Chapter 0254: Midnight Terror
"This is just his one-sided statement, and we need to verify it immediately! Before it was confirmed, the defense level of the Thundering Fortress immediately entered a wartime state, and it was fully prepared. ”
"There's a Holy Necromancer there! How to confirm it? If it proves to be true, but we are taken aback, wouldn't it be a great opportunity to thwart the strength of the Soul Federation Council? ”
The two legendary mages immediately had a heated conversation, and all the ** masters present were not qualified to intervene in the discussion of the legendary mage, so they could only wait for the legendary mage's consultation or order.
"One of the two of us must go in person, you see......" Mage Xingchen was puzzled.
"I'll go! My injuries are completely healed, and it won't be a problem to take down a Saint-rank mage. But these undead have many ways to save their lives, and the tricks of resurrection are even more varied, and I can't guarantee that I can leave him intact! The legendary mage Tello didn't refuse, and he was happy to pull some carrion off the bodies of the undead.
It is said that it has not been verified, but the news that can flow from the newly promoted strong psychic warlock Angel is still seventy or eighty percent sure that it is true. Therefore, Tello completely treated this Holy Order Necromancer Lux as a powerhouse of the same level. Even if it can't completely annihilate his soul, leave his physical body here and let him fall into a period of weakness for a few months.
Of course, he also had to be prepared for this to be a trap for the undead, and prepare himself for the means of escape in advance.
After explaining some of his countermeasures, Tello immediately set out from the city of Valencia, where he was sitting, to somewhere in the Whispering Forest mentioned by Angle, and the star mage Katieeni was ready to meet him. The ** divisions in various places strictly guarded the core area of the principality, waiting for the final result.
Of course, this decision was also communicated to the Grand Duke of Novis and the Prince of Antlia by the ** division Andorius, and the knights and garrisons throughout the duchy also began to urgently move. A 1,200-strong Principality Knights was transferred overnight to the vicinity of Naya City, making a roundabout approach to the location of Big Rock Village.
It's night.
As soon as the last rays of sunlight disappeared into the treetops, the village fell into a dark and dead silence.
Two days ago, Master Jack's acolyte secretly met with the village chief of Big Rock Village. So the next day, under the half-compulsion of the village chief of Mork, all the villagers went to the manor of the former lord Sir Hanwick to attend the celebratory banquet of Master Jack.
The deserted village of Big Rock was taken over by a Sir Hanwick personal guard, who was responsible for the safety of the villagers' property while they were away. As a result, a small village of nearly 100 people now has only 10 lords' guards left.
Although the Lord's Guard knew nothing about the real situation behind the scenes, it did not prevent them from obtaining the corresponding information from this unprecedented and terrifying scene. These were not even regular soldiers, and the recruits, who had just dropped their dung forks and hoes for less than a year, dared to come out on duty at night to patrol the sentry, and they all gathered in a small wooden hut and shivered around the fire.
"Master Mage's stone tower has been attacked!" One of the guards couldn't contain his fear, and took the lead in opening the conversation.
"You don't need to say this, we all know it." The captain of the guard scolded angrily, holding a cup of hot soup in his hand, and couldn't think of sipping it for a long time.
"What are we guarding here? How much are these hillbilly's broken wooden houses and stinky thatched houses worth? We're going to have to leave us all here, moldy and hard. The other recruit couldn't help but interject.
The captain of the guard sighed, pointed to the north, and whispered, "There's something there!" Before the big men came, we were the unlucky ones who guarded the mountains and forests. ”
"In the woods? What's in the Whispering Forest? Could it be that some monster has escaped? ……”
Miscellaneous inquiries immediately poured out, and for a while, no one in the house knew who was talking about it.
"Shut up!" The captain of the guard shouted angrily in a low voice, and listened attentively: "Listen, is there any movement outside?" ”
The captain's words immediately blew like a cold wind, freezing everyone's words in their throats. Everyone listened attentively, except for the whining night wind outside, the slight sound of branches and leaves scraping the roof.
"Captain, could you have heard me wrong? There's no sound outside! A slightly distorted voice sounded.
As soon as the words fell, a clear and distinct clanging sound came from a distance.
Everyone was shocked, and the experienced veteran had already heard the sound of the beast's sharp claws scratching at the plank. Before they could prepare themselves, there was a creaking sound from the wooden house above them, and a lot of dust fell down the cracks in the wooden planks.
There's something on the roof!
This clear realization made everyone in the room creep, and they all covered their mouths to avoid exclaiming. Seeing the captain gently and silently draw out the long sword at his waist, he quickly put his weapon in his hand as if he were in a dream, and looked at the entrances and exits of the wooden house with a worried expression. If it weren't for the fear of alarming the unknown outside, they would even want to crush the fire in the house.
Gradually, the sounds around the wooden house became more frequent. All kinds of galloping, jumping, and scraping noises continued, and the outside became a meeting place for unknown creatures.
At the signal of the captain, the two recruits extinguished the fire point by point. The captain crept to one side of the wall, struggling to find a gap in the plank and peek out. Eventually, he opened a tiny hole in a crack in the corner of the wall and saw what was going on.
To be honest, he might as well not look at it!
This glance is destined to become a nightmare that he will never get rid of in the future!
In the bright moonlight, Oiwa Village has become a world of alien creatures. At a cursory glance, there are one or two hundred sturdy figures shuttling and jumping in and out of the houses, stopping from time to time to sniff around, as if looking for something.
At first glance, the captain thought they were all savages. After all, in addition to being more robust, more muscular, and more agile in their movements, these shuttled creatures resemble creeping humans. But when a strange creature stopped in the open space 5 steps away from him, the captain completely saw "him" clearly.
Oh my God, what kind of monster this is!
They do look like people, like people who have been completely skinned. There was not much skin, and the bright red, tangled muscles underneath were directly exposed, and the fibrous muscle strips stretched horizontally and vertically throughout the body, which gave them great strength and full flexibility.
As the skull turned, two deep ghostly fires burned in the sunken eye sockets, and the slits of the bloody mouth almost ran to the back of the head, revealing the glittering sharp fangs and the long serpentine tongue. The ** tail behind him, which is more than one meter long, seems to be composed of bones and muscles, and there is a faint sound of wind between the swings.
As if his gaze had alerted the beast, the creeping figure turned its head awkwardly and swept its gaze towards the wooden house. The captain covered the hole with swift speed, turned his head and bit his arm hard, and only with the help of the pain in his heart could he stop the exclamation that almost blurted out.
After a long time, the captain adjusted his mentality, and only after holding his breath did he remove his palm, and re-leaned back into the gap to peek out.
The strange beast just now was gone, but the figures jumping everywhere near and far became more and more frequent. Although the houses in Big Rock Village are not very tall, they are more than 3 meters tall, but for these strange beasts, they only need a vertical jump, and they can roll over with a slight force on the wooden wall.
From the strength and agility they showed, it only takes 2-3 to destroy their lord's guard. After all, recruits who have never experienced war encounter such a fierce beast and are likely to turn around and run away in fright, so that the opponent can easily bite off the back of their necks. Among the 10-person lord guard, the only ones who have some combat experience are him and the deputy captain. After all, the two of them were promoted after the previous battles against bandits, and the rest are outright recruits, and it is estimated that many of them have never even seen blood.
As the thought continued, a pair of blood-red ghostly fires suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and his breath was audible, separated only by a thin layer of wood.
It was the eye of that monster that was discovered!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the captain of the guard instinctively leaned back, and the steel sword in his right hand had already stabbed out, piercing through the plank and slamming into the middle of the two ghostly fires.
A miserable scream of "whoop" sounded outside the house, instantly alarming the many strange beasts coming and going in Dayan Village. Countless figures jumped up in the air, constantly borrowing strength from the wooden house and grass hut, and almost completely surrounded the wooden house in a few fingers.
Under the captain's hurried command, everyone in the house quickly blocked several main entrances and exits with a few pieces of furniture, and gathered their weapons in their hands in a circle near the firepit, trembling and waiting for an unknown fate.
"Click" "click" ......
The sound of cracking planks could be heard all over the cabin, and strange beasts were scratching and rushing almost everywhere up and down, left and right. Some unstable places have already broken open their mouths, and the steaming hot breath exhaled by the alien beasts rushed in through the cracks, and a pair of eerie ghost fires stared at everyone through the cracks, and a low "woo" roar resounded through the silent world.
Everyone in the room was pale, their bodies trembled, if it weren't for each other snuggling up to each other, some people would have been unable to resist the sinister atmosphere and fled with their heads in their arms.
There were a few loud clicks, the wooden planks of the roof were crushed through several large holes that could see the moon disk in the sky, and the bright moonlight was quietly sprinkled on everyone's bodies, but it could not bring them the slightest peace. A few sturdy beasts tumbled in, their claws clutching the planks tightly, roaming the ceiling and walls as if they were walking on the ground, their dark eyes staring deeply at a target, and every now and then let out a low roar.
