Master Tongtian

Chapter 158 The dead come at night (24)

The night in the north is as dark as ink.

A bonfire was lit in the middle of Owl Watch, dispersing the darkness a little.

Beside the bonfire, Angelou knelt on the ground with his hands tied behind him, surrounded by a circle of exorcist warriors.

Rosen was sitting on a small stool by the campfire, with two exorcist warriors holding shields standing on the left and right beside him.

Sharina held the steel crossbow in her hand, pointing the crossbow arrow at Angelou's chest.

"In other words, the Baron and the Necromancer are cooperating to deal with the rebels in the mountains?"

Angelou nodded.

"The rebels believed in the evil god Radha, accepted the ice-blood curse, and became very powerful in combat."

"An ordinary ice-blood warrior needs two low-level elite warriors to deal with it. Not to mention there are several high-level strong men among them."

"The number of regular troops in White Horse Town is less than 1,000, and the number of elites is less than 200. If there is a real fight, even if the baron can block the rebels with the solid walls of White Stone Castle, White Horse Town will definitely be destroyed."

"If we don't find a countermeasure in time, Baima Town will definitely face a catastrophe."

"In desperation, the Baron had to ask for help from the Necromancer Damses, because only the Necromancer army could stop the Ice-Blooded Warriors and eliminate this disaster."

Sharina sneered: "The Baron's fight is a good idea, but let me ask you, where do those undead puppets come from?"

"As far as I know, there are two parts. One part is adventurers and travelers from other places, which make up the majority. The other part is the death row prisoners in prison. Of course, these are still not enough."

Vice-captain Feilin understood clearly: "So, the undead night attack half a month ago was directed and performed by the Baron, just to obtain more undead puppets?"

Angelou shook his head slightly: "I'm just in charge of handling things. I don't know what the Baron really thinks. But judging from the final result, the Baron may have this idea."

Xialina smiled coldly when she heard this: "At the beginning, the Baron definitely didn't want to do this. If we really want undead puppets, it would be much safer and more concealed to find villagers in nearby mountain villages."

"I guess it was the unilateral idea of ​​Necromancer Damsis. He not only harvested the undead puppets, but also served as a warning to the baron."

"The baron was forced to cooperate in order to reduce losses."

This is called lowering to overcome higher!

In other words, the Necromancer has lost control.

Angelou nodded in agreement: "Based on my understanding of the Baron, this lady's statement should be closest to the truth."

"So, do you know where Damses is hiding?"

Angelou shook his head: "After that night, I was transferred to Owl Watch. I have no idea what happened after that."

After a pause, he said: "Since Damsis has enough undead puppets, according to the agreement, he should go into the mountain to deal with the Ice-Blooded Warriors, right?"

Sharina snorted coldly: "The necromancer has already sold his soul to the devil. Expecting them to abide by the contract is as unreliable as asking a dog not to eat shit."

"Angelou, follow me back to the temple and hide. At the critical moment, you need to step out and correct the Baron's crimes!"

Angelou was startled: "I swear allegiance to the Baron"

Halfway through the words, Sharina planned it.

"No, the one you swore allegiance to is the Baron favored by the Golden God, not a cold-blooded devil who sold the townspeople to the Necromancer as puppets!"

Angelo let out a long breath: "I understand. The Golden God is above, I will go back to the temple with you."

He turned to look at the other soldiers: "How are they?"

Sharina lowered her steel crossbow: "I was just knocked unconscious. We are exorcist warriors, not butchers."

"Then I'm relieved. Let's go."

He was about to get up.

"etc!"

It was Rosen who had been silent: "I can't leave for the time being."

"What?" Sharina was surprised.

Rosen pointed at the farmland outside the log wall: "We should be surrounded by a group of dead people."

Vice-captain Feilin turned pale and immediately waved his hand: "Close the door immediately!"

The two exorcist warriors quickly ran over and closed the door.

Rosen smiled lightly and said, "Don't be too nervous. Those dead people should still be some distance away from the sentry post."

Sharina was a little surprised: "Rosen, how did you find out?"

Rosen pointed to his nose: "You smell it."

After receiving Olekeya's vitality, his body has always been in optimal health and is particularly functional, unlike most northerners who have rhinitis that destroys most of their sense of smell.

Xia Lina sniffed her nose hard, and her face suddenly turned cold: "Sure enough, it's the smell of rotting corpses!"

They must be surrounded by an army of undead.

Feilin frowned: "Is the Baron planning to kill us to silence us?"

Sharina sneered: "It must be the unilateral intention of the Necromancer Damssis, the Baron is not so courageous!"

"But how does he know we're here?"

Xia Lina immediately said: "There must be an agent from him in the town. Nine times out of ten, it's the Nightingale Society!"

Rosen smiled and said: "It must be the Nightingale Society. Because only the Nightingale Society knows that we are looking for Angel."

He had been mentally prepared for this early in the morning.

Angelou immediately shouted: "Give me weapons and let me join the fight!"

In his opinion, if they were surrounded by the undead army, they would definitely die today, but as warriors, even if they knew they would die, they would still fight to the end.

After Xia Lina pondered for a few seconds, she untied his hands and said, "Go and splash cold water on all the soldiers. Everyone is fully armed to deal with the undead puppets."

Feilin immediately stepped forward and said softly: "Captain, we can use the big jump technique to jump out of the encirclement. Master Rosen can also fly."

The implication is that the soldiers gave up Owl Watch.

Xia Lina immediately shook her head: "I can't see anything clearly in the darkness, and I don't know how many puppet warriors have come, and there are also hidden necromancers. It's dangerous to break through."

Feilin gave up the idea of ​​breaking out as soon as he thought it was right.

On the other side, Angelou immediately stood up and obeyed.

After speaking, Sharina began to spread the key points of dealing with undead puppets.

"The undead puppet is fearless, tireless, has no vital points, and will launch a terrifying blood explosion, which is enough to break through any mid-level and below-level defense!"

"No matter what method you use, you must not get close to the undead puppet and shoot with a crossbow!"

"Take out all the arrows, Rosen, and enchant them with your Searing Praise!"

"As commanded."

"Do you have the intermediate wisdom potion with you? If you do, just drink it."

"I know what's going on, don't worry, Captain Sharina."

Rosen smiled lightly, took out a bottle of potion and drank it.

But it's not the mid-level wisdom potion, but the blue potion.

While speaking, Angelou had already awakened his unconscious men and brought out three large bundles of about 300 iron arrows: "Mage, all the arrows in the sentry are here."

Rosen had an idea and activated the Burning Praise.

This is an intermediate six-star logic spell.

A maximum of 20 arrows can be enchanted by Searing Hymn. To enchant all 300 arrows, that is 15 mid-level spells, which is a bit difficult for high-level mages.

But Rosen has the dexterity to cast spells.

Each Searing Praise only gives 10% of the spell's scale, and the intensity remains unchanged. Although the total power is much smaller, it can still cause huge damage because it is shot into the opponent's body.

In this way, enchanting 15 times is equivalent to releasing only 1.5 standard Searing Praise.

The energy consumption of Searing Praise is not high, and the flower staff helps save mana, so after the enchantment is completed, Rosen still has 80% of his mana.

When enchanting, Rosen quickly explained how to use it.

"My mana is limited. After enchanting, the flame power on each arrow is equivalent to a large torch. Try to shoot them into the chests of the undead puppets to roast the internal organs of the undead puppets and consume the maximum amount of energy in their bodies. strength."

"clear."

After the enchantment is completed, there is a layer of bright yellow light on the surface of the iron arrow. When you touch it, it feels warm to the touch, giving people a light and reassuring feeling.

At this time, the exorcist warriors had already planted torches on the sentry wall, and through the light of the torches, the undead puppets stumbling forward on the farmland could be faintly seen.

But it was still too dark to see clearly, and in this kind of night battle, once a puppet was missed and allowed to rush to the wall to launch a bloody explosion, the consequences would be very serious.

Sharina immediately asked Rosen for help: "The light is too dark, mage, is there any way?"

Rosen was naturally prepared.

As soon as the thought came to mind, the flower staff pointed towards the sky.

Dexterous spellcasting. 400% low-level bright light spell.

A dazzling eyeball as big as a head appeared at the tip of the staff. After a moment, it shot straight up into the sky. The light quickly became brighter, as if a white sun had risen from the ground.

In an instant, the ball of light rose to a height of 100 meters, and the light it emitted illuminated the owl sentry and the surrounding area for hundreds of meters like a night with a full moon.

"The brightness of my spell can last for 10 minutes!"

During this time, the exorcist warriors and sentry guards had also boarded the platform behind the protective wall.

With the help of magic lighting, everyone could clearly see their opponents.

Among the farmland and crops in the distance, undead puppets stood up one after another.

They were wearing dirty, muddy clothes, their eyes were white, their skin was blue, their bodies were slightly swollen, and their hair was covered in dried mud, which was like paste on their swollen heads.

Angelou glanced around quickly and his pupils shrank: "That's more than 140!"

There were only 10 warriors stationed in the entire outpost, and only 10 exorcist warriors came, plus a mage, which was 21 people. The difference in number was as high as 7 times!

The exorcist warriors were well-informed and kept calm, but the sentry warriors all looked desperate, and some warriors couldn't help shouting.

"We can't hold it! Run as fast as you can, otherwise we will all be turned into undead!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers immediately shrank back involuntarily.

Only Angelou retained his courage and sobriety.

He shouted: "Why are you running? Don't you see everything around you? Where are you running at night? Aren't you afraid of being blocked by the Necromancer?!"

These words immediately stopped the soldiers' thoughts.

Angelou roared angrily: "Whoever dares to say the word "ran" again, don't blame me for disregarding the feelings of my comrades!"

After yelling, he softened his tone slightly: "Hold the guard post and fight to the end. There is still a chance of survival. If we run away, we will all die in this damn place today!"

After he yelled a few times, both softly and hard, the guards at the sentry clenched their weapons again and prepared to fight to the death.

Xia Lina looked on, secretly relieved, and picked up in time.

"Warriors, there is no need to be afraid. The Golden God will not give up on any warrior. Even if he dies in battle, his soul will return to the Kingdom of the Golden God."

In fact, she didn't know for sure. The undead puppet that had appeared in front of her was not a big threat, but it was hard to tell if it hadn't appeared.

Especially there is a terrible necromancer hidden in the dark.

Whether he can survive tonight and see the sun tomorrow morning depends entirely on the blessing of the Golden God and Rosen's magic.
