Chapter 73 Expelling Thieves and Swallowing Ghosts
Standing on the guard post on the huge rock and looking at the beauties waiting at the entrance and exit in front, Lu Chen was a little worried that he had done the scroll right with them. His eagerness to try really made him feel worried, but the soldiers looked more reliable.
"Don't worry, these girls are just a little excited. After all, they just got a step further. It's okay. And haven't you said that the undead group is made up of skeletons? As long as the number is not too large, there will be no big problems." Seeing Lu Chen a little worried about everyone's appearance, the people around him spoke to comfort him, but the voice was not Verona's, but Sejil who was supported by her as the leader of the group.
After what happened before, Verona was really embarrassed to stand beside Lu Chen again, so she irresponsibly handed over the command task to Sejil on the excuse of trying her current strength, and she got on the front line to avoid the embarrassment of the two of them. Of course, this kind of thing that killed a lot of people on the field and vented her emotions was not the first time she did, so it did not cause anyone's doubts.
"Yeah~" Lu Chen nodded, saying that he had nothing to do.
"...You really plan to watch here?" Sejil couldn't help it, and after saying that, he turned his eyes away from Sharon beside Lu Chen.
Lu Chen understood that she cared about herself and the girl around her who refused to obey. In fact, he wanted to hide in the carriage and practice now, but he decided on the combat plan. He couldn't let go of this heart without seeing success with his own eyes. What worried him the most was the girls who implemented the plan.
However, unlike ordinary people's cultivation methods, they don't have many choices. If you don't start, just hurry up. When the battle is fierce, let alone practice, you probably won't even be able to calm down.
"Haha, don't worry, don't worry about us, just watch for a while and leave. And with this girl here, don't be too weaker than you, she will definitely not be too bad for you if you want to deal with ordinary thieves. Isn't it?" I didn't want to go against other people's kindness, Lu Chen could only deal with it like this and used Sharon as a shield.
When she heard Lu Chen's last question asking about herself, Sharon nodded quickly. Until now, her trust in Lu Chen was almost blind, because she knew that this super weak man who could not see any power was actually stronger than anyone she had ever seen. She killed the five-star strong man with one sword, easily smashed the powerful bows built by the dwarf, and there were a large number of five- and six-star scrolls in the space ring, and there were also no monsters when they were escaping in the forest before. Now, it seems that those monsters were hiding after sensing his power. Too powerful, she really couldn't think of anything safer than being by his side.
Of course, Sharon would not tell anyone about these things, even if he buried her with gold coins, he would not say them, because this is a little secret that only belongs to her and Lu Chen.
Sejill wanted to say something, but when she saw that the thieves had entered the attack distance, she could only ignore it. Moreover, when she understood that Lu Chen was worried about his cruel plan, she could only see the thief and the undead fighting, and believed that he would take Sharon back to the carriage with him.
———————————————————————————
Through the Elemental Eye, the black-robed mage saw the response in the valley from afar and found that they did not plan to attack the thieves as expected. Although they were a little surprised, they didn't care too much.
The thief's resoluteness means that the other party discovered his undead group, that is, he planned to join forces with the thief to save his life.
Seeing that the distance was almost the same, the black-robed mage issued a full-strength attack order to the skeletons in the back team. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos when those people let the thieves enter the valley and control the entrance and exit.
——————————————————————————
The wilderness outside the woods was without any danger, and the thieves ran towards the valley without any choice. The "evil ghosts" of the red thorn flowers were at least humans, and the semi-encirclement formation of the undead behind them made them unable to escape in other directions.
When the soldiers in the valley and entrances appeared in their eyes, the thieves running in the front began to hesitate, but the miserable wails behind suddenly became more and more. Obviously, the skeletons were speeding up to catch up, as if they were afraid that they would escape into the valley.
The fear of being ruthlessly shot was suddenly overwhelmed by the fear behind him. Except for some people who were originally running in the front who deliberately slowed down one step, other thieves who had not seen the situation in the valley clearly launched the final sprint desperately.
The imagined rain of arrows did not come. When the bonfire on the towering rocks made the members of the red thorn flower who were terrified of the heroic posture of the Valkyrie, the thieves felt a sense of joy in their hearts of the disaster, and rushed to the entrance of the valley even more crazily, as if it was the gate to heaven. The mercenaries guarding the entrances and exits also became beautiful angels who guided them to paradise and wiped out the undead for them.
Because everyone knows that there is no chance of luck at this time. Without the first wave of arrows, there will naturally be no second wave. The people in the valley obviously discovered the undead group and planned to join them to overcome this difficulty.
However, the facts are completely different. When the thieves cheered for their impending rescue, they saw a figure on the boulder running quickly to the beautiful angel, snatch something from one of them, and threw it down without stopping.
Immediately afterwards, a fire wall suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes, desperately sealing the entrance and exit of the valley.
As the fire wall rose, more things were thrown off from above one by one, not only blocking the gate of heaven, but also leaving no gaps on the left and right. The only hope was the rear of the undead group...
The entire open space in front of the valley instantly became a purgatory-like death arena.
—————————————————————————————
Looking at the desperate thieves more than ten meters away, Lu Chen was very glad that he was here to hold the formation. The girls who were left on the guard post were relatively weak in the group and did not join for too long. They hesitated when Sejill issued the order. Fortunately, he had predicted the bloody situation that only happened in this movie.
Turning his head and looking at Sejil who was a little ashamed to him, Lu Chen sighed and said, "Don't blame yourself, this is normal, it means that everyone is still human... I just hope that when everyone is sympathizing with those thieves, no, it is all other hostile lives, think about it first, if you don't do something like today, then what will your companions around you suffer."
Sejil knew that Lu Chen was not to him, but found that he, the deputy commander, had nothing to say to him.
After looking at the other girls again, Lu Chen finally pursed his lips and left. There was nothing he had done here, and it was enough to say that he didn't want to blame them. Moreover, if he really wanted to say it, he lacked compassion as a visitor on earth. If these girls were like him, they might not want to help them.
But Lu Chen, who was helpless in his heart, did not notice that in addition to shame, the girls looked at him, there was a little more respect for him, a junior.
The girls all knew that he was right, and the sentence "Everyone is still human" made people feel extremely vicissitudes, making the girls feel that he seems to have a special past, and they inevitably feel a sense of caring for him, the junior.
When he returned to the carriage, the absent-minded Lu Chen realized that Sharon looked at him with worry. He pinched her face in a doting manner, saying that he had nothing to do, and told her that he was going to practice again and asked her to help him watch and not disturb him. As a result, her worries turned into fear.
Finally, after a series of comforting work such as guaranteeing oaths, Lu Chen was able to enter a state of meditation.
—————————————————————————————
Without a way out, the human survival instinct was completely aroused. When some people tried to cross the fire wall and were burned to charcoal, the thieves drew their weapons and turned around to launch a desperate attack on the skeleton group.
As for the thief leaders with certain strength, they did not escape over the fire wall, but they were not reluctant to leave their subordinates, but they knew very well that following the crowd was the safest in this situation, because no one knew what was waiting for them in the dark.
At the same time, something that made the thieves both hated and happy happened. Fire arrows flew into the undead group from the valley, accompanied by magic attacks. However, it was not a way for them, but it was simply reducing the number of undeads. Each one aimed at a large group of undead piles.
This was also arranged by Lu Chen. Anyway, these thieves will die sooner or later in the hands of the undead, so it is better to use the scroll to cooperate with them so that they can get rid of more undeads. Although it is very ruthless, it is the most beneficial method for everyone at this moment. It is still a bit troublesome to use it. It requires two people to cooperate. One releases the scroll and the other shoots the arrows tied to the scroll. If the time is not good, it will launch magic above the undead group too early.
At this moment, the thieves' leaders suddenly realized that this time they were sandwiched between the two forces and were repeatedly used in a miserable way, but now they have no power to turn the world. Looking at the undead group that is beyond their reach, the leaders made the most helpless decision after a brief exchange and organized the thieves to retreat to the range of the firewall.
No matter how shameless or vicious the people in the valley are, at least they will still use the scroll to hit the undead. As long as the undead is lured and blocked within their attack range, they can greatly reduce the pressure and maybe they can persist until the firewall is extinguished.
—————————————————————————————
The summer night is particularly short, and it has been nearly two hours since the pursuit in the middle of the night. At about this time, it will be dawn.
The corners of his eyes twitched and looked at the scene of the battlefield feedback brought by the Elemental Eye, and the fire wall was surrounding. The more he fought, he became more and more brave, and he resisted the attack. The magic scrolls that kept blooming in the pile of skeletons, the black-robed mage could no longer sit still.
He never expected that the thief he left behind would be ruthlessly used by the other party. He even had a little doubt that there was a crazy necromancer among the other party. The skeletons who had received the last order were not directly controlled, had already formed a dense storm-shaped formation in pursuit, just like queuing up suicide, turning into broken bones. What made him most troubled was that he had no time to grind. If he didn't end all this before dawn, he would have to give up these rare materials. Otherwise, if someone passed by and spread the story of the undead here, he would have to move again.
Lord Litt could not see this specific battlefield scene, but standing on the tree canopy, he also saw that the war was not good. Moreover, the flames that reflected the red sky and the skeletons that were thrown away from time to time were obviously all the magical effects, but he had clearly investigated that none of those people were magicians.
"Is it a magic scroll? Then what kind of identity is needed to have so many scrolls... Even the prince of the kingdom cannot have so many..." The Lord of Litt realized that he had met someone he shouldn't have messed with this time, but he thought that all the powerful people in the kingdom just didn't remember who could have such a trick.
Suddenly he saw the black-robed mage stand up and emit stronger dark elements, as if he was ready to use more terrifying power.
"Master, wait, I think I'd better forget it this time. Even if the loss today is on my head, how about finding an opportunity to catch these materials in the future?"
"Oh? Haha, the city lord is scared? Don't worry, it's just a few tattered scrolls, there is no mage among them. Or are you afraid that I can't stop hurting your son, or that little boy's identity makes you afraid?" The black-robed mage said playfully.
"Haha, the master is indeed a master. I am indeed a little worried about the identity of that boy. If I had known that he had so many scrolls, I would not have troubled the master. It was me who neglected." He flattered him first, and then Litt admitted it readily, and he would not lose anything to him anyway.
"Okay, you need to say nothing. I promise that your son will not have any trouble. I will settle these materials. If you are afraid of exposure, don't follow us." After that, the black-robed mage summoned a riding beast with only a skeleton and rushed to the battlefield.
Lord Litt struggled for a while but gave up on the idea of following up. As for the safety of his son Malcolm, he was not worried at all. There were two six-stars out of the eight people, and the rest were all five-star intermediate or above, which was the strongest combination among his personal guards.
