Lord Chronicle

Chapter 144 Kidnapping
At this moment, the Lord's Mansion in the town.

"Mira, get out of the way, don't make trouble here."

In the kitchen, Marlene complained to Mira, who jumped around her.

The little girl was preparing a lot of food in a hurry. The ingredients on the chopping board were piled up like a mountain, and the flames were rising under the several cauldrons, and a strong aroma wafted in the room.

At this moment, Mira was like an excited kitten, spinning back and forth at her feet. Every time she reached out to try to steal the food on the table, Marlene slapped it back.

"Stop making trouble, young master and the others are still waiting for dinner."

Being so entangled by her, Marlene had no choice but to grab a sausage and throw it casually.Mira immediately jumped up quickly, and caught it in mid-air. Only at this time, she would be quiet for a while.

But soon, she got tired of Marlene's feet again, rubbing her head against her calf.

"I can't give it to you anymore. If you eat the young master again, you won't have anything to eat." Marlene tapped her on the head with a spoon seriously.

At this time, outside the courtyard of the Lord's Mansion, several mysterious men approached quietly.

"It's here, we can be sure that the target is in this house." A man whispered.

"How to tell?" asked another.

The man said: "The target is a little girl with black hair, very recognizable. Remember, this is the mansion of the local lord. Because of the invasion of the undead, everyone is outside the town, so we have a chance to attack. So after a while Don't stay, leave immediately, don't leave any traces, understand?"

"Understood." Everyone agreed and began to touch the courtyard.

At this moment in the kitchen, Mira, who was stopped by Marlene several times from stealing food, couldn't bear it anymore.Taking advantage of Marlene's turning around, she suddenly jumped up and threw her hand at a piece of grilled steak.

"Ah, stop!" Marlene realized in time and turned around quickly.

The two collided, and Marlene sat back and fell to the ground. She happened to knock over the pocket on the table behind her. It contained black fruit powder, a local specialty of Lovell, which can be used as seasoning just like monosodium glutamate.Suddenly, a large amount of black powder poured down, covering Marlene, and her blonde hair was immediately covered.

Seeing that she had gotten into trouble, Mira grabbed the steak in fright and jumped out of the window.

"It's really..." Marlene stood up helplessly, slapped her body, and immediately a cloud of black dust rose around her.

"Ah, my stew." Just as she was about to slap the ashes off her head, Marlene suddenly saw the stew pot start to churn, so she quickly grabbed a square towel and wrapped it around her head, then stirred it in the pot.

At this time, the group of mysterious men circled the house half a circle and came to the kitchen at the back.Hearing noises coming from the kitchen, a man peeked in through the window and saw the back of a girl in a turban, and the hair protruding from her turban was "black".

"I found the target." The man waved his hand at his companion.

After confirming that the other party was indeed the "black-haired girl", several men quietly pushed open the kitchen door and tiptoed towards Marlene.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Marlene thought Mira had come back, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not mad at you anymore, come here." Then she turned around.

Unexpectedly, what caught my eyes were a few people I had never seen before.She said in surprise, "Who are you..."

A man rushed forward and slapped Marlene on the side of the neck, and Marlene fainted.The leading man was about to check when there was a sudden noise from the window on the other side of the kitchen. Afraid of disturbing others, the group hurriedly unfolded the prepared pockets and stuffed Marlene into it.

"It's so easy to succeed, why did the previous few people fail?" the man wondered.

"That's because they are too stupid." Another person curled his lips in disdain, and carried the bag on his shoulder.

"What are these black ones?" One noticed the powder on the ground.

"This is the kitchen, it's probably carbon ash. Stop talking nonsense, get out quickly." The man carrying Marlene said in a hurry.

So he caught Marlene's group by mistake and left in a hurry.

Not long after, Mira's head popped out of the window quietly.Seeing the empty kitchen, she was taken aback for a moment, then twitched her nose, with a puzzled look on her face.

Jumping into the kitchen, she sniffed around for a while, then chased the direction where the men left.

************************************************** ****************
Half an hour later, at the edge of the ruins forest.

"W-Who is this?" Raul stared at the unconscious Marlene dumbfounded.

The leading man wondered: "That girl you want us to catch, she has black hair, that's right."

Raul reached out and swept Marlene's head, then raised his hand with a livid face: "This is powder, idiot, haven't you checked it at all?"

Seeing the "gold" on Marlene's head, the man also panicked. He stammered, "I'm sorry, because it's in the Lord's Mansion, and you told us to finish things as soon as possible, so I..."

Raul scolded angrily: "A bunch of idiots!"

Followed him wondering: "It's strange, why is there so much black powder on her head?"

The man tentatively said, "Do you want us to go again..."

Raul waved his hand: "Her disappearance may have aroused alarm, don't act for now, wait for another chance."

"Then what should she do?" The man pointed at Marlene.

After thinking for a while, Raul said, "I have no choice but to take her to the ruins and lock her up, and deal with them together when the target is captured. Hurry up, if you use a monster, you can arrive at the camp in the evening."

The man nodded, and carried Mira to the side of the woods, where there were two flying monsters lying on their stomachs.

At this moment, he seemed to feel something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the dense forest behind him.

"What's wrong?" a man asked.

Looking back and forth in the empty forest for a while with burning eyes, Raul shook his head: "No, I'm probably nervous, let's go."

Soon, the monster carrying several people soared into the sky and flew towards the relic forest.

At this time, Mira poked her head out from the thick branches of a big tree, then jumped back to the ground and ran towards the town.

************************************************** ***************************
"Mira, leave me alone, what are you doing?"

Sol was confused and impatient with Mira who kept jumping up and down in front of him.

Kunai couldn't speak. Although Mira was in a hurry, she could only express her intentions through some gestures that outsiders could not understand. Unfortunately, Sol obviously lacked the understanding of Marlene.

"What's wrong?" Jessica walked over.

Sol spread his hands: "I don't know, Mira suddenly ran over and jumped around me, and I don't know what happened."

"Really?" Jessica looked at Mira, but she couldn't understand Mira's gestures.

"I'm probably hungry. It would be great if Marlene was here." She couldn't help guessing.

Hearing Jessica say the word Marlene, Mira immediately became excited. She grabbed Jessica's hand and dragged her towards the town.

"What are you doing?" Jessica was baffled, and forced to take two steps, she said abruptly, "Marlene, did you mean to say Marlene just now?"

Mira immediately nodded her head.

"What's wrong with Mary?" Jessica still didn't understand.

Mira couldn't speak, so she just kept pulling her toward the town.

At this moment, a guard poked his head out from the tent: "Miss Jessica, there seems to be something wrong with the list of supplies, please take a look."

No longer caring about Mira's meaning, Jessica said to her, "Wait a minute, I'll deal with that first." Then she hurried to the tent.

Seeing the two leave, Mira was so anxious that she ran around in circles, but there was nothing she could do.Suddenly she gritted her teeth, a flash of determination flashed across her face, and she turned around and ran towards the relic forest.

Not long after, the forest suddenly seemed to be boiling, and various monsters roared in horror. Soon, a tiger-eating bird flew into the sky, and the person lying on its back was Mira.

She hugged the tiger-eating bird's neck tightly, and covered its head with its big mouth. The tiger-eating bird was so frightened that it kept thumping in the air, but soon, as if accepting its fate, it flew Mira to the depths of the forest. go.

Over there is the direction of the ruins...

************************************************** ******************
"Um…"

Marlene slowly opened her eyes.

The blurred vision gradually became clear, and when she saw the surrounding situation clearly, she realized that this place was no longer the kitchen of the Lord's Mansion that she was familiar with.

This is a small wooden house, empty and empty, with the door closed tightly, and the only window in the house opened very high, and the window frame is separated by strong iron bars.Looking out from there, you can only see large dense branches and leaves, and the sky is red with sunset, it seems that it is almost evening.

"What is this place?" Marlene stood up in doubt.

In his memory, he was preparing dinner for the young master in the kitchen, but somehow he passed out, and he was here when he woke up.Is someone playing a prank on him, or is Mira playing tricks?
"anyone there?"

Shouting, Marlene went to the door and pulled it, but there was no movement.She panicked a little, and increased her strength, but even though her little face was flushed, the thick wooden door remained motionless, obviously locked tightly from the outside.

"Is anyone there? Where is this? Let me out!" Marlene yelled as she tried her best.

However, there was no response to her yelling, and there was no sound outside, it was eerily quiet, only the helpless voice echoed in the empty hut.

"Master, sister Jessica, are you there? Where is this? I'm going out..."

Just when Marlene was about to be overwhelmed by fear, there were a few knocks on the window suddenly, followed by a small face.

Marlene looked up and found that it was Mila outside the window.

"Mila, did you mess it up?" Marlene felt at ease when she finally saw someone she knew. She blamed her with joy and anger, ignoring the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Mira raised her index finger, making a gesture to silence her, and at the same time kept looking back, as if she was on guard for something.

"What's wrong?" Her strangeness made Marlene nervous again.

Mira shook her head, beckoned her to come under the window, and then opened her mouth to bite the iron bar of the window frame.

Marlene was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

The iron bars separating the window frames are as thick as two fingers, and the dark surface shows that the iron quality is quite good. Although I don't understand why Mira did this, it is obvious that this is not something that teeth can handle.

Mira didn't answer, she turned her head sideways and opened her mouth wide, her snow-white teeth clenched the iron bar tightly, and the two rubbed against each other to make a creaking sound.Gradually, her little face turned red.

"Don't be stupid, no matter how powerful you are, it's impossible..."

Before Marlene could finish speaking, she heard a crackling sound. Mira's upper and lower jaws crisscrossed, and the iron bar was inconceivably broken in the middle.

With bulging cheeks, Mira stared, chewing unceasingly as if she was tasting something. There was a crackling sound of something as hard as eating peas coming from her mouth. Soon she turned her head and spit out a mouthful. Group of broken iron.

"Dang... I didn't say it, you continue..." Marlene was sweating coldly.

Mira smiled at her, then opened her mouth to bite the second iron bar.Soon, under her completely inhuman terrifying bite force, the window was no longer blocked.

Leaning halfway in, Mira stretched out her hand to Marlene, which meant clearly that she was asked to go out through the window.

"Mira, what are you doing?" Marlene couldn't help asking again.

An anxious look appeared on Mira's face, and she kept waving her hands, signaling Marlene to hurry up.

Marlene had no choice but to stand on tiptoe.The two girls are not tall, and the window is opened in the middle of the wall. It took them a lot of effort to "butt" successfully.

Under Mira's dragging, Marlene struggled hard, finally climbing up the window.Lying on the window frame and looking out, she couldn't help being stunned by what she saw.

From her point of view, the wooden house is surrounded by a dense jungle, and the environment is very strange.And in the front left, a huge stone ruin that had never been seen before emerged from the top of the forest, pointing directly at the blue sky.

"Mira, where is this?" Marlene asked in surprise.

Mila, who was pulling her, seemed very anxious. She couldn't help but look back at the dense forest outside the house, and at the same time signaled Marlene to leave the house quickly.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the forest.Seeing that she finally met someone, Marlene was overjoyed and opened her mouth to shout.

Unexpectedly, when she leaned forward violently, it was Mira who dragged her down hard. After losing her balance, Marlene immediately fell from the window.

Touching her aching head, Marlene straightened up in a daze. Just as she was about to ask, Mira covered her mouth and was pulled behind a bush.

Not knowing what medicine she sold in the gourd, Marlene looked at Mira suspiciously, and the latter gave a "don't talk" look in her eyes.At this moment, with the sound of footsteps, the people in the woods came out.

****************************************************************************
"Don't panic, hold on, hold on." Kress walked back and forth on the city wall, loudly cheering for everyone.

All the fighters in Lovell gathered on the wall, each holding their weapons tightly and staring nervously ahead.There, thousands of undead are slowly approaching.

The failure last night made the necromancers very impatient, and before the sun went down, they launched an attack at dusk.So the territory, which had been quiet for a day, faced the baptism of war again.

This time the necromancers mobilized all their strength. Thousands of zombies and skeleton soldiers took the lead, followed by skeleton archers and corpse witches. Huge bone beasts and ghouls were mixed among the corpses, standing like a mountain, , more than a dozen huge vultures circled back and forth.

The bloody setting sun shone on this group of undead creatures full of resentment, and there was a strange drumbeat from nowhere, and the entire outside of Lowell City was filled with yin and war clouds.

Everyone understood that this was the last battle, and the success or failure of tonight was related to the safety of the entire Lovell. Amidst the clanging and clanging, the soldiers unsheathed their swords and drew their bows, waiting for the moment of battle to come.

Compared with the deep roars of the undead below, the entire city wall was silent, except for one or two tense low gasps occasionally.

near... near...

Suddenly, the bone beast that had been advancing slowly, like a raging bison, scratched the ground twice with its front hooves, and then rushed forward.

Amidst the tremors on the ground, the bone beast forced its way through the dense group of corpses. The slow-moving zombies had no time to dodge, and all of them were trampled under their feet.At the same time, the skeleton archers in the group of corpses put on the bone arrows in a uniform movement, the arrows pointing in the air, and the corpse witches also raised their scepters.

Finally started!

"Raise the shield and protect the magician!"

As Kress yelled, the warriors standing around the magician raised their shields one after another, and the city was immediately covered by the shield.At the same time, countless fine white shadows crossed a parabola in the sky, and then shot down.

Jingling jingling... In a burst of intensive impact, the bone arrow was bounced off by the strong shield and shattered. For a while, white bone fragments splashed everywhere on the wall.When the last impact sounded, all the shields were removed at the same time, and there was only a loud "click" in order.

The warriors who withdrew their shields held their weapons tightly at the same time. They understood that this was just an appetizer, and the main meal would be served soon.

"Aim at its feet and attack!" Facing the bone beast that was constantly approaching, Walsa ordered calmly.

The magicians had already taken advantage of the gap between the bone arrow shooting and chanted mantras, and at this moment they all threw out the spells in their hands.All of a sudden, red fireballs, blue lightning, and white ice arrows hit the bone beast one after another.

Almost at the same moment, dozens of strange green air masses dragged their long tail flames across the bone beast's head, and flew towards this direction, and the Liches also attacked.

Several priests unhurriedly set up barriers, and translucent picture circles slowly emerged in midair.

The spells of the two sides staggered past each other, and flew towards their respective intended targets without any hesitation.In the next moment, different light clusters of blue, red, blue and green exploded and exploded at the same time.

In an instant, the entire battlefield was illuminated by flashes of different colors, and even the setting sun was dimmed in this flash.

All the magic bombarded the feet of the running bone beast, and immediately a terrible hurricane blew up, mixed with flames and freezing air, and the nearby zombies fell down in circles like cutting wheat.

All the magicians' full-strength attacks were astonishingly powerful, cracks began to appear on the bone beast's thick forelimbs, and they were continuously torn apart in the explosion.Finally, at a place tens of meters away from the city wall, its ice-cracked left foreleg could no longer withstand the enormous force of its body, and broke suddenly.

Then the huge bone beast fell to the ground with an earth-shattering noise, and instantly even the ground trembled, and the ground was billowing with smoke and dust.

Before everyone cheered for the bone beast's fall, the poisonous mist of the Lich Witch followed closely. Most of them were blocked by the barrier in front of the formation, but some hit the wall. As the green mist exploded, The soldiers nearby all fell down in pain.

"Send the poisoned one down, prepare to fight!" Kress shouted, and cut off the ropes of the rai wood hanging on the city wall with a sword, and the huge rai log rolled down, crushing the zombies below into a meat paste.

At this time, the first wave of undead was approaching the city wall. They began to hit the city wall with their bodies, and climbed up one by one. Everyone on the wall also quickly counterattacked, and the battle finally broke out.

Separated by a city wall hundreds of meters long, the two sides fought fiercely. The coalition composed of humans and dwarves slashed and killed the zombies and skeleton soldiers who kept climbing up. Fierce sparks continuously flashed from the barrier.

The chief of the dwarf tribe, Leo, went into battle in person. He led dozens of dwarves to pour grease on the pre-hanging log, set it on fire, and lowered the city wall.The burning shovel rushed into the group of corpses with billowing flames, causing great damage.

The two magic dolls were also urgently transferred to the forefront by Thor, and they once again showed amazing fighting power in the battle against the undead.Relying on the huge force driven by the machine, the two puppets raised huge boulders and smashed them at the enemy. The stones weighing hundreds of catties were easily thrown nearly a hundred meters away by them. A "blank" of blood and blood was formed in the middle.
