Chapter XXIV Strategic Shift
Under the holographic projection, a blue planet appeared in front of everyone, and for them, this scene was so dreamy that it was unimaginable.
"Ah...............h
Alyssa's mother covered her mouth with her hands and stared at the planet in front of her in surprise, while Cardo and the elven scout were also dumbfounded, but Alyssa seemed relatively calm——— after all, she had long known that Duanmu Huai had mage-like skills, so it was not surprising that she could do such a thing. Instead, he came over curiously and looked at the holographic projection in front of Duanmu Huai.
"Knight, what is this?"
"This is the map of this world."
"Huh? Do we live on a ball? So where do we live? ”
Hearing Alyssa's inquiry, Duanmu Huai also quickly stretched out his hand, dotted on the holographic projection, and then quickly zoomed in, and then the entire Silver City and the surrounding area appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow, this is the Silver City? Is this what it looks like?? ”
At this moment, the others also gathered around, staring curiously at the holographic projection in front of them, this scene was really too unbelievable, they had never seen such a scene.
"Ah, this is our castle! And the guards patrolling the city walls! I can see it even at night........."
Alyssa excitedly leaned over to look left and right as if she had encountered some new toy, and then she reached out in confusion and pointed to the edge of the map.
"Huh? What are those dense black shadows here? ”
"Huh? Let me see ........."
Hearing Alyssa's inquiry, Duanmu Huai noticed that there was a group of moving shadows in the lower left corner of the map outside the Silver City, and he also reached out and clicked there. Then the screen zoomed in again, and then everyone saw a group of black and oppressive ratmen and corrupt believers speeding up their pace towards the Silver City.........
"Enemy attack!"
At the same time, the bell representing the vigilance outside also rang.
After these days, there are not a few people left in the Silver City now, except for a group of veterans who followed the Cador Knights, the other residents have already left the Silver City and fled to other places, and the people in the castle have also been dismissed. At present, the total number of people up and down the entire Silver City is less than a hundred, and the army of rat people on the opposite side is at least hundreds or thousands, so naturally they can't resist it no matter what.
Fortunately, everyone was ready to run, and at this moment they were also in a hurry to salute, and then got into the carriage.
"Knight, what are you going to do?"
Alyssa looked at Duanmu Huai, and asked uneasily, no wonder she was uneasy, after all, Duanmu Huai's armor weighed dozens of tons, and riding a horse could directly crush the horse to death, let alone riding a carriage, the carriage collapsed when the front foot went up and the back foot collapsed.
"I'm in charge of the queen to make sure these guys don't come up and make trouble."
Duanmu Huai also quickly gave an answer, and then looked at Ogis.
"Ogis, you stay with them, take care to protect them."
“…………………”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's order, Okis didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
"I will take Madame and Mademoiselle to the banks of the Kurogi River, where I have a secret stronghold that should not be discovered."
The elven scout was already sitting in the carriage at this time, and then spoke to Duanmu Huai.
"I've already marked the exact location on the map for you, there's that strange thing, it should be easy to find."
"I see, you guys should withdraw first, and so do the Caddo Knights."
"Okay, so are you, be careful."
The two sides briefly talked a few words, and then the elven scout scolded, and drove away in the carriage, escorted by the knights of Cado and other soldiers, while Duanmu Huai glanced at their backs, then withdrew his gaze and returned to the castle.
At this moment, it is late at night.
The original bright moonlight was covered by dark clouds that appeared at an unknown time, and the whole city was pitch black, standing on the balcony of the castle, he could not see anything except the light emitted by the castle torch, Duanmu Huai just stood there, staring at the earth in front of him, which was also shrouded in darkness——— until bright red vital signs appeared in his field of vision.
It's finally here.
Looking at the rat people and corrupt believers who were gradually approaching the Silver City in front of him, Duanmu Huai's eyes were cold, he stood up, stretched out his hand, and a card appeared on Duanmu Huai's fingertips, and then quietly dissipated.
Then, a strange mansion with a faint blue glow appeared behind Duanmu Huai like an illusory image. Then, with a flick of his right hand, he pressed it weakly.
In an instant, nearly a hundred puppets quietly appeared, arranged neatly like soldiers. Then, they raised their weapons and swooped down on their enemies in front of them like cheetahs in the night.
At this time, the army of nezumi and corrupt believers had also broken through the city gates and returned to the city again.
The dead silence of the city clearly made the brains of these bedbugs who didn't bathe all day a little too much, and they were longing for another wonderful ritual that would spread the "mercy" of the filthy god to the masses. But the graveyard-like city in front of them was clearly not the happy ball scene they expected. Just when these invaders looked at each other and didn't know what to do, countless armies of puppets descended from the sky and rushed directly into the ranks of corrupt believers and nezumi.
The sudden appearance of the army of puppets startles the corrupt cultists and nezumi, but at the same time they find their enemies. Although the blades wielded by the puppets are deadly, as mentioned before, it is difficult for physical attacks to pose any threat to corrupt believers who are swollen and full of viruses and carrion, and dolls with only 1 point of defense will not be the opponent of rat people and corrupt believers, almost the moment they rush in, these puppets are directly smashed to pieces, and what they do does does does not seem to have any effect other than bringing a ripple to the filthy army.
However, this is just the beginning.
At the same time that the dolls were smashed to pieces, the dark mansion behind Duanmu Huai that shone with a spiritual fire began to stir, and then its windows and doors suddenly opened as if they were haunted! An invisible cold wind whistled out of it, passed through Duanmu Huai's body, and galloped forward.
Immediately afterward, the rat people and corrupt believers discover that the situation has changed.
As they smashed the dolls that appeared out of nowhere, the spirits of the undead in white robes and exuding the chill of death suddenly emerged from them, and they opened their mouths and let out a death wail that made all living beings tremble, and then, like hungry wolves, rushed towards the filthy army in front of them.
This is exactly the power of the card [Ghost Mansion] that Duanmu Huai obtained in the soul fragment before!
【Ghost Mansion (Bronze)】
[Cost: 1]
[Whenever your own servants (except Wraiths) are destroyed, summon a Wraith to the battlefield]
From the sky, the scattered army of wraiths looked as beautiful as a white lotus flower circling and blooming, but to the nezumi and the corrupt believers, this being that represented pure death was simply their natural enemy. They began to flee in all directions, for the sickness and poison held by the cultists of the Filthy Gods were meaningless to the spirits, and they could not even attack their bodies. And every attack from the wraiths weakens their soul fire.
Although the Wraiths themselves do not have a high attack power, they have the advantage of being spirits, and they cannot be harmed by ordinary physical attacks, and only elemental and magical damage will have an effect. Unfortunately, believers in the unclean God are also lacking in this regard. Soon, corrupt believers and nezumi fell to the ground under the "caressing" of the undead, their bodies were cold and stiff, their hearts no longer beating, and even the viruses that were lodged on their bodies were decaying and dying under the blowing of the winds of death.
This is the reason why Duanmu Huai chose the Undead card deck, no life can withstand death, even viruses, parasites and bacteria, and all the flames of life will be extinguished in the wailing of unjust souls.
It's just a pity that with the practice of countless players' blood and tears, this set will only have an effect on high-level demons at most, and the Great Demon and the Chaos Evil God themselves are not affected by these necromancy spells and effects. Many species with high magic resistance don't eat this either, and it seems that they can only fight head-on, and of course, even so, the other party will not die.
Of course, if there were any artifacts in this world that could kill everything, maybe it would really be useful......... Unfortunately, there are no similar item cards in the game.
But for Duanmu Locust, this is enough.
Looking at the enemy who had already been defeated in the army of resentful spirits, Duanmu Huai nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to leave——— after all, for him, it was pointless to stay here any longer.
