Chapter 41: The Ghoul Plague (Part I)
"Stab them in the heart with a spear! If you want to live, cut off their heads! Otherwise, they won't be killed!"
Grabbing his weapon, Rhodes ran through the castle, shouting at the soldiers defending the city.
Many people heard it, however, fear prevented them from targeting each other's weaknesses, and many of the people in the castle had seen vampires for the first time, and when the terrifying dark creatures stood in front of them, they were already frightened and weak, and only veterans with excellent military qualities would not be at a loss.
Icy arrows flew through the air, but only a handful of them could hit vampires. Rhodes told them to dip the arrows in oil, light them on fire, and then draw their bows to shoot, and the vampires hated fire, even if they couldn't kill them, so they could be annoyed.
Walking through the long corridor, a castle guard in front of him was pounced on by a mourning wolf, biting hard, the head of the rotten mourning wolf pierced the yellow fangs into the castle soldier's body, and then tore violently, the soldier's throat was torn off, and blood gushed out, staining the rotting face of the beast.
With a roar, Rod threw his tomahawk at the bloodthirsty beast. As soon as the wolf reacted, he was smashed through the head by the whistling tomahawk, blood and water mixed with brains spurted out, with the anger of the warrior, Rod called his weapon, the thunder tomahawk like a loyal companion, swished out of the wolf's head, with a splash of blood, swirling in the air and flying back to Rod's hands.
Another wolf quickly pounced from behind, Rhodes grabbed the battle axe, roared, and pounced head-on, the slightest electric current thunderclaped in his ears, with anger and fanaticism, the moment they collided head-on, lightning flashed, Rhodes pounced on the beast like a giant bear, the tip of the Mithril battle axe pierced the wolf's chest, pierced the heart, and nailed it tightly to the stone wall like a fly. When it was pulled out again, the tomahawk was stained with the sticky blood of the beast and the shattered entrails.
A few minutes later, Rhodes rushed down the tower. The town square has been turned into a slaughterhouse, and even heavily armed soldiers can't stop the vampires. To be precise, the vampires who attacked Grizzly Bear were no longer humanoids, their bodies contorted into all sorts of disgusting shapes, their pale skin covered in abscesses, and some bony spur-like objects protruding from their backs, like ghouls......
Yes, they are ghouls. Crawling on all fours, the ability to sprint and jump over short distances is extremely strong, and the explosive power is several times that of ordinary humans.
Rhodes was about to charge when a layer of hoarfrost formed on the floor in front of him, and he knew that Caroline was coming......
Soon, the white frost swooped forward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and several bloodthirsty ghouls were turning their heads to pounce on Rhodes, but they were pierced through their bodies by the ice spikes that rose from the ground in an instant, like a frost blade stabbing out of the ground, nailing those crazy ghouls in place, because it was not fatal with knives, several ghouls were still kicking their limbs wildly after being pierced through their bodies, trying to break through the prison of frost. However, Rhodes strode forward, and axe by axe ended their short, dark lives.
At the other end of the square, a tall figure walked out of the deep alley, followed by a group of brave wolf warriors. The white moonlight shone on the brave wolves, who, with a beastly howl, roared and pounced on the ghouls in the square.
Rod knew that Yeskovich was coming. The shaman still held his signature wooden staff, as if it were a crude and simple wooden staff in his hand, which could have smashed a ghoul's head in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the dwarven butcher Bogur, wielding two small plate axes, rushed desperately towards the densest area of ghouls.
For a while, Grizzly Bear became the performance stage of Rhodes' team, magic arrows and battle axes danced in unison, and the roars of several people were no less than the shouts of all the Grizzly Fort soldiers.
Ghouls, low-level zombies fell to the swords and magic of several people. However, as they approached the center of the square, a giant monster that was significantly larger than the surrounding ghouls appeared in front of them. Beautiful book bar
The low-level ghouls who roared and scurried were about the size of normal humans, however, they were less than half the height of the giant monster. In the pale moonlight, Rhodes could vaguely see the monster's face, it looked like a giant standing ghoul, its muscles piled up into small balls of flesh, which looked stronger than the muscles of dwarves, and rows of bone spurs pierced out of their bulging backs, forming sharp dorsal fins like dinosaurs.
Like other ghouls, the beast had no armor on top and bottom, but its skin looked as hard as rock.
The only ornaments on their bodies were bones, yes, human skulls or the skulls of other animals, and the giant beast hung a dozen skulls from its belt, and each time it wielded a white bone warhammer, the bones on its body were cracked.
The white bone in its hand was more than a man tall, and the monster used this large, hard bone as a weapon, so much so that Rhodes suspected that it had been removed from the corpse of a dead mammoth, otherwise there would be such a large bone in the Old World.
Several Grizzly Fort archers who climbed onto the roof shot arrows at the beast, but the arrows in the darkness did not cause the slightest damage to the beast, and the terrifying creature pulled out the arrow in its chest, and the wound was instantly filled with coagulated blood, and the beast angrily grabbed a human soldier on the ground and threw it at the roof.
The powerful impact instantly smashed the roof into a splinter, and the human soldier's body was crushed by the iron armor, turning into a bloody mess the moment it hit the roof of the tiled house!
It strode again, stomping one of the Grizzly Fort infantrymen to the ground, the beastly soles of its feet down, flattening the Grizzly Fort infantryman, and guts and blood bursting from its deformed body...... Benedict, the lord of Grizzly Fort above the castle, watched this scene in amazement, obviously, the scene in front of him was unexpected, at this moment, his heart was trembling violently, he couldn't imagine what a terrible scene would be if such a monster came to fight...... Fortunately, now it only has one end.
Standing in front of this behemoth, Rhodes was also shocked, the thunder battle axe in his hand was buzzing, obviously it was also eager to fight, but against such a giant beast, Rod was not sure that he could win completely, even if after a fierce fight, he narrowly won, then, there is no doubt that he will have to pay a huge price. The bear god Ursun gave himself this vajra body, not to squander it like this.
Glancing at the surrounding situation, Rhodes made a hunting plan on the spot.
"Yeskovich, you let the wolves bite its legs and feet and hold it back. ”
"Caroline, harass it with Cryo as much as possible!"
"Bogur, you and I look for opportunities to cut its weakness. ”
"What's its weakness?"
Bogur shouted in response, holding down a small ghoul head with one hand and slamming it to the ground.
"I don't know, I'm looking!"
Rod shouted.
