Chapter 23: Attacked
"Huh-huh! Wait! There seems to be movement from behind, and the monster seems to have stopped!"
A panting male human being out of breath He said breathlessly.
He was wearing better cloth, not the linen clothes of the poor. It can be seen that he may have lived a decent life, but after several days of fleeing, he had long lost his reserve. Now his clothes It was so dirty that it was almost impossible to see its original appearance, with dust and mud everywhere.
The other two people traveling with him were similar. After hearing this, they slowly stopped.
It was no longer possible to stop. The chase had lasted for nearly half an hour. They were relatively wealthy in the city and had not experienced such strenuous exercise for who knows how long. They could no longer run.
"Ha-ah-ha-ah, really, really?"
The two people at the front were breathing heavily and holding their abdomen with their hands, their heartbeats were beating fast After jumping out, they would definitely tire themselves out if they continued running, so they turned their heads and looked back with the last glimmer of hope.
"Tyr's arm! It seems like someone killed those monsters!"
Because the battle ended too quickly, they only saw the steel monster slowly stopping, and The violent sound of weapons clashing just now, and the high-pitched war cry.
"No, it can't be, it can't be the devil's conspiracy. This place is deserted, where can we help?"
One person asked tiredly and hesitantly, and the other person immediately retorted.
"No - Hardy, we can survive until now entirely because these monsters are playing tricks on us, Trank, Nora, and just now Cundiff, they were immediately killed as soon as they broke away from the large group. The spear hit. "
Huh - he took a deep breath, calmed down and continued.
“They drove us away like animals. Although they don’t want to admit it, they are fully capable of killing us all. There is no need to play such tricks.”
Rufus said these words feebly. Hardy didn't say much when he heard this. The desire for life flashed in his eyes, but Farr suddenly argued emotionally.
"Are you kidding? Rufus! You just said that these guys are completely inhumane! Maybe they did it on purpose!"
"There's nothing we can do about it! We can’t run anymore! It makes no difference!”
Rufus yelled out of control! Slap Far's rebuttal back!
But then he forced himself to put away his anger and calmly spoke to the other two.
"Ha--let's go back and take a look. We are too far into the forest now and have lost our way. If we continue to move forward, we will die."
"We can only gamble on the future."
Hardy was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then he turned to Farr and said.
"Rufus is right, Farr, we must go back."
Originally, there were more than 50 people in their team. After escaping from the fallen area, it took another full day to reach the main fortress of the Dawn.
The total number of refugees at that time was four to five thousand.
The main fortress of Dawn was unable to support so many people, so the refugees were divided into several groups and fled in different directions in the past few days.
Most of the people in their team had some connections in Baldur's Gate, so they went to Baldur's Gate together.
Originally everything was fine, but just as they were approaching the forest, three hell chariots suddenly came out from behind and directly knocked their team of more than 50 people apart. Suddenly, the incident happened. Everyone was scattered into several groups like a frightened flock of sheep.
They were the largest group, with more than 20 people. Originally there were several professionals in the team who followed them, and they even thought about organizing a resistance, but they were soon either killed or captured. , only ordinary people like them are left.
Several people froze on the spot and panted violently. While recovering their strength, they paid attention to the movement behind them. During this period of time, the chariot never came close, and even the continuous wailing sound was somewhat reduced.
"Perhaps, someone really saved us?"
Hardy said optimistically to the other two, while Rufus responded coldly.
“Don’t think about it, we’ve almost rested, let’s prepare to face our fate.”
Gudong, the remaining two swallowed when they heard this, but then they were determined He got up and followed Rufus with a tired pace, walking towards the stagnant steel creation from hell.
They cautiously approached to a certain distance. "It won't deform automatically, bad review."
Then there was the sound of steel falling to the ground, and this sentence directly aroused these people's desire for life, because the man said is a very standard lingua franca.
Although those monsters can also speak Common Language, their words have an inexplicable accent and are very easy to identify.
“It’s actually true... Oh! God of Justice, Tyr, bless you!”
"Let's go up and have a look!"
This steel chariot is five to six meters high and more than ten meters long. They can't see the situation above at all from below. The overly excited people immediately started to prepare to climb up. Look at their savior.
There are also their relatives. Their relatives are now locked in this steel coffin, and they must go up.
Finally, they found a relatively flat place where the steel was made into steps that could be climbed up with bare hands.
Far excitedly climbed up first, and he said as he climbed back.
"Oh, Tyr! Bless Helm! Thank you so much! Friend! Thank you, thank you so much! Without you, we really don't know - ah!!! Demon!!"
法Er's voice frightened the two people following him. Their bodies shook so much that they almost lost their grip on the escalator and fell down.
“No, I am a tiefling, a flying boy from Eltoril, a childlike and innocent flight experiencer, the most affordable performer in the outer city, ten copper coins at a time, and weighing more than 150 Have you ever heard of the one who doubled the price?”
“Ah—ah?”
Nohir lifted the man up and put him on the chariot. on the deck, and then said to the two people below.
"Come up, you should be able to see that I am not one of those hellish creatures."
"...Indeed not."
Rufus grabbed Nohir's stretched out arm. Hill pulled them aboard.
Hardy: "Farr! Damn it, you almost scared me to the point of peeing!"
Farr: "This, you can't blame me!"
Rufus: "Okay, you two, stop talking nonsense! - Thank you, this, uh, tiefling, thank you for saving our lives, and those of our relatives."
" Just call me Nohill, are there any of your relatives in this car?”
“Yes, that’s right, thank you very much, Mr. Nohill!”
"Don't worry, I am also from Eltoril. Although I have only lived there for less than half a year, what I said before was not a joke."
Nohir waved his hand in a friendly manner, Then he motioned to them to wait.
"Wait a minute, I will rescue the people in this car right away."
Nohill picked up a hell cutter, walked to the trap door at the stern, and hooked the long-handled knife on it The hoop was lifted.
Then four iron ropes with chain hooks suddenly shot out from the warehouse. Two iron ropes were directed towards Nohir's eyes, and the other two were aimed at his wings.
This change happened too fast, and Nohir was in a period of weakness after the violent end. At this critical moment, his spirit of always being highly alert immediately thought of a countermeasure.
He gave up blocking the iron chains with his hands and instead used his wings to intercept them. The four iron hooks severely hooked his fleshy wings, but the wide wings completely blocked these attacks. Nohill Holding back the severe pain, he pushed hard.
His field of vision was completely opened, and the dim warehouse was like daylight in Nohir's eyes. He saw the thing that attacked him.
A chain demon!
