Chapter Ninety-Nine: Storming Shadowfang Castle (Part II)
Steel collides, werewolves roar, weapons spark in the air, and on the stone bridge leading to Shadowfang Castle, the most elite King's Guard of the Kingdom of Gilneth and the murderous Bloodfang Werewolves battle each other. Dense crowds crowded this not wide bridge, crowded with people.
It was almost a savage advance, and with hatred for the blood-toothed werewolves, the army of Gilneth was at the head of King Jean. Under the leadership of Greyman, it fought bloodily. The bite of wild beasts, the screams of humans, the tearing sound of weapons biting into the flesh, the claws slapping against shields, all resounded.
Standing on the bridge, Liam commanded the Gilneth musketeers and archers, constantly throwing barrages and arrows at the blood-fanged werewolves huddled at the bridgehead. In the night, the arrows fell into the wolves, like a meteor shower into the black ocean, and werewolves continued to fall, but they also accidentally injured the warriors of Gilneis. Fortunately, the heavy armor blocked most of the arrow clusters.
The sound of muskets, the pulling of bowstrings, the sound of arrows skimming the sky. There were even siege engines throwing flints into the castle to destroy the tall stone towers that stood inside the castle. Inside the huge castle, thick smoke billowed into the sky, and even in the dark of night, it was clear to see.
The battle scene in front of me is much more exciting than in the dungeon. Ares remembers that when he brushed the trumpet, five people rushed in one go, sneakily killed the guards inside, and put the bosses down one by one, and those guards and bosses were waiting for you to beat them one by one like stupid X. However, in reality, when Gilneys's army attacked the castle, almost all the blood-fanged werewolves came out, crowded at the gates, standing on the walls and towers, in short, doing everything possible to stop the attack of the coalition forces.
Jean was about to kill almost all the blood-toothed werewolves standing at the bridge, and behind him, the corpses of the blood-fanged werewolves were covered. His body was stained with the blood of a scarlet and blackened werewolf. However, he remained fearless, raised his great sword, shouted angrily, and directed his army to attack the city.
Several Gilneth hoplites carried the heavy hammer and slammed into the outer gates of Shadowfang Castle.
In the dark night, Gianna and the people of the Five Fireballs continued to cast fireball spells, knocking down the werewolves on the city wall one by one, and the flames swept the entire city, and on the outer wall of the Shadow Fang Castle, it was like a surging flame belt, and thick smoke was billowing out.
Yet, no matter how strong the flames were, there were still werewolves standing on the walls, howling and shouting. They hunched over and hid under the battlements, and if they were lucky, they could dodge the many fireballs.
The gates were shaking, and sawdust was falling from the beams.
At this time, all the Gilneth werewolves also joined the battle, and they turned into werewolf forms in the dark night, roaring and rushing to Jean's team. Standing with the warriors of Gilnes, waiting for the moment when the city was broken, they rushed in to fight the blood-toothed werewolves inside.
"Father."
Liam hunched over to Jean, his werewolf body even taller than Jean, muscular, thick arms covered in thick hair, and a battle axe in one hand, like a real warrior.
Jean glanced at him with a look of relief. Then, he raised his sword and roared.
The gates crumbled with a final blow.
"Rush in! Kill them all! ”
The king roared.
In the next moment, countless Gilneth warriors, werewolves, raised their torches and frantically slaughtered into Shadowfang Castle...... At night, like a flowing river of flames, it entered the Dark Castle, and the Gilneys angrily launched a vengeful attack on the headquarters of the Bloodtooth Werewolf.
Jean, who rushed to the front, held a two-handed sword in his hand, and slashed the arm of a blood-toothed werewolf with one sword, and then when the other party fell to the ground in pain, another sword pierced its chest from top to bottom, ending the wolf's life.
Liam roared and fought, and slashed at a blood-fanged werewolf with his axe, but was knocked down by the blood-fanged werewolf, and the axe fell out, and the two werewolves tore together. Liam's fangs severed the blood-fanged werewolf's throat, and the blood-fanged werewolf was also on his shoulder, leaving a scarlet wound and blood pouring out of the prince's shoulder.
But at the critical moment, Belissa rushed up and used a temporary druid spell to stop the wound from continuing to bleed. Then, in severe pain, Liam stood behind his father, and together with more Gilneth werewolves, rushed towards the second gate.
However, when the gates of the inner city were breached, everyone was stunned by what they saw.
It wasn't a ferocious blood-toothed werewolf, but a bunch of unconscious, thoughtless zombies!
They were densely packed and filled the plaza inside the castle, and it was clear that these were the human guards of the Shadowfang Castle in the first place, and when Arugao led the Bloodfang Werewolves to take over the castle, they killed them all, and then resurrected them through necromancy as another important force to guard the castle. Among the zombies, there was a nobleman dressed in bright clothes, to be exact, a dead nobleman, Baron Sivalen.
Jean recognized him at a glance, and the poor baron probably never dreamed that he would be in the service of the monsters that invaded his castle when he died. Arugao manipulates necromancy on the highest tower of the castle, controlling these undead to fight, and it can even perceive the touch and vision of each zombie, and see the appearance of the intruder through a pair of ghost eyes.
In the next second, the roaring Gilneth warriors collided with hordes of undead zombies and fought together.
Throughout the square, bloody battles were raging. And the people of the five fireballs secretly climbed the city wall, and there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment against the zombie group in the center of the square......
"Gianna, Drum, Herold, now, follow me, we must find our way to the castle tower and kill Arugao inside the tower to end this battle once and for all. Let King Jean and his soldiers suffer from the undead here, we must find a shortcut to the tower, it must be. ”
In the scuffle, Ares led his team up the circular trail that winded up from the side door. There are slightly fewer undead here, looking at the tower glowing with blue-purple light not far away, Ares knows that Arugao, the owner of Shadowfang Castle, must be inside, he is manipulating these undead zombies, and even manipulating the bloodfang werewolf, only by killing him can the battle be truly resolved. Otherwise, even if the siege was won, Gilneys's army would have suffered heavy losses.
Gianna nodded thoughtfully, while Herold and the Scarlet Crusaders didn't think about it, and nodded vigorously, indicating that they were determined to carry out the orders of the High Lord.
