Chapter 88 Battlefield Earth Spirit

  The deputy of Viscount Lusere led the remaining men to gallop away, no longer daring to look at the black mage tower again. At this moment, the silent and motionless mage tower had become an indelible shadow in the hearts of these human cavalrymen.

  Along with the remaining Albion priests and their followers, they fled hastily westward.

  Immediately afterwards, row after row of shield-bearing soldiers emerged from the inner city wall, forming neat rows, holding crossbows, and walking step by step to the edge of the pit. Then, under Gada's command, they began firing at the soldiers in the pit like a collective urination.

  "We surrender! We surrender!" The humans at the bottom of the pit shouted loudly, seeing that their leader had abandoned them.

  Kada had already walked to the side, the blood-sucking vines on his left hand stretched down, happily sucking fresh blood. When humans shouted that they wanted to surrender, the dog-headed people of the shield-striking team stopped firing because Gua Dazhang Lao had ordered it and Tuban Zhangguan had also ordered it - humans who surrendered should not be killed again.

  Seeing this group of dog-headed people actually having the action of leniency towards captives, Gada couldn't help but sneer and said to the humans at the bottom of the pit: "You attacked Pailos Castle, thinking that as long as you surrender, you can get your master's forgiveness?"

  The people at the bottom of the pit looked at each other in dismay, their faces pale and wan, seemingly unable to escape their fate.

  Khadal's blood vine had already reached the bottom of the pit, and had sucked the fresh blood of several horses dry, and then placed itself under the bodies of several human knights with the strongest vitality. It said calmly: "As long as you draw your swords and kill one of your comrades next to you, we will consider that you truly want to surrender."

  "One is enough, we are also a merciful race." Gada split open his mouth and revealed rows of snow-white teeth. This smile was not moving at all.

  The faces of the human cavalrymen looked even more unsightly, but there was a glimmer in their eyes. In desperate situations, as long as there is still a thread of hope, they will not jump over the wall like mad dogs, but they also no longer have the ability to pull the dog-headed people together to die.

  Between humans and between humans and dog-headed men, eyes with unclear meanings were exchanging glances, the scene was quite awkward, and the atmosphere seemed even colder than the surrounding solid ice.

  Gada, however, seemed to savor something particularly delicious in this atmosphere, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, saying: "I have been moved by your profound camaraderie, since you would rather die together than live shamefully, I am willing to fulfill your glorious names.

  "Of course, this is also a kind of mercy for us. Unfortunately, no one will spread it for us anymore. Because you are all dead."

  Gada stretched his tone and said to the dog-headed men around him: "Remember to take away the last piece of cloth on their bodies, if you encounter fat ones, you can also cut off the meat to feed our ferocious weasels."

  In fact, the dog-headed people of Palletsburg did not domesticate their traditional pet ferrets, but humans were unaware of this and their fear deepened.

  Even some humans shouted and scolded loudly, but Gada remained unmoved, as if he had only heard the wind passing by his ears.

  Then he raised his right hand and said: "All have!"

  "Draw your crossbow!"

  "Fire!"

  "Upper string!"

  Kada's every sentence was deliberately prolonged, the dog-headed people's unique dialect made these few sentences sound as if they were full of sharp teeth and claws, gnawing at every human's eardrum.

  Just as Gada was about to give the order to shoot, the human cavalrymen at the bottom of the pit suddenly shouted and swung their weapons to kill their comrades on the side.

  After a pause of three to five seconds, most of the human soldiers who had been ordered to surrender by Gada had basically completed their surrender.

  Kadaha burst out laughing and loudly declared: "Release!"

  In an instant, the iron arrows on the crossbow were like a rain of ice, covering everything. All human cavalrymen showed despair and resentment on their faces. The desperate cries echoed across the desolate icy plain.

  Seeing this expression, Gada laughed even more happily and wildly, like a madman kneeling on the ground, crazily pounding his own fists, laughing to the point of being out of breath.

  There were still a dozen or so cavalrymen surviving in the pit, these people basically used the corpses of their dead comrades to cover their bodies instead of slashing at their own comrades in the last moment.

  "Kada, that's enough."

  The remaining dozen or so cavalrymen were all skilled in martial arts, with at least fourth-level abilities, and three of them even had fighting spirit. In the northern lands where martial prowess was paramount, such skills could bring them considerable influence.

  To say the least, in the final step, they used their comrades' corpses to cover themselves, rather than foolishly listening to the temptation of a mad dog-headed person, which shows that they are truly intelligent people.

  The north is not short of people with strong bodies, but it lacks people with strong minds.

  The Northern Alliance has already used actual actions to slap Guagua in the face in this battle, and Viscount Xihat and Pastor Duncan have used these dog-headed people as cannon fodder. Why bother killing opponents for allies who abandon their alliance? It's also good to reserve some strength to restrain the opponent.

  Then, Kuwa ordered the Dog Heads to clean up the battlefield, gather all the spoils of war, bind the surviving cavalry and take them away, and bury all the dead humans and horses in this pit.

  Fortunately, the pit was dug large enough to bury all the people, and then covered with one and a half meters of thick soil, which was considered settled. The dead horses were cut into dried meat, and even their internal organs were cooked into ten large pots of spicy miscellaneous soup for the dog-headed people to drink.

  With the help of humans in the refugee camp, the Dog Head people sorted out the spoils of war, separating the weapons and armor into one pile, and other personal belongings such as rings and necklaces into another. As for the gold coins and other things, it goes without saying that they were all placed in Gua's box.

  Then, a middle-aged man in the pawn industry categorized and evaluated these spoils of war, and finally concluded that the price of these spoils of war should be around 7,500 gold coins, equivalent to one-quarter of the annual fiscal revenue of the entire North!

  My goodness! Earning so much money from just one battle?! It seems that the enthusiasm of the Dog Head people for plundering isn't unreasonable after all!

  After winning this battle, the Dog Heads were even more joyful than during their sacred festival.

  On Gua's crystal ball, it can be seen that under the influence of the water system magic around Pailos Castle, something strange seems to be happening in that big pit.

  Gua specially dispatched a Fa Shi's eye, suspended above the Thousand People Pit, and began to flip through his own magical classics again.

  Gua Gu inherited the habits of his previous life, because he was stupid and couldn't understand many profound skills at once, so he memorized all the classics and then repeatedly ruminated on them, slowly absorbing and understanding.

  After coming to this mage tower for a lifetime, he also used the same method to recite all the magic books on the second floor by rote, and then find the relevant books in his memory when using them, and then find the usable parts.

  Soon, Gua found similar content in his own memory about the current thousand-person pit magic movement.

  This is after intense wars occurred near the spiritual vein, many people with strong grievances and resentment died. Later, when some people died without a firm belief, their grievances and resentment combined with the demonic energy near the spiritual vein to form this situation.

  The result is that these wandering souls will be bound by the strong resentment and grievances, and absorb the surrounding demonic energy to form a kind of vengeful spirit. This vengeful spirit can evolve through absorbing demonic energy and will also bind the souls of those it kills nearby, making them its minions. In the end, the entire region where the vengeful spirit resides will become a haunted city.

  These earthbound spirits have varying degrees of strength and weakness, but generally speaking, they all possess extremely special physical qualities and abilities.

  By referring to the classics, Kaku observed the flow of magic power through the eyes of a law master and finally confirmed this fact.

  It seems that a new earthbound spirit is being formed in this big pit. Guagua happened to flip through the Taoist's research on earthbound spirits.

  How to guide the formation of a land spirit, and add one's own magical seal in the land spirit, thus becoming the master of the land spirit, controlling the land spirit, making it a loyal and capable servant.

  Even some evil mages will actively capture and kill innocent people under their own mage towers, artificially creating a land-bound spirit to use as their magical servant, which is also a powerful watchdog that won't rest for 24 hours.

  According to the description in the magic book, Guagua carefully observed the situation around Qianrenkeng and judged the situation.

  It's just the right time, now that the earthbound spirit hasn't formed yet. Kukuri can either disperse this vengeful energy entirely and prevent the formation of an earthbound spirit, or she can add her own magical seal to guide its formation and create a powerful ghostly servant for herself.
