The knight in the abyss

Chapter 849 Reasons
"No...impossible..." Brutal fell to his knees, as if he had been punched hard, "Brother...how could he lose...he never..."

"We have to leave," Soveris repeated again, "it won't be too late."

As if to prove the elf's warning, the undead creatures around everyone moved again.They were quite sluggish at the beginning, and their movements were staggering, like a group of drunks who were too drunk. They were easily knocked down by the arakkoa warriors, but it is not difficult to see that the power that dominates their bodies is recovering rapidly.Moreover, everyone is now in an open flat land, without the protection of the city wall, facing an enemy whose number is nearly a hundred times that of their own, even if there is no Lich present, they have absolutely no chance of winning.

Every second the time passed, the situation of this group of people became more dangerous.

A rusty tomahawk slashed at Brutal's hanging head. The latter seemed unresponsive, but Barend, who had been by his son's side all the time, even raised his shield.The not-so-sharp ax blade got stuck on the shield, and the sound of the impact finally woke up the absent-minded dwarf.Brutal let out a hoarse roar, and knocked the skeleton trying to pull out the weapon to the ground, swung his fist like a warhammer, and smashed the skeleton's skull down with one blow.

Although the first blow had completely silenced the undead creature, it was obviously not enough to calm the anger of the young dwarf.Like a blacksmith forging an iron, he vented all his grief, anger, and confusion on the poor skeleton in front of him.

"Brutal, that's enough!" Barende scolded his son severely, "Do you want everyone to stay with you?"

His father's reprimand made Brutal tremble all over. He first wiped his face with a concealed movement, then jumped up from the ground, and quickly scanned around.

"sorry, I…"

"It's okay." Soveris waved his hand, "Go first and fly to the west, there will be a group of crows to meet you..."

"How can that work?" Brutal picked up the warhammer at his feet, "Dwarves are always the last ones to leave the battlefield..."

"This is my good boy!"

"It's admirable, but we can turn into birds and fly away in the heat of battle, so better than you..." Soveris' words were interrupted by an incoming spear.He dodged to avoid the spearhead, and then the zombie wielding a sword and spear opened the ladle, and then turned around and continued: "...it's better to stay behind. Listen, the sooner you leave safely, the sooner we can evacuate..."

"Okay." Brutal shrugged in disappointment, "Then we'll..."

"Wait!" Tanya who was not far away suddenly shouted in a voice almost screaming, "Look over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the half-elf's finger, and saw a tall horse with four hooves burning with flames rushing out of the smoke and dust in front of it.The warhorse looked alive and well, rampaging through the sea of ​​undead creatures, but the rider on its back didn't look too good - a frail female figure clutching another man in her arms who was apparently lost. A conscious male human being, and the man's upper body was almost naked, only the armor on his right arm was still intact, and he still tightly held the beautiful sword in his hand.

"Lancelot?!"

Brutal uttered a cry of surprise, and immediately rushed towards the direction of the horse, while the rest of his companions followed immediately, attacking the enemies standing between them and the horse with all their strength.

"Guys, the plan has changed." Soveris, who didn't follow up immediately, turned his eyes to the people beside him, "Let's rescue that guy first..."

------------

Eight hours later.

A burly raven emerged from the low dark clouds, only to find that the familiar dense forest below had become unfamiliar.It can only hover back and forth in mid-air, making an unpleasant rattling sound from its mouth.After about half a minute, a light green flash lit up in a corner of the dense forest below, pointing out the direction for the lost bird.

The raven lowered his altitude and managed to find a cave he had left not so long ago.The cave is located at the bottom of a small hill, and the ground near the entrance is full of small pieces of bones, which were the prey of the original owner—a owlbear with purple-red feathers, but the owlbear was already counting Ten years became another bone in the cave.Afterwards, the hunters would occasionally light a bonfire inside, waiting for the shower or the night to pass, which also made the cave have too much human smell, so that other wild animals in the forest did not like to approach it. Of course, part of the reason is that Because of the few traps occasionally left by hunters.

"Ah, old black bird, you're here." Bruto, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, watched Soveris transform back into a human form, and asked in a relaxed tone, "Any new news?"

"Yes. The Lich reappeared in Fort Derek. It looks like nothing happened." Soveris sighed, "Where is Sir? Is he awake?"

"It was just 5 minutes before you appeared." Brutal said the reason for his good mood, "Go in and be careful not to irritate him, not everyone can face failure like us dwarves, haha!"

"I can hear it!"

"Hey." Brutal smirked and winked at the brown-haired elf, "You see, it's sensitive."

"I can still hear..."

"Good evening, Sir Lancelot." Soveris walked into the cave about fifteen feet square, and greeted the human knight leaning on a large mass of thatch, "You look better than I did last time." Much better left."

"As long as it's not a corpse, it must be better than before." Lancelow waved his hand with a smile, and sat up with the support of little Isa, "I just heard you said that Peyton Derek showed up again ?”

"Yes." Soveris had a regretful expression on his face, "I thought you succeeded in killing him..."

"I didn't." Lancelot shook his head, "And Karaline is explaining to me why this happened."

"why?"

"Lancelot mentioned that his weapon had pierced the Lich's body, but the latter released three spells in a row without casting any spells, thus escaping the catastrophe." The goddess of magic rubbed Looking at his chin with some stubble, "There are several possible reasons. At first I thought it was the stop of time..."

"Time stops? Is there such magic? But I didn't feel anything at the time..."

"It's the caster's time that has stopped, of course you can't feel it." Karaline shrugged, "But combined with the information that the Lich didn't cast any spells, and that Lancelot's long sword did indeed hit the opponent, let I determined the real reason..."

"what is that?"

"There is only one truth... chain accident."
