It's late autumn, and the town of Skull is bleak, with dead wood leaves falling everywhere and the evening breeze sending gusts of "whirring" The sound seems to be pouring out wordless sorrow, the surrounding houses are dilapidated, the walls, windows and doors are covered with terrifying scratches and bloodstains, showing the horror that happened here not long ago, the sudden sound of footsteps, there is a palpitating loneliness in this uninhabited town, the patrol team walks on the quiet streets, looking around vigilantly, everyone's nerves are already tense to the extreme, and the smell of blood in the air is very uncomfortable.

Ye Chui held the long sword in his hand, walking in the middle of the team, his mind was uneasy, this town should have at least tens of thousands of people stationed, I don't know why it is empty now, like a ghost town.

Before entering Skull Town, Bedwick had already asked Balmain and another city lord guard to sneak into the city to investigate, and had already confirmed that there was no sign of any living people in the town, and Balmain also confirmed that this situation should have happened in two or three days, a fierce monster attacked the town, and almost instantly destroyed the entire town.

"This is already a large-scale Demon Beast attack......" Bedwick no longer had the usual leisure mood, looked at the shocking scene around him, and said to a person beside him, "Bernard, quickly use the Red Eagle to contact the City Lord's Mansion, we need assistance!" He paused and continued, "Skull Town is a foothold for mercenaries, half of the tens of thousands of people here have extraordinary combat power, but now they have been slaughtered, this is not an event that a dozen of us can handle!"

"Yes, Lord Bedwick!"

The swordsman named Berner hurriedly took out the banknote, quickly wrote down the message, and took out a bright red beast from the cage tied to the horse, the size of a pigeon in the previous life of the leaf hanging, but with a sharp beak and claws, similar to the shape of the falcon, this is the red eagle used as a means of communication on the continent of Egendas.

Bernard put the written note into the bamboo knuckle on the red eagle's leg, and the red eagle spread its wings like an arrow from a string and flew in the direction of Stan, so fast that it disappeared in an instant.

"Even if Stan City sends foreign aid, it will not arrive until early tomorrow morning, and we must be prepared for any danger during this time!" Bedwick looked around and issued an order, "Damon, you are familiar with this place? Very good, it is up to you to choose the most suitable place to be stationed, Balmain, you take some people to conduct a detailed search in the town to confirm if there are any living mouths, if necessary, find out what kind of monsters are coming, and the rest of the people stay behind and warn them with a whistle when they encounter danger." ”

"Yes, Lord Bedwick. ”

"Understood. ”

Damon and Balmain spoke, following Bedwick's orders.

Skulltown is a very small town, the houses in the town are scattered and poorly built, except for one building in the middle of the street, which is quite large, which is a garden-top building, which is completely different from the other dilapidated houses, and the materials used for construction are also made of hard magic steel, which is where Damon chose to be stationed: "This is the church, and it should be the most suitable place to defend in the whole town." ”

"Twenty years ago, I still remember when the church laborers moved people to build a church in Skulltown, and at that time I secretly complained that the big people in the church were too willful, and now it seems that the existence of this church is in our favor. Bedwick said, pulling a short sword from his waist, holding it in his backhand, and pushing open the church door.

It was already dark at this moment, there was no light in the church, and there was a bloody dampness and a rotten stench in front of him, Bedwick frowned and stepped into it.

Torches were lit, and patrols were inevitably sleeping in the wild wind, which must have been indispensable.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "fluttering" and "fluttering" in the air, densely packed, as if something was flying around in the church.

"It's a blood bat! A first-order demonic beast has very low combat power, but it likes to live in groups and is bloodthirsty, so it will be very troublesome if it appears in a group...... someone shouted in surprise.

And almost the next moment he spoke, the Bedwicks had already rushed into the church, and a little cold light erupted from his body, followed by a numbing hiss in the air, and then the sound of "crackling" objects falling to the ground - this is the swordsman's advanced attack skill [Waltz of the Stars], this is a group attack skill, which can instantly burst out with hundreds of starlight attacks, which is the most suitable for dealing with swarms of blood bats.

What's more, Bedwick is a seventh-order high-level swordsman, and this skill can show the strongest strength with half the effort under his hands, and the numbing blood bats that inhabit the church have all been cut down by his skill!

"Come in, there's no danger here. In the gloom of the church, Bedwick's voice rang out.

The rest of the crowd entered the church with torches and other lighting equipment.

The interior of the church is very spacious, the surrounding walls are full of exquisite images, that is, the portraits of the seven gods enshrined in the church, the seats where the believers listen to the holy sound are scattered on the ground, and in the open space in front of him, there is a skeleton sitting cross-legged on the ground, judging from the clothes on his body, it should be a priest, who has been drained of his blood by blood bats.

Bedwick was standing solemnly and looking at it.

This is the first human body ever seen in Skull Town, but it is presented to everyone in such a terrifying way.

"Ephia, have your previous patrols been so exciting?" Debbie, who had entered the church, quietly approached Ephia's side and asked in a trembling voice.

"How come? In the past, patrols only had to patrol the surrounding grasslands, and Skull Town rarely came, let alone encountered such a large-scale demonic beast attack......" Efia replied, and from her voice, you could tell that he was nervous now.

"Don't be afraid. Ye Chui's voice rang out, and he walked between the two girls, trembling and saying, "I will protect your ......"

Ephia's nervous expression softened a little.

Then she heard Ye Chui continue: "...... Debbie. ”

His words were addressed to Debbie......

"You don't want to protect me?" asked Ephia, a little angry.

"Oh, and you. Ye Chui said a little perfunctorily.

What's the deal with this kind of tone that seems to be in passing!?

Ephia muttered angrily, "I don't need you to meddle in my business, I'll protect myself!"

"That's just right. Ye Chui moved closer to Debbie, "Debbie, don't worry, no matter what danger you encounter, I will protect you." ”

Debbie: "...... Don't tremble before you speak. ”

Ye Hang: "......"

It is undeniable that this kind of atmosphere, like breaking into a ghost town in the silent night, made Ye Chui more or less unsettled, and his body was in a state of great over-vigilance - in short, he was a little scared, but the jokes with Debbie and Efia made him feel a little relaxed, and Debbie and Efia also looked much better - they were annoyed by Ye Chui.

"The foreign aid from Stan City should arrive tomorrow morning, just be alert to any danger before that......" After everyone made a simple deployment, and the unconscious man Atod they met on the road was also placed, Ye Chui looked at the cold and terrifying town through the door of the church, and thought secretly in his heart, clenching the long sword in his hand.

He now thanked Booth for his foresight and gave him a bunch of escape items, which he might be able to use now......

......

The sky was full of stars, laying a layer of starlight on the grassland at night, and a red shadow flashed through the sky like an arrow.

Suddenly, another black shadow suddenly pounced, like a black mist quickly swept the red shadow inside, the shadow figure stretched out in the air, it turned out to be a huge flying demonic beast, with a loud chirp from its mouth, and quickly fell into the grassland, its claws opened, it was a small red beast, it was the red eagle released by Skull Town to communicate!

The flying monster screamed a few times behind him, spread its wings, and flew into the starry sky again.

And behind it, in the starlit grassland, a pair of red eyes lit up and looked in the direction of Skull Town......
