Red Sand Fortress, north wall.

The genius had just dawned, and it was time to rotate guard. A group of soldiers came to the city wall to hand over work to the previous group of soldiers on duty.

"Good job, man."

One of the soldiers came over and said to the soldier who was on guard: "The shift change time has come. I am here to pick up the guard. You can leave your guard now."

"Okay, man. We haven't found any abnormalities in the north so far. Everything is normal."

Briefly explaining the situation when he was on guard duty, the guard guard took off the automatic rifle from his back and handed it to the other party.

But just as the soldier was about to take over the automatic rifle, a warning from other sentry soldiers suddenly came from not far away.

"There's a situation in the north!"

Hearing this, the soldiers on the city wall immediately became alert, turning their heads to look north, and found a black spot appearing in the sky in the distance, speeding towards here.

"That's an immortal monster!"

A captain present put down his telescope and urged loudly: "Quick! Send someone to sound the alarm! Everyone is ready for battle!"

Since the completion of the railway that runs through the Mystery Forest, Dawn City has provided strong support to Red Sand Fortress in many aspects, including military weapons and equipment, which has resulted in the upgrade of various facilities in Red Sand Fortress.

Nowadays, once an enemy situation is discovered, buglers no longer need to blow the horn. Instead, alarm horns that use electric energy are installed, and only a switch is pressed.

Woo——woo——

Soon, the alarm sound spread throughout the Red Sand Fortress, and many soldiers who were still sleeping immediately woke up, quickly got up, put on their clothes and equipment, and rushed to the city wall to join the battle.

Since the traces of the undead monsters disappeared in the winter two years ago, there has been no such emergency situation for a long time, and for a while there was some chaos inside the Red Sand Fortress.

However, on the whole, there was order in the chaos. After all, the emergency response plan had been rehearsed several times, and everyone knew what they should do.

As soon as he climbed onto the watchtower on the northern city wall, Knight Commander Hughes Benjer hurriedly asked: "What emergency has occurred?"

"Lord Benjier."

The senior military officer who was the first to arrive here quickly came over and reported: "The undead monster that disappeared for two years has finally reappeared."

"What?!"

After learning this, Hughes's face immediately became solemn, and he quickly walked to the wall and looked at the northern sky.

At this time, the flying undead monsters in the distance had already advanced quite a distance towards Red Sand Fortress, and it was possible to visually estimate that the number of enemies was about fifty.

In addition, it can also be clearly seen that they are chasing a human riding a Pegasus in front of them.

Isn't that Elena Helen, the captain of the joint investigation team? Is she the only one who escaped?

It seems that the joint investigation team must have suffered heavy losses while performing their mission deep in the Mark Desert, and the others have most likely died.

After roughly understanding the situation, Hughes decisively issued an order to the communications unit: "Hurry up and get the sniper team in place quickly to snipe the undead monster behind the Pegasus and cover Elena Helen's safe return to Red Sand Fortress!"

"Yes!" The communications soldier quickly conveyed the order.

After receiving the order, the members of the sniper team stationed in Red Sand Fortress quickly climbed onto the city wall, set up sniper rifles beside the city wall, and used the scope to snipe the undead monsters in the air that were relatively close to Pegasus.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several undead monsters were shot and fell around Pegasus, which greatly ensured Elena's personal safety.

Other gun-wielding soldiers, machine gunners, and artillerymen in the rear artillery positions are all on standby. Because their attack accuracy is not as good as that of physical snipers, they are worried that they may accidentally injure Elena who is riding Pegasus, so it is not convenient to take action.

Seeing the group of undead monsters in the rear always trying to attack Elena, the soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but sweat for her and prayed silently in their hearts:

You must come back safely!

Bang! Bang!

Two more undead monsters were shot and fell. Fortunately, the snipers' sniping was very powerful, creating a relatively safe space for Alina.

The group of undead monsters at the rear found that as soon as they got close to Pegasus, they would be attacked by enemy bullets, and for a while they did not dare to attack.

Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the city wall, taking this opportunity, Elena grabbed the reins, leaned down, and gave instructions to Pegasus.

"Sprint! You must fly over that wall!"

Phew——

After understanding its master's command, the Pegasus raised its head and neighed, then flapped its wings vigorously, and suddenly accelerated forward and flew forward, suddenly putting a long distance away from the group of undead monsters behind it.

Due to the long flight, Pegasus was almost exhausted at this time. In this final sprint, it directly used all its strength, which was a little too hard.

As a result, Elena, her people and her horse flew across the city wall as fast as a falling meteorite, and then fell into the city.

Even though Pegasus tried his best to slow down, in the end he still hit the ground heavily with his master.

Fortunately, Pegasus is a spiritual mount that loves its master very much. At the last moment, it used its own body to reduce the shock wave of hitting the ground, so that Elena was not seriously hurt.

It suffered a huge impact, its wings on both sides were broken on the spot, and its body was severely damaged both inside and outside. Even if it could be revived, it would probably not be able to fly in the future.

In the watchtower of the city wall, seeing Elena flying from above on a Pegasus, Hughes decisively issued a counterattack order to all the soldiers.

"Attack! Destroy those undead monsters for me!"

After receiving the order, the ordinary soldiers quickly raised their automatic rifles, aimed at the undead monster in the air, and pulled the trigger; the machine gunner also raised the muzzle of the heavy machine gun and pressed the trigger; in the artillery position behind the city wall, the gunner waved

He lowered his arm and issued a bombardment command.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Chug tug tug - Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, a large number of dense bullets flew towards the group of undead monsters in the sky, and the shells fired from behind also exploded in the air one after another, turning into balls of fire and black smoke.

Facing the invading undead monsters, the Red Sand Fortress soldiers decisively used the most violent firepower to fight back.

In this round of attacks alone, more than three-quarters of the undead monsters were severely injured and fell to the ground one after another. Many of the undead monsters' bodies were beaten into a hornet's nest or blown to pieces.

The remaining undead monsters couldn't make any waves, and were quickly shot down one by one by the soldiers, and the battle ended like this.

With the current strong strength of Red Sand Fortress, it is easy to deal with this undead monster.

On the other side, inside the fortress.

Under the instructions of Hughes, a team of soldiers rushed to the place where Elena and Pegasus fell.

When they arrived, they found a shallow crater at the crash site. Pegasus suffered a huge impact when it hit the ground and is now in a dying state.

Although Alina on horseback did not suffer much damage when she hit the ground, she was attacked by undead monsters on her way back, and she still had many scars on her body.

Seeing this situation, the captain ordered the soldiers to prepare a stretcher quickly, while he went over to inquire about the other party's injuries.

"Ms. Helen, are you okay? We will send you to receive treatment right away. You must hold on!"

"Ahem!"

Elena coughed a few times, then weakly and with difficulty conveyed the information to the soldiers: "Undead monsters...appeared in large numbers...jihad... broke out..."

"Okay, I understand." The captain nodded solemnly, "I will report this news to Lord Benjiel, please don't worry."

After hearing those last words, Elena immediately felt relieved.

But as soon as she relaxed, the fatigue from the escape suddenly came over her, and she fell asleep on the spot.

Next, the soldiers worked together to lift Elena onto a stretcher, and then quickly transported her to the medical center for treatment.
Chapter completed!
