Heart of the Castle

Chapter 214 Fierce Battle in the Rotten Swamp ([-])
"Be careful, everyone, there's more than one hag!" The young knight yelled sharply, while drawing his sword in his hand, his body glowed with a bright silver-white grudge.

The sound of rattling and rattling was endless, and the mud puddles on both sides of the path were bubbling like a boiling soup pot. Countless heads with long hair and loose hair appeared on the surface of the water, and on the ugly faces covered with sarcoma and abscess, pairs of dark red eyes were exposed. Greedy eyes.

"Hitch, hag, so many, so many!" Babrupa howled like a piglet about to be slaughtered.

"Thank you for pointing out this obvious fact, Babrupa." Wilps nailed his saber into the body of the hag that was dragged ashore, then looked at the struggling monster, frowned and said: " Now what we want to know more is how to deal with these monsters called hags!"

"It shouldn't be like this... Hags are not brave monsters. Although they appear in groups, they only attack single travelers. We have so many people, how could it be, how could it be..." Babrupa obviously Some were frightened and stupid, talking nonsensically.

The hags made moaning and howling sounds, and countless withered arms stretched out from the mud. From a distance, it looked like a large withered bush suddenly appeared.Li Wei and Wilpus stood on both sides of the team respectively, arousing the fighting spirit light with all their strength, the fiery red and silver white complement each other, making the hag who approached make a strange and hoarse wail, lingering and daring to move forward.

However, there are too many hags. Although Li Wei and Wilps managed to frighten the hags on both sides of the road, more hags have climbed up from farther away, screaming like howling, dragging Muddy water and filth approached the crowd.

There was a small commotion in the team. Captain Ayers held up a huge thorny shield to block the back of the team. The dark and rocky grudge glowed from his body, although there was no grudge from Levi and Wilps. The power is impressive, but there is another feeling of indestructibility.The hags approaching in front can only be dealt with by the priests. Although these priests also hold the hammers and pose for battle, they are obviously not suitable for this situation. When swinging a warhammer, is it more of a threat to the enemy or a greater threat to the comrades around you.

"Don't panic!" Pastor Faron's voice sounded, "We are all humble servants of the Thunderer, for the reputation of the God of the Sky, for the honor of the Temple of Storms, and for the residents of North Aura who are threatened by the plague, We must rush out of this swamp and eliminate the source of the plague!"

The passionate voice brought shame to the faces of the pastors, and then their expressions hardened.Under the deployment of Priest Faron, those priests who were not familiar with melee combat retreated behind their companions, and began to pray with their warhammers in both hands.

"Praise my lord Tomica, your might is far and wide, breaking the sky. In this critical moment, your servant humbly begs you to send down thunder and sweep away the evil spirits!" With the voice of prayer, The sky gradually darkened, dark clouds gathered from all directions over the team, and there was a faint sound of thunder rolling past.

At this time, Babrupa gradually calmed down, and pulled out a ridiculous-looking knife from his waist, shaking it in front of him. "Be careful, damned hag, be careful with the knife in my hand! If you touch a single hair of Master Babrupa with your filthy fingers, I'll treat you like potatoes and shred you!"

"Your threat is as ridiculous as your knife." Priest Faron said, "Babrupa, why don't you use your experience to judge, what are these monsters waiting for?"

"They are waiting for the leader to give an order... There must be a leader in such a large group of hags. As long as the leader called the old hag is killed, the rest will be much easier." Babrupa's words made everyone feel To settle down, it must be a very troublesome thing to find the leader among so many hags and kill them.However, killing the leader is more realistic than eliminating the entire group of hags. In addition, the dark cloud summoned by the priests is gradually lowering, and the sense of deterrence brought by the hags seems to have weakened a little.

Only Li Wei felt a little strange. In the vision of his probing technique, all the hags showed yellow light spots of the same color and size, and none of them could be called the leader, and...

"Mr. Babrupa, what kind of monster is a hag, is it a kind of undead?" Li Wei suddenly asked.Babrupa shook his head, and asked a little strangely: "Master Li Wei, who instilled this wrong experience in you? The hag looks like a combination of ghosts and zombies among undead creatures. But they are not undead, but living monsters."

"A living...stranger?" Li Wei muttered with a solemn expression. In the light curtain of the exploration technique that only he could see, the word undead was particularly eye-catching.

"Kill them!" A voice came from an extremely distant place, shaking everyone's eardrums like thunder, and then the countless hags screamed strangely at the same time, and swarmed towards the team.

There was a flash of lightning, followed by deafening thunder.A glaring deep purple electric light was cast from the dark clouds above the team's heads, and it exploded in the group of hags.The few hags who were struck by the lightning immediately sank into the quagmire with their bodies scorched black, and then the electric light jumped and spread on the water. dance.

"More than a dozen were killed!" A priest exclaimed in surprise.

"But there are still several hundred!" Captain Els' muffled reply came from the end of the line, followed by the whine of the heavy shield being swung, the bang of the shield hitting the flesh, and the hoarseness of the hags The sharp strange screams sounded at the same time.Li Wei glanced at the end of the line from the corner of his eye, and found that there was a heavy rain of hag corpse fragments.

Captain Ayers seemed to be like a crazy rhinoceros, waving a large prickly shield and rushing through the group of hags. The hags standing in front of him were either hit by the shield and flew into the air in a mess; or Hit by his body, crushed in the muddy road.

Li Wei was watching with excitement, when Wilps' reminder suddenly came from his ear: "Master Li Wei, be careful ahead!" The young knight suddenly woke up, and a particularly ugly and tall hag had already rushed in front of him, withered and black. His fingers stretched out like chicken paws, grabbing Levi's face.

There are long nails on the hag's claws. These nails are not only hard and sharp, not inferior to ordinary steel knives and iron swords, but also contain quite violent toxins. The priest whose feet were scratched has to stay put now. In the middle of the team, although his feet were treated with the detoxification magic in time, they still remained numb.

With such a lesson from the past, Li Wei of course dealt with it with extra care.Holding the sword in both hands, he struck hard at the hag's grasped hands. The excellent knight's sword produced by the blacksmith in the heart of the castle was so sharp that it splashed sparks on the hag's hands!
The hag hissed and howled, a few black fingers were cut off by the long sword, and stinky black blood spilled on the ground.Li Wei took a step forward, the sword light flashed, and slashed fiercely on the hag's bony shoulder.The place where the blade hits doesn't look like flesh at all, but feels as flexible as old cowhide. However, under the dual effects of sacrificing fighting spirit and sharp blade, the knight's sword still cuts off the shoulder blades, shriveled chest and ribs, and finally Stuck on the hag's spine.

The hag hissed and howled, then died in convulsions. Before Li Wei could draw out his long sword, a new hag rushed over.Seeing that the young knight was now unarmed, the vicious aberrations howled and clawed at them with black, charcoal claws.

Li Wei turned around, and the knight sword was pulled out from the dead hag's chest, and a half-moon-shaped silver arc appeared around him.The hags backed away with strange screams, only the two hags who rushed too far forward couldn't hold back their feet, and were slashed by the sword light from the waist, and they didn't stop until they chopped down to the spine.

More hags came from all directions like a tide, and there were ugly figures shaking around.Li Wei held the sword in both hands and slashed vigorously. The light of the sword danced like a storm. The hag who rushed forward fell beside him like a tattered puppet, and the strange scream resounded through the sky.The same fierce battle unfolded around the team. The hag was like a lunatic, and she rushed towards the team without fear of death. Everyone brandished war hammers, long swords and barbed shields to attack head-on, and black blood spattered.The first batch of hags rushing up was crushed like waves blocked by rocks, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the second batch of hags surged up again.

The thunderbolt exploded, and the dark purple thunder slashed down from the air again, raging in the hag crowd like a strange snake, and the ear-piercing strange screams joined together, and there was an obvious gap in the dark hag crowd, but it was only a few breaths In a short time, this gap was filled by the ghosts who came up.
