Volume 33 The Battle for the Restoration Chapter 3 Goodbye Depero

Coming to the two of them, the necromantic knight stared at the two of them, the ghostly fire in his eyes was blazing, and under the empty mask, the gap slowly emitted black qi outward, which made people feel cold.

After a moment's stalwart, the Necro Knight raised his long knife in his hand, and Raymond and Lorna also made a defensive gesture. However, the combat strength of the two sides is too different, and with the current situation of the two of them, the next blow will definitely cause serious injuries or even deaths.

At this critical moment, a gust of wind was heard in the air, and a white figure burst out from an unnoticed corner and rushed towards the Necromantic Knight.

At this moment, the long knife of the Necromantic Knight was about to swing down, and when he heard that something was wrong behind him, he had no time to react.

Catwoman swooped down on the Necro Knight's back, her legs neatly wrapped around its neck, her cutlass thrusting into the gap in her armor at its shoulder.

While Necro Rider is extremely tolerant to physical attacks, Catwoman's scimitar is silver-plated, making it extremely damaging to the undead. A howl was heard, and a large amount of black gas oozed from the cracks in the backpacks of the Necro Knight, and its attack came to an abrupt halt.

"What, that abominable cat manβ€”" Seeing Bath suddenly kill halfway, the necromancer was shocked and angry.

Catwoman had disappeared into the dimly lit basement since she had just begun, but the necromancer had his own enchantment protection and was not afraid of sneak attacks, and his attention was attracted by the battle over there, so he didn't care for a while.

At the critical moment, Baste, who used the scout skill to hide in the shadows, actually attacked the Necro Knight.

Wounded by the silver knife, the Necro Knight let out a terrifying scream, and for a moment it was unable to raise its sword, so it abandoned the knife and grabbed at Barste on its back.

At this moment, Lorna saw the opportunity to leap forward, and the great sword in her hand slashed at the neck of the necromantic knight.

However, the opponent's body is protected by thick armor. In his haste, the Necro Knight tilted his head, and Lorna's sword got stuck in his neck armor.

Unexpectedly, he would be in a hurry in front of these small humans, and the Necro Knight, in his rage, ignored Baste on his back, and kicked Lorna with all his might.

Lorna was startled and hurriedly drew her sword and retreated, but it was still a step too late. The Necro Knight kicks Lorna in the lower abdomen. The knight's sword in her abdomen immediately dented, and Lorna spurted a mouthful of blood, throwing her whole body backwards.

But after such a serious injury, Lorna's long-term training habits kept Lorna in her grip on the hilt, so the greatsword was thrown up with Lorna's back, priing the Necroknight's helmet crookedly aside.

The Necro Knight wore heavy full-body armor, with no exposure from the top and bottom of his body, and even his fingers were wrapped in thick iron armor. Not to mention the heads, all under the helmet. There is only a slit in the eye, which usually looks terrifying and mysterious.

At this time, its helmet was pried open, and only a thick black gas was under the mask, and there was no substance. In fact, the black qi in the armor is the body of the necromantic knight, so after being killed, a large amount of black qi escapes, and its armor will all collapse.

Shocked by what was seen. But Raymond was also aware of this fleeting opportunity. I saw him rush forward quickly and pull out a bursting bomb from his arms. Knocked the protrusion of the tip against the hilt of the sword, and thrust it into the Necro Knight's mask.

This burst bomb was carried by Raymond for self-defense, and he had never dared to use it before, because it had no effect on the thick armor of the Necroknight, and the limited space in the basement could easily injure his own people.

Now see the Necro Knight's helmet crooked. He immediately seized the opportunity and threw it into the opponent's body.

There was a thud as the blast collided with the Necroknight's armor and fell from its neck into its body.

Although he didn't know what the other party threw in, the Necro Knight didn't feel good, and he waved his hand violently. Pushed Raymond out of the way.

"Bath, let's go!" Raymond shouted as he flew out.

Hearing this, Bast, who was hovering on the back of the Necro Knight, immediately flipped over nimbly and dodged.

There was no time to get the contents out of his body, so the Necro Knight put his helmet straight and simply chased after Raymond with a long knife, intending to deal with him first.

However, before he could take two steps, he heard a loud and dull noise in the basement.

I saw that through the gap in the armor of the Necromantic Knight's body, a ball of fire suddenly flashed, and countless small bumps arched one after another on the surface of the armor of his body, quickly covering his body, which was the bump formed by the steel ball hitting the armor after the explosion of the explosive bomb.

As if stunned for a moment, the Necromantic Knight looked down at the countless small bulges on his body in amazement, and then the deck between his chest and abdomen seemed to be torn apart by a pair of giant hands, and the tight and thick armor exploded from the inside out, and a ball of flames erupted from the explosion to all sides, and in an instant, a furious rush swept through the entire basement.

Raymond was pushed into the distance, but he was still knocked to the ground by this madness, and the zombies and skeletons around him also fell, and the entire basement shook with it, and countless dust and sand fell down to the ground.

Thanks to the explosion inside the Necro Knight's body, the power of the blaster was suppressed, so it didn't collapse. However, the damage suffered by the Necro Knight can be imagined, the thick armor is like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, its chest and back have been torn open a large transparent hole, and the helmet has been blown away by the blast current, leaving only a cloud of black gas around the head.

When... The long knife in the Necroknight's hand fell to the ground, its hands clutched in front of its chest, and its throat made a meaningless muffled sound, as if trying to plug the large hole in its body.

But immediately after, he heard a whistling sound, and in an instant, from the large hole in his chest, countless black qi spurted out wildly. And with the eruption of black gas, the Necro Knight fell to his knees, and the armor supporting his body quickly shrank and collapsed like a leaky ball.

At the end of the day, the once formidable necromantic knight turned into a mass of scrap metal on the ground and died completely.

"Lorna, you're fine. Raymond got up from the ground and helped Lorna up.

She was hit hard by the Necro Knight, but fortunately, the armor on her body lost most of her strength, and Lorna nodded weakly: "It's okay." I'm ashamed, it looks like I need more exercise. ”

That being said, it was just now up to Lorna to withstand most of the Necroknight's attacks. The mere fact that you can not die under the Necro Knight is enough to be admired. At her age, Lona's swordsmanship has actually reached an extremely high level.

"You... What did you do?"

At this time, the necromancer at the gate of the corridor looked at the debris of the explosion and muttered in disbelief.

"Your trump card has been killed. Raymond said to him, "Whoever knows each other surrenders quickly, and tells us where Loren will come from." ”

"Damn. Kill them for me!" The necromancer screamed.

The remaining zombies and skeletons immediately rushed towards the three of them, and Raymond said in a deep voice, "Bath, don't let him run!"

"Meow, leave it to me!" Baster agreed, reflexively kicking a few steps against the wall to avoid the undead, and rushed towards the necromancer.

At the same time, Raymond stepped up with his sword, creating an opportunity for Bathter. Lorna also suppressed the injury and stepped forward to help. Without the Necromantic Knight, the remaining undead are no match for the two at all.

Baster rushed to the necromancer and slashed at him again, but was still bounced off by the barrier. However, without fear, Catwoman rushed up again without stopping, and began to attack the enchantment continuously.

Looking at the surface of the enchantment like the surface of the water on a rainy day, frantically rippling in circles, the necromancer was shocked and frightened. Attacked by Catwoman herself. Not far away, Raymond and Lorna were destroying the remaining undead like chopping melons and vegetables, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for him.

Then. Under Baster's constant blows, a crack has appeared on the surface of the barrier, and it is about to be shattered.

"Meow, you're done, don't run if you have a kind!" In the excitement, the knife in Catwoman's hand slashed more cheerfully.

Shocked. The necromancer involuntarily stepped back. Suddenly, he heard Bathter's words, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

yes, what am I doing here, run.

While scolding himself for being stupid. Standing here stupidly watching Catwoman attack the enchantment, the necromancer turned around and ran, and his figure quickly disappeared into the dark corridor.

Seeing this, Catwoman was anxious: "Shameless, didn't you say that you are not allowed to run?"

At this moment, I heard a whistling sound, and a heavy object spun and flew towards it, hitting the barrier hard, but it was Raymond who threw out the heavy sword in his hand.

The barrier on the verge of collapse could no longer withstand such a heavy blow, and immediately shattered.

"Bath, chase after him, don't let him run!" Raymond shouted from behind.

Catwoman said yes, and immediately passed through the entrance, chasing straight into the corridor.

At this time, Lorna had just smashed the last skeleton soldier, holding on to her sword and panting.

Raymond walked to the side of the corridor and stared nervously inside. If the necromancer was allowed to escape, not only would they be able to bring reinforcements, but they would also not be able to ask for information about Loraine.

Time passed slowly in anxious waiting, and after a while, I suddenly heard a chaotic sound in the dark corridor, followed by a scream, and then fell silent.

Raymond couldn't help but exhale, he knew that Bath had already succeeded.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw Barstone drag the necromancer out of the corridor. In order to prevent the other party from resisting, Baster very simply cut off his two arms.

One threw the necromancer to the ground, and Catwoman put the cutlass around his neck.

Then, Raymond squatted down and smiled at the terrified necromancer: "Hey, ask you something, which tunnel will Loren come out of later?"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Depero hurried through the tunnels, urging the skeletons behind him.

Each of the skeletons carried a large bag containing belongings that Denek had left too late to take with him, as well as some important documents from the Central Council.

Despite his outward appearance of Loraine, Depero is well aware of his status in the Necromancer's Guild. In order to hold back the invading Sidonis cult and cover the withdrawal of the guild, Denek ordered him to stay in the city and leave the secret passage only at the last moment.

Depero did not dare to disobey, so after the city was broken, he led the remaining mercenaries very "heroically" to defend the Central Council, which also boosted the morale of many people. It wasn't until the Sidonis army had completely captured the council that he took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Presently. Depero is the only necromancer in Sonali. Cursing his bad luck in his heart, he ran down the tunnels in the hope of escaping the damn place as quickly as possible.

"Quick, you idiots!"

Anxious, Depero couldn't help but turn back to the skeletons, though he knew full well that words were useless to them.

That's it. The group quickly passed through the long tunnel and came to the wide underground space.

"It's... Here it is!?"

When he saw the scene in the basement, Depero stopped.

A torch was stuck in the wall of the wide basement, and the dim light of the fire lit up the place, and the ground was littered with the broken corpses of the undead, and the air was filled with a strong smell of corruption.

Depero knew very well that Denecke had arranged for someone to pick him up, and as long as he got here, he would be able to escape from the city smoothly. However, the remains of the dead are all over the ground at this moment. Something must have happened.

"Oops, could it be that the secret passage has been discovered by the Sidonis cult?" said Depero, with a look of panic on his face.

He was forcibly transformed into a necromancer by Denek, except for dressing up as Loran, he has almost no magic power, and the few skeleton soldiers behind him are also to carry property, not even weapons, and there is no resistance at all once he is in danger.

If it falls into the hands of those religious fanatics... De Pero no longer dared to imagine what fate awaited him.

Do you move on? or go back? Neither seems to work.

Just as Depero was stunned, a figure flashed in the dark secret passage opposite. Something seems to be coming closer.

Depero was startled, and hurriedly said in a nervous manner: "Who is it?"

Subsequently. I saw a thin figure in a white robe appear at the entrance of the tunnel, half-hidden in the dim light.

Seeing the other party, Depero breathed a sigh of relief: "Togue, why are you only here now." Also, what's going on here?"

The man known as Togue did not say a word, just as Depero wondered. I saw Torg slowly walk out of the darkness of the tunnel. Immediately after, Depero's expression of relaxation suddenly became suspicious.

I saw that Togue's whole body was limp, his head was lowered, and he seemed to be unconscious. And as his figure gradually appeared, Depero suddenly saw that there was a pair of hands behind Togue's back.

Depero was sluggish. At this time, I also knew that something must have happened to Lu Dao. Frightened, he turned and ran, trying to escape through the tunnels behind him.

However, as soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw a white shadow fly out of one of the tunnel exits in the wall, knocking Depero to the ground.

At the same time, another slender figure also rushed out of the tunnel on the other side, knocking out all the skeleton soldiers in an instant.

"Who are you..."Before Depero could finish his words, the knife in the hands of the man who pressed on him flashed, cutting off his hands, and then a scimitar pressed against Depero's neck.

"Don't move, or I'll cut off your head. ”

Only then did Depero realize that it was a white cat man who attacked him. He recognized him at once, for he would never forget the orc named Baster, and that she was here, and that another nasty fellow might be here.

The guy who threw himself out of Headington and got himself to where he is now...

Sure enough, after subduing Depero, he saw Bath raise his head and say, "Young master, it's successful." ”

Depero reluctantly turned his head to look back, only to see Togue's body being thrown away, and the owner of the hands was exposed, and it was Raymond as expected.

Walking up to Depero, Raymond looked at him condescendingly: "President Loraine, long time no see." ”

Although he didn't know how the other party found here, Depero knew that things would not be good today, and under the intense fear, he said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to do?"

In Raymond's eyes, Loraine's frightened look was really incomprehensible. After all, no matter how the other party said it, he was also the head of the Necromancer Guild, how could he be so useless?

Baster obviously thought the same way, and after glancing at Raymond, Catwoman said in a deep voice, "Meow, don't play tricks, or I'll kill you." ”

Depero knew that this ruthless cat man did what he said, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I understand." ”

"Why are you here?" asked Raymond.

Depero replied, "To hold back the Sidonis Sect, because our guild has a lot of things to transport outside the city. ”

Raymond's eyes narrowed: "So, the things in the vault were moved by you?"

"Yes, all the treasures of the vault were sent out of this tunnel a few days ago. Depero replied honestly.

Raymond secretly said that this was indeed the case, a few days ago the sect army was still attacking the city, and it was indeed the only way to move the treasure from here. It seems that the necromancer has long been preparing to abandon the Rawitt Federation.

"Where did all those things go?" Raymond asked, following closely.

Depero shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Meow, nonsense, how could you not know what to do!" Bath snorted angrily, pressing the scimitar down, and the blade immediately pierced Depero's skin.

Depero hurriedly said: "I, I really don't know, this matter was done by Denek and the new emir. ”

The more he spoke to Depero. The more Raymond felt that something was wrong, the other party did not look like the leader of a guild in terms of words or demeanor. Moreover, no matter who stays and delays, it shouldn't be done by him, the president, otherwise it will be too selfless.

And Depero's words just now made Raymond confirm his guess. If Loren was really the president, how could he be ignorant of such an important matter.

It is reminiscent of the battle with the sea dragon and the battle with the army of the undead. I have hardly ever seen the rumored president...

"Something is wrong, Lord Raymond. At this time, Loraine, who had been listening, said to Raymond, and it was obvious that she had also seen the clues.

"Yes, young master, it is too easy to subdue him. Baste also said.

Previously, because they learned that it was the president of the Necromancer Guild who they were going to deal with, the three of them were all very nervous, and not only set up an ambush. Various strategies have been set for coping with the situation. As soon as Baste made a move, he subdued Depero. The fact that the envisaged hard battle did not take place at all raises great suspicions.

Raymond nodded, and said in a sudden deep voice, "Who are you?"

Seeing Raymond say this, Depero thought that his disguise had been seen through, and hurriedly said: "Lord Raymond, don't do it." I... I'm Depero. ”

"What!?" Raymond and Baster looked at each other.

Watch as Depero dismantles the camouflage magic outside his body. Gradually regaining his original appearance, Raymond's surprise can be imagined.

Since the failed rebellion several years ago and Depero escaped from Headington, there has been no news. After so many years, I thought he had died in some unknown place, but I didn't know that I would see him again in such a form today.

"How did you become a necromancer? Where is the real Loraine. After being stunned for a while, Raymond couldn't help but ask.

Depero did not hide it, and brought himself back to Sonali by Paist in 1510, and then defected to Denek to become a necromancer, and took control of the Central Council in place of Loren after his death, as well as a series of changes within the Necromancer's Guild, etc., all of which were briefly said.

After the death, he said: "After Loraine died, Denek became the president of the guild, and I was forcibly left behind by him. Lord Raymond, all those things were done by Denek before, and it's really none of my business. ”

At this point, De Perro has thought it clearly. In the hands of Raymond, he has no power to resist at all, for the sake of his life, it is better to cooperate obediently.

Moreover, he pretended to be Loraine, although he looked beautiful on the surface, he knew that he had no status within the Necromancer Guild, he was just a tool in Deneck's hands, and he was cannon fodder that could be sacrificed at any time. The forced stay in Sonali this time is a case in point, and if he dies here, Denek will not have the slightest regret.

At the same time, from Depero's words, Raymond also understood a lot of antecedents and consequences. It's no wonder that Lorrain has not been seen since the first battle of the Ravut Federation, and it turns out that Denek has already seized the position of guild leader.

After losing control of the sea dragon and destroying the fleet, the necromancer knew that he could not gain a foothold in Rawitt, so he decided to abandon Sonali City long ago.

The previous frantic counterattack of the undead army, in addition to venting their anger to retaliate against Hydington and the Sidonis Sect, was also to cover their transfer of the huge property of the Lawitt Federation.

With this treasure, the necromancer can make a comeback at any time.

Thinking about these things, Raymond hurriedly asked, "If you get out of the city smoothly, where are you going to meet them?"

Depero did not hesitate and immediately named a location: "As instructed, after Togue picks me up, I will take these things there and leave together." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the packages that had fallen to the ground after the skeleton soldiers had been killed. In addition to some of the belongings that were not taken away, more important were the important documents of the Central Council.

"Take us there at once. Raymond said. Time was running out, and it was too late to move reinforcements, so Raymond made a quick decision and decided to find out the situation first.

Then, under the watchful eye of the three, Depero led them to the predetermined location. (To be continued......)
