It was silent late at night in Beishi Fortress. The guard squatted at the door of the weapons depot, counting the stars in the sky out of boredom. He could still hear the snoring of the captain next to him in his ears.
"This is a bad job."
The soldier picked up a stone and threw it into the distance. Watching the stone streak across the night sky, he suddenly noticed a strange flow in the air. It looked like a layer of transparent mist, solidifying in front of him.
"How can it be foggy in this season?" The unaware guard took a second look at the fog, and was about to take a few steps forward. The next second, the blade behind him, with the sound of wind, pierced out from the void and cut open.
down his throat.
Before he could let out a scream, a large amount of blood splashed everywhere like a fountain. The soldier felt that all the strength in his body was drained away in an instant, and the darkness in front of him became heavier and heavier.
The detective-type alien, shrouded in black robes, released the powers of mimicry and invisibility, picked up the soldier's body, and hid it in a dark corner. A wooden box was placed at the door of the weapons depot, and the wooden board was lifted.
, it was obviously filled with explosives.
Ten minutes later, a deafening explosion, accompanied by a ball of flames soaring into the sky, announced that the chaos of the Battle of Beishi had officially begun.
In the camp of the Muxi Knights, Cumberland put on his armor and loudly conveyed orders to his subordinates. When he saw Todd standing in front of him in military uniform, the old man frowned: "General Commander, tonight's battle will be held.
You don’t need to participate.”
Todd shook his head and said, "As you said during the day, a brave and capable commander should be able to be seen by the soldiers at any time."
Cumberland sighed, turned to Huggins' successor cavalry team and ordered: "Your troops will serve as a reserve force and stay with the commander of the regiment, and protect the commander at all costs!"
Looking at this troop that had just returned the monks and books to Duxi Town and rushed back to join the battle, Todd had no intention of objecting to Cumberland's decision, but in the darkness, he slightly counted the number of the Heir Cavalry Team.
, but it seems that there is one more person?
In the North Stone Fortress, Earl Hewlett, who was awakened by the explosion, hurriedly got dressed, came to the hall and grabbed a messenger and asked: "What's going on?! Has the enemy attacked the city?"
The messenger said with a mournful face: "Sir, the enemy did not attack the city, but those barbarians..."
"What happened to those people? Tell me!"
"They rebelled!"
Hewlett angrily slapped the messenger: "Nonsense! I have deployed heavy troops around the barbarian camp. They only have a few people, no weapons and no armor, how can they rebel?!"
The messenger covered his red cheeks with one hand and pointed to the flames outside the door: "Sir, it's not just the barbarian soldiers who are rebelling! There are also thousands of barbarian slaves. They have opened the door of the weapons depot and are now attacking the fortress.
The gate of the city!"
Earl Hewlett's face turned pale and he stayed where he was.
In the fortress, in the camp where the mercenary group was massacred, the leader Tim was sitting on the steps, listening to the shouts of killing in the fortress and remaining silent.
His men shouted anxiously: "Boss, those barbarians are about to break through the inner city gate. Should we go to support the count now?"
Tim stood up, picked up the axe, and spat on the ground: "Notify everyone, let everyone prepare their weapons, and we will attack the silver warehouse of North Stone Fortress."
What?!
The soldiers of the mercenary regiment opened their eyes wide when they heard the regiment leader's order, and all cast surprised glances.
"Boss, attack the bank?! Did you make a mistake?"
Tim laughed: "That Earl, do you really think I'm an idiot? He can use the barbarian army to consume the enemy's strength today, and tomorrow in order to preserve his strength, he will also let us die! Therefore, we should also do something for ourselves
Planned."
The barbarian army obtained a large number of armors and weapons from the arsenal. With these tools of war, even the weakest children and the youngest women in the tribe had the courage to fight the enemy head-on. Because the fear of war
Desire and the maintenance of the tribe are the honor that naturally flows in the veins of these barbarians.
This force of nearly 1,300 people caught the fortress defenders off guard. After half an hour of their attack, the gate of the inner city officially changed hands. A tribesman asked Boyle: "Leader, break it down."
After passing the gate of the inner city, what should we do next?"
The barbarian leader glanced at the plain outside the fortress and issued an order to the troops: "Capture the fortress's bank as soon as possible, plunder and withdraw from the fortress, and head north into the mountains!"
In this way, in this chaotic night, the fortress defenders massacred the mercenary group, and the barbarian troops fought together in the inner city. The three forces were stirred together like paint, and together they were in this painting called Beishi Fortress.
The painting depicts a chaotic and strange scene. After the Muxi Knights breached the fortress drawbridge, they encountered an unexpected enemy.
Cumberland led the troops and when passing through the main square of the fortress, a huge figure with a height of seven meters crawled out from the underground of the fortress. Under the night, the dark skin, coupled with the mutated limbs and organs, looked a bit like
The mythical ogre.
Todd stopped his horse and looked at this giant who looked like him in surprise. The mottled patterns on his skin, his two arms, one big and one small, and the head of the deceased embedded in the chest, which had been slowly assimilated by flesh and blood...
…
Todd finally remembered who this guy was.
This guy is clearly the successor mutant encountered in the Keep!
But compared to Frankenstein, which was made up of pieces of flesh sewn together at that time, this mutant has slowly merged the flesh and blood from different creatures together, and it looks more like a whole.
After a brief shock, the soldiers of the Muxi Knights waved their weapons and rushed towards the monster in front of them.
The mutant put its huge arm on its side, charged up the force, and then struck out violently. Five or six soldiers were knocked into the air by this attack, and then fell to the ground hard, losing their lives in an instant. The remaining people
He was so frightened by the monster's terrifying face and powerful attacks that he stopped moving forward.
"Hudgens! Take your team to defeat him!" Seeing this situation, Todd could no longer care about anything, turned around and shouted an order to the knight beside him.
Huggins looked a little hesitant: "But, my duty is to protect your safety, Lord Todd!"
Todd moved his body closer to Huggins: "This is the commander's order! If we continue to fight like this, the losses of the Muxi Knights will expand to an unacceptable level! Listen, Huggins can defeat
Those who are successors are only successors!”
The knight looked at the huge monster in front of him, thought for a moment, and finally nodded towards Todd, leading the successor cavalry team to meet it.
The existence of the dragon bone gives the aces of the Muxi Knights superhuman strength, agility and speed, and superpowers such as regeneration and metal skin give them the basis for battlefield survival.
The thirteen successors circled the huge mutant, using their speed and strength to defeat the latter.
Just when Todd thought the situation was settled, a vision happened.
The mutant knelt on the ground, with a huge bulge bulging on his back, and a strong concussion sound emitted from it. As roar after roar resounded on the battlefield, dozens of chilling monsters emerged from the underground of the fortress.
biology.
Perhaps using the word biological to describe it may not be accurate.
They are like a pile of dead bodies, old people, children, women, soldiers. These long-dead people, naked and naked, were sucked into a huge pile of flesh, digested, and transformed.
Became mutants composed of corpses.
Cumberland turned pale, took out the cross on his chest, made the sign of the Holy Cross, and shouted to his men: "We are the army of Heavenly Father, the vanguard of heaven! These evil things will meet in the face of the supreme holy light.
, they are just a group of fragile puppets! Throw out all the remaining Holy Thunder!"
Listening to the explosion in his ears, Todd squeezed the reins tightly in his hands, his palms full of sweat. While he was thinking about countermeasures, a burst of black smoke slowly floated in front of him.
Todd's natural vigilance and high level of nervousness allow Todd to react extremely quickly to the scenes in front of him.
When a hand reached out from the black smoke and attacked Todd, he slipped from his horse and barely escaped the attack.
"Long time no see, Lord Todd..." The black mist slowly condensed into a human shape, and the throat bone stood in front of the horse, looking at the people on the ground with a smile: "Your achievements and progress really impressed me. Now I really
I somewhat believe that the so-called Holy Son said it."
Todd stood up from the ground and looked at the man with cold eyes: "I never thought that I would meet you here. What is the purpose of the Relief Society here?"
Throat Bone looked back at the mutants and the group of corpses, and said: "Relief society? I believe that the word scavenging should be more accurate."
The man looked at Huggins and discovered the situation here. The latter had already turned his horse and rushed towards him. He turned back to Todd and said: "Speaking of which, Lord Todd has not been to our place since the last time we were separated.
I’m a guest. Why don’t you come with me again this time?”
Todd took a half step back, his eyes full of warning: "What if I don't agree?"
Throat Bone took out a twenty centimeter long dagger from his arms, held the handle of the sword with two fingers, stabbed towards Todd, and said in his mouth: "Then I have to let you lie down first."
Todd looked at the sword blade that was slowly enlarging in his eyes. In fear, his body wanted to move, but his feet were rooted, and he couldn't do it. At this critical moment, a dagger shot out of the air,
The dagger held firmly against his throat.
A woman with black hair and black eyes released her mimicry and invisibility, and stood in front of Todd.
Looking at this familiar figure, Todd exclaimed: "Karin? Why are you here?!"
"Someone warned us two days ago that the Relief Society is here. My sister asked me to follow Uncle Huggins to the battlefield to protect you."
Seeing the knight's horse getting closer and closer to him, he knew that the best opportunity had passed. He smiled and retracted his dagger and shrugged: "Sir Todd, there should be some misunderstandings between us. But it doesn't matter.
I believe we can meet again soon."
After saying this, Throatbone put his hand to his mouth and blew a whistle. The mutants and the corpses slowly left the battlefield and disappeared outside the gate of the fortress.
"Sir Todd, please don't forget our identities. We are all different species, and sooner or later we will have a common enemy." The throat bone turned into a black mist and dispersed in the dark night.
Watching Cumberland organizing people to rescue the wounded, and Huggins leading the team to clean up the war, Todd looked at the rising sun slowly rising in the east and sat down on the ground, fatigue and worry coming over him like a tide.
Starting today, Beishi Fortress ends the kingdom's centuries-long occupation and is officially included in the territory of Muxi Town.
