Standing in the square, a soldier who was closest to Baibu suddenly noticed something under his feet out of the corner of his eye. Just as he was about to look down, a huge force knocked him to the ground. A moment later, several ferocious figures pounced on him.
On his body. Blood mixed with screams. The sudden scene stunned everyone in place.
"The dead body comes back to life!"
"The devil took control of their bodies!"
"They will eat our souls!"
Wilder drew out the long sword from his waist, kicked over the flying "puppet", and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Back off! Back off! Stay away from those corpses! Form a battle formation!"
The knight who shouted the order played a key role in this chaos. The soldiers found the backbone in the battle. More and more people retreated towards the edge of the square, forming a semicircular defense line.
It might be better if their opponents were vicious bandits or pagans who believed in evil gods. However, the faces of the enemies were those who had fought hand in hand with them, which gradually made the soldiers fall into a bitter battle.
.
A middle-aged soldier looked at the pale-faced infected person walking towards him slowly with tears streaming down his face. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground blankly. He opened his arms in despair and said: "Towards my only one."
My brother is wielding a weapon...I can't do it..." A few seconds later, the "puppet" knocked him down, and the flame of a candle of life was extinguished.
The combatants on the front line looked at the appearance of the enemy on the opposite side and either gave up resistance or turned around and ran away. Fewer and fewer people were able to muster the courage to launch an attack.
And those fallen soldiers soon became the new "puppet" under the control of the "Hive", and the numerical ratio between the enemy and ourselves was balanced bit by bit, and even changed in the opposite direction.
"Damn! You idiots! Idiots! These guys on the other side are no longer our comrades, they are enemies! Raise your..." Wilder swung his sword and chopped off the head of an infected person, just as he was thinking
When he was looking for the next target to attack, the figure walking towards him in his field of vision made him stop talking and pause: "...Sir Adams...sir..."
Watching the "puppet" who was once the commander of the castle, walking towards his friend step by step, Alfonso yelled anxiously, but his weapon was firmly grasped by three or four enemies, unable to move.
The situation on the battlefield is getting worse and worse.
At this time, Todd pulled Karin to stand on the high platform of the square, took off his cloak and lowered his hood. The priest's robe was particularly conspicuous in the firelight. He held the cross high and shouted loudly to the soldiers:
"Almighty Heavenly Father! We are gathered together in your name. Please free us from the evil trap and let the sword and fire redeem the souls of these fallen ones! Amen!"
A soldier immediately recognized the identity of the prayer: "It's Father Todd!"
"The Son is coming!"
"The Lord has come to save us!"
"Father above! Let the Holy Light save the souls of our brothers!"
The long sword was swung out, the axes were dancing, and heads flew into the air one after another.
The battle situation was quickly brought under control, and the "puppet" were quickly surrounded and eliminated until every last one was left.
Knight Wilder put down the long sword in his hand, looked at the head of Sir Adams at his feet, took a few deep breaths, and then ordered his subordinates to count the number of people. Seventeen more people lost their lives, most of them died in
In the first wave of confrontation.
Alfonso walked up to Todd and bowed his head respectfully towards the priest: "Public and private, I owe you a favor..." Todd was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice on the wall.
the words.
"Oh my God! North! North!"
The soldiers watching from a distance pointed their fingers in the direction of the mountains, trembling all over and speechless.
The two knights looked at each other, picked up their weapons, and ran up the stone steps to the city wall. The first glance towards the north made their hearts feel cold!
Torches, countless torches!
Winding along the foothills in the dark night, the direction of travel is towards the fortress at your feet!
The muscles on Wilder's face twitched several times, and he suddenly remembered something. He shouted frantically at the stunned sentry: "Ring the bell! Bastard! Ring the bell quickly! The barbarians from the north have invaded!" The bell sounded rapidly.
The sound resounded over the entire Watch Fort. The soldiers who had just recovered from the battle picked up their weapons, put on their armor, and hurriedly ran up the city wall, looking for their own positions to hold on.
Alfonso looked at the defenders who had entered the combat position, his eyes full of worry.
The number of soldiers is too small... The original garrison strength of the fortress should be about 225 people, but now it seems that even 120 people are not available. There are quite a lot of empty sections on the city wall, and it has fallen into
The embarrassing situation of being undefended.
Seeing his old friend's worry, the carefree Wilder didn't look worried at all. He patted the other party's shoulder and motioned him to look at the castle's suspension bridge facing the north.
"This castle is built on a cliff and is the only road from the north to the south. Look there, do you see it?" Wilder pointed to the huge ravine in front of the suspension bridge: "There is a natural canyon there, and below it is an abyss. As long as
If the suspension bridge is not lowered, no matter how many barbarians there are, they will not be able to get in!"
boom!
Before the proud smile faded from the bearded face, there was a deafening metal collision from the top of the fortress, causing everyone to close their eyes and cover their ears unconsciously.
Because the noise was too loud, Alfonso could only yell to Wilder: "What's going on?!"
The other party looked at the source of the sound - the winch room above the suspension bridge. His face turned pale and his lips trembled: "Someone is destroying the winch of the suspension bridge!"
————————————————
Alfonso ran at the front, closely followed by Leslie, Todd and Karin. The constant sound of metal banging in his ears made him anxious and reminded him of what Wilder had just said.
"The one that controls the suspension bridge of the Keep is a room called the winch room. There are four huge winches inside, each wrapped with four iron chains. These four iron chains together pull up the fortress's suspension bridge. If all four winches are destroyed, then
The castle's drawbridge will be completely lowered and a bridge will be built over the ravine. The barbarians from the north will be able to follow this bridge and enter the Watch Keep. At that time, everything will be over..."
A harsh breaking sound made everyone's ears tighten, and the first chain broke.
"Hurry up!" Alfonso carried the big sword on his back and waved to the people behind him.
Running along the city wall towards the source of the sound, Todd began to make a complete analysis of the entire incident in his mind.
This small town infection attack looks like a terrorist attack on residents, but it is actually a well-planned invasion war.
First, they used parasites to cause chaos in the town and weakened the forces of the Watch Fortress; then they used the "puppet" gathered at the southern gate to attract the attention of the guards; then they changed the control objects and ordered the corpses of the defenders in the castle
Attack the remaining defenders; finally, they take advantage of the gap in the fighting in the fort to sneak into the winch room, cut off the iron chains, lower the drawbridge, and allow the barbarians from the north to enter the fort.
Just when I thought of this, there was another harsh cracking sound in the distance, making everyone realize something.
