Chapter 41: The Battle of the Courtyard (Part II)

"Attack on! Surround those monsters!"

originally thought that they could arrange a formation and wait for the enemy to attack, but it turned out to be a row of meat hooks. So the old duke changed his tactics and let the soldiers take the initiative.

However, this caused a weakness in the rear defense, and a stitch monster took the opportunity to throw a deadly hook at the old duke!

"Be careful!!

Alec shouted.

"Humph!"

However, the blazing light knocked away the blood-stained flesh hook and opened a large hole in the stitching monster's body. It was the magic that Leah had created, the Arcanic Impact.

"Gee, I don't think I need to help. ”

Rowan looked at the old duke who was holding a staff to drive arcane magic, and said with emotion.

"I'm Randall's chief royal mage anyway, and one or two monsters can't even touch me. ”

After Old Man Brown killed a stitching monster, he said lightly.

In the same way, his words were passed on to Finn and Germain, who were watching the monsters.

"Haha...... You pets can't get into the eyes of Lord Duke, Finn. ”

Germain laughed.

"Mere Mage...... Mere aristocratic ...... How dare you look down on me!

Completely enraged, Finn, already prejudiced against mages and nobles, groped out a skull made of dark crystal from his bosom, and the energy of necromancy tumbled over it.

"Rage, my servants, let the blood boil!"

He chanted incantations as he let necromantic magic flow into the basin......

Thereupon. The stitching monster who was fighting with the old duke and others began to change his body.

Whoa!!

They screamed, their bodies gradually swelling, both physically and physically. Endurance, and even agility, which is not good at it, has begun to take a qualitative leap!

The pale, loose skin cracked, and green blood seeped out of it, flowing to the ground and turning into a poisonous mist.

"Cut! Berserk Magic!?There's a necromancer casting spells on them!"

Rowan, who has been with Jessica for a long time, still knows a lot about necromancers.

"How about knocking out the mage first?"

Alec asked.

"It's unrealistic, if I were the spellcaster himself, I would definitely stay as far away as possible and manipulate these golems. ”

The old duke, who was more familiar with magic than the two of them, shook his head.

"So what should we do? These poisonous fogs are too lethal to the soldiers! We don't have a prop against the toxin!"

Alec asked.

"Damn, if Jessica were here......"

Rowan also gritted his teeth. He understood how restrained these Stitch Monsters were for the melee class, and if his sister was there, the poisonous mist would certainly not be a problem.

"We've been tricked. These monsters are here to contain my mage troops!"

The high-speed healing combined with the poisonous blood made these monsters the natural enemies of the warriors, and the old duke immediately understood the enemy's intentions, and these stitching monsters were meant to force him to recall the pawns of the mage troops.

"Do you want to retreat? These guys don't move fast!"

Rowan asked.

"Keep defending! This crystal is almost finished! And there's no way to escape. I promise as long as we intend to leave. After destroying the crystals, these monsters will directly attack the castle's grain storage warehouse!"

The old duke naturally saw the weakness of these monsters, but even if he escaped, as long as these big men with poisonous blood ran to the place where the food was placed, and those enemies outside the city would come and surround them, let alone a few months, everyone would starve to death here in less than a week.

However, once the summoning mage team returns, it means that the soldiers defending the city will lose their maximum firepower. Whether to save the outside or the inside, the other party used these monsters to give him a dilemma.

"Herald! Get the mages back!"

However, the old duke did not hesitate. He immediately recalled his mage team! Without the help of mages, the enemy may not be able to attack him. However, if you lose the inner city, Fareen will definitely lose.

"Wait!, my lord, you just said that this crystal is almost finished!?"

Alec asked aloud.

"That's right!"

Although he did not know about space magic, the old duke accurately judged that the crystal was about to be completed with his experience in summoning magic.

"Then don't let the mage team come back, as long as the crystal is completed, Lord Leah will be our best help!"

Rowan instantly understood what Alec meant.

"Don't look at the joke, what we lack now is not soldiers but mages, except for the princess and Leah, there are no other mages on your side!"

The old duke thought that the two had failed to grasp the point of this battle, and immediately said in annoyance.

"First of all, we have more than two mages there, but also my sister and a mermaid lady. ”

Rowan returned to the road.

"And rest assured, my lord, I can guarantee that Lord Leah alone will be enough to compensate for the firepower of a mage team. ”

Alec added even more confidently.

Hearing the words of the two, Old Man Brown's brows furrowed.

[Although this is pure nonsense, but they are warriors who have crossed borders and enemy blockades to come here, maybe I can trust them...... And my daughter. 】

"Alright, keep defending, soldiers! I order you to hold on! Reinforcements are coming!"

The old man quickly made a decision and ordered the soldiers to continue the defense......

"Hehe, are you going to call for reinforcements? Or do you sit back and wait for death without brains? Either way, you can't escape from the palm of my hand. ”

Looking at the image in the water mirror, Germain let out a happy laugh.

If the other party did not escape, then the greatest possibility is the pride of the Fareen family, and the mage escort should be on the way to come. If the two of them can't capture Fareen City without losing the mage team, it can only mean that their men are too incompetent. And if the mage team doesn't come...... No, it can't be, because then everyone will be killed by Stitchers.

"Attack, attack, my pets! Crack your neck like that, and swallow it! Let that hateful mage nobleman know who really is good!"

On the other side, Finn was even more unremitting in directing the stitching monster to attack.

The flesh-and-blood beast vomited dark green bile, something more vicious than blood, a viscous liquid running down the floor, burning stone bricks sizzling, and a disgusting smell in the air.

However, even so, the soldiers did not give up, despite the corroded soles of their feet and the toxins in their lungs, they endured the pain in their hearts and launched one attack after another.

"Hahaha...... It's useless, it's useless. Stupid! simply stupid!"

Finn smiled viciously and commanded the Stitch Monster to kill as much as he could.

[Wrong...... Duke Brown can't be fools, and without the help of the mages, they would all be wiped out here. 】

However, Germain frowned, he didn't think that the other party was a fool, if the enemy didn't plan to rely on the mage team, then there must be another way to win, if anything, I am afraid it was the azure vortex that was still spinning.

"Don't play, Finn. Let the stitcher hit and attack that blue thing. ”

He commanded. (To be continued......)
