Alas, hey, I had a cold today, and I thought I could finish it, but it seems that the number of words is enough, but the plot is a bit messy......
――
So, is it some kind of summoning thing? The enemy is a mage of the spell faction?
If so, then it's really troublesome, you must know that the eight major factions of magic, the two most difficult specialized mages are necromancers and spell mages, and ordinary people will never want to mess with them
However, Edward quickly shook his head and rejected the notion - if it was a mage who could summon such monsters, he didn't need to go to such great lengths to kill them, there were many ways to stealthily plot in magic, unless it was a madman who was overconfident in his own power. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)
"Their bodies have been desecrated, and those who have been killed usually linger in the land of death for a little time out of resentment, but now, their souls are likely to have been bound or devoured. Elena's voice came from behind,
Then there was a cacophony of bells and more exclamations. The whole village was finally awakened.
"Hell, they should have gathered together to rest. ”
Edward shook his head and whispered to himself, although he had only seen the illustrated book cursoly, he also knew that demons, demons and other creatures of the lower realms could directly bind or even eat mortal souls as long as they possessed a certain amount of power, and even their common coins were souls, unless there was a strong faith, it was difficult to survive this bondage. And what's even more terrifying is that it's also a way to increase their own strength. There are even some higher monsters that can summon stronger demons to come to the world through the sacrifice of the soul.
The number of people in this village. As long as it is about a third, it is already very likely to summon something very troublesome.
Thinking in his head, the hunter waved his hand casually, and there was a ding. And a flame sparked...... He casually circled and threw out two more bottles, and a small patch of hay in the square was set on fire.
In such darkness, it is impossible for ordinary humans to fight a monster that can use mute. As long as the monster or the person who operates it, a little cunning is enough to cause a mass slaughter, so it is necessary to ensure enough light, and inherent width, and this is a small empty field, as for a few piles of hay, just kidding. Even if the harvest of the whole village is piled up here, or even if the village is burned to the ground, the property of a few knights can afford to pay for it.
Of course, Edward was not interested in paying the bill.
Edward's lamp oils were all good products, and the fire flickered a little. Then it rose into the sky, and with an exclamation, the shadowy figures began to gather in this direction. But just as he was about to open his mouth to keep the men in order, a frizzy roar rang out.
"What's going on here...... Damn, what are you doing!" the three paladins were the first to arrive at the scene, and it was the young guy at the forefront—the corpses scattered on the ground, the blood in the air and the expressionless fiery figure undoubtedly gave him some kind of delusion, and he choked and drew his sword. With the roar, the luster of divine energy burst out, and he rushed headlong towards Edward.
But the impact was intercepted, of course.
"Stop!" Elena held out a hand. Appeared out of thin air with the big sword to block the opponent's sprint, and did not shake under his feet: "What do you want to do? ”
"Your Excellency Irene. Don't you see, he's, he's killed so many people, and it's ......" The young paladin showed an expression of effort, but it was difficult to advance an inch, so he could only shout
"We discovered this scene together. These people were attacked by monsters capable of using magic. It has nothing to do with His Excellency Edward. The voice of the female paladin was cold, calm, and with an irresistible command, and the detention and shyness of a moment ago seemed to have completely melted away from the bloodstains.
"Together, with this guy, at a time like this, so why would he set this place on fire?"
The voice was clearly able to quiet the young paladin - glaring at the non-existent black figure, he muttered suspiciously, and then withdrew his sword in a huff, but when he looked around, the tragic situation of the corpses scattered on the ground in the light of the fire quickly made him swallow, and he was at a loss for what to do with the other two paladins: "The light is above...... It can't be Levine, right? Who killed him?"
"Apparently they didn't stay here to give us the interest to visit......"
Edward, who was on the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes, expressing great disdain for the sluggish reactions and brainless actions of these guys.
In fact, it seems that these young knights are no wonder...... They were the guards of the city - for them, the battle should be to put on a locked curtain, cuirass and vulture shield, take up a spear and ride a horse to the enemy line, or cut down and pierce one enemy after another with a long sword on the city defense, rather than judging how a person died and how the murderer acted in this dark night.
On the contrary, a series of chaotic footsteps came from the east, and the footsteps were mixed with the nervous or fearful screams of many people. The five men looked ahead at the same time, a gaze that was both wary and doubtful.
"There's a monster! There's a big monster!" a screaming creature rushed around the corner of the street, and behind him there were a few screaming men—there seemed nothing wrong with the darkness behind them, but they were crawling and crawling, as if the darkness itself was a monster that could devour them.
Of course, in Edward's eyes, a qiē is not so simple.
In that darkness, there are indeed monsters.
Although the creature didn't look very large—only two feet tall with a dark red body and bony bones, with sharp horns and bat wings, and its small appearance looked more like an elf, Edward's gaze tightened a little at the first sight of it.
That's Kwassey. Authentic demons, they are huge in the battlefield of the Abyss, and the advantage that allows them to survive is that they have superb hiding skills and can be invisible. They are especially adept at raiding - in fact, this group is generally cowardly and timid, but it is precisely because of this that these insidious and cunning demons plan their attacks carefully and cautiously.
The library has detailed information about them. However, Edward found that the book was still different from the actual thing, and the speed of the thing was quite fast, that is, the 2000 envoy had become invisible, and he was used to hiding himself in all corners
Attack only those who seem weak. Even if such an attack is usually not fatal, it is enough to keep them scrambling. What's more, these monsters may also have natural poison on their claws. The peasants who had been scratched soon whined and mourned, their faces covered in green.
Edward didn't care about these things, as long as he was engrossed, not a single hidden creature could escape his gaze, and the sneaky sneak attack of the Quasai Devil could only be counted as one.
However, now on the battlefield. He's not alone.
"Hey, Lisa...... Where is Miss?" he asked, looking around.
To deal with demons, the holy warrior is naturally a great help. But the priests' abilities are obviously more suitable, but this truth, everyone knows, and the enemy who launched the attack naturally knows - it stands to reason that if there is such a big noise, even if the little girl is still sleepy, the two trained adult priests should have woken up a long time ago, but at this moment the townspeople have begun to gradually run out of the house. Instinctively running towards the crowded place, but the priest and the mage. and the few remaining knights of the garrison were nowhere to be seen,
Even a lack of vigilance. There is no such lack of trouble,
"Elena, take them with you,
The holy warriors are covered in armor all over their bodies, and they also have great resistance to poison, even if they are attacked by the Kwasai Demon first, it will not be a big problem, in fact, with the cowardice of the Kwasai Demon, they do not dare to approach the Holy Samurai who is full of divine energy.
There is no need to kill them, when the demons come to the main material plane, there will inevitably be a lot of losses, even if they are not summoned, they will gradually weaken, as long as they are consumed, the time will be extremely beneficial to their own side,
"Sir Arryn has no problem, but with a guy of unknown origin like you, who is qualified to dictate to the paladins here?Could it be that the mages are now arrogant enough to think that Tumenis is their territory, and an apprentice can command anyone at will?" The young paladin sneered sharply: "In this light, you want everyone to disperse, what if you are broken by each one?I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Sir Erin, but now, I have the right to doubt your identity, so you'd better or... ...”
Edward couldn't help but shake his head - he didn't contribute anything, but he came to question others, this thing's IQ seemed to be not as high as Quisser's, and there were brain-dead people all the time, but at this time he didn't have any interest in paying attention to this kind of idiot, so he took out a badge and shook it in front of everyone.
"Is that okay?" the golden-red flash on the badge made several paladins look pale at the same time.
Although this badge was used by the Temple of Ransendel to win over Edward, the authority of the representative was actually quite high, and it was not limited to getting help. Of course, it is indeed a bit reluctant to command a few paladins,
"The bishop's badge?" Er's face also changed, but obviously he didn't want to accept his fate, and still snorted: "Wait, I haven't seen it clearly, how can you have such a ...... What if it's a forgery, and even if it's not a forgery, if it's a ...... you steal"
"Mr. Edward is my friend, and this badge is the bishop's ......"
"Well, why don't I remember that there are still such a guy among the Paladins who cares about people's lives?" Edward couldn't help but sneer, the expression on his face was clear: "As for my relationship with Elena...... What kind of thing are you, who can handle our business?"
"You...... Bastard!"
The young man gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, but as soon as the voice came out, he noticed that the other party's gaze had turned to him - in the shadow of the hood, the slightly narrowed eyes were extremely bright!
And then...... He didn't have time to think about anything, the power of his mind hit his mind like a sharp needle, but this time, it wasn't as simple as a numb scalp. The terrible power churned his brain, making him roll his eyes without saying a word, and sit down to the ground with an ordinary thud!
But at this time, there was a strange whirring sound in the sky. Many people raised their heads and couldn't stop screaming subconsciously!
Edward's gaze turned, only to see a myriad of dark green monsters in the sky waving their vulture-like wings from the red mist—these monsters swept between the newly assembled archers and the villagers, and a terrible shrill laugh sounded like rubbing against iron. The terrible screams of the human beings followed, and a puff of blood mist burst out, and several people lost their heads in the first place!
After a wave of attacks, these vulture-like monsters immediately rose to the top. Get back into the sky and get ready for your next dive.
Some of the longbowed militiamen began to fight back, but they were disappointed to find that most of the arrows they shot had pierced their bodies, but had not hit any of the enemy. The vultures swooped down again, their eyes flashing with an evil red light, and the militiamen immediately screamed and waved their weapons, and began to attack their teammates like crazy.
Such a monster is clearly terrifying. The simple defensive structures of the village are simply not enough to protect everyone.
"Hell, Charm!"
Edward cursed in a low voice, he himself had this ability. But I didn't expect it to be used by the opponent first...... The situation was not as bad as it could have been - not all the vultures in the sky were real, and there were probably only three or five of them. However, with these simple tactics, it was more than enough to kill all these dozens of peasant soldiers.
He reached out and pulled the longbow from his spatial pocket, slowly pulling it apart, while concentrating, and in the subtle humming sound, a power appeared.
Psionic Greasy Spell appeared out of thin air...... The astral oil extracted from the astral realm with psychic power sprayed out the sky with colorful brilliance, and the monsters in the sky suddenly let out a few screams—the sudden glow in the darkness was difficult for even demons to adapt. In the midst of this brief noise, a screech sounded. A Flo slid down from the sky in a crooked way!
Bingo!
Edward was overjoyed that the new longbow was in good shape. The power of the Cold Iron Arrow is also quite good, although the monster is not shot through the vital point. But as long as it loses the ability to fly, there is obviously nothing to be afraid of this thing......
"Demon!" the paladins finally saw the monster as it fell, and the more human-like appearance of the vulture, and the tendency to speak in a sharp roar were enough to explain their identity. "It's Flodemon!" they roared as they plated their swords with a layer of holy light, and at the intersection of the three swords, the hapless demon immediately turned into a pile of black ashes after falling into a daze!
Edward's gaze didn't linger on this demon-slaying operation, he wanted to keep up the good work...... It's a pity that the two cunning creatures in the sky are worthy of demons, and after a defeat, they refuse to venture down again. The combination of the Pulley Bow and the Cold Iron Arrow was good, but it always consumed a lot of kinetic energy when fired upwards, and Edward tried to shoot another arrow, but was dodged by the light.
It seems that it will be difficult to attack them for a while.
"Damn, it's not something that was summoned with a simple summoning technique!It seems that the evil ritual is really existing......" One of the paladins let out a curse.
He just emitted a large ray of light from his hand, tearing out three or four Quasai demons from the void, but the next moment the other demon's claw added three cuts behind him, if it weren't for the double chain mail jamming that claw, I'm afraid that the human race would lose its combat effectiveness - the demon's claws have a strong toxin on them, and a drop of sticky drops in ordinary people will cause fatal weakness!
The hearts of all those who knew anything about the devil sank.
Summoning spells can also bring demons, but those projection effects created with magic are generally relatively short-lived and will dissipate quickly, and if these things are made from other sources, then they will not be subject to any time constraints and will be more difficult to deal with.
But Edward had something else on his mind.
If these things weren't summoned, then they came a little too timely - their own people entered the town in the evening, and now it has only been long after nightfall, of course, it is not ruled out that they are here for the souls of mortals, but the scale of this town is small, and their attacks are so precise - from the beginning of the raid, they have killed at least three or more knights, one paladin is seriously injured, and the civilians are also injured, but they are all some incidental.
In this way, it seems that the other party definitely has a clear purpose......
In other words, there is a high probability that there is a mole...... Or is this town actually under the control of the devil?"
The Spirit Crystal Servant crawled from the hunter's chest to his shoulder to get a better view of the surroundings, or rather the corpses that had just died—the excitement that came from the psychic connection made Edward reach out and flick it: "It shouldn't be enough, otherwise, there would be no need for the militia to participate in the battle at all...... And with the quantity and quality of the enemy, if they want to occupy this place, they will not have to spend too much effort. ”
But it's not a joke that the goddess of doom is used to throwing...... The boy's eyes tightened a little, and a vague thought rose in his heart, and the great danger in it made his nerves tense.
