Chapter 168: Shocking the locals
With the last bug hovering in the sky shot down, the battle of the frontal battlefield finally came to an end.
The withered soldiers in human form were dead everywhere, their corpses mostly covered in charred burns.
It was a sign of purification by the Light.
The fires that burned corpses and withered plants made a great contribution, and both torches and arrows could be "enchanted with holy light" anytime and anywhere.
Insect corpses are scattered everywhere, and most of them are hung directly from trees.
There was a disgusting rancid stench in the air, which had a special flavor under the scorching flames of holy light.
It's finally over.
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Human, elf, half-elf.
Regardless of the previous estrangement and prejudice, the joy of the aftermath will unite everyone for the time being.
Todd looked at his teammates who were injured on the other hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to the human warriors who stood up to the front row.
With the blessing of the Shadow Protection, they were not afraid of the power of the wither, and did not let go of the group of withered warriors who were like self-detonating infantry.
Especially Mr. Bedwell.
He was the first to stand in the way, like a solid reef, standing still in the turbulence.
"Oh, yes, thank you just now."
Todd looked at the elven girl who had reminded him so many times.
She was clearly familiar with the nature of the bugs, and every reminder was just right.
The other party is one of the seven survivors, but he always wraps his head tightly, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.
But when he saw it, he was stunned.
Those eyes were now narrowed into a slit, as if they couldn't be opened at all.
Is it like this?
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine......"
The elf girl hurriedly avoided his gaze, subconsciously wanting to escape, but turned her head and crashed into Gray Moon's arms.
"Ouch...... Big sister head. ”
"Don't move."
Gray Moon lifted her headscarf and looked at it, and said with a serious expression:
"Your allergic reaction is too bad, you need to get out of here."
She beckoned to Todd, who immediately ran over.
In his mind, this athletic, lone wolf-like female archer is what an elf should be.
"You're looking for me?"
Gray Moon said neatly: "Her name is Lily, she is allergic to the smell of insects, please send her back to your town." ”
Todd then noticed that Lily's face was high and swollen, and her eyes were actually squeezed into a slit, which looked strange and scary.
No wonder......
But—
After all, the other party is not his boss, and it would be too child's play to walk away at this time.
Todd shook his head and said, "Ma'am, I ......"
"I'll give you permission to leave the team for the time being."
Bedwell walked over.
Todd immediately puffed out his chest.
"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
Lily wanted to say something, but was glared at by Gray Moon, and obediently kept her mouth shut.
After the two left, Gray Moon looked at the young paladin.
"Have you figured out how to answer me?"
Becky shook her head.
The other party refers to the fact that the support promised by Eternal Dawn has gone.
"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about it."
Gray Moon couldn't help but sneer: "So after a long time, we are just small fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river?" ”
Xiao Bei was silent, but then said seriously:
"Mister Heine must know something, he's the only survivor of the boneyard."
"The necromancer? You say he's from the boneyard?? ”
Gray Moon almost laughed, but the serious eyes of the paladin in front of her made her unable to laugh.
"Isn't this a joke? He...... Is it really from the boneyard? ”
"Yes."
Bedwell said with all seriousness.
Gray Moon frowned uncontrollably.
This is ridiculous......
Possess four skeletons that can kill a level 5 blight boss in an instant.
Such a person turned out to be from the Burial Ground of the Dead Academy in the mountains of Mackara......
If this is true, the intelligence department of the Green Leaf Court is a joke.
If this is not true, then the four-nation pact is a joke.
Wait a minute......
Survivor?
"What's wrong with the bones?" She asked hurriedly.
Xiaobei was speechless for a while, but she still explained the Holy Light Judgment that day in a few words.
He didn't say anything about the Holy Light Energy Storage Well, after all, the other party didn't ask.
Gray Moon didn't say anything after hearing this, just nodded.
"The remaining five guys are good scouts and know enough about the blight to help me take care of them.
"I would advise you to withdraw, though, for it is not known how those humans will resist the withering, but this state of euphoria will not last long.
"In our experience, these three areas are independent of each other, and since the support is from the swarm, it means that the distress signal has been sent.
"But the leader here is dead, it can only be that Heine did it on purpose, and there should be no more enemy attacks in the future.
"In short, I hope the Light has not failed me this time."
With that, she had gone into the depths.
Xiaobei opened his mouth and looked at this dashing back, but he didn't have time to stop it.
He would have said that the fog had cleared and the airship could now fly at low altitudes.
But the other party is so decisive, probably because he trusts his feet more......
…
After walking away, the gray moon felt tiredness come over like a mountain.
She was already at the end of her crossbow, and she experienced another battle.
Although the intensity is not high, after all, it is to regain her spirits, and she is now soaked in exhaustion from the inside out.
"I knew I should have asked if that airship could fly......
In short, I regret it very much.
The fog in the flower-stricken area is rapidly fading, and the withered plants that were dormant before have also stopped moving.
Coupled with the trails left by the warrior brother who raged all the way, Gray Moon quickly approached the location of the communication station.
In the distance, she heard the roar of a giant transport bug, and a roar that made her shudder.
That's the overlord of the insect plague area, Unek (Brother Niu)!
Invulnerable, infinite force.
Over the past few decades, many of her companions have perished.
Even the tree herdsman, who had turned into a giant bear, was vulnerable to the black wormman.
However, when she arrived faster, she was stunned.
It was indeed Unek who roared.
But it looks like ...... It's like a stupid bear with a head in his arms.
The Holy Light Skull stood in front of it, like a weak child, wielding the same pitch-black shield and slapping it on Unek's body.
His body was bathed in a thick layer of golden light, far more dazzling than she had ever seen in Bedwell.
There were also even more extensive golden flames on the ground.
Unek's body was covered with burns, and the burning pain seemed to sink deep into his soul.
The skeleton was not in a hurry, but just flapped again and again, and his steps were calm and not leaking.
Flames splashed like fireworks in full bloom in the night.
If this side is just like fireworks, then the other side is really fireworks.
Six giant transport insects float in the sky.
The robed black skeleton was wielding a staff of white bones.
Pitch-black flames poured out from the tip of the staff, like black butterflies swept up by the wind, flying around the giant transport insects in the sky.
This giant insect is also a difficult opponent in the infested area.
They have rough skin and thick flesh, and their bodies are covered with fluorescent spots with their own invisibility, and they move silently, often appearing abruptly in unmarked corners.
Once it happens, it means a catastrophe.
They will either spew out a belly full of filth, or they will produce a steady stream of larvae that only have a day's lifespan.
Half of the infestation's notoriety comes from this disgusting creature, and God knows how tormenting they are.
Now, however, it is these giant worms that are being tormented.
They are covered in fire, but their bellies are constantly contracting, and each time they squeeze out a larva and spread their wings to fly towards the skeleton.
But these extremely fast, unpredictable bugs were shot down by the flames in mid-air.
The insect corpses were like rain, spreading a thick layer on the ground, and even buried the corpses of four giant insects......
They don't run away.
Ash Moon thought to herself.
Observers of the infested area have long had the conjecture that the swarm is absolutely obedient to orders from above.
This situation was obviously not expected by the "leader" of the insect-infested area.
What a horrible guy......
The combat power of these skeletons was significantly higher than when they worked together to kill the Cannibal Flower before.
Her gaze fell on Heine, who was standing in front of the Mage's Tower.
Sure enough, the necromancer's personal control only made the summon stronger.
Gray Moon stepped forward quickly.
