Celestial Mage

Chapter 158 The Dead Who Came By Night (24)

The night in the north is as black as ink.

A bonfire was lit in the middle of the owl sentry, dispelling the darkness a little.

Beside the bonfire, Angore knelt on the ground with his hands bound behind him, surrounded by exorcist warriors.

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

Xia Lina held the steel crossbow on the string, and the arrow pointed at Anglo's chest.

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

Anglo nodded.

"The rebels believed in the evil god Lada, accepted the curse of ice blood, and their combat effectiveness became very strong."

"An ordinary Frost Warrior needs two low-level elite fighters to deal with it. Not to mention that there are several high-level strong fighters among them."

"The number of regular troops in Whitehorse Town is less than 1000, and the number of elite troops is less than 200. In a real fight, even if the baron can block the rebels with the strong walls of Whitestone Castle, Whitehorse Town will definitely be over."

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

"In desperation, the baron had no choice but to ask the necromancer Damsis for help, because only the necromancer army can stop the ice-blooded warriors and eliminate this disaster."

Xia Lina sneered: "It's a good idea for the baron to fight, so 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 tourists from other places. These account for the majority. The other part is the death row prisoners in prison. Of course, these are not enough."

Vice-captain Feilin understood: "So, the night attack of the dead half a month ago was directed and acted by the Baron himself, just to get more puppets of the dead?"

Angore shook his head slightly: "I'm just in charge of the affairs, and I don't know what the baron really thinks, but judging from the final results, the baron may have such an idea."

Xia Lina smiled coldly when she heard this: "In the beginning, the baron definitely didn't want to do this. If you really want a puppet of the dead, it's much safer to find the villagers in the nearby mountain village."

"I guess it should be the necromancer Damsis's unilateral idea. It is not only a harvest of necromancer puppets, but also a warning to the baron."

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

This is called down and up!
In other words, the Necromancer is out of control.

Anglo nodded in agreement: "Based on what I know about the Baron, this lady's statement should be the closest to the truth."

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

Angore shook his head: "After that night, I was transferred to the owl guard, and I didn't know anything about what happened after that."

After a pause, he said: "Since Damsis has enough necromancer puppets, according to the agreement, he should go into the mountains to deal with the Frost Warriors, right?"

Xia Lina snorted coldly: "The necromancer has already sold his soul to the devil, expecting them to abide by the contract is as unreliable as letting a dog not eat shit."

"Angelo, you and I go back to the temple to hide. At the critical moment, you need to come out and correct the baron's crimes!"

Anglo was taken aback: "I swear allegiance to the Baron"

In the middle of the conversation, it was planned by Xia Lina.

"No, you swore allegiance to the Baron favored by the God of Gold, not to a cold-blooded devil who sold the townspeople to necromancers as puppets!"

Anglo let out a long breath: "Understood. God of Gold, I will go back to the temple with you."

He turned his head and glanced at the other fighters: "How are they doing?"

Xia Lina lowered the steel crossbow: "I was just knocked out. We are exorcist warriors, not butchers."

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

He was ready to get up.

"and many more!"

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

"What?" Sharina was startled.

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

Deputy captain Feilin turned pale, and immediately waved his hand: "Close the gate immediately!"

Two exorcist warriors quickly ran to close the door.

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

Sharina was incredulous: "Rosen, how did you find out?"

Rosen pointed to his nose: "Smell."

After accepting Oleikea's vitality, his body has always been in the best state of health, and he is very good, unlike the usual northerners who are usually ruined by rhinitis for most of their sense of smell.

Xia Lina sniffed her nose hard, her face turned cold immediately: "It really is the stench of rotting corpses!"

They must have been surrounded by armies of the undead.

Feilin frowned: "Is the baron planning to kill us?"

Xia Lina sneered: "It must be the unilateral intention of the Necromancer Damsis, the baron is not so courageous!"

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

Xia Lina immediately said: "There must be an internal response to him in the town. It is most likely the Nightingale Club!"

Rosen smiled and said, "It must be Nightingale. Because only Nightingale knows that we are looking for Anglo."

For this, he was mentally prepared early in the morning.

Anglo immediately yelled: "Give me the weapon and let me participate in the battle!"

In his opinion, surrounded by the army of undead, they must die today, but as soldiers, even if they know they must die, they must fight to the end.

After pondering for a few seconds, Xia Lina clicked to untie his hands: "Go, wake up the soldiers with cold water, everyone is fully armed, and 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, and Mage Rosen can also use the flying technique."

The implication is that the soldiers who abandoned the owl sentry.

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

Ferlin was right when he thought about it, so he dismissed the idea of ​​breaking out.

On the other side, Anglo immediately got up and complied.

After finishing speaking, Xia Lina began to spread the key points of dealing with undead puppets.

"The necromancer is fearless, tireless, harmless, and will launch a terrifying blood explosion, which is enough to break through any intermediate-level and below-level defenses!"

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

"Take out all the arrows, Rosen, and use your burning praise to enchant them!"

"As ordered."

"Have you brought the mid-level wisdom potion with you? If you have it, drink it."

"I know it well, don't worry, Captain Xia Lina."

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

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

While speaking, Angore had already awakened his stunned subordinates, and brought out three bundles of about 300 iron arrows: "Mage, all the arrows in the guard post are here."

With a thought, Rosen launched a scorching salute.

This is an intermediate six-star logic spell.

A Searing Tribute can only enchant a maximum of 20 arrows.To enchant all 300 arrows, that is 15 middle-level spells, even high-level mages are a little bit strenuous.

But Rosen has the dexterity to cast spells.

Each scorching salute only gives 10% of the spell's scale, and the strength has not changed. Although the total power is much smaller, because it is shot into the opponent's body, it can still cause huge damage.

In this way, 15 enchantments is equivalent to only releasing 1.5 standard burning praises.

Burning Praise does not consume much energy, and there is a flower staff to help save mana, so after the enchantment, Rosen still has [-]% of the mana in his body.

When enchanting, Rosen quickly explained how to use it.

"My mana is limited. After being enchanted, the flame power on each arrow is equivalent to a large torch. Try to shoot them into the chest of the necromancer puppets to roast the viscera of the necromancer puppets and consume the energy in them to the greatest extent. strength."

"clear."

After the enchantment was completed, there was a layer of bright yellow streamer on the surface of the Iron Arrow, and it felt warm to the touch, giving people a sense of peace of mind.

At this time, the exorcist warriors had already planted torches on the guard wall of the sentry post, and through the light of the torches, one could faintly see the undead puppets staggering forward on the farmland.

But it is still too dark to see clearly, and in this kind of night battle, once a puppet is missed and it rushes to the wall to launch a blood explosion, the result will be very serious.

Xia Lina immediately asked Rosen for help: "The light is too dark, mage, is there a way?"

Rosen was naturally prepared.

With a thought, the flower staff pointed to the sky.

Dexterous casting. 400% low-level light spell.

A glaring eyeball with the size of a head appeared on the tip of the stick, and after a moment, it shot straight into the sky, and the light quickly became brighter, as if a white sun had risen from the ground.

Moments later, the ball of light rose to a height of [-] meters, and the emitted light reflected the owl sentry post and the surrounding hundreds of meters like a full moon night.

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

During this time, the exorcist warriors and sentry guards have also boarded the platform behind the parapet.

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

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

They were dressed in dirty and muddy clothes, their eyes were white, their skin was blue, their bodies were slightly swollen, their hair was covered with dried mud, and their swollen heads were stuck like batter.

Anglo glanced around quickly, his pupils shrank sharply: "There are more than 140!"

There were only 10 soldiers stationed at the entire sentry post, but only 10 exorcist warriors came, plus a mage, that is 21 people, the difference in numbers 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.

"I can't keep it! Run quickly, as many as you can run, otherwise we will all be turned into undead!"

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers couldn't help shrinking back.

Only Anglo remained courageous and sober.

He shouted: "Why are you running? Didn't you see everything around you? It's late at night, where are you going? Aren't you afraid of being blocked by a necromancer?!"

These words immediately broke the soldiers' thoughts.

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

After yelling, he softened his tone a little: "Hold the sentry post, fight to the end, there is still a chance of survival. If we run away, we will all die in this ghost place today!"

After being yelled at by him a few times, the sentry guards also clenched their weapons again, ready to fight to the death.

Xia Lina watched from the side, secretly relieved, and connected in time.

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

In fact, she didn't know the bottom line in her heart. The necromancer puppets that had appeared in front of her eyes were not very threatening, but it was hard to say what hadn't been shown.

In particular, 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 spells.
