The knight in the abyss

Chapter 318 Raid in the Darkness
"Let them go first." Lancelot shrugged, "Unless they block our way."

Everyone quickly finished this short dinner, and after cleaning up the traces of camping here, they left the cave and returned to the ground of Androlina again.

Although everyone has not fully recovered from the negative effects of the battle with the banshee, they are still in a much better state after a long rest, at least everyone is in good spirits.The only one who was still in a coma was Clonewell, and the priest didn't dare to release healing spells on this guy of unknown nature, so he could only let it recover slowly by itself.

Fortunately, through the master-servant contract with Skull, Lancelow can still be sure that this guy is fine.Since there is a dimensional space in Clonewell's body that can be stored, Lancelow can't put it in the storage bag like little Isa, but can only hang it on the sword belt behind him.Fortunately, considering everyone's looks at the moment, a skull pendant matches his current style quite well.

It was midnight at this moment, the starlight in the sky was very blurry, the surroundings were almost dark and there was no difference from the cave he had just left. Even people with night vision ability could hardly see what they were stepping on.That might not be a big deal elsewhere, but on the demon-controlled North Shore, it's a different story.

Chaos attracts demons, and the presence of demons breeds chaos. In areas dominated by demons, everything will mutate.The blades of the weeds became sharp, a large mouth full of fangs grew on the trunk, and the hanging vines were like poisonous snakes, trying to attack any creature that approached.

Fortunately, there is a ranger who is familiar with the situation in the team, so everyone doesn't have to worry about the entanglement of these mutant plants.Axiian, who was disguised as a drow, walked at the front of the team. His flowing white hair was very conspicuous even in the dark, making it easy for the companions behind to keep up.

They headed north all the way in the dark, with the goal of arriving at the shore of Lake Lamborado before dawn and finding a suitable camping site.With rangers in the party, they don't have to worry about getting lost in the dark, so it's not too difficult a target.

If nothing gets in their way.

Axian mentioned that there was a small group of demon patrols ahead, and Lancelot originally hoped to avoid them, but unfortunately things backfired, and everyone still encountered this group after advancing for more than two hours.Lancelot issued a warning in advance, reminding Axiian that there were enemies ahead, which surprised the elf ranger, who was proud of his detection and tracking abilities.

They overtook the patrol at the edge of a dense snake forest.The snake tree is a unique species in the abyss. It looks like a beech that has lost its leaves, but it only takes a glance from a distance to see the evil nature of this tree: their branches are fleshy rather than woody. Like a series of disgusting tentacles; the ends are triangular-shaped snake heads with fangs. As long as there are living creatures approaching, they will all face the direction of the person and make a hissing sound.

Although these dangerous trees are very afraid of fire and will not attack anyone who holds a torch, it will immediately give away everyone's location.What's more unfortunate is that the Snake Grove is located on the left side of the direction of everyone's progress, that is, to the west, while Lake Lamborado and Gormen Dicolia are both in the northwest direction. If everyone goes around from the other side, they will deviate from the original direction. Set the route and take a big circle around the road.

In view of this, there is only one choice left for everyone.

On the open ground, Lancelot's telepathy is still very useful.He concentrated a little, and confirmed that there were no other enemies within a mile radius, while Aksian quietly touched it, and returned with the exact number of enemies in a short while.

"Three berserk demons and twelve cowards are protecting a kasimo." The elf ranger reported to everyone in a low voice, "that kasimo is flying, so I couldn't find it from the footprints before. They It was a quick move, and we should have a chance to get close enough to make a surprise attack."

"Can your bow and arrow take down that Cassim?" Lancelot glanced at Axiian, "We can't let that guy slip away."

"No problem, I promise it will be the first to fall," the elf ranger assured him.

"Okay, the remaining enemies are not a big problem, Karaline, Aramiel, try not to waste your spellcasting times."

The two casters looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"Cronwell hasn't woken up yet, and little Isa is still resting. Elotesia, this time, you and Cora will stay behind to protect the caster, okay?"

"Leave it to me." The succubus paladin nodded, not complaining about not being able to go to the front line to fight.Lancelot knew that, as a paladin, a succubus would have no qualms about engaging any evil foe, and that certainly included the tanar'ri.But Lancelow doesn't need to let the succubus kill her compatriots again and again to prove something. In fact, unless it is necessary for self-defense, Lancelow rarely arranges for the succubus paladins to actively attack demons. Task.

Leaving the path of evil already hard enough, he didn't want to add any new moral dilemmas to the succubus.

"Okay." Lancelot waved his hand lightly, "Action!"

The enemy was less than [-] feet away in front of everyone, but the group of demons moved quickly as reported by the ranger. The cowards kept making vague and inarticulate complaints, and the leader of the kasimo replied Harsh urging and cursing, while the two berserk demons serving as bodyguards would seize any opportunity to beat the slow coward.

Thanks to the noise, Lancelot and Brutal were able to get close enough that otherwise the clattering of the armor would have given them away.But after all, a coward heard something. The bat ears on its pig's face moved, and it turned to look backward.

What came oncoming was a turquoise sword light, which split the unlucky coward in half.

At the same time, two silver streamers flew over Lancelot's head. They were arrows shot by the ranger, and they went straight to the Cass Demon in the center of the enemy group.

The hammer thrown by Brutal was also flying towards the humanoid fly.The moment he saw the kasimo, the dwarf remembered how much he hated this demon.Before meeting Lancelot, he and his people had spent more than a year of miserable time as slaves, and the Overseer was just such a kasimo.

The ranger's two arrows pierced through the giant fly's wide abdomen, nailing it firmly to the ground, while Brutal's flying hammer smashed Cassmo's head into a ball of fleshy paste.Before the hammer flew back again, the dwarf let out a strange roar, and rushed towards the group of demons with his bare hands.

Although he didn't have a weapon in his hand, his armor was covered with blades and spikes. Before, these devices were useless against skeletons and banshees, but now against this group of less powerful people with flesh and blood Enemy, he finally got a chance to try this new 'toy'.
