Chapter 8: The Fierce Battle in the Dead of Night (I)

Although it was almost time for reinforcements to arrive, Mino couldn't breathe a sigh of relief like the others, not only because the crisis always came at the last moment when everyone breathed a sigh of relief in countless stories, but also because of the existence of the strange factor that has never been known, this strange event that made the undead creatures do countless strange things that went against their instincts, and even the strange event that was most likely the source of the appearance of wild undead creatures was like a long thorn, deeply rooted in Mino's heart, so that he could not rest assured.

Lying on the bed thinking about all kinds of possible dangers, guessing the true face of the strange source, and even thinking about his future path, Mino couldn't sleep, and finally rubbed his smooth blonde hair in annoyance, and after rubbing them into a mess, he sighed helplessly, Mino's clothes were put on again, and he took the big sword he used to practice, and walked quickly into the yard like the first thing he got up every morning.

In such a night, standing alone in the courtyard, Mino stroked the big sword that had accompanied him for nearly ten years, felt the lines on it that had been soaked by his sweat countless times over the years, and danced slowly and silently, not like when he practiced every morning, nor with the matching unique breathing method, but more like a sword dance like a performance.

Dancing his sword alone in this moonless night, Mino had a hunch that, as in countless stories, the undead would definitely return tonight to give the town of Tarssi the final test, so he worked hard to adjust his state, ready to fight to the death for the safety of his sister and other relatives.

Just like this, a person danced the sword quietly, and I don't know how long it took, just when Mino fell into a state of self-forgetfulness, a cold energy fluctuation suddenly swept through his body, and the chaos and guilt contained in it made people's hearts palpitate, and what was even more terrifying was the pure death silence contained in the fluctuation, as if the eyes of the lord of the underworld and the god of death were staring at you without any fluctuations, which made people creepy and forcibly took Mino out of the trance.

Hearing the undisguised exclamation of her sister Mina in the room, Mino knew that what she felt just now was not an illusion, but it didn't matter anymore, at the moment when Mina's exclamation came into her ears, Mino rushed back to her room as fast as she could as fast as a dog chased her, threw the big sword in her hand to the corner of the wall, and crawled into the already cold bed.

Just behind Mino's quilt to cover himself, Mino's door was opened with a squeak that had just been closed for less than a minute, and the bright yellow light of the magic crystal lamp shone into the dim room, and Mina, who was wearing pajamas with the magic crystal lamp, entered the room quite panickedly, looked at Mino on the bed, exhaled lightly, and showed a reassuring smile.

"What's the matter, sister, can't you sleep?"

When he opened his eyes in time, Mino's sleepy eyes looked like he had just woken up, which perfectly deceived Mina's eyes.

"No, the evil fluctuation just now, you must have felt it, right? ”

"That's right, when I was sleeping in Zhengxiang, I was suddenly shrouded in that kind of malicious fluctuations, and I was so scared that I woke up all of a sudden. ”

"Xiaonuo, you also feel it, sister, I really didn't feel wrong, I thought it was the undead who came to attack us again, but after waiting for a while, I didn't hear the bell on the other side of the city wall, nor did I feel any movement in the town, probably a fluctuation that only a mage can feel." ”

Remembering the bone-chilling feeling she felt when she was shrouded in that fluctuation just now, as if she was about to die, Mina patted her chest and was afraid, and the little rabbit that was beginning to take shape jumped up under the slapping of Mina's little hand, making Mino blush and move his eyes away.

"Well, it's probably the undead in the mountains who are doing some small moves, I don't know why, these most efficient undead creatures are doing some useless work, but it's thanks to all these wrong decisions they have made, so that we can persist until now, as long as we wait until tomorrow when reinforcements arrive, even if they suddenly wake up, it's too late. "Yes, as long as the reinforcements arrive tomorrow, everything will be over, and when the undead are eliminated, we can go back to the village to finish our mother's funeral, and then wait for Aunt Kashya and Lana to come back." “

After chatting with Mino for a while, Mina's fear caused by the fluctuation slowly receded, and the drowsiness returned, and Mina, yawning, said goodnight to Mino and prepared to go back to sleep. "Bell~Bell~Bell~Bell~"

Just when Mino was secretly relieved that he was finally going to hide from his sister, a rapid bell rang from the city wall, and Mino subconsciously lifted the quilt and jumped up, seeing his fully armed brother, Mina's eyes widened, and her cute little mouth uncontrollably turned into an 'O' shape.

Seeing his sister's expression now, Mino knew that he had practiced swords in the yard before, and the fact that he hadn't slept well had been revealed, but now that the situation was urgent, Mino couldn't take care of these anymore, put on the leather armor given by Grandpa Conseil, put on the big sword he had used for nearly ten years on his back, and then hung the ordinary iron sword he took from Yeren's house on his waist, and Mina pulled Mina, who had not come to his senses, and hurriedly ran to Grandpa Conseil's house not far away.

At this time, Grandpa Conseil's house was also in chaos, during this time, Grandpa Conseil, who was invited by the mayor to be his deputy, had already gone straight to the city wall, and the disheveled Yeren was busy wearing his equipment, and Sister Yelai and Grandma Conseil, who were wearing pajamas like Mina, were helping him.

"Hey, Mino, I ............"

Seeing the arrival of the two Mino siblings, Yeren was about to say something, but was blocked by Mino's hurried words.

"Yeren, you listen to me, you don't go to the battle for a while, you put on all the equipment, and then work with Sister Yelai and them to pack up some clothes, dry food and small things as much as possible, and then don't go anywhere at home, understand?"

"I understand, but Mino, why ............"

"There is no why!"

Hearing that Mino actually didn't let him participate in the war, Yeren thought that he thought he was weak in combat and was about to refute it, but he was yelled back by Mino with a serious face.

"Grandpa Conseil and I are both ranked warriors, so we have to go to the battle, Yeren you are just a level 0 mage apprentice, no different from ordinary people on the battlefield, if you don't go, others won't say much. ”

"As a mage apprentice, I think you also felt the fluctuation just now, tonight's undead attack will be fierce beyond our imagination, Tarsi Town is likely to be unable to hold it, you are the only man in the family, the two sisters and Grandma Conseil's will be handed over to you, and when everyone goes to the city wall, you will take your sister and them to the edge of the town to wait, and then keep an eye on the city wall, if you see a ball of light with illumination being thrown into the sky, you will use amplification to inform everyone that the town is about to be undefended, and then take your sister and they will run towards Houston City。 ”

"Houston City's reinforcements will arrive tomorrow, as long as you do what I say, you will definitely be able to meet them before being caught up by the undead, you must do as I say, sister, I will entrust it to you, if I really won't come, please take care of her on my behalf, and don't let me down, okay Xiaoren?"

Although there are a lot of things to say, but looking at the sincerity and perseverance revealed in Mino's eyes as clear and transparent as the blue lake, Yeren couldn't say anything, his eyes were red, he looked directly into Mino's eyes, and squeezed out a good word from between his teeth.

"Brother, don't go, Mom is already gone, if Mino, you leave again, what will you do if I leave alone? Please, I will treat it as my sister, stay." ”

"I swore it, sister, I will definitely do my best, even if it is to lose my life, I will protect you and Sister Yelai, against the army of the undead, if there is no location, even for a second I can't delay, but on the city wall I can hold out ten times longer!

Seeing that Yaren had agreed to his request, Mino patted him on the shoulder with relief, and ran towards the city wall without looking back, despite the obstruction of Mina and Yelai, who were in tears on the side.

Watching Mino's immature but extremely resolute back gradually disappear into the darkness, large tears dripped uncontrollably from Yeren's eyes, and when Mino's back disappeared completely, Yeren wiped away the tears on his face, gritted his teeth and began to act according to Mino's instructions.

Mino, my best brother, you must come back alive, a person like me who has no ability and likes to talk big, how to do good things without your help, I am still waiting to drink the wedding wine of you and my sister in the future, and I am not allowed to let my expectations be disappointed, you know?

............

Due to the delay for a while, when Mino rushed to the city wall, the army of the undead was already about to reach the base of the city wall, looking at the white sea outside the town that was several times larger than the last time, especially the thirteen tall figures standing like a flock of chickens in a large clearing in the middle, Mino gasped, a skeleton lord and twelve skeleton knights with spears! A fifth-level undead creature twelve fourth-level undead creatures, and a full thirteen intermediary undead creatures with low-level intelligence.

Looking at the many skeleton archers mixed in the white sea, Mino felt a chill spread through his body, and subconsciously shivered.

Grandpa Conseil is next to the mayor of the town, which is not a place for him to stand, and Mino is trying to find Tucker, the deputy leader of the rocket mercenary group who takes good care of him, when the attack of the undead creatures begins, and the city wall is suddenly in chaos, looking for someone or something is a complete joke, and Mino can only participate in the battle on the spot.

After all, they are just wild undead creatures, although they are more numerous and stronger, but there are still no siege equipment, so they can only honestly use the same 'human' ladder tactics as last time.

But if you think that before the stone rolling wood is not consumed, there will be a slightly easier time like the last time, and you can eliminate thousands of undead without much effort, then you are very wrong, the sharp arrows shot by the skeleton archers are not vegetarian, even if the skeleton archers are not high, just one round, there are more than thirty unsuspecting warriors who were shot, nearly ten of them were hit by the vital point, fell to the ground without saying a word, and the rest were also seriously injured, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Watching the bone arrows that he had grazed from the side of his face at close range digging deep into the bricks behind him, and listening to the screams that rang out one after another, Mino swallowed and warned himself that he must not be shot by these bone arrows.

Although the soldiers after were on guard, but after the throwing of the rocks and logs, there were still nearly fifty casualties, accounting for one-sixth of the nearly three hundred soldiers defending the city, but the undead who could be killed were only a small part of the undead army, followed by more difficult hand-to-hand combat, the danger of which can be imagined, the town of Tassi, is in danger!
