Come to another world and become a lord

Chapter 187 Breakout

The next step was the real difficulty. Carl had to lead his team to escort the Crusaders to retreat out of the forest. It was relatively easy to get in, but it was not so easy to get out. The vampires' initial plan was to lure them into the depths, and then set up a trap to surround and kill them.

Carl could even hear the rustling sound coming from the surrounding bushes. Even though he couldn't see them, he knew clearly that the enemy was surrounding them from all directions.

"Everyone, form a line!" He gave the order calmly. Although his voice was not loud, it seemed extremely powerful at this moment.

The musketeers moved quickly, forming a neat firing formation, using the cave entrance as their base, aiming their guns at the surrounding darkness, each with a nervous but determined look. The matches were all lit, ready to fire at any time. The remaining knights of the Crusaders stood on both sides of the formation, most of them were seriously injured, but they still stood up straight, holding their swords, ready to fight at any time.

"Don't let your guard down, they're coming." Carl whispered, his eyes sharp as a knife. The sounds around him were getting louder and louder, the sound of trees shaking, the sound of footsteps on the ground, and the howling of ghosts and wolves. Even if he couldn't see clearly, he could feel that the other party was approaching.

Suddenly, there were low growls coming from the front, almost at hand, and dozens of twisted figures suddenly jumped out from the surrounding bushes, their sharp claws flashing coldly in the night.

"Fire!" Carl ordered without hesitation.

Gunshots exploded like thunder, and the fire illuminated an area ahead. The zombies that rushed over were instantly torn apart by the barrage of bullets, and their limbs and bodies splattered on the ground. After several rounds of shooting, the ground was already full of corpses, but the enemy's offensive did not weaken at all. More zombies surged out of the darkness, as if endless.

"Eleanor!" Carl quickly looked at the female pastor behind him with a serious expression.

Eleanor nodded, clasped her hands together, and began to chant a prayer. As she spoke, a holy light descended from the sky, dispelling the surrounding darkness and shrouding the team. The zombies in the front row twisted in pain under the holy light, their skin began to smoke, and they screamed shrilly, and finally fell to the ground burning.

However, they were still rushing forward, endlessly, as if they could never be killed. As the holy light lit up, Carl also saw the clothes of these zombies. Among them, there were not only fully armed zombies wearing armor, but also many unarmed zombies. From their simple clothes, it was not difficult to see that they were all poor people in their lives, either serfs or low-level craftsmen. They rushed over in an overwhelming manner. At this moment, Carl even felt that the residents of the entire Walter Territory had gathered in this small forest.

Eleanor covered her mouth in surprise:

"Oh my God~ What is this... How could they do this!"

"They killed their own subjects to expand their army." Alia said expressionlessly, drawing out her flaming sword. The flame instantly ignited, illuminating her already red armor.

"Keep shooting! Don't let them get close!" Carl shouted.

The musketeers opened fire again, and the night was filled with gunshots and howls. The zombies' attacks became more and more fierce, and they came from all directions, trying to surround Carl's team. Every time a wave of enemies fell, new zombies quickly filled the gap. It seemed that there was no end to the attacks, and there was not much ammunition left.

Finally, after the seventh round of shooting, the musketeers ran out of ammunition. Seeing this, Alia roared and rushed towards the zombies with a flaming sword in hand. Her figure was like a burning flame, drawing a brilliant trail in the darkness. The flaming sword seemed to have life in her hand. Every time she swung it, it would bring about a sea of ​​fire, turning the surrounding corpses into ashes.

Each of her swings was accurate. Under her skilled manipulation, the flaming sword was like a dancing fire dragon. Wherever it passed, the corpses fell down one after another and turned into ashes. Her movements were swift and decisive. Every turn and jump was full of power. The light of the flaming sword formed a protective circle around her, repelling the approaching corpses one by one.

The knights of the Crusaders also joined the battle with her. Although they were wounded, they still waved their swords and tried their best to protect the team. Grand Commander Aiden took the lead, roaring and hacking at the enemy.

Just as everyone was involved in the fierce battle, a roar suddenly came from the sky, followed by a strong wind. When Carl looked up, he saw a huge bat monster flapping its wings and making a deafening roar. It rushed directly towards the musketeer formation behind and crashed into the ground, raising a cloud of dust. This sudden attack made almost everyone unable to react. Countless people were knocked out and fell to the ground.

Even Eleanor, who was standing at the edge of the array, lost her balance under the impact and stumbled to the ground. For a moment, her magic was interrupted, the holy light disappeared from her hands, and the surroundings returned to darkness again.

The girl tried hard to get up, and then she saw the huge bat monster starting to walk towards her. It seemed that its initial target was the female priest.

"Eleanor!" Karl yelled, and then shouted to the Musketeers, "Stop it!"

At this moment, the members of the musketeers finally reacted. Almost at the same time, everyone inserted silver-plated bayonets into the barrels of their guns and then bravely stabbed the bat monster. However, even if the silver-plated weapons were useful, the physical difference between the two sides could not be made up. The bat monster suddenly flapped its wings, and the strong wind forced everyone back. Then it pounced on the team, directly tore a musketeer to pieces with its claws, and opened its mouth wide to pick up another one and threw him high into the sky.

Amira looked at everything in front of her, slowly took out the spell book from her sleeve, and was about to cast a spell, but was stopped by Carl.

The latter shook his head and then whispered:

"No, the Crusaders are here."

But was refuted by the female mage:

"It's already so late, my life is almost gone."

"At least not so obvious!" Carl whispered.

Amira thought for a moment, then nodded as if she had thought of something.

"I see. Then you go ahead!"

"Me?" Carl looked puzzled. However, before he could react, the female magician began to chant a spell at him:

"Magic shield, soul armor, weapon enchantment - lightning, strength enhancement, acceleration..."

As Amira chanted the spell over and over, Carl suddenly felt as if his body was filled with some kind of energy. For a moment he had endless strength, and at the same time the sword in his hand began to be covered with sparks of lightning.

After chanting a series of spells, Amira pushes him forward and says:

"The bat is up to you!"

At this time, the bat monster had pushed through the crowd and rushed to Eleanor. The latter stood up and chanted the magic again. The holy light appeared again and began to burn the monster's skin. However, the monster did not retreat. Instead, it endured the burning and swung its claws at Eleanor.

The female priest was stunned. She had never expected this situation. It was too late for her to dodge and she could only close her eyes in despair. Then she heard a sound of metal collision. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that Carl had come to her at some point and blocked the bat monster's attack with his sword.

Then Carl exerted force suddenly and actually knocked the opponent's giant claw away.

Such a terrifying power completely surpassed the scope of human beings. Even Carl himself found it incredible. He never thought that Amira could use this kind of auxiliary spell. If he had known this, he should have let her use it more often. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a superhero now.

Then he swung his sword a few more times and shouted at the bat monster:

"Come on, monster! Fight with your grandfather!"
