Chapter 1257 Nanhai Town (Salty meat dumplings are not delicious, sweet ones are better)

"Oh, why am I so unlucky."

Walking on the deserted road, Duanmu Huai sighed. The reason for his sigh was very simple, that was the girl who was right next to him.

But unlike Duanmu Huai who walked on his own two legs, Naruse Mio and Maria, Akemi Homura and Kisara were all riding horses - after all, they were all girls, it was impossible for them to really walk all the way to Stormwind City.

The problem lies with their mounts.

After purifying the northern land, the Night Guard brought back some spoils for Duanmu Huai. Most of the things were useless to Duanmu Huai, but there were two things that caught his attention. They were the [Reins of the Headless Horseman] and the [Reins of the Death Horse].

According to An's appraisal, this is a magic item. As long as magic power is injected, it can summon a magic mount.

So Duanmu Huai also tried it at first, well, how should I put it……………his legs were taller than the other horse's head when he stood upright. Although it was possible for Duanmu Huai to sit on it as long as he bent his knees and sat like a small stool, and as a magic mount, the other horse would not be crushed by Duanmu Huai's weight, but how should I put it…………it looked funny no matter how I looked at it.

This even reminded Duanmu Huai of the Star-Breaking General Latan he met at the border. He rode a pony that was even thinner than himself and went crazy everywhere, so Duanmu Huai decisively gave up. He didn't want to be like Latan's mentally retarded person. Latan was crazy, so it didn't matter. Duanmu Huai wasn't crazy yet. If he curled up and rode such a pony on the battlefield, he would be regarded as a fool!

  It's obviously a magic mount, so why can't it change with the user's body shape?

In the end, Duanmu Huai had no choice but to give the two reins to Naruse Mio and Kigen respectively. After all, they also had magic power and could activate it for use.

So Duanmu Huai took Route 11, while the four girls were leisurely enjoying the scenery on their mounts.

  Although Duanmu Huai's physique means he wouldn't feel tired even if he ran around the world, is it his body that is tired? No, it's his heart that is tired!

"Look at you all, you all have mounts, but I'm the only one walking, ah......"

Duanmu Huai complained again, shook his head and continued walking forward, and at this moment, Ogis reached out and patted Duanmu Huai's helmet.

"Don't be sad, Master. I will ride you."

"…………………"

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Duanmu Huai feels that his legs seem to be getting heavier and heavier.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!!!"

At this moment, a rapid bell rang suddenly from a distance, which startled everyone who were already tired after walking all day.

"What happened?"

"I don't know... Well, according to the map, Nanhai Town is ahead."

Duanmu Huai took out the map and took a look at it, then compared the location of himself and others. Their original plan was to pass through Silver Pine Forest and go to Nanhai Town in Hillsbrad Foothills, and by the way, taste the food of this world and experience the customs and habits of the civilization here.

So now it looks like something is wrong?

"I'm going to check out the situation, you guys just follow me!"

After saying this, Duanmu Huai flew up into the sky, taking Ogis with him towards the place where the alarm sounded. The four girls were left standing there in a daze, looking at each other, but they did not take any action immediately.

As for the reason, it's very simple.

"I, I can't ride a horse, Maria?"

"Neither can I, Mio-sama."

  Naruse Mio and Maria were confused. They could definitely ride on a horse, but galloping was beyond their capabilities. These two were high-level demons who usually flew around. Who would have nothing better to do than ride a horse?

As for the other side, Homura Akemi and Kisara were also at a loss. If it was some kind of mechanical vehicle, Homura Akemi could still use her magic power to control it to move forward, but a warhorse? This was beyond Homura Akemi's ability.

Not to mention Kisara, she flies around all day long, how could she know how to ride a horse?

  So what to do now?

Duanmu Huai naturally didn't need to worry about this problem. He flew a circle in the air and soon found Nanhai Town.

But this look...

"Boy, this is amazing."

Looking at Nanhai Town below, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh.

Below, hundreds of thousands of skeleton soldiers surrounded the entire Nanhai Town. One side of Nanhai Town was close to the sea, and these skeleton soldiers blocked the remaining three places. At present, the soldiers of Nanhai Town were fighting against those skeleton soldiers with the help of simple roadblocks.

Duanmu Huai did not take action immediately, but carefully observed the battle situation below.

It must be said that although Nanhai Town is a small town, the people here seem to be quite strong, and the layout of this town is also very interesting. However, considering that this is a human town and the undead spirits are nearby, this town has survived until now, so it must have some tricks up its sleeve.

But after all, the number of people is still a little small.

There are more and more skeleton guards. Although their quality does not seem to be very high, their number is definitely higher than that of Nanhai Town. Right now, Nanhai Town can only rely on this unreliable defense to hold on for as long as possible.

So, let’s do it.

Duanmu Huai quickly locked onto his target, a mysterious necromancer in the cemetery, and the reason why it caught Duanmu Huai's attention was very simple.

In such a dark place, there is something glowing from time to time. Anyone who is not blind can see it!

So Duanmu Huai didn't hesitate and rushed towards the necromancer!

At the same time, in Nanhai Town, the battle was still in full swing. "Hold it, you must hold it!!"

Sheriff Redpath swung the sword in his hand, chopped down the skeleton soldiers blocking his way, and shouted loudly.

At the same time, a series of ice storms fell from the sky and landed in the sea of ​​skeletons, instantly freezing a large number of skeleton guards in front. This made Redpath breathe a sigh of relief, and he quickly stepped back and looked at Mayor Heni Mareb who was holding a staff beside him.

"Mayor, we can't go on like this. We can't hold out for much longer!"

"But we have no way out and must persevere."

The town mayor, Heni Marebu, is young, but his expression is very resolute and strong.

"These undead are not the Forsaken, but summoned undead soldiers. As long as we defeat the summoners who manipulate them, we can lift the siege."

"We have tried several times, but to no avail."

Redpath shook his head. He understood it, too. But the necromancer on the other side hid himself very well. Redpath led his security team to charge several times but failed. Instead, they lost several good guys, which made him a little impatient.

"I'm going to do it myself this time."

"Mayor?"

Hearing Mayor Mareb's decision, Redpath looked at him in surprise.

"Are you serious? If that necromancer sees you, he will definitely try his best to stop you!"

"That's right, so I'm just a bait. Once the necromancer gathers troops to deal with me, the defense in other directions will become weak. Then you will lead a team to break through the siege and kill him with your sword!"

"this……………"

Faced with the decision made by Mayor Mareb, Redpath was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth.

"Okay, I will complete the task!"

"That's good. No matter what, the people of Nanhai Town are counting on us."

As he spoke, Mayor Marebu tightened his staff and took a deep breath. After all, he was a mage and was not good at fighting in the front. However, the current situation did not allow him to make a choice, so Mayor Marebu looked around again and shouted loudly.

"Guardians of Nanhai Town, listen to me..."

“Swoosh———————”

However, before Mayor Marebu could finish his words, a dazzling flash of light suddenly streaked across the dark night sky like a meteor and slammed heavily behind the skeleton army.

The next moment, the skeleton guards who were still frantically attacking Nanhai Town suddenly fell to the ground like puppets with their strings cut, and there was no movement. Obviously, this was the result of the necromancer who summoned them being killed.

However, what is going on?

Redpath and Mayor Mareb looked at each other, both of them were a little confused and puzzled. At this moment, heavy footsteps were heard.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

The footsteps sounded slow and steady, but with an unsettling sense of tension. The Nanhai Town guards who had just fought the skeletons to death instinctively took a few steps back. Then, under the blazing fire, everyone saw a dark, huge figure slowly emerging from the night, with a pair of scarlet eyes emitting a heart-pounding light...

"Tell me your name! Outsider!!"

Although there were various problems, Duanmu Huai felt that bringing Ojis along was still a wise decision.

At least a girl who looks weak can reduce the anxiety and vigilance of others after seeing her. In fact, if it weren't for seeing Ojis, the guards of Nanhai Town would probably have attacked Duanmu Huai by now.

"Thank you for your help."

With room to talk, the tense atmosphere between the two sides eased a lot. Although Duanmu Huai looked very vicious and the armor he wore did not look like a good guy, he did help Nanhai Town eliminate a big threat. Of course, Mayor Marebu also asked about Duanmu Huai's background, and Duanmu Huai naturally said that he was an adventurer. He had learned from the records of the Undercity that there were many adventurers in this world, and he just used it as a shield.

When Naruse Mio and others arrived, Mayor Marebu and Sheriff Redpath completely let down their guard and began to treat Duanmu Huai and others as real adventurers.

After learning that Duanmu Huai and others came from Silverpine Forest, Mayor Maleb hurriedly asked them whether they knew about the abnormality in Tirisfal Glades. Duanmu Huai did not say it directly, but just kept it a secret and said that the undead there should have been completely wiped out. In fact, he was curious why there were still so many undead in Nanhai Town.

After listening to the explanation given by Mayor Mareb... well, how should I put it?

After all, cremation is better.

At least the ashes won’t rise up and bite people.

Duanmu Huai also asked Mayor Marebu about the situation in the vicinity. Although there was a map, the map would not contain current affairs news after all. He also wanted to find out the current situation of the human countries in this world.

As expected, according to Mayor Marebu, the current situation here is not very good.

And all of this...is related to the tribe.
