Chapter 60 Shen Mu came to meet There was a gray fog in the darkness. Bandak held a heavy crossbow in his hand and glanced expressionlessly at the 100 farmers and 30 robbers who had followed him all the way, feeling very heavy in his heart. The darkness came suddenly, including the gray fog that emerged quietly. It seemed to envelope them in just a moment. Very weird. But the only thing to be thankful for was that they now lit up the forty or fifty torches that they had prepared in advance, illuminating the surroundings. I can barely see clearly within a range of four or five meters around me. "Mr. Bandak, something is wrong." A mercenary crossbowman who had been following Bandak raised his crossbow and reminded him, "It suddenly got dark, and there's fog. I always feel like there's something bad in the darkness around us."
"Well, then we should be more vigilant." Bandak nodded. He had the same feeling in his heart. Very bad feeling. And in his heart, the sixth sense of crisis that he had developed from spending a long time on the battlefields of the chaotic continent of Calradia was now reminding him that it would be best to leave here as quickly as possible! Bandak felt a little afraid. Bandak just turned his head and glanced at the hundreds of Swadian farmers following him, each carrying big and small bags, leaning on pitchforks or wooden sticks, looking miserable, and he couldn't bear it. Thinking of my past perseverance and my compassion for civilians and ordinary people. Bandak said solemnly to the hired crossbowmen behind him, "Tell those farmers to gather together as much as possible. Let those holding long-pole weapons such as pitchforks or sticks stand on the outside to cooperate with the robbers holding butcher knives. Don't panic no matter what happens. Stand still and stabilize the formation. We will come over to provide support in time." “…Mr. Bandak, these are just some farmers and bandits.” Behind Bandak, several mercenary crossbowmen who had a good relationship with him looked hesitant. They did respect Bandak, a crossbow master who was one of the most famous in the continent of Calradia. Whether on a brutal battlefield or in daily life, people show great respect. But now, these mercenary crossbowmen were hesitant in their tone. Because they understand. Here, this world has been occupied by darkness and is filled with gray fog. It seems to be the legendary person, who is praised throughout the entire Calradia continent, and belongs to the alien world where Lord Shen Mu is. It is a unique situation! According to rumors. This place is filled with all kinds of horrible monsters and dead bodies that are still moving. There are even skeletons that will pounce on people when they see them. Extremely scary! So, when they heard the meaning of Bandak's words, they also wanted them to be prepared if they encountered any terrible things next time. They also protected the farmers who followed them. It's just a bit...
Too kind. "The idea of these immigrants is to go to Lord Shen Mu's village and seek refuge with him." Bandak pursed his lips slightly. Born in the Rhodok Mountains, he had a simple and honest face and a mind as tough as a rock, so he said very seriously: "We also want to seek refuge with Lord Shen Mu. If we abandon these civilians who have followed us all the way and seek refuge with Lord Shen Mu when we encounter danger, then we will be no different from those shameful deserters who have lost their honor." Bandake finally spoke slowly: "When the time comes, Lord Shen Mu will look down on us." "..." After hearing what Bandak said, these mercenary crossbowmen didn't say much in the end. They were now convinced by Bandak. Or. Because of his admiration for Lord Shen Mu, he did not want to leave a bad first impression in front of this legendary figure. So these mercenary crossbowmen picked up their crossbows and chose to fight. "Also, tell the robbers who are following us to take the crossbow with them. It is our gift to Lord Shen Mu." At this time, Bandak reminded in a deep voice. "Understood." The mercenary crossbowman next to him immediately turned around and reminded him. So they continued to move forward. Although there is no real route guidance, you can only move forward in the dark by feeling. But faintly. Whether they are civilians, robbers, or hired crossbowmen. Everyone has a feeling in their hearts. As long as you keep going along this road, you will find Lord Shen Mu’s village! Bandak was more sensitive to this special feeling, so he encouraged in a deep voice: "Let's hurry up. Maybe if we go a little further, we can see Lord Shen Mu's village." Just as the team continues to move forward. As the gray mist spread. Faintly, a series of strange sounds gradually appeared around him. In the darkness filled with gray fog, they were getting closer and closer, and more and more. It even looks like it’s gradually surrounding us! "Prepare for battle!" Bandak didn't bother to lower his voice at this time. He just raised the heavy crossbow in his hand and issued a loud warning. "Prepare for battle!" Not only Bandak, but also the mercenary crossbowmen beside him, the 100 farmers and 30 robbers behind him, had already started to move in a disorderly manner. Looking at the darkness around them, their faces became extremely solemn. Because just at the outermost edge, the peasants or robbers holding torches could see it clearly. Each of them was illuminated by the dim firelight.
Gray mist lingered all over his body. Shaky. Limped. Staggering. Zombies with purple faces, or simply skeletons covered with bones, were slowly walking out of the darkness. The bodies of the deceased, which should have been in the coffins in the cemetery, suddenly appeared before their eyes. Still moving, attacking them! "shoot!" Bandak raised the heavy crossbow in his hand and pulled the trigger on the spot. The steel crossbow arrow shot out. With a bang, a skeleton soldier wearing rotten armor, a rotten leather helmet on his head, his whole body made of bones, and only a faint blue soul fire flashing in his eyes was instantly shot in the head! 'Bang bang bang bang! ' The sounds of crossbows shooting one after another could be heard all around. These mercenary crossbowmen also performed their accurate shooting at close range. No matter whether they were skeletons or zombies, these low-level undead creatures, they were accurately nailed on the forehead with steel or iron crossbow arrows. Use physical means to shatter the undead cores in their minds. Destroyed their soul fire. Let these undead creatures return to the state of death to which they were supposed to return. "Hold on! We need to break out!" But there was no trace of relief on Bandak's face at this time. Instead, it became more solemn. He hung the heavy crossbow in his hand, which had already been fired once, directly on the hook on his back. Now he directly drew out the mace in his hand, raised the leather round shield on his left arm, and began to prepare for close combat. "Prepare to break out!" The mercenary crossbowmen also put away their crossbows and took out their combat hoes and old round shields. They are all ready for close combat! Including the 100 civilians in the back holding pitchforks or sticks, and the 30 robbers who worked together with seven or eight people and carried a crossbow. At this time, they all took out their melee weapons and rushed forward behind the mercenary crossbowmen. Breaking through requires speed. And it takes timing. Now, it was obvious that the terrifying undead monsters around them had not completely surrounded them. They will take advantage of this opportunity to rush towards the direction indicated by the sixth sense that they all have in their hearts, which knows the location of Lord Shen Mu's village! Maybe this is the only way to have a chance of survival! Besides, they also discovered.
These so-called undead monsters do look scary. But this actual combat power... Seems a bit weak! No, not a little weak. Instead, these farmers holding pitchforks, sticks and clubs, as long as they have the courage to use their weapons to swing at those zombies or skeletons, they can easily knock them down! These undead monsters were clumsy and slow in their movements and were no match for them humans. Now, as Bandak and the mercenary crossbowmen rushed in front. The robbers and farmers behind him followed closely. Ran about a hundred meters. It's already faint. I saw in front of me, what seemed to be a huge city wall! And a gap about 5 meters wide appeared in the city wall. And right in that gap. Rushing out with a roar was led by a knight wearing bright silver armor and riding a white horse, followed by 10 Swadian heavy cavalrymen! "Mr. Bandak." A smiling voice came from the other side: "And everyone, welcome to my village." It was Shen Mu who came to support them riding on the Holy Tree Horse and bringing the Swadian heavy cavalry!
