Chapter 206 The arrival of another Catalan army
Just as the king was about to answer Elzam's words, the paladin had already broken through the barrier composed of undead creatures.
This is a team of five paladins. Each person's body is shrouded in pure white and soft light. When you see that light, you will think of the spring breeze, and then generate a series of associations.
That association formed a sharp contrast with the bright light of the Holy Slash.
Wherever the Holy Slash strikes, no matter whether it is a skeleton or a ghoul, everything falls apart. Even the zombies with the strongest survivability cannot withstand the second strike.
However, the zombies resurrected by Elzam will burst into pus, which is corrosive and can delay the paladin.
The king turned and ran away.
He never expected that as he was approaching the final situation, he would be chased all over the street by five paladins.
Elzam above his head was still arrogant: "Huh, that means I don't have high-level spells anymore. If I had high-level spells, I would kill five paladins for you."
The lich can speak. After all, his speech is actually telepathy. If you want to avoid being heard by others, just limit the recipients.
As soon as the king opened his mouth, the paladin behind him might have heard it.
He just ran all the way and entered the shanty town surrounding the embassy.
**
The Catalan general Tullius was dumbfounded. Can you believe it that the team of paladin who risked his life drove the lich away?
He touched his chin: "Isn't this lich actually not strong? But looking at the speed of transformation of the dead, it looks like the kind of old lich that has been alive for a long time. The old lich usually kills five paladins casually."
After all, the legion's accompanying paladins are not as strong as the church knights. At least in Tullius's view, these five paladins are even afraid of the pus that bursts from zombies.
However, the lich still ran away, and accordingly more undead creatures surrounded the paladins.
The paladin who rashly penetrated into the undead formation was directly surrounded. Tullius soon could only see the faint light among the undead creatures - that should be the aura of the paladin.
Suddenly a leg was thrown into the sky. Judging from the violent blood on the broken leg, it should be the leg of a living person.
The paladin's aura began to dim.
In the end, the undead's quantity overwhelmed the paladins' quality.
Tullius no longer hesitated and shouted loudly: "Herald! Blow the retreat horn immediately!"
The Catalan Legion is well-trained, and even their retreat has been fully tempered. As the horn blows, they will quickly retreat in batches to the pre-determined retreat point.
The retreat point this time is naturally the portal.
The adjutant said loudly: "General! How should I explain to the emperor and the imperial advisor?"
Tullius: "How to explain? We don't know where the master and the agent have gone. Isn't this the end of the report? Or do you know where the agent and the master have gone?"
The adjutant was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head: "I don't know."
Tullius: "The religious order has their own system, so let the believers of the local religious order worry about this kind of thing. The Catalan Imperial Legion is only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor."
Tullius deliberately avoided talking about the fact that the agent was a Catalan princess.
The adjutant looked suddenly enlightened: "I understand, we only need to report that the undead attack interrupted the process, and then we just need to pass the blame and say we didn't know."
Tullius: "You can also bite back, saying that the Order did not report the knowledge, causing heavy losses to the legion. You see, the Sphinx troops who captured the Floating City have not yet heard back, and 80% of them have been destroyed. This must be the Order.
The information provided is wrong.
"The main force of the legion was originally preparing to seize the port and seize ships to attack the floating city. However, an undead army suddenly appeared and pushed back the main legion. Is this our responsibility? This is obviously the responsibility of the religious group's poor intelligence collection."
The adjutant was overjoyed and shouted: "General, you are so smart! And according to the news released by the Salvation Team, the crisis of annihilation is divided into several stages. In one stage, the undead are the allies of the Salvation Team. The cult did not pay attention to collecting information about the undead.
dereliction of duty!"
At this time, a centurion appeared at the door of the temporary command post and reported loudly: "General! The heads of the Grand Duke, Grand Duchess and auxiliary ministers of the Frank Principality have been brought!"
Tullius was overjoyed: "Very good, very good! Now we have the opportunity to communicate with the master who has returned to the court!"
**
At this time, the former regional boss of the sect, the regional director Odolf, and the commander of the operations department Oga were staring at each other in the hall where the portal was located.
Princess Cadia was originally going to let the two of them fight against the Salvation Team, but then she thought about it and thought that Oudolf was only seven rings, and the seven rings of the Order that the Salvation Team had killed were enough to start a game of bridge.
So the princess decided to go there herself and the master, while Odolpho and Oga stayed here.
Now the princess and the master have been gone for so long without any news, and then the situation outside suddenly changed, and a lot of undead creatures appeared.
Although there is no evidence to prove that the appearance of undead creatures is related to the princess and the others, most people will wonder: if there is no news of such a big change, could it be that the princess and the master have fallen out of love?
Now the sounds of fierce battles between the legion and the undead creatures outside are constantly coming in. The soldiers of the field branch of the religious order who were left behind in the hall all looked at each other. Some of them had the idea of running away written on their faces, and more people chose to pull in.
Genora prays.
Ragnola's power also includes expelling undead creatures, and theoretically speaking, its cult should also be very good at dealing with undead creatures.
In fact, the warriors of the Order all use a special smoke bomb, which is said to be effective against undead creatures.
However, no one has actually used this anti-undead smoke grenade.
After all, in the past, either the Holy Emblem or Holy Water or Holy Fire was used to fight against the undead. This is the first time I heard that holy smoke can fight against the undead.
At this moment, the Legion's horn suddenly came from outside.
Oga frowned: "Retreat horn? What's going on? The legion isn't going to run away, is it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and General Tullius and his adjutant from the Catalan Army strode in.
Oga stepped forward to stop the two of them, while Oudolf silently walked to the position where he could close the portal at any time - leaving him, a seventh-ring mage, behind, mainly for this reason: if the situation is not right, it can prevent the enemy from going back through the portal.
Attacking Catalonia.
Oga: "General Tullius, what do you mean by this? Your Majesty and the National Adviser want to seize the Floating City at all costs. Why are you returning before you even set foot on the Floating City's land?"
General Tullius sneered: "How dare you say that your intelligence was wrong and the Imperial Legion's advance was blocked by the undead! Did the intelligence you gave me even mention half a word about the undead?"
Oga: "There are just some low-level skeleton soldiers, zombies and ghouls. We don't even see medium-level undead creatures such as ghosts, let alone high-level undead creatures such as black knights. How can the Imperial Legion not defeat them?"
"
Tullius: "If they were just ordinary undead creatures, it would be easy to destroy them, but according to the tip, the Lich himself has arrived at the scene and killed the paladin team that went to conquer them!
"This place is obviously about to become a kingdom of the dead controlled by the lich. It should be the task of the knights of each god to defeat him. The Catalan Legion has gloriously completed part of the task and obtained the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of the Frank Principality as well as the Auxiliary Government.
Heads on the heads of ministers!
"Now the legion should regroup and return to the court! Sing a triumphant song!"
Ordolf sneered: "What a triumphant song! His Majesty's order is to seize the floating city at all costs! Where is the floating city?"
Tullius: "We dispatched the Sphinx troops according to the order of the Order and lost the only air cover. As for not capturing the floating city, of course it is the responsibility of the Master of the Order who made the decision to send the Sphinx troops."
Anyway, Tullius never mentioned the fact that the representative of the Order was the emperor's daughter.
Your religious group will take the blame for everything.
Oga: "A few of them wanted to escape before the battle, and they even blamed the sect. I'm sorry I can't accept it. Just suffer death!"
After the words fell, all the field troops of the cult drew their weapons. After the sound of unsheathing, the bright swords reflected the light from the glass sky.
Tullius just raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him drew their swords uniformly, and the crossbowmen among the swordsmen also raised their crossbows.
At this moment, a new flag appeared from the portal.
That's the flag of another Catalan legion.
Tullius exclaimed: "Second Legion! Your Majesty is determined to capture the floating city this time!"

Erzam suddenly said: "Something's wrong."
Because there were no living people around at this time, the king asked: "What's wrong?"
"These undead creatures have a affiliation with me. I can call upon their vision, do you understand? Through their vision, I found that there were suddenly more people in the legion?"
Wang frowned: "Then look at whether the armor of these many people is different from the original legionnaires. Maybe this is another legion."
"Ah? Can you tell from this? It makes sense. Are you really smart?"
No, no, it’s obviously strange that you haven’t thought of this before, right?
Elzam: "It is indeed another legion, and I also saw different flags."
Wang: "Isn't it possible that Catalonia came here just for the floating city and that they are going to put all their efforts into it?"
Elzam: "It can only be a floating city. After all, this country called Frank Principality is not worth a big downstream country investing so much. Unless Catalonia is planning to use Frank Principality as a springboard to invade Monrovia."
"
Wang shook his head: "It's unlikely. Catalan is too far from Monrovia, and it's against the current. River transportation is inherently slow and logistically inconvenient. They should have come just for the floating city."
Elzam: "You really have a hot potato. What should you do? With two legions, it will be difficult to push forward with undead creatures. The most important thing is, I don't know if there will be a third legion."
Come join in.”
Wang added: "Although Catalonia seems to be the home of the religious order now, it was originally a formal church with a righteous god, with a cardinal sitting in charge."
Elzam: "This is difficult to handle..."
King: "It doesn't matter how many people they come, just close the portal. Once the door is closed, the rest are just prisoners."
Elzam: "But now my undead army probably won't be able to close the door."
