"What's going on? To what extent has the defense collapsed? Where are my grandfather and my uncle? Are they okay?" Sophia Liya rushed in, with worry that could not be concealed on her calm face.
What she had just received was only a rough message, and she was not particularly clear about the overall situation of the Broken Vein Defense Line.
"The Golden Eagle has just picked up the Shadow Leopard and the energy clone and is on its way to the Blood Castle." Sean's expression was also deep and solemn. "The Blood Castle is now completely shrouded in the undead canopy. After the ordinary sentry went in, there was no news. Inside
The situation is currently unknown.”
"Is it the living dead led by that bitch Narentoya who did this?" Sophilia gritted her teeth.
"I'm sorry." Sean said angrily, "I made a mistake in this matter. I didn't expect that Ulan Baz would be so unscrupulous and push his empire into the abyss of eternal destruction. Although I don't know how they did it, there is one thing.
It is certain that the power of death will never be borrowed so easily.
Don’t worry too much. The orc army from the Theodin Empire has not yet poured in from the breach, which means that they have not completely grasped the situation. The Grand Duke and the others are still holding on, waiting for our rescue. The Grand Duke and the others are not without any fight back.
With their strength, they also have a guardian battle flag with sufficient energy."
A year ago, Sean had completely absorbed the Strachey family's battle artifact, the Guardian Flag, and completed the repair.
Just as Sean speculated at the beginning, the guardian battle flag only has a damaged energy storage function and cannot store a large amount of spell energy.
Without sufficient energy, the magical effects of battle artifacts will naturally not be exerted.
If you want to imitate the guardian battle flag, it is not possible according to the current manufacturing technology of the Eternal Night Army, but it is still no problem to tinker with the original one.
At the beginning, Sean had the idea of dropping the guardian flag.
It's just that plans don't change quickly.
First, he easily obtained the Spear of the Ancestral Spirit from his ancestors, and then built his own energy reactor.
He even created his own Heroic Soul Battle Flag. Although it cannot be called a replica of the Guardian Battle Flag, some of its functions are still borrowed from the Guardian Battle Flag.
The demand for the guardian flag has dropped significantly. There is no need to destroy the alliance between the two parties just because of a small profit.
"I will order the Knights of the Iron Rose to assemble now."
Sean's comforting effect didn't work.
"Instead of gathering the Knights of the Steel Rose, it is better to prepare military supplies as much as possible. If the initiator of this incident is the living dead led by Narentoya, there must be some enemies among them who cannot be measured by common sense. The Knights of the Steel Rose do not
With experience in dealing with them, it’s easy to suffer big losses.”
Sean said solemnly, "I have ordered the three legions of Guards, Skull Crusher, and Ancestral Spirits to assemble in New Bressan. They will come via waterway in the near future. When the time comes, they will go into battle lightly and reinforce under the starry night. The slowest use will be made.
In less than two weeks, we can reach the Blood Castle."
"The Knights of the Steel Rose need to assemble when they have to." Sophilia said murderously, "Departing from the Iron Castle, it is not a smooth road to the Blood Castle. We also need to pass through Patlem's territory. We must sweep the area in advance.
Clear obstacles.”
"That's fine." Sean nodded, knowing that at this time, it was impossible for Sophia Liya to do nothing.
At the same time, I mourned three seconds of silence for Patram in my heart.
If Patram is smart enough, he can honestly lend them a way and let their army go to the Blood Castle to rescue them.
If he makes a mistake at this time, the furious Sophilia will definitely let him know the true origin of the nickname Iron Princess.
Not only the leader of Yongye Army is dispatching troops and generals, preparing to rush to the aid of Blood Castle.
The New Royal Army of the New Royal Court also had to suspend its military operations against the Conclave of Witches, and the army began to move towards the broken line of defense. After preventing the broken line of defense from completely collapsing, the Theodin Empire's orc army swept across the entire plains of Asia Minor.
The collapse of the Broken Vein Defense Line has alleviated the crisis of the Witch Conclave in disguise, giving them more space to move.
All eyes were focused on the Broken Vein Defense Line and the Broken Mouth Blood Fortress.
Mastering the information here has become a top priority.
In this area, there is no doubt that the Yongye Army Leader has an absolute advantage.
Not only because Sean has a unique reconnaissance unit like the Thundering Golden Eagle in his hands, but also because they have just had a small-scale battle with the Undead Empire. Just from the fact that the Broken Vein Blood Castle is obscured by thick gray fog, it can be inferred that the Undead Empire
Important information about the Empire's involvement in this war.
The other forces were completely clueless and kept sending people into the gray fog.
Although the broken line of defense has not completely collapsed, the situation is not optimistic either.
The Broken Vein Defense Line is a whole, especially the Broken Vein Blood Fort, which is the key point on this whole. Once a crisis occurs in other areas, this key point will dispatch troops to support it.
It gives people the illusion that the troops here are endless and invincible.
Especially when the Broken Vein Defense Line has the best cavalry in the world, the Broken Vein Blood Cavalry, any decision made by the attackers needs to be prudent and prudent.
The last time the East Odin Empire went south, it fully confirmed this point.
With three or four times the strength of the Broken Veins Defense Line, they simply did not take the next step south.
Now, the key point of the Duanmai defense line is the Duanmai Blood Castle, which is shrouded in a gray fog and completely cut off from contact.
The news inside could not be transmitted, and the messengers and mountain eagles sent outside completely lost contact once they entered the area shrouded in gray fog.
But at this time, the East Odin Empire launched a full-scale attack on the Broken Vein Defense Line.
Those Odin orcs who were in ragged clothes, with sallow faces and skinny muscles, and many of whom had even lost their mounts, did not need the urging and supervision of the war supervisors at all. They screamed and rushed towards the broken line of defense, facing the arrow rain on the city wall and the raging black gunpowder.
The crossbow shows no fear.
He fights day and night without retreating until he has exhausted his last bit of strength and his last bit of life.
Because this time they are not fighting for glory or wealth, but for their own life and death, for the survival of their families and the continuation of their tribe.
Only by breaking through this damn line of defense can they obtain the food to survive this winter. Otherwise, they will be like last year's livestock, falling down in large tracts from hunger and cold and never getting up again.
On the broken line of defense, there were fierce battles everywhere.
The broken-line soldiers stationed here are not unequally equipped, their supplies are not insufficient, and their soldiers are not unheroic.
But without a steady stream of follow-up supplies, equipment will always be damaged, supplies will always be exhausted, and soldiers will always fall into fatigue.
The various new equipment provided by the Yongye Army Leader to the Broken Vein Defense Line have greatly improved their combat effectiveness, but they have also brought them corresponding fatal flaws - they have great requirements for logistical supplies.
Once the logistical supplies cannot keep up, they will be immediately knocked back to their original shape.
When Sean's thundering golden eagle arrived, the entire Broken Vein defense line was filled with smoke. It was obvious that the fierce battle had not lasted for more than a day or two. Those medium and large castles were still scrimping on supplies, supporting themselves from falling, and supporting the surrounding defense lines.
.
However, some relatively isolated small and medium-sized fortresses have reached the point where they are running out of ammunition and food. The soldiers there rely solely on their own passion and flesh and blood to support themselves and fight for the last time.
Before arriving at the Broken Blood Castle, the Thundering Golden Eagle met General Pedro first. The Broken Blood Cavalry Right Army led by him was not trapped in the Broken Blood Castle and acted as the last firefighting team.
Run west.
But a single tree cannot support itself, and it is difficult for him to cover the entire Broken Vein defense line with only his thousands of Broken Vein Blood Riders.
"Golden Eagle, look, it's a Golden Eagle. Princess Sophie's husband, Mr. Sean, is here."
"This means that our information has been sent. Now His Majesty can be saved, and our broken line of defense can be saved."
"What's the use of just one person coming here? The reinforcements are thousands of miles away. It will take weeks at best to come up. By then, those brutal orcs will have already trampled our defense line to pieces.
Already."
"It's better to have hope than to have no hope at all."
Those Broken Blood Riders recognized the identity of the Thundering Golden Eagle at a glance.
Although Sean is not a frequent visitor here, due to the close cooperation between the two parties, especially with General Arnold returning to the Broken Vein Defense Line, he not only brought back the martial arts routines and combat skill system, but also brought back a series of stories about Sean
, including his soul beast as a clone.
In addition, as a mountain man, he led the Andis people to rise, established the Eternal Night Army, and married a series of deeds such as Princess Sophia, the brightest pearl of the Byron Alliance. It is really more fantastic than a knight novel.
She is the object of desire for countless men.
It is no exaggeration to say that Sean is a man living in legend.
"Take me to see your general." When he saw the first wave of broken blood knights, Sean immediately threw down the energy clone.
Before entering the Broken Vein Blood Castle, it is better to have as much information as possible on the Broken Vein Defense Line than to rush in blindly without knowing anything.
"Sir Sean, please come with me." An officer from the Broken Pulse Blood Cavalry led the way without hesitation.
Along the way, the broken-blooded knights that Sean saw were covered with strong traces of fighting, and their resolute faces showed exhaustion that could not be concealed.
When he saw General Pedro, Sean couldn't help but be surprised and said, "When did the general enter a period of decline? The last time I saw the general, the general was still full of energy. There was no problem in fighting for another twenty or thirty years. Why?
Has it declined so much in a short period of time?”
This old general, who had spent his entire life in the military and had a prominent reputation as a tearer among the Odin orcs, no longer looked like an unsheathed sword when sitting or lying down, but was half-lying on the bed.
His hair was completely gray, and his body was as short as a bear's. He had lost three or four laps of weight. Although he was not skinny, his skin was loose and clinging to his body, with wrinkles everywhere, giving him a feeling of age.
An abnormally thick deathly aura overflowed from his body.
Regardless of whether it is a great knight or a champion knight, once they enter the period of decline, the time that has stagnated on them will come back to them in a very short period of time.
But there is still a buffer of more than ten years, and General Pedro's situation is a little too fast.
A guess came to Sean's mind involuntarily: "No, this is not a normal decline of energy, this is the breath of shadow. Could it be that the general was assassinated by the undead? Was he hit by their spell?"
General Pedro's eyes flashed with relief, and he struggled to sit up and said, "I knew you, boy, would be the first to arrive, ahem... This time we were careless and ignored you.
They repeatedly warned, underestimated Naren Toya, underestimated the group of living dead they led, cough cough... cough cough... I didn't expect that they would use the method of turning the people around us into the living dead to treat us...
…
Ahem, I was accidentally cursed during the sneak attack on us. At first, I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect this curse to be so vicious...
I feel... ahem... I feel like there is a monster living in my body, which is devouring my life and energy. Sometimes I feel that my body and thoughts do not belong to me... Will I make any concessions?
The brothers' decision is irreversible... That boy Arnold said that you have extraordinary research in magic, is there anything you can do about it?"
When talking about the latter part, this old general who was indomitable and talked and laughed happily even when facing enemies dozens of times his own, his old cheeks twitched involuntarily, and there was unconcealable fear deep in his eyes.
General Pedro is not afraid of death. What scares him is that after his death, his body and soul are no longer his, causing harm to the soldiers who once followed him, and even sending them into the abyss of eternal destruction.
.
"Shadow Seed." Sean spit out the name with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
Seed of Shadow, also known as Seed of Nightmare and Seed of Evil Thoughts, as the name suggests, is the seed of shadow creatures.
Compared with energy bodies such as Twisted Nightmare, the nature of the Shadow Seed is somewhat different. It cannot exist alone for a long time. Whether it is in the plane or the shadow plane, it is more like a parasite.
Must be parasitic in the body of a living organism.
Then the parasite's body and soul are used as an incubator until it grows to maturity, and then breaks out of the shell, and a brand new twisted nightmare is born.
In the process of their incubation, the shadow seeds will slowly erode the host's soul and body, making them slowly no longer themselves, doing many crazy things, making their reason regret and crazy things, thus speeding up their souls.
Collapse speed, thus speeding up the swallowing and hatching speed.
The firmer the host's will and the stronger the soul, the less likely it is to be eroded by shadow seeds. General Pedro is undoubtedly the best among them.
On the contrary, the more fattening this shadow seed absorbs during its growth, the more abundant it will be. Once it is successfully hatched, the twisted nightmare it will form will naturally become more terrifying and powerful. Those multi-eyed spiders at the mini-BOSS level will
