Lord of Hyranza

The kitchen is in a mess, the door behind the kitchen is open, the long table in the kitchen is full of some tomatoes and onions, carrots in a basket, the fireplace is full of ashes from burnt firewood, and a mouthful is hanging from the fireplace. The iron pot, the things boiled in the iron pot have been scorched beyond recognition, even the surroundings of the fireplace are blackened by black smoke, several chairs have been knocked over on the floor, and the hooks hanging from the corners of dried meat and ham are still hanging. there.

There was still a bitten pig's foot on an iron hook. It seemed to be a big ham. From the traces, it should have been gnawed clean by hell dogs. There was also some dried purple blood.

He carefully looked at the layout of the kitchen, as if he was recalling something, he paused for about a minute before he started to act.

The boy looked at the corner with some disappointment. There should have been two hams and some dried horse meat hanging there.He found a block of cottage cheese from one cupboard, a whole stack of baked wheatbread from the cupboard below, unrotten onions and carrots from a basket, and deftly stuffed them into a backpack, his backpack I don't know how many things are in it, it looks bulging.

A large, round pumpkin can be seen in Suldak's blurry vision.

The boy said with a look of disappointment: "These damn vicious dogs have eaten all the ham here, and they can even eat our food."

Standing behind the boy, Andrew said in a low tone, "They eat everything. They probably didn't find these cheeses and toasted oatmeal, otherwise they wouldn't give you anything left."

"I hoped to find some meat back! This is Old Brown's home. He told me that when he had enough at home, he could find some ham. That's why I ventured here." Looking at the vegetables in the backpack, I wanted to cry No tears, these things are not enough.

He tried to open all the doors of the closet, but there were only some kitchen utensils in it, some china, clay pots and the like.

Andrew looked at the boy, thought for a while and asked, "Do you want to eat meat? It's easy! Is there enough water in the basement where you are hiding?"

The boy nodded vigorously, and then said to Andrew: "Well, there is an underground waterway connected there. Unless that waterway dries up, we won't be short of water."

Andrew nodded, patted his chest with his rough hands, and assured the boy: "That's easy! Look at me!"

He rudely pushed all the things on the wooden table to the ground, and found a thick tablecloth to spread on it. He quickly walked out of the kitchen, dragged the corpses of the three hellhounds in the living room into the kitchen, and took He took out a small skinning knife and quickly peeled off the skin of the Cerberus, and threw it bloody on the square table, cut open the chest cavity, stripped off the foul-smelling internal organs, chopped off four paws and tail, and scooped it up from the water tank next to it. Some cold water was poured on it, repeatedly washing the dirty blood in the hellhound's cavity.

While Andrew was doing these things, the investigation team searched the room carefully. Viscount Emmet worried that the movement here would attract hell dogs patrolling the street, so he sent people to carefully guard the front and rear doors, but In the stealth state, communication can only be done with some simple gestures, and you can only see each other at close range, so it is very difficult to communicate.

Soon, Andrew began to cut the fresh meat of the hell dog, and then found the salt shaker in the kitchen, and sprinkled salt on the fresh meat of the hell dog to marinate.

While quickly cutting the fresh meat, he told the boy: "The meat itself has certain toxins, so it must be soaked in water to remove the poisonous blood, and it can only be eaten after being cooked. When we were guarding the city wall, the logistical supplies used to be Once interrupted, the flesh of these hellhounds will be used to satisfy hunger, and the weak will be fasted."

He picked the meat of the three hellhounds very clean, washed them and salted them, carried them on the tablecloth and carried them behind his back, and kept telling him: "The boiled meat can only be eaten and not eaten." Drink the soup, or you will have a stomachache."

The boy nodded vigorously like pounding garlic, indicating that he remembered it.

Andrew followed the boy carefully out of the room, lowered his voice and asked: "We can go to other places to find some food, you are familiar with the town, you should know where there is food, maybe we can go to a nearby bakery to look for it. "

The boy cautiously poked his head out of the crack of the door, and found that the alley was quiet, so he quickly got out of the crack of the door and said to Andrew: "Well, I know where the bakery is, but there is a guard guarding it." Big dog, I can't lure it away."

"We can try it later, but what you need to do now is to transport these things back..." Andrew pointed to the heavy packages on the two of them.

Carrying a heavy package, the boy climbed up the courtyard wall with hands and feet, then squatted on the wall and beckoned Andrew to come up quickly.

Andrew turned over and climbed up to the top of the wall. The whole wall shook slightly. The boy squatted on the top of the wall, his face turned pale, and he stuck out his tongue regretfully and said, "It seems that we'd better go underneath, it's safer..."

Three hell dogs passed by the entrance of the alley, and Andrew hurriedly dragged the boy to lie on top of the wall until the hell dogs were far away before they jumped off the wall.

The boy led the way. He was very familiar with this town, and the roads he walked were almost all narrow alleys.

He didn't know that beside Andrew, there were six other knights hiding in the shadows and watching him silently.The Maca dialect and Nanai indigenous language spoken by the boy, probably only Andrew can communicate smoothly. There will be a few hell dogs passing by on the main street from time to time. This town is bigger than imagined. It is much larger, and the alleys in the houses are very complicated. Only children like boys who have lived in small towns since childhood know how to get out of the cobweb-like alleys.

As soon as the boy stepped out of a dark alley, he saw two hellhounds burying their heads in digging a garbage dump. They raised their heads immediately, and two pairs of eyes with purple stripes looked at the boy for two seconds. In the process, the hellhound didn't even make any sound, its huge body turned around nimbly, its hind legs kicked hard on the ground, and it rushed towards the boy.

The boy quickly turned around and ran, the vicious dog ran behind the boy like lightning, with its claws resting on the boy's shoulders, biting the boy's cervical vertebrae.

A large ax emerged from the shadows by the boy's side, with a violent gust of wind.

The hellhound tilted its head and was about to bite the boy's neck. When it saw the giant ax emerging from the shadows, its huge body jumped up immediately. Trying to avoid the ax, it bit back at the one holding the ax handle. big hands...

Andrew pressed the handle of the ax hard, and the handle sank suddenly. The blade of the ax slashed on the back of the hell dog, and there was a crisp bone cracking sound. Wound.

The hellhound following behind was so frightened that it stopped chasing. With its tail between its legs, it curled up its body and let out a warning howl towards the empty night sky. In the shadow on the side, a blood-colored curved blade appeared out of thin air, and easily cut off its head.

Suldak held the bloody head of the vicious dog in one hand and the blood red crescent in the other. Then he kicked away the corpse of the hell dog, walked to Andrew, and took the hell dog in Andrew's hand. The head also took over.

The boy stared at Surdak dumbfounded, then at Andrew, and closed his mouth wisely.

"This is my captain..." Andrew felt it was necessary to introduce Suldak's identity to the boy.

The boy nodded without asking any further questions, and walked ahead consciously. The vent in the basement was set up very secretly. It was on the north wall of a small courtyard. There was an iron window in the vent. The boy Skillfully removed the bars, the vent was only one foot square, and the boy could just climb in.

He divided the food in the package into several parts, and moved things into the aisle little by little like a hamster, first wheat cake and cheese, then onions, carrots and pumpkins, and finally some vicious dog meat that Andrew pickled.

When the boy climbed up, it had been a while, and Andrew was even a little impatient. Just when he thought that the boy might not climb out, the boy struggled to climb out. The hole was very small. He was worn out by vents in several places, and there were red slap marks on his face.

The boy climbed out and looked at Suldak, and reconfirmed: "The reinforcements from Wojmara will be here soon, aren't they?"

"Of course, the Benar heavy cavalry is fighting bloody battles with the hellhounds outside the city of Wojmara, and there are now two full-staffed Constructed Swordsman regiments in the city of Wojmara, we are looking for a suitable place to attack. said Suldak to the boy.

A glimmer of hope appeared on the boy's face, and even his eyes became much brighter.

It’s just that there is another sentence in the back. Suldak didn’t tell the boy: There are three such attack locations in total. Only when the Devil’s Gate or Hell Passage is found, the Bena Allied Forces will attack immediately.

"What happened to your face?" Andrew asked, leaning up to the boy.

He reached out to touch it, but the boy turned his head away.

The boy's eyes dimmed slightly, and he explained in a low voice: "They don't want me to go out to take risks, and we had a little argument because of this. I know they are concerned about me. They are worried that the reinforcements will not arrive in time. Once something happens to me, many people will Starved to death in the basement, the exit of the basement was completely blocked from the outside, without the help of outsiders, they couldn't get out at all!"

Suldak patted the boy's thin shoulder and said, "It's really dangerous. In fact, you just need to point us in the specific direction. Of course, it's best to tell us how to get there!"

Hearing what Suldak said, the boy shook his head without hesitation, raised his face and said stubbornly: "Since the Bena Swordsmen have come, they will definitely avenge those who died in the town... Do something for the loved ones who have returned to the embrace of God Paglio! And... a man will do what he says!"

"Hehe!" Suldak couldn't help but smile after hearing this. He was full of affection for the native boy. Suldak asked seriously, "Little man, what's your name?"

"Buta!" replied the boy.

"My name is Suldak!"

Suldak held out his fist to the boy, the boy also held out his fist, and the two fists met.

……

The residential area of ​​Meijin Township is very densely built, with stone houses close together, and the yard is small.

Suldak and Andrew sneaked along with Little Buta. The three of them almost perfectly avoided the hellhounds patrolling the street, and took advantage of the night to pass through most of the small town of Meijin.

The town is very clean, and there are no corpses to be seen along the way. If it weren't for some dried blood on the street, people might mistakenly think that the residents here just disappeared out of thin air. Surdak looked at the dead bodies on the side of the street. He dropped a boot, and he couldn't help expressing his doubts: "What about the rest of the town? Have they all been eaten by hell dogs?"

The boy Buta shook his head vigorously, and said in a low voice, "I don't know. The first time I got out of the basement, I saw a lot of hell dogs on the street. At that time, all the hell dogs in this town were killing those hell dogs. The dead are dragged to the town temple!"

"You mean they gather human corpses all the time?" Surdak wanted to know what those hellhounds were trying to do, so he asked the boy, "Where is the temple?"

"It's right there..." The boy leaned against the wall and pointed to the tall Gothic-style building hidden in the night not far away.

In the twilight, through the darkness of the night, Suldak saw at a glance hundreds of hell dogs entrenched in the dark at the temple gate. Among these hell dogs, there were many strong and huge hell dogs. Shuttle among them.

The stone slabs of the entire street were stained with a thick layer of bloodstains. These bloodstains were new and old, like dragging tracks. These tracks came from all directions, and all the bloodstains eventually belonged to this temple.

There was an intermittent cry of night owls coming from the temple. This sound seemed to have a magical power, which made people upset.

The boy wanted to go inside, but was held back by Suldak. Suldak said to the boy, "We can find a hidden place to hide here..."

The boy looked at Suldak suspiciously. Suldak shrugged his shoulders. There were many hellhounds patrolling the nearby area. The boy jumped over the wall into a yard and opened the closed gate from the inside. People hid in this yard.

Just after the three of them hid, the howling of hell dogs came one after another from a distance.

"Ouch..."

The hell dogs guarding the entrance of the temple seemed a little irritable. Some hell dogs chased after the sound, but there were still many hell dogs guarding the entrance of the temple.

Suldak leaned on the roof and watched quietly from the temple. After staring for a while, Suldak found that there were no hell dogs coming out of the temple continuously, which could rule out that there was a demon gate or hell. The suspicion of the passage, otherwise the hellhound coming out of here would definitely not be just this little.

"Andrew, what do you think is hidden in that temple?" Suldak asked Andrew beside him, lying on the ridge of the roof.

"Maybe there will be an answer later..." Andrew replied.

Chapter 444 The Secret Hidden in the Temple

Viscount Emmet brought several knights from the Hailansa Knights' reconnaissance team to the street where the temple in Meijin town is located.

Seeing a large number of hell dogs wandering around the temple, Viscount Emmett can tell without taking out the map. This is the key investigation area of ​​Meijin town marked by the magician investigation team on the map. Only the knight investigation team entered at night The small town of Meijin couldn't rely on the town's landmark buildings to confirm its location.

Now seeing the Statue of Liberty standing on the spire of the temple roof in the night sky, Viscount Emmet unfolded the map of Meijin Town again, looked at the big red cross marked on the map, and wanted to tell his companions that this time The investigation destination is here.

Suldak and Andrew canceled the invisibility effect due to an unexpected incident. Instead of approaching the temple rashly, they chose to lurk in a residential house next to the temple.

Viscount Emmet waved to the knights in the team. Relying on the invisibility effect, they continued to walk along the long street and approached the temple a little bit.

After the knights approached the temple, they discovered that there were hundreds of hell dogs guarding the iron railings. Unless these hell dogs were killed, it would be difficult to pass by these hell dogs even if they were invisible. If you get too close, you will definitely be spotted by those hell dogs.

Just when Viscount Emmet was worrying about how to pass through this area, he did not expect the howling of hell dogs to sound one after another from the east of the town, and the hell dogs near the temple responded quickly. A giant hell dog led a large group of hell dogs and rushed towards the incident.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the half-elf archer led the knight reconnaissance team to the back street of the temple, and found a tall sycamore tree behind the high courtyard wall. Half of the crown of this sycamore tree extended into the temple. In the yard, there were not many hellhounds here. The elf archer quickly climbed up the big tree. Viscount Emmett saw her walk a few steps along the horizontal branches of the plane tree, cross the courtyard wall, and jump Into the backyard of the temple.

It didn’t take long for the Knights’ investigation team to climb over the courtyard wall and enter the backyard of the temple. The layout here is very similar to that of other temples. The backyard is an inner courtyard, and the arched stone pillars are built to form an outer corridor. The central area is It is covered with dense vegetation. The landscape plants in these gardens can no longer see their original shape because they have not been pruned by the gardener for a long time. The trees in the garden grow very lushly.

The invisible knight team stepped on the weeds in the courtyard, and the knee-high weeds had a strange bend, as if invisible feet stepped on it, leaving a line of clear footprints.

The half-elf archer seemed to stop in front of him, squatted down, and took out a stone from his arms and threw it towards the stone steps on the other side.

The stone fell on the slate floor with a crisp 'click', and a giant hellhound came out of the bushes ten steps in front of her and searched for the place where the sound came from.

Samira took the opportunity to get into the bush, and Viscount Emmet followed closely behind with the knights. It turned out that the bush was actually an arch made of bushes, but because the bushes grew so densely, it looked like an arch. Like a dense bush.

Walking a short distance of tens of meters along the stone corridor in the back courtyard, the half-elf archer avoided five waves of hell dogs patrolling with his keen intuition. Unexpectedly, the guards of hell dogs in the temple were even stricter. La gestured to Viscount Emmett, and the scouting team could not go any further.

Viscount Emmet pointed to the Roman pillars that were more than ten meters high near the main building wall of the temple. Samira understood and led the team to approach the dark corner of the outer wall of the temple. Looking at the pattern on the stone pillar, he climbed up the Roman pillar in the corner with his bare hands, and with some reliefs and protrusions on the surrounding walls, he actually climbed to the roof.

A rope slowly hung down along the edge of the wall, Viscount Emmet and the other three knights climbed up to the roof of the temple by this rope.

The slope of the temple roof is extremely steep. Many blue tiles were damaged and were not repaired, revealing several large holes. The outstretched arms of the statue of Liberty on the highest part of the roof were covered with bird feces. Viscount Emmett saw the half-elf archer crouching in one place Next to the hole in the roof, she was peeping into the temple, so she led the three knights carefully to her side, squatted on the roof of the church and looked into the temple. Since it was night, the prayer hall of the temple It was pitch black.

Looking down from above, I can see flickering lava stripes in the hall one after another. Those stripes are the natural lava patterns on the hellhounds. It seems that there are a lot of hellhounds in the hall, and These hellhounds are huge in size, at least they look like giant hellhounds.

Intermittent crying came from this hall.

The knights were lying on the roof, and the extremely irritable crying became clearer, mixed with the creaking sound of chewing food, Emmet wanted to see what was in the temple hall.

What is certain is that there should be no hell passages and demon gates in this temple, otherwise hell dogs should come out of the temple hall continuously.

Viscount Emmet hesitated for a moment, and took out a yellow magic flare from his arms. This kind of flare can burst into dazzling light like fireworks after being lifted into the air. Even in the daytime, the light of this flare can travel far. He pulled the fuse on the tail of the flare and threw it into the hole in the roof.

'hiss……'

The fuze of the signal flare glowed faintly, and fell into the hall with a bang. It hit something, and the sound was dull.

At this time, all the voices in the temple hall stopped, and several knights on the roof cautiously peeped into the hall, only to see a crimson immature hand reflected in the faint light of the fire, with two growths growing out of a head. A small head with black pointed horns and two fangs protruding from the corner of its mouth looked curiously at the magic flare. Its purple pupils were like amethyst embedded in its eye sockets.

In the next second, a stream of flames spewed out from the tail of the signal flare, and the entire signal flare hit the wall with a 'swoosh' in the hall, made a sound of impact, and hit the ground in the hall again with a trail of light.

The tail flame of the signal flare woke up all the hell dogs in the hall. There were dozens of giant hell dogs in the hall. They raised their heads and stared at the signal flare flying around in the hall room.

Viscount Emmet's eyes widened, and he saw that the pool of holy water in the prayer hall of the temple was filled with bright red blood. Some human hands and corpses were lying in the pool of blood, and several giant hell dogs were lying in the pool of blood. Next to him, he was eating the corpses in the blood pool, and on the high platform of the choir in the temple prayer hall, there were piles of corpses piled up like hills, and most of these corpses were residents of the small town.

Unexpectedly, the hell dogs dragged the corpses of all the town residents to the temple in order to provide sufficient nourishment for these giant hell dogs.

Then, the magic flare exploded in the hall of the temple. After the explosion, a dazzling light lit up in the hall of the temple. Everything in the hall appeared in front of Viscount Emmett. Amy The Viscount found that there were some skin-colored hell dogs lying next to the bellies of the lying hell dogs in the hall, and there were some black hell dog cubs lying beside almost every hell dog.

Of course, if it was just like this, Viscount Emmett would not have widened his eyes. What made him feel a little unbelievable was that there was actually a little devil with devil horns on his head next to those dark-bodied hellhound cubs, little devil With a hunchbacked young body and a bare tail dragging behind, they looked a bit like kobolds in a wilderness mine. They had the torso and head of a demon, but their limbs were still the claws of a hellhound.

Almost every hellhound has such a litter of cubs, and among these cubs is destined to be an imp of similar size.

Several hell dogs roared in the prayer hall of the temple. These hell dogs did not know where the signal flares came from. Several huge hell dogs jumped onto the highest pile of corpses in the hall, and several hell dogs The vicious dogs rushed into the courtyard outside the temple hall like a whirlwind. Hundreds of hell dogs gathered around the temple from the gate. They were like a group of headless flies, searching around the temple aimlessly.

The flares went out quickly, and the hall became dark.

A night owl-like cry came from the hall again, and Viscount Emmet finally figured out where these cries came from.

The Knights' investigation team quickly hid in a dark corner of the roof, and Samira carefully lifted the dangling rope up into the air, covering up the last clue.

The investigative team hid on the roof for a while. Viscount Emmett saw a group of hellhounds leaving the temple and guarding the outside again. Everything in the prayer hall was back to normal, so he wanted to leave quickly and bring the news here. go back.

He gestured to the knights on the roof to go down, and was about to slide down the rope, but was stopped by Samira.

The half-elf archer gestured to Viscount Emmett to wait a little longer. Just when Viscount Emmett was hesitating, a constructed knight beside him ignored Samira's gesture and went straight past Samira, grabbing onto the roof of the building. The rope slid slowly down.

It's just that when he slid halfway, he found that there were a few more hell dogs in the courtyard behind the temple. One of the hell dogs seemed to smell something, and walked to the back corner without any mistakes, and found The ropes hanging from the roof, their eyes looked up along the ropes, but found that there was nothing on the empty ropes.

The hell dog let out a warning roar, and the hell dog in the front yard rushed over quickly. A giant hell dog saw the rope, bared its huge fangs and roared continuously towards the roof, followed by the giant hell dog With the roar of dogs, the hellhounds surrounding the temple quickly ran up to the roof along the stone walls built of bluestone strips without hesitation, and they climbed the stone walls as if they were walking on the ground.

Although it was caused by the construction knight's carelessness, the matter has come to an end, now is not the time to complain, Samira hastily climbed up the square base of the Statue of Liberty along the roof of the temple before all the hellhounds rushed up On the base, there are marble reliefs inlaid around the base. The content on the reliefs is the famous scene of the battle of the gods. Countless archangels are holding spears in their hands, and they are besieging a great demon in a valley.

A group of five knights from the scouting team climbed onto the pedestal. The upper edge of the pedestal was not too wide, and the knights could just sit on the stone platform at the edge.

As for those hellhounds that have already climbed to the roof, they are sniffing around on the roof with their keen sense of smell, but Viscount Emmett has sprinkled man-eating pollen along the way. After the hellhound smelled the pollen, they sneezed again and again. The trusted nose has thus lost its role.

Under the cover of night, the Knights' investigation team hidden in the shadows sat quietly at the feet of the Statue of Liberty, silently watching those hell dogs return without success.

A giant vicious dog climbed to the roof of the temple, stood on the highest ridge, and roared deafeningly at the night sky.

All the hellhounds in the city howled together, and for a while the whole town was enveloped in roars.

……

Suldak and Andrew were lying on the roof of a residential house, monitoring every move of the hellhounds around the temple. When they saw a burst of bright flames erupting in the temple building, a large number of hellhounds suddenly poured in The temple had a premonition that the situation was not good.
