489.Chapter 489: Desperate Situation and Turning Point

Roddy could smell the strong smell of blood as he inhaled, proving that the undead had not been transformed for too long, as evidenced by the private soldier ornament on the other side's body: it was a soldier who had just been killed in an orc attack.

The headless body was motionless, but when you looked closely, you could see the huge wounds on his body that had been torn by the wolf cavalry.

"Boss, isn't this guy human?"

"Dead people, living dead people, the next time you see it, cut it to death, be careful not to let its blood splash into your mouth and eyes, if this happens, immediately go to Akasha and purify it with divine magic, otherwise you will be poisoned soon, understand?"

The big man Erwin hurriedly nodded yes and checked for the other party's blood on his body. Roddy, on the other hand, stood up slowly, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a very solemn gaze...

What does it mean for the undead to appear here?

While thinking about it, he noticed the prompt in the [Taskbar], clicked on it, and found that the next clue appeared in the [Trial of the Throne of Bones]:

"The undead soldiers have appeared before you, foreshadowing the machinations of Augustine the Great, and you are facing a threat from the greatest monarch of the Throne of Bones. Fight or you'll be one of the bones!"

Objective: Defeat the army of the undead 1/3000

Kill the Necro Army Leader 0/1

Duration: 3 days

Rewards: 6,720,000 experience points, 2 advanced talents, and any three skills to strengthen.

The rows of handwriting made Luo swallow his spit - the "epic" mission had come this far, and the reward was indeed tempting. But with such gains comes unimaginable dangers... The three-day mission time limit and the 3,000 undead army are placed together, indicating that what he has to face is probably the premeditated encirclement and annihilation of the undead!

This is simply a disaster, the threat of the orcs is in front of you, and the undead are quietly not making such a big situation?

How did he do it?

Roddy looked at the corpse in front of him, but suddenly heard another warning from the soldiers not far away - he suddenly got up and found that Sodrol had already slashed several figures with three cavalrymen who were about to pounce on the team.

Or the undead!

"Go back to the team immediately, it's not safe here. ”

Roddy didn't talk nonsense, called Erwin and the others to leave, and when he returned to the camp, Sodrol on the outskirts had already hacked eight undead back and forth, and at the same time, the warning showed that more enemies were approaching!

"Stop resting, everyone is ready to go!"

The soldiers who had just breathed their breath immediately took up their arms and began to line up, and the tired nobleman struggled to get up from the pain in his legs, but just as Sally was about to let the team continue eastward, Roddy suddenly stopped her.

"Wait. ”

Sodrol rushed back to the team at this time, and said in a hurry: "Although there are no more undead on the periphery, these people are all dressed as private soldiers, and one of them should be a baron, and they are all participating in the hunting team!"

"It's not a coincidence... It's not a coincidence at all..."

Luo Di muttered to himself, but said abruptly: "We can't continue to walk, if we go any further, it will be a dead end!"

His words were almost alarmist, causing the surrounding nobles to look at them suddenly - after the previous events, no one had any doubts about Roddy at this time, everyone was just very puzzled why Roddy made such a judgment.

"The orcs haven't caught up yet, these undead ordinary soldiers can beat it, we can still break through..."

"yes, keep walking, you can definitely do it!"

"No, why did we just get rid of the orcs and then encounter the undead? Senna, a traitor, can only collude with the orcs, can't he call the undead at the same time? Damn!"

There was no need for Roddy to say anything, and these nobles immediately came back to their senses. None of the men were stupid, and almost immediately thought about what had happened—but the more this happened, the more silent the atmosphere became.

Sirens on the periphery were constantly ringing, indicating that more and more undead were pouring towards the area.

"The nearest village can't be reached before dark, and if it does, then the undead have an advantage - because the summoned zombies don't rely on their eyes to identify their targets, and there is no difference between day and night. At that point, even if our team is not overtaken by the wolf cavalry, I am afraid that we will be surrounded by the undead..."

Roddy was sure of this, because he was very familiar with this necromancer-led method of warfare - to put it bluntly, when the "soldiers" were sufficient, it was enough to "surround" and "consume" the soldiers' physical strength.

No charge, no trickery, the undead's way of fighting is to rely on absolute "numerical superiority" to crush the target. They don't care how many people die or how much morale falls.

In terms of mission objectives, there are at least 3,000 troops about to besiege Roddy, which is enough to completely destroy Roddy's slow-moving team.

Even if they rushed to the nearest village and resupplied them, without the cover of the city walls, none of them could stop a single village...

What if the orcs don't chase after them?

What if there weren't so many undead?

Although there are countless "just in case" situations, everyone present understands that if their fate is entrusted to the "just in case" situation, then the chance of surviving is probably "1 in 10,000" -- there can never be a fluke mentality in war, and if you make a wrong step, the consequences may be that everyone will pay the price of their lives.

Now the team has fallen into a complete deadlock, no matter which one is chosen, it is nothing more than a desperate fight, and the consequences are almost a "death" in terms of probability. It's just whether you have the courage to shake off the burden and break through.

"No, that's it, those who are willing to stay stay, Duke Sally, Baron Roddy, you guys have a team, and the chances of getting out of danger are definitely greater. ”

A nobleman proposed this method in a calm tone, although it was cruel, but no one raised any objections at this time.

The older nobles did not say anything more, and began to arrange their leather armor and weapons, although many of them were greedy for life and afraid of death for many years, but at this time they were really willing to make sacrifices - in the original creed of the aristocracy of mankind, "death in battle" was always honorable.

Catherine's eyes dimmed, she knew that if she really carried out this plan, she would undoubtedly be the part that was sacrificed, but now, she also accepted this fate calmly.

At least more than before, Catherine thinks she's figured it out after all.

There was no way out, Sally looked at Roddy with complicated eyes, and the latter frowned, trying to think of a way to deal with it, but no matter what, Roddy couldn't find a way to protect the team-

"What you do, you have to bear the consequences. Looking at the somewhat dignified team, Catherine suddenly sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for the fact that we had to form an alliance to deal with Duke Sally on the issue of the mine, I'm afraid there would be no such thing as now..."

Several nobles who had stood on the same team as Viscount Anru before were ashamed, but at this point, regret was useless.

"Mine..."

Roddy suddenly raised his head and stared at Catherine suddenly: "You said the mines, the mines of the Cohen Mountains?"

"It's... Oh, yes. ”

Catherine didn't understand why Roddy was suddenly so excited, and after answering instinctively, she found that the other party took a deep breath-

"Whew... There is hope!"

"What do you mean? Roddy, what's wrong with that mine?"

Sally was beside her, and she had bid for the two silver mines last night completely at the advice of Roddy, but the reason for this was unknown. But how does the current escape have anything to do with the mine?

Roddy confirmed the plan with just a glance at the [map bar], and he said loudly, "Turn around and head towards the Cohen Mine!"

"It's not far from here, it's less than twelve kilometers away, but... Don't the undead dare to go up the mountain?"

"Don't guess, I'm explaining to you when I get there!" Roddy quickly ran to the waiting team around him, and said loudly: "The escort team is protected on both sides, only attacking the undead who are close, and don't worry about anything else!"

"Keep walking, these scum don't know our kingdom at all, in the Cohen Mountains, there is a solution to them!"

Roddy's voice made the soldiers and nobles inexplicably feel a little more confident in their hearts, because he didn't look like a forced smile at all, but had full certainty.

"Don't save your strength for the horses, let's go up the mountain!"

Turning around, Roddy pointed at Catherine and the barons who had voluntarily severed: "Don't think about going to death! Listen to me, this time, I promise you will survive!"

"All will be the heroes of the kingdom, and the enemy will surely die by our sword!"

"Soldiers, go! for the kingdom of Karen!"

Catherine's eyes widened, looking at the people in front of her who were gritting their teeth for survival, for the kingdom, and for glory, and suddenly there was a surge of blood in her chest...

"For the kingdom of Karen!"

Her voice was mixed with the shouts of the soldiers, whether it was her, the private soldiers, the holy soldiers, the dragonists, or the nobles, all of them had only one identity at this moment-

They were the first army in decades to start a "foreign counterattack".

At the same time, Godard's troops were camping three hundred meters outside Pacaro.

This act of contempt was a silent insult to the humans inside the city - not only that, but every once in a while, the wolf cavalry would approach the city with the remains of their freshly severed limbs, and hurled the limbs near the walls to intimidate the nervous soldiers above.

After an hour of throwing like this, many of the guards who had never been to the battlefield were basically pale and their legs were weak. Because the ground is already densely packed with human fragments, it is too terrifying.

Godard's mood didn't improve, though. His soldiers had lost more than seventy of them, but they were unable to take revenge because the enemy had cowered in the city, and now he had no choice but to vent his anger in this way...

And after the anger gradually dissipated, he simply began to care about returning to the grassland.

Anyway, enough people have been killed, and enough money has been made in the heads of nobles, so this trip will not lose in any case.

But just as he was about to order everyone to rest on the spot, the black-robed orc appeared in front of him again and brought him surprising news.

"You say they didn't go into town?
