Lord: Exiled by Stepmother, I'll Rule the World Anyway

The main building has four floors above ground. The stone walls are covered with purple decaying plants. The scene inside the house can be seen through the broken windows.

The overturned furniture had the secretions of corrupt organisms hanging everywhere, like silk holes.

The corpses were huddled together with empty eyes. Most of them were wearing linen clothes, and some of them were wearing tattered armor. Field even saw a corpse wearing a mage's robe.

"Be careful, the sound of fighting alarms them."

As soon as Ashina finished speaking, the floor-to-ceiling windows on the third floor seemed to be sparse, and a bunch of grotesque corrupted creatures poured out of them. Accompanied by a strange smile filled with murderous intent, a skinny rotten corpse landed on the ground, and without giving Field any time to marvel, it rushed over with huge steps.

"One, two,..." Ashina counted.

"Uh, no need to count, there are too many to count." At a glance, there were at least a hundred of them, and they were still increasing. Seeing so many monsters, Field's face showed a solemn look.

Ashina shook her head and said, "No, I'm analyzing their levels. There are quite a few extraordinary corpses."

"Extraordinary rotting corpses, and there are a lot of them?" Field's eyelids twitched, but he still remained calm and sent a retreat signal to the cavalry, "Let the cavalry come back, the halberdiers rely on the wooden wall to defend, and the rear row is ready to release arrows, directly Use enchanted arrows.”

The slave blew the horn, and after receiving the order, the cavalry immediately gave up the fight and quickly returned to the military formation from the right wing. They were all panting heavily, and the swords in their hands were shaking. This was not only due to fatigue, but also due to over-excitement and a large amount of adrenaline secretion. .

The slaves who accompanied the army came and went, constantly stringing the crossbows and dipping the arrows in purifying potions. The enchantment Field is talking about is soaking arrowheads in purifying potions. These potions with the power of holy light are extremely resistant to corruption.

The tide of corpses was already approaching the wooden fortress where the lynx was located at the fastest speed. The halberdier soldiers behind the wooden wall lined up in a dense queue, trying their best to stretch their halberds forward and aim at the roaring corpses.

"Fire the arrow." Field ordered.

"Hey~" Ashina drew her arrow and opened her bow. The silver arrow carrying the power of winter was like a gorgeous comet, hitting the head of the second-level carrion at the front.

The arrogant expression of the second-level carrion disappeared. To be precise, most of his head was blown away by an arrow.

"Stretch, stretch~"

Just like a signal, when the guards and armed slaves in the back row saw the silver arrows, they all fired their crossbows. The crisp sound was like firecrackers, and they suddenly went off.

There is no need to string the crossbow. The guard directly hands the used crossbow to the slave behind him, and the slave then strings it and hands it back to the guard. Therefore, the back row of thirty or forty people can ensure that the arrows are flowing like locusts.

The arrows pierced the sky, immediately causing wails and rain of blood among the corpses. A large number of rotten corpses fell to the ground like wheat, struck by arrows.

Crossbow arrows are inherently powerful, but they attack flesh and blood bodies that have no armor to defend themselves.

Ordinary rotten corpses can be killed with one arrow, and crossbow arrows can even penetrate the body and kill the rotten corpses behind them. The extraordinary rotting corpse did not get a favor either. Under the strong restraining effect of the purification potion, it could be killed. Even if it did not die, the severe burning sensation on the body would make the already numb soul feel a severe pain. Pain and loss of combat effectiveness.

Using so many purifying potions is extremely luxurious.

"Be careful of the enemy's long-range means." After Asuna finished speaking, she subconsciously stood in front of Field. She had been paying attention to the battlefield situation, "I will attack."

"Don't worry, I believe in the soldiers of the Night Territory." Field gritted his teeth and glanced at the small map. The red dot was still in the basement. "Everyone is a first-level divine choice. The more strength you retain, the better your chance of winning."

"Well." Ashina's scarlet eyes scanned the battlefield and reminded, "Be careful that the enemy also has means of attacking from a distance."

After the rotting corpses ate another seven or eight waves of arrows, the guards also entered the shooting range of the rotting corpses. The grotesque monsters behind them shot out a large number of bone spurs from their bodies and shot them towards the military formation.

Because of Ashina's reminder, Field responded immediately: "Stop firing, raise your shield! Prepare to engage the enemy!"

The guards immediately raised their iron shields to cover their heads. Almost at the same time, the sound of "clinking" iron was heard, and the bone spurs fell into the military formation and were blocked by shields, iron armors and wooden walls. However, many guards were still The tingling sensation on his body made him grin.

"ah!"

The slaves behind the formation were not so lucky. Three of them were nailed to death by bone spurs on the spot. The other slaves were so frightened that their legs weakened and they turned around and wanted to escape. However, when they saw the cavalry pressing down from behind, they were afraid of being killed as deserters. For a moment, At a loss.

"Hide behind the low wall and continue loading the crossbow." Field waved his hand.

"Watch out for arrows."

Asuna turned the spear with one hand. The rapidly rotating spear was like a rotor, knocking down all the flying bone spurs.

Field's forehead was sweating, but his expression did not change. He could not show panic in front of the soldiers.

There are many types of corrupted creatures, and the rotting corpses that we encountered before were just the lowest form of cannon fodder.

"Fortunately, I didn't have any clues when I first came to the manor. If we had attacked the main building directly, there wouldn't even be any scum left."

"boom!"

The corrupt creature rushed over like a mad dog, not caring that it was greeted by a bright halberd. It hit it hard, its head was directly pierced by the halberd, and its body hit the wooden wall, knocking off a lot of dust.

"Ho ho ho~"

Corrupted creatures kept pouring out from various exits of the main building, roaring at the top of their lungs, and then crashed into the defense line.

The wooden castle tactic has proven to be very effective. The wights have to cross or destroy the thick wooden walls to kill the guards, but the guards can easily blow off the wights' heads with their halberds and maces.

Within a quarter of an hour, countless rotten corpses fell under the wooden wall, and the air was filled with a suffocating and rich rotten smell.

"coming!"

Just when Field was about to let the cavalry attack from the flank, he suddenly noticed that the "wave" of carrion had a red dot mark mixed in. Field was frightened for a while, but fortunately he did not relax his vigilance. If he had looked a second later, the entire defense line might have been destroyed. Cut to collapse.

Field whispered: "She is hiding among the corpses."

"Leave it to me!" Asheina obviously became serious, extremely serious, and even spoke less.

Asheina pretended not to know, left from the left wing, pretended to attack the flank of the carrion, and drove the dragon wolf just to knock it out.

An extremely thick ripple of black-red energy suddenly swept out! With a crackling sound, all the rotting corpses along the way exploded into a ball of blood mist, and the sound of explosions filled the air for a long time.

"Hmph, I still like to play dirty tricks so much." Ashina looked cold and snorted disdainfully. She was well prepared and just dodged the explosive blow.
