Chapter 225: Blockade

Twilight's impersonation of Dreyus had an effect, and the Black Knights followed the dreadnoughts after killing all the Royal First Legionmen.

The Black Warriors didn't have horses, and they might not have outrun the Dreadnoughts in normal times, but now they didn't have slept for two nights, and the lack of water had become a matter for the Dreadnoughts.

Seeing that there was another day to get out of the Northland, some of the Dreadnoughts couldn't stand it and began to fall behind, at first there were few people Twilight could still estimate, but as time went on, it was like a chain effect, and the people who fell began one after another, not only because of lack of water, but also because of exhaustion.

Not to mention the others, even Twilight herself is dizzy from thirst, and Denagostan behind him is even more lazy to move on the horse's buttocks.

At this time, Twilight frowned and thought about it, dismounted and said to Emilio, "Gather all the horses and kill them, and let the soldiers drink the blood."

Twilight's remark shocked Emilio, not many people would do such a thing as drinking blood, but on the other hand, there was only one way to do it.

Immediately, the only four horses of the Dreadnought were pulled over, and Twilight and Zagrel and Emilio's horses were also contributed.

The seven war horses were gathered together, and Emilio also said that the blood of the war horses was released for everyone to drink, once this person was forced to a certain extent, anything could be done, and the dreadnought soldiers, who were already thirsty and dizzy, and collapsed, did not hesitate at all after hearing Twilight's order, and they took their helmets and looked at the seven war horses with green eyes.

Soon the first horse was killed, and under Emilio's drink, the soldiers lined up to receive the blood.

Seven war horses can release up to seven large barrels of blood, which is not enough for the dreadnought soldiers to share, and the more than 2,000 dreadnought soldiers can only get a small bite each, but just such a small bite has saved many lives.

At this time, many of the soldiers who drank horse blood but were not satisfied put their green eyes on the war bear Dabao beside Dumb, but although they were very thirsty, they also knew the strength and status of Setis, and they just wanted to be lustful.

After draining all the horse's blood, Twilight let all the dreadnought soldiers rest in place, and he looked at his warhorse, a good war horse is rare, this war horse has been with him for a long time, and Twilight also specially created a set of armor with Mithril for it, but he didn't expect it to die on the battlefield but at the hands of his master.

Many of them fell asleep from this break, they were too tired and sleepy, and Twilight didn't rush to wake them up until the scouts sent out returned.

"General, the Black Knights and those undead have caught up, and we are still a kilometer away."

Hearing the scout's return, Twilight whispers so quickly that he gets up and tells the other officers to wake up all the soldiers.

Soon the dreadnought soldiers rose one after another, and Emilio glared at his bloodshot eyes because he had not been rested for a long time and said, "There are a dozen soldiers who can't be called."

Emilio's words stunned Twilight, and then he realized that some of the soldiers had just fallen asleep.

Without further ado, Twilight saw that the troops had gathered and shouted, "Brothers, we will be out of the Northland in one day, and there will be water by then, so let's hold on a little longer."

Twilight's words shocked many of the soldiers, and there was a light in their eyes, which was the light of longing for life, and sometimes if you give a person a glimmer of hope, then they will burst out with unimaginable potential.

The Dreadnoughts continue on their way, but Twilight looks to the sky, where several black dots hover above Twilight and the others, the undead gargoyle, a flying monster with bat-like wings and hard skin.

These gargoyles were discovered by Twilight after seeing the undead troops following them all the time, and they are now acting as scouts, and it is because of the guidance of these gargoyles that the Black Knights and the low-level undead can always follow them.

Damn, if only Denagostein could fly!

With such a sigh, Twilight retracted her gaze, these gargoyles are very clever at flying beyond their bow and arrow and spell attacks, and if they don't pay attention, others will think that it is an eagle flying above!

After walking for about two hours, the speed of the black knights and low-level undead in the rear increased significantly, forcing Twilight to order the dreadnoughts to speed up, thanks to the fact that Twilight had given them a break for a while, otherwise they would not have been able to hold on for a long time.

At this moment, the fearless soldier in front saw a dark shadow appear in front of him, and Twilight immediately sent out scouts.

"General, it's the undead, the number is about ten thousand." The scout quickly ran back, his face a little pale.

Twilight also sees that the shadows are human, and his brow furrows, as the undead appear in the direction of the Mountain of Thorns.

"What to do? Going in the other direction?" Zagrell asks Twilight.

Shaking his head, if he bypassed these ten thousand undead, he would go further, and the Dreadnought Army would not be able to hold out for that long.

"Rush through from the front." Twilight thought about it for a moment and made a decision, he guessed that the Shadow Church must not have so many black knights in the early stage, and the ten thousand undead in front of him must be low-level undead.

"Brothers, there are ten thousand undead in front of us, they are blocking our way, we are going to rush over, we will rush to the Thorn Mountain, and we will have enough water to drink when we get there." Twilight loudly encourages the fearless soldiers, and of course he knows the allusion to Mei's thirst, and he begins to draw flatbread for his soldiers.

Inspired by Twilight, the intrepid soldiers' eyes welled up with a desire to survive, and they followed Twilight and Emilio to the army of 10,000 undead.

Soon, the dreadnoughts met with 10,000 undead, and looking at the undead in front of the team of the undead wearing a golden sword and hammer pattern robe, a mage wearing a somewhat shabby looking magic robe and emaciated couldn't help but say, "Your Royal Highness, Balk has been waiting here for a long time."

Lich?

The corners of Twilight's eyes twitched as she looked at the spell she spoke, this was the first time he had really faced a lich in this world, and it was a ninth-order one.

With a snort in her heart, Twilight pulled out the blade of vengeance behind her and roared, "Dreadnoughts, then charge!"

The effect of the war cry is very obvious on the dreadnoughts at this time, and all the soldiers are in high spirits under the twilight roar, they are fighting for their own survival.

Now is the early stage of the appearance of the undead, except for those black knights who are estimated to be the trump cards of the Shadow Church, other high-level troops such as Abomination, Bone Dragon, Bone Giant, etc. will not appear, and the lich is also pitiful, so Twilight will choose to let the tired dreadnought soldiers charge, and it will not be a big problem to deal with those low-level undead dreadnoughts who are only one or two orders in poor condition.

With Emilio and the other soldiers fighting the undead, Twilight, Dumb, and Zagrel confronting the lich, and the werewolf loses his mind but hides without anyone noticing, like an old hunter.

Seeing that Twilight's target was him, the lich named Balk was not surprised, and he first controlled the low-level undead around him to rush towards Twilight and Dumb, and then saw his eyes with soul flames jumping, and with a wave of his hand, a dark green magic arrow flew out and shot at the tall and fat Setis.

Instantaneous spells without resorting to other kicker gear!

Twilight's eyes froze, and she took two steps to block the magic arrow with the royal barrier, but the next moment another magic arrow flew over, and Twilight could only continue to block it.

By this time, Twilight and Dumb have already rushed into the crowd of undead, only to see that every swing of the killing axe in Dumb's hand will fall a group of undead, and Zagrell's support will also arrive.

I saw Sagrel standing on the back of the war bear Dabao who was parked behind, his hands shook continuously, and an orange fireball the size of a basketball appeared, and then was pushed out by Sagreel.

Bang!

There was a muffled sound, and the lich named Balk raised his left hand, and a wall of ice appeared in front of him, blocking Zagreel's great fireball.

Ice Barrier!

Zagrel in the rear recognized this spell, which was a compulsory skill for high-level ice mages, and it was very strong in both physical and magical defense.

One blow without attack, Zagrel waved continuously between his hands, one by one fireballs were thrown out, and he would also be able to use instant spells, with those few gems obtained from the goblin ruins, there was no problem for Zagrel to instantly send some low-level spells.

Balk is distracted by Zagreel's surprise, and by the time he stops a few fireballs, Dumb and Twilight have already rushed in front of him.

"You!" Looking at Twilight with a sword, a hint of confusion flashed in the lich named Balk's eyes, and he sensed that something was wrong with his eldest prince.

Bite!

Twilight's vengeful blade slashes at Balk's ice barrier, leaving a rift.

At this time, Dumb's axe followed Twilight's sword and slashed over, although there were some doubts in his heart, but Balk still wisely dodged Dumb's giant axe by dodging, and how Dumb crushed those undead cannon fodder Balk still saw before.

Charge!

Seeing Balk dodge with the high-level mage skill of Flash, Twilight charges with her legs.

As soon as Balk appeared on the other side, he saw Twilight rushing over, and a wave of freezing air instantly appeared from Balk's body and erupted in all directions, Twilight suddenly felt his legs stiffen, and he hurriedly mobilized the desolation power in his body, and the chill in his legs was expelled between breaths.

Just as Twilight puts her eyes on Balk again, a flash of inspiration strikes in Balk's mind, and then he is shocked to know what he felt was wrong.

The eyes, the eyes are black, and the eyes of Dreyus should not be black.

The man in front of him is not Dreyus. Danas. (To be continued......)
