The night at the North Stone Fortress was silent, and the guards crouched at the door of the arsenal, boredly counting the stars in the sky, and could hear the snoring of the captain beside him.

"It's a errand. ”

The soldier picked up a stone and threw it into the distance, watching the stone streak across the night sky, and suddenly noticed a strange flow in the air. It looked like a transparent mist, frozen in front of it.

"How can it be foggy in such a season?" the unknown guard looked at the fog twice, and was just about to take a few steps forward. In the next second, the blade behind him, wrapped in the sound of the wind, stabbed out of the void and slit his throat.

Before he could let out a scream, a large amount of blood splattered everywhere like a fountain, and the soldier felt that the strength of his whole body was drained in an instant, and the darkness in front of him became heavier and heavier.

The "Reconnaissance Xenomorph" shrouded in black robes lifted the abilities of "Mimicry" and "Concealment", picked up the soldier's corpse, and hid it in a dark corner. A wooden crate was placed in the doorway of the weapons depot, and the planks were lifted to reveal the explosives.

Ten minutes later, a deafening explosion, accompanied by a ball of flames, announced the official beginning of the chaos of the Battle of Beishi.

In the camp of the Knights of the Twilight West, Cumberland put on his armor and loudly conveyed orders to his subordinates, and when he saw Todd standing in front of him in military uniform, the old man frowned: "Chief Commander, you don't need to participate in tonight's battle. ”

Todd shook his head and said, "As you said during the day, a brave and warlike commander should be able to make sure that the soldiers can see him at all times. ”

Cumberland sighed, turned to Huggins' 'Successor' cavalry squad and ordered, "Your troops, as reserves, stay with the chief commander and protect the commander at all costs!"

Looking at the army that had just returned to Twilight Town to join the battle, Todd had no intention of opposing Cumberland's decision, but in the dark, he counted the number of the Inheritor's cavalry squad a little, but it seemed that there was one more?

Inside the North Stone Fortress, Count Hewlett, who was awakened by the explosion, hurriedly got dressed, came to the hall and grabbed a herald and asked, "What's the matter?! Is the enemy attacking the city?"

The herald cried with a sad face: "My lord, the enemy did not attack the city, but those barbarians ......"

"What's wrong with those guys?

"They're in rebellion!"

Hewlett angrily slapped the herald: "Nonsense! I have laid down heavy troops around the barbarian camp, and they are just so many, no weapons and no armor, how can they rebel?!"

The herald covered his flushed cheeks with one hand and pointed to the flames outside the door with the other: "My lord, it's not just those barbarian soldiers who have rebelled! There are also thousands of barbarian slaves, who have opened the door of the arsenal and are now attacking the gate of the inner city of the fortress!"

Earl Hewlett was as pale as earth as he was.

Inside the fortress, in the camp of the slaughter mercenary group, the regiment leader Tim sat on the steps, listening to the shouts of killing in the fortress, silent.

His subordinates shouted anxiously, "Chief, those barbarians are about to break through the inner city gates, should we go to the aid of the Count now?"

Tim stood up, picked up his axe, and spat on the ground: "Tell everyone to get their weapons ready, and we'll attack the silver vault of the North Stone Fortress." ”

What the?!

The soldiers of the mercenary group, hearing the order of the regiment commander, opened their eyes and cast surprised glances.

"Boss, attack the silver vault?!Is there a mistake?"

Tim laughed, "That Count, am I really an idiot? he can use the barbarian army to drain the enemy's forces today, and he will also send us to death tomorrow to preserve his strength!" ”

The barbarian armies had acquired a large amount of armor and blades from their arsenals, and with the tools of warfare, even the weakest children and youngest women of the tribe had the courage to fight the enemy head-on. Because, the desire for war and the maintenance of the tribe are the honor that these barbarians naturally flow in their veins.

This force, which was nearly 1,300 people, took the defenders of the fortress by surprise, and the gate of the inner city officially changed hands after half an hour of attack. One of the clansmen asked Boyle, "Chief, what should we do next when we break the gates of the inner city?"

The barbarian leader glanced at the plain outside the fortress and gave an order to the troops: "Capture the fortress treasury as soon as possible, withdraw from the fortress after plundering, and head north into the mountains!"

In this chaotic night, the defenders of the fortress, the slaughter mercenary group, and the barbarian troops fought together in the inner city, and the three forces were stirred together like paint, and together they painted a chaotic and strange scene in this painting called "North Stone Fortress". However, after the Knights of the Twilight West breached the fortress drawbridge, they encountered an unexpected enemy.

Cumberland led the troops, and when they passed through the main square of the fortress, a huge figure with a height of seven meters crawled out of the underground of the fortress, and the dark skin under the night, coupled with the mutated limbs and organs, looked a bit like the mythical and legendary "ogre".

Todder reined in his horse and looked in amazement at the resemblance of the giant, with the mottled patterns on his skin, two arms, one large and one small, and the head of the deceased embedded in his chest, which had been slowly assimilated by flesh and blood......

Todd finally remembered who this guy was.

This guy is clearly the "Inheritor Mutant" he encountered in the Watch Fortress!

It's just that compared to the "Frankenstein" that was stitched together at the time, this mutant has now slowly fused the flesh and blood from different creatures together, and it looks more like a whole.

After a brief moment of shock, the soldiers of the Knights of the Twilight West waved their weapons and rushed towards the monster in front of them.

The mutant placed its huge arm at the side of its body, charged its strength and slammed out, five or six soldiers were knocked into the air by the attack, and then fell to the ground hard, losing their lives in an instant, and the rest of the people were frightened by the monster's terrifying face and super attack.

"Huggins, take your squad to defeat him!" Seeing this, Todd could no longer care about anything, and turned to the knight beside him and gave a loud order.

Huggins looked hesitant, "But it's my duty to keep you safe, Lord Todd!"

Todd leaned closer to Huggins: "This is the order of the chief commander! If we continue to fight like this, the losses of the Knights of the Twilight West will expand to an unacceptable level! Listen, Hudgens, the only person who can defeat the 'Inheritor' is the 'Inheritor'!"

The knight looked at the huge monster in front of him, thought for a moment, and finally nodded to Todd, leading the "Inheritor" cavalry team to meet him.

The existence of "Dragon Bone" gives the aces of the Knights of the Twilight West superhuman strength, agility and speed, while abilities such as "Regeneration" and "Metal Skin" give them the basis for survival on the battlefield.

Thirteen "Inheritors" circled the huge "Mutant", using the advantage of speed and strength to defeat the latter.

Just when Todd thought the big picture was settled, a vision happened.

The Mutant fell to its knees, a huge bulge bulging from its back, and a loud concussion sounded from it. As roars resounded across the battlefield, dozens of chilling creatures struck beneath the fortress.

Perhaps it is not accurate to describe it in terms of living things.

They are like "things" made up of dead bodies, old people, children, women, soldiers, these people who have long since died, naked, without a single wisp, have been sucked into a huge "pile of meat", digested, transformed, and transformed into "mutants" composed of corpses.

Cumberland's face turned pale, he took out the cross on his chest, drew the holy cross, and shouted to his men: "We are the army of the Heavenly Father, the vanguard of Heaven!

Listening to the sound of the explosion in his ears, Todd clenched the reins in his hand tightly, his palms were full of sweat, and while he was thinking about what to do, a puff of black smoke slowly drifted in front of him.

Naturally alert and highly nervous, Todd has an extremely quick reaction to the scene in front of him.

When a hand reached out from the black smoke and struck Todd, he slipped off his horse and dodged the attack.

"It's been a long time, Master Todd......" The black mist slowly condensed into a human form, and the throat bone stood in front of the horse, looking at the people on the ground with a smile: "Your achievements and progress have simply impressed me, and I really believe it now, the so-called Holy Son said it." ”

Todd stood up from the ground and looked at the man with a cold look in his eyes: "I never thought that I would meet you here, what is the 'Relief Society' here for?"

Laryngeal glanced back at the mutants and the corpses, and said, "'Relief Society'?" I believe that the word scavenging should be more accurate. ”

The man watched as Huggins noticed the situation, and the latter had turned his horse's head and rushed towards him, turning back to Todd and saying, "Speaking of which, Master Todd hasn't been to us since the last time we parted. As...... Go again with me this time?"

Todd took a half step back, his eyes full of wariness, "What if I don't agree?"

Throat took out a twenty-centimeter-long short sword from his bosom, pinched the hilt with two fingers, stabbed at Todd, and said, "Then I can only let you lie down first." ”

Todd looked at the blade that slowly enlarged in his eyes, and in fright, his body wanted to move, but his feet were rooted, and he couldn't do it. At this moment, a dagger burst out of the air, and the short sword that held the throat bone sturdily strongly.

A woman with black hair and black eyes, dismantling the "mimicry" and "concealment", stood in front of Todd.

Looking at this familiar back, Todd exclaimed, "Karin, why are you here?!"

"Someone warned us two days ago that the Relief Society is here, and my sister asked me to follow Uncle Huggins to the battlefield to protect you. ”

Seeing the knight's horse getting closer and closer to him, knowing that the best time had faded, he withdrew his dagger with a smile and shrugged his shoulders: "Lord Todd, there should be some misunderstanding between us. But that's okay, I'm sure we'll see each other again soon. ”

After saying this, the laryngeal bone put his hand to his mouth and whistled. The mutants and the hordes of corpses slowly left the battlefield and disappeared beyond the gates of the fortress.

"Lord Todd, please don't forget who you and I are. We are all aliens, and sooner or later we will have a common enemy. The throat bone turned into a black mist that scattered in all directions in the night.

Watching Cumberland organize the rescue of the wounded, Huggins leading the team to clean up the war, Todd watched the rising sun slowly rise in the east, sat down on the ground, fatigue and worry coming over like a tide.

From today, the North Stone Fortress ended the centuries-long occupation of the kingdom and was officially incorporated into the territory of Duxi Town.

But that's just the beginning.
