Collectors of Beauty World

Chapter 160 Succeeded, but Not Completely Succeeded
The Thundermen's revenge on Neverwinter actually started earlier.However, because there are too many villages around, many of them are too remote.Therefore, the news failed to reach Neverwinter City at first.

By the time the news was relayed, the Torre assassins were actually close to Neverwinter.

Sazastan did not dare to launch large-scale military operations.His undead army's control of the Torre area has aroused the hostility of the entire continent.But now, the matter has nothing to do with them, and the major forces still maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

But if she dares to send troops to Neverwinter City on a large scale, other forces will never let him succeed.

The main reason is that Neverwinter is different from Torre.This city, as well as the surrounding radiation areas, are so rich in resources.The population is so big that it explodes.

If the Torre people were allowed to control Neverwinter.Then he can instantly create an army of 10 undead.By then, it will be enough to threaten the entire continent.

Therefore, he hid in Torre and no one wanted to provoke him.Sazastan himself knew this.Even if he was plotting against Neverwinter, he sent Sophia to sneak into it and prepare for a surprise attack.
Lu Xiao didn't know if Sophia could succeed without him.But after Sophia's failure, the news of the red-robed mage's conspiracy in Neverwinter still spread.Therefore, the Torre people are still very peaceful on the surface.

But secretly it's different.Because of the special magic effect of Scarlet Touch.Although those Torre soldiers have turned into special undead beings.But the memory and appearance will not change much.

The only difference is that the skin is pale, with a faint cyan color.It's the color of a corpse.This shortcoming can actually be easily disguised.Therefore, it is not difficult to get close to Neverwinter.

But that's not the case if you want to enter Neverwinter City.Inside Neverwinter City there is the super large barrier magic set by Sophia.

It has an early warning effect for the approach of magical creatures.Once they enter Neverwinter, they will be immediately locked and have nowhere to hide.

Therefore, they have been wandering around the outskirts of Neverwinter City, killing farmers and traveling caravans as revenge against Neverwinter City.

At this time, a group of soldiers from Neverwinter City were outside a village.But the village in front of me was silent and lifeless.

"We're late. This is the sixth village."

"Look to see if there are any survivors. Work in groups of four, and no one is allowed to be alone."

Because they knew how powerful the Torre assassins were, all the patrolling soldiers were in groups of four.Holding the Long Contradiction Card, search each house carefully.

These soldiers are all locals of Neverwinter, and many of them are from surrounding rural areas.Seeing these villagers being massacred at this time, all of them were already filled with rage.

But those Torre assassins moved extremely quickly.And he seemed to be deliberately provoking them.They were left with clues each time, but each time they arrived a step too late.

After a search, no survivors were found.As undead assassins, those Torei have a special sense of life.It is impossible for ordinary people to avoid it.

"Fuck. Inform the base camp that we have lost you."

The captain stood up in frustration and led the team to prepare to return.

But on the way back, they met a knight covered in blood.Or mercenaries.The equipment on the opponent's body was obviously saved by himself.It's not the standard armor of the guards of Neverwinter.

"Help."

After the other party saw the patrol team in Neverwinter City, they immediately dismounted.But the moment it landed, it hit the ground directly.

"Help."

"Rescue. What's going on? Are you in any danger?"

When two soldiers stepped forward to check on the mercenary.The captain of the city guard suddenly realized something was wrong.He looked around and suddenly realized something.

"Be careful."

He reacted, but it was a little late.The two soldiers were already too close to the mercenaries on the ground.

The next second, a blue flame flashed.The mercenary lying on the ground suddenly jumped up.A long knife burning with blue flames in his hand slashed the throats of the two soldiers.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The captain shouted.At the same time, a dozen bald men appeared in the surrounding grass, trees, and bushes.

As undead creatures, the Tore have a unifying characteristic: hair loss.Typically, they will hide this with a head hat.But in combat it doesn't matter.

This was an ambush, but an ambush by the Torres against the city guards.These days, they are no longer satisfied with killing civilians.

Instead, he set his sights on the city guards who had been tracking him.

Because of the immortal body and the strengthening of necromancy magic.These Torre Assassins are faster and stronger than ordinary soldiers.Coupled with their immortality, it was very easy for them to face four to five city guards alone.

Lu Xiao knew this problem, so all patrol teams were three-in-one, with each team having 20 people instead of the original 60.

There were 12 Torre assassins attacking.In terms of numbers, they are quite equal in combat strength.But the Torre people were not afraid.Because they are immortal.As long as it doesn't kill twelve people at the same time.

With a little interference from the living, the dead can be quickly resurrected.Then keep fighting.As long as there are no more soldiers to support them, it is only a matter of time before they kill all the soldiers.

The undead fire on the long knife made the war horse irritable and restless.This is an ability that only high-level Torre assassins have.Animals have sharper senses and can sense danger from these living dead.

All the soldiers immediately dismounted and formed a battle formation.Otherwise, once the war horse is frightened, it may even directly hurt one of its own people.

The horses were dispersed and the two sides fought on foot.

When the Torre people attacked, they were also surprised.Because those city guards did not draw their swords to attack him like before.Instead, he quickly retreated, using the shield in his left hand and the spear in his right hand to form a shield wall.

Torre Assassins are highly agile warriors.It's great at killing people, but it's obviously not very suitable for attacking shield walls.However, they didn't care. Relying on their immortality, the bad guys could always destroy the shield wall if they sent a few of them up.

Six Torre assassins rushed forward.Encountered the shield formation.Relying on their stronger speed and strength, they did cause a certain impact.

But at the same time, several were stabbed by spears.

The city guards did not pursue him, but retreated directly, covering their faces with shields.

The Torre people were also stunned for a moment, not understanding what the fuss was about.Because those soldiers just threw away their spears.

But then, they felt something was wrong.After the spear pierced his body, it actually started to heat up.At the same time, it exuded a power that made them extremely uncomfortable.

Before they could react.The spear exploded upon impact.

The four Torre assassins fell to the ground.The remaining Torre assassins didn't care and continued to attack.

After a bloody battle, at least a dozen soldiers died in their attack.At this time, the fallen Torre assassin also resurrected and stood up.

But they are different from before.The spears exploded on them, leaving large holes.After being resurrected, the wounds on their bodies did not recover.

This discovery made them panic immediately.The Torre people at the front didn't know what was going on.But the next few already wanted to run away.

Although they are immortal, they still need this body to fight.A hole in the chest is still okay.But one had his entire right shoulder blown off.The one who was missing one hand became half a cripple.

The most important thing is that these ordinary soldiers actually have ways to deal with their immortality.This makes these Torre assassins really scared.
The reason why they dared to ambush 60 city guards with just a dozen people.Just relying on his high combat power, his immortal body can be used casually.But now, the immortality is broken.The game starts to become less fun.

More Torre assassins were stabbed.And the captain noticed that the effect of the spear was not as expected.On the contrary, the backlash explosion brought unexpected effects.

Therefore, aim directly at the legs of these Torre assassins.

After several explosions.Only two Torre assassins realized something was wrong and successfully escaped, while the remaining ten were captured alive.

This is the first time Neverwinter has captured a Torre alive.Moreover, he is an elite Torre assassin and has extremely high value in both actual combat and political aspects.

Lu Xiao was also quite excited when he heard the news.

However, I am still a little puzzled that the weapons I designed did not achieve the expected results.

"Build a high platform outside the city. Execute those Torre assassins in public. Just use burning. Aren't they immortal? Burn them with fire and see how long it takes to completely burn them to death. By the way, just burn eight. Get it for me. Two more complete ones, I need to study.”

Another group gathering in Neverwinter, albeit a bit bloody this time.But tens of thousands of people still attended.

Because this time, it was the trial of those Torre assassins.

These guys massacred six villages and three caravans in the past month.There are also a large number of people who are alone.

In total, more than 700 citizens of Neverwinter City were killed.It caused a huge fear effect around the entire city of Neverwinter.

At the same time, their methods were bloody and cruel to the extreme.Even the newborn baby is not spared.

Although these Torre assassins retain human memories.But the emotional level has been almost wiped out by necromancy magic.So there is no sympathy at all.Regardless of whether they are adults or children, they are all shot to death.

While this caused panic, it also generated an unprecedented hatred among the people.You must know that the family in Neverwinter City has a great cause.Not really afraid of the Torres.Therefore, the people of Neverwinter have been looking forward to the arrest of these murderers.

Now, the wish comes true.Eight Torre Assassins at once.These evil beings that would have only appeared in the mouth of the bard are now trapped on the metal cross.

They were all mutilated, some were missing legs, some were missing shoulders and arms.Others have a big hole in their chest or abdomen.

But even so, these guys are still alive and kicking.Such an evil existence should be purified by fire.

In the face of the Torre assassins, the burning at the stake not only did not arouse resentment, but instead aroused a real sense of common hatred.

"Look at these Torre people, they are evil, ugly, savage. They come into our land and kill our people. Tell me, are we afraid? Afraid?"

"No"

"Tell me, what should we do?"

"Burn them, burn them, burn them."

Amid the cries of countless people, the flames were ignited.

This time, the Torre assassin was really scared.A very interesting phenomenon is.Although they are undead bodies.The physical sense is very weak.But for energy damage like fire, there is actually a feeling.And it seems to be amplified.

The eight Torre assassins howled crazily in the flames, and soon became silent.But this is just the beginning.

Soon they are resurrected and the pain is repeated again.

After repeating this cycle four times, the Torre assassin was completely silent.Although Lu Xiao did not show up, he had been paying attention to the burning.

"No, it shouldn't be so fast."

"It shouldn't be. It was Sazastan who took back their power. Let them die completely."

"Haha, this move has made me look like a villain. Okay, the fun is over. Let's go study why the Demon-Breaking Spear can't completely destroy this immortal body."

The two assassins left behind were the ones who had their legs blown off.After being sent to this basement, they felt something was wrong.

Lu Xiao's subsequent actions made the two survivors even more frightened.

"Be good, and you will be able to escape sooner. So, please cooperate."

As Lu Xiao spoke, he took out a piece of body tissue from one of them.

Under his observation, these body tissues would decay rapidly after leaving the body of the Torre people, and then turn into ashes.

"It has completely escaped the scope of flesh and blood. But it is not a complete magical creation. It is very interesting to know what kind of magic the Scarlet Touch is. It doesn't seem to be a simple necromancy spell."

"Actually, I don't know either. Although I can use that spell, I need to use the horn to cast it. To put it simply, I only know the process of casting the spell, but I have never really analyzed this spell."

The horn that Sophia spoke of was the magic prop used when plotting against Neverwinter.The magic called Scarlet Touch was cast from that thing.

The specific manifestation is a bright red thick fog pouring out from the horn.Humans who are contaminated will turn into undead creatures like Torei people.

Sophia had actually successfully cast this spell.But because of the operations of Lu Xiao and others.The citizens of the arena all ran out to pick up gold.Therefore, the spell failed to harm ordinary people.

What's very interesting is that the red mist dissipated quickly after the uncontaminated humans.It's like it never happened.No trace was left.

After that, the horn lost its effectiveness.The spell cannot be cast again.And there's no way to detect what's wrong with that thing.
