Chapter 40: The Broken Line of Defense

Help me... Help me... A woman's voice, sounding weak...

Where's this... How is it pitch black... Got dark?

There was a glimmer of light in front of him... It seems that the torches are burning...

Help me...

That woman... The woman in the dream reappeared in front of Aven, clad in broken armor, her hands bound by chains, hanging in the air...

Who are you... What can I do to help you... Feed... Evan yells, only to find that he can't hear his own voice...

Help me... Help me! The picture and sound are getting farther and farther away...

"Aven, Aven?"

"Ahh Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Crridoranff and Benedict are there.

"I knew you were waking up. Leah smiled, just now she saw Evan 's eyes rolling, it should be a dream, so she "fueled the fire" for a while, "Are you okay?"

"Ah, my head!" Ai Wen stroked his forehead, feeling like it was about to explode, and then he tried to stand up, but sat back with an "ouch" sound, "What's wrong with me, why is my body so sore." ”

"Have you forgotten what happened last night?" asked Kridolanf.

"Last night?" Evan thought for a moment, "I seem to be in the testing field with you... And then came out two nasty guys... Later, I can't remember how I could do it later..."

"Can you still stand up? Benedict kindly held out his right hand.

"Thank you. Evan shook his hand and stood up cautiously.

"What does this smell like, you smeared mud on my chest?" he ripped off his clothes and sniffed.

"Oh, this one, it's Blake's green mushroom, last night you were possessed by the Night Charm's spell and overdrew your strength, I applied it to your chest to help you regain your strength. Kritolanf explained.

"Possessed?" "Possessed?" Evan remembered something, and suddenly became impatient, "Where's the sword, where's my sword!"

"Last night it was taken away by Baird and Marcas. Benedict said.

"Kritolanf, why don't you stop them?" the sword was not by his side, and Aven's heart seemed to be taken away from him, and he shouted with some excitement.

"Calm down, Aven. "Temper tantrums won't help you in any way. ”

"Is there anything you can do to help me get it back?" asked Aven.

"Although I know what they are trying to do with the sword, I think it's better not to touch it during this time. Kritolanf lit his cigarette and puffed out the white smoke as if he were thinking about something.

"Why?" Evan desperately wondered what had happened last night.

"It's not your fault, Aven. Benedict reassured, "But you do need to listen to some of the advice that Credoranff has to offer you." ”

"Simply put, you killed someone last night, Aven. Leah said bluntly, a little stiff in her tone.

"Murder?" Evan clutched his head and looked at the crowd in disbelief, he really couldn't remember any memories of last night.

......

Ketran, the eastern wall.

More and more corpses piled up behind him. President Ian's full force didn't hurt him much (negligible).

"Trial... Redemption! Judgment... Redemption!!" Lu kept repeating these two words, and his body was constantly being self-harmed, healed, self-harmed, and healed.

The outermost wall had been taken by Tanatos, and the "coalition forces" were now following the Lun, approaching the other wall step by step.

"No, no, no, I can't hold it!" "Ahhhh Some fell to their deaths, and some were killed on the spot by the enemy after being stabbed several times.

"Boom!" "Boom!" The door of the second wall was wider than the first, but it was also more fragile, and it was torn apart with a "snap" after only a few rounds of heavy impact from the siege vehicles.

"Shoot!" At the sound of the order, the three rows of archers who had been waiting behind the city gate began to shoot in an orderly rotation at the influx of Thanatos soldiers.

A formation of nearly 500 archers unfolded in a semi-circular arc of firing - first the first volley, then retreat to the last row to start loading the bows and arrows, then the second volley, and so on until the arrows ran out or the enemy got too close.

The shields of the soldiers of Tanatos had already been devastated in the battle outside, and in the face of several rounds of intense fire, they lost their protective effect in an instant.

After dozens of soldiers had died, they began to move back, and then more and more skeletons were squeezed out from their sides, and they fought the archers through the rain of arrows without hindrance.

The Nozer marksman, who was not good at close combat, soon fell into a bitter fight, their short swords a little powerless against the fleshless skeletons.

"Snap!" "Snap!" a couple of skeletal monsters on horseback screamed and rushed over (they don't have vocal cords, so they can only make this strange sound, which we can understand as the sound of bones colliding), apparently Celdia's knights, wielding rusty swords in their hands, and a single rise and fall left a long wound in the soft armor of the Nozer archer.

"Retreat to the city!" the city guard retreated into the city in disarray, under the cover of several soldiers. Ian and the other wounded, with the help of others, were taken to the rear of the front for emergency treatment.

The twin walls on the eastern periphery of Cutland had completely fallen.

"Uhhh The soldiers and skeletons stopped their movements and began to form their formations.

"Boom!" "Boom!" One by one, the ballistas passed through the shattered gates and reached the outermost part of the civilian area.

"Ketran... Take the trial!!" Standing at the front of the army, his blood-red eyes wide open, he began the pre-trial reading to the city.

The rain suddenly became a little lighter.
