Chapter 58: Deliverance (Part II)
On a moonlit night, in the city of Remlos Fort, nearly 10,000 undead were cleaning the battlefield in full swing, there was no Theban army in the city, and the tens of thousands of surviving residents were hiding in their homes, and they did not dare to come out.
Although the spirits roamed the streets, they did not break into the homes of the residents.
Because the lich here, Lord Carolon, has ordered that the undead are not allowed to trespass on people's houses, and those who violate them will be punished with the dissipation of their souls.
But the people didn't know that they poured the cabinet against the door, sealed the windows with wooden boards, and the men in the family were always holding the weapons issued by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and they did not leave their hands when they ate and slept.
After the Thebans left, the undead came, and the residents of the city all sighed, this city is really full of disasters!
It's so hard for us!
"Master, what do you command?" asked Turner, kneeling in front of Carolen, in a respectful voice.
"You do these cumbersome etiquette for me every time, and next time I will definitely not transform a great nobleman into a death knight. "Carolon is annoyed that her men are doing such nonsense things, which is a waste of time and meaningless, which is not in line with the values of the lich, but when it comes to transforming the undead, magic preserves most of the memories and instincts of the deceased, and etiquette is one of them.
It's like you emphasize to your employees every day what you don't want to see, but these guys take it to you a few times a day, and you can't fire them yet, not just because of their performance, but because all of them are like that.
Therefore, you can't blame the lichs for being angry and temperamental, who is not so angry with such subordinates?
"It's not a big deal, you take 2,000 undead of all kinds and scare the humans from the south. Carolon got angry and continued to fiddle with the arquebus in his hand, but in a few hours, he had already developed a dozen new uses, provided that there was enough magic to support it.
"Yes, master!" said Turner, turning to leave.
"Remember, just scare it, don't risk your life, or I won't be able to explain to my king. At the moment when Turner went out, another loud noise was heard in the house, followed by the collapse of the wall, and Carolen's soul transmission was accompanied by the sound of gunfire into the depths of Turner's soul.
Turner replied respectfully in his mind, and hurried to the southern part of the city.
At the same time, on the official road of the Kulesk region, a squad of fifty-two knights was galloping.
The bright moonlight illuminated the snow on both sides of the official road, the arrows stuck in the horses, and the blood-stained armor of the knights.
If you listen closely, you will see that the hooves of these horses are silent when they step on the ground! No! The whole team of knights is barely silent as they gallop!
This is exactly what Carolin sent out to rescue Murphy's Hakus Cavalry!
They don't need to rest, they are always on the highest alert, and they are always full of energy.
So even though the team led by Count Kuruman walked for six or seven hours, it was still overtaken by the undead knights.
"Lord Hakus, the small town ahead is Tulga. All the knights stood at the edge of the forest five hundred meters from the city of Tulga, and the knight of Thebes, who had led the way for Hakus, pointed to the twelve-meter-high walls of Tulga.
"All ready, we're going to rescue the fourth prince. Hakus took a rusty spear from his back and whispered.
"Do you have any plans, my lord?" asked the future Death Knight from the side.
"Yes. Hakus nodded, "Rush in, save people, and retreat." ”
"Uh, well, then we'll crush them with sheer strength. ”
"Ready!" Hakus aimed his spear at the gate, and then threw it with all his might.
The spear drew a perfect parabola in the air, and then slammed into the city gates.
The city gate was directly smashed into a large hole six meters wide and four meters high.
The defenders of the city also stirred up with a great tremor.
"Enemy attack!" the bell rang on the city wall, and the soldiers were awakened from their slumber, and hurriedly rushed to the wall with armor and weapons.
"Charge!" As the spear was thrown, Hakus drew his sword and shouted, and the skeletal horse under his crotch neighed and rushed forward, and naturally, the other undead knights followed him.
Fifty-two riders hid in the moonlight, and the skeleton horses ran without a sound, until Hakus and the others reached the city gate, and no one was found.
The bed crossbow on the wall looked for a target, and the archers and throwers also drew their strings, and they waited to find the enemy and throw their arrows and spears, but it was strange to wait for nearly a minute and not see the enemy attack.
"The enemy is here!"
"They're coming, help!"
At this time, a miserable scream sounded at the gate of the city, and the fifty-two horsemen rushed straight into the city, and no one could stop them at all, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not even need the undead to take action in person, and the bone horses under their crotches were enough to deal with them.
There is no way, the difference in strength is too great, and ordinary soldiers can't resist the impact of the undead knights at all, let alone the death knight who is comparable to a fifth-level transcendent at the head.
"Run! it's the undead!" a knight who was far away was still conscious, not frightened by the onrushing knight, but soon he was also frightened.
The skeletal war horses running silently, the strange eyes glowing with ghostly light, and the flames on the horses' hooves all prove one thing, "They are undead!"
"Your Excellency the two Counts, there seems to be a situation at the gate of the city, it seems that someone is attacking the city. ”
A knight, armed with a sword, knocked on the door and entered the room, interrupting the conversation between the two counts.
"Attack the city? I now have an army of tens of thousands in this city, and more than 300 transcendents, who dares to attack the city so blindly?" Count Garridge slammed the table and stood up with a look of anger on his face.
"Your Excellency Galich, don't worry! I guess it's just an eye-catching bandit group, just leave it to the security team. Count Kuruman reassured.
Under normal circumstances, it would not have been possible for the reinforcements of the Volaine to come so quickly, and they would have penetrated deep into the enemy territory to save people.
Not to mention that the city of Tulga is only a day and a half away from Ansk, the capital of the Kuresk region, and the 10,000 troops in the city are not easy to handle?
Count Galage thought about it carefully, but he really didn't have to worry too much, so he sat down and continued to drink.
"Reported! The city gates have been breached!"
The two counts' butts were not hot, and another piece of news came.
