Several friends of the young nobleman gathered around the headless corpse. They looked around in panic, fearing that the murderer would burst out of the fog again to kill.
The strong man reached out and picked up the noble boy's head, placed it next to the headless body, closed his eyelids with his hands, and then said to everyone: "We have encountered enemies we have never seen before, and they are hiding in the mist.
It goes like the wind, so please try not to scatter. Only by uniting together can we get out of this oak forest without getting hurt."
If someone is willing to stand up, there will naturally be followers.
After the strong man stood up from the ground, someone in the crowd shouted: "Knight Holman, we will listen to you no matter what you say."
Karl spread his hands helplessly and gave Suldak a wry smile.
Obviously everyone does not approve of him, but since someone is willing to stand up and take the lead, he is happy and relaxed.
Knight Holman slapped the heavy sword in his hand on his trousers rhythmically, making a clicking sound, and shouted to the crowd: "I need some help now, I hope you can stand up bravely, Green Empire warriors"
Departure..."
He looked high-spirited, standing in the mist, looking at every young noble in the crowd very seriously.
Some young nobles showed fearful expressions on their faces and involuntarily retreated back, but some young nobles also took the initiative to stand up.
Darcy Christie also wanted to walk out of the crowd, but was stopped by the manor guards. Under the persuasion of the guards, Darcy Christie stayed in the crowd. Instead, the manor guards joined in uniformly. Carl, Llewellyn
and Surdak also responded one after another and joined the ranks of the brave.
Since everyone was out hunting, their weapons and equipment were very complete, and no one was prepared.
It was just that Swordsman Leonard in the crowd looked a little ugly. He tried to get out of the crowd, but Miss Fanny grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Are you crazy?"
Leonard's face looked a little ugly. He hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped and did not continue walking out. He held one hand tightly on the hilt of the sword.
Except for Leonard Swordsman, Tax Collector Byrd also failed to stand up this time. He is the civilian tax collector of Helensa City Hall. He has almost nothing except a big belly.
The Western rapier was more like an ornament. When Miss Hoyle looked at Tax Collector Byrd, there was a trace of disdain in her eyes.
Knight Holman saw so many people standing up and shouted to everyone: "Very good, everyone, take up your weapons, gather the women and those who cannot fight in the center, and let's move towards the lakeside manor together."
Then he said to the friend of the young nobleman who had his head cut off: "We have to leave him here. The fog will clear tomorrow day, and then return to the oak forest to pick him up. No one knows how many terrible enemies are hidden in the fog."
, we can’t waste manpower carrying him away now.”
Although several young nobles were somewhat reluctant, looking around, they were afraid that no one would be willing to help them carry away the bodies of their companions, so they could only continue to move forward with the others.
Knight Holman was walking at the front of the team with his sword in hand. He turned back and shouted to the crowd: "Has anyone prepared a torch? The torch can dispel some of the cold fog and prevent dangerous things from approaching..."
The captain of the guard of Christie Manor took out a piece of pine tarpaulin from his magic waist bag, cut off an arm-thick horizontal branch from an oak tree, and made five torches in three strokes. After the torches were lit, they could only illuminate
Within a range of three meters in diameter, even the firelight could not be seen further away, and the fog became even bigger.
Everyone stood close together, and the outermost circle were warriors with weapons in their hands. Everyone gave up their horses and walked towards Ice Lake Manor.
The oak forest shrouded in fog seemed darker. In addition to the footsteps in the forest, there was also a very dull cracking sound, as if something was breaking out of the ground. The sickle appeared twice more in the thick fog.
, but was discovered in advance by everyone who was prepared.
Though two young men’s arms were scratched by the scythe, no one was killed by the scythe.
The light of the torch can reveal the approaching scythe in advance, and everyone discovers that they are actually two ghosts wandering in the oak forest. They have white outlines and translucent bodies. They can hide in the mist and come and go quietly.
When the sound is flying, when it is close to the torch, the originally virtual outline will become a solid one.
"It's two undead ghosts..." Karl stared at a white figure that retreated into the mist, turned his head and whispered to Suldak.
Just when Karl turned his head, Surdak felt the fog behind Karl rolling violently, and a sharp ax broke through the fog and struck Karl's left shoulder.
Karl was caught off guard, feeling Suldak's eyes and the fierce wind behind him. He had no time to dodge, so he could only fall diagonally to the right, trying to avoid the sharp axe, and saw that the ax was about to hit Karl.
On the shoulder guard, the Craftsman's Sword in Surdak's hand held the ax blade, making a loud "clang" sound, and a strong counterattack force almost knocked out the Craftsman's Sword in Surdak's hand.
The sword flew away and Suldak took half a step back.
The hand holding the sword was numb from the shock of the axe. Surdak saw a skeleton striding out of the mist. The ax in his hand was blocked by Surdak, but he did not stop and kicked him.
Facing Karl who fell to the ground, Karl turned around and blocked the skeleton's bony feet with his sword. The huge power of the skeleton knocked the long sword out of Karl's hand. Karl took advantage of this opportunity to dodge the skeleton's kick in embarrassment.
.
Baron Llewellyn next to him slashed the skeleton's forearm with his sword. The long sword made a clicking sound, like hitting a hollow tree trunk, leaving shallow marks on the gray-white arm bones of the skeleton.

This skeleton is still covered with some frozen soil, and its skeleton is even somewhat incomplete. He is holding a sharp ax in his hand. The ax head is rusty, and the ax handle is a piece of white bone that is about to rot. The skeleton is surrounded by
Exuding a strong aura of death, there are two faint blue flames hidden in the eye sockets of the skull. These two flames are the soul fire of undead creatures and the source of their power.
This skeleton emerging from the mist looked at Baron Llewellyn, so frightened that Baron Llewellyn almost dropped the sword in his hand.
Fortunately, Surdak had recovered by this time. He held the dwarf chain shield in his hand and adjusted his pace. The thick shield hit the skeleton's skeleton hard, and the gray-white skeleton suddenly made a crackling sound.
The skeleton was staggered by Suldak's 'shield attack'. Karl took the opportunity to stand up from the ground and stabbed the long sword in his hand into the skeleton's left eye socket.
The skeleton's whole body was twitching continuously, and the soul fire in the right eye socket was staring at Karl. The sharp ax in his hand slashed at Karl, but was blocked again by the shield in Suldak's hand. The long swords of Karl and Llewelyn were almost
At the same time, it pierced the right eye socket of the skeleton, piercing the trace of soul fire. Suddenly the gray bones of the skeleton were scattered on the ground, and the heavy ax also fell heavily to the ground, and the death energy all over the body instantly floated in the air.
Knight Holman ran over with a long sword, staring at the broken bones on the ground with an ugly face, and said: "They are skeleton soldiers of the undead tribe. How can there be undead here?"
The rest of the people didn't know how to answer. The guard captain of Christie Manor said: "This place has never been invaded by the undead."
Surdak encountered the skeleton soldiers of the Undead for the first time. He was a little curious about the skeleton, so he squatted down to check the broken bones on the ground, and picked up a thigh bone. He found hand-painted runes on the bones.
Surdak doubtfully picked up the leg bone in his hand and asked doubtfully: "Do the skeletons of the undead also have magic patterns on them?"
The Holman knight came over, took the broken bone from Suldak's hand, took a look at it and said: "In my opinion, this is not the skeleton of the undead at all, this is the skeleton summoned by the necromancer.
Necromancers master necromancy magic, and they can summon powerful undead creatures. Only undead creatures that have signed a contract with necromancers will have this kind of magic mark on their bodies."
The team did not stop because of this, and everyone kept walking towards the ice lake.
“So, the one who attacked us should be a necromancer?” Llewellyn asked with lingering fear.
“Perhaps there is a Necromancer among the group of people who attacked us!” Karl said. He did not think that the person who created the ice mist was just a Necromancer.
Knight Holden did not answer the question, but turned to Surdak and asked: "You just came back from the battlefield?"
Suldak glanced at Holden Knight and saw a hint of admiration on his rough face, and said:
“Moyun Ridge in Handanar County.”
That was a battle that no one was willing to mention. Probably no one except the Bena people would know about it, but it was a painful lesson for the people of Halanza. It represented the army of Halanza City in that battle.
A large number of soldiers were lost in the battle, especially the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment, which was almost completely wiped out.
Therefore, when Suldak said this, Knight Holden looked enlightened. He nodded, looked at Suldak and said, "I have also heard about that battle, where Marquis Solomon Bowen suffered a defeat.
You are able to come back alive because you are blessed by the goddess of luck. My name is Holden. If you have a chance, we can sit down and chat together."
Holden Knight didn’t say much. Seeing that the situation here had stabilized, he walked back to the front of the team to clear the way.
After this sneak attack by the undead skeletons, Karl no longer dared to chat carelessly in the team, and handed his back to Surdak.
At this time, Suldak noticed that although Miss Fannie in the crowd was wrapped in a thick cloak, her body still seemed to be shaking constantly.
Leonard's face next to her also became more ugly. His eyes kept looking around, obviously afraid that something would suddenly appear. His panic expression was definitely not what an intermediate swordsman should have.
Look.
Immediately afterwards, skeletons continued to crawl out of the frozen soil. Although they did not come and go as freely as ghosts, they had a fierce offensive. They did not feel any pain on their bodies. As long as the soul fire in their eye sockets did not go out, even the bones in their bodies would
Although he was shattered, he could still struggle to stand up from the broken bones, and the death energy in his body could quickly connect the gray bones together.
Moreover, more and more of these skeletons emerged from the frozen soil. In addition to the first one being quickly eliminated, several more skeletons followed and surrounded them from all directions, immediately overwhelming the defense line outside the crowd.
Baluo, these young nobles had no fighting experience at all. The shields in their hands could not withstand the sharp axes in the hands of the skeletons, and they were unable to deal with the skeletons immediately. A melee broke out in an instant.
There are two ghosts lurking in the fog, waiting for opportunities. The appearance of the sickle means someone is injured.
Only Suldak, Karl, and Baron Llewellyn cooperated tacitly. Suldak held the dwarf chain shield in front of him. The sharp ax of the undead skeleton could not break his iron shield, and they did not have much wisdom.
The undead creatures did not know how to adapt at all, and the three people's tacit cooperation allowed them to kill three skeletons one after another.
Others were in a panic and had no strength to fight against the skeleton. Holden Knight could only go around putting out the fire.
Along the way, the manor guards suffered the heaviest losses. Due to the mission they shouldered, they almost did not hesitate to stand at the outermost edge of the team to welcome the first round of attacks from skeletons and ghosts. At this time, seven guards had been injured one after another.
, one of the collarbones at the shoulder was severed by the ghost sickle.
At this time, Darcy Christie also joined the battle with a sword, bringing Darcy Christie into the battle. The manor guards could only get close to Darcy and protect her sides and back to prevent her from being attacked by ghosts, even if she was injured.
Nope either.
People were constantly injured along the way, and some even fought continuously without having time to bandage their wounds.
Surdak wanted to help the injured warrior treat his wounds. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the shining saber in the magic waist bag. Although the craftsman's sword was more handy in fighting, he wanted to keep more of the holy light for himself.
With such power, Surdak suddenly put the Craftsman's Sword into its scabbard. Under Karl's surprised look, he pulled out the shining saber from his magic belt bag.
When he held his hand on the handle of the knife, an inexplicable suction force sucked the sacred breath flowing in his body into the blade. Instantly, the blade lit up with a faint light, looking like a light in the mist.
torch.
He ran towards a young nobleman who was covered in blood. The young nobleman's forearm was cut off by the skeleton's sharp axe, and two wounds were opened on his body by the sharp axe. The two companions around him were forced back by the skeleton.
He was about to decapitate him with an axe. Fortunately, Surdak arrived in time, and the shining saber pierced the skull's eye socket. Before Surdak could pierce another soul fire,
The shining saber seemed to have an invisible suction force, instantly sucking two points of soul fire into the blade, and the entire skeleton immediately turned into a pile of broken bones and scattered on the ground.
The young nobleman who survived the desperate situation was stunned by Surdak's sword. Seeing the shining saber in Surdak's hand stabbing him, he didn't even know how to dodge.
The shining saber was pressed against the young noble, and a soft holy light was injected into the young noble's body...
