Chapter 114 Enemies are narrow in the road
According to Kevin, the news he received from the necromancer is like this - this necromancer is a subordinate of the vampire Count Manfred, and this vampire Count is on a terrible and evil mission, which is to resurrect the rumored infamous necromancer, the creator of all undead creatures, the most powerful necromancer... Nagash.
And the corpses he collected were the army of necromancers prepared for Nagash after his resurrection.
Not only that, Kevin also got a terrifying news from the necromancer. This time, Nagash was not just about resurrection. He even tried to use this resurrection to make himself the God of Death! For this reason, Manfred even kidnapped princesses from the high elves, the Archbishop of the Temple of Sigma, and others, trying to use their blood, magic and soul to make Nagash successfully ascend to the gods!
“We have to stop all this!”
Standing beside Duanmuhuai, Kevin looked at the mercenaries in front of him with a serious expression.
"If Nagash cannot be prevented from resurrection or even let him become the God of Death, then the world will face even more terrible suffering. Of course, I know this is not within our agreement, but I hope you can..."
Listening to Kevin''s words, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes silently. Perhaps for others, Kevin''s words were fine, but Duanmu Huai obviously didn''t see it that way.
If Kevin was really the emperor, then of course he would not be able to come here to take risks in boredom - this is the adventurer''s life, not the emperor''s life. So Duanmu Huai guessed that the reason why Kevin acted like this was probably because he had heard some kind of rumor - for example, he learned of an ancient and evil plan, which was related to the rumors that he was rampant here and attracted corpses, so he pretended to be a nobleman and planned to start from here with the mercenaries.
Then, on the other hand, even if the news of Nagash''s resurrection is true, maybe this is part of a bigger conspiracy... Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, right?
Duanmu Huai didn''t know that if Manfred knew what he was thinking, the vampire count would probably have spitted him to death with an old blood. In fact, Manfred''s resurrection plan is so unsuccessful, ninety percent of it is caused by Duanmu Huai.
First of all, Duanmu Huai recovered the staff located in the monastery and the witchcraft crown in the ruins of Toddheim according to the instructions of the goddess in the lake, which made Manfred almost useless, especially in Toddheim. Because Manfred did not have the ability to drill space like Duanmu Huai, he also led his army of undead and the Chaos Warriors to fight with real swords and guns. Not to mention the tragic victory, when Manfred entered the treasure house, the witchcraft crown had long been passed by Duanmu Huai.
For this reason, Manfred was scolded by Nagash, who was far away in the underworld. Later, in order to make up for his mistakes, he planned to rob the dimensional stone taken away by the empire from Maudheim, but was defeated by Duanmuhuai again. Not only was the dimensional stone not obtained, but the other prop Fallen Blade used to resurrect Nagash was also taken away by Duanmuhuai. It can be said that he had lost his wife and his troops.
Of course, Duanmu Huai didn''t know about it. If he didn''t know about it, it was equivalent to not happening before. It had nothing to do with him.
In the end, the other mercenaries agreed to continue to act with Kevin to thwart the vampire Earl''s plan - this is not how noble they are. On the one hand, the Necromancer is indeed the enemy of all living people. On the other hand, this time the plan is mainly to save the captives. I heard that there are princesses of the high elves and archbishops of Sigma. If they can get in touch with these people, they will inevitably be rewarded.
Wealth, reputation, and status are all within your reach!
If you talk about danger, it is naturally dangerous, because the place they are going to next is not elsewhere, but Manfred''s nest, the land where undead creatures are rampant - Sylvania.
But for mercenaries, is this also a matter?
If you are afraid of danger, who will be a mercenary? Go home and farm.
So, after that, the group continued to set out to Sylvania, a territory ruled by vampires.
“What a pity…”
Looking at the castle in the distance, Duanmu Huai sighed silently.
"What a pity? Mr. Knight? What a pity??"
Hearing Duanmu Huai''s sigh, An blinked curiously and looked at him and asked.
"It''s a pity that we are here to save people. If we are here to kill people, just blow them up..."
Duanmu Huai looked forward again and shrugged helplessly. The castle in the distance looks lonely and deserted, which is no different from the old medieval spire castle in many vampire movies. The surroundings are full of dry and dead trees. With the crows and bats wandering in the distance, you can get it directly to the opening set of the horror movie if you add a BGM.
If Duanmuhuai was not here to save people, to be honest, he could directly fire a gunboat for aerial carpet bombing, razing the entire castle to the ground before dealing with the rest.
But it’s a pity... they came to save people.
"But Mr. Knight, why do I feel that you are not in a good mood? Do you hate ghosts?"
"I can''t say I like it."
"But isn''t Mr. Knight very powerful? When those ghosts see you, they all run away! It''s so amazing!"
“…Stop talking.”
Hearing An''s words, Duanmu Huai''s face suddenly turned gloomy. After entering Sylvania, the group of people was of course attacked by ghosts and ghosts. As a result, Ojisi suddenly suggested that Duanmu Huai could scare away these ghosts. Since then, Duanmu Huai had to continue moving forward without wearing a helmet. What made him unhappy was that after that, the group did not encounter any attacks from ghosts and ghosts again and arrived at the destination smoothly.
But this made Duanmu Huai even more unhappy.
When he returns to deal with this matter, he must educate Ojis carefully, what he can say and what he cannot say.
What does "the master''s face have a miraculous effect on expelling ghosts"?
Is my face an exorcist prop? !
Forget it, don’t think that there are all these things now.
Duanmu Huai withdrew his thoughts and looked at Kevin. "Okay, what are the next plan? Or do we have other plans besides breaking the front line? Or do we say the same thing? The troops are divided into two groups?"
“That’s all right now.”
Kevin nodded with a wry smile.
"If you can attract the other person''s attention, we may take the opportunity to sneak in from behind, and find the imprisoned prisoners and rescue them."
"Okay, that''s it. Just leave the main entrance to us. You can find a way for yourself."
Duanmu Huai doesn''t care. Basically, he works with others, and his tactics are always this - after all, with his physique and conspicuousness, it is basically impossible to play other methods other than direct breakthroughs.
Maybe you can play stealth by putting a wooden box?
But where can I find such a big wooden box?
After confirming the plan, Duanmu Huai took Ojisi and An toward the main entrance of the castle with great strides, while the others walked around the back of the castle under Kevin''s leadership. As for whether they planned to drill into the sewer or climb the wall, that was their business.
The entire castle gate was closed. When Duanmu Huai arrived at the gate of the city, he soon saw the ground in front of him flip open. Then several skeleton guards holding weapons crawled out from the ground. However, the moment when these skeleton guards raised their heads and saw Duanmu Huai''s ferocious face, they let out a shrill scream. Then the soul flame in the skeleton guards'' eyes suddenly extinguished, and they turned into a pile of broken bones and collapsed to the ground, leaving no movement.
[You use spiritual deterrence to the Skeleton Guard]
[The Skeleton Guard tries to resist mental deterrence...the resistance failed]
[Skeleton Guards are in a state of collapse]
[Death of the Skeleton Guard]
………MMP.
Duanmu Huai turned his eyes and stopped looking at the system prompts in front of him. Then he looked at An next to him.
"Breaking this door opens!"
“Ah, oh!”
An, who was watching the show next to him, was stunned when he heard Duanmu Huai''s words. Then she nodded vigorously and reached out to aim at the door. Immediately afterwards, a huge fireball emerged from An''s hand and flew forward, bombarding heavily on the castle gate.
“Boom!”
The next moment, the gate of the castle was instantly blown to pieces. Duanmu Huai rushed into it with a cold face, while Ojisi and An followed closely behind.
The entire castle hall was messy, and there was no one to see. There was only a long table with several cups on it, but no other food was seen - for vampires, there was no need for other food.
“It’s really barbaric.”
On the balcony on the second floor, a cold sound came. Duanmuhuai looked up and saw that on the balcony on the second floor, several figures were hiding in the shadows.
"Who gave you the courage to come to this castle? Stupid and ignorant barbarians, your actions are nothing more than to take you further on the road of death. Soon, you will understand that in the face of the great power of death, you are simply..."
However, before he finished speaking, the other party suddenly stopped. It looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise, and then took a sudden step back.
"You, what kind of monster are you!"
"You are the monster who is stepping on the horse, okay!"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was immediately angry. You are obviously a monster, but you dare to say that I am a monster?
"Go to die!"
At this moment, Duanmu Huai also became angry and became angry and became brave. He roared angrily, and his backpack suddenly shot out, and he took Duanmu Huai to cross the hall in an instant. He saw him holding the hammer tightly and smashing it hard at the vampires standing on the balcony on the second floor!
