Chapter 49: The Iron-Blooded Song (I)

"We have to be proactive."

Ares said suddenly. As soon as the Great Lord said this, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him. Some of the Scarlet Crusader warriors had expressions of disbelief on their faces. Indeed, the defense is so difficult, let alone the initiative to attack?

However, Ares didn't seem to feel like he was saying anything wrong.

He stood there with a serious expression.

"Wait, Ares, I don't think you understood what I meant."

Bridget emphasized, "We don't even have the ability to defend. ”

"That's why we're attacking!"

Ares replied calmly.

"You're confusing us."

"General, warriors of the Scarlet Crusaders, we will not be able to hold this fortress. It's time to take the plunge, and only by taking the initiative will we have the slightest chance of survival. Attack with all of you, cover me to break out of the encirclement of the Scourge Legion, let me find the Alliance, find the large army to return here, and kill the Scourge undead, so that we have a glimmer of hope of victory. ”

As soon as Ares finished speaking, the audience was in a lot of noise.

"He's begging for his life!"

"He's not the Ember Bringer, he stole this weapon, and the Ember Bringer would never be such a greedy person for life and fear of death!"

There was a lot of talk at the bottom. Bridget also gave a strange look in her eyes.

However, Liadline showed an admiring gaze, and like Ares, she had experienced countless tragic battles, and she knew that in this situation, Ares's decision was the right one. Defend the castle, the castle will be breached one day, and only by making a desperate bet and turning defense into attack can there be a trace of survival.

But she can't publicly support Ares because she and Ares came together. Besides, she still wants to break out with Ares, and she doesn't want to stay here, so she can't speak.

Just as everyone was staring at Ares with suspicion, a hurried bell rang again outside the castle. As Ares expected, the Scourge launched a general assault during the night.

This offensive was even more intense than the one during the day. Almost all of the Scourge troops outside the city went up together.

Looking down from the tower of the fortress, it is densely packed like a black tide. Packed with the walls around the Scarlet Fortress.

"There's no time to hesitate, Bridget, you have to make a decision. Believe me, or believe in your walls. One chance! ”

In desperation, Ares took Bridget's hand and stared at her seriously.

The latter thought about it for a moment, but still made his own decision - "what to do?" You say. The person chosen by the Ashes Bringer is not a coward. She replied briefly. The audience was shocked.

However, Ares no longer cares. He held the female general's wrist and said to her seriously-

"Let the best warriors in the fortress follow me, form a shield barrier, and fight through the main gates. You and the rest of the knights assemble and fight through the two side doors to attract the attention of the enemy. Whoever rushes out must find the main force of the alliance as quickly as possible, let them return here, and rescue the rest of the people. ”

Bridget was stunned, but after a few moments of pause, the last heir of the Scarlet Crusader decided to do what Ares said. Almost at the same time, Bridget handed over command of the Legion to Ares. Go and gather the last knights of the Scarlet Crusaders, mount their Scarlet horses, and prepare to charge.

"I'm waiting for the time to triumph with you."

In the sky, dark green poisonous gas and smog shrouded the Twilight Fortress. On the ground, the fiery blood-colored crusaders marched again. The arrival of the Ashes Messenger brought them disaster, and at the same time, gave them hope.

"Fight! For the last Scarlet Crusade! ”

The captain of the guard shouted, and the gates of the bloody fortress, surrounded by the Scourge Legion, burst open. This move surprised even the commander of the Scourge Legion.

But almost the next moment, the Scourge Commander gave a rabid order - to round up all the Scarlet Crusaders and kill the Ashbringers!

The Scourge soldiers rushed over in a frenzy.

However, even crazier than the Scourge are the Scarlet Crusaders who came back to life. They have nowhere to run, no way back. Under Ares' leadership, the Scarlet Veterans formed a shield formation, forming a tight shield barrier to block the onslaught of the Scourge Legion.

On the periphery, there is an army of natural disasters like the roar of a group of beasts, and the siege of the undead soldiers is like this snowstorm in the sky, dense and endless. Inside, there are bloody crusaders who are united and share the same hatred. They were armed with heavy shields, spears stabbed back and forth in the gaps in the shield walls, and the rotting flesh of the Scourge soldiers splattered outside the blood-colored barrier, but the high casualties of the battle could not stop the Scourge from slaughtering frantically. Groups of ghouls jumped onto the shield wall of the Scarlet Commandos.

It was a killing feast.

This is a fight between fighters. There are no flashy magic shows, just bloody hand-to-hand combat and ruthless killings. Swords tear flesh apart, spears pierce bodies, tomahawks cut off heads, and real bloody battles. Bathed in blood, the shield wall barrier has always stood and moved forward tenaciously.

If there's a glimmer of light and shadow, it's the light of the Ashesbringer in the night. In the blood-colored military song, the ash messenger Aoxue sang a long song, it roared again and again, slashed the enemy again and again, the light splashed everywhere, and the flame-like long sword drew a blazing arc in the air. Patches of undead fell in front of him, and in front of Ares, the flames plummeted, and the earth burned with holy flames, the traces of burning after the slaughter of the Scourge soldiers......

At the side door, Bridget led the last paladins of the Scarlet Crusaders to launch a bloody charge...... The battle flag like fire, the enthusiasm like fire, but to face dozens of times, even hundreds of times the undead, at this moment, the blood-colored elegy seems to float in the sky above the twilight fortress. Winter is coming......

"Your ...... without hope"

The lich whispered.

With the whispers of the undead, the ground began to crack, and cold white bone spikes burst out of the ground.

It wasn't ordinary sorcery, it was necromancy, bone spurs carrying the power of death pierced through the ground, piercing scarlet crusaders and flesh and blood. The screams and the sound of armor being pierced were incessant, and they couldn't get close to the battle to win, so the Scourge Legion used spells to win. After all, the number of mages in the Scarlet Crusade is extremely small......

"We have no hope of escaping......"

The Scarlet Warrior wailed.

However, bathed in blood, Ares resolutely clenched his sword and slaughtered into the endless army of the undead...... Darkness, like this boundless cold wind, shrouded the battlefield, and once again, Ares struck into the vast pile of undead with one sword and one sword......
