Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 914 896. Plantization

 But Lorenzo decided to sacrifice a knight to buy most of the people time to retreat.

 But Lan En is not optimistic.

 Because from the very beginning, the first thing the witcher heard was the sounds coming from other areas above the high wall.

Those voices occurred earlier than the mutation of the former knight leader in front of me.

 The same sound of flesh being torn apart, blood being splashed, followed by inhuman roars.

This is not an accident that only happened to the person in front of me. There are probably many such things in the entire high wall area.

Even if we retreat, won’t we encounter the same things on the road?

 So we must find a way to deal with this monster.

 But where is the weakness?

How to deal with it?

The monster knowledge of the witcher is something that has been summed up at the expense of many human lives and a lot of intelligence and academic reports.

 But at the moment just now, Lan En was in the process of scanning his eyes.

  The roar of the monster was different from the previous ones and immediately caught Lorenzo's attention.

People have understood that the bone structure on the gryphon's wings has weaknesses. As long as an arrow is nailed to the right position or other methods are used to cause damage, it will be difficult for this monster to fly again in a short time.

Finally, when the Lothric knight who was ready to die was bitten horizontally by the snake's head and knocked his shield away, Lan En's eyes suddenly lit up!

 On the high wall of Lothric, there are soldiers patrolling from time to time, and the sky has been under the darkness of the "Bleeding Eclipse" recently.

You cannot use [Spirit Vision] to see through this unseen monster from a deeper perspective.

 In the previous fierce entanglement, these small lanterns had long been broken.

 But with the computing power of Mentos to capture the scene, calculate the angle of light and shadow, and determine the relationship between distance and distance, its tail has indeed retracted!

The black mud snake twitched in the flames, causing it to be completely unable to attack. With this window period, Lan En, Lorenzo, and the Lothric knight who was chosen as the backing, immediately took action together!

 Two of them had white afterimages on their bodies, and the violent movements caused explosions in the surrounding air. They were combat techniques that used the power of their souls.

The twisting of the black mud snake also threw the flames on its body to other places around it. Many small flames immediately broke out around him.

It can continuously emit a stream of scorching magic fire, which can continue until the chaos magic power in the demon hunter's body is exhausted, or it can actively stop.

 But Lan En didn’t think he was without any countermeasures.

His eyes kept moving on the monster, and Mentos also provided more detailed calculation support for analysis.

Mentos concluded calmly, and Lan agreed with this statement.

 So the monster that could once contain a hundred-man army has now arrived. As long as they have experience, a ten-person team of ordinary people is enough to kill one.

 Aerial combat is an area that humans can’t even imagine.

But when the tail of the black mud snake just slightly swept across the small flame, it suddenly retracted a little as if it was cramping!

 A beam of orange heat from Mars suddenly rushed towards the huge body of the black mud snake from the side!

 “Hiss!!”

Therefore, small lanterns with glass lanterns are placed at the base and corners of walls. It is convenient for patrol soldiers to carry, and the white candle burns quietly in the lantern.

The newly appointed knight commander immediately discovered that under the flames, this difficult monster seemed to be very flammable.

 Before the structural weaknesses in the griffin wings were discovered by demon hunters and mages.

So an adult griffon could easily harass a hundred-man team in that era and put them in a dilemma. The gryphon itself comes and goes as it pleases.

 Only a pool of wax tears and fragments were left.

Immediately rushed forward with a big sword.

 “It should be afraid of fire, sir.”

 It was not much bigger than a mung bean, and it was swaying as if it was on the verge of extinguishing.

The inhuman roar sounded again, but this time, the emotion contained in it was not 'destructive desire, violence', but 'pain'!

Lan En held the seal in his left hand, and continuous sparks and heat flow erupted from the seal. That was the variation of [Igni Seal] he learned from the knowledge of the Wolf School.

 It is too ugly to face a senseless beast and not see through him.

The amplitude of the twitching was very small, and it was even more difficult to distinguish under the color of the opponent's body, which looked like flowing black mud.

 A gryphon that soars in the sky and swoops down to prey from time to time is simply impossible to deal with.

Obviously the flames only hit one side of it, but in the blink of an eye, the entire monster was on fire.

He first instinctively realized something was wrong, and then Mentos immediately locked onto the image he had just scanned.

The difficulty of dealing with a monster whose weaknesses are clear is simply not on the same level as a monster that knows nothing about it.

 And the terrifying and powerful black mud body was twisted, as if it had suffered uncontrollable twitching and twisting due to excessive pain in the flames.

Lothric knights were retreating steadily, but Lan was still staring at the black mud snake group not far away that was entangled with a knight.

 Lorenzo made a prompt decision.

 In terms of skills in the profession of demon hunter alone, the weight of monster knowledge is much more important than most people think.

That is a small flame burning quietly in a pool of wax tears.

 But after spending many lives, money, and research time.

 So just when the black mud snake group knocked open the shield of the Lothric knight behind him, and was about to bite half of his body in one bite.

  “呲~”

Lan En, on the other hand, used the skills of swordsmanship. With a flick of his left hand, he wrapped the flame around the knife, and then charged forward and slashed!

 【Wuxin flow·Flowing fire blade】!

Three attacks without any scruples and with full strength fell on the monster writhing and wailing in the flames in an instant.

 The sound of "La La La" sounded from the black mud, asphalt-like body, which was the sound of weapons cutting in.

  “Hiss!”     In the end, it was like the death of a snake.

The black mud snake group suddenly made a tense movement, and let out the most miserable roar so far.

The black mud that flows endlessly all over the body slows down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

 As the flow of black mud slowed down, the entire black body was like cement drying quickly, turning into a stiff, gray-white stone texture.

　　The weapon that was hacked into it was a little difficult to pull out for a while.

But fortunately, this monster that suddenly appeared has been solved.

Lorenzo stepped on the dead and petrified monster, and pulled out his big sword.

 “Is this thing afraid of fire? Okay, just know its weak point.”

 He was obviously relieved.

“Yeah, if you didn’t see that it’s afraid of fire, then this thing would be really difficult to deal with.”

 Lan En also shook his head and sighed, and smoothly drew out the Lake Lady's Sword without hesitation, and also helped the Lothric knight beside him draw out the spear he had just thrust into it.

“Coup, a monster I’ve never seen before, I won’t be surprised what the city of Lothric has become now.”

Lorenzo smiled happily.

“I didn’t expect you to be a magician? But it doesn’t matter. At this time, it doesn’t matter even if you are a magician. You don’t need to hide your identity.”

 Lan En nodded indifferently on the surface. In fact, he had no idea whether the word "spellman" was a good word or a bad word in this world.

 Sounds like in normal times, spellcasters like ‘spellcasters’ are not very popular?

However, when this flame is about to extinguish, even the rules that stabilize the world are collapsing, not to mention the prejudices of human society?

"I have to make it clear to you first." Lan grabbed Lorenzo's arm and said to him seriously. "I actually heard a lot of these monsters roaring just now. Do you understand what I mean?"

 After the prince's coup was launched, this kind of monster that no one had ever seen suddenly appeared in the city of Lothric. The fool should know that this was not a coincidence.

Lorenzo’s expression changed first, and one and a half of his eyebrows knitted together.

 But then he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

“The royal family has fallen so far. Fortunately, the power involved in the [Abyss] has been found. We have found the weakness of this thing.”

It is true that this kind of monster that has never been seen before is difficult to deal with. More than a dozen of them, the Lothric knights, were helpless when facing it.

 But after being exposed to fire, this thing will struggle in the flames regardless of it for a few seconds.

If the attack waves are distributed properly, throw a lit rocket or torch at it so that it doesn't care about attack and defense, and then several knights will attack with all their strength without any scruples.

 A few seconds are enough to kill it.

 This is the importance of intelligence. The dozen Lothric knights just now could only think of retreating. Now he is ready to kill this monster in a few seconds.

The knights are fully equipped. In addition to their respective melee weapons, they are also equipped with knight crossbows and crossbow arrows.

Moreover, some armaments are also stored in various towers on the high walls of Lothric.

 There is something called a "flame pot" inside, and when thrown out, it becomes an incendiary bomb.

 “Go to my church first.” Priest Emma said at this time.

“The church is one of the passages that connects the inner city to the high wall, and there are also my priests there.”

“No matter what, it’s definitely right to go there first.”

 The idea of ​​Emma's officiant was approved by Lorenzo, and the opinion of the head of the knights was the opinion of the knights.

 So a group of people became vigilant and prepared to go to the high-walled church managed by the presiding priest.

 After a group of people left the area raided by the sages, they truly saw what Lothric had become now.

 Elevate the power of the city so that all you can see from the high walls is a sea of ​​clouds.

 Many unstable buildings collapsed and were damaged in the process.

 And that’s not the worst.

 The worst thing is the people in this city.

 It seems that with the outbreak of the coup, these people who were somewhat normal and somewhat sane all lost their minds and went crazy.

 They turned a deaf ear to the collapse of buildings and the distant cries of killing.

Like being immersed in prayer, kneeling on the roadside, folding your hands toward the sky or bending down to worship.

It’s just that Lan En even thought that he had seen it wrong, and he checked it several times.

Roots are beginning to grow on these people's bodies.

 Similar to the roots of a plant.

 And on those roots, there was a faint viscous black liquid dripping.

These falling objects, which look like flaky ash, are problematic.

 Lan En guessed so.

 Because a coup obviously should not affect the physical state of the residents.

Rather, it was the same flaky ash falling objects that no one had seen before that they saw on the road before the coup.

 No one has ever seen it, suddenly appeared, and after the appearance, the situation of the residents became like this

 When these circumstances are combined, the problems and suspicions are too great.

Moreover, the roots on the residents and the black droplets falling down looked very similar to the dirt on the wounds of the former Knight Commander.
