Chapter 280: Lure the enemy deep into our territory

As always.

Looking out from the observation port, nothing can be seen at all.

Because the first thing that came was still the dark fog.

The large bonfires deliberately left outside the barn were swallowed up in an instant, as if they were swallowed into the belly of a monster.

This is definitely not the ability of ordinary fog, but the darkness formed by magic.

Ordinary people who don’t know much about vampires think that this kind of fog is an ability possessed by all vampires.

Those paladins know that this is not the case.

Although vampires have the ability to transform into fog, they will never carry such a wide range of dark fog wherever they go.

This should be a unique ability of drow vampires.

Because adult drow elves are born with the spell-like ability to cast dark magic.

When they become dark beings, this ability is likely to be deeply strengthened, and it is not an exaggeration to give rise to the situation in front of them.

Just ordinary drow vampires can form a dark fog that covers a village.

The legendary drow vampire lord who was still sealed had a legend that covered a city or half a country with fog, which seemed to be worthy of belief.

The dark fog was moving in a firm direction, which was the direction of the barn, without even looking at the church.

First, the difficulty of breaking through such a sacred residence was far greater than that of the barn, especially when it was shining with the unique luster of the holy residence, the dark fog did not dare to get too close. The effect of using the holy residence in a sacred residence like the church was added.

Second, compared with the small church, the barn was obviously several times larger and there were more people hiding.

When the dark fog eroded the outside of the barn, a huge crash followed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every time the crash was done with all their strength, even the crasher couldn't help howling and roaring in pain, but after a little distance, they would crash again without hesitation.

They were also helpless.

Stand up!

With Copperfield's order.

Long spears pierced out from the round holes in the lower row of the barn door.

Not to mention the experienced paladins, even without them, Copperfield estimated that the vampires would probably drive other creatures to attack the barn tonight, so he naturally prepared defensive measures.

While the barn door was further thickened and reinforced, holes the size of wine glasses were also chiseled out.

Doing so would certainly weaken the strength of the barn door, but when dozens of round wooden sticks with sharpened heads stretched out from it.

It immediately turned it into a super giant defensive thorn wall.

The attackers who had just finished a round of collision had never thought that there would be such a thing.

They crashed into the forest of spears.

The more terrifying the force of their collision, the greater the damage they suffered.

Puff!

The sound of the spears entering the body and cutting through the flesh.

Bang Bang!

This is the sound of the spears breaking due to the huge impact force.

Ah!

This is the scream of several militiamen who failed to hold their spears against the ground and were directly thrown away. One unlucky child was hit in the nose by the rebounding spear tail, and blood flowed on the spot.

They were at the small end of the lever through a door, and they were still in such a state.

It is conceivable how miserable those who were at the attacking end and the big end of the lever on the other side were.

Even the wooden tip could easily pierce their fur and penetrate deep into their bodies.

A lot of blood flowed in along the unbroken spears.

Two of the most ferocious Komanso tigers that collided died on the spot.

One of them limped back with a broken spear, and most of the broken spear was still exposed. It would be fine if it did not collide in the next round, but once it did, the broken spear would probably directly penetrate deep into the body and take its life.

There was an owl bear hanging outside the barn door, injured but not dead, breathing less and exhaling more. Without treatment, it is estimated that it will not survive tonight.

After this counterattack, the attack outside has obviously stopped.

Although these monsters were driven here temporarily, the vampires would not feel sorry even if they were used up.

But the number is limited after all. The battle has just begun, and they cannot be used up in front of the barn door.

It is estimated that the vampires are circling around the barn, looking for a new breakthrough.

They are destined to be disappointed.

The barn is the most important building in those villages and towns without castles.

Not only because it usually stores food that is vital to the villagers, but also because it is the last refuge for the villagers. Once they find that the enemy is too powerful to attack and the village cannot be defended, they often choose to hide in the barn for the last defense.

This point is even more extreme in Tesser, where warlords have been fighting for many years.

After these refugees fled to the valley, they still maintained this good custom - building a fixed settlement and building a large barn first.

This barn is a semi-sheltered structure, most of which is built on the small ridge, and the latter part goes directly into the depths of the mountain.

Compared with other places, a frontal attack is the only option.

Soon, the barn door was hit again.

But this time, the gun array had little effect.

Because it was no longer the Komanso tigers and owl bears that hit the barn door, but the gorillas who took down the villagers' wooden doors and used them as shields.

These gorillas looked like they had albinism, with pale hair all over their bodies. They were surprisingly large, and even when they were hunched over, they were more than two and a half meters long. The most noticeable thing was their four arms, two on each side.

The upper pair was obviously much thicker than the lower pair. When they walked, the thinner and lower pair of arms touched the ground to help maintain balance, making them look like centaurs from a distance.

With the wooden door shield, the killing effect of those spears was greatly reduced. After just a few rounds of impact, they were already shaky.

"Retreat!" Copperfield waved his hand heavily, and led the soldiers to abandon the gate and retreat to the depths of the barn like a tide.

From the beginning, the barn door was destined to be unguardable.

Not only did the vampires need it to be unguardable, but Gavin and his team also needed it to be unguardable.

It was just a disguise before, taking the opportunity to eliminate a wave of vampires.

Click!

The barn door groaned for the last time and fell to the ground with a bang.

Aww!

The two four-armed gorillas who rushed in threw the wooden bed in their hands, stood up excitedly, and slapped their chests with their four arms.

Following closely behind them, there were two more four-armed gorillas, three Komanso tigers and three owl bears.

"Release the arrows!"

"Throw the spears!"

The two four-armed gorillas were a little too excited.

There were new attacks waiting for them.

Bows and arrows shot at them like rain.

The sharp arrows were fast and accurate, all aimed at their weak points such as their eyes.

Although the spears were a little less accurate, they were thick and long, and had great power. Once they were hit, it would definitely be a disaster.

After just one round, all of them were injured.

The four-armed gorillas either rushed to pick up the wooden door again, or tried to pull up the barn door and use it as their own cover.

The armless Komanso tigers and owl bears curled up as much as possible.

They neither rushed forward nor retreated, as if they were guarding something.

Because the strange black fog, no matter how twisted and how fierce it was, seemed like there was an invisible barrier standing at the door, blocking them out, just like blocking their masters.

What blocked the vampires was never the physical door, but the sacred law of the gods.

Even if the door was wide open, the vampires could not take a step in without the invitation of the master.

In the depths of the black fog, a staggering thin figure walked out from inside, revealing a pale, thin face.

"Don't shoot arrows, don't throw spears, don't hurt her, she is Mandy, Mandy who disappeared a long time ago, hurry up, go and rescue her."

"Stop, you are crazy, in this situation, do you think Mandy escaped?"

"Shoot arrows, keep shooting arrows, kill her, kill her quickly, she has been controlled by those vampires, she wants to open the door for those vampires."

"You are all crazy, how can you do it?"

Inside the barn, when the little girl appeared, there was a commotion.

This little girl was one of the villagers who had disappeared before.

The militiamen with a strong sense of justice wanted to rush out to rescue the little girl, but they were held down by the people next to them.

When they saw that the person holding them down was a paladin, their hot-blooded minds finally cooled down.

In terms of sense of justice, no one is more than the paladin. They still insist on shooting arrows, which means that there is something wrong with the little girl named Mandy.

The arrows and spears were launched into the air again.

Whether it was the four-armed gorilla, the Komanso tiger, or the owl bear, they all stood in front of the little girl and protected her safety with their lives.

Rules are dead, but people are alive.

Even the sacred rules set by the gods, the vampires have found a corresponding way to crack them.

That is to use the charm ability to control those people, open their own doors, and invite them in.

Especially for collective buildings like barns, it is easier to open the door. You only need someone who was born in this village to open the door.

This person named Mandy is their door opener.

Under the fearless protection of those beasts and monsters, the thin and weak Mandy made a door-pushing action in front of the barn door.

Obviously she did it to the air.

An invisible barrier was forcibly pulled open by her, and the black fog that was originally blocked from the door, like a monster, laughed wildly and poured into the barn.

The remaining beasts and monsters roared wildly and no longer stood still.

They rushed towards the enemy who brought them endless pain.

The black fog followed closely behind them, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed to the front of Copperfield and his group who were waiting for them.

"Now." Daniel shouted loudly, and jumped out from behind with the other four paladins, with a white light on their bodies, a hammer in one hand and a shield in the other.

Buzz!

The holy light cut through the sky and fell into the barn, entangled with the smoke in it, forming a holy white mist, which instantly enveloped the entire barn.

Holy Residence.

All the preparatory work for this Holy Residence has been prepared long ago, and it is just waiting for the last step to take shape.

The reason for waiting until now is to let the vampires fall into the trap.

If the Holy Residence is opened early, the opponent will be very cautious in attacking the barn, and will not even easily step into it.

Anti-evil magic arrays have two types: external and internal.

Externally, it forms a protective circle to prevent evil creatures from entering, especially those summoned evil creatures.

Internally, it also forms a prison to imprison evil creatures, making it impossible to escape. If combined with dimensional anchors, it is an excellent trap for summoned demons and devils.

As a local evil existence, vampires cannot be imprisoned like summoned creatures. If they want to pass through and leave, they still need some effort, at least a few seconds - that is, when they are not distracted.

It would be extremely stupid to try when there are enemies, especially powerful enemies around. If you are not careful, you will get yourself into it.
