Chapter 474: The Skeleton Breaking Out of the Ground
Chapter 474 Skeletons emerging from the ground
The crow on Colinal's shoulder screamed and flew towards the narrow valley in the distance.
The howling wind was in my ears, the air was cold and biting, and the breath of the men and horses evaporated into white smoke in the air. The sky was gray, and the scene in front of me was like a gray and white painting.
"Don't stop, we must keep moving forward, those vampires are here. I want to catch them, kill them, and burn them to ashes!"
Colinal roared, and he squinted his eyes and looked ahead, where there was a canyon that was like a line of sky. The heavy snow crushed the branches, making a loud crashing sound. It was like a flood that burst a bank.
"But there is no light ahead."
The Northern Knights complained. They had been tracking the vampires for more than ten days, but these monsters seemed to be running in circles with them, teasing them, taking advantage of their almost endless strength and endurance.
"Have you ever seen any vampire who can use fire? The night is their main battlefield. I have been fighting these monsters all my life. I know their characteristics. I know where they will go."
Colinar roared, his scythe almost bursting into flames.
"You have been fighting monsters all your life, and so have I! This is the North, not the empire. I understand the climate here, the environment here, and the plants and trees here. I grew up here, and I also fought with the beastmen here.
The undead have fought!”
The Northern Knight was irritated by Pastor Moore's bad temper. He stood up straight and did not give in at all. At the critical moment, Daft arrived and asked someone to separate the two of them first.
"Brother, we are all comrades who share life and death. There is no need to fight over such trivial matters. Colinal, your temper is a bit grumpy. What we know and the experience we have does not mean that
Others have it and have experienced it too. You must be patient and at least pay attention to your tone."
Daft turned around and grabbed his colleagues and said. He had preached and fought in this land. He knew the character of the people here. They did not allow anyone to disrespect them, let alone trample on them.
dignity.
"There are footprints!"
Just as the two were arguing with each other, the cavalrymen discovered the footprints in the valley. Those footprints were left in the latent snow. Although they were blurred by the wind and snow, the footprints of some large beasts were still vaguely discernible.
Colinal immediately ran over with long strides, and all his equipment jingled. Hidden in the thick package were all kinds of weird alchemical potions, which were his weapons against vampires.
"I told you, they're here."
"So what if we are here? Those monsters are not afraid of the cold, but we are humans and we are afraid of extreme cold weather."
"Hmph, a northerner actually said that he is afraid of the cold."
Even though it was proven that the vampire was in front, the quarrel between the two still persisted. As a last resort, Daft could only let Colinar lead a small group of people as the vanguard to advance first, while the others would move forward slowly and rest enough before setting off.
A few hours later, Colinal and a group of black-robed guards came to a valley. Surrounded by the howling cold wind, the snowflakes became more dense, and the bodies of the black-robed guards were dyed white by the snowflakes. They hid their faces in the
Under the black hood, only a pair of eyes were exposed, staring at the surroundings.
"Something's wrong."
Colinal made a stop gesture in front. He could feel that he smelled the uneasy smell in the air like a lynx. It was the smell of rot and withering.
Not far away, a gloomy hand of bones stretched out from the snow, supported the ground with its fingers like dead branches, and lifted half of its body up from the snow.
"It's the undead!"
someone in the crowd shouted.
Looking in the direction of the guard's shout, Colinal saw that it was an undead that had been forcibly summoned. All its flesh and blood had rotted away, leaving only the white bones all over its body. The white bones made up its body.
The broken body staggered towards the group of living people.
Moreover, it's not just one... More and more skeleton corpses are crawling out of the ground. Some of them are still wearing the armor and clothing they were wearing when they were alive, and they are holding the rusty weapons and rotten shields in their hands.
"This was once an ancient battlefield!"
Colinal used this to judge. However, it is already difficult to get out. Obviously, this is a trap of the undead. Skeleton zombies have no consciousness, but the vampires who summon and control them do. Not only do they have self-awareness, but they also have powerful intelligence.
biology.
Colinar only felt that he had underestimated his opponent. The vampires of Kislev were no weaker than the vampires of the empire. In fact, due to the prevailing wind of death in the northern kingdom, the power that the vampires could use was even more powerful.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of undead creatures appeared around the team, and some were even dead Kislev knights. Together with their skeleton horses, they climbed up from the snow. Under their thick iron helmets,
, is a pair of blood-red eyes.
"Defensive formation!"
Colinal shouted.
It smashed an alchemy bottle and sprinkled phosphorus powder on its weapon. The death scythe immediately ignited into blazing flames, and its eyes were extremely red in the ice and snow.
The first undead skeleton rushed up and was knocked down by Daft's bow and arrow. The arrow shot into its head. A faint light exploded from the skull zombie's head. Then, the stumbling skeleton soldier fell to the snow.
Center. The second and third skeletons fell one after another under the long-range weapons of the team members. Taking advantage of the gap between shooting, the black-robed guards quickly gathered to form a circular position. The soldiers were shoulder to shoulder, close to each other.
Not exposing their backs to the enemy. This is the only way. They can only wait until reinforcements arrive before they can hope to rush out. Fortunately, the large army will not be too far away. They can repair for a day or two at most, Colina
Er and Daft believed that with the combat power of the black-robed guards, it would not be a problem to last for a day or two.
At least, these undead are not advanced creatures.
Their movements were stiff and their speed was much slower than before.
"Let the fire purify everything!"
Colinal shouted, throwing a bottle of high-concentration concentrated oil into the crowd of skeletons, and then ignited it with a lit feather arrow. There was an explosion in the cold air, and the flames spread from the center, setting off
The air wave knocked more than a dozen skeleton soldiers to the ground. At the same time, the bodies of several skeleton zombies closest to the center of the explosion were directly blown to pieces. The shattered bones exploded into the sky and fell with the snowflakes.
However, the violent explosion did not stop these skeleton zombies from moving forward. There was no fear in their numb and dull eyes, but only absolute obedience to their vampire masters.
"I think we're in the right place!"
Under the predicament, Colinal shouted triumphantly. He was as excited as a boy in first love, and he kept swinging the weapon in his hand, cutting down one undead skeleton after another. Harvesting made him feel the pleasure of revenge.
He will never forget the tragic death of his parents at the hands of vampires. That is the pain that has enveloped his heart for a lifetime. For Colinal, the only purpose of the rest of his life is revenge and killing more vampires.
Destroy all the undead...
"I said, the situation in Kislev is much worse than we imagined. I didn't lie to you, brother!" Daft waved his longbow and swept the enemies in front of him while talking to his comrades.
"The situation Rhodes and I encountered in Kislev was much worse than it is now!"
"The Knights should fight until this country is completely liberated. I must see with my own eyes the bloody death of Catalina!"
The roars of the two men echoed in the ice and snow of the north.
