Griffith's heartstrings were instantly tightened, and he shouted to the Storm Squadron beside him.
The cavalry hurriedly brought in their horses. In the darkness, a shambling woman approached the cavalry. She was wearing a beautiful evening dress, like a guest at a banquet. Her gait was stumbling, as if she was drunk.
It is very inappropriate for a lady to walk alone at night like this. Griffiths, who was worried in his heart, waved to the people around him:
"Paxiu, go see this lady and escort her home."
"Yes, sir," Paxiu strode towards the girl, "Miss, please let me help you."
The girl stopped and seemed to be observing the soldier's movements. Paxiu thought he had scared her and spoke again in a gentler tone.
The girl didn't answer or refuse. Silent uneasiness grew in everyone's hearts.
The girl walked out of the shadow by the wall wordlessly and raised her head. Half of her chin and neck had been bitten off her pale face, her eyes were white, and there were still traces of flesh and blood left in her open mouth.
"Ready for battle!" Nona shouted.
Her voice was drowned out by Griffith's louder roar:
"Blow the rally call!"
The dead girl suddenly burst into flames and rushed over. Paxiu hurriedly raised his shield to block the front. However, there was a heavy shock on his arm, and the shield almost came off, and he was thrown to the ground by a dead woman.
"Living corpse!" Gil de Ace shouted angrily, drawing his sword and rushing towards him to save his companions. Suddenly another figure emerged from the darkness and jumped towards him on horseback.
"Don't get bitten by it!" Griffith rode his horse and rushed to Paxiu's side. He waved his sword with light and chopped off the head of the living corpse that was about to bite Paxiu.
Desai raised his lance at lightning speed and nailed Ace's end to the ground. However, the living corpse was passed through the chest, and he continued to show his teeth and claws, trying hard to tear off two pieces of flesh and blood from the living person in front of him.
"Form up!" Griffith shouted, "Where's the bugle? Bugle warning!"
The trumpeter of the squadron was stunned by the monster he had never seen before, but he immediately woke up and blew the sound with all his strength. The living corpse nailed to the ground by Desai suddenly twitched violently, and his whole body was like a balloon.
Get swollen.
"Disperse!" Nona exclaimed.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud explosion that made everyone's ears buzz. Shock waves and explosions exploded around the cavalry, and the armored cavalry and dragoons who were forming a team fell to pieces.
The splashing acid splashed on the armor and horses of the cavalry, making frightening corrosive sounds and white smoke. The team suddenly became a mess. The frightened horses threw off their riders, screaming and bumping everywhere.
Weird and dense footsteps sounded from all directions. In the wide square, groups of twisted and swollen people were rolling towards the cavalry and Miss Mirantis' car that were on guard everywhere.
At the end of the square, in the southeast corner, a group of swift and ferocious monsters appeared. A large group of ghouls with exposed brains, sharp claws flashing green, and skinless ghouls swarmed in, surrounded by swollen carrion piles of suture monsters.
Groups of black figures emerged from the sewers of the square and suddenly pounced on the crowd from all directions. Among these black figures were swollen acid monsters with acid spraying all over their bodies. They pounced into the crowd,
"Fight!"
Loud bugles rang through the night sky. Many soldiers from Odessa and Beyelan's guards were also deployed in the square. They formed into formation as soon as they saw the appearance of the monster. Officers everywhere reacted and issued powerful shouts.
With war cries and instructions, the cavalry guards patrolling the Summer Palace Square were dispersed and they quickly started attacking the monsters from all directions.
Griffith grabbed the blood thorn handed by Desaix and said to Nona who had just fallen off the horse: "Everyone dismount and guard the entrance here!"
Afraid that everyone might not understand, Griffith repeated with a roar that shook the world:
"Dismount and fight on foot, immediately, immediately!"
On duty today were the armored cavalry squad and two dragoon squads of Storm Squadron. The light cavalry stayed in the camp under the command of Lean. After hearing the order, Paxiu and Ace were caught off guard by the sudden attack.
Immediately giving up the plan of climbing on the horse, Desai also jumped off the saddle and threw the lance. They grabbed the reins of the frightened horse and helped each other take off the cavalry shield and throw the lance.
In an instant, the Storm Squadron became staunch infantry. They stood side by side, raising their shields like a wall, withstanding the attacking monsters and splashing acid without even retreating. Following the order, they drew their swords and swung out,
Wherever the cold light reached, it stirred up a pile of rotting severed limbs.
Other places in the square emitted one after another explosions, mixed with the rustling sound of acid splashing and corrosion, and one after another screams.
Amidst the blood-curdling screams, the exploding acid corroded flesh and blood, and the passers-by who were splashed were corroded into piles of bones in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry were running around and the place was in chaos.
The most loyal and reliable elites were deployed here, including extraordinary people and experienced officers. However, the monsters and attacks they had never seen before frightened the horses, and they could not even assemble for a while.
There was a scream on the road beside the square. Miss Mirantis's car, which left along the four-car white stone avenue in front of the Summer Palace, seemed to be washed away by the tide. A large group of gray-brown monsters poured out from nowhere,
Straight into her guards.
“Bang bang bang!”
A series of explosions sounded in the air, and the escorting cavalry was instantly wiped out. The remaining monsters were like waves crashing on the shore, directly knocking over her carriage and pushing it to roll on the ground.
"Nonna, hold on here, I'll be back as soon as I go!" Griffith saw that the Storm Squadron had formed a formation and tore off the sealing rope of the Blood Thorn.
Time, the most important thing is time. Even if there are more living corpses, even if the death knight comes, it is impossible to actually threaten the strong men in the Summer Palace, not to mention that all the guards are elite soldiers. After getting through the chaos in front of them, they will
Restore organization immediately.
What is the significance of tonight's attack? Is it Diana De Mirantis?
Griffith rode his horse and held a gun, and rushed towards the rolling carriage pushed by the corpses.
…
Princess Mirantes almost vomited out her bile. Her carriage kept rolling like a pumpkin falling into a torrent, with parts and fragments flying out. The maids and guards around her either fainted or fell out of the carriage.
.
The rolling finally stopped, and the princess, who couldn't distinguish between east and west, stumbled to her feet, held her wand and pushed open the door to escape.
She staggered before she could climb a few steps. Something grabbed the hem of her skirt and was dragging her back. Looking back, she saw rotten heads squeezed one by one outside the car window on the other side, with only white bones sticking out.
and rag's hands pulled at the hem of her skirt.
Miss Mirantis felt her brain buzzing. The monster she had never seen before caused a large chunk of her rationality to evaporate, and she almost vomited.
She clutched her cramped chest, suppressed her nausea, and raised her wand:
While chanting the spell, she also twirled her hair accessories, and the pre-prepared psychic energy burst out, amplifying her spell.
A crystal ring of ice immediately formed around her. The ice and the strong wind continued to grow and spread, and in a blink of an eye they formed a roaring force that exploded and swept across. The ice and frost impacted outward in a ring shape, making a loud roar and exploding into the sky with ice mist and debris.
and white energy, knocking down the carriage and the zombies swarming outside.
The princess patted her skirt and the pieces all over her body. A strange smell flowed into her mouth, bringing an unfamiliar bitter taste. She touched her forehead and found that blood had flowed down half of her face.
Before the debris and mist splashed by the impact of the ice ring dissipated, she heard the sound of heavy horse hooves approaching her.
"I'm here!" the princess shouted and ran in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.
There were footsteps in the dimness, and several injured soldiers came to her side. Before everyone could take a breath, Herod's neighing sound penetrated the heart.
In the field of vision shrouded by broken ice and mist, a black knight and a large and startling horse shadow appeared, approaching slowly and unhurriedly.
The soldiers who had just gathered suddenly let out an inhuman scream, dropped their weapons and ran away without a trace.
Miss Mirantes' whole body trembled. She couldn't move for some reason, praying with all her hope that the knight in the shadow was a nearby guard, but the hair all over her body stood up in despair like a frog encountering a poisonous snake.
Get up. Every premonition screamed, reminding her of impending despair.
She saw the knight's face clearly.
Under the black iron helmet are rotten facial bones, there is no skin on the bridge of the nose and teeth, and only green ghost fire remains where the eyeballs should be. Under the gauntlets holding the reins are dead gray bones and rotten flesh. The mount's neck is under the crotch.
A large piece of flesh and blood was also bitten off, exposing the numerous bones on his chest.
Death, death knight? The princess wanted to call for help, but her voice was stuck in her throat, and there was only a terrified whimper between her trembling silver teeth. She had heard of undead creatures in stories, and had dreamed about them when she fell asleep in class when she was studying.
A vague monster, dreaming of sweeping these rotten bones with a ring of ice.
Miss Mirantes was so frightened that she lost her mind. She faced the monster on the Skeleton Army's horse. She forgot all about the spells and accessories and escaped. She just felt that she was childish for thinking that she could fight against such a terrifying monster.
"You think you can challenge me?"
The undead knight emits an echo that directly strikes the soul. It has no vocal cords and cannot speak, but the ghost fire in its eye bones has penetrated fear into the girl's brain, directly digging out chaotic memories.
It raised its hand and pointed, and the green fire between flame and liquid was about to spurt out.
Suddenly, in the darkness, there were rapid hooves of horses, one man and one horse thrust straight through the thorns.
The knight rode a red horse and held a lavender spear soaked in cold light. He blocked the path of the undead knight like the wind and stabbed him with his spear.
"Maggots!"
The undead roared, pointing the ghost fire in his hand at the knight. Astonishing blood burst out from the knight's side, sweeping across like a sharp blade.
Both parties were struck by the fear of the other, and turned around and fled in opposite directions in front of the panicked princess. However, the knight who came to the rescue recovered faster, broke away from the fear in a blink of an eye, and flew back to her waist.
A basket of room.
Miss Mirantis felt like she was flying up. Then she was pressed on the saddle and ran wildly. The strong wind whistled in her ears.
"Who are you!" she exclaimed, struggling to sit up, "where are you taking me?!"
"I am Griffith!" the knight growled, "let's go back to the summer palace."
"Ah, Mr. Death Knight, that's great." The confused princess breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed his armor tightly and hid in her arms.
"No, no, no, I'm not," Griffith fled into the escort of friendly forces without looking back, turning back to point at the monster that was surrounded by the surging corpses, "That guy is the real deal."
