Chapter 113: The road is narrow
According to Kevin, the news he received from the necromancer was ——— a subordinate of the vampire Count Manfred, and the vampire count was on a terrible and evil mission to resurrect the rumored notorious necromancer, the creator of all the undead, the most powerful necromancer......... Nagash.
And the corpses he collected were for the necromantic army that Nagash had prepared after his resurrection.
Not only that, Kevin also got a terrifying news from the necromancer, this time Nagash is not just planning to resurrect, he is even trying to use this resurrection to make himself the god of death! To this end, Manfred even kidnapped the princess from the High Elves, as well as the archbishop of the Sigma Temple, and others, trying to use their blood, magic and soul to make Nagash successfully ascend to God!
"We have to stop this!"
Standing beside Duanmu Huai, Kevin looked at the mercenaries in front of him with a serious face.
"If we can't prevent Nagash from resurrecting and even making him the god of death, then the world will face even more terrible suffering. Of course, I know it's not part of our agreement, but I want you to ........."
Listening to Kevin's words, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes silently, maybe for others, Kevin's words were fine, but Duanmu Huai obviously didn't see it that way.
If Kevin is really the emperor, then of course he can't run here idle and bored to take risks——— this is the life of an adventurer, not the life of an emperor. So Duanmu Huai guessed that the reason why Kevin acted like this was probably because he had heard some kind of rumor——— such as he learned of an ancient, evil plan, and this plan was related to the rumor that was currently raging here and attracting corpses, so he disguised himself as a nobleman and planned to start an investigation from here with mercenaries.
On the flip side, even if the news of Nagash's resurrection is true, perhaps it is part of a larger conspiracy......... Forget it, it has nothing to do with yourself, does it?
Duanmu Huai didn't know that if Manfred knew what he thought, the vampire count was afraid that he would be sprayed to death with a mouthful of old blood. In fact, Manfred's resurrection plan went so badly that 90 percent of it was caused by Duanmu Locust.
First of all, Duanmu Huai recovered the staff located in the monastery and the witchcraft crown in the ruins of Toddheim according to the instructions of the goddess of the lake, so that Manfred almost ran for nothing, especially in Toddheim, because Manfred did not have the ability to drill into subspace like Duanmuhuai, and he also led his necromantic army to fight with the Chaos Warriors with real swords and guns, and the result was a tragic victory, not to mention that when Manfred entered the treasure house, the witchcraft crown had already been taken away by Duanmu Huai.
For this reason, Manfred was scolded by Nagash in the underworld, and later in order to make up for his mistakes, he planned to rob the dimensional stone that the empire took away from Mordheim, but was defeated by Duanmu Huai again, not only did he not get the dimensional stone, but another prop used to resurrect Nagash, the fallen blade, was also taken away by Duanmu Huai, which can be said to be a loss to his wife and a soldier.
Of course, these Duanmu locust don't know, and if he doesn't know, it means that it hasn't happened, so it has nothing to do with him.
Eventually, the other mercenaries agreed to continue the operation with Kevin and thwart the plans of the vampire count——— not that they were noble, on the one hand, necromancers are indeed the enemies of all the living. On the other hand, the plan this time is mainly to save those captives, and I heard that there are also the princesses of the High Elves and the archbishop of Sigmar, if you can get in touch with these people, then there will definitely be a good reward.
Wealth, fame, and status are all at your fingertips!
If it is dangerous, it is also dangerous, because the next place they are going to is none other than Manfred's lair, the land where the undead are rampant——— Sylvania.
But for mercenaries, that's what it's all about?
If you are afraid of danger, who will be a mercenary? Go home and farm.
So, after that, the group continued their journey to Sylvania——— a vampire-ruled territory.
"It's a shame ..............."
Looking at the castle in the distance, Duanmu Huai sighed silently.
"Pity? Mr. Knight? What a pity?? ”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's sigh, An blinked curiously, looked at him and asked.
"It's a pity that we're here to save people, if we're here to kill someone, it's good to just blow it up........."
Duanmu Huai looked ahead again and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. The castle in the distance looks lonely and barren, not unlike the old medieval minaret castle in many vampire movies. All around is the right place, dry and dead trees. Coupled with the crows and bats wandering back in the distance, this requires a BGM, and you can directly go to the beginning of the horror movie on the set.
If Duanmu Huai hadn't come to save people, to be honest, he could have directly launched a gunboat to carry out an aerial carpet bombardment, razing the entire castle to the ground, and then dealing with the rest.
But it's a pity......... They're here to save people.
"But Mr. Knight, why do I feel that you are not in a good mood? Don't you hate ghosts? ”
"I can't say I like it."
"But aren't you, Mr. Knight, very powerful? As soon as those goblins saw you, they all ran away! It's amazing! ”
“……… Stop it. ”
Hearing Ann's words, Duanmu Huai's face suddenly turned gloomy, after entering Sylvania, of course, the group also encountered an attack by ghosts and ghosts, but O'Gis suddenly proposed that Duanmu Huai could scare away these ghosts, and since then Duanmu Huai had to continue without a helmet————— and what made him unhappy was that after that, the group did not encounter any ghost and ghost attacks, and arrived at the destination smoothly.
But this made Duanmu Huai even more unhappy.
When he gets back to this matter, he must educate Ogis about what he can and can't say.
What do you mean by "the master's face works wonders for expelling ghosts"?
Is my face an exorcism prop?!
Forget it, don't think about it now.
Duanmu Huai retracted his thoughts and looked at Kevin.
"Okay, what's next? Or do we have any plans other than a frontal breakout? Or is it the same as before? Two ways to divide the soldiers? ”
"That's all there is to it for now."
Kevin smiled wryly and nodded.
"If you can get the attention of the other side, we may be able to take the opportunity to get in from behind, and then find the captives who are being held and rescue them."
"Okay, that's it, just leave the front door to us, you figure it out yourself."
Duanmu Huai doesn't care, basically he cooperates with others, and the tactics are always like this——— after all, with his physique and conspicuousness, it is basically impossible to play other methods than frontal penetration.
Maybe you can play stealth with a wooden box?
But where to find such a large wooden box?
After deciding on the plan, Duanmu Huai took Ogis and An Da and strode towards the main entrance of the castle, while the others walked around the back of the castle under the leadership of Kevin, as for whether they planned to dig into the sewers or climb the walls, that was their business.
The gate of the entire castle was closed, and when Duanmu Huai arrived at the city gate, he soon saw the ground in front of him turn over, and then several skeleton guards with weapons in their hands crawled out of the ground, but the moment these skeleton guards raised their heads and saw Duanmu Huai's fierce and vicious face, they let out a terrible scream, and then saw the soul flame in the skeleton guards' eyes suddenly extinguished, and they also turned into a pile of broken bones and collapsed to the ground again, without moving.
[You mentally deter the skeleton guards]
[Skeleton guards try to resist mental deterrence......... Resistance Failed】
[The Skeleton Guards are in a state of collapse]
【Death of the Skeleton Guard】
…………… mmp。
Duanmu Huai turned his eyes, no longer looking at the system prompt in front of him, and then he looked at Ann next to him.
"Blow this door open for me!"
"Ahh
An, who was watching the play on the side, was also stunned for a moment when she heard Duanmu Huai's words, and then she hurriedly nodded vigorously and stretched out her hand to aim at the door. Immediately after, a huge fireball emerged from Ann's hand and flew forward, slamming into the castle gates.
"Boom!
”
The next moment, the gate of the castle was instantly blown to pieces, and Duanmu Huai rushed into it with a cold face with a war hammer in his hand, while Ogis and Ann followed.
The entire castle hall was a mess, with no half of a figure in sight, only a long table with several cups on it, but no other food was in sight——— no other food was needed for vampires.
"It's barbaric."
On the balcony on the second floor, a cold voice came, Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked, only to see that on the balcony on the second floor, several figures were hiding in the shadows.
"Who gave you the courage to come to this castle? Foolish and ignorant barbarians, what you have done is only to bring you further on the path of death, and soon you will understand that you are simply ............... in the face of the great force of death."
However, before the words were finished, the other party suddenly stopped, it looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise, and then reluctantly took a step back.
"You, what kind of monster are you!"
"You're a monster when you step on a horse!
”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai suddenly became angry, obviously you yourself are monsters, but you still dare to say that Lao Tzu is a monster?
"Die!
”
At this moment, Duanmu Huai was also angry from his heart, he roared angrily, the jetpack burst out, and took Duanmu Huai across the hall in an instant, only to see him clench the war hammer like this, and smash it hard against the vampires standing on the balcony on the second floor!
