In Salo City in the dark, except for the dots of street lights on the streets, there is hardly anyone to be seen.
Salo City is only a small city, and there is only one resident nobleman, so it cannot be as lively as Jianmer City.
In fact, in the Great World of Gods, except for the nobles, almost everyone will only stay at home at night, and there are not many entertainment activities.
So Salo City seemed to be asleep, only the walls of Salo City were patrolled by a few soldiers.
"Why are the vegetables so cheap recently?" A soldier leaning against the wall with a spear in his hand asked the soldier next to him.
"It is said that the Atkins family was wiped out, and the vegetables that were originally supplied to them could no longer be supplied, so the vegetables were sold at a reduced price!" The soldier next to him replied.
"So there are some benefits to the Atkins family being wiped out!" The soldier holding a spear said with a chuckle.
"Be careful what you say, if people hear you, you and I will be in trouble!" Out of the natural fear of the nobles, the soldier next to him reprimanded softly.
"Isn't this nobody!" The soldier holding the spear also knew that he had said something wrong, so he said softly.
The soldier who said the wrong thing just now did not see the city of Salo after losing the Atkins family because of his own vision. No matter in terms of economy or status, it will be much worse than before.
This is not comparable to the price reduction of vegetables. Besides, the vegetable farmers cannot make money, and the vegetables will not continue to be planted. Soon the vegetables in Saro City will return to normal, and even because of the loss of the Atkins family’s consumption Driven, let Salo City completely decline.
Of course, a greater danger came ahead of time and came to Salo City. When the two soldiers were talking, the two soldiers shook their bodies, and they were pierced together by a long bone spear.
Then several bone spears flew out from the darkness, killing the soldiers on the city wall one by one.
The corpses of the fallen soldiers exploded, and the skeletons that had lost their flesh and blood stood up from the blood. They instinctively picked up the weapons beside them and walked down the city wall.
There were continuous screams in the city of Salo, and after the screams, black mist would rise, and the black mist would surround the houses next to it, and then the people in the house were wrapped in black mist, and soon the flesh and blood on the corpses were all gone. Pooled into the black mist, and the skeleton left behind stood up and walked out of the house.
Lord Hitchcock is the only noble in Salo City. He was attached to the Atkins family before, but now that the Atkins family has been wiped out, he has gained some benefits.
Lord Hitchcock kept some of the original business cooperation with the Atkins family. Anyway, there is no supporting document for this private transaction.
When the Atkins family existed, they didn't worry about what Lord Hitchcock would do, because the gap between the two was too great, and Lord Hitchcock didn't dare to tamper with the cooperative business.
In the past few days, Lord Hitchcock has taken over more than a dozen shops and two restaurants in Salo City. Anyway, the Atkins family has no direct descendants. Kings family.
Lord Hitchcock is an official knight. This is his confidence. All the knights of the Atkins family are dead, and the collateral descendants inherit the family, and at most there are only apprentice knights. With a cooperation document, he doesn't have to care about the other party.
Lord Hitchcock was flipping through the property certificate in his hand at this time. This was reissued by him using his relationship, and he completely disassociated the property he took over from the Atkins family.
There was a smug smile on his face, but he suddenly stopped what he was doing.
Then Lord Hitchcock jumped, and a set of knight armor appeared on his body while in the air. He smashed open the window, and before landing, a war horse appeared on the ground, and he just landed on the horse.
Then Lord Hitchcock appeared with an epee in his right hand and a buckler in his left.
"Enemy attack!" Lord Hitchcock mobilized the power of his blood and shouted loudly.
Although his family is only a small family, after years of training, he has cultivated 20 strong guards. With the cooperation of each other, they can block some enemies for him.
It's just that Lord Hitchcock's voice was heard far away in the dark night, but there was no response.
Just as Lord Hitchcock was about to yell, there was a weird clicking sound in the night, as if a hard object was hitting the ground.
He took out a torch from the space bag, and the torch lightly brushed against the saddle, and the torch made of special material was ignited with the friction.
Lord Hitchcock threw the torch far away, and in the light of the torch he saw something making a sound.
"Undead!" Lord Hitchcock spit out a word after seeing the thing clearly.
Undead represents the appearance of believers of evil gods, and only believers of evil gods can create undead in the world of gods.
Of course, believers of evil gods will have different abilities because they believe in different evil gods. It is believers who believe in the god of death who create undead.
The God of Death is one of the ancient gods, and also a very powerful existence among the ancient gods, but he was forced to sleep during the battle of the gods.
Lord Hitchcock no longer had the courage he had before. He was about to ride his horse and turn around to leave, but he heard a clicking sound coming from behind him, and then there were clicking sounds coming from the left and right, and more and more clicking sounds came from behind him. Come.
From the darkness, skeletons keep appearing one after another, some of them are holding spears, some are holding sticks, some are holding kitchen knives, and some are even empty-handed, but their goal is the same, that is Hitch Lord Cork.
Lord Hitchcock saw skeletons pouring out of the night, and he guessed that the entire city of Salo might have turned into skeletons.
These skeletons are not his main opponents, his opponents are followers of evil gods hiding in the darkness.
Lord Hitchcock thought of the Atkins family, and he was no longer happy with the unexpected wealth he had obtained before.
Without the protection of the Atkins family, the city of Salo was being targeted by the followers of the evil god, and he alone could not protect such a city as a knight.
Among the skeletons, he saw twenty skeletons holding spears of the same style, and he couldn't help smiling bitterly. These were the guards he had trained.
"Kill!" Lord Hitchcock shouted, white light flashed on his body, and the epee in his hand turned into a lightsaber.
The war horse accelerated towards the pile of skeletons, and when it was about to hit the skeletons, he swung the epee in his hand, and the skeletons in front were chopped into pieces.
These skeletons are not powerful, even inferior to ordinary people. Their movements are slower and their strength is smaller, but they have the fearlessness that ordinary people do not have. As long as they are ordered, they dare to challenge no matter what is ahead.
Lord Hitchcock swung the epee continuously, and then the horse charged, and at least forty skeletons fell in front of him.
It's just that in the darkness, an unknown number of skeletons were still coming, and all he could hear were crackling sounds, as if the only sound in the entire city of Salo.
Lord Hitchcock gritted his teeth. In the darkness, he vaguely saw the road ahead, which was the main road of Saro City.
As long as he got on the main road, he might be able to charge out of Salo City with the charge of a war horse. As long as he got out of Salo City, he would be safe.
Thinking of this, Lord Hitchcock forgot his fear, he accelerated his swing of the epee, and skeletons were constantly chopped into pieces by him.
Just as Lord Hitchcock was about to come to the main road, a black light shot at him. His knight perception predicted the danger in advance, and he took an evasive action.
Unexpectedly, after the black light missed, it turned and hit him.
A sense of weakness came over Lord Hitchcock, and he almost dropped the epee in his hand.
He knew that he was cursed by the followers of the evil god, so he quickly mobilized the power of blood from the heart sea space, trying to get rid of the curse.
But the skeletons at the side didn't give him this chance. The skeletons, which were originally slow, sped up and rushed towards him when they approached him.
Although the armor on Lord Hitchcock's body is not very good armor, it is also a second-grade equipment, so there is no such thing as a skeleton that can break through it.
After the teeth-stinging rubbing sound, the skeleton's teeth and hand bones failed to leave any marks on the armor, and even the two skeletons with weapons could not break through Lord Hitchcock's defense.
Although Lord Hitchcock was weak all over, he still swung the epee in his hand and split the three skeletons on his body.
In a short period of time, Lord Hitchcock just stopped in place for a few seconds, and the skeletons accelerated collectively, and rushed towards Lord Hitchcock one by one.
Soon Lord Hitchcock was wrapped in skeletons. Even if he expelled the curse, he did not immediately get rid of more and more skeletons on his body.
Lord Hitchcock mobilized the power of his blood, white light flickered in the pile of skeletons, and the sound of bones breaking continued, but the skeletons of the entire city were rushing here, at least a thousand in a short time The skeleton fell on Lord Hitchcock.
Each of these skeletons was scattered by Lord Hitchcock, and it would produce a little light, which was absorbed by the skeletons on the side.
The skeleton that absorbs the dark light will become stronger, and the number of stronger skeletons will increase as more and more fragmented skeletons are broken.
Lord Hitchcock, who was fighting in the dark, did not see this, and perhaps he had no choice but to keep fighting.
Lord Hitchcock felt that the horse could not stand up, the ground was full of broken bones, and all his eyes saw were skeletons.
At first, he could split one of these skeletons with one sword, but later he found that he could only split one with one sword, and then he needed two swords to split one.
Although these skeletons still couldn't break through Lord Hitchcock's defenses, he couldn't escape either, he was surrounded by a sea of bones.
Lord Hitchcock knew that the population of Saro City was about 30,000. He didn't know how many skeletons he chopped up, but he knew that he was far from chopping up 30,000 skeletons.
At some point, after the skeleton beside Lord Hitchcock absorbed the dim light, a faint blue flame began to burn in his eyes. It was the fire of the soul, the fire of the soul that would only appear from the real undead.
Only undead with soul fire can exist for a long time. The skeletons here are just temporary battle puppets made by the believers of the god of death using special poisonous mist and summoning ability. Once the summoning time is up, they will all collapse.
Lord Hitchcock also saw the faint blue flames in the skull's eyes. He understood the thoughts of the followers of the evil god, and he used his hands to create the fighting undead.
"Don't be like a turtle, come and fight me to the death!" Lord Hitchcock shouted.
No one answered him in the darkness, but Lord Hitchcock felt a pair of eyes looking at him. The opponent's strength was obviously not weak, and he couldn't perceive the opponent's position.
Lord Hitchcock really wanted to stop attacking, but now the attack of the fighting undead had been accompanied by undead poison. Every time this undead poison hit his armor, a trace of the undead poison would pass through the armor into his body.
Perhaps a little undead poison Lord Hitchcock can be excreted from the body through the power of the blood, but when the undead poison continues to enter the body, the effects of paralysis and weakness of the undead poison will appear, and he will be unable to resist even if he wants to resist.
So even if Lord Hitchcock knew the purpose of the evil god believers, he could only keep slashing the epee in his hand, smashing the approaching fighting undead.
After the battle undead was crushed, the fire of the soul was immediately inhaled by the skeleton on the side, and this skeleton would become a stronger battle undead than the one just now.
Lord Hitchcock felt that he was drinking poison to quench his thirst, and the fighting undead also fell down and changed to a skeleton and stood up again as he continued to slash, which was like an endless cycle.
After an hour of fighting, Lord Hitchcock also felt tired. What's even more frightening is that he wants to chop up the fighting undead in front of him. Broken battle undead.
But the power of blood is limited after all, no matter how carefully Lord Hitchcock uses it, it will bottom out with constant consumption.
"Come out, God of Death is a coward, and a clown like you is also a coward. He dare not face the battle!" Lord Hitchcock shouted.
If it hadn't been a critical moment, Lord Hitchcock would not have insulted the evil god.
You must know that in the great world of gods, gods are great, and even evil gods cannot be insulted at will. Legend has it that if you read the name of a god, the god will be inspired.
But Lord Hitchcock no longer had any scruples at this time, he just wanted to force the followers of the evil god out, relying on the power of his last blood to kill the believers of the evil god.
Lord Hitchcock responded with a bone spear, which pierced through his armor and shattered his heart.
Only then did Lord Hitchcock know how strong the followers of the evil god were, at least at the level of the Earth Knights.
This was also his last thought. As his body fell to the ground, it was wrapped in a cloud of black mist, and then the body exploded to stand up as a skeleton, and there was a skeleton warhorse under it.
All the fighting undead nearby were swept away by a wave of spirit, and instantly collapsed. All the fire of souls poured into the skeleton of the undead knight, and a faint blue flame lit up in its eyes. This flame was stronger than before. All flames grow hotter.
"It's a pity that so many materials were wasted!" A faint voice sounded in the darkness.
After the sound, the remaining few tens of thousands of skeletons scattered all over the entire area.
