I'm really a necromancer

Chapter 52 Sacrifice
Rafal Barony.

Amidst the reflection of the firelight of the surrounding houses and the crackling sound of burning wood, one after another hurried shouts sounded.

"My lord, there is none here!"

A middle-aged bandit with disheveled clothes and bandit attire, but with the strength of a formal knight said hastily.

"Hmph, keep searching, the person sent to arrest that kid hasn't come back yet?"

As soon as the words fell, a young man standing in the open space not far away snorted coldly and asked.

"Not yet."

"A bunch of rice buckets!"

The young man cursed angrily, then fell silent.

If Yihua was present, from the majestic but unnaturally leaked life energy of the young man, he could recognize the other party as a great knight at a glance.

The strength of a knight all the way comes from the control and improvement of life energy, so knights are more sensitive to life energy, and high-level knights can see the realm of low-level knights at a glance.

Generally, at the level of a great knight, one has already learned to restrain life energy.

Unless you attack with all your strength, on weekdays, even if the opponent is at the same level as your own, it is extremely difficult to see the opponent's true strength.

The silence of the young great knight didn't last long. After a while, he turned around and walked towards the square of the town not far away.

The originally clean and tidy square was already shrouded in a tangy smell of blood.

The ground was full of blood that hadn't dried up, and corpses like mummified corpses could be seen everywhere.

Regarding this, the young great knight turned a blind eye and walked straight to the high platform in the center of the square.

At this moment on the high platform stood a scantily dressed young woman in blood, holding a scarlet bead in her hand.

Wisps of scarlet smoke seeped out from the corpses on the ground and poured into the ball in the woman's hand.

But in a moment, nearly a hundred corpses on the ground were completely turned into mummies, and the generation of red smoke was also interrupted.

Seeing this, a scarlet color flashed in the eyes of the blood-clothed woman, and she murmured:
"Not enough, far from enough..."

The young great knight on the side didn't care about this, subconsciously glanced at the scarlet bead in the woman's hand, a trace of longing flashed in his eyes, and said respectfully:

"My lord wizard, the whole town is now under control, do you need more sacrifices?"

"Of course! But try to avoid the death of the sacrifice. Once dead, the blood plague beads will not absorb much life energy."

As soon as the words fell, the woman seemed to have thought of something, and the subject changed——

"By the way, have you found the branch of life? Where are the son and daughter of the local lord?"

"There's no news yet, but I'll be sure to as soon as possible!"

"Trash! Do you want more power?"

Under the scolding of the blood-clothed woman known as the wizard, the young grand knight left the high platform in disgrace after explaining.

He led the bandit group under him to speed up the speed of going to various parts of the town to arrest the hiding town residents.
-
boom!
"come out!"

Accompanied by the sound of impacts and shouts from outside the door, the door of the stone house began to crumble and might break open at any time.

An old grey-haired guard glanced out nervously, and his expression turned serious when he saw two bandits at the level of trainee knights outside the door.

He gritted his teeth, and told a girl about twelve or thirteen years old behind him:
"Miss Lana, I will take you out after they break open the door. I will block those bandits for you. You just need to run out of the town!"

"Uncle Pork... I know!"

When the girl with red eyes heard the words, a look of unbearable flashed in her eyes, but she knew that it would be useless for her to stay, so she nodded sensibly.

Now her father died under the swords of these bandits, and her elder brother Lucien led away a large number of bandits for her, and her life and death were uncertain.

The relatives and servants she was familiar with in the past also died unexpectedly, so she must be strong.

Just when the old guard Pok was ready to fight to the death, the robbers suddenly stopped destroying the wooden door.

Ah!
Suddenly, the exclamations of several robbers came from outside the door, and within a few seconds, accompanied by the thud of heavy objects falling to the ground, the door fell into complete silence.

With a soft sound, the wooden door was opened.

Lucien who walked into the room looked at the two people in front of him, his face froze for a moment, followed by unconcealable joy.

"Lana, Uncle Pork, you are still alive!"

Originally clenched the long sword in his hand, Pok, who was about to go all out, saw the long sword in the hand of the handsome young man fall to the ground in an instant, making a crisp bang.

"Master!"

"elder brother!"

Polk and Lana said in unison, and then asked each other about each other's experience.

After a while, Yi Hua walked into the house.

Seeing Yihua in white robe with a calm face in front of him, Lucien quickly explained:
"Let me introduce to you, this is Master Fercis, who saved me from the robbers, and now he has saved you."

Lana also recognized Yi Hua, who had stayed in the territory for one night before, hastily wiped off the dust on her pretty face, and said gratefully:
"Master Wizard, thank you for saving us!"

Yi Hua didn't speak, but nodded to the two of them.

Saving the two of them was just a matter of convenience for Yihua, and his main purpose was to gain merit.

Now that the merit has been obtained, there is no need to continue wasting time.

The three of them followed Yihua out of the door. Lana and Polk saw the skeleton knight standing outside the door with only a skeleton but moving freely. Fear and horror flashed in their eyes.

In addition, there was a hint of curiosity in the depths of Lana's eyes.

Feeling that there was enough magic power in his body, Yi Hua didn't hesitate.

The space in the open space outside the house was distorted, and seven skeleton knights who were comparable to formal knights appeared in the open space.

The seven skeleton knights lined up with the three summoned earlier, like a knightly group composed of the dead.

Yihua issued new orders to them:

"Rescue the residents of the town, execute all the bandits you encounter on the spot, and report to me in time if you encounter an enemy that is difficult to deal with."

After receiving the order, the ten skeleton knights searched around the town in groups of two.

With Skeleton Knight's sensitivity to life energy, within a few minutes, the first merit was credited.

As the bandits were killed one after another and one resident was rescued, Yihua gained more and more merit points.

Wizards are the true rulers of this world, even the lowest apprentice wizards can easily crush mortals to death like ants.

Only knights have some room to resist against wizards, but they can only struggle for a while.

Facing the Skeleton Knights in groups of two and two, who possessed the peak strength of knights and were fearless to die, the bandits scattered all over the town were powerless to resist.

The official knight-level bandit leader that I encountered occasionally was killed after entangled with the skeleton knight for a while.

But this one-sided situation didn't last long, and the soul connection between a team of skeleton knights and Yi Hua was suddenly severed.
