The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Arrows were shot galore, leaving behind a bunch of wailing dogs as they moved out of the range of the arrows.

The magic was activated, and several huge fireballs were thrown over, and the dog retreated even further.

There was a cheer from the humans, which was then met with the retaliatory Spear of Holy Light from the Kobold High Priest.

Every time the Spear of Holy Light exploded, it would blow down a section of the low wall or create a big hole in the house.

The magicians on the human side will quickly fill in the gaps and reinforce the damaged areas with wooden boards and sand.

Except for the slight panic in the first few rounds, after the battle evolved into a round-based attack and defense transition, everyone and every soldier began to respond numbly.

This is not a bad thing, at least the intensity of the kobolds' attacks is lower than expected.

It would be nice if the situation could remain at this level.

Li hoped so, but Li was not a person with extremely high luck, nor was he a believer favored by the goddess.

Just when Lee was expecting the situation not to get worse, it did.

"Excellent defense... Oh my God, the Kobolds are launching a general attack!"

After two hours of fighting, the kobolds lost their patience in playing turn-based games with humans, and all the kobold warriors rushed forward and launched multiple attacks on the defense circle in the center of the town.

The human shortage dilemma began to show.

The timely response of arrows and magic could only block the attack in a single direction. Those swiftly attacking ogres soon came to the low wall and began to threaten the safety of archers and magicians.

"Everyone return to the barracks and the big house and use the terrain to stop the enemy!"

Li issued the last order in the name of Theresa, and everyone retreated to a narrow terrain and engaged in street fighting with the ogres.

By using portals and windows, human soldiers can avoid being attacked from multiple directions, while the gnolls' numerical advantage cannot be fully utilized due to the terrain.

The soldiers blocked the door and could easily kill the rushing ogres by simply raising their shields and stabbing their weapons.

However, while doing so may seem to relieve stress, it is actually extremely dangerous.

Because returning to the house to fight street battles is equivalent to giving up the buffer, the rhythm of the battle will no longer be interrupted, and everyone must fight to the death.

Once anyone loses his strength, he will be killed in the house by the kobolds, with no other way out.

At this point, the humans started fighting on their own, and command no longer had any meaning.

Li grabbed a soldier's sword and prepared to work with Xiaoli and Theresa to block the ogre rushing in from the door.

Just when Li was about to fight with the kobold, Theresa, who was still watching the situation in the town, screamed at the window.

"Teresa! What happened?"

"Ah! It's the Kobold Priest, I saw it coming!"

The kobold priest was carried in by his subordinates. While commanding his people to fight, the high priest did not give up his own enjoyment.

Teresa only took a glance at the altar being carried away and determined that it was the enemy commander.

"Don't think you're so great just because you can use Holy Light!"

Li Gang confirmed the situation outside and saw Theresa condensing holy light to form a holy light spear.

Theresa used the magic that the Kobold priests used to attack the town and threw it directly at the mobile altar.

The Spear of Holy Light violated the laws of physics and flew straight towards the Kobold Priest at an astonishing speed, but a curtain of light lit up and neutralized the Spear of Holy Light.

After a series of teeth-grinding sizzling sounds, the Spear of Holy Light and the Holy Shield disappeared together, as if nothing had ever appeared.

The kobold high priest looked at Theresa with contempt and did not retaliate. Instead, he led his men into a house, which made Theresa very angry.

She was actually despised by a dog!

"You bastard! If you have the guts, come over here and fight me. Don't run away, you old heretic who stole the Holy Light!"

Li couldn't bear to listen to Theresa's shouting any longer. It seemed as if she was not the one whose faith collapsed before.

"Teresa, hold the door, we don't have time to deal with that kobold!"

Lee was moving furniture to create obstacles when he saw Theresa turn to him with a puzzled look after she finished scolding him.

"But Li, the Kobold priest, brought people to your house."

The Li family's house is at the edge of the defense circle, which has been captured by the ogres.

Apart from the granary at the back of the big house, there should be nothing worthy of the Kobold's attention.

"The Kobold didn't go to the backyard to move the food, but ran into my house?"

When Li heard the unexpected news, he didn't bother to block the door anymore and immediately went to the window where Theresa was.

Through the window, Li could only see the kobold guards remaining at the door of the house. The high priest should have already entered the house.

The high priest of the kobolds did not command the battle from the rear, but instead came to the front line to explore the human dwellings. The other side's behavior was quite strange.

"What is it doing in my house? Is there something there that attracts it..."

Li had no information about the dog-headed people, and the memories and experiences from several lifetimes in his mind did not contain any content about dog-headed people.

Li could only speculate based on the existing clues that the dog-headed men came to attack the town perhaps to create an opportunity to enter the Li family.

"Could it be that the Kobolds have also set their sights on sour fruit wine and vinegar?"

The voice that came out of Theresa's mouth almost interrupted Li's train of thought. Xiaoli, who was busy blocking the door alone, cast a resentful look at Theresa.

"Oh no! It's a magic book!"

Lee recalled all the items in the room, from the pots and pans to the tables, chairs and fireplace.

When the image of the magic book flashed in Li's mind, Li suddenly realized.

"What magic book?"

"It's my family's heirloom, the Book of the Dead!"

While answering Theresa, Li kicked off the ground with his feet and jumped directly out of the window.

Xiaoli was horrified and rushed to the window and jumped down.

Theresa only saw the master and servant chop down the dog that blocked their way and ran home quickly.

Theresa wanted to jump down as well, but she found that the door had been broken open by the kobolds, so she had to turn around to defend herself.

"Really? It's too much to leave me here alone!"

Theresa complained angrily, wielding a hammer in one hand and flashing holy light with the other, and rushed into the group of kobolds that broke into the house.

For a moment, blood splattered everywhere and it was extremely brutal.

...

The ogre priest who broke into the Li family didn't care about the battle situation outside.

From the moment it stepped into the house, the high priest felt a call from the depths of his spirit.

All the vague oracles that existed in his mind in the past became extremely clear at this moment.

The kobold priests can feel the knowledge and power contained in the oracles, which are like hot springs, cleansing the kobolds' spirits and souls.

"Great God, I am finally one step closer to you!"
