Chapter 149: The Soul Under the City Gate (2)

Duke and Wesley looked at the scene in front of them and wished they were in a nightmare, and if someone woke him up, they could get rid of the horror, a fleshy skeletal face that could only be seen on a corpse that had been rotting for a long time, and it was placed on the shell of a small child, even a glance was enough to make people cold from the top of their heads to their heels.

But there was a faint tingling sensation on the skin, which was as uncomfortable as a pinprick and really showed that everything in front of me was happening, otherwise there would not have been a nervous twitch like when facing a life-and-death crisis.

And at the moment when everyone was stunned, the small body on the other side jumped somehow, quickly pounced on them, and bit Wesley's arm that was subconsciously blocking in front of him, hanging straight on it, and the chief of the city gate couldn't shake it off no matter how he struggled and screamed.

The other soldiers on the sidelines may have been frightened by the sudden change, and for a moment they didn't know how to step forward to help their commander. And it was Duke who came back to his senses first, because he was the only one present who knew what the glow of the pendant on his waist just now represented, and it was as unforgettable as the original owner of the pendant, the monk who had died in his arms in the wild, and he quickly drew his sword from his waist and rushed towards Wesley, who was constantly struggling.

"Hold your hands up, don't move!" Taking advantage of Wesley's moments when he was stunned by his loud shouting, he raised his sword and cut it along the middle of the child's head hanging on his arm, and after the red, red, green, and green liquid splashed, only half of his head and face were left hanging on the arm in an instant, and Wesley, who was temporarily out of trouble, did not express his due gratitude to this subordinate who had been very valued by himself since he rescued him.

"What are you doing, he's just a ......"

He subconsciously didn't shout the word 'child', at this moment he was not only complaining in his heart that Duke was so reckless, but also thinking about how to end it, because if Duke's previous behavior of abusing the child was only likely to cause public anger, then now the act of killing the child on the spot will cause the refugees to explode and attack in groups.

"Don't be stupid, old stubborn, this little thing is no longer human! This is a living corpse, a man-made product, they are not lying, and the necromancy that has been extinct for many years has reappeared!

Quickly let people control these refugees, since the children are disguised as living corpses, then each of them may be ......" Before the words fell, Duke's eyes widened, as if to verify his words, all the refugees in front of him were not as angry and riotous as Wesley had imagined, but all of them curled up and knelt on the ground like children who had just changed and howled miserably!

"God, where are you?" said with an exclamation of almost despair, Wesley couldn't imagine what kind of situation he and the others would face when these 'men' got up.

"Everyone obeys the order, if you want to live, kill all the refugees immediately, and leave no one behind!" continued to shout and give orders, and the sword in Duke's hand did not stop for a moment and directly slashed at the nearest refugee next to him, and his head fell and rolled on the ground with a muffled sound.

As if inspired by the example or stimulated by the terrifying sight, the soldiers at the city gate who were also outside raised their weapons one after another, but the beginning was not as smooth as before.

Just like corpses, the 'refugees' who got up were not afraid of the knife and axe, and desperately pounced on the nearest target, some of them were decapitated on the spot, and they were pierced through the chest but still relied on the remaining parts of their bodies to collide and tear, although a considerable part of them were cut down, but it also made more than a dozen guards lose the possibility of continuing to participate in the battle under the entanglement.

Anyone with a little discerning knows that according to this kind of battle situation, it must be the guards who will eventually be exhausted, because not only are they far inferior to the enemy in numbers, but even the corpses that have just been killed are now starting to move again as if they are about to be resurrected, and the years of silence have made people almost ignore the 'undead' attribute of necromancer creatures.

"Jay, get down the gates. ”

Wesley regained his determination after a brief period of distraction, which of course had something to do with the fact that he suddenly found some of the corpses and began to rush towards the city gates.

"But boss, what are you going to do!" The guards at the city gate were about to carry out the commander's order, but suddenly they stopped when they thought of something.

"Leave us alone, if we let these things into the city, once the corpse poison spreads, the whole city will be finished. Close the gates quickly, or the military law will deal with ......" After shouting this, Wesley could only concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of him, the arm that had been bitten was now swollen and painful, and he found that the corpse that had just been knocked down seemed to be more fierce after standing up again, and the sword in his hand seemed to be heavier and heavier with the loss of physical strength.

Taking the time to look in the direction of the city gate, his heart sank at the moment, because there was still no sign of the city gate being closed, and several of the corpses of the refugees who rushed to the city gate had already rushed into the area inside the city gate, and he did not believe that the soldiers in the city gate would disobey his orders, so something was delayed.

"Duke!" Fat used his strong body to knock the fangs and claws of the corpse in front of him away, Wesley shouted at Duke not far away, and turned around after the other party noticed it, and the long-term tacit understanding made the eyes meet almost to understand the other party's meaning.

I saw that Duke suddenly threw aside the enemy in front of him and turned around and ran wildly in the direction of the city gate, and the companions around him were not affected by this act as if fleeing for their lives, but instead covered his advance with resolute faces, and even used their bodies to clear the obstacles on the road ahead.

Duke ran all the way but made a sudden stop with a roll near the door, thrust the sword in his hand into the ground, and then pried it again, a cover hidden in the ground was lifted up with dirt, and without hesitation, he grabbed the exposed handle and pulled it out with all his strength, and with the sound of the friction of the chains, the distant city gate was instantly covered by a huge stone slab falling from above, and the two living corpses of the refugees who rushed directly below the door were crushed into meat sauce.

Feeling the ground under his feet, the stone in Wesley's heart also fell to the ground at the same time, but he didn't expect that the emergency backup barrier that was originally intended to prevent the city gate from being broken during the siege actually played a role at this time, but in this way, the lives of these people are bound to be explained here, and the stone gate block that fell as an emergency measure is not designed to be able to open and close freely like the city gate, and naturally it will not be able to get the assistance of the city troops in a short time.

As for relying on these companions outside to defeat these difficult living corpses, looking at the only dozen or so remnants of the surrounding soldiers, Wesley shook his head helplessly, "The crockpot is not broken from the well, and the general's horse leather shroud is still there" There is nothing he can't think about if people must die, and now he is only worried about whether the dozen or so corpses that rushed in just now and the reason why the city gate guards could not close the gate in time will become a factor that endangers the safety of the city, but it should not be a problem to have enough troops in the city to solve this small problem.

Duke smiled helplessly at the re-leaning back, and tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, ready to deal with the next attack.

As time passed, the battle became tense, and when Duke pierced the corpse in front of him with his sword, and saw the other bloody monsters that pounced, Wesley had given up his resistance.

Several sounds of breaking the sky sounded, and a protruding arrow suddenly appeared on top of those disgusting faces, and the corpse, which was still menacing, fell to the ground.

As far as the eye could see, several horses were galloping towards this side from a distance.
