Chapter 378 - 188: Gargoyle Lair 3

The Flying Gargoyle hovered in the air, curiously sizing up the Skeleton Longbowmen below. Seeing they held no hostility, it descended and followed closely behind the Longbowmen, mimicking their every step, as if trying to figure out how to give them a good scare.

It followed them for two laps, making funny faces and lightly patting the Skeleton Longbowmen, but none of these antics got any scared reaction from them. This made the Flying Gargoyle feel very bored, so it decided to ignore the Longbowmen. It ran to the edge of the top floor, folded its wings, squatted down, and peered at the scene below.

It was bustling down below. Squads of Undead moved in and out of the Fortress, continuously delivering resources mined from the Wraith Mountain Range. The Tabu Minotaur Tribe’s area was just as lively; a group of Minotaurs were diligently learning combat techniques from the Minotaur Ghosts. Dust was rising in the direction of the city wall, which was under construction.

The Flying Gargoyle watched with great interest, its mind churning with ways to cause some mischief and pull a prank. Just as it was contemplating this, it suddenly looked up at the sky.

Silhouetted against the center of the huge, bright moon was a black figure. The figure paused in mid-air, its bat-like wings spread, and then flew down in its direction.

"Scree!" The Flying Gargoyle waved and chirped a greeting to its own kind.

The newly summoned Flying Gargoyle landed beside it, nodded, let out a squeak, and looked down below.

Besides the Flying Gargoyles, Li Ziyu had also summoned 100 Armor Guards.

[Armor Guard]

[Introduction: A type of Gargoyle developed using the Black Knight as a template. They possess thick Armor and excel at defense, making them excellent candidates for guarding one’s home. These fellows are rather lazy; they dislike moving around, whether it’s day or night, perhaps because their Armor is too heavy. But rest assured, they will become incredibly brave in the face of an enemy.]

[Requirements: Stone x30 units, Skeleton x3 units, Soul Energy x120 units]

When the first Armor Guard appeared before Li Ziyu, he was quite amazed.

The creature stood ramrod straight, its height similar to a Flying Gargoyle’s at over three meters tall. Its entire body was wrapped in thick armor, and in its hands, it held a Two-Handed Greatsword that resembled a German Knight Sword.

The Armor Guard looked just like one of those suits of knight’s armor that medieval nobility would display in a castle or hallway. This was especially true since the Armor Guard’s armor was modeled after the Black Knight, making it highly ornamental and deceptive. They were indeed excellent defenders.

The armor on their bodies had not been transformed into Metal Armor; it still had the appearance of stone. However, if you were to knock on it, you would feel that the stone had been altered by Magic Energy. Though it looked like stone, it had the texture and properties of metal, granting it a very high Defense Power.

After studying it for a moment, Li Ziyu ordered the Armor Guard to go to the first floor and wait on standby, like a decorative piece.

Compared to the Flying Gargoyle, the Armor Guard seemed much more staid and simple. It obediently walked down the stairs step by step, took up its position calmly at the bottom, and stood perfectly still, just as ordered.

"This thing’s weight must be astonishing," Li Ziyu muttered to himself.

Just now, when the Armor Guard was walking down the stairs, its footsteps had been very heavy, and its movements had seemed somewhat stiff and slow.

As more Armor Guards were summoned, Li Ziyu discovered that their armor and weapons varied. Most of them used Two-Handed Greatswords, but a considerable number also wielded other weapons like Long Spears, two-handed axes, and long swords.

They all stood in the first-floor hall. Although their weapons and armor weren’t uniform, this lack of uniformity actually increased their ornamental value. They looked just like a collection of individual stone sculptures, making the hall seem much less empty than before.
