I Want To Be a Nobleman

"Rand, change the plan, organize the soldiers to fight, remember to be careful not to rush in, these monsters are not easy to mess with!"

"Yes, brother, I knew you wouldn't!" Rand didn't say a complete sentence, but the meaning was clearly conveyed.

Harold smiled wryly. He really failed Rand's vision, but these are not important. What matters is to deal with these raging monsters quickly.

A large number of civilians have attracted the attention of the monster tentacles. It is not difficult for Harold and his soldiers to kill the monsters. These monsters have no defense at all, or there is no organ to sense the attack.

They were encircled and killed while slaughtering civilians. Although it was cruel to say so, these civilians acted as cannon fodder very well, which was much easier than fighting monsters head-on.

Unexpectedly, the chaotic battle didn't last too long. It only lasted for more than an hour, and all the tentacles were killed, and there was no movement in the ground.

Among them, Crom contributed the most. Most of the tentacles that relied on life energy to search for enemies were attracted by him alone. Hundreds of tentacles were completely rushing to attack Crom, which greatly reduced the casualties of civilians. Harold and others Difficulty of payment by people.

It is not too difficult to rescue Crom with soldiers behind. Although these tentacles are amazingly lethal, they are not very intelligent. They are not too difficult to deal with in the face of intensive shooting of long-range weapons and knight groups. At least they are easier to deal with than the orc army. many.

"What's the matter? This is solved?" Harold was a little unbelievable. He had cut less than a thousand tentacles, and none of them could release magic bombardment. These ordinary tentacles Without the suddenness of the underground raid, the threat is not too great.

However, although it was much easier than expected, the actual damage was great. Thousands of civilians died, and hundreds of soldiers died in battle. Kryon was also bitten because he was too reckless. The hard scales and muscles have good defense. After bandaging, use There is nothing serious about magical healing once turned over, but it is impossible to fight for a short time.

Crom was a little bit out of strength. His anger was getting stronger and stronger, and his combat power was rising with the struggle. However, no matter how strong his body was, there was a limit. Even his most intense eruption for so long was still unbearable.

"I pulled out the tentacles, be careful!" Harold was absolutely willing to explore, this time the tentacles did not recover quickly after being beheaded, and the broken half fell to the ground instead.

As Harold exerted his strength, he felt something rubbing and dragging under the ground. Harold was a little uncomfortable with this feeling, so he quickly pulled it and withdrew from the rest of the ground.

It's not a tentacle anymore! This turned out to be a complete individual, with a head and a tail, as if it was no different from an ordinary giant earthworm monster. Wait, the giant earthworm monster is definitely not ordinary, and the description is not quite right.

But in short, the horror of this monster was much less. Harold and the others thought they would find something amazing.

The sun priest thought for a while, and gave a guess in a questioning tone: "Could it be that the essence of that monster is the collection of countless such individuals? If they can be assembled together, they can naturally be divided!"

Harold felt that it made sense when he heard it. Recalling the memory of that day, the monster was indeed not like a normal creature. It had no fixed shape at all, just like a fluid. The densely packed tentacles were twisted and interlaced to form a huge monster full of weirdness and horror. It is very likely that it is this special life form.

The savages Cleon and Crom didn't understand, so Harold motioned them to look over.

"Look, this is a necklace!" Harold took out a pearl necklace and showed it to Kryon and Crom.

"Now, the necklace is an individual, but when I take off a bead, the bead is also an individual!" Harold's vivid teaching made Crom and Kryon roughly understand the meaning of sun sacrifice.

"However, even if flesh and blood can be absorbed, melted and condensed together, what about consciousness?" The Sun Priest didn't understand, but Harold guessed somewhat. Many insects and other creatures in previous lives were not conscious individually, but they did have consciousness. Collective consciousness, this monster should be in a similar situation.

"In other words, these earthworm monsters are all split from that big guy's body?" Kryon didn't bother to think about the things he didn't understand, and asked the most important question.

"It should be. Keep your spirits up. Although I don't know why this monster split into these individuals, it might attack again. The next journey will not be so easy!"

Sun Priest's expression was a little downcast. Although it was much better than the ending of the group's destruction, it still cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.

In order to prevent further attacks, Harold didn't let people stop to rest. The desert at night was too cold to hurry, and he had to rest if he didn't rest. The time during the day must not be wasted.

The corpses of relatives and friends were exposed in the wilderness like this. After experiencing the attack of terrifying monsters but unable to take a good rest, enduring exhaustion, suppressing fear, and only relying on the support of their inner yearning for a better future, the civilians stepped forward and hurried on their way.

A lot of livestock fled during the attack just now, which is also bad news, and everything else is fine, but the loss of water and food is a problem, and rations have to be reduced, which again aggravates the low morale of the team.

There is nothing Harold can do. Anyway, let's go down if you are down. There will be splinters of terrifying monsters chasing after you at any time. You must not slow down. The limitation of food and water sources also makes them have to speed up to cross the desert.

"After crossing the desert, everything will be fine!" Harold could only comfort Rand in this way. Unlike Harold, he has a strong ability to empathize, and the sorrow of others will greatly affect his heart, saying To be honest, this kind of personality is not suitable for troubled times.

Meanwhile, another bad news arrived.

"I feel some pus from the wound!" Kryon's words stunned both Harold and the Sun Priest. They used divine magic to heal Kryon, and the wound healed. How could this happen?

Kryon tore off his coat, revealing a foul-smelling black-purple wound. Kryon was bitten by a tentacle viciously over half of his body while he was transformed. Although he wasn't bitten through his body, the wound was indeed Very serious.

Although these monsters are insane, they don't know how to defend and dodge and are easy to be killed, but their lethality is nothing to say. Except for Kryon, other soldiers and knights die with one bite, so this situation only happened to Kryon. .

"That monster is definitely poisoned or cursed!" Harold hammered the ground angrily, the sun magic couldn't purify it, it was definitely not an ordinary wound infection.

"Go back and find a way to let the elves see it!" The sun priest also tried his best to turn over and shook his head, and the expression on his face was very solemn. The inside of Kryon's wound began to rot, and it was slowly expanding. There is no way to save Kryon.

Due to the limitation of strength, the resurrection technique cast by the sun priest cannot dispel the abnormal state of the dead body. If the curse or toxin on Kryon's body cannot be cleared, even if he is dead and resurrected, he will die again.
