Chapter 40: The Battle of the Courtyard (I)
At this moment, far beneath King Randall, Germain and Finn were gazing at a dilapidated basin of water. The basin is supported by a triangular bracket of brass carved with a decoration of the skull. The bottom of the basin is inlaid with an eye made of crystal, which looks as subtle as the real thing.
This eyeball is infused with magical powers, and can connect to the gaze of the stitching monsters, thus projecting the image on the surface of the water like a projector.
"How?
The surface of the water was showing Stitchers killing the guards, which made Finn laugh.
"Yes, it's more reliable than I expected. ”
Germain nodded, originally thinking that these stitching monsters were only at the level of ordinary knights, but now it seems that they are really a little underestimated.
"Look, there's more to them than that......"
Finn looked at the scene on the water and smiled sinisterly......
At the same time, the sound of alarm bells resounded through Fareen Castle.
"There are enemies!?"
Old man Brown couldn't calm down at this time. Because it was not a bell for an attacker, but a warning for an attack on the inside of the castle.
"Let's take a look!"
Rowan and Alec looked at each other, picked up their weapons and stormed the castle.
At this time, the castle was filled with commotion and panic.
"Hey, what the hell is going on?"
Rowan asked, holding one of the soldiers.
"There's an enemy! There's an enemy coming through the sewers!"
"The sewers!?can't be! It's full of dangerous experimental waste, and there's no way for humans to get in!"
The old duke, who followed closely, frowned after hearing the soldier's words.
"That means the enemy is not human. In any case, it's dangerous here. Lord Duke, please evacuate as soon as possible. ”
Alec realizes that things are not simple.
"Huh. Anyway, I'm a mage, so I don't have to worry so much about my comfort. I'll deal with the riots in the castle. Rowan, Alec, you two head in the direction of the sewers, where you can stop the enemies, or lure them to the barracks. ”
The old duke thought for a moment and decided that the immediate priority was to suppress the spread of panic. As for the enemy, there are a large number of guards and open fields on the side of the barracks, and there is nothing to fear any kind of enemy.
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
The two nodded, hurrying in the direction of the sewers.
"Oops. Oops, I thought that after such a long journey, what awaited me was a soft bed. ”
On the way, Rowan said in a mocking tone.
"No way, this is war. ”
"yes...... Wait, I smell something......"
The two of them came to the end of the hallway, and from there they went down to the sewers. It was very dim at this point, and the only light was the torches they had taken off the wall.
"What does it smell like rot...... Wait!
There was a sound of breaking the air, and Alec pushed Rowan away. A huge hook passed between the two of them with chains, then slammed into the ground and was dragged back into the darkness with a screeching sound.
Knock! Knock!
With heavy footsteps, the owner of the hook appeared in front of them.
"Hah...... Sure enough, it's a monster. ”
Rowan raised the weapon in his hand and smiled.
"Come on, let's clean them up all of them. ”
Alec also said......
"Those two men are highly skilled warriors. I can't imagine that there are such good players in Faren, and I underestimate Duke Brown a little. ”
Germain looked at the two in the basin and nodded. He didn't recognize Rowan and Alec, just that they were warriors who had been living in Fareen City in the first place.
"Hmph. Even so, they are no match for the Stitching Monsters, and they are best at dealing with these knights who can only wield swords and swords. ”
I saw the two of them nimbly shuttling between the clumsy stitching monsters. Finn gave a look of disdain.
"Oh, but it seems to me that your little pets have no room to fight back. ”
Germain raised an eyebrow.
"But what's the use of that? Stitch monsters have terrifying self-healing powers...... And their blood becomes a volatile corrosive gas when it encounters air, see ......"
Fein adjusted the picture. This allows Germain to clearly see how the parts that have been cut by the weapon are restored to their original state at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
"Well, something ...... interesting"
Germain nodded, and a yellow-green mist began to fill the hallway, and the two warriors who were fighting the Stitching Monster had apparently not expected to be attacked by this acidic gas, so they began to retreat.
"Chase, my pets. Kill them, then find Brown Farainn and strangle him to death in his castle. ”
Fein commanded the Stitchers forward.
"Huh!?"
Suddenly, the picture in the basin began to fluctuate violently.
"What's going on?"
"Strange, there's a high-intensity magical reaction in that direction. ”
Fein pointed in one direction of the castle, where the teleportation crystals had been planted.
"Destroy there! They're probably using strategic magic. ”
The mage team in Fareen City can even use mass destruction magic, depending on the situation, and Germain feels it necessary to help the two who are besieging the city to solve this problem.
"Well, let's go, maybe Brown Farainn is there, too. ”
Finn nodded, directing the Stitch Monster to change direction......
"Hey...... That's not good!"
"The direction they're heading is - the courtyard where the teleportation ritual is taking place!"
Rowan and Alec noticed the stitching monster's movements and immediately chased after it. Although these behemoths are clumsy, they are difficult to be damaged by conventional weapons, and if you have to say, mages who throw magic cannons like Lori are their nemesis.
The two of them tried every possible way to stop the ghosts, but they finally made it to the courtyard.
At this time, the castle was quiet, and it seemed that the old duke had completely controlled the situation, and just as they walked to the vortex of teleporting crystals to prepare for a desperate battle, Old Man Brown also led the soldiers here.
"Protect the crystal's teleportation point, and never let it be destroyed!"
The old duke waved his hand, and the soldiers lined up neatly, blocking a human wall in front of the stitching monster. However, due to the fact that the outer fort was in a defensive battle, this was the moment when the troops in the inner fort were the most empty, which also led to the fact that the troops in the courtyard were not so strong.
Crash!
The sound of chains rang out, and the stitchers threw their meat hooks in their hands, hooking the soldiers standing together one by one, then grabbing their feet, raising their heads, and swallowing them down.
"Ahhh!!h
For a moment, screams of despair kicked off the battle. (To be continued......)
