Chapter 217: The Hope of Life
readx;?ā Mistress Freeman is right, the fluctuation caused by the final blow just now should not only be me, but everyone should feel discomfort in their heads, and I think that fluctuation should be the key to activating these immortal lives. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
At some point, Alan had woken up and walked to the side of Hoynin with Elvis's support.
"Alan, are you awake, are you alright?"
The historian Freeman, who saw Allen's outstanding performance on the way from finding the location of the monument to destroying the skeletons, was full of admiration and affection for the boy, so he was very happy to see him awake
"I'm fine, but I have a little brain injury, and I can withstand it. ā
Alan smiled at Freeman, but his bloodstained expression looked indescribably weird.
"It's okay, is there any way to stop the attack of these undead?"
Allen's resourcefulness conquered not only Freeman, but also everyone, so at this moment, Hoinen, who was the head of the regiment, also habitually asked Allen for advice.
The only one of the few who was a little upset was probably Andre, but he also forced a smile and nodded at Alan to show his concern.
"These undead are not here to attack us, they are just protecting the altar, and the reason why they know that the altar is threatened by us is because the fluctuations on the crystal pillar are still continuing, so they will continue to attack us under the control of the fluctuations, unless the fluctuations of the crystal pillar disappear, they may stop attacking, or even enter a dormant state again. ā
Alan pointed to the still-flickering halo on the crystal pillar and spoke his opinion.
"Alan, I don't know anything about magic, you and Elvis have to try to see if we can stop the halo fluctuations on the crystal pillar, otherwise according to this situation, we won't be able to last long. I'm going down to help them, Andrei, you're with me. ā
In the time it took for a few people above the altar to speak, the situation below had changed a lot.
After the first undead creature was pushed into the underground river, the guards in the expedition immediately began to form a formation at the mouth of the stone bridge, which was their only and best way to defend at the moment, and since the metal weapon could not cause serious damage to the enemy, everyone turned their cultivation fighting spirit into action.
At this time, the only thing that can kill the enemy may be fighting spirit.
As soon as the formation was completed, another undead creature pounced on the bridge.
The well-trained guards didn't have to wait for orders at all, they had already stopped the undead with their shields, and at the same time used the gap in the shields to assassinate the undead with short spears, and the fighting spirit on the short spears suddenly opened the skin of the undead creatures.
However, for the fearless and painless undead, this bit of damage obviously could not make them retreat, and they turned around and immediately rushed back again.
"Attack their eyes and lower limbs. ā
I don't know who shouted, the guards with short guns quickly adjusted their tactics, and the effect was immediate, the agility and speed of the undead creatures who were stabbed in the forelimbs were greatly reduced, but the tactics of attacking the eyes were not easy to achieve, because the shape of these undead creatures changed too quickly, and it was difficult to accurately attack their eyes unless they could find the moment when they were still.
Therefore, the current defense can only delay the enemy's attack, but it will not solve the fundamental problem, because more and more undead creatures are rushing from the square across the bridge in black and pressing, and they are constantly hitting the shields of the guards guarding the bridge.
One, two, three... Ten... Dozens... Hundreds.
The four guards supporting the shield already felt numb in their arms and half of their bodies, and the pain was exacerbated by each high-speed impact of the undead.
Since this mission is only an exploration of historical sites, not a battle to kill the enemy, most of the weapons carried by the guards are mainly close-fitting short blades, and the shields only carry four iron oak shields equipped with light infantry, so it is a little overstretched in this kind of defense similar to positional warfare, and it is impossible to give full play to the maximum power of the infantry defense array. Although the archers in the back can attack from a distance, the impact on the undead is negligible unless they can shoot them in the eyes and penetrate the brains of the undead.
Just as the guards with shields were unable to continue to support, and the other four put down their weapons and prepared to take over the defense, two strong black shadows on the bridge suddenly rose high, crossed the top of the shield, and pounced on the middle of the crowd.
"Be careful, it's dangerous!"
The guards shouted that if the two undead were allowed to rush to the rear, their defensive formations would collapse immediately, and the young mages who were not good at melee combat and the knight cadets who lacked actual combat experience could suffer casualties.
But at this moment, suddenly a yellow horse volleyed into the sky, like sunlight breaking through the dark clouds, followed by a little purple starlight, and the golden dragon probed its claws to meet the black shadow that leaped over.
"Boom!"
There was a crisp sound of a sharp blade cutting through frozen meat, and a cold gray liquid suddenly spilled into the air, with a strange disgusting taste.
The two undead creatures were actually slashed into four pieces in unison under this sword, and a large amount of gray liquid gushed out from the fracture and scattered all over the ground, and a disgusting smell quickly spread.
After the four pieces of the undead creature landed, they did not die immediately, but still struggled and writhed on the ground, dragging their broken bodies towards the team members around them, until the head of the Hoining regiment made a sword on each of their heads.
"Wow!"
Seeing this, the two girls couldn't suppress the nausea in their hearts, and threw up yesterday's dinner at once.
Taking advantage of the gap between Hoinen's killing of the two undead, the four guards who could no longer hold on were finally replaced.
After the new force came up, he immediately stabilized the defensive line, and now there was Huo Yining in the rear with the Celestial Star Sword, and any undead creature that crossed the shield would be repulsed or killed by him. At this moment, all the members of the delegation breathed a sigh of relief, but the danger was far from being lifted, because hundreds of undead creatures, even if they were allowed to slaughter, they would have to kill for a long time, not to mention that now only the combination of the regiment leader Huo Yining and the Heavenly Star Sword could kill the undead creatures with hard skin and flesh, and it was estimated that he might not be able to kill all the undead creatures when his arm was broken.
Therefore, everyone, including the head of the regiment, Huo Yining, pinned their hopes for life on the three people above the altar.
At this time, at the top of the altar, Alan also fell into thought.
The fluctuations on the crystal pillar must be some kind of magic, and it is related to the fire magic that the crystal pillar has, otherwise it is impossible to explain why only he reacts the most violently when the fluctuations occur, because he is the only magician with fire specialties among all of them. ps: I recommend another new book "The Real Kepler 452b", Oriental Fantasy, please support it, I believe the new book will bring surprises to everyone![bookid=3604248,bookname="The Real Kepler 452b"]
