Copperfield's face was so gloomy that he could shed water, and he growled: "Craig, why didn't you tell us such important news earlier? Do you know how many more villagers this delay has harmed?"
Craigie couldn't help but defended: "From the beginning, our suspicion direction was fixed on the Mage Tower of Good Luck Fang. We suspected that it was the red-robed mage or those drow elves who did it. We did not go to Cormanso Tower at all. Thinking above the forest.
What's more, the cave was trampled down by the wild boar. We only glanced at it a few times and didn't go deep. Who would think of it? If Mr. Gavin hadn't asked about it, I wouldn't have remembered it. I was not the only one present. How could they not have remembered it? "
"They can't remember it. That's a matter of course, but you are different. You are their leader and you should notice all the unusual things." Copperfield's execution was obvious to his son and ordinary soldiers and villagers. Double standards, just shout out, you are Copperfield's son, you should bear more.
Seeing that Craigie wanted to retort, Regina hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Now is not the time to hold people accountable. The most important thing is to determine who the enemy is and how to successfully rescue the villagers."
"careful."
"Get away!"
Zhizhi!
A thick black cloud burst out of the dense forest of Cormanso.
Gavin, who had been riding closely behind the dog demon, was the first to bear the brunt.
But before the dark clouds could reach him, they dispersed faster.
A dazzling light emitted from Gavin, and the second before the dark clouds rushed out, he had already finished putting on his armor, with a crown shield in one hand and a revolver cannon in the other.
The light emitted from the battle armor revealed every detail of the dark clouds. It was a group of bats, abnormally fat vampire bats with blood-red eyes and exposed fangs.
If you are wrapped in this cloud of vampire bats, even a warrior will be disabled or disabled.
The light emanating from the battle armor is the nemesis of this creature.
Caught off guard, the sudden burst of light blinded many of them.
Although bats do not rely on their eyes to see, they still inevitably panic when they suddenly become blind, disrupting the entire cloud of vampire bats, not caring about attacking others, and trying to pull up quickly.
Just because they want to run away doesn't mean Gavin will let them go easily.
Crystal cluster.
With the finger of the revolver cannon, the entire gun body lit up as spiritual energy was injected into it, especially the crystal pendant in the lower half of the barrel. Mysterious spiritual patterns flowed on it, and countless silver stars gathered quickly, turning into tiny, The finely divided material, not much bigger than a grain of rice, was blasted out overwhelmingly.
This is no longer the improved version of the crystal cluster that Gavin used to use spiritual crystals before.
But in a real sense, it is a crystal cluster that extracts ectoplasm from the star realm.
The crystal cluster amplified by the revolver cannon is still slightly weaker than the improved version Gavin spent money on.
But it doesn’t cost anything, it only requires energy points, and it doesn’t hurt every time you use it.
The crystal cluster has once again proven through actual combat that it was previously ineffective against floating spirit groups. That is because the enemy is too special and is frighteningly powerful against material clusters.
The cloud of vampire bats trying to escape was like dumplings, falling in large pieces, at least forty or fifty.
The remaining vampire bat cloud, without waiting for Gavin's second attack, returned to the Cormanzo Forest and disappeared into the darkness.
If it weren't for the large number of fat bats that kept flapping and screaming on the ground, one couldn't help but suspect that everything that just happened was an illusion.
Most of the vampire bats shot down by the crystal cluster were injured but not dead. Compared with hitting their bodies, it was more likely to hit their broad fleshy wings.
Gavin turned over and dismounted, trampling two vampire bats that were still full of ferocity and trying to attack him into a pulp. He pinched the two severely injured flesh wings and lifted them up like a chicken, observing them carefully for a few seconds. Said: "It is indeed a mutated vampire bat."
Copperfield's face had become extremely ugly and he said: "So, the culprit for the large number of missing people in our village is a vampire?"
A large number of abducted humans.
Silently charming humans.
Wherever it passes, the plants wither.
Vampire bats are out and about.
A series of information merged together, and the direction has become very clear.
"Yes." Gavin nodded, "It's not just a vampire, it's probably an elf vampire. A hungry vampire who has just been awakened. A normal vampire doesn't need so much blood. Now there's a question to explain. It doesn’t make sense, vampires usually prey directly, so why bother taking people away?”
Gavin did not dwell on this issue for too long, but glanced at everyone and continued: "If we are facing one or a group of vampires, so many of us will not become a kind of vampire." If you don’t help, it will become a trouble.”
Copperfield obviously knew something about vampires and nodded in agreement: "Yes, the vampire's ability to dominate will make us fall into chaos and internal fighting. To deal with this group of bloodthirsty monsters, we should adopt elite tactics to keep them all here." , a few of us went in to explore the situation."
"General Copperfield stays, Miss Regina and I, plus my servants, are enough." Gavin rejected Copperfield's proposal.
The reason for excluding Copperfield is not that his combat power is not strong enough. On the contrary, it is because he is too powerful and he dare not take him.
Gavin was very aware of the shortcomings of warriors, and he didn't want his powerful warriors to become the first hurdle he had to overcome when encountering a vampire.
"The affairs of our village are completely up to you to take risks..." Of course Copperfield knew that he was not in an advantage when facing a vampire, but he was so sad at this point that it was difficult for him to sit here and wait.
Gavin said solemnly: "They are not only the general's villagers, but also my compatriots. I will do my best to ensure their safety. Besides, we are only going to investigate and further verify the situation. If it is really necessary If we go deep into the lair and face a vampire, our current preparations alone are not enough, we also need to find corresponding reinforcements."
Speaking of reinforcements, the first thing Gavin thought of was not Lord Virginia, but Darnell.
This extraordinary paladin is specialized in dealing with vampires.
Regina agreed from the side and said: "Village Chief, we also need someone to look after us here. Once vampire servants rush out, we need your help to solve it. If we really have a problem inside, I don't want the village chief to take care of us." Instead of rushing to the rescue, use the fastest speed to go to the Don Hills in Taser Valley and seek help from the paladins of the Hammer of Justice Monastery."
The bard lady had clearly arranged her escape route.
"Okay." Copperfield took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
In fact, he also knew that if he was facing a vampire, it would be wisest to seek help from the paladins.
But with so many villagers kidnapped, they couldn't wait that long.
While checking and sorting out the equipment, Gavin said to Regina: "Wait a moment, our main task is to conduct reconnaissance to determine whether our enemy this time is a vampire. Wait a moment and we will clear the way. You will be responsible for the rear. Once we encounter If you are unable to fight against the enemy, please Miss Regina to escape as soon as possible, we all have means of escape."
A luxurious suit and the flawless teleportation technique of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree are Gavin's biggest trump cards, especially the Crown Shield, which makes him immune to charm control, otherwise he would have gone back to bring in reinforcements.
There is no shame in eating soft food.
It would be a shame to not be able to eat.
Taking Regina with him, Gavin naturally has his own plans.
First, a transcendent bard does have a unique ability advantage in resisting the charm of vampires, not to mention that Regina herself is an expert in this area, so her resistance is definitely higher.
Secondly, he has tasted the sweetness of having an extraordinary bard compose a hymn for himself. Only when something is sung can it be widely known and bring him enough fame.
Different environments require different things.
In the Rockland, Gavin doesn't need fame, because he knows that this is not what the kobolds value. They come to you because you are strong enough to keep them fed, and because you have a dragon.
The latter is much more important than fame.
In the Valley, it's different. Gavin not only needs fame, but also a large amount of positive fame. With this blessing, it will be easier to attract refugees to live, or to deal with kind forces and people.
Third, Gavin knew the opponent's true background and had an unusually strong background. From beginning to end, he never showed her true strength. Gavin had reason to believe that her combat effectiveness was not much inferior to Darnell's.
"Okay." Regina agreed neatly.
It's not that she is simply heartless, but she believes that Gavin does have a trump card that she doesn't know about.
The prophecy spell is useless against Gavin, but the connections are useful.
Gavin's true identity has been revealed by Regina through the merchants. He should be the half-elf who led a group of kobolds in the rocky land, stirred up troubles, and became famous.
In this matter, Gavin didn't hide anything at all, because he couldn't hide it and there was no need.
It was just that no one had paid attention to Gavin before. Once they did, it would not be difficult to find out. After all, Black Well was somewhat famous in Cormyr and the Valley.
Under the guidance of the dog demon, Gavin and Regina cautiously entered the Cormanthor Forest one after the other.
The trees in the Corsoman Forest are mainly huge maples and towering oak trees. They are at least hundreds of years old, and their canopies are all connected into one piece.
Even if you enter it at noon and walk on the ground, you can't even expect to see any sunlight. It is all blocked by the layers of tree canopies. They will make full use of every sunlight.
Along the way, not only were the number of bats frightening, but the number of rats and wolves also obviously increased.
However, due to the dog demon, the wolves did not dare to approach at all, and they all ran away with their tails between their legs.
This reaction is abnormal in itself.
Wolves react normally when they see a dog demon, and they all take the initiative to come over and offer their allegiance.
The situation in front of them is more like they are sandwiched between two powerful men. No one dares to provoke them, so running away is the best option.
When the branches of the surrounding plants began to twist and become covered with thorns, and the shadows cast by the huge trees looked extremely haggard and ready to move, as if something was about to jump out, Gavin knew that the target they were looking for was close at hand. .
All these abnormal phenomena are telling outsiders in disguise that there is a vampire's lair here, and the vampire living inside is extremely powerful.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three sharp whistles sounded, and three short sharp arrows were nailed not far in front of Gai Wen.
Gai Wen was able to hold up a shield and protect his face.
A shrill voice came from the depths of the jungle, "Don't go any further. There is a powerful evil growing ahead that you cannot afford to provoke."
Only then did Gavin see clearly that the sharp arrow that landed at his feet was a whistle arrow, specially used for warning.
If the opponent wanted to shoot him, he would have no chance to put up a shield based on the archery skills the opponent showed.
Fey?
Gavin was not surprised but delighted.
He was worried that he had no source of information, so the information came to him on his own initiative.
You are a genius, remember in one second: Red Oasis:
