"Those undead are coming again!!!" The sentry's shrill cry resounded throughout the West Castle. This strong fortress built in the canyon has become Carreta's first line of defense against the undead! And
The endless undead battles have exhausted the soldiers of Westburg. Support from the rear has been delayed by the undead. Westburg has become an isolated island in the ocean and will be destroyed by the undead in less than ten days.
Swallowed by the huge tide.
"Hold on! Rescue will be here soon!" This is what Alan Bronze has said often recently. Even he himself has begun to doubt whether there will really be reinforcements. As Carreta's absolute main force,
The leader of the Yang-blooded Lion, he led his men to this castle located on the main traffic road four days ago, and stopped the undead army in a bloody battle. Who knew that those undead didn't care at all whether they could capture Weiss?
The special defense line, they followed a straight line, climbed from the mountains on both sides of West to their rear, not only besieged West Castle, but also blocked the supply line of the Sun Blood Lion. The food and grass in West City could not supply Lieyang at all.
The Yang-blooded Lion took too long. If the reinforcements haven't arrived tomorrow, Allen will consider giving up holding on to West City and marching into Carreta.
"You guys, hurry up and go back to the grave!" Allen roared and waved the giant ax in his hand, and a fighting spirit blade flew forward like a sickle, creating a clearing in the tide-like army of the undead.
.But just like the tide, the empty space was filled with other undead in the blink of an eye, as if the scene just now had never happened.
The north gate of West Castle has been completely sealed. The corpses of the undead are constantly piling up outside the city gate. The highest point is almost as high as the city gate! God knows why so many undead appear in Carreta. Allen bets
These undead are definitely more numerous than all the citizens of Dix combined!
The Sun Blood Lions are indeed the most elite troops that have existed in Carretta since the founding of the country. Although the soldiers were tired, they still methodically killed or repelled the undead climbing the city walls. The original city defense forces of West Castle
Acting as an auxiliary force on the side, transporting supplies and weapons to the soldiers of the Fierce Sun Blood Lion.
"Report!!! An army seems to have appeared in the south!!!" The sentry standing on the sentry tower suddenly shouted, his hoarse voice filled with excitement.
"Can you see the flag clearly?!" Allen chopped off a row of undead in front of him with an axe, and asked loudly without looking back.
"Wait! It's too far..." Although the sentry did not say which supporting army came, this also made the soldiers of the Sun Blood Lion excited, and even the movements of their hands became much stronger!
"This... can't be..." The sentry's uncertain voice made Allen's heart sink - could it be an army of the undead? This time the undead appeared inexplicably. Carretta asked Dix five times about the undead.
However, the first four messengers never returned. Only the last time, the seriously injured messenger brought back the news that the Principality of Dix had fallen. Since these undead are not controlled by the Dix people, how did they appear?
What? Allen thinks there must be a person behind these undead... No, there must be a force controlling it! Could it be that those guys were what the sentry saw?
"Damn it! Why are the Knights of the Dawn here?!" the sentry stood on the sentry tower and cursed, "Did they take advantage of our withdrawal from the front line to break into Carretta's territory?!!"
"What did you say?! Knights of the Dawn?" Allen turned around suddenly, and the loud voice made the nearby soldiers dizzy! "Impossible! See clearly!"
"No, it's them! I can see it clearly!" the sentry shouted angrily - isn't Carreta now caught in the middle of the undead and Bulano? Could these undead be the cunning cloth?
Did the Leno people release it?
As for the Knights of Dawn, Vincent led the cavalry to charge forward. In front of them was a small group of undead wandering around.
"Holy Light!" Vincent raised his sword high and pointed forward. All the Paladins in the army who could use Holy Light burst out with dazzling Holy Light. Countless sacred radiances were like a huge shock wave.
Smashed towards the oncoming army, under these holy lights, even the gaps between the bones of these miserable dark creatures were illuminated by this light, but... to everyone's expectation, they still
Go forward without any interruption.
Under the illumination of the holy light, these undead souls are naturally unscathed... Wait! Unscathed?!
"Why doesn't the holy light work?!" A knight looked at the group of undead who seemed to be just sunbathing in horror - the effect of the holy light is obvious to all, and the undead creatures bathing in the holy light all enjoyed the goddess without exception.
Brilliant glory is what it is, and these guys in front of them almost slapped everyone's "common sense" in the face. A moment's hesitation made the knight's mount slow down, and his teammates behind him were also
Forced to rein in the horse, the entire charge formation suddenly became chaotic!
However, Vincent continued to charge calmly. When the undead were still three meters away from him, he shouted loudly! The big sword turned into a flash of light and passed through the undead's body, and suddenly skulls flew out from their bodies.
, and their headless bodies slowly fell to the ground.
"Don't be afraid! The opponent is still a fragile undead! Knights! Charge with me!" Following Vincent's movements and his shouts, the cavalry regrouped and charged again! Without relying on the Holy Light, they just used the weapons in their hands.
Spears, the knights of the Knights of the Dawn wiped out this small group of undead in this charge. While the iron hoofs of the war horses ruthlessly crushed these corpses, the knights felt a faint rise in their psychology because they could not use the holy light.
All worries were thrown away - these guys were not invincible, so there was no need to be afraid. At the same time, he secretly despised the Kaleta people who had been fighting them for a long time and now needed support.
After clearing away these undead, Vincent stopped his horse and looked at the majestic castle with the flag of the Sun Blood Lion from a distance. He knew that his old enemy was fighting bloody battles with the undead in the castle, and he came to
The purpose here is not to fight him, on the contrary, Vincent is here to support him.
The large number of undead and the fall of Dix have become a situation that the state machinery cannot sit idly by. This is also the reason why Vincent came to this land that is slightly unfamiliar to him, even if it is an enemy country that has been fighting for generations.
Reasons for not helping.
At this point, he felt in his heart the king's kindness. He was indeed a king worthy of his allegiance, but what also appeared in his mind was worries about the future.
These undead are not that powerful, but the scary thing is that they are not afraid of the Holy Light. These mindless monsters are naturally not tired, not to mention that they still have a huge number of bases - of course, this is just reported information
The news learned from the mission has now been confirmed. Dix, which fell instantly, is the best example. The scattered team encountered by the Dawn Knights is probably only an insignificant force, but it is enough to defeat the unprepared army.
Learn a bloody lesson.
He sighed slightly.
"Ha~ not bad!" A frivolous female voice sounded from behind Vincent. Vincent turned around and saw a masked woman standing behind him at some point. From her enchanting and toned body,
Judging by her appearance, she must be a beauty.
"Enemy attack?!"
After reorganizing the team, several paladins who seemed to have something to do and tried to come up to talk to Vincent were stunned for a moment when they saw the person who suddenly appeared between the teams, and then pulled out their weapons with nervous expressions, and then were stopped by Wen.
Senter raised his hand to stop it.
"Calm down, our enemies are only the undead now - Miss Victoria, please inform General Allen of our intention first, and I will lead the soldiers to clear the passage for them to evacuate."
Vincent was not surprised by her appearance, or he had known she would appear for a long time - the two often met on the battlefield. Victoria was the captain of Carretta's infiltration unit Shadowfang.
She had tried to assassinate Vincent and some of the more talented soldiers many times on the battlefield at Nuo Junction. They were old acquaintances who were so "familiar" with each other that they couldn't be more familiar with each other. She was probably the only one who dared to come and go freely in this place where the undead were everywhere.
Bar?
Vincent touched his nose and looked seriously at the girl he had been with for several years.
Most people in the Knights of the Dawn have an inexplicable fear of her. This silent assassination method is despised by these soldiers, but there is nothing they can do about it. Fortunately, Shadowfang's main target does not seem to pay too much attention.
Instead of placing it on others, it was placed on Vincent, the commander and spiritual leader, so that even today, Vincent still remembers the bloody dagger shining coldly in the dark night.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Victoria gave Vincent a no-questions-asked gesture and immediately disappeared from Vincent's sight, while Vincent continued to lead the cavalry to clean up the undead in the southern part of West.
And just when Allen rushed to the southern city wall to find out what was going on, Victoria suddenly appeared next to him! Allen subconsciously swung an ax at it, scaring her so much that she quickly retreated: "General Bronze! It's me!"
"Win Walker? What are you doing here?" Allen frowned when he found out that it was one of his own, "Did something happen to Carretta? Why did the Knights of the Dawn appear here?"
Victoria slumped her shoulders and said helplessly: "You may not believe it, but shortly after you evacuated from the front line, the king reached an armistice agreement with Brenault IV, and they sent that idiot Vincent to come over for support.
us……"
"This is nonsense!!!" Victoria covered her ears and stepped back. Allen's voice sounded like thunder on the city wall, "Isn't the king worried that that guy will take the opportunity to attack us?!"
"Okay, okay~" Victoria picked her ears and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, he is just as stupid as you, and he will definitely not do such a smart thing."
"What did you say?!" Allen's hair and beard stood on end, looking like an angry lion.
Victoria squinted her eyes, blew her mask and said with a smile: "No, you must have heard wrong. Anyway, hurry up and open the city gate and prepare to break out."
"Breakout?!" Allen's roar made Victoria retreat repeatedly, looking at the angry lion with a dead fish's eyes, "Are we going to abandon Westburg and let tens of millions of Kaleta people die in the undead army?!
"
Victoria kept rubbing her ears and said angrily: "Idiot! Don't you know that those undead have already passed Westburg and penetrated deep into the territory of Kaleta? Now the king has consolidated the defense line in Talist generation, and all civilians
We have all evacuated behind the defense line, and now you are the only one hanging out, so the king will let us come to rescue you."
Hearing Victoria's answer, Allen seemed a little embarrassed. He also knew that the undead people had not taken the right path and had already climbed over the ridge and entered the territory of Carretta, but he did not expect that there would be so many undead people climbing over the ridge...
"Anyway, hurry up and prepare for the return trip. Abandon the seriously injured people. We have to withdraw at full speed." Victoria's frivolous voice became a little serious. Allen knew that she was not joking, but those seriously injured people were life and death for him.
good brothers, abandoning them like this...
"General Bronze! Now is not the time to hesitate!" Victoria saw Allen's dilemma, and she said loudly, "Once the Sun Blood Lions evacuate, the group of undead in the north of the city will definitely capture this place as soon as possible, and then they will
They will pursue us non-stop. Although they are not fast, they will not tire! If they are slowed down because they are carrying wounded, then none of us will be able to escape!"
Allen's face was gloomy. He took a deep breath and shouted into the city: "Everyone listen to the order! Prepare to evacuate West! Let those undead sons of bitches suffer a lot before leaving! Engineer Corps
!Start the final plan immediately!”
Allen's order was immediately carried out. The soldiers in the north of the city no longer stayed behind and used all the defensive equipment! Suddenly, the city wall turned into a sea of fire! After using up all the defensive equipment, the soldiers immediately evacuated the city wall in batches.
And groups of soldiers in the city seemed to be nervously preparing something...
In just ten minutes, all the soldiers had gathered at the south gate and cleared away the debris piled inside the south gate. At this time, the undead figures had appeared on the north wall where the flames were fading.
"General Bronze!" Seeing that the soldiers were still carrying their seriously injured comrades, Victoria impatiently stopped Allen who was delivering military orders, "I didn't mean..."
"I have my own way! You don't need to worry about it, Ms. Winwalk!" Allen interrupted Victoria coldly, which made her very angry: "Huh! In this case, I can only wish you good luck! I'll talk to Shuguang first.
The knights gather together, you can figure out your own solution here!"
Allen did not stop Victoria. He leaned on the battle ax and stood on the city wall, looking coldly at the shadowy undead on the north wall of the city...
"Open the south gate!" Allen roared, and the south gate was slowly pushed open. The soldiers of the Sun Blood Lion immediately rushed out of the castle! And after the last soldier evacuated from the south gate, there was only one left on the wall.
Allen and the three archers beside him.
"Get ready!" The archer next to Allen immediately raised his bow and nocked an arrow, placed the arrow cluster wrapped in oilcloth in the brazier, lit it, and pointed it at the north of the city, "Fire!"
Whoosh! Three rockets were accurately inserted into the pile of linen that had been placed in advance. The pile of linen that had been specially soaked in kerosene immediately burned! Upon seeing this, Allen immediately evacuated with three archers, and after they left the south gate
Soon after, the fire in the city became more and more intense! Then deafening explosions came from the city of West! Along with the explosions, damaged skeletons were thrown out by the shock wave generated by the explosion and fell to the ground.
"What happened?" Vincent reined in his mount, which was frightened by the explosion, and looked in the direction of West in confusion. Victoria, who was already on the horse behind Vincent, looked in the direction of West.
During the fireworks show, I couldn't help but marvel: "That idiot Bronze is so generous! I almost forgot that West was originally a city famous for mining. What was detonated just now should be gunpowder used for mining. It looks like
It should be that all of West's inventory in the past few years has been used."
It is said that gunpowder was originally invented by the Eldar. Later, the dwarves improved the formula and greatly enhanced its power. However, it cannot be used in warfare due to various shortcomings. Now most of the time, gunpowder is a regulated civilian product and is used in mining.
It is very useful in opening mountains.
Westburg is located at the northernmost point of Kaleta, bordering the dwarves' territory. To be precise, Westburg was originally the territory of the dwarves, but those heroic little men didn't care about the land and mines.
The belly taught the Carreta people how to use gunpowder to quickly destroy rocks blocking the road. The mines near West are the most densely distributed areas in Carreta, and more than 50% of Carreta's metals are transported from here.
Domestically, this shows the scarcity of minerals in Carreta itself.
"Since General Bronze is fine, let's evacuate too." Vincent waved his sword, crushing all the undead in front of him, and at the same time ordered the cavalry behind him, "Everyone! Prepare to evacuate!"
The cavalrymen of the Dawn Knights immediately turned their horses and charged in the direction of the Sun Blood Lion.
