Heart of the Castle

Chapter 218 The Unexpected Ally

Li Wei and Wilpus were full of grudges, and the storm priests murmured praises to those who were in charge of the thunder, but everyone knew it was too late.Now they are surrounded by countless monsters in a small dry place, and there is not much room for maneuver, and this time the monsters that appear are not only hags, but also sturdy and strong monsters with maces in their hands. Werewolf, a thin lizard shooter with scales like dead leaves.The former's fierce reputation is far higher than that of hags, even in the face of a whole team of knights, they dare to rush towards them; The short bow made of water cherry wood, which is a specialty of the swamp, often makes people alert when the poisoned arrows are pierced into the body.

"What the hell, how could these monsters gather together? It shouldn't be like this!" Babrupa trembled like the last leaf in the autumn wind, but his eyes shot out a light of surprise. "There is always friction between the werewolf tribe and the lizardman tribe, and the hag has friction with all the native tribes of the Rotten Swamp. If the monsters of the Rotten Swamp could gather together like this, they would have established their own power long ago. gone."

No one paid any attention to Babrupa's soliloquy, everyone felt extremely nervous, and Li Wei was especially uneasy. He silently calculated the combat power of the alchemy warriors that could be summoned from the heart of the castle, and finally got the A vexing conclusion.Even if all the alchemy warriors in the viscount's land are assembled, plus those newly recruited in the heart of the castle, this time they will face a fierce and bitter battle!

Following Priest Storm's chanting, a dark cloud gradually formed over the team. Seeing this scene, although the monsters surrounding the team had a small commotion, they still didn't pounce.They stood there in unexpected silence, their weapons dangling menacingly.

"What are these guys waiting for?" Captain Els, who was holding a huge shield, spat to the side, "Do they want to find a good day to attack us again?"

This is of course an unfounded speculation. After saying this, he himself laughed a few times, but no one laughed with him, so Captain Els' laughter became dry, and finally he could only sigh and say: " Can anyone tell me what they are thinking?"

"Then why don't you go and ask?" Babrupa said sarcastically.This sarcastic remark caused Captain Els to give him a sideways glance, but it also ignited a spark of inspiration in Li Wei's eyes.

"Dear natives of the Rotten Swamp, why did you surround us?" Li Wei suddenly took a step forward and asked loudly.His voice echoed over the swamp, something unexpected happened, and a voice responded immediately from among the monsters.

"Human beings, you are the ones who have stepped into our homeland, so of course we have to deal with you." The voice was actually speaking fluent common language, but the tone seemed very strange and hoarse, and very unfriendly.

"This is indeed your home." Levi nodded in agreement, "But who are you?"

Another voice sounded, accompanied by a hiss like a snake spitting a letter. "Human boy, when sharp arrows pierce your eye sockets and heart, remember that it was Gala from the Grayscale tribe who did it!" The guy who spoke walked out from the crowd of monsters. It was a particularly thin lizard man, holding Holding a gray and white short bow.

"And Worf of the Sharptooth Tribe!" A strange voice sounded from another direction, this time with a whooping sound that seemed to belong to a wolf.Immediately afterwards, a tall wolf-headed man pushed away his companion and came out. It was wearing rough armor made of animal skins and held a huge flail in its hand.This heavy weapon seemed to be very old, with a rusty, barbed hammer head the size of an imp's head, circling menacingly in the werewolf's hands.

"I'm Stiba from the Black Crow Tribe." The voice that answered first said, and then a group of extraordinarily large and strange black shadows squirmed forward, and when the mist dispersed in front of it, Li Wei discovered the black shadow It turned out to be a ragged hag riding a monster he had never seen before.This monster looks a bit like an overly strong bull, but Li Wei knows that there has never been any bull that can have such cruel and cold blood-red eyes as this monster, nor does it have the bronze luster on the surface of this monster. Strong scales.

"This monster is a snakeskin beast, Master Levi." Wilps hurriedly warned behind Levi: "When a fight starts, don't look directly into the snakeskin beast's eyes, many people are like this Inexplicably lost his life."

"I hope there won't be a fight." Levi tilted his head and replied softly, then refocused his attention on the front, "Everyone, tribal leaders of the Rotten Swamp, we came from North Aura City and passed by the Rotten Swamp. where we are happy to pay some compensation."

"North Orla, the town waiting to die in the plague?" The hag who called herself Stiba said with a strange smile: "Now we want to know, what kind of compensation can you give us?"

Pastor Fallon heard that things seemed to have changed, so he couldn't help but raised his voice and said: "We have a lot of gold and silver coins with us. If you feel that you don't have enough, there are also some medicines and supplies for you!"

Obviously this pastor is not good at bargaining. Babrupa couldn't help covering his face, lamenting that he had exposed his bottom line so early.

However, the monster side didn't intend to bargain. The hag leader shook his head, and his disheveled hair danced like water plants. "Those are not considered compensation." It said: "Why do we need yellow and white discs? Although you human travelers always carry some more or less, they are of no value to us. As for medicines and supplies, the Rotten Swamp has already prepared them for us."

"And as long as we kill you, those will all be ours!" Wolf head leader Wolf said fiercely.

"Want to see who can kill whom, good dog?" Captain Ayers growled, and immediately aroused an angry bark among the werewolves.Several tall wolf-headed men immediately jumped out of the team and rushed towards Captain Els.

But the hag riding on the snakeskin beast raised her hand: "Wait a minute, Chief Worf, restrain your subordinates, killing these humans now will not do us much good."

"Don't even try to kill me later!" Captain Ayers growled, and Pastor Fallon hurried to his side to persuade him in a low voice, and then calmed him down.

"Human boy, just now you said that you are from North Orla?" The hag leader Stiba confirmed again.

"Yes, Chief Stiba." Li Wei suppressed the anxiety in his heart and replied in the calmest tone.

"Plague City, the place cursed by the dead, isn't it?" Stiba smiled strangely with scorched yellow and messy teeth, "Human boys, if you want to go west through the rotten swamp, your goal is Isn't it the ruins of the tower occupied by the accused dead?"

"You're right." Li Wei replied, "Now, Chief Stiba, can we talk about the conditions for passing here?"

"Ha, do you want to pass through the rotting swamp? No, you won't be able to move an inch unless we allow you to pass, right?" Stiba turned and asked the two tribal leaders beside him.

"Yes, you can't make it through! Worf of the Sharp Tooth Tribe is here, and you absolutely can't make it through."

"Unless we say yes, hiss, but why should we let you pass?"

The leaders of the werewolf and lizardmen both agreed.Li Wei couldn't help holding the knight's sword, and wanted to slam it towards the damn hag's head.But if you do this, a bloody battle is inevitable.So he suppressed the irritability and anger in his heart, and said bluntly: "Boss Stiba, and Boss Worf and Gala..."

"You should put Chief Gala ahead of Chief Worf!" The lizardman chief said dissatisfiedly, and the werewolf next to him immediately glared at him.

"I think his statement is very good." The leader of Worf bared his fangs and said.

Li Wei tried his best to ignore these two guys who were caught in internal strife, and focused all his attention on the hag leader Stiba, because the young knight had noticed that among the three aboriginal leaders, riding a snakeskin beast The old hag clearly dominates.

"Chief Stiba, please don't go around in circles anymore. Now we want to pass through here. You can put forward the conditions to make way. It's that simple. What do you want, what can we pay, say it directly, and then... ..." Li Wei paused for a moment, his expression became serious, "...then we will know the result of the negotiation."

The ugly face of the leader of Stiba twitched, and Li Wei felt that the hag was smiling, but he couldn't be sure, because the hag's face was full of bruised tumors and tendons, and that smile was even uglier than crying. .

"Human boy, the crow told me not long ago that you had a fight with the hag of the Backwater Tribe, right?"

Hearing the old hag suddenly mention the battle, Li Wei's heart sank, he clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and breathed evenly to prepare for a fierce battle. At the same time, the magic symbol representing the portal was touched by a thought in his mind, and began A bluish-white light flickered.

"That's right." Li Wei's voice became indifferent, and the silver-white grudge began to shine on his hands. "Chief Stiba, do you want to avenge your comrades?"

"Of course! Human boy!" The old hag's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and it stood up from the back of the snakeskin beast, its whole black robe trembling. "But not you humans, but the deceased in the ruins of the high tower! Now, I will state our conditions. Human boy, you and everyone behind you must swear to fight side by side with us to destroy the one who dared to destroy The backwater tribe, and turned countless aborigines into undead succesfuls!"
