my age of magic

Chapter 167 Chapter 167

The blood had dyed the entire altar red. Nelson, covered in blood, jumped off the wolf with a butcher knife in his hand. Under the eyes of everyone, he hugged the mighty wolf and whispered a few words in its ear. Then he cut off the leather buckle of the leather saddle on the wolf's back with a machete. He stroked the hair on the neck of the wolf with his hands affectionately, with a faint reluctance in his eyes, but he patted the saddle lightly. On the forehead of the wolf, he said to the wolf with a trace of bitterness: "Go, never come back, hide in the depths of the wilderness, there is your home, and I will go home, my My home is at the foot of the Daxue Mountain."

The heroic warg shook its fluffy hair violently, raised its head to the sky and howled, and even jumped several times in the open space of the square before leaving Bangor Manor.

The orc girls kneeling on the wooden planks waiting to be slaughtered on the altar did not understand what happened, but felt that after a commotion under the altar, a warrior riding a wolf rushed up and killed all the orc executioners. The cavalry captain wiped the blood-stained scimitar on the executioner's body, then strode towards the wooden cage and split it open with his knife.

The orc children who were rescued were frightened by this series of events for a while, and they didn't even know to run out of the cage.Nelson wiped the blood from his face and muttered, "Werewolves cannot kill werewolves, and werewolves cannot betray their ancestors..."

Under the altar, a Black Fang tribe orc shouted loudly in the crowd: "Nelson, you are crazy, those people you killed are your own people!"

At this time, someone immediately echoed and said: "We picked up these lazy beast girls from outside. They are from outside. You actually killed the chief and the executioner for these dirty women."

"You killed Chief Maxine, how will this matter end, you will be hanged by the elders, child!"

"Leave the Black Fang tribe far away, and go to the depths of the wilderness to be a wandering hunter!"

"He killed Maxine, and no matter what, he can't be let go."

The people from the Black Fang tribe around the altar once again surrounded the altar, and the orc guards around us couldn't bear their temper anymore. They mustered up their courage and rushed up together.The standard weapons of the orc guards are all bronze axes, which are very heavy. More than a dozen orc guards swung the bronze axes and chopped them. Rubbing his body, he shuttled back and forth between the gaps in the shadow of the axe, blocking or cutting, barely parrying the besieging orcs.Qiang Bach and Yue Lun supported on both sides. Although there were many people on the opposite side, the strength of these three people far surpassed those orc guards, and it was difficult for these orc guards to charge up from the front for a while.

The black conical cap on Sister Guoguo's head was lifted by the wind, revealing her fair face. She raised her hands tucked under her sleeves to her chest, and a huge ball of water condensed in front of her.

When the orc guards around saw this scene, they all had incredulous eyes on their faces, and someone in the crowd shouted: "She is a human mage, stop her from casting spells!"

Archers finally appeared in the orc crowd, but the orc guards who rushed forward fought with Duo Lunlie, worried that they would hurt their companions and refused to make a move. At this time, the target became Sister Guoguo, and the arrows shot from those orcs. The guards flew over their heads, shooting them scattered like raindrops.

It was about 80 years of peace that made these orc warriors no longer have the experience of fighting against aliens. They even too seriously thought that the basic magic skills of magicians were still the old ones that needed to read lengthy spells and draw complicated magic patterns. array can be activated.And the next second after the water polo in Guoguo's hand appeared, it had condensed into several ice shields and spread out to block us. The arrows made of animal teeth hit the ice shield and bounced to the ground one after another.

Viru frowned and saw more and more orc guards gathering, leading us to retreat in the direction of the stone arch.Sister Guoguo has always asked me to follow her. I can see that she wants me to get under her skirt at this moment, so that I will be safer.Some orc guards who rushed up were stabbed by Duolunlie's broad-edged sword. The orcs who saw blood are the most terrifying. They will not retreat because of a slight injury, but will be more Crazy rushed up.

At this time, there was chaos in the square, and some orc guards rushed to the altar, trying to catch Wolf Cavalry Captain Nelson.Some orc guards surrounded our team, trying to arrest Kurtz and me.We followed Viru and retreated to the bottom of a stone house, leaning against the wall of the stone house behind us, which was considered a chance to breathe.

At this time, I found that Nelson on the altar had already walked to the side of the huge square tripod, and looked at the huge bronze tripod with dull eyes. The lines carved on the tripod were covered with blood stains, some of which had dried up, and some sticky blood flowed down the lines, falling drop by drop on the wooden floor of the altar. Two outriggers.With a loud shout, the copper cauldron filled with orc blood was overturned.

The huge copper tripod fell on the altar with a "bang", and the viscous blood inside flowed all over the ground.A few orc guards who rushed to the altar were knocked to the ground, and they fell on the blood-soaked altar, making them miserable.However, these orc guards were also very frightened by the blood in the copper cauldron, and they did not expect that there would be so much blood in the huge cauldron.

The orcs of the Black Fang tribe only knew that the chief needed some orc blood for a sacrificial activity. The elders in the tribe all opposed it, but in Bangor Manor, who could resist Chief Maxine's request? will?
"Ow!"

There was a muffled roar from a stone house not far from the altar, and the muffled voice made it hard to breathe.The whole stone house trembled with the roar, and the rubble and wall ash debris kept falling down. The orcs living in Bangor Manor were no strangers to that deep howling sound. When there was a wave of corpses every spring, those There are such terrifying voices among the swamp zombies all over the mountains and plains.

Those who have lived on the edge of the swamp have been familiar with the sound for so many years.However, Drowning Park has always been the forefront of the invasion of swamp zombies. They are often driven back into the swamp by hunters and orc warriors from various tribes. Few zombies can enter the windmill hills.

The orcs of the Black Fang tribe who have participated in the anti-swamp zombie eradication operations over the years will never forget such a terrifying sound.Ordinary swamp zombies have no voice lines. Their deep voices are peculiar ventriloquist sounds produced by the vibration of their abdomen. Generally, the frequency of such voices is extremely low, and they can only communicate with each other among zombies, only above the king level. Swamp Zombies can make chest tight noises.

Therefore, this huge and heavy corpse roar sent the whole manor into panic.

"My blood!"

From the wall of the stone house closest to the altar, a huge and strong arm stretched out. This arm was light green in color and covered with viscous and foul-smelling body fluids. He just punched the solid stone house A big hole was punched in the wall.The huge shoulders swayed from side to side in the wall, knocking the stone house tottering.

A huge head with a blurry face came out of the wall. It kept roaring towards the altar. Before I could take a closer look, the swamp zombie had already squeezed out of the stone wall. The whole zombie was more than three meters high. , they are as strong as the tauren of the orcish tribes or the barbarians of the icy tundra.

As soon as he got out of the stone wall, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a werewolf of the orc clan who was fleeing in a panic. With both hands, he tore the poor orc into two pieces, spilling blood and internal organs on the ground.The zombie ferociously lifted half of the orc's remnant body above its head, letting the blood splash on its chubby head. It opened its big mouth excitedly to let the orc's blood flow into its throat, and for a while it made a gurgling sound, looking like Very excited.

At this time, two orc guards who were nearby had already rushed to this side, and at the same time, they raised the bronze giant axe and slashed at the thigh of the zombie general. Leave a shallow trace.But it caused the zombie general to turn his attention.

It seems to move slowly, but its strong and powerful hands are as fast as lightning. Before the orc guard can react, it has already grabbed the back of the zombie's neck, twisted it hard, and the heads of the two orc guards have been held in the hands of the zombie general , his body left the hole in the wall of the stone house, hissed and sniffed the smell of blood in the air, his head looked towards the altar.

What is frightening is that a new zombie arm appeared on the edge of the wall of the hole, and a smaller swamp zombie crawled out of the stone wall, but in such a chaotic scene, who could clearly.From the moment the first swamp zombie king appeared, the orc guards of Bangor Manor responded quickly and surrounded the swamp zombies.

"The tide of corpses is coming!" In a panic, I don't know which orcs shouted. The orcs gathered in the square suddenly looked like headless flies, and began to scurry around in a panic. They all flocked to several exits. , unexpectedly engulfed the orc warriors in the crowd, and the formation that was originally formed was smashed to pieces by the panicked orcs.

"Give me back my blood, who touched my blood! You stupid orcs who have no promises, hate it!" It turned out to be a high-level corpse king who had developed low-level wisdom and mastered the orc language. Such a powerful swamp zombie I'm afraid it has exceeded the level of a first-level monster.

The first one who rushed out of the stone house by the Swamp Corpse King knocked away the panicked crowd and walked straight to the altar. Along the road, the orcs of the Black Fang tribe who had no time to dodge would be killed by the Swamp Corpse King's big hand. Broken ribs.It's just that the target of the swamp corpse king was the altar, so that those orcs who had no time to escape escaped.

The swamp zombies who followed the swamp corpse king had already rushed into the chaotic crowd and started their feast of blood.

Seeing the orcs fleeing in all directions in the square, Kurz and I were stunned by this scene. We didn't expect to meet a swamp zombie here. Who would have thought that the so-called sacrifice of the Black Fang tribe was actually Maxine The chief used the flesh and blood of the blood wolf clan orc girls of other tribes to feed the swamp zombies. This guy was too daring.

Kurz finally bared his fangs and shouted at the orc guards surrounding us: "This is the so-called sacrificial ceremony of your tribe? You use the blood of your compatriots to nourish these zombies who occupy our homeland!"

The orc guard leader couldn't believe the scene before him, but he calmed down immediately, raised the battle ax in his hand and shouted loudly: "Use blood to prove the glory of our Black Fang tribe orcs, children, stop those zombies! "

The orc archers of the Black Fang tribe finally changed their targets and pointed their bows and arrows at the swamp zombies crawling out of the stone houses, but the feathered arrows shot by ordinary orc warriors pierced into these swamp zombies, at most It could only pierce a little flesh, and although it made the swamp zombie growl, it couldn't cause any substantial damage.

The twenty or so wolf cavalry who had been forced into a corner by the orc guards had already lined up in a neat row, and new wolf cavalry rushed in from outside the square. The entire Black Fang tribe had fifty wolf cavalry.At this time, only they can calmly face the corpses.

Looking at the zombies crawling out of the stone house one after another, I was finally able to figure out these things. It seems that Maxine, the chief of the Black Fang tribe, signed some kind of contract with the swamp zombie king, so that Bangor Manor would be allowed to live here. It survived the tide of corpses in the death swamp.But the method somewhat violated the dignity and glory of the orcs, that is, he needed to sacrifice the blood of the orcs to these swamp zombies.And all this was known by the captain of the Wolf Cavalry, and then there would be a scene like today.

"Let your people protect the werewolves in the tribe and evacuate the manor. This is the battlefield of the wolf cavalry! Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. The life of every tribal warrior is precious." A wolf cavalry stopped the leader of the orc guards and said calmly .

The leader of the orc guards took a deep look at the wolf cavalry who had rushed into the square, and did not argue too much. According to the wolf cavalry, he began to adjust the deployment and let the orc warriors evacuate the square, but the orc archers around the square They still occupy a favorable position, although those ordinary arrows are of little use.

Those swamp zombies started chasing and killing the panicked orcs in the square. Although they moved slowly, they were undead monsters with a peak strength of the first level. They would release a spell that made people slow down. The breath of the earth element, my magic perception can clearly tell me that this is a range of earth magic, and it is related to gravity.

Those swamp zombies don't seem to need to recite any magic spells, they just need to stand in place to gather their magic power, and a dark red hexagram-shaped magic circle will slowly appear under their feet. Although this process is a bit long, when the magic circle is formed After that, it can make an area of ​​ten square meters sluggish, and the orcs in the area will be pressed to the ground by gravity, and every step is very difficult.

Our teams have become neglected. Looking at the squares that have become empty one after another, Viru and I reached a preliminary agreement. Under the condition of ensuring safety, we can tentatively attack these swamp zombies. After all, they will be ours. The biggest enemy in this drowning trip.

At this moment, Nelson, the captain of the Wolf Cavalry on the altar, stood there calmly holding a scimitar. Behind him, the group of orc girls who had escaped from the executioner's ax and the orc children in the cage quickly walked away. He fled behind the altar, but the swamp corpse king who crawled out of the stone house first had already walked under the altar.
