Chapter 1257 Nanhai Town (Salty meat dumplings are not delicious, sweet ones are better)

"Ah, why am I so unlucky."

Walking on the deserted road, Duanmu Huai sighed. The reason for his sigh was very simple, that was the girl next to him.

Unlike Duanmu Huai who walked on his legs, Naruse Mio and Maria, Akemi Homura and Kisara were riding horses at this moment - after all, they were all girls, and it was impossible for them to really walk all the way to Stormwind City.

The problem was their mounts.

After purifying the northern land before, the Night Guard brought back some spoils for Duanmu Huai. Most of the things were useless to Duanmu Huai, but there were two things that caught Duanmu Huai's attention. They were [Headless Knight's Reins] and [Death Warhorse's Reins].

According to the results of An's appraisal, this was a magic prop. As long as magic power was injected, a magic mount could be summoned.

So Duanmu Huai tried it at first, well, how to say it……………his legs were taller than the other horse's head when he stood upright. Although it is not impossible for Duanmu Huai to sit on it as long as he bends his knees and poses as if he were sitting on a small bench, and as a magic mount, the opponent will not be crushed by Duanmu Huai's weight, but how to say it... It's funny no matter how you look at it.

This even reminded Duanmu Huai of the Star-Breaking General Latan he met at the border. He rode a pony that was thinner than himself and went crazy everywhere, so Duanmu Huai decisively gave up. He didn't want to learn the mentally retarded look of Latan. Latan was crazy, so it didn't matter. Duanmu Huai hadn't gone crazy yet. If he curled up and rode such a pony on the battlefield, he would be regarded as a fool!

After all, it was a magic mount, why couldn't it change with the user's body shape!

In the end, Duanmu Huai had to give the two reins to Naruse Mio and Kisara respectively. Anyway, they also had magic power and could be stimulated to use it.

So Duanmu Huai became Route 11, and the four girls were leisurely enjoying the scenery on the mounts.

Although Duanmu Huai's physique would not make him tired even if he walked around the world, is it his body that is tired? No, it's his heart that is tired!

"Look at you, you all have mounts, but I'm the only one walking, ah......"

Duanmu Huai complained again, shook his head and continued to move forward, and at this moment, Ogis reached out and patted Duanmu Huai's helmet.

"Don't be sad, master, I will ride you."

"………………"

I don't know if it's an illusion, Duanmu Huai felt that his legs seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!!!"

At this moment, suddenly a rapid bell sounded in the distance, which made everyone who had walked for a day and were already a little tired startled.

"What happened?"

"I don't know... Well, according to the records on the map, Nanhai Town is ahead."

Duanmu Huai took out the map and took a look, and then compared the location of himself and others. Their original plan was to pass through the Silver Pine Forest and then go to Nanhai Town in Hillsbrad Foothills, and taste the food of this world and experience the civilized customs and customs here.

So now it looks like something went wrong?

"I'll go check out the situation, you guys just follow me!"

After saying this, Duanmu Huai flew straight into the sky, taking Ogis with him towards the place where the alarm sounded. The four girls were left there in a daze, looking at each other, but they didn't act immediately.

As for the reason, it's very simple.

"I, I can't ride a horse, right? Maria?"

"I can't ride a horse either, Mio-sama."

Mio Naruse and Maria were confused. Sitting on a horse was definitely no problem, but galloping on a horse was beyond their ability. These two were high-level demons, flying around on weekdays. Who would have nothing to do but ride a horse?

As for the other side, Homura Akemi and Kisara were also at a loss. If it was some kind of mechanical vehicle, Homura Akemi could still use her magic to control the other party to move forward, but a warhorse? This was beyond Homura Akemi's ability.

Not to mention Kisara, she also flew around all day, how could she ride a horse?

So what should we do now?

Duanmu Huai naturally didn't need to worry about this problem. He flew around in the air and soon found Nanhai Town.

But this time...

"Wow, this is really amazing."

Looking at the Nanhai Town below, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh.

I saw that hundreds of skeleton soldiers surrounded the entire Nanhai Town. One side of Nanhai Town was close to the sea, and these skeleton soldiers blocked the remaining three places. At present, the soldiers of Nanhai Town are fighting against those skeleton soldiers with the help of simple roadblocks.

Duanmu Huai did not take action immediately, but carefully observed the battle situation below.

It must be said that although Nanhai Town is a small town, it seems that the people here are quite strong, and the layout of this town is also very interesting. However, considering that this is a human town and the undead spirits are nearby, this town can survive here until now, naturally there are two brushes.

But after all, the number of people is still a little less.

There are more and more skeleton guards. Although the quality does not seem to be very high, the number is definitely higher than that of Nanhai Town. At present, Nanhai Town can only rely on this unreliable defense to hold out for a while longer.

Then, let's do it.

Duanmu Huai quickly locked onto the target, a necromancer who was in a cemetery, and the reason why it attracted Duanmu Huai's attention was very simple.

In such a dark place, it glowed from time to time, and anyone who was not blind could see it!

So Duanmu Huai did not hesitate and rushed towards the necromancer!

At the same time, in Nanhai Town, the battle was still in full swing.

"Hold it for me, you must hold it!!"

Sheriff Redpath waved the long sword in his hand, chopped down the skeleton soldiers in front of him, and shouted loudly.

At the same time, a series of ice rainstorms fell from the sky and landed in the sea of ​​skeletons, instantly freezing a large number of skeleton guards in front. This made Redpath relieved, and he hurriedly stepped back and looked at Mayor Heni Marebu who was holding a staff beside him.

"Mayor, we can't go on like this, we can't hold on for too long!"

"But we have no way to retreat, we must persist."

As the mayor, Heni Mareb is not very old, but his expression is very resolute and strong.

"These undead are not the forgotten, but the summoned dead soldiers. As long as the summoners who manipulate them are defeated, the siege can be lifted."

"We have tried several times, but all failed."

Redpath shook his head, he also understood. But the necromancer on the opposite side hid himself very deeply. Redpath led his security team to charge several times but failed, and instead lost several good guys, which made him a little impatient.

"I will go out in person this time."

"Mayor?"

Hearing the decision of Mayor Mareb, Redpath looked at him in surprise.

"Are you serious? If that necromancer sees you, he will definitely try his best to stop you!"

"That's right, so I'm just a bait. Once that necromancer mobilizes his forces to deal with me, the defense in other directions will become weak. At that time, you will lead a team to break through the siege and then kill him with the sword!"

"This............"

Faced with the decision made by Mayor Marebu, Redpath was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth.

"Okay, I will definitely complete the task!"

"That's good. In any case, the people of Nanhai Town will depend on us."

While speaking, Mayor Marebu also clenched the staff in his hand and took a deep breath. After all, he was a mage and was not good at this kind of battle standing in the front. But the current situation did not allow him to make a choice, so Mayor Marebu looked around again and shouted loudly.

"Guardians of Nanhai Town, listen to me..."

"Swoosh---"

However, Mayor Marebu hadn't finished his words when suddenly a dazzling flash of light streaked through the dark night sky like a meteor and slammed heavily behind the skeleton army.

The next moment, the skeleton guards who were still frantically attacking Nanhai Town suddenly scattered on the ground like puppets with their strings cut, and there was no movement. Obviously, this was the result of the necromancer who summoned them being killed.

However, what was going on?

Redpath and Mayor Marebu looked at each other, both of them were a little confused and puzzled, and at this moment, heavy footsteps sounded.

"Dong... Dong... Dong... Dong..."

The footsteps seemed slow and steady, but with an uneasy sense of tension. The Nanhai Town guards who had just fought to the death with the skeletons instinctively took a few steps back. Then, under the blazing fire, everyone saw a dark, huge figure slowly emerging from the night, with a pair of scarlet eyes emitting a heart-pounding light...

"Tell me your name! Outsider!!"

Although there were various problems, Duanmu Huai felt that it was a wise decision to bring Ogis with him.

At least a girl who looked weak could reduce the uneasiness and vigilance of others after seeing her. In fact, if it weren't for Ogis, the guards of Nanhai Town would have been unable to resist attacking Duanmu Huai.

"Thank you for your help."

With room to talk, the tense atmosphere between the two sides eased a lot. Although Duanmu Huai looked very fierce and the armor he wore didn't look like a good person, he did help Nanhai Town eliminate a big threat. Of course, Mayor Marebu also asked Duanmu Huai about his origins, and Duanmu Huai naturally said that he was an adventurer. He had learned from the records of the Dark City that there were many adventurers in this world, and he just used them as a shield.

When Naruse Mio and others arrived, Mayor Mareb and Sheriff Redpath also completely let down their guard and began to treat Duanmu Huai and others as real adventurers.

After learning that Duanmu Huai and others came from Silver Pine Forest, Mayor Mareb also hurriedly asked them if they knew about the abnormality in Tirisfal Glades. Duanmu Huai did not say it directly, but just kept it a secret and said that the undead spirits there should have been completely wiped out. Speaking of which, he was curious why there were still so many undead spirits in Nanhai Town.

As a result, after listening to Mayor Mareb's explanation... Well, how to say it?

It's better to cremate it.

At least the ashes won't crawl up and bite people.

Duanmu Huai also asked Mayor Mareb about the situation nearby. Although there is a map, the map will not produce current news after all. He also wants to find out the current situation of the human country in this world.

Sure enough, according to Mayor Mareb, the situation here is not very good at the moment.

And all of this...is related to the tribe.
