Lord Chronicle

Chapter 64
"Damn it, why is it like this!" On the hillside in the distance, Desk was startled and angry.

The skeleton soldiers he was so proud of couldn't resist even dozens of people. In just a moment, the opponent had advanced to the edge of the forest, almost completely smashing the skeleton soldiers' formation.

Is this really the poorest and most insignificant Lovellland of Dinard?Why is there such a powerful defense team?
"The combat power of the skeleton soldiers is inherently weak. If the opponent has a certain strength, this kind of battle situation is not surprising at all. Let's dispatch the zombies and suppress them with an absolute advantage." Parker said at this time.

They were completely indifferent to the massive loss of skeleton soldiers.This most basic type of arms has always been the cannon fodder of the necromancers.However, it is really amazing that only a few dozen people beat the skeleton soldiers more than ten times their size like this.

"Hmph, a bunch of idiots, I'm afraid you don't know what's waiting for you in the woods opposite." Desk quickly calmed down from the shock, and began to chant spells to drive the zombies to fight.

At this moment, Bucket exclaimed: "Wait, what are those people holding in their hands?"

At this time, below, the commandos who rushed to the edge of the woods did not continue to attack, but spread out to the surroundings under the command of Kress, and began to clear the field.At the same time, the defenders who followed behind rushed forward holding the oil tank.

After taking a look, Desk said with disdain: "Whatever he is, it's just..."

Before he finished speaking, Kress yelled in the field: "Throw!"

Those holding the oil tanks were all members of the defense team who were known for their strength. They threw the oil tanks weighing dozens of kilograms viciously, smashing them into the forest one after another, and the oil on the big beach splashed all over the dense forest.

"Oops, that, that's oil!" Bucket reacted abruptly.

"They want to set fire, Desk, hurry up!" Parker also exclaimed.

At this time, Desk also understood what these humans wanted to do, and in a hurry, he commanded the zombies to exit the woods.However, it was too late. Although the zombies had rough skin and thick flesh, they moved very slowly. Thousands of zombies were crowded in such a forest, how could they retreat in a short time?
"Quick, let the ghouls go up and stop them!" Parker yelled repeatedly.

"It's too late!" The soul fire in Bucket's eyes jumped wildly.

"Damn human!" Desk was so angry that he almost went crazy.

Almost at the same time, with Kress' order to light the fire, dozens of torches rolled and were thrown towards the woods, drawing beautiful tracks in the dark night sky.

boom!The oil-splashed woods ignited immediately, and the crazy flames rose half a day high in an instant. The blazing flames completely wrapped the woods, and the fire quickly swept through the zombies inside.

"Success!" Sol cheered from behind, hugging Jessica and shouting.

Jessica's face also turned red with excitement, letting Sol hold her and spin around in place.The result of the battle was so perfect that anyone with a discerning eye could see that half of the zombies escaped from the woods would be considered good.

"Oh! Senior, well done!" The recruits also cheered.

The raging flames rose up, reflecting the night sky red.The entire dense forest was completely burning, and there were constant crackling noises from the trees, and the billowing heat was hitting people's faces.

Behind the woods, piles of zombies moved out in a hurry, many of the zombies affected by the flames were like a moving pillar of fire, crashing around and igniting other zombies.From time to time, severely burned zombies fell to the ground, gradually turning into a pile of ashes, and the scene was in chaos.

"It's done, retreat!" Kress glanced at the result with satisfaction and issued an order.

The guards on the outside automatically took on the responsibility of opening the way, cleaning up the skeleton soldiers who were still fighting, and the rest of the guards began to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner.

At this moment, a defensive member suddenly exclaimed: "Captain, what's coming!"

Kress stared, and saw dozens of huge black shadows approaching diagonally from behind them, seeming to cut off their way back.With the help of the firelight, they could see clearly that these guys were a group of horrible monsters with a height of more than [-] meters, full of disgusting fat, suture marks all over the body, and a bloody mouth.

If anyone with knowledge is here, they should be able to recognize that this is a group of ghouls.They are monsters created by necromancers using corpses. They are durable, ferocious, and powerful. They are killing weapons that far surpass skeleton soldiers and zombies.

Even though he didn't know the background of the opponent, he knew that it was difficult to deal with them just by looking at the size of these things.Kress made a decisive decision: "After Lesta and I break up, you take the doll and leave!"

"Yes!" When they knew it was not nonsense, the defenders agreed and walked around.

"Lesta, those things seem to be quite powerful." Kress laughed.

With a shake of the giant axe, Lesta curled his lips: "How about the one who kills the most wins?"

"Okay." The two smiled at each other and rushed forward at the same time.

"Squeak!" Contrary to their terrifying appearance, the voices of these ghouls are very high-pitched.Facing the two people leaning forward, a ghoul waved his claws and patted them.

Rolling on the spot, Kress and Lesta avoided the two sides at the same time, and there was a loud bang, and a shallow hole was punched out in the ground, which showed how powerful they were.

"My god." The two were speechless at the same time, but the subordinates were unambiguous.

After rolling in a circle, Kress swung the iron mound horizontally and pulled it, cutting a big hole in the ghoul's leg.At the same time, on the other side, Lesta slashed down with the axe, cutting off half of his foot.

Ghouls, however, are man-made monsters that don't know pain at all.Wounds that are enough to make ordinary creatures incapacitated have no effect on it.The ghoul just paused for a moment, turned around, and grabbed the two of them again with its giant claws.

"Damn! What the hell?" Cursed at the same time, Kress and Lesta avoided again.

During this moment of delay, the rest of the ghouls had rushed over, surrounding the two of them.The long shadow of the ghoul completely enveloped them, like mountains that would crush them at any time.

"It's troublesome, I didn't expect these guys to be so difficult to deal with." Kress and Lesta back to back, both regretting their recklessness just now.

"Be careful!" Suddenly, Kress shrugged his back and pushed Lesta away, while raising his sword to strike.

With a muffled bang, the ghoul's claws pressed against the blade of the sword, and the huge force made Kress groan and kneel on one knee.At the same time another ghoul moved up, sweeping its claws.

At this moment, Kress' figure was restrained and he couldn't dodge. He was about to be slapped in half by the ghoul.At the critical moment, Lesta turned around behind him and stood in front of Kress, and took the blow on the chest of the horizontal axe.

Lesta retreated a few steps before dissipating the force of the palm. Kress took advantage of the situation and drew his sword to stand up. The sharp iron mound pulled the ghoul's palm, cutting off its five fingers.

The two leaned back together again, panting.If they hadn't supported each other just now, I'm afraid both of them would have turned into fallen corpses.

"It's so powerful." Kress shook his sore arms.

"The speed is also very fast." Lesta wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"And, there are so many fucking things." After a pause, the two cursed at the same time.

Shrinking the encirclement one step further, the few ghouls surrounding them raised their giant claws again.At this time, the two of them didn't intend to fight any more. They were joking, facing this kind of monster that was not afraid of getting hurt, a few lives were not enough.

"The wind is tight, scream!" Lesta yelled at the moment the ghouls attacked.But because of nervousness, he used bandit jargon.

"What, what are you talking about?" Kress Zhang Erkong couldn't figure it out.

"I can't win, run!" Lesta pushed behind him, and the two rushed out from the gap between the two ghouls.

At the same time, there was a loud bang behind them, the ground was smashed into a mess by several giant claws, and the mud splashed everywhere made their cheeks hurt.

Rolled on the spot, got up and at the same time the two brave fighters ran away: "Don't play!"

The ghoul froze for a moment, then changed direction and chased them closely.

At this time, the retreating guards just ran to the edge of the sentry post. When they looked back and saw that the captain was actually being hunted down, they turned around and killed them again without thinking about it.When the recruits saw their instructor being chased like a rabbit, their heads got hot and they also rushed out.

"Damn it, come back!" Saul hurriedly stopped him, but how could he stop him?

He just saw it clearly from behind, these ghouls are very powerful, even Kress and Lesta are no match, and these rookies are going to die.

Seeing that the situation was critical, he glanced at several cans of unused oil behind him, and quickly ordered: "Hurry up, carry these oils to the front and prepare the torches!"

Soon the two sides joined together, and Lesta, who was running out of breath, saw that gang of ignorant brats also joined in the fun, and couldn't help being furious: "What are you doing here? Go back!"

"Instructor, we are here to save you!" A recruit shouted, drew his sword and slashed at him.

"Save your head, I'm retreating strategically." Lesta kicked this heroic guy to the ground, but more people rushed past him.

"Damn, it's not easy to be a nanny." Sighing, Lesta turned around with her ax in hand.

The two sides over there had already caught fire, and seven or eight recruits raised their swords and chopped at the ghoul's body. Although the slashed flesh flew all over the place, they did not cause any substantial damage at all.

Getting agitated by this group of people, the ghoul let out a shriek and beat them to pieces with a sweep of his palm.A recruit fell to the ground in a daze, and before he could get up, another ghoul had come behind him.

"Damn it, be careful!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Lesta rushed forward with an ax to his head.

With a muffled sound, he was almost knocked to his knees by the huge force of the ghoul.Struggling to hold on, Lesta yelled at the almost frightened recruits under his feet: "Hurry up!"

Before the words were finished, the ghoul kicked, and its sharp toes pulled out several long holes in Lesta's lower abdomen, and blood spattered instantly.

"Lesta! Stop them!" Seeing that Lesta was injured, Kress yelled, and rushed forward to drag him away with blood splattered all over his body.

During the fierce battle, the addition of two dolls relieved their pressure a little.With their bodies of steel, they withstood most of the attacks of the ghoul group. Amid the constant bang bang bang bang, the puppet's body was smashed into pits, and the body surface coated with anti-magic coating was scratched. Mess.

"How are you?" Kress asked anxiously after dragging Lista to a safe place.

"I still can't die." Lesta spat out blood, and picked up the battle ax again.

"It can't go on like this. These things are too difficult to deal with. If they take the opportunity to rush into the town, it will be troublesome." Looking back at the ghouls that are constantly advancing, Kress said bitterly.

Under the strong pressure of the ghouls, all the members of the defense team had to retreat while fighting, advancing and retreating, and they had already reached the edge of the sentry post.At this moment, Sol suddenly yelled: "Get out of the way!"

Before everyone could react, the big canopy of oil had been poured over their heads and faces.The first few ghouls were caught off guard and were immediately covered in water.

"Do you want to eat barbecue?" Saul smiled at the stunned recruits, and threw the torch in his hand.

With a bang, the flames rose into the air, and the first few ghouls immediately turned into pillars of fire, scurrying around blindly amidst the shrill hissing sound.Engulfed by the flames, the remaining ghouls did not dare to press forward for a while.

On the hillside in the distance, looking at the ghouls that had turned into "Fire Man", Parker was furious: "Damn humans, I must kill them!"

Bucket said in a deep voice: "Calm down, don't get confused. Tonight's losses are already big enough, there is no need to continue the fight. Anyway, the territory has been blocked by us, and they can't escape."

Unlike skeleton soldiers and zombies, ghouls are very precious, and they lose a few as soon as they show up.In addition to Thor's fire attack just now, less than half of the more than 4000 zombies could escape the flames intact.

The loss of this fire was so great, although it didn't make a few necromancers scream, but it also made them feel distressed.

Knowing he was right, Parker reluctantly ordered the ghouls to retreat.Here, Desk has also integrated the remaining zombies and skeleton soldiers, and retreated slowly, of course, to a place where there are no trees.

"Let's go too. The next attack must break through their defense." Bucket said slowly, and the three necromancers quietly disappeared into the darkness.

"Lowell..." Looking at the still burning woods again, Bucket coldly spit out these words from his throat.

************************************************** *******************************
"My god, I'm finally gone." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the ghoul retreated. Of course, no one dared to take advantage of the victory to pursue it.

But everyone also knew in their hearts that although the opponent was caught off guard, they won a momentary victory.But the enemy still has an absolute advantage, and when they attack next time, it will not be so easy.

After all retreated to the sentry post, the group of recruits gathered around Lesta in a hurry.

"Instructor, I'm so touched, your figure just now is really heroic."

"I thought you were a perverted sadist, but I have always misunderstood you."

"Please, please let me call you big brother, instructor!"

……

Really couldn't stand this group of overly enthusiastic guys, Lesta yelled: "Get out of here, are you disgusting?"

The result of this battle was very satisfactory. Except for Leesta who was seriously injured, the rest of the injured were only slightly injured outside the skin, and there was no serious problem.Coupled with the joy of repelling the enemy, this place became extremely lively for a while.

"Sol!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Saul looked back and saw Kafir, who was wearing a priest's robe, running from the town, followed by several girls recruited by the town to be her nurses.

"Kaffir, why are you here?" Saul asked strangely.

"The wounded sent by Chip just now seemed to be scratched by zombies. I was worried so I came over to have a look... Oh my God, what's going on here!" Suddenly, Kafir noticed the burning forest and the everywhere. In a mess, I couldn't help but exclaimed.

Sol waved his hand: "I'll explain this to you later. How are they doing?"

Kafir nodded: "I treated it with healing techniques, and then applied herbs, and it's no longer a serious problem. What happened here?"

Sol smiled wryly, and pulled her over: "Don't talk about that, let's heal Brother Lista."

Seeing Lesta leaning against the tree covered in blood, Kafir hurried up to check his wounds without caring about anything else.Fortunately, Lesta's skin is thick and fleshy, and he is in a strong body. After such a blow, his life is not in danger.

Although his profession is a battle priest, Kafir is also quite proficient in healing techniques. He used to be a part-time doctor in the death group.After healed Lesta to stop the bleeding, he applied herbal medicine, and a girl who acted as a nurse came over to bandage his wound.

Seeing Lesta's injury stabilized, Kafir was also relieved.When she stood up, she realized that there were still many wounded people around.The guys in the defense team are naturally not as careful as the girls. They just roughly bandage their wounds and stop the bleeding.

Frowning slightly, Kafir said loudly: "All the injured come here for treatment. I can tell you that the claws of the zombies contain toxins. If the wounds become inflamed, it will be troublesome."

The field, which was quite lively just now, suddenly became quiet.Just when Kafir wondered what was wrong with his words, suddenly all the defensive players rushed over.

"Miss Kafir, treat me first!"

"Comfort my injured body with your white and tender little hands."

"Just now the instructor recognized me as my younger brother, let me call you older sister..."

Surrounded by this group of wolves and tigers, the girls were overwhelmed with fright.

"Sol, take care of these guys, Sol, Sol? Are you still laughing..." Kafir yelled anxiously.

"My lord, many townspeople were awakened and came to ask what happened." At this moment, a guard hurried over and said to Sol.

After making such a big commotion, it finally alarmed the residents of the town.But it must not cause panic at this time, otherwise before the necromancers attack, they will start to mess up.

Before Sol could speak, Jessica nodded: "Leave it to me."

Saul understood what she meant, and there was really no better person to comfort the townspeople than Jessica.He turned his head, and it happened that Jessica was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other, everything was said without saying anything.

"Please." Saul smiled.

Following him, he turned his head and told a guard: "Lance, take a few people to help Miss Jessica maintain order."

The defender nodded, and quickly summoned a few people.Before leaving, Jessica whispered in Sol's ear: "Don't let them rush into the town, otherwise I won't let you go. Also...be careful."

Sol was stunned, and Jessica had already left. He touched his ears, and there were still echoes of Yiren's whispers and Rulan's breath fragrance...

"Okay, okay, cheer me up, you'll be busy next time." Sol patted his cheeks and walked towards the defenders.

**********************************************************************************
"Master, Master."

"Huh?" Sol opened his eyes in a daze, and Marlene's pretty face came into his eyes.

"What, is it dawn?" He turned over and sat up on the ground.

"Master, you must have been exhausted last night. I brought you food." Marlene took out snacks and morning tea from the basket she was carrying and handed them to him.

Sol was really hungry after working most of the night last night.Hearing the words, he was not polite, he took it and started chewing.Marlene happily squatted beside him, watching him gobble it up.

After a few mouthfuls of snacks stuffed into his stomach, Sol gulped down half a pot of morning tea, and then sighed comfortably: "It's so cool, my little Marlene is the best."

Marlene took the plate with a blushing face, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "As long as the young master likes it, I'm not as capable as sister Jessica, so I can only take care of you in these small things."

"I'm very happy, I've said it all, I like to eat what you cook the most." Sol patted her face with a smile.The shy look of the little girl is so cute, if it wasn't for the inappropriate time and place, when there was no one here, Sol really wanted to hug her up and kiss her.

"Go back, too, it's dangerous here." Thor quickly suppressed the evil thoughts that were about to move.

Unaware of the dirty thoughts in Sol's heart at the moment, Marlene nodded obediently: "I see, I'll go back after everyone finishes eating."

"Everyone? Did you deliver food to them too?" Saul asked strangely.

Marlene made a small mouth, quite proudly: "I guess you must not be able to take care of breakfast, so you made a lot of food last night and sent it over. Everyone is very happy."

Not long after the enemy retreated last night, Sol's upper and lower eyelids began to fight. For him who is lazy by nature, as long as there is a chance to be lazy, he will never let it go.The subordinates have long been used to this lazy lord, so they simply set up a tent and let him sleep, and Kress and Chip will arrange the rest.

When the tent was opened, a gust of cold wind blew, and Sol couldn't help sneezing.

I don't know when, the sky began to rain lightly, and the world was shrouded in a hazy rain.The drizzle extinguished the fire in the woods, and the still-burnt black trunks stood under the hazy sky, as if witnessing the battle last night.

But at this moment, the surroundings are full of excitement.

"Fall!" With Manson's rough shout, several big trees fell at the same time, making a loud bang.

The members of the engineering team rushed forward immediately, skillfully chopped off the branches and leaves, and cut off the crown of the tree.Two puppets acted as porters, dragging the heavy tree trunk aside, where a team of workers quickly sharpened the wood to form a triangular, movable fence.

At the front of the sentry post, under the roar of Leesta, the recruits worked hard to dig the trench, piled the soil to the front to form an earth wall, and the periphery of the wall was filled with sharpened branches.

Some defenders drove the carriages and brought in the oil, stones, wood and other things needed for the defense.The blacksmiths in the technical department over there set up two simple blacksmith shops, started the furnace on the spot, and started tinkling to build the equipment needed for defense.

The defensive work was completely rolled out in just half a night. I have to say that Sol really has a capable subordinate.In comparison, he, the lord, is completely unconscious.

At this moment, a group of guards who had breakfast found Marlene, and immediately gathered around them laughing and joking: "Miss Marlene, we have never realized that the food you make is so delicious."

"That's right, it's almost catching up with Miss Julie's craftsmanship."

Facing the compliments from this group of young people, Marlene just giggled and laughed.All along, this little girl has been troubled by the fact that she can't help much. Now everyone's praise makes her finally feel that she is useful, and she can't help being elated.

Saul watched it from the sidelines and felt emotional.He and Jessica had always treated Marlene as a child, but ignored her own feelings. Seeing the smile on Marlene's face that he hadn't seen for a long time, he knew that the little girl had grown up.

grown ups?Hehehe, I just don't know if my lovely little Marlene has grown into an adult...

"My lord!" Just as Thor's thoughts deviated from the track, a cry woke him up.

Looking back, I saw Jessica standing with Kress, Chip and others on the side of the camp, waving to him.Wiping off his sweat secretly, Sol asked Marlene a few words before running over.

"Are you awake?" Jessica glared at him.

After a night of sleepless nights, the girl was still refreshed.In fact, except for Sol, the unscrupulous lord, none of the people present had closed their eyes.

"Haha..." Sol knew he was doing his own thing, so he could only laugh a few times.

"By the way, Jessica, send Marlene to Aunt Maisie, and ask her to help." To avoid embarrassment, he took the initiative to change the subject.

"Why?" Jessica was stunned.

Pointing back, Sol said, "Look at Marlene, she hasn't been this happy for a long time."

"Hmm..." Jessica nodded thoughtfully, "I see."

"How's the situation in the town?" Taking a look at everyone, Sol knew it was time to talk about business.

Jessica nodded: "Everyone is calm and there is no panic. Many people came to help spontaneously, so there should be no accident."

Saul asked again, "What about the other two places?"

Kress said: "The enemies in the west and north retreated at the same time last night, and they are safe now."

Relieved by the two good news, Sol turned to Chip: "What's the current situation of the enemy?"

Chip still had the calm expression of thousands of years: "I have sent people out. At present, the enemy has retreated about 3 kilometers and is hiding behind a hill. Frans is continuing to monitor."

"Have you found the leader?" Saul asked.

Chip shook his head: "It's difficult, the other party is very cunning, has not shown up, and can't get too close, my people can only cruise around the periphery."

Although he had guessed this would happen, Saul was still a little disappointed.He pondered: "Although we have given them a big blow, our strength is still too weak, so we can't go on like this."

"Yes, after our discussion just now, we also believe that we must ask for reinforcements as soon as possible." Jessica also said.

Chip frowned: "But the number of enemies is still overwhelming, and the way in and out is completely blocked. In addition, I don't know their details, so it may be difficult to rush out."

Sol had already planned for this, he patted his chest: "It won't work on the ground, it can be done from the air."

"You mean the winged horse?" Jessica was the first to react.

Sol nodded and said: "Yes, riding a winged horse, you can reach the nearest territory in a day. As long as you hurry up, reinforcements can arrive in at most three days."

This remark made several people feel excited. As we all know, necromancers have almost no air strike capability. Even if they seal the ground like an iron barrel, they can easily break through the encirclement from the air.

As for the reinforcements, it is even less of a problem.Not to mention that Sol is the earl who has just made great achievements. Just because their territory is under the siege of the undead army, the other lords cannot sit idly by, otherwise they will be accused of "indulging the undead to invade the country" afterwards, and they will bear the responsibility. Sorry.

"Since this is the case, there is no need to delay, Lord Lord, let's go." Chip said.

"But if I leave, your side..." Thor hesitated.

"Don't worry, with me here, even a skeleton won't be able to attack." Kress assured confidently.

Jessica also said: "Only if you go in person, Lord Lord, can you find reinforcements smoothly."

"That's good." Sol stopped talking nonsense: "I will definitely bring reinforcements as soon as possible."

Not long after, Kress led someone to lead Sol's winged horse.Many people saw this magical creature for the first time, and many townspeople who came to help looked here curiously.

Nestled next to its master, the winged horse arched Sol's body affectionately with its head.This spiritual creature seemed to know that he was about to complete a major mission.

Turning on the horse, Sol patted the winged horse's slender neck, "Please this time, let's fly!"

With a neighing sound, the winged horse fluttered its wings under everyone's gaze, and flew gently into the drizzled sky.

"Sol, be careful." Jessica murmured as she watched the white figure gradually go away.
