"Go to the city hall and get the architectural structural diagram of the entire city." Downton had already confirmed that the city hall is in the eastern area of the underground city, and there are not many undead creatures entrenched there.
There will definitely be such information in the archives of the city hall, so Downton's plan is completely feasible.
Homer didn't answer. He originally thought the question was difficult, but he didn't expect it to be solved all at once, which made him suddenly feel a little emotional.
Downton's growth is faster than expected. Compared with the rapidly increasing force value, his brain that always keeps thinking is no less important. It is his biggest support and trump card.
Calm, confident, and always full of motivation to run, Downton is really scary.
Homer began to pray for Robinson and Lister. Provoking an enemy like Downton would definitely be the biggest failure in their lives.
"Anyone who has any objections can ask questions!" Downton glanced at the faces of the two girls. As for Jackson, he ignored them.
"No!" Hutao jumped up, "When will we set out? I can't wait to fight."
After a brief rest, Downton led the team and set off. On the way to the city hall, he used the Repentance of the Dead to recruit ghouls and replenish the demon servants consumed in the mine riot.
With Downton's current soul power, he can carry four low-level ghouls with strength around the first level of the soul, and fourteen ordinary soldiers.
"Wutao, what is your rank? What talent are you?" Since we are going to take risks together, Downton must of course understand the strength of each member, otherwise he will not be able to control the overall situation and fully unleash the team's combat effectiveness.
"I don't know, but it should be above the war level." Hutao raised his chin and thought for a while, but still couldn't find the exact answer.
"Activate your soul shield." The shield cannot be hidden, so it can clearly show the changes in level. Downton thought that Hu Tao didn't understand, but he didn't expect that her next words would make him stop in shock.
"I don't have a soul shield!" Hutao felt aggrieved. Why was he different from other magic users?
Downton looked at the grimoire. Homer did not project any words. Unless he asked it to perform soul detection, it would be impossible to confirm Walnut's race.
"I'm very powerful. You see, this shield can block war-level magic." Hutao was worried about being looked down upon by her elder brother, so she activated the shield she was born with.
A white eggshell, half broken, just wrapped the walnut inside, with dark magic runes flashing on it. Even the Grimoire, which always claimed to be a large encyclopedia, could not recognize it this time.
"No, you can't understand either?" Downton was surprised when Homer was silent. It seemed that the origin of Hu Tao was more mysterious than he expected.
Hu Tao always felt that the shape of the eggshell shield was too weak, making her feel like a protected baby bird, so she never used it unless it was a life or death situation.
"Where's the talent?" Celes asked, curiously circling the little loli.
"I don't have any talent either."
When answering this question, Hu Tao hesitated for a moment. Her beautiful big eyes also avoided Downton's sight, not daring to look at him.
"It doesn't matter. Just stay back." Maybe Hu Tao had something to hide. When Downton saw that Celes wanted to inquire, he stopped her.
"I don't want to be a defender, I'm very powerful." Hutao quit, shook his head like a rattle, and tried his best to think of the townspeople themselves. Then he pointed at Jackson, "I can fight ten of these miscellaneous soldiers, no,
a hundred!"
"Even if it's a thousand, just stay behind." Downton ruffled Hu Tao's hair, and then directed the servants to cross the street and enter the city hall.
Because no one knew where the archives was, they had to kill all the undead creatures they encountered and advance layer by layer. Celes volunteered to investigate, but was stopped by Downton.
Most of the people entrenched in this building are shadow spiders, and they have a strong sense of territorial defense. Even higher-level death knights will be attacked if they enter rashly.
"Anyway, soul power is needed. Sooner or later these monsters must be eliminated." Homer was held by Celes and fell to the end. While teaching her how to fight, he extracted the soul remains from the corpse.
Entering an unknown environment for the first time, Downton did not dare to launch a bold offensive. He held the tower shield in one hand and the black dragon wings in the other, and advanced slowly.
Although it was slow, it was better than safety. In the two-story corridor they walked through, more than sixty shadow spider corpses were left behind.
Downton, wearing the heavy armor of the Hundred Warriors, stepped onto the stairs. In front of him were two ghouls, acting as human shields to explore the way.
"Stop, prepare to fight!" Downton gave new instructions before ascending to the third floor.
Salsasa!
When the shadow spider runs, the sound it makes when its limbs rub against the wooden floor is like a young silkworm eating mulberry leaves. It makes people's teeth ache, but it can also be regarded as a warning signal.
In less than three breaths, a spider the size of a horse turned around the stairs and appeared in everyone's sight.
Seeing the prey, the spider spit out a mouthful of acid without hesitation and thrust out its chelicerae at the same time.
With a crunch, the sharp and hard chelicerae hit the ghoul's heavy armor, leaving a few scratches and sparks, but there was no way to break through their interception.
Downton held the cavalry saber and slashed out along the gap between the two demon servants' bodies.
The wings of the black dragon are indeed of the perfect top grade. They are so sharp that one blow cut the front half of the shadow spider's body into two pieces.
"Don't relax, one more thing!" Downton reminded, "Back off!"
The ghouls behind leaned to the sides, and when Downton passed by, they closed up again to form a shield wall to withstand the impact of the shadow spider.
"What's wrong? Listen to the sound, there aren't many monsters!" Hutao held the battle ax and wanted to join the battle.
"Change your tactics and continue fighting like this. You won't be able to use Celes's firepower."
Downton is very dissatisfied with the current efficiency. His strength has improved. When facing low-level spiders, he will solve the battle before Celes finishes chanting the magic. Sometimes even faster, causing the Death Banshee.
Waste of firepower.
"Then what should I do?" Hu Tao complained, "My firepower has been wasted."
"Bring them all down and kill them together!"
After retreating to the corridor, Downton put on a five-meter-long warrior dragon gun and arranged eight ghouls to guard the rear of the team, leaving two behind for emergencies. The rest were piled in front, and then roared.
.
The giant roar swept through the entire six-story building.
After a while, the whole building shook. Like an ant nest poured with boiling water, the spiders rushed out of the nest and pounced on the outsiders who entered the nest.
Boom. The first wave of spiders running at full speed slammed into the ghoul's human shield, opened its mouthparts, and sprayed venom.
The demon servants lived up to expectations and blocked their footsteps. Even if they were splashed with venom and corroded into white mist, they didn't care.
Downton put his shield on his head, and after dodging the venom attack, he stabbed into the gap with his dragon spear.
Handfuls of blood splattered, the fishy smell filled the air, and screams continued.
The spiders were in bad luck. Their chelicerae could not reach Downton at all, and they could not break through the ghoul's interception. They were like fish on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered by others.
"Why are you dazed? Attack!" Homer was depressed. Celes' attack consciousness was still too shallow. She should have prepared a magic spell before the spider rushed down. That way, she could strike when the monster entered the corridor.
hair.
"Isn't this too easy?" Hutao felt that Tang Zheng's tactics were too sharp, a one-sided killing, and then she began to beg, "Give me a dragon gun too, they can't hurt me at this distance.
!”
"It's coming from the back too!" Celes was still not as calm as Hu Tao. She saw a spider also appeared at the stairwell on the other side and became worried.
"Do your fort mission well." Homer scolded the projected text. His big bronze hand grasped a dragon gun and sent it out of the war space. "Hold..."
"I know, hold the back!" Before Homer finished his instructions, Hu Tao, who could no longer hold himself back, grabbed the dragon spear, jumped over the ghoul's head, and stood at the forefront.
"Look at me!"
Facing the charging Shadow Spider, the little Loli exhaled and raised her voice. She danced her right arm quickly and shook out dozens of gun flowers. Each gun flower quickly condensed into a magic dragon gun and then shot out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As if they were being shot by a steam ballista, the spiders suddenly fell to the ground, covered in blood and minced meat.
"How's it going? I'm pretty good, right?" Hu Tao looked at the messy corridor and turned back proudly to show off to Downton and Celes.
The little Loli wanted to prove herself so much that she completely ignored Downton's instructions.
"Come back soon!" Downton was anxious. With his character, no matter how powerful the little Lolita was, he would not use her.
"Your worries are unnecessary!" Hutao felt that he had been underestimated. Just as he was about to kill the second wave of shadow spiders, the ceiling suddenly collapsed with a rumble.
Nearly a hundred spiders fell down, drowning the walnuts and the ghouls.
"Open the shield, Jackson protects Celes, the ghouls charge, squeeze away the spiders, and save Hu Tao!" Downton immediately threw down the dragon gun, pulled out the black dragon wings, and released it around Celes.
Black dragon bombardment.
After Downton left, the demon servants in the rear closed up according to the instructions to form a shield wall to resist the attack of the spiders.
Celes was frightened, and the spiders fell down. It was like a rain of spiders, and the team was instantly swamped.
The green venom is spread and shot everywhere, making the field of vision full of green and white mist steaming. Their claws are not idle either, instinctively attacking everything around them.
Of course there were accidental injuries, but the trouble caused to Downton and his party was even greater.
"Wutao, don't panic, wait for me to save you!" Downton's first reaction was too fast. He fired five black dragon bombardments, and a coconut-sized magic black dragon formed, blasting the spiders around the Death Banshee into pieces, leaving flesh and blood.
Vague.
Fortunately, the two of them were not far away. Downton rushed to Celes with two quick steps, killed the remaining spiders, and then jumped towards Hutao, who was submerged in the spiders.
Jackson knew that this was a critical moment, and if he dared to cheat, he would definitely be executed by Downton, so he risked his life and used his body to protect Celes and prevent her from getting hurt.
The ghouls pushed forward savagely, but there were too many spiders, crowded together, making it impossible for them to move a step.
The spiders beneath Downton's feet were struggling and squirming, making him almost unsteady on his feet. Their claws and limbs kept scratching across his body, making harsh sizzling sounds as they rubbed against the heavy armor.
"Damn it, it would be great if there was an army of hate!" Downton slashed, cutting off the giant seal, directly cutting a fleshy dent in the spider group.
As the limbs splashed, the blood rolled and splashed to both sides like ocean waves.
One of the spiders was quite powerful. It attacked Downton with its chelicerae and pierced his back, causing him to stagger a few steps.
Downton couldn't care less about cleaning it up, saving Hu Tao was more important.
The little Lolita was holding a dragon spear. After being suppressed by the spider swarm, she couldn't use it at all. Fortunately, she heard Downton's shout and opened the shield in time, so she was not injured.
"Quick, quick, attack that one and protect them!" Homer projected an arrow to mark the attack target.
Celes chanted magic and fired phosphorus rockets. It could be seen that the Death Banshee had worked hard during Downton's absence, and she became more and more proficient in using this magic.
Downton had already extracted the power from the Titan statue. His left hand was like a war hammer. Every time he swung it out, several spiders would be smashed away. The cavalry saber in his right hand was opened and closed, cutting out corpses all over the place.
"Death!" Downton approached Hu Tao and punched away the spider on top of her.
The little Loli, covered in blood and mucus, stood up, grabbed a spider with both hands, and smashed it out.
"It's so abominable, I'm going to kill you all!" Hu Tao was furious. She wanted to show off in front of her elder brother, but she didn't expect to lose face. Especially when she saw him struggling to save her, she felt even more stupid.
He was hopeless, so he decided to kill all the spiders to vent his anger.
"That's enough, go back and stay!" Downton scolded, pulling Hutao behind him to shield her from the spiders in front of her.
Hu Tao glanced at Downton's back, pursed her lips and stepped back. In fact, even if Downton didn't appear, she could still protect herself, but she would be injured.
At the moment when she was overwhelmed by the big spider, the little Loli did not panic. Wandering alone had made her encounter similar situations before. The worst thing was to hide alone and lick her wounds silently, but this time
, different.
Listening to the anxious cry and seeing Downton's desperate rescue before being suppressed, Hu Tao felt a warmth bursting in his chest, just like a pile of hot fire suddenly ignited around him in the cold winter.
A bonfire contains the warmth of the whole world in its flames, making people want to rush towards it.
"Being strong doesn't mean that everything will go smoothly!" Downton is most afraid of sudden accidents. A lack of response may lead to attrition and the death of some ghouls. If he hurts Celes and Hu Tao,
, he will feel so guilty that he commits suicide.
"Be careful, there may be a highly intelligent monster appearing." Downton shouted, "The ceiling is not a wooden floor, so why did it collapse?"
Homer originally wanted to remind Downton, but he didn't expect that he had already noticed. What kind of observation is this? It is really keen and meticulous. (To be continued...)
