Chapter 18: The Temple of Hasendis
Nataya and I looked back and saw that we had indeed been to this cave.
This is the cave where Nataya and I found Avina in the first place, but the time was urgent, so we didn't search the cave.
Now that we had entered, there were a large number of crows waiting for us at the entrance of the cave outside, and the five of us decided to search the cave to see if there was any other way out.
After walking a short distance, I saw the stake that had tied Avina in the first place, and yes, this was it.
Walking along the entrance of the cave, there is actually a passage, and the key problem is that there are actually traces of artificial carving here.
It's a man-made natural cave, and even the further you go inside, the more open the passage becomes. Not only that, but there are also places to set torches on the walls along the way.
With the light of the torches in Lofes' hands, the few of us continued deeper into the cave.
Suddenly, the inside suddenly became cheerful, not only with small bridges and flowing water, but also with some building ruins. It's like a small town, but it's uninhabited, and it's as silent as death.
A few of us saw that the water was flowing, and that we were thirsty, and that the river was clear, so I tried to take a few sips with my hands in my hands.
The river water is very sweet, it should not be poisonous, everyone is thirsty and sees that I am fine, and they come to drink it one after another. After quenching our thirst, we ate a little bit and rested for a while before exploring the cavern, which is actually quite large.
As she walked, Nataya said that her stomach hurt a little, and then Frant and Lofes also started to hurt, and only me and Avina were fine.
Could it be that there was a problem with the water just now, but no, Avina and I have nothing to do.
But the three of them recovered quickly, and they pressed it down with great endurance. Walking through the labyrinthine ruins of buildings, we saw a stone bridge in front of us.
The stone bridge seems to have been formed naturally, and it is integrated into one and connects to the other end.
There was a dark bottomless abyss on both sides of the stone bridge, and we had to step on the stone bridge to see what was on the other side.
Looking to both sides from the stone bridge, a cold wind seemed to blow from the underworld, and the pitch-black abyss made people feel creepy, and they couldn't help but retreat.
The stone bridge is so long that you can't see the other side at a glance. Halfway through, the five of us saw a palace-like appearance on the other side, but we could see a lot of green light.
It wasn't until the end of our bridge that we could see exactly what the scene was like.
In front of us was an oversized temple carved with many creatures we had not seen before. Unlike other temples, this temple emits a faint green light around it that illuminates the dark cavern.
Like a netherworld, this is actually the Temple of Hasendis, the lair of the Necromantic Witch King.
Finally arrived at Lancelot's lair, and the five of us happily hugged each other. We know what we're going to face next, and we know how dangerous it is, but we have to.
We sneaked into the gigantic temple, where two giant monster statues stood at its door.
When I entered the gate of this temple, there was no sound around me, and there was no trace of any enemy.
At this moment, what we didn't know was that from all directions, from the dark void, twelve powerful undead came out of thin air.
These twelve undead quietly surrounded the five of us, and they were the legendary twelve necromantic witches with terrifying strength.
By the time we found them, it was too late.
"Go quickly, go straight to Lancelot, don't waste time and strength here, leave it to us here. Nataya said to me
At this moment, on the walls of Kailandil.
It was already a sea of corpses, and most of the archers and crossbowmen were almost swallowed up by the army of the undead who rushed up.
The ferocity of the army of the undead is unmatched by any army in the past, they are invisible, they are tangible.
Fortunately, there were still a large number of knights of the Order fighting, and the speed of the Nightmare Legion's attack was not so devastating.
There are three paladins in the city, they are the leader of the Twilight Knights, the deer paladin Margaret, the leader of the Red Flame Knights, the bear paladin Coleman, and the Pope's newly appointed head of the Falcon Knights, Eagle Paladin Gregory Gerald.
Not only these three powerhouses, but all the knights of the Order in the city participated in this war.
The fighting was extremely fierce, and although it already had some means to fight the undead, the casualties were still high.
The miserable and hopeless squad of prisoners and others in the city advanced to the drummers of Marshal Alonso's troops. They were sent to a wall that had been breached by the undead, where they could hold back a large number of ghost riders.
This is simply a massacre, but there is no hope of living anyway, it is better to die than to die on the way to battle anyway.
Amid the sonorous onslaught of drummers and trumpeters, the group rushed desperately towards the Ghost Riders.
With countless screams, these people who had not received professional training were killed by such powerful undead as the Evil Spirit Rider.
The dead bodies in one place were bleeding like rivers, and some people's intestines were all flowing all over the ground, and as the last person fell, more undead also attacked the city.
At this time, there were also mercenaries of the empire standing in front of these undead, these mercenaries were of mixed quality, some were well-equipped and well-trained, and some were relatively inexperienced.
Fortunately, the commander of this huge mercenary army is still very powerful, he is a person who knows how to fight a war, and has a rich military career and combat command experience.
This is what the Imperial Royal Family has hired at great expense, and it's time for them to put it into play.
Spearmen in the front row, then shield warriors, then crossbowmen, cavalry in the rear.
This arrangement is also decent, and it is quite effective against the armies of ordinary humans, but they will face the undead, death, and the nightmare army from the underworld.
The moment the spearmen in the front row made contact with those ghost knights, those spears pierced directly through these ghost knights. But then, most of the spearmen's heads had rolled to the ground.
The crossbowmen shot arrows desperately, but to no avail, and before the shield warriors could react, the Ghost Rider had already rushed in front of them.
Wield a rusty greatsword and slash at the warriors from the head. Some of their helmets were deformed, and the shields they blocked were split in half.
"It's terrible, these devils. "There was a great deal of fear in everyone's hearts
As a result, some people turned around and fled, these people are here to make money, not to die. Having a life to make money, not having a life to spend money, that's something only a fool would do.
