Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 172 Church Bells
Stannis raised his head and observed the castle hall again, and found that the reason why it was so dark was that all the windows had been blocked, not only to block the sunlight but also the sound, he pushed a blocked window open, In an instant, the cold wind from the outside of the castle rushed in with the whistling sound.

"Look, that's Viscount Klaus!" Seaworth shouted, pointing at the pile of corpses. Following the direction of his fingers, Stannis saw the top of the pile of skulls piled up like a pyramid. There was a head cut off by a sharp blade, and only half of the head was wrapped with a black humorous gold badge to symbolize his identity before his death.

Wayne walked over, he frowned, because the smell of blood in the air became stronger.He knelt down to retrieve it, "It seems that the people of the Claus family are here, the baron, the baroness, his three underage children and all the soldiers under his command, but where are the servants? They won't be the ones making trouble Doing such a cruel thing and then fleeing in fear of crime, and the villagers in the village are hesitant and afraid of taking responsibility for the crime, so they also fled one after another?"

Seaworth nodded to accept this explanation. What he needs now is not what the truth is, but a reason to reply to the serving master so that he can turn to the Duke.

But Stannis, who knew the truth, didn't think so. He didn't want these people to die in peace, so he took a step forward, "I said, actually, I think the people who did this kind of thing are..."

Before he could finish speaking, a distant bell suddenly came from the pushed open window, which came from outside the castle, and through the tone, it could be heard that it was the bell of that church!

The four people exchanged glances. When they came in just now, they clearly checked that there was no one in the church, so who is it that is ringing the bell now?And why in this deserted village!
Without the slightest hesitation, with Robert at the head, the four of them ran towards the gate of the castle at the same time. On the way, except for Stannis who was still carrying the broken knee pickaxe because it was too heavy, the rest of them drew their weapons one after another. Who did it, they all need to catch him and ask everything.

Stannis took a long breath, and ran out of the dark red corridor with his eyes closed. Afterwards, the clear sunlight made him feel reborn after breathing fresh air. At the same time, he immediately looked into the opposite church , found that the copper bell hanging in the tower was shaking violently, the sound from inside made people irritated, and a restlessness like a beast spread throughout his body, this feeling made him suddenly want to kill someone!
Stannis shook his head quickly, forcing back the desire to kill in his heart. He took a sneak look at the others, and found that the faces of the three were still stern.

And on the branch of a huge dead tree next to the church, the raven that had been circling stopped on it at this time, and it also held back its cry, as if something big was about to happen.

At this time, the small door of a house that was also sealed tightly on their left opened, and a man ran out from inside.

It turns out there are still people in the village!It's just why he didn't come out just now, what is this guy afraid of?
"Hey, you! What the hell happened!" Stannis yelled to the person running past him, but the guy didn't respond to him. Stannis wanted to catch him, but found that the guy looked like a wandering spirit. ran straight for the church.

"What's going on here?" Stannis yelled strangely, but everyone else was watching the guy run into the church, as if they knew something was going to happen.

A second after the guy stepped through the door of the church, there came from inside the most horrific cry that Stannis had never heard, as if the guy was being torn apart...

Afterwards, the whole village returned to dead silence, except that the bell was still ringing, or the next person stepped into it.

This mournful long cry made Stannis, who was far away from the church, chill in his heart. He had never heard such a distorted howl from a human being, as if his soul had been sucked out.

The remaining three people exchanged glances, and they all believed that everything that happened had something to do with the church, and the bell sounded weird, if they hadn’t been strong enough, they would have been attracted in, the instigator of all this Definitely hiding in it.

Robert took the lead in launching the attack. Holding the long sword he bought on credit from the blacksmith Dazi at the entrance of the village, he was the first to rush to the church, but before stepping into it, he felt a dangerous aura coming, so a handsome single stood on the ground 180 He turned and rolled to avoid the sudden attack.

Stannis wanted to applaud him for this difficult maneuver, but what happened next made his applause swallowed back.

Two sickle-like bone blades swept past the place where Robert was standing. Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise he would have been cut in two.

Then a shambling humanoid emerged from the darkness, its movements so incoordinated that it looked like an embodied puppet being manipulated.But Stannis recognized at a glance that it was the wildling they caught last time in the Black Forest. The guy hasn't completely mutated yet and still has his head left. It can be seen that it is the person who was attracted by the bell and ran in just now.

Although Stannis and Robert hadn't been too shocked after seeing this weird creature, the rest of Seaworth and Wayne were different, even though their reaction was not as strong as that of the cowardly lord last time, But the shock is still palpable, and it seems that it will not recover in a short time.

And this is the desired effect of this "scythe monster". It raised two bone blades or sickles and rushed towards the two people who were standing still. It was still extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, its two deadly weapons were about to fall.

"Carrot, protect them!"

By now, Stannis had to make a move. He, who was closest to them, had no time to take off the pickaxe, but took the lead in drawing out his sword and slashing at the scythe monster. It seemed that the vigilance of this monster was not very strong until the blade slashed It didn't react until it entered the arm, and although it struggled to pull it back, it was too late, and one of the monster's sickles had been chopped off by Stannis's blade.But the latter was also uncomfortable. He didn't expect the mutated femur to be so hard. Not only was his arm numb from the reaction force, even the blade of his sword was curled up after being cut!
