Chapter 137: The Battle of the Immortal Court
A scorching, pungent smell of sulfur permeated the formation, and an evil and chaotic energy from chaos filled the air around it, as if the door to hell had opened. The demon is hideous and ugly, with deer-like horns on its head, a long snake-like tail, short wings made of bone spurs on its back, and a solid black scale armor covering its body. They are more like a mutated dragon that walks on hind limb support.
The demon summoned from the chaos by the undead spellcaster shook the entire audience as soon as it leaped out, and it seemed that the entire undead courtyard trembled with the demon's fall to the ground, and it was the first time they had seen such a terrifying creature approaching the height of the walled city. Its thick hind limbs supported its body, and its long tail could break stone pillars with a single sweep, and the most shocking thing was the long-handled hammer it held in its hand.
The giant hammer was almost the size of a carriage, and probably no one would doubt the weight and authenticity of this demonic sledgehammer, because its destructive power on the city walls was enough to prove that this weapon could not be stopped by the superposition of ordinary human forces.
However, there was not only one such demon, and then another demon of the same form sprang out of the formation, although their appearance and the weapons in their hands were basically the same, this demon seemed to be more powerful. It's no longer limited to wielding a hammer to deal damage, as it also has the ability to manipulate fire and explosions.
The demons, who had slaughtered humans as easily as a wolf into a flock of sheep, now used a devastating offensive to instantly bury hundreds of guards in the raging fire.
The human defenses of the Immortal House collapsed in an instant, and even if Bernard and the knights used their aura of magic to inspire the courage of the soldiers, they could not save this defeat that was absolutely suppressed by the power level.
"Hehaha, how about Bernard, you didn't expect me to be able to use demonic power. I've given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, and now you can watch all your subordinates die at the hands of demons. It's too late, I can't control these demons. ”
Greif's rampant laughter was so harsh in Bernard's ears. Indeed, as he said, the demon slapped the undead who summoned it to death as soon as he turned around, and the demons didn't care about that, probably they only had chaos and destruction in their minds.
"Damn! The whole army retreated, retreated to the inner city! Defend the gates for me! Bernard shouted for the guards, and he had now decided to abandon the Outer City entirely, which would cost most of his lives, but it was necessary to keep the secret of the House of the Dead.
Bernard had already handed over command to another chief knight, ordering him to defend the inner city gates, and he left for the time being. Bernard didn't want to escape alone, after all, the entire Immortal Courtyard had no other exit for humans except for the drawbridge in front of it, and it was a real island.
Bernard's greatest power as warden is not to decide which undead need to be taken in, nor to care which ones must be killed outright. His greatest power is to use special mechanisms to detonate explosives buried in the underground of the city outside the Immortal Courtyard. It's like peeling the skin and shelling, and the outer city wrapped in the inner city is completely "cleaned"!
At that time, the outer city built by special methods will completely fall into the abyss, which is tantamount to abandoning the car to protect the commander, and the immortal courtyard that loses the outer city will lose nearly two-thirds of its strength, whether it is building defenses or those who are still alive and fighting.
……
After storming the Immortal Courtyard, Oscar's eyes were in chaos, with giant demons destroying any living creature they saw as they could move. Countless human corpses were piled up and blood flowed. It seemed that they all died on the way to the roof of the city gate.
Oscar guessed that it was the place where the entire drawbridge could be controlled, and he certainly didn't want to see the army of undead behind him swarming into the Yard of the Undead. At that time, even if he survived as an immortal, I am afraid that there would not be a living person to answer his questions.
He had to deal with the undead knight, so Oscar jumped up the tower.
"Well, the undead? You're the first undead to come in, the first outside of us, of course. You are a knight under the command of an undead general, how come I haven't seen you! Greif looked to the south outside the Immortal Courtyard and could see the armies of the undead gathering from all directions. He was a little puzzled as to why the undead had arrived so quickly.
"Me? I don't belong to any of the undead, I'm the Knight of Astra, and I always have been! Oscar aimed his sword at Greif.
"Hmph, it's an ownerless geist, Astra? A distant place, knight, why did you come to this place? Don't tell me you're called by that false god, hehaha! Greif doesn't seem to be going to go straight to it, and in his opinion, the big picture is settled, and the winner should take his time to taste the glory.
"Not called by any god, I obey only my own will. I was told that the House of the Immortals had a way to undo the curse, so I came. ”
"What? Haha! Are you here to seek that false salvation? But don't you think you should be proud to be immortal? We will rule the world with eternity, and the world will usher in the age of the undead! And you, I can see the great strength and strong will in you. Tell me, knight, what are you holding on to until now? Greif saw in Oscar the strength that was not inferior to him, and after many times of Sombra's strength, he thought that he might be able to win over this powerful masterless man.
"There's nothing to be proud of being immortal, maybe it's just a blessing that I'm still alive. Whether it's a god or anyone else, this may be my mission, for the sake of my family and for those people. ”
"Oh, what a noble and great knight you are, who has come to the end of the world alone for those vain wishes! Maybe I was the same kind of person as you when I was alive, but that doesn't stop us from having a common goal in the future...... So can I know your name? ”
"Oscar, I'm just Oscar now. I don't think we're going to have the same purpose, you want to let the undead in, but I don't. So you're ready to draw your sword! ”
"Hehe, what's wrong with coming with us to the Divine Domain to destroy those false gods who have enslaved us for thousands of years. As I said, this world will belong to the undead! It looks like I'm going to have to take on your challenge, and I'd love to see your Astra's swordsmanship, come on! Knight. I, the undead knight Greif, meet your challenge! ”
