The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 651 The battle with monsters

Under William's control, the flame seemed to have life, obediently burning out a passage of ashes more than ten miles long, but it did not cause even a forest fire to spread, but it made all the subordinates admire And quite sigh.

Fire Lord!Sure enough, it lived up to the name of the leader of the flame series of creatures.

When William and the others came to a flat valley, they saw many dilapidated and collapsed houses. These were the relics left by the original pioneers. They once built villages here to reclaim farmland and wanted to develop Dagger Hill into a The civilized area suitable for human habitation, but the great cause collapsed in the middle of the road, leaving only a bleak ruins to tell the aspirations of the ancestors of Dagger Valley.

The vegetation in the valley was sparse and scattered, and there were no annoying thorns blocking the way, so everyone dispersed into several combat teams and entered the valley to investigate.Each squad is a fully equipped combat team, except for William, who is serving as a reserve team, Phinea and two little girls, Cheval Star Robe, and Druid Conger Wolf Soul are All members of his group.

After a few days of working in groups, Feniya found that she still preferred to charge by William's side, leaving the two little guys behind because William was worried about separating them, because he already felt a faint crisis pervading the air. In all directions of the valley, even the air is not very safe.

As for Cheval Starcloak and Druid, they are two unstable additions. Whether they want to rebel or plan some small calculations, at least under William's nose, these two are not weak. The guy shouldn't be able to make waves.

Everyone didn't find any problems in the abandoned village. Except for the footprints and remains of wild beasts, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

But when William and his group stepped into the ruins of the village, the situation became different.

William kicked away a pile of rotten wood, revealing a covered cellar.Opening the entrance of the cellar, a strong stench came to the face, accompanied by a beast-like roar.

Cheval Starcloak cast [Light Art] on a wooden stick, making it emit bright light like a fluorescent stick, and then the half-elf threw the glowing wooden stick into the cellar.

The magical light illuminated the dark cellar, presenting the situation inside to the eyes of William and others.The cellar is full of incomplete bones. These bones include beasts and humanoid creatures. Most of them have turned into white bones covered with bite marks, but a small part is rotting, and several of them are terrifying. The monsters were crouching in the pile of carrion, devouring the carrion while staring at the cellar mouth with evil charcoal eyes.

It turned out to be a group of ghouls, and they were still being raised.

Ghouls look a bit like the lickers in Resident Evil, but they are smarter. They retain all the wisdom and knowledge in life. When they transform from living creatures to evil monsters, their minds become more intelligent. Concentrated, and therefore more cunning and ferocious.

The only thing that can limit the wisdom of ghouls is their unquenchable hunger for the flesh and blood of living creatures, but this does not mean that ghouls will eat fresh meat alive, on the contrary they will kill their prey first, Then eat the flesh of the dead body, which is rather strange.

It's not uncommon for ghouls to live in abandoned cellars, but it's not unusual for them to be able to live comfortably in a closed cellar, even if it's filled with rotting flesh.

When the ghouls are full, their former wisdom will come back online, and then do some things that normal intelligent creatures usually do, but they will never hide in the cellar and be raised as pigs.

The individual combat power of ghouls is relatively strong. Except for William and his family, Baird, who has improved a lot in terms of personal force alone, is qualified to kill an ordinary ghoul head-on. Aside from spells, there is almost no power that can face a ghoul alone.

William summoned all the combat teams back, and he planned to let these titular elites practice with these ghouls, and this plan was unanimously approved by the big guys. use.

It was very easy to lure the ghouls out of the cellar. Any one of the two little guys showed up at the cellar entrance, which immediately caused a riot among these monsters. Yes, their desire for cubs was even stronger.

What?You asked why you didn't fight ghouls in the cellar, not to mention the small space in the cellar, and the dead bones all over the floor made it impossible for any combat team to use it, not to mention that ghouls don't pay attention to chivalry. The ghost will helplessly watch a companion being beaten by a group of living creatures.

The most deadly point is that if these ghouls rise up in groups, they will be able to tear apart any elite group except William's group in the blink of an eye.

Ghouls are prone to skin burns from the scorching midday sun, but that doesn't mean they can't be active during the day. They hate light but are not afraid.

So when Misha made a small appearance at the entrance of the cellar, the ghouls immediately let out a violent roar, and then they swarmed towards the cellar.

A ghoul jumped out of the cellar and landed on the specially cleaned open space, while the rest of the ghouls were pulled back by William with a stick. They tried several times in a row, but they still couldn't Breaking through William's block, he could only shrink in the cellar, powerless and furious.

And the situation facing the rushing ghoul is not very optimistic, a standard combat team has already been waiting in front of it.

A standard combat team generally consists of two to three sword and shield warriors, one or two strong warriors who use long-handled axes and halberds, and then three rangers who are good at using bows and crossbows. The rest is responsible for providing spells Supported spellcasters include but are not limited to mages, warlocks, druids, or priests.

Of course, in William's team, successful spellcasters are relatively rare. Except for Cheval Starcloak, a high-level mage protector, the only one left is Diya, a newly promoted junior mage who is still reliable, and the others are basically half-baked. Apprentices or poor amateur players, under normal circumstances, they are much more reliable in using crossbows than in casting spells.

The first combat group to meet the test was the one led by Baird. In this group, only Baird and another not-so-strong sword-and-shield warrior acted as the leader, on both sides and in the middle behind him. There are three long-armed warriors, two of them use long forks, the third is carrying a single-edged axe, and behind them are three rangers who are waiting for their bows, as well as the poor warlock Avelda and a German Apprentice Rui.

Evelda is also the older sister of Goreto, another half-baked sorcerer, the so-called cow Bichi in Diya's mouth.

Avelda can use two kinds of tricks, namely [Reading Magic] and [Magic Trick]. It is these two spells that have won Avelda a lot of fame that Diya envied.

Of course, these two spells of Avrilda are basically useless now. For her, a well-stringed steel crossbow can help her teammates more than any spells.

Facing the jumping ghoul, Baird yelled "Wilzer!" and called his sword and shield companions to charge the enemy together.It's a pity that this sword and shield warrior named Wilzer was not as brave as expected. He hesitated involuntarily, which inevitably caused flaws in the cooperation between him and Baird.

It wasn't until Baird rushed in front of the ghoul that he realized that his companion hadn't rushed to where he should be in time.

Facing the stench of carrion and the greedy and cruel gaze of the ghoul, Baird had no time to retreat, so he could only muster up his courage, holding up the fire copper and steel shield and slapping the target covered with pus on the rotting skin.

Pus and carrion slag splashed for a while, but Baird's shield attack did not cause any real blow to the ghoul. The reason is very simple, ghouls are undead creatures, and a heavy blow to the head will not make it sink hysteresis.

The ghoul took advantage of the situation and grabbed Baird's steel shield twice, leaving a few obvious scratches on the shield.But the impact caused by these two attacks made Baird couldn't help taking a step back.

It was this step of retreat that almost caused a catastrophe.

Let's say that Baird's group is responsible for besieging and killing the ghouls, and the remaining groups are divided into four positions, watching the battle to gain combat experience, and being vigilant at the same time.

And the two little girls and Finiya also stood not far away to watch the fun happily.

The vampire's blow delayed Baird's reaction, but he didn't continue to attack him. Instead, his legs curled up suddenly and then jumped up, like a jumping toad, he jumped in front of the sword and shield player Wilzer, a pair of hideous ghosts With a horizontal sweep of the claws, Wilzer was pulled and flew horizontally, and the steel shield he was holding also collapsed.

Just when everyone thought that the monster would continue to chase and kill Wilzer, the ghoul landed on all fours, dodging the ax warrior who hadn't reacted from the shock, then passed the ranger who was caught off guard, and ran straight to The female sorceress Avrilda and the druid apprentice standing at the back of the array.

The druid apprentice subconsciously gave himself a [Like Art] (increase a little temporary life), so that his body would be full of vitality, so that he could get an extra bargaining chip to save his life when he was raided later.

The ghoul's pounce is so fast that it is almost as swift as a big cat on the hunt.When Avelda realized that she was about to be the target of the monster's surprise attack, the ghoul had already mounted her face.

Avelda has the courage not to lose to a man. In the face of a fatal crisis, she did not panic like a coward. Instead, she endured the panic in her heart, and pointed the steel crossbow at the ugly face of the ghoul, and gave it a shot. A face-to-face crit.

The kinetic energy brought by the steel crossbow not only allowed the steel arrow to penetrate half of the ghoul's face, but also brought a glimmer of life to Avelda. The recoil force from the crossbow arm made her fall backwards, but Just avoided the ghoul's belly-breaking grab.

Normally, this didn't give the sorceress any advantage, because she certainly couldn't avoid the next wave of attacks from the ghouls.However, the real target of the ghoul has never been her, or anyone in the entire combat team.

The ghoul's goal has always been clear. It ran out after the human cub who lured it out of the cellar lair. The dessert was right in front of it. How could it "transfer love" if it was so focused.

It's just that the ugly and stupid appearance of the ghoul confuses everyone, making everyone think that it is an undead beast, while ignoring its true nature.

When Avelda lay on the ground, ready to face the attack of the ghoul, the ghoul abandoned her with disdain.Just when Avelda was about to lament that she survived the catastrophe, she heard Baird who turned around and shouted anxiously: "No! Damn monster! Come and face me!"

The sorceress suddenly turned her head, but saw a scene that horrified her inexplicably, and it was also a scene that most of the people present were terrified. The ghoul unexpectedly rushed in front of Misha'er.

Perhaps thinking that he has won the game, this cunning ghoul flipped its rotten tongue and said in a blunt tone: "Dear... small... baby... baby, get ready... welcome... Daddy's... gift...?"

This monster can actually speak in a common language, which is far beyond everyone's expectations, but now no one is in the mood to express emotion about it, no matter what these people think, they all show grief and panic The expression, the lord's own sister is about to perish in front of them, and the fool will make a mistake at this time.

But, another but, what happened next broke everyone's jaws.

Who is Misha? She is William's own sister, and is his most important bond in this world. The two siblings have always been dependent on each other.In the past two years, apart from the fact that the little guy needed to take care of his body at the beginning, William never let go of teaching Misha in the following days. He almost taught the little guy every step of the way.

Whether it's the development of her own blood or the practice of boxing, with the guidance of William, the guide, Misha'er has almost never made a detour, and the hard life of her childhood made the little guy understand the importance of strength, no matter whether there are people or not. The supervisor urged her that Misha'er has never slackened in strengthening herself.

But the little girl smiled sweetly at the ghoul, and said, "Monster, I have a gift for you too!" As she spoke, she stretched out her white and somewhat rough hand, and spread it on the face of the ghoul. Open, and then, a conical flame burst out from the little guy's palm.

[Flame in Palm], the first spell-like spell developed by William based on the blood of fire. Although William rarely uses this trick, it is almost useless to him now, but this trick is still used today, in Xiaomi Sha'er's hands bloomed with an unusual demeanor.

[Flame in Palm] is a spell-like spell that combines the double damage effects of fire damage and physical impact, but ghouls are always covered with corpse oil and pus, which allows them to keep their festered skin moist enough in the dry air. They can even stay safely in the sun for a period of time without being burned, but it also makes them extremely easy to be ignited by flames (only burns, but difficult to be burned to death).

This overconfident ghoul directly slapped the flames in the face, its flaming forehead was thrown back, its claws hurriedly slapped the flames on its face, and its claw-like soles swept viciously at the little guy .

However, Misha'er kicked sideways as if she had predicted in advance, not only happened to avoid the attack of the ghoul, but even just when the monster's old power was gone and new power was not born, she kicked it to the side. Balance, and fell a big fart.
