The chirping of insects and the singing of cicadas were instantly replaced by a strange sound of flapping wings.
Puff puff puff...
A dense swarm of bats swarmed out like a dark cloud and surrounded the small team almost instantly.
The shiny black short shaggy hair, scarlet eyes, white fangs, and a body the size of a washbasin...these are not the common wild bats in the mountains and forests, but a group of vampire bats that have been transformed by evil witchcraft.
group.
Based on their qualifications, they cannot be called orthodox vampires. They are just some blood slaves and derivatives created by orthodox vampires.
Their combat power was used to deal with the two glorious knights and the three spell-breaking knights in front of them. They were undoubtedly vulnerable to a single blow. However, after the five knights got rid of their obstructive coarse cloth cloaks, they all gathered together back to back with nervous expressions on their faces.
, seems to be afraid of something.
In the deepest part of the distant forest, a tall figure wrapped in a bright red skirt was standing on a thick branch stretching horizontally, peering at the knight team through the gaps in the mottled leaves. And in front of her
Next to him, every branch of the tall ancient tree was hung upside down and filled with densely packed vampire bats.
Compared with the bats that went out to fight, the hundreds of vampire bats hanging all over the big tree were the bodyguards that Bloody Witch Mary really valued. They all had bodies as huge as calves, with gray fur,
A hairy, thin face with an anthropomorphic face.
They hang upside down on the branches, watching the surrounding mountains and forests vigilantly. From time to time, they open their mouths full of sharp teeth to emit high-frequency sound waves that are difficult for human ears to detect, maintaining close contact with the surrounding 'sentinels'.
However, beside Mary, there were eight humanoid vampires dressed as knights with bloody eyes and fangs. They were Mary's trump card for daring to hunt down the fleeing knights unscrupulously - the blood knights.
There are eight Blood Knights in total.
Among them, there are 3 blood knights with level 2 strength and 5 blood knights with level 1 strength.
Their predecessors were the Radiant Knights and the Spell-Breaking Knights who once ruled this plane.
However, after Mary's first embrace as a vampire and the dual control of witchcraft, they have already lost their true nature and become the first generation vampires who only follow Mary's lead. However, as a result, their own intelligence will also be significantly weakened compared to before, and before reincarnation
Most of his combat skills will also be forgotten.
Therefore, the second-level blood knight has a strong body and powerful blood-sucking regeneration ability, but can only exert the combat power of the first-level elite wizard level. This is especially regrettable for Mary!
As for the first-level blood knights, they are just vampires with wizard-level strength.
The first group of vampire bats to attack was like a pack of wolves surrounding a flock of sheep, making a piercing howl while weaving in and out of the leafy dense forest. More than 600 bats gathered in the dense forest less than a hundred meters away.
Just use your body to cover this place tightly.
What's even more strange is that with such a high biological density, they pass one by one without any collision. This makes their flying skills even more admirable!
After living on the run for half a year and hiding, this group of demon-hunting knights have long lost their previous strength. And without the support of the Knight Kingdom, they no longer have magic horses to travel for them, and they no longer have magic crystals to support them. They have no enough to eat and no clothes to wear.
Warmth, poor sleep... This caused their combat effectiveness to suffer a serious decline.
Without the magic horse, they can only rely on their legs to trek through mountains and rivers; without the magic crystal, their rune swords become fire sticks, and they can no longer stimulate the hot elemental flames. If they want to activate the semi-long-range energy blade, they can also
You can only rely on your own energy reserves.
This obviously cannot last!
But even so, when the rune sword is held in their hands, the dazzling energy fluorescence begins to roll in their bodies, and the combat power displayed by this group of high-level knights is still so violent and fierce, unrivaled!
Energy blades shot out one after another, destroying everything everywhere and making it impossible to resist.
Whether it was a tall tree hugged by a person, or a branch as thick as an arm, or the shiny black leather-like body of a vampire bat, they were all split into two by the violent swing of the sword, and then exploded into a sky full of vegetation.
Debris and smelly purple blood.
The five-man team were obviously experienced people. They used their energy swords to clear the way while quickly moving through the forest, looking like they were determined to break through.
And the numerous vampire bats obviously had nothing to do with them.
After they transform into bats, they are unarmored or lightly armored targets after all. It is simply a dream to rely on their weak body to compete with an energy blade with an attack strength of 30-50 degrees.
Therefore, they can only make strange noises and fly around in the sky, trying to interfere with the enemy's movement with their dense numbers.
As for the vampire bats that rushed into the knight team's defensive circle, their fate was even more miserable.
Rune swords made of special magic steel were swung like flying in the hands of high-level knights, and the sword light flashed as fast as lightning. 5 long swords formed a sword circle, and all the bats that broke into it had not even gotten close to them.
, were beheaded one by one.
Mary, who was standing on the outside and watching from a distance, had no idea that her subordinates were being slaughtered.
For her, only the blood knights and low-level vampires around her are worthy of attention. As for the peripheral blood slaves and derivatives, no matter how many deaths there are, it won't hurt. If the number is not enough, find a human city to hold a blood donation feast.
The number of low-level servants will be replenished soon.
Therefore, these guys are already victims, so why are they worth it?
However, in this wilderness and barren mountain, it is still difficult to replenish blood slaves immediately, so Mary does not intend to let these cannon fodder be wasted too much.
With Mary's slight wave of her hand, the hundred or so low-level vampires entrenched beside her instantly flew up nearly halfway, flapping their wings and blending into the group of vampire bats.
"Be careful, a vampire is coming!" the knight leader in the team warned in a low voice.
In the pursuit and escape for more than half a year, countless partners have fallen miserably under the fangs of these vampires, either because of lack of physical strength or because of carelessness.
These vampires may not have great attack and defense power, but they are extremely good at fighting.
They are mixed among the ordinary vampire bats. Once they see an opportunity, they will pounce quickly and transform into human form the moment they rush to the target's side. They do not avoid the knight's attack at all, they just pounce on them in order to
The injured man desperately scratched and bit at the knight's flesh and blood that fell outside the armor.
Such a fearless attack is simply impossible to defend against!
If there are only one or two vampires fighting like this, the knights can handle it with their sharp swords and strong armor, but if a group of vampires come up, even the spell-breaking knights will have difficulty resisting such an attack.
So with the addition of the vampire group, the battle for the 5-man knight team became more difficult.
The physical strength of the Radiant Knights was far superior to these vampires, so killing them was like chopping melons and vegetables. So, the vampires desperately urged the vampire bats to rush forward and entangle the two Radiant Knights, while they
They quickly gathered together and continuously attacked the defense circle around the three spell-breaking knights.
In a violent and bloody battle, a spell-breaking knight only focused on wielding his sword to kill the mutated bats flying past him, and did not even notice the low bushes under his feet.
With a stagger, he took two steps back and actually got 'away' from the defensive circle.
Such an incident immediately caused him to break out in a cold sweat. Before he could stand upright, he waved his long sword and tried to rush back to his companions who were close at hand.
Unfortunately it's too late!
Fluttering...
All of a sudden, countless vampire bats poured into the knights' battle circle through this gap, overwhelming all the knights with terrifying numbers.
And just when they had no time to take care of it, groups of vampires descended from the sky, frantically attacking the sword array of the stray knights with their bodies.
Blood splattered and limbs flew everywhere!
However, in this bloody wind, the figures of the stray knights were rushed further and further away, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Puff puff puff...
Several consecutive energy blades shot up into the sky, instantly chopping the group of vampire bats around them into pieces of flesh. Blood rained all over the sky, and everyone's body was dyed red.
They had just cleared out this group of enemies, but before they could adjust to the violent energy in their bodies, a new group of vampire bats swarmed in from all directions, suppressing them in place again.
Through the gaps between the chaotic bat swarms, the knights could vaguely hear the sounds of their stray companions struggling to kill and shouting more than a dozen steps away. But soon followed by a shrill scream, the distant sounds gradually stopped, leaving only
That strange sucking sound that makes your legs weak.
"No, leader, we have to rescue Stoffey!" The strong man Lokar, who wielded the giant axe, was panting from exhaustion, and the knotted muscles on his body were covered with shiny stains of sweat.
"What to save? Can't you see that he is already dead?" Sim roared angrily while chopping with all his strength.
The team was no longer complete. If one more mortal man stayed here, I'm afraid none of them would be able to escape today. So he hated the idea of Lokar, who only had muscles but no brains.
"I don't care, I won't leave any of my brothers behind..." Lokar, whose eyes were already blood-red, roared angrily, turned around, used his giant ax to clear the way, and fought hard into the distance alone.
Damn, damn, damn...
Sure enough, before Sim could curse, the knight leader had already made a quick decision.
"You take Sim and go first, and I will bring Lokar back. We will meet at the agreed place..."
After speaking quickly, the body of the knight leader was covered in dazzling fluorescence in the next second. These runic energies came from his body and condensed into a pair of armor of light on the surface of his body, which also gave him even more violence.
, more ferocious fighting ability.
When the dazzling fluorescence of the sword's blade shone all over the sky, fluttering bat corpses fell like raindrops.
"Let's go, let's go quickly, I'll catch up with you in a minute..."
The knight leader roared loudly and charged into the dense forest.
