Chapter 656: The Curse of the Raven God
readx;?“ Does anyone want to guess what's inside?" Rogge glanced down at the big colorful box, turned back to the suspicious crowd behind him with interest, and said, "This is a welcome gift from our clown friend, does anyone want to come and open the package?"
"I'll open it, and the gift I got belongs to me!" The little furball fell next to the box and became a little Lori, pulling the ribbon tied into a bow on the top of the package with her hand, and after untying it, she turned around and ran behind Rogge, Rogge looked down to see what she was going to do, and the little Lori pointed with her little hand, and the lid of the box opened automatically.

Rogge subconsciously raised his head when he heard the sound of the box opening, and suddenly saw a hideous and terrible ugly face popping out of it, and pounced on him with teeth and claws.
Rogge squinted his eyebrows and stared blankly at the face, and when it bounced less than a centimeter in front of Rogge, it bounced back again, swaying on the box and making a weird scream.
"What a gift. Rogge shrugged his shoulders, looked down at the little Lori who was hiding behind him and holding his legs, and said, "Did you already know that it was this thing?"
"Clown box, when I used to live with Mrs. Louise, I used to make my own clown box, which was scary!" Little Lori looked up at him with a smug look on her waist and smiled.
"I knew nothing could be more intimidating than Beamon and Hydra. Rogge shrugged his eyebrows and snorted at Lori, turned to look at the still shaking clown box and muttered, "If I hadn't heard the sound of the spring fluttering, I would have almost punched you, man." ”
He turned around and picked up little Lori and came to Antonio's side, and the Knight Captain shook his head with a smile and said, "It looks like it's just a prank, but luckily nothing terrible pops out of it, you know, I mean the kind of thing that hurts." ”
"I wouldn't be surprised if that stuff actually popped up. Rog let Lilith's little ass sit on his shoulder, and carried her to look up at the sky, where the last of the moon was about to be hidden by dark clouds, and midnight was approaching.
Everyone looked up at the moon in the sky, and Antonio glanced at Rog and Mina and said, "Are you ready?" If the God of Ravens really only summons the two of you, then you will have to rely on yourselves. ”
"No, Captain, you're wrong. Rogge looked down at Mina beside him, and Mina also looked up at him, only to hear him say confidently: "There are far more than two people we can rely on, at least there are more than two people in Mina's entire village." ”
Mina couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard his words, but soon understood the meaning of his words, she nodded firmly, and suddenly heard a crow in the sky, and the whole town was suddenly plunged into darkness, the last moonlight in the sky disappeared, and the lights of the whole town were extinguished at the same time.
Everyone looked around in amazement, vigilantly watching the movements around them, and suddenly heard a knight not far away shouting weakly, and then collapsed to the ground, and everyone hurriedly turned around and ran to him, and before they could step forward to help him up, several priests on the other side fell to the ground one after another.
There was a burst of groans, and the knights and priests of the Knights and Priesthoods collapsed to the ground one after another, including Mina, who also collapsed weakly, but Rog, Antonio, Goethe, Catherine, Britney, and Tully were not affected in any way.
Several people hurriedly stepped forward to help the fallen companion, and Rog asked Tali and Monica to try to treat the fallen person, but the two girls examined the fallen person and found that they did not have any diseases or injuries, but their bodies were extremely weak and became dying.
"What's going on?" Rogge and Antonio helped several knights and priests to the wall under the bell tower and let them sit down with their backs against the wall, and looked back at the crowd of people lying down behind him in confusion, and said to Antonio after a little thought, "You and Catherine continue to take care of these people, and I will go to the people in the village to ask them for clarification." ”
He turned and galloped away with the little furball, but no matter how many streets he walked through the village, he did not find a single shadow of anyone, every house in the village was empty, the doors were open or closed, but there was no shadow of anyone inside, which gave Rogge a hint of foreboding.
He hurried back to the bell tower and told Antonio what he had discovered, and Antonio and Goethe, the high priest who was beside him, were surprised to hear the news, and Goethe frowned angrily and said, "Could we have fallen into the trap of that damned dark wizard?"
"Now it seems very likely. Antonio turned around and called Tali and Monica to his side and asked them about the soldiers, and both girls said that their physical condition had not changed, and that they had always maintained a state of near-death, neither worsening nor improving.
"Why don't we have any problems?" asked Antonio, skeptically.
"Maybe it's because we're not ordinary people. Rogge looked at him meaningfully.
Antonio looked back at him in surprise, unable to understand his words: "Not ordinary people? How can this be understood, if I and the High Priestess and Britney have powerful spells, and you and Tully, Lilith, and Monica are not human, then how can Catherine explain?"
"That child has been blessed by the three goddesses of the forest, my captain, she is not an ordinary girl. Rogge looked into his eyes with deep meaning, and Antonio suddenly realized, but asked, "That makes sense, but what does the god of crows want to do?"
"He could have killed these people," Rogge looked at the crowd lying and sitting in the corners and on the ground, and the lamp god was constantly carrying them to the wall, Rogge was silent for a moment, and continued, "But maybe this is just the beginning, he hasn't planned to kill them yet." ”
At this moment, the howling of crows echoed in the fields around the village, and everyone looked up at the gloomy sky in disbelief.
"Something seems to be going to happen, you stay here while Lilith and I go and see what's going on. Rogge asked the little furball to shrink himself and fly into the sky with him in the direction where the crows were entrenched.
When they came to the edge of the village and looked at the fields around the Raven Court, Rogge saw a startling scene: all the scarecrows in the field stood up and walked in the direction of the Raven Court with swords and shields in their hands, and the swords and shields in their hands were no longer the original wooden toys, but Xue Liang's real murder weapons.
"Oh, damn it, our trouble seems to be coming. Rogge gasped and bowed his head to Lilith and said, "Come on, little villain, we have to go back and tell the news, these scarecrows will kill the knights and priests, and those dying knights and priests will die if they are poked with their fingers, and we can't let the scarecrows get near them." ”
The little furball immediately turned around and flew back to the center of the Raven Court, falling back to the ground and turning Rog back to his original form, Rogge told Antonio and Goethe everything he saw, and the high priest frowned and said, "Lone wolf, now is not the time to sensationalize, just some scarecrows!"
"High Priest, I don't think your soldiers are capable of dealing with the Scarecrows, who are weaker than the Scarecrows right now. Rog said as he walked past the two of them, calling out to Catherine and Tully.
When they came to them, Rogge commanded, "Let the god of lamps prepare for Catherine to burn bullets and powdered gunpowder, the more the better." ”
"What are you going to do?" asked Tali, looking at him in surprise.
"There's no time to explain, hurry up and prepare, the more the better!" Rogge turned around and shouted Monica after speaking, and at the same time ran towards the intersection of the bell tower square towards the entrance of the village, Xiaohualing flew after him, and Rogge asked her to use the root whiskers to start sealing all the intersections from here, and the height of the root whisker wall should reach more than four meters.
While Monica blocked the intersection, Rog asked Lilith to reconnoiter the scarecrow's progress around the village, and then called Britney to the front and asked her to cast a spell on the inside of Monica's root wall to summon a bone wall that was the same height as the root wall.
"You're going to be our main force tonight, Miss Necromancer," Rog said to Britney with a solemn expression, "I hope your skeleton can be more turbulent than a scarecrow, so that we can protect the living who fall to the ground and cannot move, and defend life with death, which is what we must do." ”
Britney nodded solemnly, looking at the back of Rog striding away, and had an unprecedented impression of him, and at this time, the lamp god had already made a large number of powder kegs and incendiary bombs to the open space in the bell tower square according to Tali's instructions.
Rogge came to them and asked the lamp god to help Catherine carry all the bullets to the top of the bell tower, and he commanded Catherine: "Stay up there, and do not come down whatever happens, until I call you, and shoot all the bullets as best you can, and not let a single enemy enter this square." ”
Tightening on the strap of the Super Firebolt, Catherine nodded solemnly like a soldier on a mission, turned and ran briskly towards the clock tower, and Rog turned back and told Tali to keep an eye on the soldiers as much as she could, using the water shield to help them fend off possible attacks, lest their lives hang by a fatal blow.
"Sir, what are you going to do with these powder kegs?" asked Rogge as he looked at the large number of powder kegs piled up in the clearing, as he returned to Rog after delivering all the bullets.
"Send them to every junction, it's a gift to our enemies, hopefully they won't get a chance to receive this gift, but if they do come, we'll give them the Dragon's Breath as a gift. Rogge pointed to the piles of powder kegs and said to the god of lights.
The lamp god picked up the heavy powder keg and turned around and floated away, Rogge turned and walked to Mina, who was half-lying under the bell tower, and called softly, Mina opened her eyes and looked at him weakly, and asked in a weak voice, "Am I ...... Going to die?"
"You won't die, Mina," Rogge said with a firm look at her, "remember, we're here for revenge, our enemy has attacked before us, he knows what we're here for, but the first strike may not be able to control people, we'll survive tonight." ”
"Promise me," Mina raised a finger with what strength she had, and Rogge grabbed her hand and heard her say, "If I die, leave here with the rest of the people, and don't let more people die for me, it's not worth it." ”
At this moment, the little owl Lilith hurriedly landed on Rogge's shoulder, and cried out in panic: "Bad wolf, those scarecrows are coming, there are many, many of them, all wearing pumpkin heads, blocking all the roads!"
