Chapter 560: Lies (3)
They are, after all, professional soldiers and hard-fought survivors, and they know that they have no way back...... The undead will spare no one who is alive, and surrendering is no different from dying in battle, except for the additional humiliation and torture.
The Ten, who was the junior officer, quickly assembled their respective deployments, with the defensive warriors or paladins at the forefront, the soldiers tasked with killing the dead and the dead standing behind them, and the soldiers protecting the priests and archers in place, once the undead broke through the first line of defense, they were the last hope to turn the tide of battle.
What about the so-called Atonement Corps? Isn't it time for the criminals who hurt their fellow comrades to rush to the front? Loria didn't send any prisoners, except her friend who kept stuffing food into her mouth.
Torches were lit in turn, illuminating the ground beneath their feet and exposing them to darkness, and the soldiers gradually descended into despair, but there was still no commotion.
Soon, the figures of the undead became clear, and at the foreground were several undead cavalry on skeletal horses, dragging scarred humans with ropes - once caught by the undead, it was best to be killed immediately, and it was said that most of the humans would be locked in cages and used as tools for evil alchemists and magicians to play with.
Even though they still refuse to acknowledge the distinction between the Scourge and the Forsaken, the Scarlet Crusaders have divided them into organized and fragmented parts...... The undead cavalry were followed by a horde of brainless undead who had been attracted by them with the living.
No one is angry, the undead are vile and cruel...... Even Loria, who can distinguish between natural disasters and the forsaken, feels that the forsaken's respect for life has long since disappeared along with their lives.
The undead cavalry cut the ropes that dragged the humans and scattered in both directions, and the low-level scourge smelled flesh and blood, and they couldn't wait to limp towards the captured humans with their rotting limbs.
The instinct for survival caused the captives to desperately rush towards the Crusader camp, only to be shot by the shooters before they could get close to the line, without even the need for an officer's order. No one frowned...... Alice's eyes narrowed as Loria used to do, she didn't care about the sad fate of mankind, she just thought that Loria should be uncomfortable seeing this scene again.
Hordes of undead soon pounced on the humans who were not yet dead, pushing each other and scrambling to tear off a piece of flesh. The rest couldn't squeeze in, so he noticed more humans not far away.
"Stand by! Stay in formation!" the officers relayed the centurion's order, and their fear was not for the soldiers to retreat, but for charging head-on - this was more in line with everyone's habits, and it would help to kill more undead in formation.
Stuff the last piece of bread into your mouth. Alice decides to fulfill Loria's assignment and jumps from the wooden watchtower...... Smashed down, grunted and rolled a few times, snorted to her feet, pushed away a knight who was blocking her, and stood in front of everyone.
She was a little surprised that those undead still dared to move forward, and they were about to rush in front of her!
Ignorant humble corpses, who do not even understand fear and awe.
Offended, Alice is angry, she hasn't been very active lately. But that doesn't mean you can be insulted at will!
"Feel the wrath of God, woohoo!"
Overly excited, Alice added extra tone to her special move, but it didn't affect the tentacles that broke through the ground and wrenched the undead into pieces—hundreds of tentacles twisted and danced to shatter a nearby one, a scene so bizarre that the Scarlet Crusaders stood still.
Thankfully, they didn't move, and Alice, like the Crusaders, had no idea of allies in her head at all.
Although these tentacles are indescribable in appearance, they are slightly vulnerable when dealing with powerful individuals, and under normal circumstances, Alice always wins by quantity, using an endless number of small tentacles to defeat her opponents...... In fact, her abilities are especially suitable for use on the battlefield.
Several tentacles curled around an abomination. They writhed around it, slicing through the fragile stitches with their barbed bodies, and the abomination scattered into a disgusting pile of wreckage, and more of the weaker zombies and skeletons were swept away by the fluttering tentacles. It was immediately smashed into two pieces, and several tentacles discovered a new way to play, wrapping themselves around the ghoul's body, clinging to the ground, and then throwing the ghoul high and letting it smash to the ground.
Hundreds of twisted tentacles were soon swept away by the thousands of low-level scourges that the Forsaken had brought in. Then she suddenly burrowed into the ground and vanished, and the thick tentacle that had dragged and guarded Alice herself slowly lowered her.
After a long silence, several Forsaken cavalry, who had been pressed in the distance, retreated.
Alice pursed her lips contemptuously, then turned to face the stunned crusaders, slightly worried about their reaction...... After all, not every human can accept the appearance of her tentacles like Loria.
What if they attack you? Kill them all? But Loria will be angry......
Etude ......
Alice was distressed when someone suddenly called out her name, who might be familiar with Loria and would actually call her the way Loria called her.
"Elyse!
The soldiers who couldn't figure out her name also shouted, louder and louder, and more and more people joined in, gradually becoming uniform, loud and rhythmic.
Hawkers, the aesthetics of the Scarlet Crusaders may have been distorted along with their three views...... In the eyes of people who can kill their own kind in order to purify the undead, it is not a big deal to deal with the undead's big killer captain with a little curiosity.
The agitated crusaders finally stopped shouting Elysé's name, and several men rushed up and dragged her, threw her up and caught her.
"Put me down!"
Elysé's shouts were drowned out by her own name, and she didn't like it at all...... But it's a good feeling to be popular.
"God!"
"God of War!"
……
Monastery.
At the same time as the birth of a new cult that worshiped tentacles, martial law was once again ordered, and most of the Scarlet Crusaders were driven back to the camp, and even the few patrols changed their usual routes, a scene that was all too familiar to stir up lingering pain in people's hearts...... Will the next purge be in the near future?
People lost sleep in the long night, waiting for the darkness to recede, and in unnoticed corners, Renault and Whitemane hugged each other tightly.
"Commander, Grand Prosecutor, get out of here, they'll soon notice something unusual. (To be continued.) )
