Chapter 1257 Nanhai Town (Is the meat rice dumplings salty or sweet?)

 “Hey, why am I so unlucky?”

Walking on a deserted road, Duanmu Huai sighed with a look on his face. And the reason why he sighed was very simple, that was the girl who was beside him right now.

It's just that unlike Duanmu Huai, who walks on two legs, Naruse Mio, Maria, Xiaomi Homura and Kisara are all riding a horse respectively - after all, they are all girls, so it is impossible to really Go all the way to Stormwind City.

 The problem lies in their mounts.

After purifying the northern land, the Night Guard brought back some trophies to Duanmu Huai. Most of them were of no use to Duanmu Huai, but there were two things that caught Duanmu Huai's attention. They are [The Headless Horseman's Reins] and [The Death Horse's Reins].

 According to the results of An's appraisal, this is a kind of magic prop. As long as magic power is injected into it, a magic mount can be summoned.

So Duanmuhuai also tried it initially. Well, how should I put it... His legs were upright and higher than the opponent's horse's head. Although it is said that as long as Duanmu Huai bends his knees and assumes the posture of sitting on a small bench, it is not impossible to sit on it, and as a magic mount, the opponent will not be crushed by Duanmu Huai's weight, but how to say... then what? Look how funny it is.

This even reminded Duanmuhuai of the Broken Star General Latarn he met at the junction. He went crazy riding such a pony that was thinner than himself, so Duanmuhuai decisively gave up. He doesn't want to imitate Latarn's retarded look. Latarn is crazy, so it doesn't matter. Duanmuhuai is not crazy yet. If he curls up and rides such a pony on the battlefield, he will be regarded as a fool. !

The explanation is clearly a magic mount, 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 Kisara respectively. Anyway, they also had magic power and could be inspired to use them.

So it became Duanmuhuai Road 11, and the four girls were leisurely enjoying the scenery on their mounts.

Although with Duanmuhuai's physique, he would not be tired even if he walked around the world, but is it his body that is tired? No, it’s the heart that’s tired!

“Look at you, you all are on mounts, but I’m the only one walking, hey…”

Duanmuhuai complained again, shook his head and continued to move forward. At this moment, Ogis reached out and patted Duanmuhuai's helmet.

 “Don’t be sad, master, I will ride you.”

　　　…………”

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Duanmuhuai felt that his legs were getting heavier and heavier.

 “Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang!!”

At this moment, a rapid ringing of bells suddenly came from the distance, which shocked everyone who was already a little tired after walking for a 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 directions of himself and others. Their original plan was to pass through the Silver Pine Forest and then go to Nanhai Town in the Hillsbrad Hills, where they could taste the food of this world and experience the civilized customs and customs here.

 So it seems something is wrong now?

 “I’m going to check on the situation, you just need to follow me!”

 After saying this, Duanmu Huai flew into the sky, taking Ojis towards the place where the alarm sounded. The four girls were left standing there blankly, looking at each other, but did not act immediately.

 As for the reason, it is very simple.

“I, I can’t ride a horse? Wan Lia?”

 “Neither can I, Mio-sama.”

Mio Naruse and Maria looked confused. Sitting on the horse was definitely fine, but galloping on the horse was beyond their capabilities. These two are both high-level demons. They fly around on weekdays. Who has nothing to do with riding horses?

As for the other side, Xiaomeiyan and Kisara are equally at a loss. If it is some kind of mechanical vehicle, Xiaomeiyan can still use his magic power to control the opponent to move forward, but the war horse? This is beyond Xiao Meiyan's ability.

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

 So what to do now?

This issue naturally did not need to be concerned by Duanmu Huai. He flew around in the air and quickly found Nanhai Town.

 Just this look......

 “Hey guys, this is really cool.”

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

Down below, hundreds of skeleton soldiers surrounded the entire Nanhai Town. Nanhai Town was close to the sea on one side, and these skeleton soldiers sealed off the remaining three places. At present, the soldiers in Nanhai Town are using simple roadblocks to fight against the skeleton soldiers.

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

I have to say that although Nanhai Town is a small town, the people here seem to be pretty good, and the layout of the town is also very interesting. However, considering that this is a human town, and the undead are nearby, there are naturally two reasons why this town can survive here until now.

 It’s just that the number of people is still a little small after all.

There are more and more skeleton guards. Although the quality does not seem to be very high, the number is steadily overwhelming Nanhai Town. At present, Nanhai Town can only rely on this unreliable defense to hold on for a while. .

So, let’s do it.

 Duanmu Huai quickly locked his target, a necromancer who was in a state of confusion in the cemetery, and the reason why it attracted Duanmu Huai's attention was simple.

In such a dark place, just one place will light up and then light up. Anyone who is not blind can see it, right?

 So Duanmu Huai did not hesitate and rushed towards the necromancer with accelerating speed!

 At the same time, in Nanhai Town, the battle was still in full swing. “Keep it for me, you must keep it!”

 Sheriff Redpath waved the long sword in his hand, chopped down the skeleton soldiers in front of him, and shouted loudly at the same time.

At the same time, a series of ice rainstorms fell from the sky and fell into the sea of ​​skeletons, immediately freezing the large skeleton guards in front. This made Redpath breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped back, looking at Mayor Hennie Maleb who was holding a staff beside him.

“Mayor, it’s not okay to continue like this, we can’t support it for long!”

 “But we have no way out and must persevere.”

As the mayor of the town, Herni Mareb is young, but his expression is very resolute and strong.

"These undead are not the forgotten, but the summoned undead soldiers. As long as the summoner who controls them is defeated, the siege can be lifted."

 “We have tried several times, but to no avail.”

Redpath shook his head, why didn't he understand. But the necromancer on the opposite side hid himself very deep. Redpath led his security team to charge several times without success. Instead, he lost several good guys, which made him a little impatient.

 “This time I will take action myself.”

 “Mayor?”

 Hearing Mayor Maleb'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 mobilizes his troops to deal with me, the defenses in other directions will become weak. At that time, you will lead a team to break through the siege, and then kill him with the sword!"

"this………"

Facing the decision made by Mayor Maleb, Redpath was silent for a moment, and then gritted his teeth.

 “Okay, I will definitely complete the task!”

“That’s good, no matter what, the people of Nanhai Town will depend on us.”

As he spoke, Mayor Mareb tightened his hold on the staff and took a deep breath. After all, he was a mage and was not good at fighting in the front. But the current situation no longer allowed him to make a choice, so Mayor Maleb looked around again, and then shouted loudly.

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

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——]

However, before Mayor Mareb finished speaking, a dazzling flash of light suddenly cut through the dark night sky like a meteor, hitting the rear of the skeleton army hard.

The next moment, the skeleton guards who were still frantically attacking Nanhai Town were scattered all over the place like puppets with their strings cut off, and there was no movement. Obviously, this is what happens when the necromancer who summoned them is killed.

 However, what is going on?

Redpath and Mayor Maleb looked at each other, each feeling a little confused and confused. At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded.

 “Dong…dong…dong…”

The footsteps seemed slow and steady, but there was an uneasy sense of tension. The Nanhai Town guards who had been fighting with the skeletons just now 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-stopping light...

 “Say your name! Outsider!”

Despite the problems, Duanmuhuai felt that it was a wise decision to bring Ojis with him.

At least a girl who looks weak can reduce the uneasiness and vigilance of others after seeing her. In fact, if it weren't for seeing Ogis, I am afraid that the guards in Nanhai Town could not help but treat Duanmu right now. Huai attacked.

 “Thank you for your help.”

With the space to talk, the tense atmosphere between the two parties also eased a lot. Although Duanmuhuai did look very vicious and the armor he wore did not look like a good person, he did help Nanhai Town eliminate a big threat. Of course, Mayor Mareb also asked about Duanmuhuai's origins, and Duanmuhuai naturally said that he was an adventurer - he had already learned from the records in the Undercity that there were many adventurers in this world, and he just used them as a shield.

When Naruse Mio and others also arrived, Mayor Mareb and Sheriff Redpath also completely dropped their guard and began to treat Duanmu Huai and others as real adventurers.

After learning that Duanmu Huai and others came from Silver Pine Forest, Mayor Mareb also hurriedly asked them if they knew about the anomaly in Tirisfal Woods. Duanmu Huai did not directly say this, but just kept it secret. He said that the undead souls there should have been completely wiped out - but he was curious as to why there were so many undead souls in Nanhai Town.

 After listening to Mayor Mareb’s explanation...well, how should I put it?

 As expected, it is better to be cremated.

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

Duanmuhuai also asked Mayor Maleb about the situation nearby. Although there was a map, the map would not show current affairs news. He also wanted to find out about the current situation of the human countries in this world.

As expected, according to the mayor of Maleb, the situation here is not very good at the moment.

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