Chapter 343: The Living and the Dead (I)

Boom –

There was thunder in the sky.

The dripping raindrops fell on the streets of Dimikas, intertwined streets, residents braved the rain to walk in a hurry, the neat long streets, no one took care of them for several days, the remaining silt and stagnant water emitted a stench, most of the shops along the street were closed, the long-haired beasts carrying the messages rode to the outside of the city, carrying the knights above to rush out of the city, and the pedestrians they met on the way were full of fear and nervousness on their faces.

The young children were carried by their parents and hurried out of the city in luxury cars that were difficult to see in the southern continent, and the old man was supported by several slaves to board the comfortable frame and take refuge outside the city, and there were more slaves behind him with the things that the old man liked, forming a long line.

On the crowded streets, the ordinary residents who were squeezed to the side of the street by this team packed up their home value and some food to eat on the road, urging each other to move towards the city gate, in the crowding, people shouted, occasionally broke out conflicts, the two families fought on the side of the street, the child was thrown aside, scared and cried, the woman went crazy to help her man, grabbed each other's hair, and then was pounced by the other party's wife and children, pressed to the ground and beat hard.

Miserable cries resounded through the long streets, and the soldiers who maintained order rushed to pull them away, and the inhabitants of the passing city looked curiously and continued on their way, and such a scene became more and more chaotic in this prosperous city.

The merchants who had originally entered the city went directly to the north or left east with their goods, and from time to time they could see reinforcements of troops coming from the main transportation routes, and they were stepping up their defenses in the wilderness to the south, digging several trenches, and setting up magical devices with explosive power on the ground.

The caravan had gone far away, and some of them were still lagging behind, constantly inquiring about the situation, and talking to their companions with trepidation.

"I heard that it was a ghoul from the south, and several cities were destroyed, and no one was alive. ”

β€œ....... The dead have become ghouls, and they are going to come and eat people. ”

"Your Majesty, when will the army be sent over for reinforcements. ”

"It's been sent, I have a brother in the army, and he secretly told me that the third prince and the black scale general would come over. ”

"That's good! That's good!"

The upper country has an area of more than 20 million square kilometers, relying on the supply of the southern continent, the prosperity is indescribable, the mage is at ease in research, there is no need to worry about the lack of funds and materials, the woman sits at home peacefully, educates the children, flips through the dazzling luxuries on the magic book, occasionally meets with girlfriends, and drinks afternoon tea in the garden of the home.

Men don't have to do their best to support their families, but they still continue to strengthen their abilities at various learning points, and take on the role of a person who is constantly making progress in this worry-free society.

However, the peaceful life changes abruptly over time, like a calm water that is thrown down a boulder, setting off countless waves, and the huge ripples are like messengers of terror, spreading the news, waking up all who are asleep, and the innate fear.

"Let's go, don't get in the way in front, the ghouls in the south are coming, I heard that the four thousand soldiers sent to exterminate before were eaten by them, there are millions of them, go quickly-"

The rain was pouring down from the sky and the earth, and on the roads out of the city, in the countryside and countryside, the evacuation convoys were crowded in three directions, east, west and north, full of people and cars.

South.

The fortifications that were urgently built were gradually completed twenty miles south of the city of Dimikas, behind the long defensive network line, the black god artillery had been placed in place, the black banner was soaked in the raindrops, and the defending army here was more than 80,000 people, including a small number of priests and mages.

Although it is a temporary patchwork, it is also clear about the whole state of affairs.

The mage general named Molotia had a short meeting with his subordinates in his own team camp, he knew that the commander-in-chief of the imperial capital had not yet come, and the armies belonging to the various cities, so it was impossible to obey any of them.

"According to the information that came back before, the tide of ghouls is less than fifteen miles away from here, and it is estimated that it will come soon. ”

The cries of soldiers and the noise of fortifications were being heard outside, and Molotia, though calm, was somewhat apprehensive about facing millions of ghouls.

"On the Dijing's side, Your Majesty will not sit idly by, and the army of the three princes should be about to arrive. The others comforted.

Molotia nodded: "The third prince is very capable of leading troops to fight, and the black scale general's martial arts are also very powerful, but the number of ghouls is too large, I will naturally be a little worried in my heart, once the defense here is broken, we will face the imperial capital, and we will not have the face to go back to see Your Majesty." ”

Hearing the general's worried tone, the henchman wanted to say, outside the tent, at this time, a sudden commotion broke out, a soldier opened the tent curtain, and Molotia pinched the sword: "What's wrong?"

"The ghouls are coming. ”

The soldier who reported the words fell, and the generals in the tent also noticed a tremor under their feet, and they could not hear the footsteps at this time, but they could detect the shaking of the earth first, which means that the number ...... It's unimaginably huge for sure.

Molotia and his men looked at each other, rushed out of the tent, came to the busy fortifications, and walked up to the heights, far away, at the end of the gray and rainy day, between the sky and the earth, a black line spread up and down.

Like the tide of corpses surging from the sky, the eternally tireless legs rushed through the stagnant water, countless twisted and rotting faces, opened their mouths wide, and let out a heart-palpitating roar towards the distant defensive positions.

The black lines gradually unfolded in the field of vision, revealing the silhouette of the figures crowded together and running wildly.

"Defenseβ€”"

In the defensive position of Dimikas, in the roar of the commander, thousands of soldiers were also gathering rapidly, and then stretched out, and the array holding the shield stepped on the sound of roaring neat footsteps, standing behind the defensive network in formation, the shield pressed to the ground, and the body leaned up to make a posture of resisting to death.

In the back, a spear with an inscription on the tower shield was lit up, or a dense spear forest was formed in the gap, and the archers quickly assembled in a team, drawing arrows and placing them on the bow, while the mages and priests were also gathered nearby, brewing magical spells, waiting for the commander's next order.

Buzz Buzz Buzz ........ Countless noisy roars became clear.

In front of the field of vision, a tide of corpses approached.
