Chapter 31: Counteroffensive (6)
Although the Lord's Mansion in Memphis built in the town of Sword Furnace is huge, it is not a castle after all, even if many building standards are made to the specifications of the Lord's Castle, but the size is not comparable to the authentic castle in any way.
And Kemat, as a swordsmith in the Sword Furnace Town, didn't know how many times he had been to this lord's mansion before, although he couldn't say that he had complete control over the internal structure, it was still no problem to lead a way inside, plus now that there was no delay from the undead berserker war demons, even with a team of hundreds of people, the speed of everyone's progress was still fast.
Seeing Mino's corpse again on the road, and seeing the hero's corpse, the two warriors who had been out by Mino stood up by themselves, found a bed board from a room and carried Mino on the road together.
Mino's exploits cannot be erased, and those two warriors have only been seriously injured before, although they are better now, but they are only able to act, and there is no problem of losing two combat power at all, so although such an act will cause some hindrance to the battle, but the leaders such as Kotema still acquiesced in the behavior of the two warriors.
And after such a play, the heroic sacrifice of the vanguard and Mino's before was spread throughout the team for a while, and the soldiers lamented the courage of the vanguard and Mino, and at the same time, the fighting spirit became more and more high, and the blood was surging all over the body, and there was quite an impulse to kill the enemy bravely to avenge the sacrificed heroes, and the speed of progress increased by a few points.
However, what puzzled them was that the vanguard was almost wiped out here, but for some reason, except for Mino's body found at the beginning, they never saw a single corpse, only the remains of weapons scattered on the road and the faintly visible bloodstains could make them imagine a little bit of the fierceness of the previous battle.
However, the immediate priority now is to rush in and kill Memphis, so although this anomaly is surprising, they don't have too much entanglement in Kotema.
I really want to solemnly put away the hero's corpse, after the battle is over, there is time to do this, if it weren't for the two warriors who took the initiative to carry Mino's corpse, they would have also been hidden and waited for the battle to come back and bury it solemnly.
Familiar with the route, unhindered, and not slow, the counterattack team passed through the group of houses in front of the lord's mansion that the vanguard had failed to complete with their lives, and entered the middle of this huge mansion.
It is no longer narrow and compact, and with the exception of a few necessary pillars and a few walls, it is completely contiguous in structure.
Unlike the houses outside, which were provided for servants to live in, this was the dining and ballroom of the Lord's Palace, and sometimes a storage room for goods.
In the old days, there would have been a long wooden table that was perfectly put together, and the walls on either side would have some beautiful decorations and frescoes, and a large number of boxes piled up in the corner, indicating that there was something else to do here.
At the rare ball time in the Lord's Palace, long wooden tables and chests are removed, and the treasured expensive decorations and rarely used musical instruments appear here, providing a lavish atmosphere for courtesans, the rich and powerful, and the occasional nobleman.
But now all the things that were familiar to Kotma were gone, and there was nothing left in the eyes, except for the hazy ghostly altar in the center and the blood-stained walls around it, allowing visitors to understand what role this place was playing now.
However, this place was not empty, the undead berserker who had slaughtered the entire elite of the vanguard, and then stubbornly delayed the progress of the trio of sixth-level veteran warriors, was standing on the altar, the black spear was still sharp, and the eyes that appeared through the gaps in the armor were calm and dead, as if the previous humiliating battle had not happened at all.
Around him was an army of skeletons dressed in various clothes, they were standing in the center of the crowd, and after seeing the entry of Kotema and the others, their behavior patterns did not change too significantly, as if they were not undead creatures who swore to kill at all.
In fact, it is true, these skeletons are not so much undead creatures, but mutant living dead, and their bodies are also filled with abyssal demonic energy from the abyss rather than the death power of the underworld, and the reason why they exist in the form of skeletons is simply because the flesh and blood have been harvested by the flesh harvesting ritual.
Therefore, most of the clothes on the skeletons are still intact, and they have not been corroded by the power of death like the undead creatures, and although they are stained with blood, it is not difficult to recognize their original appearance.
Many skeletons are wearing the clothes of the lord's mansion, and there are even several skeletons with a fluffy chef's hat on their heads, which is funny at the same time, which makes people feel a great sense of sadness.
Obviously, these skeletons were originally serving the lord's mansion, or the subordinates of Memphis, and the blood stains in those rooms outside were from these skeletons, looking at the holes in the clothes of these skeletons one after another, it was not difficult for the warriors to imagine what kind of scene it was.
While Memphis was leading the newly converted living dead to hunt down the survivors, a tragic massacre was also going on in the lord's mansion, and one after another servants who had been serving Memphis with all their might were caught by the reapers recruited by their master's magic circle that they had laid down a long time ago.
They howled, they mourned, they begged for mercy, but to no avail, the slayer who had no sense of self-reflection took their lives mercilessly, taking away their flesh and most of their flexibility to feed the demons.
And the remaining body was also desecrated by the evil people, driven by the magic circle, with the murderer who killed him as the leader, to do the last effort for the evil who mercilessly took his life.
What's more important is that most of these people were selected from Sword Furnace Town, and even some of the maids were the girlfriends and fiancées of the soldiers present, seeing those who had a deep relationship with each other day and night being treated so cruelly, many warriors from Sword Furnace Town had red eyes.
And the dozens of skeletons were wearing the armor worn by the pioneers before, and the identity of the injured sword was either complete or broken.
These heroic pioneers are all elites selected from various mercenary groups, they are all brothers, younger brothers, friends, juniors and even fathers and teachers of the soldiers present, seeing their relatives and friends after their heroic sacrifices, their bodies will be desecrated, and they will soon be forced to fight with themselves, and the foreign soldiers from the mercenary group are also angry.
And the skeletons also killed the warriors with murderous intent with a roar of anger after the undead berserk war demon discovered the counterattacking team.
