Chapter 155: The Dead Who Came in the Night (2/4)
The night in the north is as dark as ink.
A bonfire was lit in the middle of the owl sentry to dispel the darkness a little.
By the campfire, Anglo knelt on the ground with his hands tied behind him, surrounded by a circle of exorcist warriors.
Lawson sat on a small stool by the campfire, with two shield-wielding exorcist warriors standing beside him.
Charina held a winding steel crossbow flat, and the bolt was pointed at Anglo's chest.
"In other words, the Baron and the Necromancer teamed up to deal with the rebels in the mountains?"
Anglo nodded.
"The rebels believed in the evil god Rada, received the curse of ice blood, and became very strong in combat."
"An ordinary ice-blooded warrior would take two low-level elite warriors to deal with. Not to mention that there are several high-level powerhouses among them."
"The number of regular troops in Whitehorse Town is less than 1,000, and the elite is less than 200, if it really fights, even if the Baron can use the strong walls of Whitestone Castle to stop the rebels, Whitehorse Town will definitely be finished."
"If we don't find a countermeasure in time, Whitehorse will surely usher in a catastrophe."
"In desperation, the baron had to turn to the necromancer Damsis, because only the necromantic army can stop the Ice-Blood Warrior Order, and only then can this calamity disappear."
Xia Lina sneered, "It's a good idea for the baron to fight, so let me ask you, where did those necromantic puppets come from?"
"As far as I know, there are two parts, one is adventurers and travelers from other countries, and these make up the majority. Then there are the death row prisoners in the prisons, and of course, these are not enough."
Vice-Captain Filin understood: "So, the night attack of the necromancer half a moon ago was directed and acted by the baron himself, just to get more necromantic puppets?"
Anglo shook his head slightly, "I'm just in charge of the errand, and I don't know what the baron really thinks, but judging from the final result, the baron may have this idea."
Xia Lina smiled coldly, "In the beginning, the baron definitely didn't want to do this. If you really want to be a necromantic puppet, it is much safer and more secluded to find the villagers of a nearby mountain village."
"I guess it was the unilateral idea of the necromancer Damsis, both to harvest the necromantic puppets and to warn the baron."
"The Baron was forced to cooperate in order to reduce the damage."
It's called the next gram!
That is, the necromancer is out of control.
Anglo nodded in agreement, "From what I know about the baron, this lady's statement should be the closest to the truth."
"So, do you know where Damsis is hiding?"
Anglo shook his head, "After that night, I was transferred to the owl sentry, and I had no idea what happened after that."
After a pause, he said, "Since Damsis has enough necromantic golems, according to the agreement, he should go into the mountains to deal with the Ice-Blood Warrior Order, right?"
Xia Lina snorted coldly, "Necromancers have already sold their souls to the devil, and expecting them to keep their contracts is as unreliable as keeping dogs from eating."
"Anglo, you follow me back to the temple to hide, and at a critical time, I need you to come out and correct the baron's crimes!"
Anglo was stunned: "I swear allegiance to the Baron......
Halfway through the words, Xia Lina planned it.
"No, you're swearing allegiance to a baron favored by the Golden God, not a cold-blooded and ruthless devil who sells the townsfolk to necromancers as puppets!" ….
Anglo let out a long sigh, "Understood. The Golden God is above, and I will go back to the temple with you."
He turned to the other warriors again, "How are they?"
Charina lowered her crossbow: "I was just knocked unconscious. We are exorcist warriors, not butchers."
"Then I'll be relieved. Let's go."
And he prepared to get up.
"Wait!"
It was Lawson, who had been silent: "I can't leave for the time being."
"What?" Xia Lina was taken aback.
Rosen pointed to the farmland outside the log parapet, "We should be given by a bunch of dead people
surrounded."
Vice Captain Filin's face turned pale, and he immediately waved his hand: "Close the gate immediately!"
The 2 exorcist warriors quickly ran over and closed the door.
Rosen smiled lightly, "Don't be too nervous, those dead people should still be some distance away from the sentry."
Xia Lina was a little incredulous: "Rosen, how did you find out?"
Rosen pointed to his nose, "You smell."
After receiving the vitality of Olekjar, he was always in the best health, especially good, unlike the usual northerners who were ruined by rhinitis.
Xia Lina sniffed vigorously, and her face suddenly turned cold: "Sure enough, it's the smell of rotting corpses!"
They must have been surrounded by an army of necromancy.
Film's brow furrowed, "Is the Baron planning to kill us?"
Xia Lina sneered, "It must be the unilateral intention of the necromancer Damsis, the baron is not so bold!"
"But how did he know we were here?"
Xia Lina immediately said, "There must be his guilt in the town. Nine times out of ten, it's the Nightingale!"
Lawson laughed, "It's definitely the Nightingale Society. Because only the nightingale will know that we are looking for Anglo."
In this regard, he was mentally prepared early in the morning.
Anglo immediately shouted, "Give me the weapon, let me also participate in the battle!"
In his opinion, surrounded by the army of necromancy, they will definitely die today, but as warriors, even if they know that they will die, they must fight to the end.
After a few seconds of muttering, Charina untied his hands: "Go, wake up the warriors with cold water, and all of them are fully armed to deal with the necromantic puppets."
Fei Lin immediately stepped forward and said softly, "Captain, we can use the big jump technique to jump out of the encirclement, and Master Lawson can also fly."
The implication is to abandon the warriors of the owl sentry.
Xia Lina immediately shook her head: "I can't see anything clearly in the dark, and I don't know how many puppet warriors have come, and there are still hidden necromancers, so it's unpredictable to break through."
As soon as Fei Lin thought about it, he dismissed the idea of breaking through.
On the other hand, Anglo immediately got up and complied.
After saying that, Xia Lina began to popularize the key points of dealing with necromantic puppets again.
"Necromantic golems are fearless, tireless, and have no point in their reach, and unleash terrifying blood blasts that are powerful enough to break through any mid-tier and below defense!"
"No matter what method you use, you must not get close to the necromantic golem, you must shoot with a crossbow!"
"Take out all the arrows, Rosen, enchant with your searing salute!"
"Yes."
"Do you have a mid-level wisdom potion with you? Drink it if you bring it."
"I know what to do, don't worry, Captain Marina." ….
Rosen smiled faintly, he took out a bottle of potion and drank it.
But it's not a mid-tier wisdom potion, it's a turquoise potion.
As he spoke, Anglo had awakened his stunned men and brought out three bundles of about 300 iron arrows: "Mage, all the arrows in the sentry are here."
Rosen's thoughts moved, and he launched a scorching salute.
This is a mid-tier six-star logic spell.
A maximum of 20 arrows can be enchanted in a Scorching Salute. To enchant all 300 arrows, that is 15 mid-level spells, and high-level mages have a bit of a hard time.
But Lawson has a dexterous spell caster.
Each Scorching Praise only gives 10% of the spell scale, the strength has not changed, and although the total power is much smaller, it can still cause huge damage because it is shot into the opponent's body.
In this way, 15 enchantments are equivalent to releasing only 1.5 standard Scorching Salutes.
The energy consumption of the Searing Salute is not high, and there is a staff of flowers to help save mana, so after the enchantment is completed, Rosen still has eighty percent of the mana in his body.
When enchanted, Lawson quickly explained how to use it.
"My mana is limited, and after enchantment, the flame power on each arrow is equivalent to a large torch, try to shoot them into the chest of the necromantic golem,
Roast the internal organs of the necromantic puppets and use the power in their bodies to the greatest extent."
"Understood."
After the enchantment is completed, there is a faint layer of bright yellow streamer on the surface of the iron arrow, and the touch is warm to the touch, giving people a faint feeling of peace of mind.
By this time, the exorcist warrior had already planted torches on the guard wall, and through the light of the torches, he could already faintly see the necromantic puppets staggering forward on the farmland.
But it's still too dark to see very real, and in this kind of night fight, once you miss a puppet and let it rush to the side of the parapet to launch a blood explosion, the result is very serious.
Charina immediately asked Lawson for help, "It's too dark, mage, is there a way?"
Rosen was naturally prepared.
As soon as the thought moved, the staff of flowers pointed to the sky.
Dexterous casting.400% low-level light spell.
A head-sized blinding orb appeared on the tip of the staff, and after a moment, it soared all the way to the sky, and the light quickly brightened, as if a white sun had risen on the ground.
In an instant, the ball of light rose to a height of 100 meters, and the light emitted reflected the owl sentry and the surrounding area within hundreds of meters like a full moon night.
"The brightness of my spell lasts for 10 minutes!"
By this time, the exorcist warriors and sentry guards had also ascended to the platform behind the parapet.
With the help of spell lighting, everyone also clearly saw the opponent.
In the distance, among the fields and crops, one necromantic golem after another stood up.
They were dressed in dirty clothes, their eyes were white, their skin was blue, their bodies were slightly swollen, and their hair was covered with dry mud, which was like batter on their swollen heads.
Anglo glanced around quickly, his pupils shrinking, "That's more than 140!"
There were only 10 warriors stationed at the entire outpost, and only 10 exorcist warriors came, plus one mage, that is, 21 people, the difference in number was as high as 7 times!
The exorcist warriors were well-informed and kept their composure, but the sentry warriors all looked desperate, and some of them couldn't help but shout.
"Can't keep it! Run, run as many as you can, or we'll all be turned to necromancy!"
As soon as these words came out, all the warriors suddenly involuntarily shrank back.
Anglo was the only one who remained courageous and sober.
He shouted, "Run, what? Don't you see everything around? Where are you running at night? Aren't you afraid of being blocked by a necromancer?!"
These words immediately broke the thoughts of the soldiers.
Anglo roared angrily, "Whoever dares to say another word of runaway, don't blame me for ignoring the feelings of my comrades!"
After yelling, he softened his tone slightly: "Hold the sentry and fight to the end, there is still a chance of life." If we run away, we're all going to die in this place today!"
He yelled a few times with both hard and soft, and the guards at the sentry also re-tightened their weapons and prepared to fight to the death.
Xia Lina watched from the sidelines, secretly relieved, and picked it up in time.
"Warriors, fear not. The Golden God will not give up on any warrior, even if he dies in battle, his soul will return to the Golden God's Kingdom."
In fact, she has no bottom in her heart, and the necromantic puppet that has appeared in front of her is not a big threat, but it is difficult to say if it is not revealed.
In particular, there is a terrifying necromancer hidden in the shadows.
Whether you can survive tonight and see the sun tomorrow morning depends on the blessing of the golden god and the spell of Lawson.
