Act116 War and Fire, Knights and the Dead I.

"Luis, you mean that a group of mercenaries have appeared outside the castle, and their purpose seems to be coming at us?"

The young soldier couldn't help but quietly look up at the man sitting on his hand, Young Master Fred was as calm as ever—in fact, he was rarely in a state of agitation or frustration except because of his hair.

Fred was dressed in a black tuxedo jacket with a slightly upturned swallowtail at the hem, and after two long legs in gray narrow-legged trousers walked back and forth in the hall a few times, he stopped and began to look around at the knights present—

Someone laughed, and even couldn't help but let out a rumbling sound from his throat. Obviously, this is indeed a funny thing.

There was actually a group of mercenaries who were preparing to attack the castle where their group was located?

Even if too many knights are not in the castle, just relying on Fred himself, as well as many knight captains, including Cumberland, it is enough to make these mercenaries drink a pot-

The young knights of Victor and Evans were unimpressed by such an enemy, but when the Knight Captain Comberon mentioned that it might be the Marvey's professional mercenaries, everyone immediately relented.

"In any case, our cavalry will crush all invading enemies."

The morning light in the mountains and forests had just cleared the fog, and the condensed dew had not yet receded, and when the "Mr. Zombie" Ptolemo organization was about to launch an attack on the castle, the castle of the castle came from the castle with a "squeak" sound -

It was the winch that was hoisting the rope of the city gate, and then he did not see the old knight mentioned in the information, but a dozen or so elite cavalrymen in full armor.

To be precise, it should be a knight, in addition to Fred, Cumberland and other knights with official titles, some others are also young talents of the Iris Knights-

Through the dark and heavy visor, the young face greedily breathed in the fresh air of the mountain forest, and at this time, a light breeze blew from the nearby nameless hills, and the branches and leaves of the trees danced lightly.

The sun is shining.

The metal armor reflected a dazzling light, and the white cloak and helmet waved in the wind.

Riding spears and charging flat, the sound of horses' hooves is like dense raindrops.

There was no exchange between the two sides, but in a flash, Tolemo saw his men fall like ripe wheat in a field facing a farmer's scythe, and a standard mercenary squad of fifty people seemed to be a lot of people, but in front of these elite knights, they couldn't resist a round at all—

The skeletal archers disguised as the Marvey Ranger stretched out their bows and drew arrows, and the white feathered arrows clanged on the knights' armor, but this level of attack was like a fluttering tickle to the knights, and by the time they stretched their arms again, ready to pull the second arrow, the knight who was driving the high-speed charge of the war horse had already come to them—

The burly, sturdy-looking "Malvey hoplites" behaved like helpless children, their spears whistling through the air, bringing out a torrent of air, followed by a continuous explosion......

The cavalry had a natural advantage over the infantry, and this team of knights also adopted the standard assault formation, led by Fred Wolff, Cumberland Jeffrey, and another knight captain.

Tollermo drew his saber, a sharp, one-handed sword, and as soon as the blade was detached from its ornamentally patterned scabbard, he saw Fred's cavalry come to him—

The tip of the spear was an obtuse pointed cone, and it was getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision, and before he could swing his sword to block, the spear had already hit his nose bone, and the huge impact of the horse's high-speed sprint instantly deformed his face, and even his entire body continued to fall backwards in mid-air.

The bones of the deceased were far more solid than those of ordinary humans, and after this blow, Tolemo's head was not shot in the head as he normally would, and after a parabola was drawn in mid-air and fell into the distance, he shook his head and climbed up from the ground with his arms propped up—

"Diel's undead?"

After the "zombie" Tolemo lost the large piece of flesh on his face, he finally revealed his true face, there was not the slightest trace of blood under the cracked skin, and there was no pink muscle, instead of a whole blue-gray connective tissue drewn with putrid pus-

Fred Wolf put down his rifle with a grim face, and the other knights also realized that the group of mercenaries they were facing were not real humans.

The war horse under him understood people's intentions and immediately followed.

The sword flashed.

Decapitated with a sword.

In the face of Fred Wolfe, a knight who has entered the first stage of awakening not long ago, the zombie Tolemo has no chance to resist-

Zombies and other dead have never been known for their agility, and their superior strength and physique are their advantages, but unfortunately these advantages are insignificant in the face of the absolute power gap in the rank.

As soon as Tolemo's skull hit the ground, black smoke was already rising from it—the expression froze on his face, and the flesh was beginning to shrink and decay rapidly......

"Looking at their outfits, I thought they were all Malveis. It turned out to be the damned dead. ”

"Wait, you say Marwe's mercenaries? Wasn't it the man invited by the Count of Ensada? ”

"So, the Earl is in collusion with the dead? Hey, what an amazing discovery! ”

Several knights who had awakened to the first order and whose average strength was at the peak level of inauguration had no trouble cleaning up this group of "mercenaries", and they returned to the castle and took off their armor, and they didn't even shed too much sweat-

However, the appearance of the dead made Fred frown, and he seemed to be worried in his heart, and after the battle, he quickly went to the study, and began to write letters, reporting what had happened to his father, Count Taron, Savaren Wolfe.

"In the early morning of January 16, the enemy launched a surprise attack on Kingfisher Castle, numbering fifty-one people, and all of them were destroyed. But it's suspicious that ......"

"Mr. Zombie" Tolemo was beheaded by Fred's sword, and his head was smeared with an even layer of lime and was in a sealed wooden box, and he followed the messenger on the horse, all the way back to the Taron fortress -

The headless corpses and the stumps of their hands were collected by the knights' minions, and after some dry firewood, a raging fire was lit.

In the year of the Red Moon, at the beginning of the "Rebellion of Ambition", despite the blow of the "Fog Pine War", the nobles of the Elantra Kingdom were still the solid backbone of the country-

The combat effectiveness of the human nobles is not inferior to that of the dead in the underground world, and the only thing that is inferior is the replenishment efficiency of troops.

After writing the letter, Fred was about to get up and leave the desk, when he unexpectedly saw Michelle Becky come out of the room—

After two rhythmic clicks of his fingers on the door, Fred looked up in response, and the tall man walked briskly in front of him.

"Michelle, what's the matter?"
