Heart of the Castle

Chapter 76 The Defense Force of the New Village

Under the cover of the precise long-range attack on the watchtower, Donner and Warren returned to the refugee camp safely. Just after entering the gate, Donner struggled to jump off the stretcher and walked forward with his handicapped left foot. took two steps.

Tang Na's eyes saw behind the gate, the rope on the winch had been broken in two, one was dragged on the ground, and the other was hanging in the air like a dead snake.A burly swordsman wearing a full set of metal armor and a full helmet stood beside the winch, leaning on a heavy two-handed sword, staring at the gate with sharp eyes.

"A knight." Donna muttered, and then his eyes moved, and he noticed the very faint but real green light on the swordsman.So he changed his words and said, "A high-ranking knight."

"Where is Master Li Wei? I want to report to him about the attack in the forest." Warren sat up from the stretcher. His dislocated foot had returned to its original position, but it was still so painful that he couldn't touch the ground.

The swordsman next to the winch replied in a muffled voice, "Lord Li Wei is on the watchtower, directing the battle."

Warren raised his head and saw a young man in leather armor on the high watchtower.

Unlike the group of well-equipped warriors under him, Li Wei still wore the ordinary leather armor brought out from the Viscount's castle, and the long sword with a slightly damaged edge. He looked very low-key.Sir Grace took it for granted that this was a special rule from an ancient family, and others dared not question the dress taste of an aristocratic lord.

In fact, the reason why Li Wei still wears this leather armor is very simple. The blacksmith shop has not yet been built in the heart of the castle, so the equipment on the alchemy warriors is one with these warriors themselves. Afterwards, it will be recovered by Castle Heart within an hour.So Li Wei could only look at the excellent equipment with red eyes, and he had no way to use it.

"What a group of good shooters, Mr. Levi." Sir Grace uttered admiration.

The long-range attack just now was quite astonishing in terms of strength and accuracy. Sir Grace himself is of course the strongest one among them, but he secretly calculated that he could barely fight against an archer under Levi's men. To win, if you deal with two at the same time, I am afraid you will taste the bitter fruit of failure.

Any family, as long as there are dozens of archers of this level, is something to be proud of.This is a terrifying force strong enough to guard the castle in front of an army of thousands of people, and it can make the family's base as indestructible as an iron barrel.

Li Wei's expression was calm. Even if he didn't have the ability to probe, the level of the archer could be deduced from the combat effectiveness of the pikemen.The demon slave riders just now looked quite scary, but in fact, in the display of the detection technique, they were just a group of ordinary enemies between level 2 and level 3, that's all.Compared with ordinary little devils, the overall combat power is not much higher, but at the edge of the forest, beyond the range of the bow and arrow, there are two quite powerful dark forces.

One of them has the unique dark fluctuations of the Great Demon, and his strength should be on the same level as the Burner and the Horned Demon Warlord, so there is nothing to worry about.But the other power is not so simple. The icy aura emanating from the black-armored knight formed a faint shield, isolating most of the detection capabilities.

"Sir Grace, look, the guy on the horse is a bit strange, doesn't he look like an ordinary demon?" Levi pointed his hand towards the edge of the forest.Sir Grace looked in that direction and frowned tightly.

"It's not so much a demon, it's better to say it's a demonized knight." An unfamiliar voice came from under the watchtower. Levi looked back and saw a gray-haired Chinese The middle-aged man, dragging his handicapped left leg, struggled to climb up the narrow wooden ladder.

"My name is Donna, and I am willing to serve you, Master Li Wei." As if seeing the question in Li Wei's eyes, the middle-aged man bowed deeply and made a brief self-introduction.

"Donald, oh, I know you." Sir Grace's eyes flickered, "You used to be a very famous adventurer, and you were also nicknamed the Roaring Bear, but it seems that you were injured and withdrew. Join the ranks of adventurers."

"Yes, Master Grace, it's because of my leg." A trace of sadness appeared on Donna's face. He rolled up the trouser leg of his handicapped leg, revealing a huge blood-red scar with muscles surrounding the scar. Tangled together, exceptionally terrifying.

Li Wei's gaze stayed on the scar for a moment. The scar looked old, and it was obvious that it hadn't been treated in time, which made it difficult to move the whole leg.Li Wei had seen this kind of scars in the Viscount's castle, and heard about what kind of force caused them.

Fighting qi, and at least the level of fighting qi scattered, can cause this kind of scar. General treatment methods have no effect on the injuries caused by fighting qi, and only powerful enough magic can heal.

"Below just now, thanks to the help of Master Levi and Grace, Brother Warren and I were able to survive. This kindness, I, Donna, will never repay it." Donner's voice was a little deep, and he couldn't tell it at all. The prestige of beheading three demon slave riders outside the camp just now came.

"This is not worth mentioning." Li Wei waved his hand and said, "As the leader of the camp, I am obliged to save every villager. By the way, Mr. Donner, what is the demonized knight you mentioned just now?"

The muscles on Tang Na's face twitched, and he looked at the scar on his leg and said, "Mr. Li Wei, you should know that disasters happen almost every ten years, and this scar was the last time a disaster happened. , left to me by a demonized knight."

The last time a catastrophe came... Li Wei's eyes blurred for a moment. The last time a catastrophe happened was ten years ago. At that time, Li Wei was still a five-year-old kid. Only a few fragments remained in his memory: the village was destroyed , the house was burning; the little devils chased after him screaming, the father turned his head to resist, and never came back; then the mother was also injured... If it wasn't for that time, Knight Ston led the soldiers to arrive, Levi is sure to be food for little devils.

"Demonized people, some people call them demon slaves, are a group of human beings who are willing to fall and are distorted by demons using terrible power. These monsters have lost their feelings as humans, become infinitely powerful, and have no pain. If one of them already possesses the power of fighting qi seeds, then it is a demonized knight." Tang Na said slowly, with a grim expression on his face.

Grace snorted suddenly, pointed to the edge of the forest and said, "Mr. Levi, the enemy has increased their troops."

Li Wei collected himself, supported the wooden parapet of the watchtower, and looked in the direction of the forest.

Indeed, at the edge of the forest, the number of wandering black monsters has nearly tripled, reaching nearly a hundred. The demon slave rider riding on the monster's back seems to have been re-inspired courage, and let out a hyena-like roar. There was a strange cry, while raising the spear and throwing gun in his hand, shaking his head like a demonstration.

Their leader, the black-armored knight rode away from the edge of the forest and walked towards the refugee camp. On the head of the black-armored knight, the Winged Demon Pruk spread his wings like a huge horseless horse. Flying into the sky like a bat, chanting vaguely evil spells.

"All archers, prepare to shoot!"

Sir Grace let out a loud roar, then stretched out the silver fir longbow in his hand, and pointed the sharp arrow at the winged figure in the air.As long as the opponent dares to approach within 200 meters, the sniper archer Grace will show his power as the camp's top marksman.
