Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 312 Gargoyle Air Raid

"How can you be so stubborn, demon?" Quest swung his tail unhappily. "You don't need the gold coins here, so can't you go to Hell or the Abyss to use them?"

The Filthy Demon ignored him and just stared at Ron. For some reason, Ron felt indescribable strange being stared at by a demon in this way.

If he understood correctly, this look should mean: I'm in trouble, can you help me?
"We don't have any extra items on us at the moment, so there's no way to barter," Ron said tentatively, "but if there's anything you can do to help us, we'd be willing to do some work—"

The hundreds and thousands of single eyes that made up the Filthy Monster's compound eyes suddenly burst into bright light - she was just waiting for Ron to say this!
"Well, you are the new lord of Delusion Land and my master's business partner. Since you said so, how can I refuse?" The demon pretended to hide his ecstasy. "You came at the wrong time, or it should be the right time. These days, I don't know if there is a portal to the elemental plane opened on the other side of the mountain. A group of gargoyles drove away the giant eagles on the mountain and robbed the bird's nest as their nest. Recently, they have set their sights on my villagers in the Kingdom of Falama and come down to attack from time to time."

"I am too weak now, and it is difficult for me to flap my wings. It is really difficult to stop their harassment. Can you and your friends help me solve this problem?"

The Filthy Devil sighed, "Although I have already thrown myself into the embrace of the Nine Layers of Hell, if I want to completely transform and gain a new life, I must go to Hell. Before that, I am still a weak demon."

"We just want to ask for some food, so we have to kill a group of gargoyles? You know how to order people around," Ivy snorted, "You are simply-"

Before the half-elf finished speaking, the village suddenly became chaotic. The Filthy Demon's expression changed and he stood up suddenly: "Here they come! Those gargoyles are here again!"

Now was not the time to bargain, so Ron and the others immediately followed the Filthworm out of the house. As soon as they were exposed outside, Ron heard the flapping sound getting closer and closer above his head.

Evil creatures in the sky that looked like winged demons cast shadows. All the villagers who were covered by them were terrified and scrambled desperately to get into various buildings to avoid the attacks of these stone statues.

However, there is always a first and a last in the scramble. Those who get into the house first begin to lock the doors and windows in a hurry, while those who are slower can only lean against the closed doors and windows under the growing shadows, falling into desperate madness.

"Hey!"

An arrow flew up through the wind and pierced through the gargoyle's leg as it grabbed a little girl. Stone-like fragments fell down, and the gargoyle cried out in pain, letting go of the girl and turning around to pounce on the bow of Driver.

"Ha, come and hit me! You flying broken stone!" Driver rolled over to avoid the gargoyle's fatal claw and laughed at the enemy loudly, but he didn't notice that another gargoyle behind him took the opportunity to fly over, and its big mouth full of sharp teeth and rugged rocks that could not be distinguished rushed towards the goblin's head and bit off.

If it really bites hard, the ranger will inevitably end up like a headless knight. However, as a blazing fireball exploded behind the goblin, under the stone debris flying all over the sky, Sylvia put away her cane, and Victoria immediately blocked the vampire with a shield, fighting with a gargoyle whose wings were blown off. "If it is not necessary, taunt the corpse, not the living," Priest Heim stretched out his war hammer and pulled Driver, "Did you see that guy casting a spell in the sky?"

"Can you knock it down?"

"Here they come!" The enchanted arrows shot up into the sky. The three gargoyles who were hiding among their own kind and casting spells secretly were caught off guard. Three rays with gorgeous tails of flame, guided by the arrows, accurately shattered their heads. The stone bodies that had lost their magic power fell headfirst from the sky and turned into powder on the ground.

However, among these gargoyles, in addition to a large number of gargoyles that could bite and claw at close range and a small number of gargoyles that could cast spells, Ron also found a guy who was obviously different from the others of the same species.

The smaller gargoyle used the huge and heavy body of its kind to quickly dodge and avoid the shooting and tracking of Ron and others. When it had no cover anymore, the creature suddenly attacked. Its arms transformed into two blades from the shoulders. With the help of momentum and wings, the gargoyle spun rapidly in the air, turned into a meat grinder and fell from the sky, heading straight for Yelena who had just strangled a gargoyle with a barbed chain!

"Be careful!" The monk tapped the wall next to him with his toes, and the fiery red figure quickly disappeared into the darkness. The iron-wrapped stick head pounced out from the shadows like a venomous snake and hit the body of the small gargoyle accurately.

Everyone heard the sound of stone breaking, but the gargoyle did not break into pieces like its fellow gargoyles. Instead, it tilted sideways and used the momentum to draw an arc, bypassing Victoria's kite-shaped shield and heading straight for Sylvia behind!

"Mirror image--" Sylvia quickly deployed defenses, but the gargoyle was obviously well prepared, and the sudden appearance of the mirror image did not interfere with its trajectory at all. Blood spurted out from the back of the vampire, and Sylvia felt as if she was run over by a carriage - with this weight and impact force, this gargoyle was definitely not the size it appeared!

"It feels wrong! It's too heavy!" Quest's warning was just coming out now, but it was already a little too late. The huge gargoyle, which had revealed its true form, spread its wings that covered the sky, and its claws tore the cloth on Sylvia's shoulders, and lifted the mage up. It seemed that it had no intention of fighting at all, and was actually ready to flap its wings and leave immediately!

"Sylvia! Damn it! Commands, immobilization, stone shaping!" Victoria was undoubtedly the most anxious one seeing her companion being kidnapped in front of her. However, her god had not yet given her enough spells to influence the kidnapper who was two times larger than an ordinary gargoyle. If she could release flame strikes like the minotaur in the underground maze, Sylvia would never be captured so easily!

Ron's arrows and spells flew past the gargoyle's feet with all his might. In just a moment, the guy had actually flown out of everyone's maximum range and was about to fly away!
At this last moment, Ron pulled out the crossbow from his waist that did not need to be loaded with actual ammunition and pulled the trigger in a random direction.

"Cover your ears!" Ron issued a hoarse warning before the shrill magical scream drowned out all his companions, villagers, demons and gargoyles within a radius of forty meters. At the same time, a bronze egret statue fell into his other hand, and blood-colored lines immediately covered the statue.

"Go! Take that guy down for me! I'll take you to the manor!"
