Chapter 404: Bloody Battle, Take Advantage of the Void
The Ghoul King Hotgas personally led an army against Talon County!
As the commander of the Knights of the Silver Hand stationed in the area of Lake Dallon Mill and the banks of the Sodomir River, Davi Clofud also got the news immediately when the Ghoul King Hogus was in action!
You must know that the king of ghouls, Hogus, is the leader of the cataclysmic undead in this area, therefore, Davey Clofed and the king of ghouls can be said to be the two major leaders of this area, if it is only an underground force operation, these two people may not care, after all, this area is not big, but it is not small, there are not a few villages like Dalonjun, but when the ghoul king Hogus, the leader of the scourge army, took matters into his own hands, Davi Clofed also got accurate information at the first time.
In this way, as the supreme commander of the Knights of the Silver Hand in this region, Davey Clofard must go to Daron County for the sake of his beloved hometown - Daron County, or in order to take advantage of this opportunity to behead the Ghoul King, the leader of the Scourge Legion in this region, and win a turnaround for the Knights in this region!
Therefore, at the same time that the Ghoul King Hocus personally led his most elite troops to kill Ben Talon County, Davi Clofed also gathered all the powerful paladins he could muster, and personally led this army all the way to Hoguse, one step ahead of Hogus, and came to Daron County!
After meeting Joseph Redpass, and the two childhood friends did not have a pleasantry, Davey told Joseph the news that the ghoul king Hoggus had personally led the army of the undead to kill him, and the sturdy knight's face had not changed. But in those eyes. But a flash of despair!
Unlike Davey Cloverd. Although Joseph is strong, he and a small group of Paladins of the Silver Hand Knights stationed in the village have repelled the attacks of the undead who have annihilated five natural disasters in a row, but in the process, he has realized how bad the situation is!
As the head of the militia in Talonshire, Joseph was also the most powerful man in the village, so he was naturally not like the others. I only saw the victory of repelling the undead of the scourge again and again. What he saw was that these five attacks of the Cataclysmic Legion were stronger than the other, and the Silver Hand Knights still had reinforcements in the first three times, but when they arrived at this Zuihou twice, the reinforcements of the Silver Hand Knights were gone.
For others, this is not a big deal, but for Joseph Redpass, who guards Talon County, it is the most important thing!
Joseph knows to no one that this part of the county is now Talonshire. The Supreme Commander in charge of fending off the Scourge is David Clofed of the Knights of the Silver Hand, who is also a native of Daron County. is also his childhood friend, it can be said that even if there are no reinforcements elsewhere, there will definitely be here in Talonjun!
Then, now there are no reinforcements from the Silver Hand Knights in Talon County, so it can only mean one thing - the whole battle situation has become so bad that even Dawei can't send people to support Talon County!
Sure enough, when Joseph saw Davi again, Davi told him a more serious situation, the leader of the Scourge's legion, the ghoul king Hogus, personally led the undead legion to kill here, and although Davi also led the army to stop it, he obviously saw that the number of troops led by Dawei was not large, although it may be that these people are all strong people, but Joseph clearly sensed that among these troops, the highest strength was his old friend Dawei, At most, the others were about the same as the small group of paladins stationed in the village.
How could such a bad situation not cause a trace of despair to rise in Joseph's heart?
Sure enough, the development of the battle situation was as Joseph expected, when the ghoul king Hogus personally led the army to arrive, the ghoul king actually surrounded Dalong County, and used the huge Scourge Legion to make the entire Dalon County a flood, and then began the Scourge Legion's best tactics of crowds, using the cheapest and scummy undead creatures to impact the defense circle of Talon County, although these undead could not even reach five in combat power one by one, but the number of these undead was too much, and it was all over the mountainsWhen the paladins of the Silver Hand Knights guarding in Talon County, as well as the Talon County militia led by Joseph, they finally killed a wave of undead, but in the blink of an eye, a second wave of even more undead was killed......
The undead creatures are tireless, have no fear, and do not know how to retreat, therefore, they are like ocean waves, constantly attacking, and these paladins and militia guarding the battle of Dalong County are living people, their flesh and blood are still tired, therefore, they have to shrink the defensive circle, and in this way, as the undead creatures continue to attack, the defensive circle of Dalong County is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the weary paladins and militiamen retreated to the entrance to the village of Talonshire, they stopped, gritted their teeth and fought to the death against these undead creatures......
They can't retreat anymore, and if they retreat, they will retreat into the village of Talon County, which is tantamount to letting these Scourge Legions enter Talon County, which is not only a great shame, but also exposes the unarmed civilians of Talon County to the butcher's knife of the Scourge Legion!
As these tireless undead creatures continued to rush and kill, both the paladins of the Silver Hand and the Talon County militia led by Joseph began to show casualties, and, as time went on, the casualty numbers grew like a snowball, Joseph saw the militia around him who had been taught by his own hands, the men of Talon County that he knew all too well, fearlessly resisting the cold, pale skeletons, filthy and foul-smelling ghouls who had no sense at all, although their will was firm, The fighting spirit was still boiling, but their bodies could not keep up with their will, and finally they died a tragic death under the rusted and broken knives of those white skeletons and the sharp claws of ghouls......
Joseph saw his old friend Davy walking to the entrance of the village, shouting loudly that the king of ghouls, Hogus, was going to fight to the death with the leader of the Scourge Legion, and the despair in his heart increased again, Joseph knew that his old friend, if there was a glimmer of hope, he would not act like this, because, everyone knows that although the Scourge Legion is terrible, it is not without weaknesses, and it must be that most of these Scourge Legions are not sane or have low sanity, and must be led by elites at the leader level, Otherwise, this Scourge Legion will slowly collapse without fighting, so the decapitation tactics of directly killing the leader are particularly useful to the Scourge Legion, but because of this, the Scourge Legion has also learned to be obedient after repeated decapitation tactics, and now the elite undead at the level of the King of Ghouls are extremely strong, and it is not so easy to use the decapitation tactics.
Even Joseph knew such information, let alone Davey Clofard.
But Davy still has to fight to the death with the king of ghouls, Hogus, this is not a decapitation tactic, this is simply Davi wants to drag the king of ghouls Hogus to die together, so that the Scourge Legion loses its leader, thus collapsing, and on the side of Dalong County, even if Davy dies by himself, there is Joseph in the village, and he can still organize an effective defense, and under the influence of the other, Dalong County will be saved in the attack of the Scourge Legion!
It's just that Dawei was wrong!
Or rather, Davey is too idealistic, too simplistic!
Because, although this time it was the Ghoul King Hogus who personally led the army to attack, but in this Scourge Legion, there is not only one leader of the Ghoul King Hogus, there is another leader, he is the Death Knight - Maduk in Black!
Unlike the murderous, irascible but simple-minded ghoul king Hogus, the Death Knight Black-clad Marduk is insidious and cunning, he does not participate in the attack, but has been using the cover of undead creatures, and after carefully observing this small village the size of a sesame mung bean that has blocked five attacks by the Scourge Legion, he finally set his sights on Joseph......
