, which shimmered metallicly in the sunlight, was beautifully carved into it. The first thing he noticed was the pattern on the sword was that only the pattern on the blade was dyed red by the red liquid, which was particularly conspicuous. And the red liquid was "gurgling" like a mountain stream.
Seeing this, his hands began to tremble. He reached out his hand and touched the red liquid like a flood that burst the levee. At first glance, it was his own blood. Then his breathing became rapid. A low, cold voice came from behind him.
"That's how I saved my woman......"
After Lance finished speaking, the cold blade was pulled out with a "poof". The leader of the undead apprentices fell to his knees, his mouth squeaking and convulsing in pain, his face filled with fear, and finally he collapsed in despair and died in a pool of blood. When he died, the skull staff beside him suddenly shattered and exploded, turning into piles of powder and passing away with the wind.
When the leader of the undead apprentices fell, Lance saw Veronica with a surprised face, as if she was startled by the scene in front of her.
In fact, holding the skull staff, this is the mark of the most terrifying low-level apprentice of the undead legion under the command of the demons. The circle symbol in the middle of the regular triangle of the skull staff is also the emblem of the Legion of the Dead. It symbolizes that the planet Quiller is bound by death, disease, and suffering. The Undead Apprentice is actually the lowest level of demon mages, and is often responsible for resurrecting skeleton soldiers from the graveyard to serve as cannon fodder. Although they were the most magically powerful of the undead legions, their magic was more than enough to deal with the militia of the Menice garrison, not to mention the mortally wounded Lance. That's why Veronica was so surprised.
However, Lance was a newborn calf at this time, and was not afraid of tigers. At least for now, in Lance's opinion, these people will also bully the old, weak, sick and disabled, and have no other ability. In this way, Lance was psychologically contemptuous.
Lance smiled at Veronica and asked gently and caringly, "Veronica, is your face okay?" ”
Lance then saw Veronica have an emotional smile on her face, as if she was staring at her loved ones, much to Lance's surprise.
Veronica shook her head happily at this time: "It's okay, thank you." ”
After hearing Veronica's answer, Lance's face suddenly turned back to anger. He carried the broken sword stained with blood, and slowly turned around: "These brutes dare to beat you! I will make them pay the price of blood." ”
And the two necromancers on their side also came to their senses at this time.
"......" With a curse, an undead apprentice stabbed Lance directly with a dagger.
"Be careful!" called out Veronica, who was sitting on the ground, to warn Lance, but the dagger was already on Lance's chest.
