Chapter 793: One Man's Help
"What the hell is going on, to what extent has the line of defense collapsed, what about my grandfather and my uncle, is there anything wrong with them?" Sophia rushed in, her unfazed face with undisguised concern.
What she had just received was only a rough piece of news, and she was not particularly clear about the overall situation of the Broken Pulse Defense Line.
"The golden eagle has just picked up the shadow leopard and the energy clone and is on their way to the Blood Castle. Sean's expression was also deep and solemn, "The Blood Castle is now completely shrouded in the canopy of the undead, and after ordinary sentries penetrated it, there was no news at all, and the situation inside is currently unknown." ”
"Is it the good deeds of the living dead led by Naren Toya's bitch?" Sophia clucked through her teeth.
"I'm sorry. Sean said with annoyance, "I didn't expect Ulaanbari to be so unscrupulous and push his empire into the abyss of no return, although I don't know how they did it, one thing is certain, the power of death will definitely not be so easy to borrow."
Don't worry too much, the orc army of the Theodin Empire has not yet poured in from the fracture, which means that they have not yet completely grasped the situation, the Grand Duke and they are still holding on, waiting for our rescue, the Grand Duke They are not powerless, they still have the energy to protect the battle flag. ”
A year ago, Sean had already eaten the Battle Artifact Guardian Banner of the Strachage family and completed the restoration.
Just as Sean had speculated at the beginning, the Guardian Banner was only impaired in its energy storage function, and it was unable to conserve a large amount of spell energy.
Without sufficient energy, the magical effect of the battle artifact will naturally not be brought into play.
If you want to imitate the Guardian Battle Banner, according to the current manufacturing technology of the Eternal Night Commander, you can't do it, but it's still no problem to tinker with the original foundation.
At the beginning, Sean didn't have the idea of fighting the Guardian Banner.
It's just that the plan hasn't changed quickly.
First, he easily obtained the Ancestral Spirit Spear from the Old Ancestor, and then built his own energy reactor.
even created his own Heroic Soul Battle Flag, although it is not a copy version of the Guardian Battle Flag, but some of the functions in it are still borrowed from the Guardian Battle Flag.
The demand for the Guardian Battle Flag has dropped dramatically, and there is no need to spoil the alliance between the two sides because of a small profit.
"I will order the Iron Rose Knights to assemble. ”
Sean's comforting effect didn't work.
"Instead of gathering the Iron Rose Knights, it is better to prepare military supplies as much as possible, if the initiator of this incident is the living dead led by Naren Toya, there will inevitably be some enemies in it that cannot be measured by common sense, and the Iron Rose Knights have no experience in dealing with them, and it is easy to suffer a big loss. ”
Sean said solemnly, "I have ordered the three major legions of the Guard, the Skull, and the Ancestral Spirit to assemble in New Brissan, and come by water in a few days. ”
"The Iron Rose Knights should be assembled, but they must be assembled. Sophia said murderously, "Starting from the Iron Keep, it is not a smooth road to the Blood Keep, and we still need to pass through the territory of Patlem, and we must clear the obstacles in advance. ”
"It's fine. Sean nodded, knowing that at such a time, Sophia couldn't do nothing.
At the same time, there was a three-second silence in my heart for Patalem.
If Patlum is smart enough to honestly lend them the way and let their army go to the Blood Keep to rescue.
If he was stupid at this time, Sophia in a fit of rage would definitely let him know the true origin of the nickname Iron Princess.
It's not just the Eternal Night Commander who is deploying troops and preparing to rush to the aid of the Blood Castle.
The new royal court of the new royal court also had to suspend the military operation against the witches' secret meeting, and the army began to move in the direction of the broken vein defense line to prevent the broken vein defense line from completely collapsing, and the orc army of the Western Odin Empire swept across the entire plain of Asia Minor.
The collapse of the Broken Pulse Defense Line has alleviated the crisis of the Witches' Secret Society in disguise, giving them more room to maneuver.
All eyes focused on the Broken Pulse Defense Line and the Broken Blood Castle.
Getting the information here has become a top priority.
In this area, the Eternal Night Commander undoubtedly has an absolute advantage.
Not only because Sean has a unique reconnaissance unit like the Thunder Golden Eagle in his hands, but also because they have just fought a small battle with the Undead Empire, just from the fact that the Broken Vein Blood Fortress is covered by a thick gray fog, they can deduce that the Undead Empire has intervened in this war.
The other forces are still completely confused, and they keep sending people to the gray fog.
Although the Broken Pulse Defense Line has not completely collapsed, the situation is not optimistic.
The Broken Pulse Defense Line is a whole, especially the Broken Pulse Blood Fort is the key point on this whole, and once there is a crisis in other areas, this key point will dispatch troops to support.
It gives people the illusion that the forces here are endless and unbreakable.
Especially when the Broken Pulse Defense Line has the world's first cavalry Broken Pulse Blood Cavalry, any decision made by the besiegers needs to be cautious and cautious.
The last time the East Odin Empire went south, this was fully confirmed.
With three or four times the strength of the Broken Pulse Defense Line, they simply did not take the next step in the south.
Now the key point of the Broken Pulse Defense Line, the Broken Pulse Blood Fortress, was shrouded in a gray mist, and the connection was completely broken.
The news from inside could not be transmitted, and the heralds and mountain eagles sent from outside completely lost contact once they entered the gray fog-shrouded area.
At this time, the East Odin Empire launched a full-line attack on the Broken Pulse Defense Line.
Those ragged, yellow-skinned, and many Odin orcs who had lost their mounts did not need the urging and supervision of the war overseers, and rushed towards the Broken Pulse defense line with a scream, facing the rain of arrows on the city wall and the raging black powder ballista, without fear.
Day and night, fighting to the death, until the last trace of strength and the last trace of life are exhausted.
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 clansmen.
Only by breaking through this damned line of defense will they be able to get enough food to survive this winter, or else they will be like last year's livestock, in large patches, slumped in hunger and cold, and will never be able to get up again.
On the Broken Pulse Defense Line, there is fierce fighting everywhere.
The soldiers stationed here are not well-equipped, the supplies are not sufficient, and the soldiers are not heroic.
But without a steady stream of follow-up supplies, there will always be times when equipment is damaged, and when supplies are always exhausted, soldiers will always fall into exhaustion.
The various new equipment provided by the Eternal Night Commander to the Broken Pulse Defense Line has greatly improved their combat effectiveness, but it has also brought them a corresponding fatal flaw - great requirements for logistics and supplies.
As soon as the logistical supplies can't keep up, they will be immediately beaten back to their original shape.
When Sean's Thunder Golden Eagle arrived, the entire Broken Pulse Defense Line was filled with gunsmoke, and it was obvious that the battle had not been fought for a day or two, and those medium and large castles were still calculating supplies with food and clothing, supporting themselves from falling while supporting the surrounding defense lines.
However, some relatively isolated small and medium-sized fortresses have fallen to the point of running out of ammunition and food, and the soldiers there are completely relying on their own blood and their own flesh and blood, struggling to support the last time.
Before arriving at the Broken Vein Blood Castle, the Thunder Golden Eagle met General Pedro first, and the right army of the Broken Vein Blood Cavalry led by him was not trapped in the Broken Vein Blood Castle, acting as the last firefighting team, running around.
But it is difficult to support the lonely tree, and it is difficult to cover the entire broken vein defense line with only his 10,000 broken vein blood horses.
"The golden eagle, look, it's the golden eagle, it's Princess Sophie's husband, Lord Sean, has arrived. ”
"This shows that our intelligence has been delivered, and now Your Majesty has been saved, and our broken pulse defense line has been saved. ”
"What's the use of just coming alone? Reinforcements are thousands of miles away, and it will take weeks to come up at the earliest, and by that time, those brutal orcs will have already trampled our defenses. ”
"It's better to have hope than to have no hope. ”
Those Broken Pulse Blood Riders recognized the identity of the Thunder Golden Eagle at a glance.
Although Sean is not a frequent visitor here, because of the close cooperation between the two sides, especially with the return of General Arnold to the Broken Pulse 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 war beast as a doppelganger.
In addition, he led the rise of the Andes as a mountain people, established the Eternal Night Army, married Princess Sophilia, the brightest pearl of the Byron Alliance, and a series of deeds, which are really more fantastical than knights, and are the objects that countless men yearn for.
It is no exaggeration to say that Sean is a man who lives in legends.
"Take me to your general. When he saw the first wave of Broken Pulse Blood Riders, Sean threw down the energy clone as soon as possible.
Before entering the Broken Vein Blood Castle, it is much better to have as much information as possible about the Broken Vein Defense Line than to break through without knowing anything.
"Lord Sean, please come with me. An officer with a broken vein and a bloody horseman did not hesitate to lead the way in front.
Along the way, the Broken Pulse Blood Rider that Sean saw was covered with strong traces of fighting, and there was a tiredness on his resolute face.
When he saw General Pedro, Sean couldn't help but be taken aback and said, "When did the general enter a period of decline? The last time he saw the general, the general was still full of energy, and it would not be a problem to fight for another twenty or thirty years, why did he decline to this point in a short period of time?"
This old general, who has a prominent reputation as a ripper among the Orcs of Odin, no longer sits and lies like a sheathed sword, but is half-lying on the sickbed.
The hair is completely gray, and the body is as short as a bear, and it has lost weight three or four times, although it is not skinny, but the skin is loose and saggy, sticking to the body, wrinkled, and the feeling of old age is overwhelming.
An abnormally thick death aura spilled out of his body.
Whether it is a big knight or a champion knight, once they enter a period of decline, the time that has been stagnant in them will come to their door in a very short time.
But there is also a buffer of more than a decade, and General Pedro's situation is a little too fast.
A guess involuntarily surged into Sean's heart and said: "No, this is not a normal decline in essence, this is the breath of shadows, could it be that the general was assassinated by the undead?
A hint of relief flashed in General Pedro's eyes, and he struggled to sit up and said, "I knew you kid would be the first to arrive, ahem...... This time we were careless, ignoring your repeated warnings, underestimating Naren Toya, and underestimating the group of living dead led by them, ahem...... Ahem...... I didn't expect them to use the means of turning the people around us into the living dead......
Ahem, the sneak attack on us, I accidentally fell under the curse in the process, and at the beginning, I didn't take it seriously, I didn't expect this curse to be so vicious......
I feel...... Ahem...... I felt like a monster was living in my body, devouring my life and energy, and sometimes I felt like my body and thoughts didn't belong to me...... Will it be a decision that will make the brothers doomed...... Arnold, that kid said, you have extraordinary research in magic, is there anything you can do about it?"
When it came to the back, this unyielding old general, who talked and laughed even in the face of dozens of times his own enemies, his old cheeks twitched involuntarily, and there was unconcealed fear in the depths of his eyes.
General Pedro is not afraid of death, what makes him afraid is that when he dies, his body and soul will no longer be his own, bringing harm to the soldiers who once swore allegiance to him, and even substituting them into the abyss from which he will never recover.
"Seed of Shadows. Sean looked a little embarrassed and spat out a name.
The Seed of Shadows, also known as the Seed of Nightmares and the Seed of Evil Thoughts, as the name suggests, is the seed of shadow creatures.
Compared to the energy body of the 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 in the shadow plane, it is more like a parasite, and must parasitize the body of a living being.
The body and soul of the parasite are then used as incubators until they mature and then burst out of their shells, and a new twisted nightmare is born.
As they hatch, the Shadow Seed will slowly erode the soul and body of the host, making them slowly become no longer themselves, doing many things that are mad and make their sanity remorseful and crazy, thus speeding up the collapse of their souls, and thus the speed of devouring and hatching.
The stronger the host's will and the stronger the soul, the less likely it is to be corrupted by the Shadow Seed, and General Pedro is undoubtedly the best of them.
On the other hand, the more fattening this shadow seed absorbs during its growth, the more abundant it is, and once it is successfully hatched, the more terrifying and powerful the twisted nightmare it will become, which is how those mini-boss-level multi-eyed spider-shaped twisted nightmares come about.
