19: Immortality is coming
"Dangdang~"
Before the proceedings in the palace were over, the sound of an alarm bell suddenly sounded outside.
Zhi Jiang jumped up and looked at the dark sky outside the window with a serious face. As soon as he grabbed his sword, put on his armor, and prepared to go out.
Chen Longshi also realized what was happening and said, "Is there a monster attacking?" ”
"Yes, the bell is nine long and one short, indicating that there are a lot of monsters attacking. Sir, let's take a rest first, and Zhijiang will go out and have a look. ”
Chen Longshi said: "Has the princess forgotten what I said just now?" Give people hope for this kind of thing, sooner rather than later, why not start now. ”
The city was brightly lit, and a thousand meters outside the city was a forest, and it was crowded with people. If you have good eyesight, you can even easily see ghostly fires floating out of the cracks in your helmet.
This time is obviously different from the previous rangers, there is a general-level monster known as the "Dry Bone General" personally leading the army, and the subordinate monsters include undead knights, undead swordsmen, undead archers, and barbarian axemen forming a queue, waiting for the attack order.
Among them, the barbarian axemen are not undead creatures, but a new force under the rule of the king of Chu as a vassal race when the king of Chu conquered the barbarians in the mountains. But it's not much different from undead monsters, they are born with negative energy in their bodies, and teaming up with dead beings can boost their power, and they have a violent temperament and are bloodthirsty and easy to kill.
Humans fight undead monsters, and at best, they die. Fighting against the barbarians, even if the dead corpse may become food for the barbarians. The most terrifying thing is that the barbarian witch has all kinds of weird abilities, which makes people unguardable.
After years of fighting undead monsters, fear and hatred have long been imprinted in everyone's heart. Now that the monster is attacking again, the people in the city are nervous, and a black cloud is pressing on everyone's hearts.
Zhi Jiang took Chen Longshi to the city tower and asked a majestic figure standing at the head of the city who was nearly two meters tall, "General Ji Bu, how is the situation now?" ”
"Princess Hui, this time it is the leader of the dry bones, bringing at least three hundred undead monsters and hundreds of barbarians. Right now, they are assembling under the city, besieging but not attacking, and they don't know what they are planning. ”
Zhi Jiang frowned and looked at it for a while, but he didn't know the point, and advised: "Dry bones are scheming, don't be careless." Have spies been sent to patrol the perimeter? ”
"At this time, it is very unfavorable to go out of the city to investigate. What's more, the figure of the barbarian witch was found among the barbarians, and sending spies was equivalent to sending them to death, so they were not sent. ”
Chen Longshi reminded: "Four hundred monsters are enough to form a small battle. The city is heavily defended, and it cannot be attacked by force alone, for fear that they will burrow into the ground, poison, and set fire, and the barbarians are the best at this. ”
"Your Excellency doesn't have to worry about that."
Suddenly there was a response from behind him. Ou Lian, who had a cold and arrogant face, appeared on the head of the city with his whole body in armor, "Almost everyone in the city is a soldier, and the slightest movement will cause a chain reaction, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is impregnable." ”
"Really? That's it. Chen Longshi just smiled at the young swordsmith in a friendly manner, not caring at all.
Seeing this situation, Zhijiang frowned directly, but she was helpless. You can't reprimand the backbone of the city one after another for a stranger. Asked Chen Longshi: "Mr. just said that I want to give everyone hope." Don't know if you have a plan? ”
"My plan is very simple, send an elite force out of the city to rush and kill for a while, fight with your back to the city wall, even if you are defeated, there is a way back."
"Ridiculous."
Ji Bu was the first to veto this proposal, "Undead monsters are endless, and even if they cut off their heads, they can be resurrected again quickly." Needless consumption is meaningless. Otherwise, with the elite forces in the city, the tomb of the king of Chu would have been bulldozed long ago. ”
Ou Lian said: "I appreciate this plan very much, the undead monster can indeed be resurrected, but it is not without a price. If you defend for a long time, you will lose, and blindly defending will even lose the morale of the soldiers, which is not a way after all. They will come and kill as many as they want, until they can no longer sustain the cost of resurrection. ”
"Reckless words."
Ji Bu shouted: "No one knows how many undead monsters have been produced in the tomb of King Chu over the years. But my town Wangcheng really can't afford to consume, take human lives to fill it, and you Ou Lian can say it. Is it true that undead monsters are muddy? Are not your brothers and sisters standing on the wall? ”
Ou Lian frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "The general knows that Lian doesn't mean this. Lian just felt that he couldn't fight a protracted battle with the tomb of the King of Chu. Recently, the situation has become more and more severe, and the behavior of these undead monsters is even more strange. Rather than boiling a frog in warm water and slowly grinding to death, it is better to fight to the death as if it were home. ”
"You're saying we're afraid of death!"
“…… The general misunderstood, and Lian had no such intention. ”
"Hmph, I don't approve of this kind of reckless remarks anyway."
The two of them insisted on their own words, and immediately argued.
Zhi Jiang's green fingers rubbed his forehead, raised his hand and stopped: "Okay, needless to say, I already have a plan." General Jibu, quickly ask Yafu to go to the city wall to preside over the overall situation. You personally organize an elite cavalry army and go out of the city with us to fight. ”
Ji Bu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Zhijiang.
"I did it for a reason. During the day, we just went to the depths of the tomb of the king of Chu to explore, and at night they counterattacked back, so the startled reaction did not quite look like their style. Maybe our actions during the day touched their bottom line, or maybe it was something else......" said and deliberately glanced at Chen Longshi, who was calmly watching, "In short, tonight can't be good, let's get ready for battle." ”
"No."
Ji Bu took the order, and Zhi Jiang walked up to Chen Longshi and said solemnly: "Please sir." ”
"The princess is polite, it is also my task to kill demons and eliminate demons."
He suddenly admired this woman who was not tall and had a weak physique, who carried the fate of the people of a city on her shoulders with a thin body of less than two years. This perseverance alone is not comparable to ordinary people.
An army of 100 elite knights was quickly organized, and Chen Longshi put on their armor for the first time.
Bright armor and silver spear, heroic and extraordinary, if you only talk about the image, he deserves to be the first in the whole army, even Zhijiang can't help but look at him a few more times.
Chen Longshi felt her gaze and smiled at Zhijiang.
Zhi Jiang smiled generously in response and nodded. She didn't have any other thoughts, because she had already decided to dedicate her life to Zhenwang City, and the reason why she looked at it a few more times was just to express her appreciation for beautiful things.
But all this fell into Ou Lian's eyes, and it was inevitable that he would be a little more blind, and his heart would not be beautiful in an instant.
Chen Longshi ignored the others, and was now excited by the nearly two-meter-high war horse under the seat. These war horses are obviously modified war horses, bone spurs and scarlet eyes are the characteristics of undead monsters, but there is no restlessness at all.
Such a well-trained war horse is enough to control it even if it is not good at riding. He even felt the fluctuation of star power from these war horses, and couldn't help but move in his heart: "Could it be a star pet?" ”
The riders crept out of the side door and circled along the side of the woods.
Several barbarian axe warriors were patrolling the edge of the nearby river, and in the middle of a large group of barbarian warriors, there was a short, full-body man, wearing a red cloak and a green fluorescent skull scepter, who was spilling something by the river.
"It's not good, these barbarians are poisoning the river." Jibu let out a low sigh.
Zhi Jiang's face changed, and he suddenly shouted: "Kill!" ”
With only 30 barbarian warriors and barbarian witches, and the terrain is open, it is definitely impossible to withstand the onslaught of a hundred horsemen. But this war, on the other hand, he didn't want to hide from the dry bones general in front.
Chen Longshi was mixed in the middle of the team, not counting the front and not the back.
When Ji Bu, who rushed to the front, raised his long knife and was about to behead a blind barbarian, he was preempted by a small flying knife.
The flying knife flew out strangely, piercing the throat of the barbarian warrior with great speed, and black rotten blood shot out, and the barbarian warrior shook a few times before falling into the river.
"Buzz~" The flying knife is unabated, whistling and whistling.
For a while, the audience was filled with the sharp chirp of throwing knives flying at high speed. Such a strange method surprised everyone. If they hadn't known that it was the mysterious demon slayer in the team, they would have been tied.
Zhi Jiang shouted, "Good opportunity, rush to kill." Watch out for the Witch movements. ”
After entering the secret realm, Chen Longshi was finally able to exert his motivation without reservation and heartily.
The barbarian witch raised his skull and bone staff, and muttered a word of shouting, and the barbarian warriors who were suddenly attacked and beaten quickly calmed down, and quickly raised their axes and threw them at the knights.
The flying axe whined, and several riders fell off the horse on the spot.
Most of them were knocked away by the soldiers with their weapons, and the smashed hand axes completely violated the laws of physics and flew back into the hands of the barbarian warriors after circling in the air in a circle.
This greatly hindered the knights' charge, and the end of the barbarian witch staff suddenly emitted a green light, enveloping each barbarian warrior, forming a special aura.
Shrouded in aura, the barbarian warrior screamed as if he had taken a stimulant.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Longshi rode his horse and rushed over, piercing the chests of the two barbarians with a single shot, stringing them high.
The barbarian warrior's vitality was extremely strong, and his mouth and nose flowed out of his mouth and nose, and thick water came out of his chest. But even such a blow could not kill them immediately, and the vultures tried to throw the small axe at him, but they were frozen in the air.
Then the spears flicked, and they were torn apart entirely.
Even more ferocious than Chen Longshi are Ji Bu and Ou Lian, Ji Bu's body is tall and strong, and his strength is infinite, and a hammer-headed heavy weapon is like a meat grinder in his hand, invincible. Ou Lian held a long sword in his hand, and his swordsmanship was so good that each sword spilled out sharp sword qi, tearing the earth apart directly. The sword was so sharp that even the axe was split in two.
With these murderous guys opening the way, the barbarian warriors were extinguished as soon as they got up, and with another wave of sprints, they lost their last ability to resist, and they were quickly slaughtered.
The barbarian witch, who had lost his protection, retreated in panic and was slashed to the head by Zhijiang with a sword. In a hurry, the barbarian witch took a bone staff in his hand, and a green light shield protected it, but this was just a stubborn resistance.
Ji Bu jumped up and slammed his hammer under the mask, which shattered in response. The hammer was castrated, and the whole witch was pounded from head to toe.
Zhi Jiang ordered: "Escort the wounded soldiers back to the city, and the rest of the people quickly clean up the battlefield." ”
Chen Longshi walked to the corpse of the barbarian witch, shook his head regretfully, and nothing exploded.
