As the corpse dragon group approached, the army on the city wall became more and more shaken.

"Oh, damn it...... I must have been kicked in the head by a tooth to join the army. ”

As a recruit who had just become a guard, Layton cautiously probed the group of corpse dragons that were approaching Hellnothan, curling his head as he cursed softly, curling up in an attempt to block his body from the wall.

There were many people on the city wall who had learned him to do so—and there were even a number of members of the Overseer who made similar moves, suggesting that they were not optimistic about the battle that would follow.

"It's coming!"

I don't know who roared, but the sound that was not too loud actually overwhelmed the sound of the waves, the wind, and the dragon's roar that gradually cleared the text, and spread throughout most of the defense line.

As if to verify his words, a loud, dull sound like an explosion came from outside the city walls, and the entire city wall shook violently, scaring the guards enough.

Layton even thought for a moment that the walls were going to collapse.

He was one of the few people who could see what was going on from an angle - a dragon, about thirty feet long, slammed its head into the wall, knocking it a little down.

Thirty feet is not a long time to put in a dragon, and it can even be said to be a minor Cheng dù, but it is terrifying enough compared to ordinary people.

And this dragon is very different from the rumors.

The dragon's horns on its head were slightly damaged, and I don't know if it was the original thing or the result of the collision just now; The dragon's eye sockets were devoid of eyeballs, but instead there was a gray sphere, from which a green, foul-smelling gelatinous substance flowed from its eye sockets, which was carried away by the howling sea breeze; The wings are also very tattered, and the flesh membrane is full of holes, and bones are exposed in many places. It is enough to make one wonder why the wings are so broken that they are still able to fly; Although the limbs were still intact, there was a small wound on its chest, through which even the dark red internal organs that had begun to decay could be seen......

Layton looked at the other party's lifeless, somewhat rotten body, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

This is a dragon zombie.

It may have had a problem with its vocal cords, but it didn't roar like a real dragon. Instead, it was a high-pitched, piercing, scalp-tingling sound.

It's as terrifying as a demon's shriek.

"Oh, damn it, may the necessary evil bestow equal punishment on all living beings......" Layton muttered softly, "including these damned dragons......"

He is not a believer in the Church of Necessary Evil, but recently because of the acquiescence and secret promotion of the city lord, the propaganda of the Church of Necessary Evil can be said to be all over the streets and alleys, just like the people of the Celestial Empire know that 'they don't accept gifts during the New Year's holidays, only XXX when they receive gifts', even if they don't know much about the Church of Necessary Evil itself. But after being exposed to it for a long time, the people of Hailnosen can casually utter a sentence or two of commonplace doctrinal propaganda.

In this sense, the strategy of the Church of Necessary Evil is correct.

"Why don't these monsters fly directly over the walls and plague the city?"

Layton heard a guard not far from him questioning the veteran.

So he tried to prick up his ears and listen to the other party's answer.

"You're a new recruit who hasn't been in the industry for a long time, right? When we used to attend classes at the military academy in Burleyton, this kind of problem was basic...... Now even you novices can become guards, so that's why I said that the expansion of the army is not a good thing......"

The veteran who was questioned muttered before replying, "Almost all large cities have special enchantments in the sky, and even dragons are difficult to break in a short period of time. That's why they attack the walls of the city by digging a hole in the wall. Even when the shit arrived, the wall with the enchantment node was torn off, so they could enter the city. ”

I see.

Layton was convinced.

At this moment, the dragon zombie that arrived first had climbed the wall - probably only a relatively small dragon like it could do this - although the place where the battle took place was nearly a hundred meters away from Layton, it was enough to make Layton feel scared and nervous.

Guards were constantly slapped by the dragon zombie directly from the wall with a single paw, or simply corroded by the pitch-black dragon breath until only a skeleton remained, and the screams filled the ears of the survivors, torturing the will of the survivors.

It's at this juncture. Reinforcements are here.

"Its quality is a hammer, and its form is an arrow."

Several turquoise arrows shot the dragon zombies from behind the walls.

But no one was optimistic about what the arrows could do to the dragon zombies - before that, there were guards who were not afraid of death who used crossbows on the walls to shoot at the dragon zombies. The arrow was still stuck in the latter's neck, revealing only a small half of its tail feathers.

However, the consequence of this was that the warrior was slapped down by the dragon zombie with a single paw along with the crossbow.

Ordinary arrows are useless, we need crossbows. No, it should be the magic cannon...... No, maybe a crystal cannon would be useful......

But the next moment something happened to them - though they didn't have glasses - and every time the dragon zombie was struck by an arrow, it would stagger, as if it had been hit by some blunt object, and by the time the arrows had hit, it had already been knocked out of the air, rubbed twice on the wall, and fell heavily to the ground.

It was only then that the guards shifted their gaze from the dragon zombies to their reinforcements.

The reinforcements were all dressed in white uniforms, which looked a bit like the standard uniforms of the Templar Order, which belonged to the pure white Church, but were actually a little more ornate and lightweight.

At the forefront was a young girl, with a glowing green photon still on her hand, making it easy to tell at a glance who was responsible for the attack that even a dragon could knock down.

"Don't be afraid! These aren't real dragons, they're just undead resurrected under the guise of dragons' corpses! We will be with you to protect your homeland! ”

Although she has been in trouble with the elders on weekdays, Horna still doesn't mind standing on the side of the necessary evil when necessary, using her position as pope to comfort others and give the guards a spiritual pillar to rely on.

She looked up at the sparkling sea, where the massive corpses were trudging across the ocean and heading for the walls of Helnothan.

- The Lord's Mansion of Haier Norsen. The Lord's Study-

While the lord of Helnotham was reading the text in his study, the window of the study was smashed open from the outside with extreme violence.

Then a figure that was not too tall, or even short, jumped in from the outside.

"Hello, Lord Castle."

The visitor grinned and looked at the city lord with a grin, and the gaze was as uncomfortable as if he were looking at a Chinese meal.

Strangely, the city lord didn't seem to care about this at all, and didn't even have a frightened expression, but just said lightly: "I don't agree with Your Excellency's way of visiting, if you can, please come in through the main gate next time." ”

"I'm a person who speaks and does things more directly, so I'm straight to the point."

The visitor didn't care about the city lord's words with some complaints, but just said to himself: "You are the holder of the soul tool, right?" ”

"I'm not going to beat around the bush, just hand over the things." Looking at the city lord who finally changed his face, the visitor grinned: "I'm not very good at talking, what's wrong...... You're going to hit me! ”

Before the words fell, a dark red sword engraved with runes inexplicably appeared in the hand of the comer, and he also turned into a dark light and shot towards the city lord.

I saw that the city lord unhurriedly closed the text he was reviewing.

The shadow that fused with the shadow of his desk beneath his feet sprouted countless black threads like hair, and in an instant, they formed a wall.

The seemingly light walls were so tough that even the attacker's sword with all his might could not cut through the silk threads.

Not only that, but these threads even had the intention of bypassing him with weapons in an attempt to tie him up.

The attacker immediately let go of his weapon and retreated a few steps, leaving the range of the silk thread.

But then he noticed that black threads began to emerge from the shadows of everything in the room.

Obviously, this is a well-laid trap.

"I think you're right," after sorting out the text at hand, the city lord looked at the young man with a face, "So I decided to teach you a good lesson." ”

Then, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a smile that could be said to be mocking: "Don't try to escape, none of the elders of the Evil Church of Necessity have gone to the city wall, and they are all waiting for you outside." ”

"You know I'm coming?" The teenager was a little surprised.

"No, I'm just guessing." The city lord laughed, and those silk threads wrapped the young man's whole body, and then strangled him into minced meat.

However, after that, the boy's body did not shed a drop of blood, but began to gradually dissipate into the air.

The city lord's face suddenly became gloomy.

He stood up, walked over to the dark red sword that had fallen to the ground, looked at it carefully, and then frowned.

“…… Just an ordinary magic item, not a soul device? ”

In a small room three miles away from the City Lord's Mansion, the young man who should have been strangled by the black silk thread just now sat there in a good manner.

In his hand he held a well-made and richly decorated mirror. It's just that what is reflected in the mirror now is not the face of the teenager, but a puddle of minced meat......

"It's rare to meet such an interesting guy," the young man couldn't help laughing: "Once you show your soul device, you will immediately enter a state of immortality because of the curse of the soul device, and it's too boring to die too quickly, so let me be happy during this time~"

At the same time, Edric's magic guide ship to Helnosen finally officially set off, heading at full speed towards the ocean city with the third type of navigation...... (To be continued......)
