Chapter 145 Fury Rescue

Chapter 146 Fury Rescue

At this time, in the west tower where Richard's father, the old baron, was trapped, many hyena-like monsters the size of calves had already filled the narrow staircase in the tower.

If Richard was at the scene, he would immediately recognize that these small monsters were called bucktooth hyenas. They looked a bit similar to hyenas among ordinary wild beasts, but their two iconic upper jaw incisors were as prominent as the lower jaw canines, about ten centimeters long and extremely sharp.

So the whole appearance of the bucktooth hyenas looked uglier. At the same time, they had sharper claws and stronger limbs than ordinary hyenas, and their running speed and flexibility were also higher.

What's more troublesome is that they are also clearly organized behind them, just like ordinary hyena groups have hyena queens behind them to command them in a unified manner.

Small monsters like bucktooth hyenas usually hunt in groups of dozens, and they also have bucktooth hyena queens to command them in a unified manner.

However, thanks to the narrow circular staircase around the wall in the tower, many bucktoothed hyenas could not rush up at once.

Because the narrow circular staircase around the wall can only allow two adults to walk side by side, three people must be staggered. For bucktoothed hyenas with shoulder widths similar to that of adults, or even wider, at most, only two or three can attack at the same time.

If there are three, this is the case when one of them jumps high and attacks from above the other two. If there are more, they will be blocked by the bucktoothed hyenas in front and cannot attack the castle guards diagonally opposite the circular staircase.

The second geographical advantage is that the bucktoothed hyenas attack from the lower stairs to the higher stairs, while Baron Clavel and his guards defend on the high stairs, perfectly occupying the terrain advantage and attacking from above.

The last reason is that the old baron has been on the battlefield for a long time and has the strength of an intermediate knight. After occupying the narrow circular staircase, he can be said to be a one-man defense against ten thousand men.

The old baron held a sword and shield and stood firmly in the middle of the stairs. With the support of the guards on both sides, he prevented many bucktooth hyenas from rushing through. This move greatly boosted the morale of the guards in the tower.

But in the east tower, it was a different scene.

Knight Rawlins, the sheriff of Silverpine Town, was only a junior knight in terms of strength, and he had been promoted for less than two years. Therefore, after struggling to resist the attack of the bucktooth hyenas in a hurry, he was accidentally pounced on the stairs by a ferocious bucktooth hyena.

Although he was barely saved after the strenuous rescue of many guards, his muscles and bones were broken and his combat power was greatly reduced. Fortunately, the knight armor he wore had excellent wrapping. Although the bucktooth hyenas bit him many times, they did not bite through the solid plate armor in a short time.

However, the hyena queen in each group of bucktooth hyenas has a very high intelligence, which is also the most troublesome part. Seeing this, the other party immediately seized the opportunity and organized a group of fierce bucktooth hyenas to force them, which immediately put great psychological pressure on the remaining guards in the east tower.

Bucktooth hyenas often do not need to attack their prey directly, but only need to press step by step. When the psychological pressure of the trapped prey is pushed to an extreme, the prey will either lose its composure, or be forced to actively launch a suicide attack on the bucktooth hyena group, or the prey will be forced into a desperate situation, such as the current situation.

Because the knight-level combat force of Rawlins Knight, who is the core of the east tower, was severely damaged, the tower guards who lacked the backbone were retreating step by step and continuously reduced in number. At present, they have retreated to the highest floor of the tower, and the top of the tower is above.

But as long as you go out of the top of the tower, you will die. A large number of blood vultures and human-faced monster birds in the sky are worried about not finding an attack target.

Just now, a panicked tower guard opened the iron cover on the top floor and stuck his head out. He was instantly pierced and grabbed by the blood vulture's claws. The other guards hurriedly covered the cover.

Now they are in a desperate situation with enemies from both sides!

Looking at the dark mass of vicious bucktooth hyenas, just when Knight Rawlins and the remaining dozen guards were desperate, it seemed that the bucktooth hyenas in front of them had a commotion, and it seemed that the opponent's attack suddenly slowed down.

Although they didn't know the reason, at least they were relieved.

After all, it's good to live one more second!

The commotion was not only in the east tower, but also in the bucktooth hyenas in the four towers.

The instigator was Richard outside!

——

With the abomination clearing the way, the bucktooth hyena pack could not stop Richard's advance at all. Every time the huge abomination chopped with an axe, a bloody rain would be spilt. The bucktooth hyena corpse that was chopped in two was immediately snatched away by the remaining hyenas.

Occasionally, the bucktooth hyenas that escaped the net wanted to attack Richard from behind, but were nailed to the spot by Richard's arrows one by one, and were soon torn and eaten by their own people.

This allowed Richard to rush into the castle very smoothly. As soon as he passed through the damaged gate of the outer castle, Richard saw at a glance the huge mutant crab demon that was destroying the gate of the inner castle!

This scene shocked Richard. "Isn't this the monster from the Gray Fern Wilderness - the Mutant Crab Monster? How did it come to the surface? Could it be that..." Richard thought that the large group of bucktoothed hyenas he had just encountered was organized and controlled by a particularly powerful bucktoothed hyena queen, but the bucktoothed hyena queen could never command a large monster like the mutant crab monster.

Richard had a vague guess in his heart. Although he was thinking, his hands were not slow at all.

The [Mimicry Wristband] instantly changed into a hard metal round shield, attached to Richard's left arm, and his right hand pulled out the gleaming [Ice Guardian], with a dark element shield and skeleton armor as double protection.

Facing this familiar opponent, Richard planned to fight quickly!

The fat and burly Abomination obviously attracted the attention of the equally tall Mutant Crab Demon at the first time.

Under Richard's command, the Abomination roared and immediately abandoned those small monsters and rushed straight to the Mutant Crab Demon.

The Mutant Crab Demon seemed to have the pride of a monster. Facing the fat man rushing towards him with a fierce momentum, he screamed and waved a pair of giant claws to meet him!

"Boom!" The two thick arms of the abomination, which were as thick as the waist of an ordinary man, tightly grasped the joints below the giant claws, and immediately, the claws of the mutant crab demon could not exert the terrifying shearing force, and were lifted up high!

Although Richard's current abomination is not powerful enough compared to the size of the mutant crab demon, at least the gap is not that big, and the weight is not too disadvantageous. They are both super heavyweight players, and they are still a match!

Richard jumped off the wildebeest in an instant and performed the rare zero-level witchcraft [Shadow Dance] that he had just learned.

When Richard jumped into the shadow area behind the abomination, his speed increased sharply, and he directly stabbed the mutant crab demon who was wrestling with the abomination with a sword from bottom to top, stabbing the mutant crab demon's brain!

Just when the mutant crab demon saw a frosty white cold light flashing, just when he wanted to dodge, he found that he was wrestling with the fat man opposite and could not move at all.

This made the mutant crab demon have to take Richard's sword!

The thick defensive shell of the mutant crab demon was like a piece of thick paper to the sharp [Ice Guardian], and was directly stabbed to the bottom by Richard's extreme swordsmanship!

Before he could even scream, the mutant crab demon was killed on the spot by this sword!

With the death of the mutant crab demon, the bucktooth hyena group besieging the tower seemed to have a commotion, and the bucktooth hyena queen, when she saw the scene of Richard killing the mutant crab demon with one person and one abomination, became a little hesitant and mobilized a lot of bucktooth hyenas for defense.

Suddenly, the offensive of the bucktooth hyena groups in the four towers began to slow down, and at this time, the guards in the towers also reacted that there must be some changes in the castle that were not conducive to the monsters, otherwise the bucktooth hyena group that was originally extremely fierce would not be in this state.

This scene instantly brightened the old baron's eyes. He seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack, forcing the group of bucktoothed hyenas besieging the western tower out of the tower.

When the old baron kept swinging the knight's long sword in his hand, and with the support of the guards beside him, he walked out of the tower to check the situation, he saw the black-robed man wielding the long sword at first sight.

The black-robed man had such profound swordsmanship that the bucktoothed hyenas beside him were no match for him!

Hey! This swordsmanship is so familiar, it seems like the family's Cornell swordsmanship.

No, this is Cornell swordsmanship!

The old baron has also practiced Cornell swordsmanship for decades, and he is very sure that the black-robed man in front of him is performing Cornell swordsmanship.

Just as the old baron was thinking hard about who among the people he knew could have such profound Cornell swordsmanship, he saw the black-robed man's profile, and instantly, he couldn't believe his eyes!

That's right, this familiar figure, how can it be so much like the dead second son Richard.

After rubbing his eyes again, the old baron could not help crying when he saw the face under the hood of the other party clearly. He shouted: "Richard!!!"

Immediately, Richard, who was still killing monsters, looked up at the entrance of the west tower and saw the tall familiar figure!

"Father!" Richard shouted in surprise.

But as the body of the mutant crab monster fell to the ground, the movement of Richard finally attracted the attention of many flying monsters in the sky, especially those human-faced monster birds, who stared at Richard and made extremely sharp and strange calls.

Suddenly, as if boiling water was poured into a frying pan, hundreds of blood vultures in the sky began to scream noisily and circled quickly above Richard.

The circling of hundreds of blood vultures caused a huge change in airflow, blowing Richard's black robe rustling, and the huge group of blood vultures began to gradually change their formation under the command of the human-faced demon bird, adjusting to an arrow-shaped sharp arrow formation, as if they were going to dive from top to bottom and launch an extremely fierce attack.

"Richard, be careful!" The old baron saw this scene, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew that these blood vultures were extremely fierce, but he couldn't get away to help Richard.

While hesitating, a piercing strange cry came to his ears.

"Not good!"

The sharp-eyed Richard immediately pulled out an eagle tail arrow and shot it several meters above the old baron.

Suddenly, a human-faced demon bird was hit in the abdomen by the eagle tail arrow and fell from the old baron's eyes with a scream.

"Father, hide quickly, don't worry about me!" Richard shouted.

Seeing that the old baron began to follow his instructions and retreat while fighting, Richard felt relieved.

Richard's first thought was to temporarily avoid the attack of the blood vultures, first dodge the dive attack of the opponent's sharp arrow formation, and then look for opportunities to kill them one by one.

But just as he was about to move, Richard changed his mind. The speed of killing was too slow. Besides, he was not alone now, but he had to show his momentum. He might as well fight head-on to boost everyone's morale!

After figuring this out, Richard stopped moving immediately. While quickly reciting the spell of Shadow Grip, he took out dozens of Fire Dance Stars and Silver Moon Dust from his arms and made a bundle of "cluster bombs".

When hundreds of blood vultures in the sky had adjusted their formation and were about to launch a fierce and continuous dive attack under the leadership of an extremely huge blood vulture head bird.

Richard roared: "Go to hell!" In an instant, he controlled the dark element hand and smashed the bundle of "cluster bombs" hard above his head, on the blood vulture head bird that was about to launch a cluster charge.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, a loud noise sounded in the air!

A fireball with a diameter of tens of meters appeared out of thin air, and the heat wave shock wave visible to the naked eye instantly spread out hundreds of meters away. All the flying monsters hit by the shock wave fell down like dumplings.

The many guards in the four towers were also shocked by the loud noise!

They stared at this scene blankly, and were extremely horrified in their hearts. You know, it was these flying monsters that forced them to retreat from the inner castle wall to the tower for defense, and dozens of brothers died in the hands of the cunning human-faced monster bird.

Unexpectedly, the second son of the baron, Master Richard of his own family, almost wiped out these fierce flying monsters in just one move.

Many of the guards were soldiers trained by the Clavier family since childhood. They knew Richard a long time ago. Seeing that the originally slender and thin Master Richard had become a mysterious wizard and could easily defeat the army of monsters in front of him, they were all amazed.

The old baron, who had been worried, was relieved at this moment.

He did not expect that his second son, who had been reported dead for a long time, would not only come back to life, but also be so powerful. When the Clavier family was in dire straits, he was like a god descending to earth and directly turned the situation around.

In his opinion, the strength of his second son Richard seemed to be far greater than that of Duan, the second-level wizard apprentice of the Ignis School who came to the family to garrison.

This made him a little unbelievable, after all, he still had some impression of Richard's wizard qualifications, but the old baron shook his head and stopped thinking about this problem, because it was not important, what was important was that his second son Richard came back alive!

Long before the violent explosion in the air, Richard had already hidden behind the abomination, but his ears were also shaken so that he could not hear anything for a short time!

After all, the mixed "cluster bombs" of more than 20 tubes of Fire Dance Stars and Silver Moon Dust were absolutely powerful enough to match or even slightly surpass the attack power of a first-level wizard.

The few human-faced monster birds that were originally in charge of commanding in the air, although they were far enough away from the explosion point and did not suffer direct trauma, were also shaken by the shock wave and the deafening roar, and were about to fall from the air.

Not to mention the hundreds of blood vultures, especially the dozen blood vultures in the center of the explosion point, which had already been destroyed.

Almost all the blood vultures within a hundred meters from the center point turned into roasted turkeys. In an instant, it was like a turkey rain over the castle of Clavel, and they fell to the ground of the castle with a "boom, boom, boom".

A unique burnt smell of "roasted turkey" began to gradually spread throughout the entire Clavel Castle!

The bucktooth hyena group smelled this fragrance and was very excited. Suddenly, they scattered and began to devour the roasted vultures. Even the bucktooth hyena queen could not suppress this.

This gave the guards in the four towers a chance to breathe. Richard did not expect such an unexpected effect.

Richard instantly put away the [Ice Guardian] that was condensed with frost flowers, and quickly took out the [Griffin Wings], while aiming at the arrow.

This time, each arrow he pulled out was a eagle tail arrow, aimed at the human-faced monster bird that was still dizzy in the air, and suddenly, there was a burst of "swoosh, swoosh!".

Under the guidance of the secret technique guide arrow, it can be said that the arrows are shot without missing, and each eagle tail arrow will hit the vital point of a human-faced monster bird, and take away a human-faced monster bird with one arrow!

A few seconds later, Richard swept away all the remaining flying monsters over the castle.

At this time, Richard remembered that there was something he had not done, and immediately released the soul-eating demon spider in his arms. He saw that the crystal-colored soul-eating demon spider quickly began to crawl towards the mutant crab demon and began to devour the soul of the mutant crab demon.

Taking advantage of this gap, Richard glanced at his inspiration panel, and the energy point information that was like a screen came into view:

[Gained 78 energy points. ]

[Gained 74 energy points. 】

【Gained 79 energy points. 】

【Gained 8333 energy points. 】

【Gained 128 energy points. 】

【Gained 123 energy points. 】

【Gained 566 energy points. 】

【Gained 126 energy points. 】

【Gained 578 energy points. 】

Just now, Richard was too excited and ignored the energy points. The dozens of points belonged to the bucktoothed hyena, the more than a hundred points should be the blood vulture, the more than five hundred points should be the human-faced monster bird, and the highest was the more than eight thousand points of the mutant crab demon!

Originally, the inspiration panel needed Richard to confirm when absorbing energy points, but after wandering in the Gray Fern Wilderness for a while, Richard discovered that he could silently absorb energy points in his mind, and the inspiration panel would absorb the relevant energy by itself.

This really saved him a lot of time, especially when he encountered such a large number of monsters.

At this time, a thumb-thick ownerless mental power was transmitted from the Soul Devouring Spider to Richard's spiritual sea, accompanied by a trace of extremely pure soul energy, which immediately injected a hot spring into the originally slightly tired mind, and instantly became much more energetic.

After the Soul Devouring Spider swallowed it, it began to control the huge mutant crab demon and attacked the numerous bucktooth hyenas around it, which made the bucktooth hyena group even more terrified for a while!

What happened? The original leading monster actually killed them in turn!

At this time, the back door of the inner castle shattered!

A crab demon that was slightly smaller than the mutant crab demon just now rushed in with its big claws waving aggressively, but when the small eyes looked forward, it was stunned!

Seeing that the "big brother" who was one size bigger than it was slaughtering the bucktooth hyenas around it, it was a little confused. This was not what the master had told it to do.

Richard looked and saw, oh! There was another one, not bad, not bad, more than 8,000 energy points. He had searched for a long time in the Gray Fern Wilderness and had not encountered many mutant crab demons. Unexpectedly, today at home, he actually encountered two!

With the cooperation of the Abomination and the Soul Devouring Demon Spider, Richard used the same method to sneak attack and kill the mutant crab demon in an instant.

Suddenly, all the monsters seemed to be in a state of being leaderless, and the remaining bucktooth hyenas began to retreat in large numbers.

The crisis was resolved!

The guards in the four towers also began to launch a counterattack, rushing out of the towers to clear out the remaining monsters.

Richard also climbed up the inner castle wall as soon as possible and joined his father in the western tower.

The joy of seeing his family members was beyond words!

Looking at the old baron's gray hair, if it weren't for the familiar voice, Richard would have been a little afraid to recognize him for a while.

"Father! Your hair?" Richard said in a lost voice.

"It's good to be back! It's good to be back!"

Looking at his excited father, Richard understood instantly, and in an instant, he hugged his father tightly!

At this moment, all the family guards in the four towers, the garrison forces of Silver Pine Town, and the young and strong people left behind in the town, all cheered!

Cheers for surviving the disaster!

Cheers for revenge for the family!

Cheers for finally driving away the monster!

Richard, who had calmed down a little, let go of his father and asked, "Where are my mother and my elder brother?"

The old baron only reacted at this time and said immediately, "Not good! Richard, catch up with your mother and elder brother. They are going to Rossby City through the secret passage on the third floor of the cellar!"

Leaving Knight Rawlins to clean up the rear, the old baron quickly took Richard into the cellar like flying.

Along the way, the old baron was worried that the team escorting the children might have walked out of the castle secret passage and entered the main road to Rossby City. At that time, Levi and his team would inevitably be attacked by monsters.

When Richard heard this, he immediately began to speed up. In the dim secret passage, Richard, blessed by the shadow dance steps, was like a black arrow, shooting forward.

After a while, Richard saw that there seemed to be a bright exit in front of the secret passage.

Obviously, the elder brother and mother had already led the team out of the secret passage.

This made Richard a little worried.
