Chapter 224: The Return
Countless undead horsemen spread from the sky, entering the north from all directions, peering at Primonius, the last great war fortress of the orcs, a few days ago, they broke through the fortress of Berlanco, and the whole of Berlanco burned to ashes.
However, this also bought the last trace of time for the orc country, and also allowed the remaining civilians and outcasts to successfully retreat into the rear, but as long as the orcs fail again, they will completely lose the ability to resist, and the entire north will no longer be able to stop the charge of the undead iron horsemen.
"Roar!"
"The Monarch of Death is here!" Verdanti stood above the head of Primonius and looked at the black dots that appeared in the sky in the distance.
The voice of the corpse dragon roared above the sky, and the celestial phenomena in the sky also changed, and the originally clear sky gradually became black clouds and darkened, and the visibility continued to decrease.
"They are waiting for the night to fall, the reduction of visibility, for the undead, there is no hindrance, but for orcs and humans, deadly."
The approach of the army of the undead allowed everyone to see their true faces, only to see countless death knights leading a huge army of skeletons, standing in the distance, led by a high-level necromantic creature, arrayed in the distance.
It was also divided into different arms, and a large number of weapons and armor were equipped along the way, and the pressure created by its terrifying form and silence made everyone feel a chill down their backs.
Lowering his head, looking at the endless skeleton shelves in the distance, there are also death knights with shining eyes, as well as the headless horsemen and skeleton mages mixed in them, standing on the top of the wall, many soldiers who saw the army of the undead for the first time, under this majesty, they felt their legs tremble constantly.
At night, the dark clouds in the sky gathered, covering the moon and the stars, and throughout the night, the darkness could not see the slightest light, and the city and the lighthouse in the city burned with flames, illuminating the walls and the inside and outside of the city.
However, as the dark clouds gathered in the sky, snowflakes gradually began to fall in the sky, and the air became colder and colder, and the biting wind blew, making people feel that they could not even hold the sword steadily.
"Woo!"
The horn sounded, and the undead in the distance suddenly began to act, and in the distance, where the fire could not be illuminated, a commotion was suddenly felt, with neat footsteps and strange roars.
Verdanti never left the walls, waiting for the attack to begin: "It's finally begun!" ”
Verdanti drew his long sword, and the countless orc knights and soldiers behind him drew their long swords together, and the sword light and shield were raised on the entire wall of Primonius.
"Humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul!"
"At the moment of the strong enemy, we are not afraid, we are bold and loyal, we are worthy of the sacred, we are loyal and upright, we would rather die than give in, and we will protect the weak, which is not against the principles of heaven!"
Along with Verdanti, everyone shouted this oath that was the most famous in the Holy Seville Empire, and the sound of the oath resounded in the sky, and all the knights who had sworn an oath looked at Verdanti's figure, as if they felt the power of this oath.
Verdante's sword pointed forward: "Today, as long as we defeat this army of death and defeat them, we will be victorious, the Monarch of Death alone, it is not worth fearing, as long as we hold on, we will be victorious." ”
"Me! Will, Emperor of the Holy Seville Empire, will never leave the city! ”
Verdanti roared angrily: "Victory or death!" ”
Everyone on the city wall seemed to feel that their chests were ignited by a flame, and their hearts seemed to be burning, even if the snow was falling around them at the moment, it was as cold as winter, and everyone roared hoarsely in desperation.
"Victory or death!"
"Victory or death!"
The roar was accompanied by the impact of the undead army, and at this time, countless undead armies, carrying siege equipment and weapon shields, set up on the city wall, rushed to the city wall, siege vehicles, arrow towers, pushed up one by one, and poured onto the city.
At this moment, the besieged city is not only Primonius, several large fortresses and more than a dozen large and small cities on the long defensive line around it have also fallen into the range of being attacked by the army of the undead, and the beacon smoke fills the entire defense line.
But the most important thing is still Primonius, the main force of the army of the undead and the main force of the orc army are piled up here, as long as Primonius falls, the real end of the Holy Sevier Empire is announced, and this is the main battlefield.
A large number of skeleton mages used fireballs to bombard the city walls, and the catapults outside the city also continued to project flaming stones into the city, full of firelight, the sound of fighting, and the surge of extraordinary power.
The skeleton mage wielded sorcery, the extraordinary power of the royal ghoul, the sword light of the Templars above the city, and from time to time saw the walls of the city being blown down, but they were quickly blocked by the spikes and shields that were pushed out of the city, and the sorcerer soldiers went one after another, blocking the army of the undead outside.
-----------
Twenty-three days later, a large number of corpses and skeletons were scattered outside the city, and the corpses were piled up at the foot of the city wall, stacked with thick ladders, and in many places even approached half the height of the tall city wall, and in the cold, they were frozen into pieces of bacon, exuding the smell of evil deeds.
Many of the ruined parts of the city wall were not repaired, and many houses and churches in the city were demolished to block the gaps in the wall, and the corpses dragged down from the city wall would pile up a huge mountain of corpses every day, and the stench of burning could be smelled by the whole of Primonius.
The wind and snow in the sky hung on the city, freezing the entire Primonius like an ice castle, the city was full of wounds, freezing to death and death, and in the distance, there was a continuous news of the fall of the city, and only Primonius and a few small cities were still holding on.
Although the nearly 100,000 defenders in the city and the 100,000 undead army outside the city fought against each other for 23 days, the bad weather and the bonus of the undead in the night and cold weather still made their own casualty ratio far greater than that of the undead army.
This kind of sorcery bonus on the celestial phenomena, although it is not a direct attack, but in this kind of large-scale war, it is far more terrifying than a direct attack, coupled with the tirelessness and death of the undead, the orc defenders are in various dangers, and the city of Primonius has completely fallen into a desperate situation.
And with the continuous build-up of the army of the undead, and the recent gradual reduction in the pace of attacks, everyone in the city knows that the Dead Monarch, who has never participated in a direct attack, will launch a general attack on Primonius.
The whining of the undead bones outside the city sounded again, and all the defenders above the city climbed up as if reflexively, this time the undead army did not attack in the middle of the night, but in the morning.
"Is there a decisive battle?"
"Is the damned Monarch of Death finally going to show up?"
A large number of undead surged up again like a tide, and this time with the undead appeared in the sky, it was a huge black dragon, the black corpse dragon instigated its wings, and its huge wings spread out more than ten meters long, covering a large area of the sky, and appeared in front of everyone.
Vildanti stood on the city wall, and at this moment the armor was all pitted and covered with blood, until yesterday night, Vildanti also fought directly until the retreat of the undead army in the middle of the night, and the unarmed ones guarded the hole in the wall wall with all the soldiers, helping the doctors to treat and bandage the wounds of the wounded.
"Dragon!"
"It's a real dragon!"
"That's not a dragon, it's a corpse dragon, an evil species crawling out of hell, more evil than evil dragons!"
Everyone looked up at the sky, the snow in the sky was not pure white, but a little grayish, and the dark clouds obscured the sun and light in the sky, although it was dawn, but the whole world was dark.
As the corpse dragon landed and appeared in the sky, a large number of wizards and Templars from the Colossus rushed into the sky, and along with Verdanti, they all raised their Templar swords and besieged the Dead Monarch.
As soon as the Monarch of Death pulled the reins, he instantly saw the huge corpse dragon stop in the sky of Primonius, and as the dragon head twisted, he immediately saw the huge mouth open, and the dark clouds in the sky also swirled together.
A huge amount of fire light emerged from the mouth of the corpse dragon, and the corpse dragon that fused with the Death Monarch, at this moment, the dragon's breath had completely transformed from ordinary dragon's breath into extraordinary power, far exceeding its original state.
The huge flame was like a pillar of light, ejecting from the mouth of the corpse dragon, spanning a distance of one or two hundred meters from the sky in an instant, smashing directly on the ground, plowing the ground and destroying a large area of the city wall, and burning the entire ground and the city into an abyss of flames.
A large area of existence besieging towards the Death Monarch was instantly ignited, burned, and scattered into ashes like mosquitoes, and it didn't even have time to scream, and the large number of defenders above the city head were directly turned into ashes.
At this moment, the entire city of Primonius became silent, and the defenders who were originally holding long swords and shields turned pale at this moment, looking at the sky in disbelief.
"What's that?"
"Is this the Monarch of Death?"
"God, how can you allow such evil to exist in the world?"
At this time, the corpse dragon's wings continued to stir, and the black clouds in the sky spun violently together with its movements, and a large number of hailstones and icicles slowly pulled out of the clouds and smashed down towards the ground.
Countless strange-shaped hailstones mixed with the blizzard smashed towards the ground, and the whole world was swept by the wind and snow, and the ice fell all over the sky, and the ice covered a small half of Primonius, and a large number of casualties, so that the defenders above the city could no longer defend themselves.
"Huh?"
The Undead Monarch suddenly let out a question, suddenly turned his head, and looked behind him, a knight who was speeding through the sky, actually dodging the ice and the fire attack of the corpse dragon, and shuttled behind him.
The three-meter-tall Undead Monarch stretched out his hand and grabbed at the other party, the giant claws grabbing towards Verdanti with a thick black mist, but it quickly circled, and the long sword rolled towards the Undead Monarch Chairman with a fierce light.
At this time, the corpse dragon's huge tail whipped Gulai, directly pulling Verdanti into the sky, and then saw the undead monarch wave his hand, and a large ice cube swept towards Verdanti, covering the ground where it fell.
Verdanti's armor was instantly pierced by the ice, covered in blood, unable to stand up for half a day, completely losing its combat effectiveness, and at this moment, countless undead, approaching the collapsed city wall from outside the city, frantically poured into the city, Primonius, has fallen!
Verdanti's face was miserable, and he forced his body against the gap in the city wall, watching the countless undead surging towards him, and shouted in grief and indignation, and roared hoarsely: "Ah! ”
"Is this fate!"
"I don't accept this fate, what is this world?"
"Ahh
"Tell me, tell me! Dad! ”
Countless undead iron horsemen swept towards the collapsed city wall, raised their butcher knives, the orcs have failed, now is the age of the undead, they will sweep the entire northern continent of Alan Continent, turning this place into a complete kingdom.
The Undead Monarch also roared in the sky: "Death is the destination of everything, and the end of the world will begin here!" ”
The soldiers in the city stood up one by one and looked outside, the undead like a tide, approached in front of them, clenched the sword in their hands, and only despair remained on their faces.
The sound of the undead's horns shattered, and a large number of Death Knights and Headless Horsemen rushed into the city with a monstrous monster-like roar.
And at this moment, suddenly, a huge shield was erected along the city wall, and the shield swept up, layer upon layer, directly forming a semicircular shield, protecting the entire city of Primonius and blocking the charge of all the undead.
Countless undead slammed into the shield and were directly disintegrated into powder, and a large number of undead disappeared in an instant, all the undead were at a loss, and even the Dead Monarch didn't understand what was going on?
"What's going on?"
"What is this?"
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were suddenly penetrated, and a huge light dispelled the dark clouds controlled by the corpse dragon, and the sunlight penetrated and shone on Primonius, and the warm touch made everyone feel as if they had seen heaven.
