Chapter 41: Engels' Defense War (4)
"Withdraw! Retreat! Tonks hurriedly shouted.
Before his eyes, more and more skeleton soldiers stood up from the ground, trembling and picking up all the weapons they could use.
The remains of the decapitated ghoul wriggled and gathered into a strange and terrifying monster: the Stitched Corpse.
Ghoul bodies can't be disassembled and assembled like skeleton soldiers, but under the influence of necromancy, they are combined into a higher level of stitched corpses.
The situation that was originally quite favorable took a sharp turn, and no one expected that the magic of the red-clothed god of death would tilt the entire battle situation.
Seeing that the undead were gathering more and more, Mani had no choice but to use his huge sword qi many times to sweep away the way forward, and the cavalry behind him followed closely, they had to speed up and escape, if they were surrounded by the undead, the only result was to die here and become one of them.
Tonks picked up a sword from the ground and swept away the undead around him, the garrison behind him retreating at a rapid pace, and the archers on the walls fired at great speed to cover their retreat.
The red-clothed Reaper's eyes were red, and it quickly flashed to the retreating position of the ordinary soldiers, and the sickle-shaped staff slashed at the soldiers' necks, and all the soldiers who fell to the ground wherever its scythe went, and wisps of silver-white light flew out of the soldiers' bodies, turning into a ball of light in the hands of the red-clothed Reaper.
It kneaded the light ball in its hand a few times, threw it into the crowd, and the moment it fell to the ground, a large number of screaming souls flew out of the light ball and attacked the living people around it.
Tonks' face turned pale, the sword he had just thrown consumed his fighting energy too much, and he couldn't use it again in a short period of time, unable to stop the movement of the red-clothed god of death.
Far away in the magic tower in the city, Hanlipus and the other mages prepared range spells to contain the undead's attack, and there was no time to interfere with the attack of the red-clothed Grim Reaper, and for a time it did whatever it wanted.
Two alchemy dolls appeared at the gates of Engels, the only ones under Hanlipas who could participate in the battle, and all of them had been sent out to guard the only way for these soldiers to survive.
Mani led his knights to make a gap from the north of the Necro Legion, gasping for breath to escape from the encirclement of the Necromancy, as the leader of the cavalry, it took Mani too much strength to enter and exit.
Mani, who was about to take the cavalry back to Engels City, subconsciously looked in the direction of Quinnhardt on the back, only to see a black knight's shadow appear above the horizon.
The knight's speed was extremely fast, and he could see his figure zooming in rapidly, but his body seemed to be shrouded in a thick black fog, and he could only see the general shape, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
If Roy were here, he would have recognized it at first glance, this is one of the four Commander Knights of the Legion of the Undead, the Black Famine, the Knight of the Calamity: Zirlicas.
After the Necromantic Monarch with the Mercury Staff ruled the Undead Glacier, he canonized the four Undead Knights who followed him as the Commander Knights, and using the power of the Mercury Staff, they evolved into special Undead Knights, namely the War Knight on a white horse, wearing a crown and holding a longbow, the Killing Knight on a red horse and holding a broadsword: Liscat, the Calamity Knight on a black horse and holding a balance and arrows in his hands: Zirlicas, and the Suffering Knight on a green horse and a spear and carrying a Necronomic Banner: Bangalore.
As a plague knight who manages the attack on the human area, Zirlicas arrived much later than the red-clothed god of death, the higher the level of the undead to pass through the space, the larger the gap required, after Quinhardt gathered more than 10,000 undead, the size of the portal was barely enough for Zillicas to descend to the main material realm, this eager calamity knight, when it was ready to come, ordered the necromantic army to attack Engels City.
At this time, at the time of the battle in Engels City, the Knights of the Famine were belated.
Zirlicas was extremely fast, and the black mist-like horse under his crotch seemed to be one with it, and the flow of mist blended with each other, and only a humanoid necron could be seen riding on a horse-shaped necromancer.
It held a balance in its left hand and a long sword in its right hand, both of which were black, as if they had been transformed by the stars, and the light of the stars shone in the pitch black, and he seemed to see Mani, almost teleporting, and his whole body appeared not far from Mani.
Its face was all black mist, and only a pair of red eyes could be seen poking out of the mist, staring at Mani on horseback.
Mani's heart was shocked, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he subconsciously waved the long sword in his hand, shaking out a sword qi and slashing at Zirlicas.
In the face of the attack of the sword qi, Zirlicas's body remained motionless, and the balance on his left hand turned into a circle of black mist, absorbing the sword qi slashed by Mani, turning into a bright white energy body that appeared at one end of the scale, and the unbalanced balance on both sides began to tilt towards the tray with white solid.
The mist on Zillicas's body surged, turning into black energy appeared on the other side of the scale, and as the balance of the scale, the two energies on the balance flew out together, overlapping and wrapping around the long sword in its right hand, and a dull male voice came from its mist-surging body: "A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye." ”
As soon as the words fell, it swung down the long sword that was originally pointing at the sky, and the two entangled energies turned into a black and white sword qi and quickly slashed towards Mani.
Unexpectedly, Mani hurriedly used the long sword in his hand to cross in front of him, but the sword qi turned into two energies was too domineering, directly shaking Mani off the horse, falling to the ground and fainting, the long sword in his hand was shattered, and even the cuirass on his body was opened by this sword qi A huge crack was opened, and red blood flowed out of the crack in the breastplate.
Seeing this, one of the horsemen behind him hurriedly dropped his weapon, clamped the horse's belly, put his body on the horse, grabbed Mani on the ground with both hands, and with a struggle around his waist, he pulled him up from the ground, put him on the horse's back, turned the horse's head and ran towards the west.
The cavalry behind him hurriedly followed, blocking the cavalry running in front with their bodies.
Zirlicas didn't continue to pursue, its red eyes only stayed on Mani's body for a moment before turning away, and the black mist horse under him continued in the direction of the red-clothed Grim Reaper.
The red-clothed Grim Reaper, who was still harvesting the souls of ordinary soldiers, saw Zirlicas and quickly stopped his movements, and a dodge appeared beside Zirlicas, it lowered its head, curled up its body, and said something to Qirlicas.
Before the red-clothed god of death finished speaking, Zierlicas interrupted it, looked at Engels City in front of him, and said lightly: "It's too slow." ”
The red-clothed god of death hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kept asking for mercy, but Zirlicas didn't say anything more, he pointed the long sword in his right hand straight to the sky, black fluctuations came out from it, and the necromancers who were touched by this black fluctuation howled in pain, and a large amount of soul fire was extinguished, turning into pure soul energy and converging on Zirlicas's sword.
The body of the red-clothed god of death quickly evaporated, and a large amount of soul power was pumped out by Zirlicas as punishment for its slow attack.
With the condensation of a large amount of soul power, the originally black long sword turned silvery-white, its right hand fell, and the majestic power turned into a huge sword qi and slashed at the gate of Engels City with a thunderous momentum.
A huge rumbling sound reached Tonks's ears, and he looked back at Engels City in disbelief, and with only one blow, Engels City was broken!
