Heart of the Castle

Chapter 216 Fierce Battle in the Rotten Swamp ([-])
"It's now, rush out! Master Levi, take the priests and leave first, and I will break up with Captain Els!" Wilps yelled, waving his long sword like a whirlwind, and the people around him The hag was cut by the sword edge burning with red fighting energy, and turned into lifeless rotten flesh.

"There is a sea of ​​flames ahead, how do we charge?" Babrupa screamed.

"Borrow the knife." Pastor Fallon covered his numb neck with one hand, and snatched the knife from Babrupa's hand with the other. "That's it!" The priest roared, and the knife sank into the horse beside him. Hind.

The horse neighed in pain, jumped up and kicked wildly, and then the frenzied horse rushed into the burning hags like a siege engine, knocking over many hags along the way, and stopped it until it got stuck in the quagmire crazy ride.

The priests did not hesitate to choose to open the passage according to their leader's method. The horses screamed and rushed towards the group of hags. Some stepped out of the path early and fell into the mire struggling to sink, while others were lucky. He ran wildly until he disappeared from sight.But no matter which one it is, they all rushed out a path without flames among the hags in front of them.

"Everyone, come with me!" Levi shouted, but most of the pastors had already run ahead of him.The young knight caught a glimpse of Priest Speck, who was injured in his arm, walking at the end with his temporarily blind companion. He hurriedly pulled his pony over, and helped the blind man up with Priest Speck.

The hags right in front of the team had completely lost their minds. They were covered with crimson flames and thick black smoke, biting and scratching each other in the quagmire. Some lucky ones sank into the quagmire and let the flames go out instead. Most hags could only flail their arms and stumble, before being burned into a scorched and twisted mass.

After being rushed and trampled by the frenzied horses, the group of hags in front of him was no longer an obstacle. Li Wei ran forward for tens of meters holding the knight sword, and suddenly stopped and roared.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Will and Captain Els didn't follow!"

Hearing Li Wei's voice, the pastors stopped hesitantly and looked back.

"Ha!" Only Babrupa moved his legs and ran fast. He ran past Li Wei and said a word without looking back. "Run away, leave them alone, they are lucky..."

Levi grabbed the stubby guy by the collar of his cloak and almost lifted him up.Priest Fallon on the side glared at Babrupa, gritted his teeth and said, "Why are we going through the Rotten Swamp? We can't give up on any of our companions. Eliminating the dead requires us to gather every ounce of strength!"

"That's your reason, not mine," Babrupa protested hoarsely.

Pastor Fallon was unmoved. He cast his anxious eyes behind him, searching for the figures of his two companions.Li Wei was also anxious. He slightly avoided the sight of Pastor Faron, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly saw two bright green light spots rushing to the left in the middle of a swirling yellow light spot. Suddenly right, where the yellow light spots are dimmed, or directly extinguished.However, there are too many yellow light spots, and the green light spots are defeated one after another, and they are surrounded by groups and cannot rush out.

"They are besieged by hags, I want to go back and help them." Li Wei said, turning around and rushing towards the way he came.

"Master Li Wei, don't be stupid, we managed to get out!" Babrupa howled, "If you go back, you will just add one more person who was killed by the hag."

"You don't need to be so adventurous, Mr. Levy." Pastor Fallon said in a solemn voice, and then he turned his head to the Storm Priests, "Brothers, sing a prayer—the wrath of the sky."

"My lord Tomica, you are the ruler of the sky, and the thunder is your weapon..." Priest Storm stood there with a solemn expression, praying in unison, even those who were injured.Their voices became one, and the dark cloud in the sky gradually left the team's heads with the prayers, and drifted towards the place where Wilps and Captain Els were trapped.

There was an exceptionally loud thunderclap in the air, and then another.A flash of lightning was like a spear shot by Tomika from the sky, piercing into the group of hags behind the team, screaming one after another.Immediately followed by the second, the third... A total of five bolts of lightning bombarded the past continuously, finally stopping the attack of the hag group, the black wave rolled back, and the bloody Captain Els and Wei Elps and the two rushed out, pulling their horses.

The two looked in a state of distress. Wilpus, who had killed the enemy with his fighting spirit and swordsmanship, seemed to be fine. Captain Els's face and hands were covered with stinky hag blood, and he grinned ferociously with his mouth open. , It's like an evil spirit crawling out of hell.

"Go! Go!" cried Wilps, looking back.The hags chased after them unwillingly, but the speed of these guys moving on the land was really not very good, and they were quickly thrown off.

After throwing off the pursuit of the group of hags, the team ran forward at the fastest speed for more than half an hour before stopping to take a rest.The people injured in the fierce battle just now couldn't help moaning as soon as they sat down, and even Li Wei felt a little out of breath.

"We, we seem to... completely get rid of those damn... hags." Babrupa came over out of breath, and sat down next to Li Wei, "Master, the fireball you just had How could it... be so powerful!"

"That's not just the reason for the fireball." Li Wei answered him with a frown, "I have dealt with this kind of undead guys on the northern border. Their bodies are like wax, and their bones are like a fist. Dry firewood, as long as it is burned with fire, it will be solved at once."

"Those hags are not undead." Babrupa shook his head, "They should actually be aquatic monsters."

"Then how do you explain that the aquatic monsters will burn and crackle? As far as I know, when aquatic creatures are hit by flames, their resistance is quite good. On the contrary, lightning strikes will make them taste bad." Will Pusi walked over leading his horse and said.

Now his and Li Wei's mounts have become all the surviving legs of the team. Although Captain Els's horse was not used to charge away the burning hags, it really couldn't bear the weight of his full armor. The back was crushed abruptly and is now being diagnosed by several priests who were not injured.

Babrupa froze for a moment, then turned his eyes to think.

"Moreover, monsters like hags are not a specialty of the Rotten Swamp. I have dealt with them before, and they are simply a group of cowardly guys than goblins. Not to mention the vindictive light rising from the knights, they are just a few young and strong adventurers Take out the weapon, so that the hag will not dare to approach casually." Wilps continued.

"Since it is a living thing, it may be killed by evil undead magic, and then transformed into an even more evil undead." Li Wei suddenly mentioned a creepy possibility.

"Damn, young master Li Wei, your words scared me to death." Babrupa shuddered, and then said reluctantly: "Bless you, Alara the Great Merciful, I hope this is just your guess. That's all."

"Anyway, we all rushed over without a single victim." Pastor Fallon joined the conversation with a few dead branches under his ribs, "Babrupa, look at these things, can they be used to light a fire? "

"Fire?" Babrupa's voice changed. He jumped up from the ground, stared at Pastor Faron and said, "Priest, are you trying to kill everyone? Or was it that the hag just killed you?" You’ve lost your sanity? What’s this place? The Rotten Swamp! If you light a fire, all the monsters within a radius of several kilometers will be attracted!”

"I thought the fire would scare the beasts, and everyone needed to eat some hot food to restore their strength." Pastor Fallon explained with some embarrassment.

"Fire can only scare ordinary beasts, but there are many more monsters in the Rotten Swamp than beasts. Let me tell you, the shorter we stay here, the more chance we have to get out safely. Now we have rested It's been a long time, and it's time to go, keep going, and try to get out of this damned swamp before night falls."
