Chapter 42: The Knights of the Manor Division
As one foot stepped into the courtyard, the sky immediately became gloomy.
Todd was swayed by the cold wind, but soon a large, warm hand was on his back.
"Regiment, regimental commander?"
"It's alright, recruit, is it your first encounter with necromancy? Haha, just get used to it. β
Jason, the head of the regiment with a scar on his face, patted him on the shoulder.
"It's all scare-inducing stuff, there's nothing to be afraid of."
The other party's armor shone with a faint golden glow, and there was a feeling of holiness and warmth.
It was one of the deposits paid in advance by the client, a set of armor enchanted with the power of primary holy light protection and barriers, and the price was 40 gold coins each.
In addition, there are ten weapons that enchant the power of minor judgment, and it costs more than 80 gold coins to purchase from the Lion King Trading House, which is also a lot of money for their mercenary group.
After calming the recruits, Jason gestured to the crowd behind him.
"Purifying Arrow, Holy Light Phlogist Bottle, ReadyβRelease!"
In an instant, ten golden enchanted arrows shot out at different areas of the wall, and the arc light lit up the night sky.
Bottles flickering with golden flames were also deliberately thrown towards the windows and terrace areas.
The sound of banging and colliding was incessant.
Dry vines and creepers were instantly set on fire.
Bursts of green light flashed across the mottled walls, trying to extinguish the flames like a waterfall.
The two forces pulled back and forth, devouring each other, and the battle was fierce.
Jason waved:
"Go onβlet's go!"
This time it was ordinary fire bolts and Molotov cocktails, and their families couldn't afford to make them.
The orange flames melted into the pale gold and raged on the walls, and the screams of the geists could be faintly heard as they were scorched.
After draining three-quarters of the reserves, the magical shell on the castle finally dissipated.
The roaring light of the fire lit up the excitement on everyone's faces.
"Necromancy is nothing to fear!"
"What a haunted manor, but that's it!"
"Keep setting fires and burn them!"
Jason was satisfied with the pain in his flesh at the same time.
This time, the client was generous, and the value of the deposit alone exceeded 100 gold coins.
So they roared that the mercenary group was not stingy and spent a huge amount of money on these consumables.
As a family of necromancers who have been entrenched here for many years, Gityl's manor is a small fortress in its own right, and it is worth such a cost.
Dylan Githil, on the other hand, doesn't care.
Although he is a necromancer close to the fourth level, he has lost a blood puppet and purified the entire evil farm by this generous holy light, and now he is a pheasant that has lost his hair, there is nothing to be afraid of!
As for that, what Heine......
It is said that this person was only expelled half a month ago, although I don't know where to get a few strange skeletons, but what is the use of that?
A stealthy skeleton wanderer, a skeleton warrior who fears the Light......
It's just skeletons.
It is not worth mentioning in front of their mercenary group with rich combat experience and tacit cooperation.
Recruit Todd was also in high spirits, but at this moment, he saw a slightly bloated figure appear on the balcony on the third floor.
He sneakily dodged the flames and threw three or five jars in this direction with great speed.
Todd immediately shot an arrow, but there was someone in the team who was faster than him!
Whoosh!
Arrows pierced the night sky, and jars exploded one after another above everyone's heads.
Seeing that the dust was about to fall into the pile, someone immediately untied a bulging pocket, and a gust of wind came out of it, blowing the dust back above the head and rolling it all into the fire.
"Hahahaha......"
The crowd laughed, but it soon came to an abrupt halt.
As unknown dust was swept into the fire, the flames quickly extinguished.
Everyone seemed to have been slapped in the face, and seeing that the momentum was blocked, Jason immediately decided:
"The magic of the castle is broken, ready to fight!"
A dazzling aura of holy light surged from his body, and he quickly stepped forward and kicked open the gate of the castle.
In an instant, countless black bats with red eyes flew out of it.
He held his sword in front of him, like a reef in a torrent, but the bats were shattered by the light.
Although he was able to perceive the Light, he did not go to the Church of the Light to be baptized.
It wasn't just a matter of not being in the organization, he couldn't transform his faith into a light that would never be extinguished.
A true paladin will not lack the protection of the Holy Light until the will to fight dies, but he has to store the Holy Light like a mage stores mana, using one point less.
But that's enough.
As Jason broke open the door like a sharp blade, Molotov cocktails and fire bolts shot in as if they didn't want money.
The hall on the first floor instantly turned into a sea of fire, and more than 20 people poured in violently.
At this moment, the armor, golems, and terrifyingly shaped skeletons and carrion possessed by the geism poured out from all directions.
However, in front of the boiling heat and the mercenaries, they fell like wheat.
"Keep each squad relatively concentrated and scattered, don't stay away from the big army!"
"Advance floor by floor, detect traps and evil before going up the stairs!"
"Stay on the lookout for stealth, beware of the opposing loiterer skeletons!"
Jason commanded loudly.
The team methodically cleared Dylan's inventory and made it to the second floor in one go.
Facing the deep, narrow hallway, Jason raised his hand and motioned to spread out on either side.
He gestured, and a dark-skinned, diminutive Konoo man walked to the hallway, surrounded by two guards.
He pressed his hands to the wooden floor, and the string of stones hanging from his neck began to tremble, glowing an earthy yellow.
A cloud of earthy light gradually converged, and as he chanted the awkward incantation, it suddenly surged forward!
Boom β
The earthy yellow air wave swept through the entire corridor like a raging wave!
Traps, traps, forbidden, hidden geisms......
Under the washing of the air waves, there is not even half of the slag left.
The once paved corridors have also been ravaged into rugged caverns.
The Konoo people are in a state of limbo, but the momentum of their teammates is getting higher and higher!
Jason waved his hand:
"Search every room thoroughly, forward!"
"Good!"
"Long live the regimental commander!"
The mercenaries shouted and rushed forward.
The remnants of the earthy smell and the cacophony of shouts diluted the fear, and they became more and more in a state of flux.
This will make them more vigilant, more flexible, and more excited.
But it's also more difficult to restrict.
Now that they were scattered in different rooms, Jason himself was on guard in the hallway, and the situation changed slightly.
"Gold! The candlestick is plated with a layer of gold! β
"There's a lighting stone on the wall!? It's too extravagant! β
"There is dried hemolytic grass on the shelf......"
Even if Jason tried his best to control, they couldn't be as disciplined as the military.
He didn't think about limiting it, and the battle was advancing to the point, and he really needed some lottery.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a scream from the end of the team.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! β
"It's the Wanderer Skeleton!"
"What about the trap? Didn't you say that you left a trap? β
Jason shouted, "Shut up! You idiots! I've said it's up to you guys to stay in formation! β
"The caster moves closer to the middle of the group, but what about the wanderer? What about our wanderers? Get that damn skeleton out for me! β
But as soon as he finished speaking, a young man in a black robe suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor.
"Heine Heinrich?"
Someone recognized him at a glance.
Jason's eyes lit up: "This is the mission goal, catch up!" Catch up! β
He always remembered that there were only three humans here.
Especially this guy in front of him, as long as he is killed, those three skeletons will also lose their combat effectiveness.
Jason rushed forward first!
Suddenly, a bloodied figure appeared in the corridor ahead, blocking his way.
Jason chuckled inwardly, but quickly realized that it wasn't Arthur.
If so, he's now been cut in half......
However, just as he didn't lose his speed and rushed straight towards the guy, his opponent made a move that he couldn't forget.
The other party squatted slightly, and then took a big step forward.
Rumble!
A large cloud of golden flames spilled out from under the opponent's feet, spreading everywhere in the narrow corridor, at least three or four meters wide!
From that flame, he felt a familiar ripple.
and scorching heat......
This is......
Holy Light?
β¦β¦
"Cool!!"
A dedication stepped out, and the sheep cried excitedly.
"Do you know how long dude has been looking forward to this day?
"Stepping on dedication in the corridor, I have never thought about it in my life!"
Mr. Sa: "Do you have any explanation?" I just remember the saying 'Paladins in the Manor', so I didn't have any Knights in Haunted Manor, Nightmare Manor, or Crimson Manor. β
Teacher Xia: "Dedication in a small space will spread and stretch like a fungus blanket, and the isolation barrier cannot cover it. The characteristics of the Holy Light are blazing and conspicuous, just like a lamp at night, which will pull all the monsters in the spherical area with a radius of 20 meters whose perception is greater than the baseline value and are hostile to the Holy Light, which can be called a group annihilation engine. β
Mr. Sa: "...... Grass, it's good that I haven't formed a holy knight. β
Catch sheep: "Heh, you hunter are embarrassed to talk about me?" I'm sorry, but I don't have a hunter group when I play the copy of the cramped space. β
Mr. Sa: "You discriminate against Lao Tzu? β
Teacher Xia: "Falling star shooting smashes the floor, barrage shooting drills the wall, if you want me to say that you two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks don't dislike anyone, add an ancestor, shake the five fathers to make noise with each other, and the soul fluctuation can make the tail king from the top of the building to the first floor." β
"Hahaha......"
Mr. Sa changed the topic awkwardly: "Anyway, these people look quite professional, how is the situation inside you, buddies are already in place outside." β
Catching sheep: "Heine's hatred is stable, and sure enough, the eldest brother's ass is the artifact of the group, and I have the enemy here, and I can't open it if I am a husband." β
"Where's Teacher Xia?"
Teacher Xia: "I can only say invincible!" You know how cool it feels to be entangled in a vampire vine? Lao Tzu is Spider-Man now! I'm at least 14 agility now, what's that concept? Kill!
"They couldn't have imagined I could crawl over top of them, I was really crawling, buddy! Coupled with the sixth-level stealth, their wanderers are all dead, there are vampire vines, and the corpses are not on the ground! β
Mr. Sa: "You have a good use for killing indiscriminately, can you still jump into their crowd from the top of your head to open Wushuang?" β
Catch the sheep: "Don't tell me, he really did it." β
Mr. Sa: "Huh? β
β¦
In the corridor at this time, when Jason was stopped by a sheep catcher.
Smack, smack, smack!
It was impossible to hear how many bottles had been smashed on the walls, on the floor, and on the ceiling.
Yellow-green, gray-black, moist, dry, sticky, bursting......
All kinds of powders, mist, and slime instantly enveloped the entire hallway.
Screams rang out one after another.
