In a small courtyard under the walls on the east side of the city of Divine Blession, dozens of heavily armed humans have been lurking here. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

They are the spies of the Eastern Feudal State, and today's task is to cooperate with the army of the Eastern Feudal State outside the city to take the lead in opening the city gate and get the first merit in the battle array.

The leader of the tour is a middle-aged man named Thomas, who has been lurking in the city for more than ten years under the cover of running a tavern.

In a place like Divine Bless, the advantage of Thomas's cover identity is not only that he will be more well-informed, but also that he is familiar with adventurers.

So he can also find some adventurers to help him fight. For this, he was also rewarded with twenty gold coins and a bronze lion medallion.

For more than ten years, he has also managed a huge network in the local area, and when he invited adventurers to help him open the city gate a few days ago, he originally thought that a hundred or ten would be enough, but he didn't expect to gather thousands of people in the end.

Most of them are hiding in houses in the neighborhood.

However, among the thousands of people, except for the dozens of familiar adventurers who had been drinking a lot lately, and the more than a hundred warriors introduced by Thomas's acquaintances in the Divine Blessing, the rest were all civilians with their families in tow.

Shenyou has been under martial law for more than a month, and before the start of the war, he was only allowed to enter but not leave.

The people, who lived in fear of not knowing when they would be eaten by the undead, got the news that he was going to attack the city gates from the inside with an army from outside the city, and they wanted to escape from the city before the opportunity.

"Too many cowards want to hide at home and wait for the outcome of the war, but what if the Imperial army enters the city and the undead start killing civilians in a hurry? And if the Imperial Army loses this time, won't the people of the whole city immediately become the reserve food for this group of undead? ”

Most of the civilians gathered were brave men with this idea, many of them were armed, and there were hundreds of people who could fight.

With this kind of combat power, it is enough to seize an empty gate from the inside while these undead are all focused on the outside of the city.

But something happened on the spot, and the young female leader in the iron mask who had commended Thomas a few days ago - the mysterious female secret agent who was very strong and said to have a very good relationship with Her Royal Highness suddenly disappeared along with several subordinates.

There was no way, so Tommas, the oldest person on the scene and the most familiar with the divine blessing, temporarily led the team.

During the day, the battle was very good, and the undead went out of the city to meet the battle, so the city was empty.

This is the ideal situation.

But first, the army outside the city has not started to attack the city for some reason, and secondly, the mysterious female leader has never returned, so the timing of the attack has been postponed by Thomas.

But it was almost midnight, and it was still unknown what was going on outside the city - there were constant shouts of killing, but the sounds of these shouts of battle seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and the human army still showed no sign of attacking the city.

"Do you want to give the order to attack the city gates?"

Thomas was hesitant.

He was just a secret agent, not a general or an officer, and he had no experience in dealing with this situation, so he really couldn't do it.

So he was going to drag it out a little longer.

But nearly a thousand uneasy human beings are hiding here, and they are not an army that is forbidden by order, and it is already the limit to be able to hide while they are in chaos.

Finally, someone who came out of hiding to inquire about the situation was discovered by the skeleton soldiers patrolling the city.

And so the battle suddenly began in this state of Thomas's unpreparedness.

Hearing the shouts nearby, Thomas felt that his mood was simply terrible.

But for some reason, the mood of repeated hesitation of gains and losses is gone, and the long-lost blood immediately wells up in my heart.

Although he only felt hot and sweaty, his palms were sweaty, and he couldn't even speak normally, he still drew his weapon and shouted in a voice that changed his tone, "Kill it." ”

――――――――――――――

There are more undead armies than you think, to the point that they don't make sense.

Originally, Thomas had already figured out that this was the weakest area of the city, but countless skeleton soldiers had come out of nowhere, as if they had come to ambush them.

As if they knew the human arrangement in advance, the skeletons scattered into the buildings where the humans were hiding in the city gates, and few of them touched the wrong door.

When it comes to their own lives, humans fight very bravely, after all, no human would dare to surrender to the undead.

But there are too many undead, roughly estimated to be one or two thousand, and there are only more than three hundred humans capable of fighting.

The rest are old and weak, women and children, and when the soldiers who protect them are killed, these people may have little ability to resist.

Naturally, the situation was extremely unfavorable.

I'm afraid that in less than half an hour, these recalcitrant humans will be killed.

Thomas is not bad in swordsmanship and strength, he is almost forty years old, but his body has not begun to age, but he is more flexible and endurance than when he was twenty, I am afraid that he is about to break through to the elite level.

But he soon realized the difference between stragglers and armies.

Although it was only a crappy army of low-ranking skeletons, the dense formation of a large number of shield spears seemed to Thomas to be simply invulnerable.

Before he could cut down any of the skeletons, he himself had hung up first, and the spies who charged with him were also stabbed down.

They almost hit the tip of the spear themselves.

The blood faded, and Thomas took a few steps back, staring at the black holes of those skeleton soldiers, and suddenly felt chills all over his body.

"Are you going to die? Do you want to escape? ”

As he hesitated, his colleagues behind him roared past him, crashing into the seemingly clumsy but sturdy formation of the undead like moths to a fire.

Courage was back on him.

This is really a rare opportunity for sneaky spies to die like heroes.

"Die and die."

Thomas rushed again.

A cluster of hedgehog-like spears arrived.

It was as if he was really going to die.

Suddenly, a holy light descended from the sky and illuminated everything around them.

Thomas had never seen such a bright light source at night, like the midday sun.

His eyes were so flashed that he closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

Without even thinking about it, Thomas, who had lost his ability to see, fell on the spot and rolled backwards, trying to dodge the possible stinging of the undead.

But apart from tripping over a human who was also temporarily blind and being stepped on by another colleague, he didn't feel anything like he had been stabbed with a spear.

Sight finally returned, and Thomas looked eagerly at the battlefield, and then he felt like his jaw was going to drop.

All the skeletons are like marionettes that have suddenly had their manipulation lines cut off.

He waited for a while before his comrades set out to treat the wounded and explore the battlefield.

Fifteen minutes later, the feedback was that all the skeletons had been eliminated.

"Destroying thousands of skeletons in a single attack, what a powerful man is that? Who is this strong man? ”

The mystery was soon revealed.

A handsome young priest slowly walked out of the street corner.

He was surrounded by a soft holy light, his black hair was like the finest brocade, his face was extremely handsome, and his beautiful black eyes like the night sky were calm and deep.

It makes people worship at first sight.

His presence was so strong that Thomas stared at him for a minute before noticing the familiar figure of the iron-masked leader beside him, and the large crowd of people following them.

The populace followed the young priest in unison, looking at him with a gaze that was probably more reverent and fanatical than when they were staring at the idol of the god of light.

Someone whispered something, and Thomas tried to listen, thinking it was the word "Sage."

After seeing the demeanor and strength of this priest, Thomas felt that this was really an appropriate title.
