Chapter 56: The King of the Hill
The situation in the palace was very urgent, and although the king's guards were composed of first-class masters from various countries, they could only show off their majesty when facing ordinary sergeants, mercenaries, and low-level professional masters. But at the moment, they are no match for these top human masters.
Although some of the top masters were summoned during the previous raid on Marfa Xingge, now that the battle was over, what was left was no longer enough to deal with another full attack.
"It seems that today we are afraid that we will be less lucky!I never thought that I would die at the hands of these old fellows..."Tyrenus of the Storm Kingdom was very emotional. These old guys are the glory of the Storm Kingdom, that is, their efforts from generation to generation, the Elven Academy has continued to this day, and has created the strongest strength of the Storm Kingdom in the human kingdom!
But who would have thought that the ancestors who had always been proud of the Storm Kingdom might now be the creators of the Storm Kingdom's downfall.
Terenus himself had just taken over the throne and was still thinking of showing his ambitions, but soon after taking office, he encountered a large-scale gathering of orcs, and the invasion was imminent. However, this is not unlucky, who would have thought that in the Elven Academy of the Storm Kingdom, this place that is admired by the world, there is a huge army of undead hidden underneath it! And the most unacceptable thing is that the necromancer is the mentor who single-handedly created the Elven Academy - Marfa Xingge!
Although because of the needs of political propaganda, in order to promote the greatness of human heroes, it is sometimes necessary to distort reports and propaganda on the elves! However, many people in the human race are still grateful in their hearts, otherwise the name 'Elven Academy' would not have been retained.
"The Undead Havoc, they are more dangerous than the Orc invasion! Look at the scale of today, it's a little bit worse than the end of our human history!" "Ryan, the king of the Northern Kingdom, has seen the power of the Undead Havoc. After killing an enemy, the undead will quickly transform the former enemy into their own undead soldiers. The orcs are just as dangerous, but they still have casualties and attrition, and the army of the undead is snowballing bigger and bigger!
"We have fewer and fewer warriors that we can really fight for, and they're just a few fewer people... I, we are no match for them!We must find a way before we are completely defeated, even if it is just to preserve our strength!" Fick Lauren, the king of the kingdom of Locke, had already received an arrow, and was still standing strong by the side of the kings to encourage and cheer up the warriors of his country.
At this time, listening to the words of their own king, a sense of sorrow rose in the hearts of all the warriors of the Rock Kingdom! Everyone is not a rookie who has just learned magic and blood, and everyone already has an answer in their hearts about what kind of monster is the opponent. Today's battle has no chance of victory at all, at most it is just a few more moves under the enemy's sword!
The king's prince has returned to the country through the magic teleportation circle, and instead of deserting, he has returned to dispatch troops and check the existence of necromancers in the kingdom. At times like these, it takes far more courage to leave and live than to die in battle. No one wants to be a deserter, but for the sake of the kingdom's tomorrow, someone must bear this stigma!
"Don't be afraid of my friend, I'm sure we'll survive this disaster safely!" the dwarf, who had always had a weak sense of presence, stepped forward. At this time, it was none other than Dross Brutehammer, the leader of the Brute Hammer clan, one of the Three Dwarven Councils, who spoke!
The three dwarves have just experienced a civil war, and if it weren't for the orc invasion this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to sign a peace agreement smoothly! Having just ended a civil war that lasted for several years, the dwarves are now extremely weak, and even in the face of the orc invasion, they can only send 10,000 soldiers to participate in the war!
I never thought that the fate of the dwarves would finally turn around in Storm City today!
Dross Brute Hammer took the swarthy quadrangular hammer from his own captain's guard, which had followed him for decades and fought countless bloody battles, and walked out of the crowd!
Although Dross Hammer is a head shorter than the human kings around him, his back is extremely tall at this time. There was not a trace of fear in the bearded face of Dross Brutehammer, and the steely eyes that pierced the hearts of the people, as they swept over each of them, they suddenly felt that the fear in their hearts was disappearing, and with it the heroism of fighting to the end.
"Warriors, I, Dross Hammer, swear by here. The Hammer Dwarves will not be involved in civil wars in the future! Today we will regain the glory of the Dwarves and restore the glory of the King of the Hill! Madolan Copperbeard, Prince Thorrisen, if any of us survives today, he will be the Lord of the Dwarves, the new King of the Hills! Do you have any objections!"If it weren't for the invasion of the Orcs, the Dwarves would not have signed an agreement so quickly! Although the Dwarves ended the civil war with the mediation of the humans, there was still a clear gap between them. This also led to mutual suspicion between the two tribes over the issue of sending troops, and everyone was unwilling to do their best to deal with this orc crisis. However, on this day, when the life and death of the race really came, Dross Brute Hammer suddenly had an epiphany.
Since the death of the previous Dwarven King, the Three Tribes have claimed to be the successor of the King of the Hill.
So many years have passed, so many people have died. It's time to let go of selfish desires, and if this kind of infighting continues, the dwarves will be destroyed!
When Dross Hammer said those words, he was ready to die. No matter who the other two are the king of the dwarves, with their own words today, they will not treat their tribe badly!
"The Copperbeard Clan responds and swears the same!" "Madolan Copperbeard also stepped forward as the leader of the Copperbeard Clan!
"We Black Iron Dwarves also keep our promises and swear an oath!But I don't think we're all going to die today, I don't want to share the throne with the two of you!Allies of the human race, witness that whoever kills the most enemies today of the three of us will be the new King of the Hill!" After saying that, Prince Thorrisen didn't wait for the other two dwarven leaders to nod, and he had already used his two axes and rushed into the battle circle of the undead legion!
"One, two, three..."After Prince Thorrison rushed out of the battle circle, he opened his bow left and right and cut off the heads of three undead in an instant!
However, as Prince Thoresen charged and killed several of his enemies, his body was also changing. The black iron dwarf with a dark body began to turn white at this time, and his skin became a little petrified with its battle intent!
"Ding..."There was a loud metal crash!
In the Legion of the Undead, the warrior who had slashed the King's Guard the most just now slashed at Prince Thoresson on the shoulder with his sword.
But at this time, Prince Thorrisen's whole body was almost turned white, and at this time, he was like a human-shaped diamond in the sun, extremely dazzling!
"This is the power of the earth of the dwarves-petrified form?" A human guard looked at the dwarf's strange glowing skin in surprise and quietly asked his companions!
"Yes, it's in petrified form!But I've heard that when a dwarf performs this trick, his life will come to an end!It won't be long before his blood runs dry, and his whole body turns into a shiny stone statue!" The older human soldier spoke with a serious look of respect!
Seeing that Prince Thorisen, who was the most greedy for power, actually fought for his own life as soon as he made a move, the sudden change made the other two dwarves horrified!
"Madolan Copperbeard, the fate of the dwarves is up to you. Go back alive and lead the dwarves back to the glory of the King of the Hill!" Seeing Prince Thorison fighting with his life, Dross Brutehammer's heart suddenly became more excited than he had ever been!
"Don't—" Just when Madolan Copperbeard knew what he was going to do and hurriedly stopped him. Dross Brutehammer's skin suddenly turned from red to white!
"Great human allies, we have no choice between life and death today, if we fail today, the undead legion will be even stronger, and then there will probably be no one in the human world who can resist him anymore. Once humanity falls, so will the dwarves, for tomorrow, for the sake of our children and grandchildren, and for the future - let's fight together!" shouted Dross Hammer with a fluttering arm, but turned to look at Prince Thoresson who was enjoying the final battle!
"9, 10... Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've had this pleasure! There was not the slightest fear of imminent death on Prince Thorrisson's face. On the contrary, he now finally understands his duty as a dwarf who has inherited the will of the King of the Hill - ready to give his life for his allies, for his family, and for his people!
"Warriors of the Humans, how can we lag behind the drunken dwarves!Whoever the enemy in front of you is, kill them all and then we drink and celebrate at night, so that the dwarves can see if our human wine is good or their sweet and sour 'juice' is good!" Inspired by the dwarves' desperate battle, Ryan, the king of the Northern Kingdom, also pulled out his waist, and the sword of the king, which had never been stained with blood, rushed forward under the escort of the guards!
"Kill..."These people, who had already reached the end of their rope just now, suddenly burst out with the last battle intent under the encouragement of the dwarf! This change made Marfa Xingge frown!
"It's just a little more struggle, and in the end it's not like I'm not going to become my undead slave!"
However, just when Marfa Xingge thought that it would only take a little more time to finish, a group of hundreds of heavy cavalry suddenly came out in the northeast direction.
The cavalry rushed straight from the side gate of the palace!
"Raise your gun..."The charge at the front of this cavalry line was actually Sarah Berg!
Although the roads in the palace were narrow and full of curves, the kings were fighting in a place where there was enough space for the hoplites to charge over a short distance!
Hearing Sarah Berg's order, all the hoplites who were reuniting raised their six-meter-long spears horizontally.
"It's just the right time!All Light Priests shield the cavalry!All archers suppress each other's mages!Don't give them a chance to look up!" Ben Kingsley didn't want the opposing mages to come and destroy the heavy cavalry with an AOE.
80 meters, 50 meters, 20 meters...
