Chapter Ninety-Seven: Betrayal
As the sudden sword light was about to slash at Lenya, who was still focused on her opponent, she suddenly lowered her head just as she was about to be cut off.
The soft body leaned forward slightly, and a beautiful whip leg on the right leg swept the sneaking figure behind the battle array.
The figure staggered forward after being beaten, revealing his emaciated figure wearing silver Church of Light standard plate armor, blonde hair, and a shocked look on his face, which was none other than the Tiger Knight who had disappeared from the previous time.
"You're a champion knight!"
He clutched his abdomen in some pain on the ground that had just been swept by Lenia, and the bulging armor was now visibly dented. Even if it didn't cause bleeding, Tiger felt as if his internal organs had been stirred up indiscriminately.
After hearing Tiger's cry of surprise and incomprehension, Lenia didn't say much, and after secretly using her hand to block the zombie knight in front of her, she looked at Tiger who was struggling to get up from the ground with a sword full of disgust and contempt.
"Tiger, you really didn't have good intentions from the beginning, aren't you ashamed that you, as a Templar of the Church of Light, turned to a cult and attacked us innocent people?"
Seeing that although she didn't have time to remind Lenia but was well resolved by herself, Duke also saw Tiger who made a sneak attack, so he asked loudly in the distance.
When Tiger heard Duke mention these words, his face twitched rapidly, and his originally handsome face was distorted by the overflowing anger and resentment.
"Church?innocent?hehehehe......"
He smiled heavily, and with a wave of his right hand, he and the female knight who had been made into a zombie attacked Lenia from the left and right, and after a few hard fights to no avail, their figures quickly disappeared into the thick fog.
Although Lenia is only one level higher than them, after becoming a zombie, she will lose her original agility and most of her skills, so Tiger will not be able to use her numerical advantage to defeat Lenia, so she can only return to the dark corners to find an opportunity to play Yin.
Lenia jumped back to the center of the position and was ready to respond to the soldiers around her at any time, and now that Tiger saw that he couldn't snipe the highest combat power on his side, he was very likely to pick these ordinary soldiers who had no ability to protect themselves.
"Are you worthy of them by turning your former comrades into such a person, more than ghosts, worthy of them, worthy of your conscience? Think for your old father!"
Although he knew that it was nonsense to ask, Duke still hoped to use this opportunity to provoke Tiger to speak up, thus exposing his position and creating an opportunity for Lenia to attack.
"Hahaha, comrade, how can someone who can't walk on the same path as me become a comrade, so that they can work for me is their best help to me......"
However, even if Tiger opened his mouth to respond to Duke's questioning, his plan was still frustrated, and Tiger's voice traveled through some unknown channel and then spread in all directions of the mist, not only unable to discern the specific direction, but also had a slight concussive effect.
"As for my father, my lord, I don't think you'll forget who got him into where he is, right?"
With that, Tiger was speechless, completely lost in the fog, and now all that was left was the monotonous but incessant sound of gunfire except for the wails and barks of those hyena-like monsters.
Lenia folded her hands and swords in place with her eyes closed, and with Tiger's threat, she was no longer free to lend a helping hand in various emergency situations, and for a while, the pressure on the soldiers to resist the line increased a lot, but it was not yet a sign of defeat.
Suddenly, another red-black sword light slashed at a dwarf who was aiming, and Lenia quickly drew her sword to block the attack.
Just as she was blocking the attack, there was a dying wail of a war horse and a panicked shout of a soldier immediately behind her.
It turned out that Tiger was just a trick this time, and if Lenia didn't save him, he could easily kill a dwarven soldier. If Lenia comes to his rescue, he will secretly manipulate another zombie knight to attack from a position that Lenia can't even take.
Due to Lenia's strength, Tiger was a little overwhelmed, so he could only use his fighting qi wholeheartedly to resist, otherwise he was still very likely to die under the sword.
Therefore, he was a little uncomfortable in controlling the zombies, and he could only use a small amount of mental manipulation, but the sword that was about to be cut on a soldier deviated from the established target and slashed at the neck of the war horse next to him, almost cutting off the neck of the war horse, leaving only a little flesh and skin connected to the original place.
The soldier who had escaped by the rescue was shocked into a cold sweat and involuntarily panicked, forcing Lenia to push Tiger away and immediately turn around to drive away Tiger Zombie's zombie puppet.
"Shrink the line! Shrink the line!"
Seeing this happening, Duke hurriedly ordered the soldiers to start moving backwards slowly, slowly shrinking the entire circular defense line and reducing the diameter of the circle, so that Lenia could support in less time, barely able to take care of both ends.
It's just that Tiger is so elusive and able to divide the attack, although it has not caused any substantial damage for the time being, but the blow to morale is extremely huge.
And if Lenia has been exhausted on both sides, sooner or later she will be exhausted and consumed alive, and then the side that does not have the best combat power will easily be killed by Tiger alone.
"Lord Duke, are you just going to do this, shrinking your head turtle, rather than waiting for Lord Calamity to come back and clean you up after completing the ceremony, why don't you be killed by me now, at least there will be less pain?"
After several attempts to repeat the old trick and were easily blocked by Lenia, Tiger re-hid in the fog and could only curse in frustration.
Completing the ritual?
Of course, Duke would not be stupid enough to listen to Tiger's nonsense, but he still captured some information from Tiger's words, and according to the meaning of his words, it seems that the current senior leaders of the Final Church are still held back by something and cannot show up, so they can only rely on these small fish and shrimp to surround themselves for the time being, and then clean up later.
After figuring out the joints, Duke suddenly felt that time was extremely urgent, if the other party completed the ceremony, it was estimated that Agnes would be basically finished, and then he would not lose his underwear if he explained it here.
With a sharp turn of thought, he would catch a glimpse of a few black boxes in the pile of supplies, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
