The voice sounded familiar, as if it was the voice of the castle's doctor. Richard stood up suddenly and looked down through the window on the second floor of the inner castle.
Seven or eight fully armed guards holding torches hurried to the doctor's residence. More torches were lit in the castle, and under the light of the torches, it seemed that his father and brother were also alarmed and walked out of the inner castle fully armed.
With a loud "bang", the wooden door of the doctor's residence on the first floor was instantly shattered by several green vines as thick as bowls. The vines paused for a moment, then shot directly at the guards who surrounded them. Two guards were unable to dodge and were hit in the chest and abdomen by the vines. They were instantly knocked several meters away and hit heavily against the wall beside them.
Fortunately, the guards were all wearing chain mail, otherwise the blow just now would most likely have pierced their abdomens, killing them on the spot.
The guards around looked at each other in bewilderment. Because the situation was unclear, no one dared to rush into the house. People are afraid of unknown creatures. In fact, the guards did not flee in all directions, which was considered well-trained.
"Thump, thump, thump," the sound of guards' footsteps kept coming from all around.
"Raise your shields and throw torches!" The Baron's voice came from high behind. The guards immediately found their backbone, calmed down, and began to attack according to the Baron's command.
In a blink of an eye, seven or eight torches were thrown into the doctor's room. Soon, thick smoke billowed in the room, and several humanoid creatures over two meters tall staggered out from the smoke.
Since he was upstairs with a better view, Richard could vaguely make out that there were a total of four monsters coming out.
What was even more surprising was that the lower body of the humanoid creature that came out was wearing the same kingdom-style leggings and greaves as the guards, while the upper body had turned into a monster made up of dozens of green vines and tree trunks, even the head was green.
Immediately, several exclamations were heard from the many guards surrounding the monster. It seemed that they had recognized that the monster in front of them seemed to be their former captain of the guards, the seriously injured Baras, and three other injured comrades.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the baron had a blank expression on his face and shouted, "Archers, shoot, keep throwing torches!"
As if burned by the torches, or angered by the attack of bows and arrows, the vine monsters roared, and dozens of vines shot out from their bodies, attacking the guards surrounding them.
Vines were constantly cut off by the guards' swords, but more vines entangled the guards, throwing them high into the air and then throwing them heavily to the ground.
The guard who fell to the ground struggled to get up, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
For a moment, the battle was bloody and fierce!
At this time, the baron, who saw the situation was about to collapse, drew out the sharp knight's sword from his waist and began to join the battle. When his brother Levi saw his father's fate, he immediately rushed up with his sword in hand.
As an official knight, the Baron had superb swordsmanship and was agile in movement. Although his left hand had been injured before, after treatment, it seemed that it did not affect the battle at all. Under the vigorous swings of the knight's sword, he quickly rushed to a monster.
His elder brother Levi held a sword and shield, helping the Baron to defend against the vine attack from one side, greatly reducing the pressure on the Baron who was in the center of the battlefield.
Seeing the Baron and the eldest master personally taking to the field, the morale of the guards soared for a moment. More and more vines were cut off, but the vines seemed to be able to regenerate and still flew all over the sky, making the battle situation tense.
Richard, who was on the second floor, felt anxious. The situation seemed to be favorable to his father's side, but human physical strength was limited after all, and the monsters' methods were strange. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be.
"Vines, trees, burns!" The wounds on the monster's corpse at the city gate flashed a light in Richard's mind. He quickly opened the door and ran upstairs.
He remembered clearly that there was a large crossbow and several barrels of kerosene on the top of the inner castle, which were placed there specifically to defend against the invasion of large birds of prey.
Sure enough, when Richard ran to the roof, he saw a giant double-fire crossbow that was more than one person wide. Two huge crossbow arrows with cold light had been placed on the crossbow in advance.
It seems that a guard had tried to aim with a crossbow just now, but because it was dark and the distance was too far, it was difficult to hit the target, so he gave up using the crossbow and went downstairs to reunite with the guards and fight the monster in close combat.
This made it convenient for Richard, and all he had to do now was to turn and light the arrow, then pull the trigger to shoot the monster.
The most difficult thing, of course, is to hit these two words!
"Crackling", with the sound of gears turning, Richard, alone, barely aimed the crossbow that required two people to operate at the same time at the monster in the field, and quickly used a flint to ignite the crossbow arrow coated with kerosene.
Just as Richard was aiming at the center of the field and preparing to select a monster to shoot, he observed through the crosshairs and saw that a monster had sneaked to the other side of the Baron and was preparing to attack.
"not good!"
Richard immediately aimed at the monster and shot an arrow at it without hesitation.
With a whoosh sound, a flaming arrow more than one meter long shot towards the monster at a high speed.
Unfortunately, Richard was not very proficient in using the bow and crossbow, so he missed the target!
No wonder the guards gave up using crossbows and chose close combat instead. In the dark night and at such a long distance, it was indeed difficult to try to hit the body of a monster that was not much different in size from an ordinary person.
However, although Richard's shot did not hit the monster this time, but just barely brushed past it, he accidentally interrupted the monster's sneak attack and also alerted the Baron that there was a monster nearby that wanted to attack him.
[Discover that the host is using a crossbow. Yes/No, consume energy to gain inspiration for using the crossbow? ]
A line of text and a draggable slider suddenly appeared in front of Richard, which made Richard overjoyed. He looked carefully and saw that the two ends of the slider were 1 and 131 respectively. Obviously, this meant how much energy was consumed.
Now the battle was fierce, Richard dragged the slider to the far right, which was the value of 131, without hesitation, and selected: Yes.
In an instant, Richard arrived in a dream space as if his soul had left his body, and possessed a figure who was skillfully operating a crossbow to shoot. The shape of the crossbow was exactly the same as the one on the roof of his own inner castle. There was one person, one target and one crossbow in the entire space.
As the figure tirelessly shot the crossbow arrows one after another, the key points of each action, such as loading arrows, aiming, and shooting, were carefully grasped and studied by the possessed Richard. Every time the figure shot an arrow, Richard almost had some insights.
This dreamlike process of controlling the crossbow to shoot was carried out for about 130 times before the shooting figure slowly stopped.
However, before Richard could fully react, his entire soul seemed to quickly return to his body from the dream.
As Richard's body trembled slightly, the dream ended!
"So that's it! This energy point works like this!" Richard's clenched fists reflected his excitement.
