    Let us turn our attention to the entrance of the village.  A group of necromancers gathered here to control the undead troops to resist the attack of Headington's army. They had no idea that the magic circle in the village had been destroyed.  At this time, there was a ripple in the darkness next to them, and the Necromancer was immediately alarmed: "Be careful! Who is it?" "It's me." With the hoarse voice, the person who came appeared.  "Lord Silus? Youwhat's wrong with you?" The person who came was none other than Silus, who had escaped. When they saw his appearance, the necromancers all exclaimed in surprise.  I saw Cyrus holding his heart and staggering out of the darkness.  His expression was uncomfortable, and his face was full of weakness and exhaustion. His originally naked skin was now as pale as paper, and his whole body was listless, as if he had suffered extreme pain and was no longer as cheerful as usual.  .  Facing the surprised questions of the necromancers, Cyrus shook his head and did not answer. He asked weakly: "How is the battle going?" "The enemy is very powerful. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long." A necromancer said.  "But we have already sent a signal through the magic circle, and the army outside Ferelden City will arrive soon to support." "Very good." Cyrus breathed out.  "Lord Sirus, isn't that the source of magic?" At this time, someone saw the crystal ball in Sirus's arms and couldn't help but be shocked: "Why is it at your place?" "Someone attacked our magic.  The array has been destroyed." Cyrus said with a pale face: "I fought hard to get out the magic source." "What, the magic array was destroyed!" This news was like a bomb in the eyes of the Necromancer.  It exploded.  "What, you said the magic circle was destroyed?" "Thenthen the troops outside Ferelden City are going to lose control." "No, it's not that bad. The companions over there can still control it for the time being. But, then  It's already the limit, I'm afraid I can't attack the enemy anymore. ""Don't panic, Sir, didn't you take out the magic source?" "" "Just shut up!"  When the necromancers were discussing in panic, Cyrus interrupted everyone with a sharp shout.  His eyes were blood red and he glared at the rabble.  Under his terrifying gaze, the necromancers lowered their heads and remained silent.  "Now that the matter has come to this, what else is there to say?" Cyrus said harshly: "It's all you useless guys who let the enemy succeed. Now cheer up and find a way to minimize the losses.  "If anyone messes up again, I will personally send him to see Hades when the president comes back." Under the threat of Cyrus, the necromancers did not dare to talk nonsense.  After a while, the leading necromancer said cautiously: "Lord Cyrus, the magic circle has been destroyed, and we no longer have enough magic power to support all the troops." "The only way now is to take away as many high-level undead as possible.  Soldiers, go meet Lord Edward and destroy these humans after the magic circle is rebuilt. "What about the remaining troops?" someone asked in surprise.  The Necromancer gritted his teeth and said, "We have to give up." The undead army participating in the siege of Ferelden this time was the main force of the Necromancer Guild.  Although some of them were taken away by Edward to intercept Headington's reinforcements, there were still many who stayed outside Ferelden.  If we do this, I am afraid that more than half of the undead troops will be abandoned. No one dares to bear the responsibility for such a huge loss.  "Can't we continue to besiege the city? If we move quickly enough, we may be able to rebuild the magic circle in time" someone said.  "This is impossible. Such a large magic circle must be established by someone with strong magic power like the President or Edward. Now that they are not here, we can't rebuild it at all." "If we don't make a decisive decision and continue to pester  If we continue, all the undead soldiers will eventually lose control, and then it will be too late to regret." The leading necromancer immediately objected.  "But, just leave like this" There are still people who are not willing to accept it.  "Okay, just do what he said." Cyrus interrupted everyone and said angrily: "When the reinforcements arrive, take away all the high-level undead and leave the rest to the enemy."  After he spoke, the necromancers did not dare to argue anymore and only agreed to the plan.  This is the embarrassing current situation of the Necromancer Guild. Undead soldiers can be continuously produced, but powerful Necromancers cannot be gathered overnight. ?The current guild is completely different from what it was 20 years ago.  After internal fighting, the original president Luo Lan and his cronies have been eliminated.  Only a few people, including Drake and Edward, can be considered high-level necromancers. Drake's right-hand man, Paster, was killed by Raymond, so that the rest are all newbies who have just mastered the art.  .  Therefore, even though there are powerful troops, there is a lack of people who can control them, so they have to use magic circles to enhance the power of the undead.  As a result, they encountered Raymond's sneak attack and the magic circle was destroyed, so they had to abandon a large number of troops.  Fortunately, Cyrus fought desperately to regain the source of magic power, leaving a little room for redemption.  Otherwise, this group of necromancers will really have no choice but to break up.  ***************************************************  **************** "How is the situation?" At this moment, on a mound not far from the village, Thor was squinting to observe the situation on the battlefield.  By this time, Headington's army had completely gained the upper hand, and the number of undead troops was getting smaller and smaller, and they were gradually suppressed around the village.  "It looks like we will win soon." said Hermi, who stayed here to help command the troops.  At this time, Raymond came back with the Dragon King Rhinoceros. Thor took back the Warcraft and quickly asked about the situation.  Raymond told what happened in the temple, and finally said with regret: "Although the magic circle was destroyed, Cyrus took away the most important source of magic power, and the enemy still has a chance to counterattack." "That's great.  , at least the siege of Ferelden City can be lifted." Helmi looked very happy.  "However, at least we can't let the undead here escape." Thor said.  Raymond nodded: "Killing these necromancers hiding in the village will definitely severely damage the enemy." According to the current battle situation, it is only a matter of time before Headington's army surrounds the village and completely eliminates the undead, so several people  Seems very optimistic.  However, at this moment, the situation suddenly changed.  In the dark wilderness in the distance, thousands of faint green lights suddenly flashed, like a large field of flying green fireflies, floating towards this direction.  The first person to discover it was a guard, who exclaimed: "Look, what is that?" Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and they were all surprised.  "What is that, a firefly?" "It doesn't look like it. Fireflies can't have such a big light group." "Look, it's floating over, so fast."  For a while, the guards around him were talking strangely.  One after another.  He had never seen such a sight before, and Raymond was quite curious.  At this moment, Thor suddenly said: "Oops." "What?" Thor pointed forward and murmured in shock: "Thoseare the army of the undead." "The army of the undead!?" This  As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.  Hermi said in disbelief: "Isn't the main force of the undead besieging Ferelden City?" Raymond said solemnly: "It must be the Necromancer in the temple asking for help. This place is very close to Ferelden City, and the enemy forces  As long as we get the news, we'll be here soon." "This is trouble." Thor thumped his hands.  There are only 2,000 Headington troops here, which is obviously not enough to compete with so many undead armies.  What's even more troublesome is that if the enemy troops outside the village hold back our own side and attack from inside and outside, there may be a danger of the entire army being annihilated.  "Hermi, let the troops evacuate quickly." Raymond said hurriedly.  Hermi was also anxious: "Lord Raymond, the current battle situation is very complicated. The order cannot be conveyed smoothly, and it may be too late." "Then light the fire!" Raymond shouted: "Anyway, be quick!" At this time, the film  The green light spot was getting closer and closer, and everyone seemed to be able to smell the smell of undead corpses drifting in the wind.  The situation took a turn for the worse, making everyone extremely anxious.  At this time, Headington's army on the battlefield also discovered the undead reinforcements arriving.  Some experienced commanders, such as Tavant, Kress, Sirness and others, immediately began to gather the troops around them and prepare for the response.  But after all, it was too hasty, and coupled with the fact that they were still fighting the undead outside the village, it was impossible to form an effective defense at all.  Seeing a large, black army of the undead approaching the battlefield, it was hard to do anything.  Seeing that the situation was critical, Raymond said anxiously: "Mr. Thor, it seems that I have to ask for your help again." For the current plan, we can only use Thor's summoned beasts as much as possible to help defend against the enemy.  But in the face of so many undead, it is difficult to predict whether it will be effective.  Thor agreed,Take out Quamak's suicide note and turn directly to the last few pages.  Just when he was about to release the top-level monsters, the enemy's movements surprised everyone.  The undead army that was originally at war with Headington's army began to actively withdraw from the battlefield.  At the same time, the undead reinforcements that arrived did not continue to advance, but stopped outside the battlefield.  "What exactly does the enemy want to do?" Thor and Raymond both stopped and looked at all this in surprise.  "Is this some kind of trap?" Hermi guessed.  Raymond shook his head: "No, it doesn't make any sense to evacuate at this time." However, the enemy was indeed retreating. The Headington Army on the battlefield was obviously confused by the opponent's abnormal behavior and did not know what to do for a moment.  response.  "Quick, send a signal to them to pull back, don't pursue them." Raymond said hurriedly.  Over the past few years, through continuous baptism on the battlefield, Raymond has gained considerable experience in both strategy and tactics, and has a keen eye for changes in the battle situation.  He could tell at a glance that the enemy's retreat was not a fake.  No matter what the other party's purpose is, this is a good opportunity for us to get out of the predicament, so we quickly give the order to prevent someone from being knocked unconscious and rushing to pursue them, which will cause trouble.  Soon, three bonfires were lit on the mound, signaling the retreat of Headington's army.  The shining firelight was extremely dazzling in the night. Headington's army saw the signal and withdrew towards this side.  After a while, the two warring parties were completely separated.  Outside that small village, corpses of the undead were left everywhere, and the gloomy atmosphere made people shudder.  ***************************************************  **************** An hour later.  Seeing the undead army slowly retreating into the wilderness, Raymond and his party were a little confused.  After successfully evacuating the battlefield, everyone was still wondering whether this was some kind of trap by the enemy. Everyone did not dare to be careless and waited seriously for the enemy's counterattack.  Unexpectedly, after the enemy joined the remnants of the village, they no longer had any intention of attacking, and actually withdrew.  It was only then that everyone believed that the enemy really didn¡¯t want to fight.  In general, tonight's sneak attack had mixed success. Although it successfully destroyed the Necromancer's magic circle, our side was also surrounded by the enemy. If the opponent had not withdrawn from the battle for some reason, this thousand  The team that has worked so hard to cross the Jed Forest will probably be wiped out.  But why did the enemy do this?  "Why didn't those guys fight?" Harlot asked a question that everyone found strange.  "I don't know. Could it be that Denek ordered them to retreat?" Hillness guessed.  Only the president of their guild can make a necromancer give up his prey.  "There's no reason for him to do this." Hermi shook his head.  At this time, Qi Puhu, who had been silent all the time, said: "Maybe the destruction of the magic circle has a greater impact on them than we imagined. It's not that they don't want to fight, but that they can't fight anymore." He said this  , everyone thinks it makes sense.  The army of the undead needs to be maintained by the magic power of the necromancer. The magic circle is blocked, and the supply of magic power cannot sustain so many undead. The other party can only evacuate before the situation gets worse. This well explains their abnormal behavior.  Behavior.  Thor nodded and said: "Kip is right. It seems that those guys can no longer control so many undead soldiers." "Then what are we waiting for?" Harold clapped his hands and said: "We can't let them  He ran away so easily. Go after him and kill him!¡± Raymond kicked him in the leg, causing Harlot to stagger: ¡°Calm down, do you think we can continue to fight?¡±  , except for some wounded, Headington's army suffered little loss.  But after all, there are only 2,000 people, and it is still insufficient to fight so many enemy troops.  Now that the enemy is willing to withdraw on his own, this is the most ideal situation.  This not only solved the siege of Ferelden City, but also avoided our own losses. If we pursue them and stalk them, we will only force the enemy to fight back desperately, which is not worth the loss.  "Anyway, let's go to Ferelden City first." Finally, Raymond said.  Then he walked toward Holder and Goodwin.  After being rescued by everyone, Holder also left the battlefield with Goodwin.  At this moment, Goodwin was lying on the ground, unconscious, with the strange-looking dagger stuck in his chest. From the torn clothes, he could see a large black mark spreading along the wound to his chest.  Due to the strange situation, Holder did not dare to pull out the dagger rashly.  "How is Mr. Goodwin?" Raymond asked.  Holder shook his head: "The situation is not good. I'm afraid this dagger hasBig question.  "Goodwin's swordsmanship is very strong. He would not have been so fragile in the first place. To be able to hurt him to this extent, there is obviously something weird about that dagger. "Aishita, can you heal him?  " Raymond turned around and asked. Aishita came over. The female elf looked at Goodwin's injuries and frowned: "This is not a simple knife wound, his body is also severely corroded by the poison of the undead.  .  Sorry, there's nothing I can do.  " "It seems that we can only take him to Ferelden City and find a way.  "Holder sighed. Ferelden is one of the six core cities of the Lavit Federation. It is very prosperous. There may be someone who can heal Goodwin. At this time, Lorna asked in a low voice: "Holder  Sir, why are you and Mr. Goodwin here?  "This is what everyone wants to know. Just listen to Holder say: "Since we said goodbye on Darko Island, Goodwin and I have continued to track down the mysterious man named Gru.  We originally thought that he had some connection with the Lavit Federation, so we turned to Lavit to investigate, but we found something even more shocking.  " "The Necromancer.  " Raymond said in a deep voice. Holder nodded: "That's right.  During the investigation, we gradually discovered that a series of weird things happened within the Ravit Federation.  There seems to be a mysterious force that is slowly corrupting this country.  " "It was not until the Sidonian sect invaded Lavit that we became convinced of the existence of the Necromancer.  Later, as the investigation continued, we discovered that in the past few years, many senior members of the Central Council have died without explanation, and at the same time, many unfamiliar faces have appeared, indicating that the Necromancer is gradually controlling Lavitt with a premeditated plan.  federal.  " Helmi gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Lord Thorz saw this clearly and decided to establish the Ferelden Alliance.  Otherwise, it won't be long before we all become slaves to those necromancers.  " Holder continued: "Because the Necromancer is well-organized and well-hidden, Goodwin and I have not made much progress in our investigation.  It wasn't until those necromancers suddenly attacked the Ferelden Alliance not long ago that we realized that this cancer had grown to such a terrifying extent.  " "So, are you here also about the Necromancer?  "Kress asked. Holder nodded and said: "Yes, we are here to assist Thorz in fighting the undead.  Later, Goodwin accidentally discovered that this village was a hiding place for necromancers, so we sneaked in and planned to assassinate some high-level necromancers to weaken the enemy.  " "But unfortunately they discovered it, so it failed.  " Speaking of this, Holder asked strangely: "But you, why did Headington's army come here?  " Raymond received Hermi's request for help. He led Headington's reinforcements to set off, defeated Edward in Rodia City, and then led a surprise force through the Jed Forest. He accidentally bumped into Guhuo and the two were chased and killed.  After briefly talking about it, he said: "I didn't expect to run into you either.  Now that the Necromancer's magic circle has been destroyed, he should not be able to attack again in the short term.  " "That's it.  Holder suddenly understood, and then smiled to himself: "To fight against these undead, it is definitely not something that just a few people can do."  Goodwin and I originally thought that we could change anything with our swordsmanship, but now it seems that we were too naive.  " In such a war involving tens of thousands of people, no matter how strong an individual's swordsmanship is, it will not help. Tonight's battle made Holder see this clearly, and he couldn't help but feel very sad. He and Goodwin are both considered this.  The "chivalrous men" on this continent are not governed by anyone, and they all act based on ancient principles. At first, they almost lost their lives for Gru, but they still didn't look back when they realized the existence of the Necromancer.  We are going all out to track them down and try to stop them from encroaching on the Ravit Federation. However, in the face of a powerful enemy, our personal abilities are limited. In the end, even top swordsmen like them still have to rely on Raymond who has a heavy army to defeat them.  Retreating the opponent. Understanding Holder's mood, Raymond advised: "Please don't think so. If it weren't for you and Goodwin, Sophia might have fallen into the hands of the Necromancer Guild, and the situation on the entire continent would have been different.  Change.  " With that said, he stretched out his hand to Holder: "Mr. Holder, let us join hands to completely eliminate those undead from the Veronica continent.  " At this time, Holder also understood that the only way to fight against the undead is to rely on Raymond's power. So, he also stretched out his hand and held Raymond tightly: "I understand, I am willing to do my best.  ¡± *************************************************  ***************** passed againAfter waiting for a while, after the undead army had completely left, Raymond first sent Bast to lead a team of scouts to detect the nearby situation, and then carefully led the troops towards Ferelden City.  When passing by that village, there was no one in the village. There were still traces of the magic circle outside the temple destroyed by Dragon King Rhino, and the whole village was as quiet as a ghost.  For safety reasons, Raymond sent a small team into the village to search.  Unexpectedly, this routine action led to a new discovery.  Twenty minutes later.  "Sir Raymond, come and see." The team leader in charge of the search took Raymond outside a house in the village with a stern expression.  In front of the house, several soldiers were guarding there, their expressions were quite ugly. Apparently they had discovered something in the house.  The team leader took Raymond into the house. As soon as he entered the door, Raymond smelled a strong smell of blood, which was also mixed with a strong rancid smell.  At this time, several torches were inserted in the room. Under the dim light of the fire, I saw blood stains everywhere on both the walls and the floor, as if someone had smeared all over a drawing board with red paint.  .  Those blood stains were obviously left by a large number of corpses dragged on the ground.  However, most of these blood stains have dried up, and the disgusting smell of blood and putrid stench is emanating from the basement of the house.  Under the leadership of the team leader, Raymond walked down the stairs into the basement, and the scene there was even more shocking.  (To be continued.)
