Chapter 183: Tragic Lawn
The Burning Heart Knights, led by Lilith and Croze, traveled day and night after receiving Ariana's plea for help, and finally arrived outside Carcasson before the sun rose.
There are some huge stones scattered outside the city of Carcassonne, but there are not many of them, the walls are pitch black, the city gates are wide open, there is no sound of fighting in the city, but the fire and smoke can still be faintly seen in the center of the city, only the position of the goddess tower is slightly bright, and the rest of the city is completely dark.
"Kroze, they should have run out of communication crystals, I can't reach them right now. None of us know what happened inside, but one thing, if Ariana and Rachel were alive, we must rescue them as soon as possible. Lilith kept telling Kroze on his horse, the situation in the city was unknown, Kroze would not let Lilith take the risk at all, and Lilith had to agree to wait outside the city with some soldiers at his repeated requests.
Kreuz nodded to Lilith and raised his knight's spear, and the cavalry immediately stopped their brief recuperation, mounted their horses, and checked their equipment. Ten minutes later, thousands of cavalry, led by Kreuz, rushed towards the gates of Carcassonne.
Corpses, the city is full of corpses that have begun to stench, and various obstacles force the knights to walk slowly, they go around the huge crater that has been blown out, and the Sigmar soul flame burns on their bodies, as if to illuminate the whole city in this darkness. As soon as Kroze entered the city gate, he noticed that there were small insects around the corpse and in the house, and Kroze was glad that Lilith did not come in, everyone did not have this kind of protective flame, otherwise once it was controlled, Kroze would have died to apologize. As early as the time when it was decided to intervene in the Bretonnian War, all the warriors were popularized with the knowledge of the Maragos Bug Tide, the Apocalypse Totem, etc. So no one was surprised or scared in the face of these bugs, and it turned out that there was no need to worry.
During this time, Kroze asked his men to contact Walkmar and tell him that the entire city of Carcasson needed to be purified, and that he would find a way to find some more light mages. Walkma also had a headache after hearing this, how can there be so many light mages, and the remaining light mages in the entire Aldolph are only in single digits, they want to ensure the safety of the capital, even the light mages who were stationed on the vampire border before have been recruited into the Sigma Legion, and the high-level believers who can know the soul flame are only left with the Silver Hammer, as for who they are looking for help, Kreuz doesn't care, and he doesn't care about it, because there is a person who blocked their way in the last class on their way forward.
Croze was a paladin before, so he recognized King Lawn's appearance at the first time, but he couldn't believe that the scarred, dried blood in front of him was about to penetrate his skin, his armor was tattered, and the man with his hair was the once high king Lawne-Leo Cornwall. Didn't you say he was missing? Kroze thought to himself, at Lawne's feet was a pile of corpses stacked on top of each other almost two floors high, looking behind him, this corpse was spread all the way to the temple, and the insects around it made people's scalps tingle.
This strange scene made Kroze have to deal with it carefully, he stretched out his arms, raised them together, then stretched to the sides and paused for a moment before his arms turned inward ninety degrees, and finally stretched forward forcefully, and after last night, he made a movement to wipe his neck, and the cavalry immediately turned around when they saw it, and accelerated to the streets on both sides and moved towards the direction of the temple.
When Kroze saw that everyone was evacuating, he put away his weapons and dismounted, and then ran quickly towards King Lawn, and the insects that could not hide along the way were instantly burned to ashes. Because there were too many corpses, Kroze was about to take two steps, so he climbed up with his hands and feet, his heart was very desolate at the moment, he didn't know what had happened, he made this wise and martial king become what he is now, he didn't feel any life in King Lawne, he just wanted him to lie down at the moment, so that these insects did not come near him.
But when Kroze came to the feet of the kingdom of Laune, King Raune suddenly opened his bloody eyes and kicked Kroze in the head. Croze's sense of the surroundings is quite keen, the moment Lorne opened his eyes, the feeling of being stared at by a beast made the hairs on his whole body stand up, in the face of King Lorne's kick, Croze crossed his arms to block, but the huge force still kicked him down.
Croze, who had fallen on the corpse, immediately got up and immediately stretched out his hands to show that he had no malice and no weapons, and at the same time took off his helmet, wanting King Laune to see his face clearly. King Rawne looked at Kroze on the ground, and limped down from the pile of corpses, and Kroze saw that the pants of his left leg were hanging down like rags, and there were more than twenty wounds on his left leg alone, not counting the repetitions, even the bones were exposed. Croze's tears flowed down her cheeks. The misery of the king, whom he had been loyal to, was so miserable that he could not control his grief.
At that time, Zhang Hao was still very weak, and Croze's citizenship was actually a change of direction investment by King Laune, although Croze is now a high-ranking official in the empire, but he still respects King Laune in his heart. When Kreuz saw King Rawne as if he were walking to his throne, he immediately knelt on the ground and saluted him, and two lines of hot tears flowed down uncontrollably.
But King Lawn had been unconscious for a long time, and was lured to the city gate by the Valkyries, and after they died, they began to attack those under his control, killing from the city gate to the entrance of the temple, and back from the entrance of the temple, from day to night, as long as there were people around, they would be slaughtered regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies, and those who were controlled also rose up to resist, so even if the entrance to the temple was no longer in control, and the fire was no longer anything to burn and was about to be extinguished, the temple was still in the hands of the defenders.
King Lawn, whose body was too badly damaged to be as agile as before, staggered over to Croze and pounced on him, a mouth with few teeth left and a beastly roar and an extremely strong smell of blood. Kroze didn't want to resist, but after hearing the roar, he subconsciously rolled to the side, and King Laune threw himself into the air and fell directly to the ground.
Kroze calmed down at this time, and used the light emitted by the flames on his body to observe King Lorne again, only to see that although he was lying on the ground, although he tried to stand up, but the countless blood holes on his entire back could not support his body at all, he could only crawl on all fours on the ground like this, these injuries could not survive no matter who was placed on his body, and there was no trace of blood flowing out of those blood holes, which showed that there was no blood to flow at all, and he felt that King Laune did not have any life on his body again, Kreuz concluded that Lawne had become a walking corpse, and that a generation of kings had become like this..... Kreuz watched silently, saluted and got up to leave, facing Raun at this moment, he couldn't make any decision, he could only leave here first, deal with the things in the city, anyway, he couldn't do any harm, so let's do it first....
After Kreuz mounted his horse, he took out his weapon and galloped towards the temple.....
