Through the heavy fog, Rhodes rode Frigoste and rushed to the top of Duncan Hof Castle.
However, the evil aura exuded by the oncoming undead giant tower made the frost dragon even a little afraid.
On the high tower, there seemed to be some powerful ancient ritual going on. Rhodes could feel the breath of death approaching and growing every moment. It was like poisonous vines in a nightmare, entangling the living people bit by bit.
throat.
A blood-red swirling cloud emerged over the castle, followed by countless bloodthirsty and savage undead bats.
Rhodes knew that Frigoste could get rid of them or even kill them all.
However, that would be too risky.
A storm was brewing in the air. When the dragon carried Rhodes through the thick blood-colored clouds, Rhodes could clearly feel the breath of life draining from his body.
Frigoste also felt the same pain, and the dragon let out a low roar.
Passing rapidly over the castle.
Below, a bloody smoke cloud is rising.
The wizard's spell transformed the ceremonial platform into a wall of bones.
Then, a drop of cold raindrops fell on Rhodes' face. Rhodes reached out to touch it. It was not an ordinary raindrop, but a rain of blood...
A moment later, more blood rain fell from the strange dense dark clouds, as if a huge hole had been torn open in the sky, pouring the blood of countless demons into the world.
The pouring rain completely enveloped Duncanhof Castle. Along with the screams of the undead, the entire Duncanhof Castle turned into a bloody castle in less than half an hour, and the undead soldiers shrouded in the bloody rain were all enjoying themselves.
Dripping, like a new life...
The horrifying sound of the death knell sounded from the tower on the top floor of the castle. At this moment, Rhodes seemed to have seen the scene before the end.
In the panic, a huge crossbow shot from the mist, almost hitting Frigoste's wing.
The giant frost dragon roared and was about to swoop down to hunt down the undead soldiers on the tower. However, it was stopped by Rhodes in time.
As a battlefield commander, Rhodes knows when to do what he should and when not to do. It is especially important to stay awake.
Frigost can kill the soldiers on those ballistas, but this dive is likely to encounter other attacks. Duncanhof Castle in the rain of blood is like a bloodthirsty monster, and those dark towers can be attacked at any time.
It would shoot deadly black arrows. Rhodes didn't want to take the risk and drove Frigoste to turn around in mid-air.
The giant dragon roared and reluctantly turned its head in the air and escaped into the darkness again.
The sporadic sound of crossbow arrow firing was left behind.
When he looked back at the ground at his feet again, Rhodes discovered that the Kislev Army had completely surrounded Duncanhof Castle. Thick crowds of people stormed the castle gates from four directions. However, Duncanhof Castle was surrounded by blood rain.
Standing still under the continuous attacks...
The battle line didn't even get past the castle gate.
The number of soldiers falling at the gate of the castle continued to increase. The scene in front of him reminded Rhodes of the tragedy of the first siege. If the castle could not be conquered in a short time, the dead soldiers would become puppets of vampires and necromancers.
Even one second he was a warrior of Kislev, and the next second he was pulled up by a vampire and became an undead warrior...
We can’t waste it like this anymore!
On the back of the dragon, Rhodes made a prompt decision.
The dragon carried the knight and swooped down, not in the direction of the enemy, but in the direction of his own crowd.
"Stop attacking!"
After a while, loud roars rang out from the crowd.
That was the order of the Great Lord of the Northern Territory of Kislev.
"retreat!"
"This is the order of the great lord!"
The shouts of heralds began to be heard from the legion.
Around the castle, which was originally surrounded by water, the crowds gradually receded.
…
"Who told me what happened in the city?"
"Why is there no sound of gunfire?"
On the top of the mountain, the dwarf lord Prince Stonehammer anxiously asked the Kislev guards around him.
But like the dwarves, these human warriors also don't know the fighting situation in the city.
Only Caroline silently took out the telescope, which was given to her by Rhodes before the war and was made by Major Wade, the great engineer of Dulong City in the north.
Through the telescope, Caroline discovered that a large number of Kislev soldiers were retreating. The buildings in the city were still burning, but the artillery troops also gave up the siege. The smoke gradually dissipated. The crowds around Duncanhof Castle were in chaos and order.
surge in time.
"They are retreating."
Taking off the telescope, Caroline said coldly.
"Why?"
"Failed again?"
The dwarf prince looked shocked and looked at the Frost Witch in front of him in disbelief.
He suspected that Caroline was joking... However, as the dean of Kislev Magic Academy, Caroline never joked. At least Prince Stonehammer never heard her joke since he met her.
"Please tell me, noble lady, why did Rhodes withdraw his troops again? We have clearly set fire to that city... just a little bit..."
"Rhodes naturally has his reasons for withdrawing his troops. If you want to know, go down and ask him yourself."
Caroline coldly interrupted the dwarf's repeated questions.
"I……"
"How do I get down?"
"I'm going down now. When I get to the city, they've already evacuated them all!"
The dwarfs were mumbling behind them, but the Frost Witches, led by Caroline, walked down the hill in an orderly manner. Their mission was completed, guarding the dwarf artillery on the top of the hill until they fired the last flame cannonball in their hands.
A few hours later, when Prince Shichui led a group of his heroes to the military camp, the expected welcoming scene did not happen. Instead, there were tired soldiers and the wounded who were constantly being transported back.
Moans and screams continued to sound in the camp, and a sad atmosphere filled the air. Prince Stone Hammer felt an ominous premonition, and finally, the moment he saw Rhodes, the premonition became a reality.
They first saw the worried-looking Kislev commander Rhodes, and then saw the fallen knight in the camp with blood on his face and dull eyes - Talinnam.
The dwarves recognized the Western knight traveling with Essek at first sight. But why didn't they see Essek himself?
Prince Shichui asked anxiously.
"he died."
The wandering knight's brief reply was like a bolt from the blue. The dwarves had prepared beer to celebrate the victory, but at this moment, everyone was in a heavy heart and did not dare to say a word.
Although they had not been together for long, Essex Compton had already conquered these dwarves with his charisma. They originally thought that this unkempt knight only came to the territory left by his ancestors for greed of money, but in just a short time
Within a month, Essek used his actions to prove time and time again that he was the pure knight.
This was also the first time after a hundred years that the dwarves of Terfelheim Castle saw the return of human chivalry.
And now, the only remaining light of the soul has disappeared.
Prince Shichui was even more stunned on the spot.
The last lord of Terfelheim Castle died, and Essek had no heirs, so according to the contract, this castle already belonged to Prince Stonehammer.
However, at this moment, the excitement of the dwarf was not at all. Prince Stone Hammer just stood there blankly, and it took him a long time to realize that this was a fact.
