There are more and more undead in Ms. Fujile's Inn.
Fang Plover didn't even know where these things came from. As if out of thin air, they poured in from outside the walls in all directions and appeared in front of them.
The position formed by several halberdiers in front was in turmoil. They tried their best but could not stop the number of ghost "guests" and "waiters" that were several times their number. A sharp claw penetrated the thigh of one of them, causing that person to bleed. He knelt down on the ground, and then several hands reached out from the front in no particular order, grabbed his hair and arms and dragged him out.
In the blink of an eye, it was submerged in the ghosts, and only a shrill scream remained. Even the screams gradually became fainter and were covered up by the hoarse and strange screams of the undead.
And Fang Plover's three fortress-like walkers happened to appear at this moment——
He raised his right hand with the control glove slightly, from left to right, pointing his fingertips at the undead. The 'fortresses' all stood in unison, opened their supports backwards, and at the same time fired a golden line between the groups of ghosts. of fire.
Wherever you can see it, you can see the amazing effect——
The ghost 'guests' in front all fell down in a row. Fang Plover glanced at the data - the level of ordinary ghosts was slightly higher than that of skeletons, but it was not enough to break the defense. In this narrow space, the effect of this round of shooting was actually Even better than last night.
"Ed, you?" Hansen looked at him with big eyes and small eyes, and asked in surprise: "Are you a combat craftsman from the Chosen Guild?"
Because of Fang Plover's joining, the pressure on the front line suddenly eased, and most of the others turned around and looked at him with some confusion.
The few young people who were eager to cause trouble because of Sylvester now buried their heads, pretending that Fang Plover couldn't see them.
Although Fang Plover really didn't care.
Even the unsociable scholar raised his head and glanced thoughtfully at the silver mask on Fang Plover's face. But Fang Yu didn't have time to chat with these people about this issue.
He simply said: "Mr. Hansen, have your men retreat while fighting."
"Retreat? Retreat to where?" Hansen is also considered a veteran. He immediately understood the priorities and asked directly without hesitation.
"I used the Clockwork Goblin to scout the corridor behind me. There is a window at the end, and we can go out from there."
Hansen questioned: "A window? There are thirty or forty of us plus you. I'm afraid it will be too late to get out from there."
Fang Yu shook his head: "Believe me, it will be possible in time."
Hansen had something to say, but he looked at the two Knights of the Dawn who were surrounded by his men, running rampant like they were in no man's land, and finally sighed.
"Okay, but what about those two guys?" He pointed at each other and asked.
"Leave it to me." Fang Yu was confident. He turned around and said to the Papalars: "Parker, twine the arrow." In fact, when the three 'fortresses' appeared from the hotel gate, he gave the order to the Papalars. After passing the order, the latter has been tinkering with his war weapon crossbow in the back.
Jita couldn't help but be slightly startled when she saw what the Papalar people had prepared, and asked softly: "Brother Ed, is this the example of Silver Vislan's battle against the Tip of Thebes?"
Fang Yu looked at her in surprise: "You know?"
Jita nodded slightly.
"I'm ready!" Parker shouted quickly. At this moment, the little man finally opened the bipod of his crossbow, propped it on the ground, and fully opened the bow arm, almost like a small crossbow. Like a cannon.
He held the ballista with both hands, somewhat comically, and struggled to aim it in the smoke-filled hall.
In Aitaria, the abilities of warriors come from the weapons in their hands - combat tools, and the magic furnace behind them - the core crystal, and the 'skills' and 'knowledge' they master often revolve around the combat tools. Functionally expanded.
Just like this moment.
Parker deployed the 'cannon' form of the magic crossbow, which was also an important basic skill for the crossbowman. It sacrificed the shooter's agility attribute in exchange for increased hit points and power.
His new magic bow is called 'Disaster'. This name that sounds very domineering is actually a very popular crossbow at this level. It usually refers to the Ithurian 'Forge' workshop 'Fehu- III' is an improved version among the selectors. After improving the more stable output crystal, it has become a "famous bow" that is passed down by word of mouth among the selectors.
His original magic bow was lost during the battle with the Weevil Beetle. Later, he picked up an ordinary crossbow and used it for a while at Traveler's Rest. Without the magic bow, he once lost his magic bow during the battle with the Rock Shark. He can only use ammunition skills. Therefore, after arriving at El Paxin, at the strong request of the Papalar people, Attila replaced him with a new crossbow.
This bow is not expensive, with a market price of more than 10,000 lisels. Don't compare it with Fang Plover's Kingfisher αAE Magic Furnace. Even the sum of four walkers will exceed it several times.
Therefore, the Papalar people have been complaining privately that Miss Elf is a partialist.
Controlling the magic bow in the form of a cannon requires certain strength attributes of the shooter. Obviously, the Papalar race is naturally biased towards perception and dexterity, and strength is their weakness.
So Parker looked a little clumsy when using this 'big thing'. He had to raise his two short hands high to hold it up. It looked absolutely ridiculous, which is why Fang Plover had doubted before that someone would choose the Papalar race.
If it were a pure thief profession, Nightingale, then it would be easier to say——
However, Parker can be regarded as a strange flower in the world of crossbowmen. Although it was difficult, he quickly shook the handle, pulled the bow string, and then pulled the trigger.
At this moment, three 'fortresses' were passing through the diffuse smoke.
Since they appeared from the direction of the hotel gate, they inevitably had to pass through the area controlled by the Dawn Knight. Fang Plover understood that among the two undead Dawn Knights attacking in this direction, the first one was probably seriously injured by Siesta. Even if he had not died for a while, it would be difficult to regain his combat effectiveness.
But the other one just hit the wind wall and was hit by Miss Sylvide before temporarily retreating, so it should be fine. His three 'fortress' walkers are very lethal to ordinary ghost guests and waiters, and are his trump card to open the way.
But if they faced the Knights of the Morning, even if they were three against one, they would be dismantled into a pile of parts in minutes.
So Parker must make sure to keep their attention.
As the bow string vibrated, it made a sharp buzzing sound, and the huge recoil force almost knocked the Papalar man away and sat down on the ground. The two short spears mounted on the heavy crossbow flew straight out and hit the ceiling in that direction.
"Miss Attila, divide the battlefield."
This was not the first time that the elf girl cooperated with Parker. With a nod and a flick of her hand, the huge vine roots flew towards the center of the hall like a giant python, but her target was not the two Dawn Knights on the other side - after losing Under the premise of suddenness, she couldn't help such a high-level undead.
Her target is Hansen's Iron Guard.
"Mr. Hansen, tell them not to move!" Fang Yu immediately reminded.
Hansen was stunned for a moment, but he still passed on the order: "Don't move, don't resist!"
In the center of the hall, two Dawn Knights, one on the left and one on the right, easily avoided the elf girl's sweeping vines, while the iron guards were swept aside because they stopped midway.
It was at this time that Parker's crossbow bolt hit the ceiling of the hall, with a soft bang, and a large pale silver net fell from the mid-air there.
He was impartial, just avoiding the iron guard who was swept away, and caught the two Dawn Knights.
The strength of the skill 'Tangle Arrow' depends on the attack power. When Parker's magic bow is in cannon form, its C-level skill level allows him to convert every point of agility into a 10% increase in power or hit points. With his thirty-seven points of agility, even if he converts half of it, it is enough to increase the actual attack power. More than doubled.
Under such circumstances, controlling the two Knights of the Dawn for a moment was nothing more than a piece of cake.
But as a result, the direction leading to the hotel door was tightly sealed. Just because of the perfect control, Fang Plover's three walkers were just at the edge of the "Twining Arrow" envelope after entering the hotel.
Under Fang Plover's control, they all turned towards the direction with the most undead, and began to pour firepower as they advanced. Since the hall is relatively narrow, the impact of the ghost immediately slowed down.
Although he was still not out of danger, Hansen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this scene, and quickly asked the iron guards who were out of the battle to retreat to protect the gunslingers and archers.
The suppressive firepower of archers and crossbowmen is difficult to use within a narrow range, while gunners rely heavily on the protection of melee teammates when using continuous fire and heavy firepower. But as soon as the Iron Guards shrank back, the output density of the gunslingers immediately increased to a higher level, and they quickly replaced Fang Plover's fortress-like walkers as the main force.
Fang Plover was also happy to have some free time. He quickly gathered his walkers back and changed their ammunition chains with Tianlan and Jita.
This is also the troublesome part of the fortress-style walker - when fighting on a platform, although the bullet consumption is large, there is always a steady supply of replenishment. He can control the clockwork goblin to change ammunition for it by himself, but in the wild, bullets cannot be piled up somewhere waiting for him to pick them up. They can only be dispersed and carried on everyone's body, and the replacement is much slower.
Everyone fought back and retreated into the corridor according to Fang Plover's instructions.
Fang Yu silently observed the fighting methods of some ghosts - they were indeed very different from traditional ghosts. In this illusion, although these 'guests' were ghosts in name, they could even be seen occasionally. Walking through walls like a real spirit.
But most of the time, they seem to be bound by a rule in this illusion, and their every move behaves more like a 'normal person'. He has seen videos of guilds fighting the undead. The most troublesome thing about ghosts is their non-physical existence, which makes them unpredictable and unpredictable.
Fang Yu vaguely felt that this was also due to the limitations of the illusion itself——
As Sylvide said, Dollifen's vision is a huge obsession, it seems obsessed with what it wants the people participating in this adventure to see. And these ghosts living in this illusion - the former residents of Dolifen who were bound by the illusion, may not realize this themselves.
Do these ghosts know that they are dead?
The more he thought about it, the weirder he felt, and today's mission seemed to be unreasonable. Not only did they not get the brooch, they also didn't see the plot characters that were supposed to appear. Logically speaking, they should be considered to have not triggered the mission, but they were inexplicably attacked by these undead.
Fang Plover was a little undecided for a moment, whether this was due to the changes caused by Parker's little butterfly wings in the afternoon, or whether this place had become like this since the wave of undead last night.
He couldn't help but look back at Hu Di and asked, "Hu Di, have you been here all this time?"
Hu Di still seemed to be in a state of wandering. In fact, he had been like this since the beginning. Fang Yu saw that his face was pale and he looked distracted, and he thought that the other person was worried about his cat, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, I think Miss Spoon will be fine."
"Miss Spoon, you want to..." Hu Di was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing and nodded quickly: "I... Of course I understand, but I'm always a little worried. I really don't know what to do with Dolifen's behavior now. It’s better to do it.”
"Dollifan like this?"
Hu Di looked melancholy at the ghosts that kept pouring out from the end of the corridor, colliding with the iron guards blocking the way, and then sighed. "These undead people are pouring out from nowhere. They have been like this for the past few days. This place is no longer suitable for the living."
"Do you know anything, Hu Di?" Fang Pliong asked.
Hu Di shook his head nervously.
Fang Yu could only give up when he saw this, but Hu Di's words reminded him that Dolifen looked like this for a long time. The commotion of the undead in the ruins was not related to the Dragon Worshipers. What are the connections between the activities of believers.
It was at this time that the team finally reached the end of the corridor.
There was a glimmer of light in the darkness, and Fang Plover raised his hand and took back one of the clockwork fairies. At this time, Hansen came back from the front and said to him: "What to do next, Brother Ed, we are coming to the end soon. They can't give us a chance to leave one by one through the window - unless, unless we lose People who have broken off.”
This is not a problem with a solution.
Since most people in Aitaria can be resurrected, it is not unthinkable for them to stay and break up during a battle or encounter. At this moment, Fang Plover's performance also made Hansen even more impressed, and his tone couldn't help but become a little more friendly.
Fang Luo glanced back. He was only a hundred feet away from the other end of the corridor. Through the dark corridor, he could clearly see the window at the other end. He turned back and replied simply:
"Let the trainers leave first, then Mr. Hansen and your people, I will break up--"
But he didn't finish his words.
There was a sharp sound from the other end of the corridor, and everyone's vision blurred slightly. Before they had time to see clearly what happened, an iron guard blocking the front flew up.
There was a loud bang, and the man finally stopped after knocking down seven or eight people.
When everyone turned around, they saw that the iron guard lying in the crowd had a blood-red spear stuck in his tower shield. After the spear penetrated the two-inch-thick shield, he and another archer were nailed directly. On the ground, the two of them looked like they would not survive.
When Hansen saw this scene, he suddenly closed his mouth.
"Brother Ed!" Tian Lan shouted anxiously - those Dawn Knights are back again. Isn't it just asking for death to leave Duan Hou at this time?
But Fang Yu didn't even look at the little French girl, and only said to Aitila: "Miss Aitila."
The elf girl nodded to him, walked over to open the window, and then grabbed the struggling Tianlan. "Let me go!" Tian Lan yelled anxiously, but Aitila had no intention of paying attention to her, and just dragged her and left with Jita.
Parker was stunned. The little man looked at Aitila who was leaving, and then at Fang Plover, looking a little hesitant.
"Are you ready over there?" Fang Yu asked him.
The Papalar nodded quickly.
"Then you also leave first."
The latter felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly followed him.
Then there was Sylvide. The noble girl looked at him while supporting her maid, and asked: "Do you need me to stay and help you?"
"No need."
"Then be careful, but you can be resurrected anyway, so I don't have to worry about you breaking the contract."
"Miss Sylvide..."
Sylvide smiled slightly before leaving with Siesta.
Fang Plover turned his eyes to Dict again, but the older knight didn't look at him at all. He only stood beside him with his sword in his hand. Fang Yu shook his head when he saw this. He knew that the other party was the knight of Malan. It was impossible to escape at this time. Even if he had to leave, he would not leave him alone.
He didn't talk nonsense to the other party. He just turned around and lined up his 'fortress', and let two of them start firing into the corridor with full firepower. At this juncture, he no longer saved bullets. The two lines of fire intertwined into a fire net, and the ghosts in front fell to the ground one after another.
But further away, he could see a patch of flying sparks, which seemed to form a tall outline - the outline was getting closer and closer, and Fang Plover knew that it was the Knight of the Dawn.
Fang Plover couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, the other party threw the spear out, otherwise it would be him flying now.
At this moment, Hansen's people also began to leave in an orderly manner.
First came the long archers and gunners. After they all cast admiring glances at the young man, they bowed and left one by one.
Finally, there are the halberd bearers, but these young people are still hesitant and look at each other - in their understanding, combat craftsmen are often the core of a team, and due to their own relatively low combat effectiveness Weak, so they are often the targets of people's protection.
Generally speaking, it was warriors like them who stayed to cut off the queen for others, and they were a little uncomfortable with having an alchemist with little protection do it for them.
"Ed," Hansen couldn't help but said, "How about you leave first."
But Fang Yu shook his head. "No need, leave it to me."
Hansen glanced at him, and to be honest, he felt a little regretful when he said those words. He was also afraid that Fang Plover would take advantage of the situation and agree. If they stayed, plus the people who had lost before, the losses in this adventure would be huge.
However, he was still a little apologetic, and nodded to Fang Plover before making a gesture to the others. After hesitating for a while, the halberdiers finally chose to save themselves and left the position one by one.
At this time, Fang Yu allowed the other two Walkers to join in the shooting sequence, which more than made up for the loss in firepower density after the others left.
But he also knew in his heart that this situation would not last long.
He looked back and saw that almost everyone had reached the other end of the corridor. Tianlan was still shouting to him from there: "Brother Ed, we are all here, come here quickly!"
Then Fang Plover turned back to Dict and said, "Let's go too."
"Let's go?" The older knight held the giant sword in his hand and stared at the Dawn Knight getting closer and closer in the corridor. He was about to prepare for a fight to the death, but he couldn't help but be startled after hearing Fang Plover's words. Leaving now? Is there something wrong with this young man's mind?
Even if they want to leave, will those Dawn Knights let them go easily?
But after Fang Yu said this, he didn't even look behind him. He just turned around and closed the magic furnace behind him with his backhand. The four walkers paused in unison, and the core crystal inside their structure dimmed at the same time.
The fire net disappeared.
Almost at the same moment, there was a dull sound of footsteps in the corridor. Dickert turned around and saw a striking red light coming towards the end of the dark corridor.
The Dawn Knight is accelerating his charge. This scene looks so familiar——
"Ah--" Tian Lan was so frightened that she almost screamed when she saw this scene. She waved her hands vigorously, trying to remind Fang Yu that there was an enemy behind her. Next to the little French girl, on the magic furnace behind Parker, the delay plug-in suddenly bounced with a click, and the reed representing the timer bounced back to its original position.
The Papalars were startled and looked back quickly.
There was a low roar.
Everyone felt a slight vibration under their feet, like a muffled thunderous sound coming from beneath the surface. The ground of the hotel almost surged like a wave, bulging upward slightly.
Then there was a loud bang, and in Tian Lan's surprised eyes, the entire corridor sank at a certain point. The ground cracked and sank, and from far to near, all the ghosts in that direction sank together with the soil in pieces.
Finally, there is the Dawn Knight who keeps running forward.
Opposition jumped back and forth several times on the raised floor. Unfortunately, it was not an agility professional when it was alive, let alone now. The sky guard finally collapsed and fell from above. The fiery red cloak was in the darkness. Flashed, then disappeared.
The collapsed ground continues forward.
Until the walkers are swallowed up one by one.
The crack extended all the way behind Fang Plover and stopped in front of Dict.
At the edge of the fault layer, rocks rolled down with a click, frightening the older knight to take a step back, as if he was afraid of following in the footsteps of the Dawn Knight.
And Fang Yu breathed out lightly, and his back was already covered in cold sweat. The power of the explosion was larger than he expected - but luckily, he stepped on the solid ground, thinking that he had not made a big mistake. son. Otherwise, if you get yourself into a trap, you will be in great disgrace.
He exhaled and then continued to move forward.
"Ah——" Tianlan screamed: "What's going on?"
Not just him, everyone looked at this scene with some surprise. Only Jita still seemed very calm. She whispered: "It's the underground level."
Tian Lan was slightly startled: "Underground level?"
"The battle between Silver Vislan and the Tip of Thebes Brigade on Mount Covenant. Loofah used clockwork goblins to blow up the basement of the Crystal Castle and completely annihilated the Tip of Thebes Brigade. Sister Fuli should still remember it. Bar?"
"ah--!"
…
