Chapter 18 Inner Court



At that moment, the longbowman was frantically defending against the ghoul's sudden attack. Liu Nian noticed that where it had been hit by the fangs, there was a small hole, but no blood was flowing out.

The longbowmen seemed to have no other weapons, and kept using their longbows to hinder the ghouls from getting closer, resulting in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Liu Nian quietly circled around to the longbowman's blind spot, took a deep breath, and thrust out his spear, which he had been holding back for a long time.

The longbowman never expected someone to be so uncivilized, and in his carelessness, he was stabbed in the calf.

To Liu Nian's surprise, the attack power of 3-5 did not break through the light armor's defense; the spear only left a deep puncture mark on the light armor.

The longbowman seemed unmoved, remaining on guard against the ghouls' attack.

Liu Nian felt a little embarrassed by being ignored. Although the bone ring was useful, there was a boss to watch out for later, so he couldn't use it all at once.

As for using the card 【定】, are you sure you're not joking?

It was quite difficult to hit the longbowman's bare arm; the target kept moving, and Liu Nian had to give up after aiming for a long time.

The ghouls can break through the defenses, but they always manage to dodge them.

The skeletons and spearmen are locked in a fierce battle, which seems to have reached a stalemate. We need to think of a solution.

I can't think of a good solution right now, so let's just wait it out! Anyway, the enemy spearmen can't gain the upper hand against the shielded skeletons, so it's not a big problem.

As time passed, the longbowman's light armor became pitted and uneven. When the spear was swung at the longbowman again, the feeling of it penetrating flesh was felt, and the spear successfully pierced his back.

The longbowman seemed to feel no pain, his movements remaining agile. However, this changed nothing; defeat was inevitable.

Successfully breaking through the light armor boosted Liu Nian's morale. His sore arms seemed to be injected with new vitality as he vigorously stabbed into the tattered light armor.

The longbowman's body was far more vulnerable than that of someone in light armor, and the spear pierced through his chest.

[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully defeating Corrupted Rogue and gaining 30 experience points.]

The long-awaited system notification came: one has finally been defeated.

Before Liu Nian could finish her exclamation, a burst of white light surged from Rogge's body, which quickly formed into a beautiful woman.

It looked like what Rogge looked like when he was alive. The woman said to Liu Nian, "Thank you for releasing me, traveler." After she finished speaking, the white light dissipated.

After Liu Nian and the ghoul joined the battle, the other two corrupted rogues quickly followed suit.

Simply put, ninety experience points are earned.

When I used to play the game, I could kill the Corrupted Rogue in just a few hits, but now it takes so long.

The difference between games and reality is indeed quite significant.

After wiping out another group of Fallen in a corner, Liu Nian encountered trouble with a group of archers consisting of five corrupted Rogues.

Fortunately, Liu Nian reacted quickly and hid behind the skeleton. The ghoul was not so lucky and was killed in two consecutive volleys.

Looking at the ghoul with arrows stuck in its body and its corpse covered with a layer of frost, Liu Nian instinctively felt afraid.

“There’s an elite unit that can use Frost Arrows,” Liu Nian quickly analyzed.

Looking through the gaps in the shields, one could indeed see a corrupted Rogue dressed in better clothes.

Using the shield for cover, Liu Nian slowly advanced, deciding not to summon the ghouls yet to avoid becoming targets.

The elite corrupted Rogue seemed to have seen through Liu Nian's intentions, and used the Frostbolt skill on each of the skeletons, freezing them in place.

Liu Nian touched the pocket where the cards were, and after much deliberation, gave up the idea.

While Liu Nian was pondering a countermeasure, a frozen skeleton was shot in the eye socket by the Rogues. The soul fire in its eye dimmed, and it collapsed to the ground, turning into a puddle of icy water.

There are no corpses nearby, so you cannot summon skeletons.

The two shields could barely protect most of Liu Nian, leaving him with no choice but to summon the ghouls again to launch a suicidal attack.

Before it could run more than a few steps, the ghoul froze, struck by an ice arrow.

With a few unwilling howls, the newly summoned ghoul followed in its predecessor's footsteps.

"The corpse of a ghoul can also be considered a vessel, right?" With the principle of giving it a try, Liu Nian released the summoned skeleton again.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his chest, interrupting his spellcasting, but it wasn't broken. A dozen seconds later, a new skeleton was summoned, forming a new shield wall.

Liu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he have time to pay attention to himself. It turned out that an arrow had just passed through the skeleton's ribs and hit Liu Nian.

Fortunately, the arrow's fletching got stuck between the skeleton's ribs; otherwise, with Liu Nian's negligible armor, he would probably be dead.

Unbeknownst to him, he had just brushed past death, and Liu Nian broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking at his dwindling mana, Liu Nian began to worry.

Whether by the grace of fate or not, the dense rain of arrows ceased.

Liu Nian looked closely and saw that the Rogues were rummaging through their quivers, indicating that the corrupted Rogues had run out of arrows.

This is a good opportunity. Liu Nian quickly summoned the ghouls.

Command the ghouls to entangle the ordinary corrupted rogues, who have no arrows, while Liu Nian leads the skeleton legion to besiege the elite rogues.

Elite Rogues are clearly more agile, unlike ordinary corrupted Rogues who stand still. These elites, masters of guerrilla warfare, advance when the enemy advances and retreats when the enemy retreats.

While moving around, he fired cold arrows, and under the barrage of frost arrows, the skeletons gradually became separated.

Seeing that they would fall further and further behind, Liu Nian changed tactics, as the skeletons' movement speed was simply no match for the elite Rogge.

Command the slowed-down skeletons to defend on the spot, while the other two skeletons cover Liu Nian's retreat back to the ghoul's side.

Once they were some distance away from Elite Rogue, Liu Nian commanded the slowed-down skeleton to hold off Elite Rogue.

Liu Nian and the other skeletons joined the ghouls to hunt down ordinary corrupted rogues.

Without arrows, the pain from the bow's strikes was bearable for Liu Nian.

This time, without splitting up the attack, and with four against one, the ordinary corrupted Rogues were quickly defeated one by one.

[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully defeating Corrupted Rogue and gaining 30 experience points.]

...

Only the elite Rogue was left. The yard wasn't very big, and Liu Nian's team quickly cornered the elite Rogue in a corner of the yard.

Having lost their advantage in distance and leg length, the elite corrupted Rogues, whose armor had been breached, quickly followed their sisters in death.

[Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully defeating the elite Corrupted Rogue, gaining 50 experience points]

Liu Nian, panting heavily, had never found the system's prompts so pleasant.

They had a lot of experience, and even more surprisingly, an elite unit dropped a card.

[Item Card: Voodoo Doll]
