Chapter 114: Flames Falling From the Sky!

Seeing that the fire had ignited, Karl turned around and rushed towards the skeleton knight who had just spoken.

Regardless of the other undead, this guy must die here today!

Releasing all the fire elements recently accumulated in the dragon crystal, Karl smashed towards the skeleton knight like a falling meteor.

Unexpectedly, Karl could be so decisive. The Skeleton Knight who couldn't dodge was knocked off his horse.

The two rolled together in the burning woods, beating each other.

However, Carl was wearing power armor, which not only provided heat insulation, but also caused thunderous damage with his fists.

Although this Skeleton Knight has a high IQ, his hardware strength is indeed not as good as Karl's.

While beating the opponent, Karl also gave the skeleton knight a blow on the head from time to time.

I don’t know if the other skeleton knights were not smart enough, but they actually let the two of them get entangled while they themselves led the undead soldiers to put out the fire.

Although the fire was slightly under control, the thick smoke could not go unnoticed by the rangers in the distance.

So they are trying to hide the fire now.

The Skeleton Knight who was entangled with Carl probably also knew this, so he had been working hard to convey this to his companions.

But helplessly, as soon as he was about to speak out, Karl interfered with him with his spiritual power.

Karl didn't know the principle of how the skeleton made sounds, but this did not prevent him from getting rid of the skeleton knight.

As Karl struck with thunderous fists, the Skeleton Knight could already feel the power of the Kingdom of Death attached to his body beginning to loosen.

This means that his career as an undead is coming to an end.

At the critical moment, the skeleton knight had a flash of inspiration and rushed towards Karl through the spiritual link to the undead soldiers under his command.

"Buzz——"

Suddenly, there was a roar.

Then, there was the sound of trees falling down all around.

Following the sound, Hope, who was more than three meters tall, was wielding a chainsaw in both hands, cutting down the burning trees one by one.

"Karl!"

Seeing Karl and the Skeleton Knight struggling, she immediately rushed over.

"Hope! Kill this skeleton knight!"

Yelling these words loudly, Karl turned his body, and then kicked the Skeleton Knight away.

Flying in the air, the Skeleton Knight looked at Hope, trying to do something under the threat of death.

So, like the Skeleton Knight just now, he used the Crazy Crown.

However, this spell does not pose much threat to individuals with higher perception.

Hope's Wisdom attribute is enough for her to be a Druid, and she is still using Fury.

The effect of the spell had just taken effect, and before anything happened to Hope, her body continued its previous actions according to the guidance of instinct.

The roaring chainsaw struck down vertically, cutting the Skeleton Knight into two pieces.

The power of the Kingdom of Death dissipated from the Skeleton Knight, and he turned into bones on the ground.

Hope's eyes were confused for a moment, then regained their clarity.

Looking at the undead who were putting out the fire around her, she felt a little ridiculous for a moment.

"Are they putting out a fire?"

No matter how you look at it, the undead and fire-fighting don't go well together. Compared to putting out fires, setting fires is more suitable for them.

"Ha! They are afraid that the smoke will be seen by the ranger troops in the distance and reveal their whereabouts. However, it seems that their brains are not very good. At this time, they are still thinking about putting out the fire."

Because most of these skeleton knights were transformed not long ago, their intelligence is indeed not very bright.

The veteran Skeleton Knight who transformed them didn't come either, so it seemed like they were a bit mentally retarded.

There is no clear rule for the undead to inherit their own wisdom during life. Except for lichs who transform themselves, whether the other undead are smart depends entirely on luck.

After helping Karl up, Hope didn't say much, just found a skeleton knight and rushed over.

Needless to say, the strength advantage of large creatures is obvious. A skeleton knight who did not react quickly was cut into two pieces by her and his mount.

At this time, the Skeleton Knights finally realized what their top priority was now.

They immediately gave up putting out the fire and charged towards Hope with their undead men.

Even if it was Hope, nothing good would happen if he was surrounded by this group of people.

As it happens, Hope's time on the rampage is coming to an end.

She and Karl looked at each other, and then took the initiative to cancel the madness.

Carl activated the dragon crystal again, used the last fire element to drive the power armor, and flew out of the woods with Hope.

In the distance, Lisanna was waiting on the carriage.

'These two people probably turned back because they saw the smoke. In that case, the rangers from Hongye Township should also have seen it...'

Thinking silently in his heart, Karl landed safely and ran towards the carriage with Hope.

"Lisanna! Let the carriage run!"

Although Karl originally wanted Lisanna and Hope to go to the rangers of Hongye Township for help, now that they are back, it would be inappropriate to talk about anything else.

Seeing Hope and Karl, Lisanna's eyes lit up, and she started running again with the carriage.

Carl and Hope chased for a while and then climbed into the carriage.

Behind him, the skeleton knights and their undead soldiers were chasing after him.

The two sides ran on the road for a long time. Suddenly, a wave of arrows rained down from the sky.

At the same time, loud bird calls sounded in the sky.

Carl knew that it should be the rangers from Hongye Township.

As expected, with the arrival of the rain of arrows, several rangers riding beast companions appeared from the front.

Seeing the skeleton knights and other undead behind Carl and his team, several people tacitly changed direction, and then adopted the kite tactic to continuously shoot arrows at the undead behind.

The skeleton knights wanted to fight back, but their arrows were naturally not as powerful as those of the rangers.

Except for nailing a few arrows on Carl's family's carriage, there was no output throughout the whole process.

Seeing that Hongye Township was about to be in front, several skeleton knights desperately urged their mounts to catch up.

But at this time, Carl climbed onto the roof of the carriage again, then raised his arms and fired.

The bullets fell like raindrops, and in a short while, the undead troops behind them actually suffered a large-scale reduction in personnel.

They had been roasted by the flames in the woods for a while, and their bones cracked due to the high temperature.

Carl fired so hard that many undead soldiers were immediately eliminated.

The rangers surrounding the carriage looked at Carl with flickering eyes. If the situation was not wrong now, they would have pestered Carl to ask where he bought his weapons.

As they were about to reach Hongye Township, a flame suddenly rose from the village.

"Master?"

Hope shouted in surprise, and the flame fell to the ground and turned into a fire elemental archon.

The flaming sword slashed out, and the undead troops who had no time to dodge were affected by the flames, directly losing half of their undead soldiers.
