Eighteen: Army of Skeletons
Kane ignored Vinnie's expression, he put away all of Bol's cores and put them together, plus his own cores, and now he was firmly in the first place, if he could get out of here alive, of course. Kane took a slice of his core and gave them to Vinnie and Rayleigh, stating that their teamwork was over.
Kane asked them to ask for more blessings, and now the assessment situation is no longer the normal assessment as originally planned, and no one can understand the situation in the fog. Although walking together can take care of each other, their goals are also great, and they are more likely to invite danger.
The combat effectiveness of Winnie and the others is also pitiful, and it is okay to deal with a small group of wolf monsters outside, if they encounter a more powerful dark creature, I am afraid that they will suffer, and it is naturally not as convenient to carry three teammates who are like oil bottles.
As for whether they will be murdered by monsters after parting ways with them, it's none of Kane's business, now that everyone can't protect themselves, who will have time to care about the lives of others.
"This is your magic core, it's not difficult to rush into the top ten with this, but it's a bit difficult to get into the top three. Perhaps you will have a lot of demon cores on those dead swordsmen, and if you dare to search them, you may be able to gain a lot. Kane sat down on his horse, threw a bag of cores at them, and then straightened his armor and prepared to walk in the other direction.
Winnie wanted to keep Kane out loud, but she couldn't say it, because she could feel Kane's determination to leave, and there weren't many words with them along the way, everyone was just a cooperative relationship, who would give their lives for a small cooperation.
Kane eventually disappeared into the fog. He didn't take the medicine Shanna had given him because he didn't need it.
A light rain fell in the sky, and the fog was accompanied by the falling rain, and the sound of bells sounded on the steel armor, and the horses snorted, and the knight on horseback suddenly drew his long sword and looked warily ahead.
Raindrops were dripping on the tip of the sword, and rain was dripping from the tips of the hair, and the horse was restless and wanted to spin in place, but the knight grabbed the reins, and the horse fell silent again.
Blurred dark shadows began to appear on all sides of the knight, and they were moving closer and closer to him.
A group of skeletons with swords stood in front of the knight's line of sight, and they surrounded the knights, and the few who stood in front turned their heads to look at the skeletons next to them, looking at each other with empty eyes, as if communicating.
The knight did not look flustered at all, and he watched the scene quietly on horseback.
As if they had agreed, the dozens of skeletons rushed towards Kane with their swords raised, Kane reined in his horse, and the horseman stood up, his hooves glared forward, and with a hissing roar, the skeleton that rushed up was kicked into a bone.
The skeleton's skull rolled around the ground a few times, resting at the horse's feet, and then being trampled into powder by a hoof.
With each sword, skeletons fell, their fragile bones crumbling like dead wood under the blades. There was no neighing of pain on the battlefield, only the slashing of skeletal swords and the breaking of bones and the neighing of warhorses from time to time.
But this is only the situation to outsiders, but to Kane's ears it is a different matter. Every time he killed a skeleton, he could hear the sound of the skeleton's soul being liberated, as if the soul that had been imprisoned for a long time had been redeemed and left this place of pain.
After a battle, Kane's armor was covered with scars and dents, which were left by the blunt knives of the skeletons, and piles of dry bones scattered around him, surrounding a man and a horse.
Kane wiped the rain from his face and sighed in his heart, why don't these skeletons have a magic core on them, if they all leave a magic core for him after they die, then this time the first one will be more stable.
At the same time, another doubt also rose in his heart, almost all the monsters he encountered along the way were low-level guys, except for the group of wolf monsters that hunted them a little stronger, he had not encountered any decent monsters.
He rode his horse and continued to search the rain for Rand's exit, when a black spear stabbed behind him, piercing his shoulder blade and piercing his entire shoulder blade through a large hole. Kane fell from his horse to the ground.
The Black Knight recalled the spear that flew out, he drove his horse forward to check on Kane's situation, and when he picked up Kane's body with the spear, the spear in his hand was suddenly grasped, Kane pulled the Black Knight off his horse with the force of his hand, and pierced his neck with a sword, where there was no armor to cover, and his throat was his most vulnerable.
The black knight clutched the large hole in his throat and tried to suppress the gushing blood, but it was all in vain, and his breath slowly cut off.
Kane lifted his visor and found a rugged face, and the mystery seemed to be solved.
Li Xiu's own strength quickly turned the tide of the battle, and the mage who blocked him didn't expect that Li Xiu actually had demonic armor, and his spell damage had no deterrent power in front of him at all, and they were all blocked by the armor. The powerful Li Xiu first approached the mage, and after solving the mage, he set out to deal with the black knights.
After a while, Rixiu succeeded in killing the black knight who was in the way, and the fog of Rand began to slowly dissipate, and the dark creatures stopped paying attention to the swordsmen and knights who had broken into the place, and it ran frantically to one place as if it had been summoned by some kind of summons.
A three-person team originally thought that they were going to die here, but they didn't expect this group of dark creatures to let them go, and the fog would not die. The men fled in panic.
Kane was aware of this, and many weremons ran past him, completely ignoring his presence and ignoring Kane.
In line with the principle that more is better than less, Kane certainly didn't want to stay in this hellish place, and if one accidentally bumped into a more dangerous enemy, he would die. He had promised his mother that he would live well, and that as long as he escaped from here and joined the Night Wolf with Hamer's backing, he would have many opportunities to make himself stronger and more capable of self-preservation.
Kane made up his mind to go in the direction the monsters were coming from, but as he walked through a dilapidated village road, his expression became ugly. Under a large dead tree, four black knights rode towards him, two with guns and two with swords.
The black armor gave off an icy gaze, and they noticed Kane, who turned around and ran.
There were no forks in the damn village road, and as if he was deliberately trying to kill Kane, he could only follow the running dark creatures towards the same place along the way. The Black Knight threw a spear from behind and flew past Kane's ear, but luckily he dodged it, but another spear flew in. The spears in front of him were also stabbing back, and the front and back flanks almost pushed Kane into a corner.
Rixiu arrived just in time, his sword slicing through the flying spears, and a few light steps condescendingly kicked one of them from the Broken Wall Rock.
The black knight was kicked out, and he successfully dealt with these people with a few moves, and killed one of them with a sword.
"Hey! Who are you a student of? What about your teammates? Rixiu asked, turning around as he withdrew his sword and pulled over his warhorse that he had placed under the broken house. You look like you've been separated from your teammates, so why don't you go with me and see how it's going? It is estimated that those knight captains will also arrive soon, and if you come with me, this assessment can give you more points. ”
Kane nodded, he didn't tell Reich that he had parted ways with his teammates, just because he was a drag bottle, and it would be too much trouble to follow him. On the way, Lixiu asked him again about his situation, about whether he had met other swordsmen on the way, and about Bor.
Kane's mind was briefly stunned by the sudden question of Bor, but he quickly regained his expression and did not tell the truth. He wasn't sure what Richie's relationship was with Bor, and if he had something to do with the Bol family, he, the culprit who killed Bol with his own hands, would suffer.
He only hopes now that he doesn't reveal the identity of the murderer too soon, after all, this thing is somewhat unpleasant. Although it was the other party's killing intent against him first.
At another fork in the road, they encountered four chief knights and more than twenty spear knights, as well as a dozen wounded swordsmen, who looked a little embarrassed but in good spirits.
They converged and headed towards the center of the village, killing all the monsters they encountered along the way.
In the village square of Rand, the stone wall was dilapidated and vacated, and several large square trees stood in the center, on which were supported by several villagers covered in blood and ragged clothes, who were dying and had many wounds on their bodies, both men and women.
They were tied to the top of the wooden pillars, and blood flowed from their bodies and zigzagged across the pillars. Among the dark creatures, werewolves, poisonous snakes, red-eyed rats, etc., gathered in a circle around their square. A dozen black knights lined up, standing statues next to a necromancer.
The gray-haired necromancer looked up at the half-dead villagers at the top of the pillar, and the fog lifted. "They're here, but the ceremony isn't over yet, and we'll need a little more time." Someone has to hold them back now. Baloo! It's up to you, be sure to hold them off as much as you can! We have waited too long for this day and must not fail! ”
One of the Black Knights walked out, he was a head taller than the others, and it was obviously the leader of the group of Black Knights - Baru.
He led the rest of the black knights on his horses and ran towards the outside of the square, the wolfs behind him, and some of them stayed in place, guarding the necromancer like guards.
Kane followed the knights, and along with the swordsmen, all of them had a lot of wounds, and in the crowd he saw Vinnie and them, and they saw Kane too. The three of them clearly had a lot of wounds on their bodies than they had before Kane left.
They didn't come forward to greet Kane, and Kane didn't pay attention to them, after all, they didn't know each other well.
Kane searched for Kaba's figure in the crowd, and according to what he heard, the swordsmen who came to this assessment and were still alive were all called by the knight chiefs of Lixiu to follow them on the road, and in fact, the swordsmen they met halfway and the strength of the battle were also simply treated by the doctors who accompanied the army and then brought them.
Therefore, Kane thought that Kaba should also be here, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see this cunning guy, maybe he was eaten by dark creatures on the way, Kane didn't want to think, as long as he died, then his killing of Bor would hardly be exposed.
Winnie and the others will not betray him, after all, everyone has no enmity, and they even saved them in the Rand village, so it can be regarded as a lifelong friendship, although everyone parted ways later.
