Heart of the Castle

Chapter 47 Pikemen Squad, Attack
The little devil seemed to be able to see through the thick fog, and his eyes with a faint red light swept back and forth in the direction of the sound.Li Wei lay on the ground, feeling his body was chilling, and his teeth were about to tap each other. He stuffed his sleeves into his mouth and bit them, his eyes fixed on the little devil's movements.

Maybe this little devil didn't expect that a human dared to touch this abandoned outpost. After inspecting the place, he sat back on the rock and yawned with his hands covering his mouth.

Li Wei wiped the cold sweat off his head, carefully retreated to a place where he could not see the Heihe post, and let out a long breath.

The fighting power of the little devil was somewhat beyond his expectations, and the idea of ​​using the method of cannibalization to gradually wipe out the demons was a bit abrupt.Even a little devil is an opponent with comparable fighting power to Li Wei. Although the surprise attack can gain the upper hand in the battle, Li Wei doesn't think that the demons occupying the Heihe outpost are so slow that they can't even notice that the sentry is fighting.

You don't need many enemies, as long as two or more little devils appear at the same time, Li Wei can only rely on luck to have a chance of victory. If three little devils appear at the same time, Li Wei may not even have a chance to escape.

Are you going to leave so disheartened?Li Wei was really not reconciled, but his entanglement didn't last long, and the old voice rang in his ears in due course.

"Hehe, little guy, have you encountered a problem so soon? It seems that your situation is really not good. Well, there is a reward that I can pay you in advance, as your appointment as the city lord of the heart of the castle." A gift."

This is simply a barbecue that fell from the sky. The young apprentice servant was suddenly filled with gratitude to the old magician Mr. Disch, and he hurriedly nodded and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Disch, what is this reward?" What about things?"

"Didn't you successfully recruit a small team of spearmen yesterday? The gift I gave you is to send them to your side by force, so lead them to fight well."

As soon as the old magician's words fell, a huge bluish-white light ball appeared in front of Li Wei's eyes, followed by the clang of steel, and a group of burly men in blue and white coats walked out of the light ball , arranged in a neat row in front of Li Wei.

Since discovering the heart of the castle, Li Wei has imagined many times what kind of warrior he can summon.According to the memory in the dream, the pikemen, as the most basic unit of the human camp, had fairly ordinary combat effectiveness.According to Li Wei's thinking, as long as the combat power of the pikemen can compete with the viscount's militiamen, it will be a satisfactory performance. However, now Li Wei finds that this kind of thinking is obviously an insult to these elite fighters.

As the first unit summoned by the Heart of the Castle, the Pikeman has a strong physique and excellent equipment.Every spearman is holding a well-crafted spear. The sharp steel tip reflects the dim sunlight, and it actually has a cold and murderous look; the thick blue and white coat is their unified equipment, and the key parts are made of metal. It is reinforced with a leather armor, and there is a majestic griffin logo on the chest, which looks much more handsome than Li Wei's own worn leather armor.

In addition, these spearmen all wore helmets. The steel helmets not only protected their heads, but even covered half of their faces. Only the sharp nose and chin were exposed from the lower edge of the helmets.

"Are these... are real human beings?" Li Wei murmured softly involuntarily, and the aged voice of the old magician gave him a positive answer.

"A real human? Of course not. There is only one kind of life created in the heart of the castle, and that is the alchemy life. You can regard them as absolutely loyal subordinates. Even when the danger of death comes, they will not back down in any way. Your performance. Alright, now the gift that should be given to you has been delivered, and the next battle will depend on your performance, little guy, I wish you good luck."

The old magician's voice fell silent, and Li Wei called out several times in his heart, but got no response at all.

"It seems that this is a test for me by Mr. Dish..." Li Wei thought so, and turned his attention to the pikemen standing in front of him again.

During the days when he lived in the Viscount's castle, Li Wei saw many warriors who were not weak, but he found that compared with these pikemen, even the most elite fighters under Viscount Ryan were not as powerful in terms of momentum. Only master knights with grudges can gain the upper hand.

"It looks quite powerful, but I don't know how the real combat power is?" Li Wei thought so, and cast the skill of probing on one of the pikemen.

Name: Pikeman
Race: human

Life: 40
Risk level: more dangerous
Relationship: loyal

Li Wei rubbed his eyes, that's right, in the column that marked the combat effectiveness of the pikemen, the word "more dangerous" was indeed written, and judging from the lives of the pikemen, the strength of these fighters definitely surpassed Li Wei's. The imagination at the beginning of dimension.

"This is my soldier, my strength!" Li Wei felt that his heart was full of courage. He looked in the direction of the Heihe sentry, his chest puffed up, and his mind was full of leading these elite soldiers to kill the little devil. They were crushed into shattered images.

Then he calmed down. The result of the battle where Knight Ston died reminded him that if he charged so recklessly, once there were big demons stationed in the Heihe outpost, or if there were a large number of demon troops, the result would be very tragic. .If he wanted to survive in this demon-ridden world, a few elite soldiers were not enough to be his solid barrier.

"Calm down, the spearman's individual combat strength surpasses that of the little devil. As long as you use this combat strength, you will definitely be able to achieve excellent results. The first thing I need to do now is how to knock down the little devil sentry without disturbing the enemy at the sentry post." " Li Wei said to himself, and then he cautiously touched up again, until the figure of the little devil sentinel appeared in his vision.

Due to boredom, this little devil has already started resting against the rock, his two round eyes are squinting, and he looks like he is enjoying himself.A steel fork was placed within reach by his side, obviously in this situation, he had lost his vigilance.

"The distance is 15 meters, enough for the little devil to stand up and find something wrong, and then call the police or grab the steel fork..." Li Wei began to frown slightly again. Based on his calculations, the best result is that the little devil didn't have the first time Instead of calling the police, they attempted to resist.Although Li Wei is sure to use the pikemen to quickly eliminate this little devil, the sound of the battle may have a great chance to be heard by the enemies in the post.

"It seems that there is only one risk to take." Li Wei thought of the bullying character of the little devil described in the book, gritted his teeth, and gently placed the saber in his hand on the ground, then loosened his hair and wiped some dirt on his face , pretending to be panicked and ran out.

In the eyes of the little devil sentinel, a human suddenly appeared in the thick fog, looking like a down-and-out adventurer.Although the human was wearing leather armor, he didn't have a weapon in his hand. Seeing his own existence, the human let out a suppressed exclamation, turned around and ran away.

"It should be a lost human adventurer." The little devil made his own judgment, and then he hesitated.According to the request of his immediate superior, he should issue an alarm as soon as possible, and monitor on the spot for other abnormalities. This human needs to wait for other people in the post to solve it.However, in his heart, the human being who is about to disappear in the thick fog is no different from a delicious meal. This is a complete human being. Since leaving the purgatory full of flames and thick smoke, he has not tasted this kind of legend The taste of Chinese food.

"This human has no weapons, and is exhausted and panicked. His combat power should be very poor. As long as I catch him, even if he eats the main part, it should be."

The greedy impulse finally made the little devil leave his post, he grabbed the steel fork, flapped his little wings and rushed into the dense fog.The demons all have very strong eyesight, and they can see farther than ordinary humans in the dense fog. This is the reason why the little devil used it as a prerequisite for victory, but this time, the little devil miscalculated.

Not long after entering the dense fog, the little devil saw the back of the fleeing in a hurry, showing a ferocious smile, and the little devil sped up and rushed forward.

In front of the little devil, a row of steel spears suddenly appeared!
The little devil let out a short scream and flapped its wings rapidly, trying to slow down its forward speed.However, it was too late, the pikemen let out a uniform shout, and with a big stride, the pikes rushed towards them.The little devil's steel fork only blocked one of the spears before it was raised high, and the rest of the spears stuck firmly into his body.

The red light from the little devil's eyes dimmed, his body convulsed a few times, and he lost his breath of life.The pikemen drew back the long spears that pierced the little devil's body, and dark purple blood flowed out, giving off a slight sulfur smell.

Li Wei retrieved his saber, walked to the little devil's corpse, and carefully looked at the demon creature.After losing his life, the little devil's dark red skin turned gray-white like a rock, looking like a broken puppet.Li Wei slashed the corpse hard, and the feeling from his hand was very tough.Although his saber was not a well-known weapon, it was carefully crafted by the blacksmith of the Viscount Castle for knights. It was of better quality than the weapons of ordinary militiamen and soldiers. During training, it could cut off wooden stakes as thick as wrists.But this time, Li Wei exerted all his strength, and the sword edge only cut into half of the little devil's arm, and it got stuck on the bone and couldn't go any further.

"With such a hard body strength, this is just a little devil." Li Wei couldn't help sighing. Obviously, although this little devil's reaction and strength were inferior to his own, its physical strength was obviously much higher.In other words, the degree of danger shown by the detection skills is very credible, and his combat power is indeed only equivalent to that of a little devil.

The little devil's steel fork fell to the side, and Li Wei picked it up. The weight in his hand was not light. This rough-looking steel fork was more than twice as heavy as Li Wei's saber.What attracted Li Wei's attention even more was that there were faint black lights shining on the three forks of the steel fork head!
This steel fork is actually a sacrilegious weapon!As long as the creature's skin is pierced, it can cause various random negative effects such as rot, poisoning, and paralysis. If it is before the invasion of the demons, this steel fork can even be sold for a high price of more than ten gold coins.

In the Heihe outpost, how many such little devils are there, and are there other demons that are more troublesome than the little devils?

This question, if you don't confirm it with your own eyes, obviously there will be no answer.

What makes Li Wei's heart even colder is, how many demons are there in Viscount Ryan's territory?Can the human beings here really survive this level?

Li Wei squatted down and snapped off the little devil's left corner, which was a strong evidence for killing the little devil.In the mind of the trainee attendant, Viscount Lane's request for 20 little devils in exchange for the inheritance of Ston Knight still carries a lot of weight.

The building complex of the Heihe Outpost was just a vague outline in the dense fog. The dark stone buildings looked like a group of huge demons with teeth and claws.Li Wei looked at the five spearmen standing beside him, which gave him more courage. Finally, he made up his mind and led the team of spearmen to walk slowly towards the Heihe post.
