Chapter 114 Enemies meet on a narrow road
According to Kevin, the information he got from the necromancer was this--the necromancer was a subordinate of the vampire count Manfred, and the vampire count was carrying out a terrible and evil mission. That is to resurrect the rumored notorious necromancer, the creator of all undead creatures, the most powerful necromancer... Nagash.
The corpses he collected were to prepare the undead army for Nagash after his resurrection.
Not only that, Kevin also received a horrifying news from the necromancer. This time, Nagash was not just planning to resurrect, he even tried to use this resurrection to make himself the object of death. god! For this reason, Manfred even kidnapped the princess from the high elves, as well as the archbishop of the Temple of Sigmar and others, trying to use their blood, magic and souls to successfully ascend Nagash to god!
"We have to stop this!"
Standing next to Duanmu Huai, Kevin looked at the mercenaries in front of him with a serious face.
"If we can't prevent Nagash from being resurrected and 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. Maybe to other people, Kevin's words were no problem, but Duanmu Huai obviously didn't see it that way.
If Kevin is really the emperor, then of course he cannot come here to take risks out of boredom - this is the job of adventurers, not the job of emperors. So Duanmuhuai guessed that the reason why Kevin acted like this was probably because he had heard some kind of news - for example, he learned about an ancient, evil plan, and this plan is related to the one who is currently raging here and attracting corpses. There were rumors about it, so he pretended to be a noble and brought mercenaries to investigate from here.
On the other hand, even if the news of Nagash's resurrection is true, maybe it is part of a larger 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 spray him to death with a mouthful of old blood. In fact, 90% of the reason why Manfred's resurrection plan went so poorly was Duanmuhuai's fault.
First, Duanmuhuai followed the instructions of the Lady of the Lake and recovered the staff in the monastery and the crown of witchcraft in the ruins of Todheim, making Manfred's trip almost in vain, especially in Todheim. Because Manfred is up to no good With Mu Huai's ability to penetrate subspace, he also led his undead army to fight the Chaos Warriors with real swords and guns, and the result was a tragic victory. When Manfred entered the treasure house, the Sorcery Guan had already been taken away 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 fault, he planned to rob the warpstone that the empire took away from Mordheim, but was scolded again by Duanmu Huai In the defeat, not only did they not get the dimension stone, but Duanmu Huai also took away the other tool used to resurrect Nagash, the Corrupted Blade. It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his troops.
Of course, Duanmu Huai doesn't know about this. If he doesn't know, it means it didn't happen and it has nothing to do with him.
In the end, other mercenaries also agreed to continue to act with Kevin to thwart the vampire count'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 plan is mainly to rescue the captives. I heard that there are also princesses of high elves and the archbishop of Sigmar. If you can establish a relationship with these people, then there will definitely be generous rewards.
Wealth, fame, and status are all at your fingertips!
To talk about danger, it is naturally dangerous, because the place they are going to next is none other than Manfred's lair, the land where the undead are rampant - Sylvania.
But for mercenaries, is this a big deal?
Who would become a mercenary if they were afraid of danger? Go home and farm.
So, after that, the group of people continued to set off to Sylvania, the territory ruled by vampires.
"What a pity..."
Looking at the castle in the distance, Duanmuhuai sighed silently.
"What a pity? Mr. Knight? What a pity??"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's sigh, An blinked curiously, looked at him and asked.
"It's a pity that we are here to save people. If we were here to kill people, we would just blow them up..."
Duanmuhuai looked forward again and shrugged helplessly. The castle in the distance looks lonely and desolate, just like the old medieval spire castles in many vampire movies. There are dry, black and dead trees all around. Coupled with the crows and bats lingering in the distance, and adding BGM, it can be taken directly to the opening set of a horror movie.
If Duanmu Huai hadn't come to save people, to be honest, he could have simply launched a gunboat to carry out aerial carpet bombing, razing the entire castle to the ground and then deal with the rest.
But unfortunately...they are here 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 aren't you, Mr. Knight, very powerful? As soon as those ghosts saw you, they all ran away! It's so powerful!"
"...Stop talking."
Hearing An's words, Duanmuhuai suddenly looked gloomy. After entering Sylvania, the group of people also encountered attacks from ghosts and ghosts. As a result, Ogis suddenly suggested that Duanmuhuai could scare away these ghosts. From then on After that, Duanmu Huai had no choice but to continue moving forward without wearing a helmet - and to his displeasure, the group did not encounter any attacks from ghosts and ghosts after that, and arrived at their destination smoothly.
But this only made Duanmuhuai even more unhappy.
When this matter is settled later, he must educate Ogis on what to say and what not to say.
What does "the master's face have a miraculous effect on driving away ghosts" mean?
Is my face some kind of exorcism tool? !
Forget it, don't think about it now.
Duanmuhuai took back his thoughts and looked at Kevin. "Okay, what's the next plan? In other words, do we have other plans besides a frontal assault? Or is it the same as before? Divide the troops into two groups?"
“That’s all we can do at the moment.”
Kevin smiled wryly and nodded.
"If you can attract the other party's attention, we may be able to sneak in from behind, find the prisoners being held, and rescue them."
"Okay, let's do it like this. Just leave the main entrance to us. You can figure it out on your own."
Duanmu Huai didn't care. Basically, he cooperated with others, and his tactics were always the same - after all, with his size and conspicuousness, it was basically impossible to use other methods other than frontal penetration.
Maybe use a wooden box to play stealth?
But where can I find such a big wooden box?
After confirming the plan, Duanmuhuai took Ojis and An and strode towards the main entrance of the castle, while the others, led by Kevin, went around to the back of the castle. As for whether they planned to drill into the sewer or climb the wall, that is It's their business.
The gate of the entire castle was closed tightly. When Duanmuhuai arrived at the city gate, he soon saw the ground in front of him opening up, and then several skeleton guards with weapons in their hands crawled out of the ground. However, just when these skeleton guards raised their heads, they saw Duanmuhuai The moment they showed their ferocious faces, they let out a shrill scream, and then saw the soul flames in the skeleton guards' eyes suddenly extinguished, and they once again turned into a pile of broken bones and collapsed on the ground, gone. movement.
[You mentally intimidate the skeleton guards]
[The skeleton guards tried to resist mental deterrence...the resistance failed]
[Skeleton Guards are in a state of collapse]
【Death of Skeleton Guard】
…………MMP.
Duanmuhuai turned his eyes, no longer looking at the system prompts in front of him, and then looked at An next to him.
"Blow this door open for me!"
"Ah, oh!"
An, who was watching the show next to her, was stunned for a moment when she heard Duanmu Huai's words. Then she nodded hurriedly and stretched out her hand to aim at the door. Immediately afterwards, a huge fireball emerged from An's hand, flew forward, and hit the castle gate heavily.
"Boom!!"
The next moment, the gate of the castle was blown to pieces. Duanmuhuai held a war hammer in his hand and rushed into it with a cold expression, while Ojis and An followed closely behind.
The entire castle hall was in chaos, and not a single person could be seen. There was only a long table placed there with several cups on it, but there was no other food - for a vampire, there was no need for anything else. food.
"How barbaric."
A cold voice came from the balcony on the second floor. Duanmuhuai raised his head and looked around, only to see several figures hiding in the shadows on the balcony on the second floor.
"Who gave you the courage to come to this castle? Stupid and ignorant barbarians, what you have done is just to take you further on the road to death. Soon, you will understand that in the great world In the face of the power of death, you are simply..."
However, before the words were finished, the other party suddenly stopped. It looked at Duanmuhuai in surprise, and then suddenly took a step back.
"You, what kind of monster are you!"
"You are a monster when you step on a horse, okay!!"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai suddenly became furious. You are obviously the monster yourself, but you still dare to call me a monster?
"Die!!"
At this moment, Duanmu Huai was also angry from the heart to the courage. He roared, and the jetpack suddenly exploded, taking Duanmu Huai across the hall in an instant. I saw him holding the war hammer like this, facing the balcony on the second floor. The vampires on top smashed it down with all their strength! !
