Chapter 41: The God of Death
Cherono II, leading the army of the whole city, marched mightily towards the south of the empire.
On the barren land, the incomparably majestic and tall fan-shaped city walls stand unevenly on the earth.
Countless undead are clinging to the city walls, fighting with the army of the Cheruno Empire.
However, most of the people who participated in the construction were the subjects of the Empire, and how could they be the opponents of these bloodthirsty and brutal undead without formal military training.
Countless people roared and fell high from the city walls, and their defensive lines were being crumbled inch by inch by the army of the undead.
"General, retreat quickly, if you don't retreat, you will all die!" a soldier with a bloody face was dragging a general and pleading.
Although the general was covered with wounds, the fighting spirit on his face did not diminish in the slightest, and he shook off the soldier's dragging hand and shouted at him: "Retreat? Where to retreat? Once this place is captured, it will be completely gone! Resist me and defend this place to the death!"
The soldier gritted his teeth and slammed his fist into the ground.
yes, where else can they retreat!
However, the army of the undead is pouring in front of him, and it is only a matter of time before he swallows them.
Just as the offensive of the army of the dead intensified and was about to completely strangle the remnants of the Cherino Empire, the reinforcements led by Ceruno II finally arrived.
"Kill me!"
At the sound of an order, the regular army of the Cheruno Empire, no less than 50,000, rushed into the tide of the army of the undead.
Ceruno II was brave, the sword in his hand dancing up and down, and the sharp sword frantically harvested the heads of the undead.
He waved his hand and slammed it into the ground, and a strange golden pagoda rose from the ground.
In an instant, a group of phantom soldiers wearing golden light armor and holding long contradictory crossbows appeared out of thin air, shouting and rushing into the ranks of the army of the undead.
At the same time, the soldiers near this pagoda were all fighting high, and their combat effectiveness soared, and they cooperated with this phantom team to defeat the undead army in front of them.
"Holy Monument" is the triumph of Ceruno II, as soon as the Holy Monument appears, he can summon twenty Phantom Warriors to help him fight, and the surrounding allies will be protected by the blessing of the Holy Monument, and their combat effectiveness and defense will be greatly increased.
The troops, who had been struggling to support and had long lost hope, suddenly became agitated when they saw their majesty on the battlefield in person, completely suppressing the previous arrogance of the undead army.
The battle lasted for several hours, and in the end, the Cheruno Empire successfully forced back this army of more than 100,000 undead at the cost of losing more than 10,000 soldiers.
However, just when Ceruno II thought it was finally over, the turn of events happened again.
"Your Majesty, look. ”
Just as Ceruno II was staring at the army of the undead who were struggling to evacuate in the distance, a soldier suddenly shouted, and everyone's eyes instantly looked in the direction of the gates of hell.
"Bang dang!"
At this glance, the sword in the hand of Ceruno II was shocked and fell off.
I saw that dozens of kilometers away from the fortifications, a huge black shadow, like a demon from hell who had just woken up from a deep sleep, climbed up from the gate of hell.
At the same time, countless undead troops, like a king in their arms, escorted it towards this place step by step.
Everyone was stunned.
Looking at this figure as tall as an ancient ruin, I was completely stupid.
The height of the ancient ruins was not much shorter than the walls they were on now, in other words, the figure was more than ten meters tall.
"Roar!"
The roar that shook the sky squeezed the wind and raged towards everyone.
Looking at the huge figure in the sky, leading the army of the undead to attack again like a flood, Ceruno II was completely desperate.
The soldiers around him were already in a mess, and Selby tugged at his clothes with a confused expression, desperately shouting "Your Majesty, go quickly!", but he turned a deaf ear.
Or rather, he couldn't hear it at all.
Ceruno II looked at the sword at his feet, and he wanted to pick it up, but his knees were so stiff that he couldn't bend them.
The world around him suddenly went blank, and all I could hear was my panicked heart, pounding against my chest uneasily, as if it might pop out at any moment.
This time, for the first time, the army of the Cheruno Empire retreated without a fight, and a large number of generals threw away their armor and fled to the empire crying, leaving only a group of loyal and dead men, still guarding the side of Ceruno II, not leaving an inch.
After a long time, when Ceruno II came to his senses, he found that the huge black shadow like a mountain had rushed to them with an army of undead.
The heartfelt general beside Ceruno II, Serbi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have always dared not say a word to you before, and if I don't say it now, I am afraid that I will not have a chance, I have always liked His Majesty's sister, if I can go back alive this time, I must marry her." ”
Ceruno II laughed dryly, he tried his best to suppress the despair in his eyes, and smiled at Serby as if nothing had happened: "Okay, I'll help you prepare for the wedding tonight." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The next moment, following Cerino II, there were less than 5,000 soldiers left, and they rushed towards the mighty army of the undead in front of them.
The dozens of magicians who remained, including Ceruno II, each performed all their stunts and launched a round of bombardment against the huge black shadow.
However, the gap is too great.
The roar of the huge black shadow easily crushed the charge of the soldiers, and its arms, like the great axe of the mountain, chopped through the hard work of the Cheruno Empire for several years, and completely wiped out their last hope.
Ceruno II, along with the overturned walls, fell from a height.
The surrounding area was filled with the sound of the collapse of the city wall, and the cries of countless soldiers for help.
Covered in blood, he stood up from the ground, but found that all his troops had been strangled by the other party, and he was the only one left, alone in the face of the entire army of the undead and the terrifying huge black shadow.
Limping, he walked up to a soldier who had long since died, gently closed his eyes with his hand, and then drew his weapon and slammed the knife down his throat.
Although Ceruno II was defeated, he would not allow his life to be desecrated by the filthy spirits of the dead before him.
However, just as his sword slashed through the skin of his throat, an undead spirit had already drawn his bow and rose up, and the bloody bone arrow violently shook his sword away.
A huge black shadow, with a piledriver-like pace, approached Ceruno II step by step.
Looking at each other so closely, the tall body of the black shadow, the fierce momentum above all things, actually forced Ceruno II to retreat again and again.
This black shadow, covered in black mist, carrying three pairs of dark wings, is like a fallen angel from hell, shaking the heavens.
The black shadow looked down at him, and then said lightly: "You should not refuse my master's request, now, you can only become a puppet of my god of death." ”
The black shadow leaned down, its huge sharp mouth opening in the air, draining all of Cherono II's life force in an instant.
Quickly weathered into a dry mummy, Cerano II collapsed and died completely.
The guy in front of him, who calls himself the "God of Death", is the doomsday messenger resurrected by the black lifeform with his own origin power, but this doomsday messenger has lost his original appearance and has become a puppet of the black lifeform.
The god of death looked at the Cherono Empire not far away, he could have led this army of the undead and easily captured the entire Cairno Empire, but he did not do so, but glanced at the corpse of Cairono II on the ground with a little purpose, and then led the army of the undead to turn away.
The vast earth fell silent again.
The defensive wall, which was once a magnificent wall, has now become a pile of ruins, erected there in twos and threes, and from time to time there is a fall of rubble, causing a burst of dust.
The ground was covered with bloody corpses, and the strong smell of blood completely overshadowed the smoke of gunpowder in the field.
I don't know how long it took, but a small group of soldiers rushed back from the periphery with a cower.
After they saw the god of death leading the army of the undead to retreat, they immediately turned around and came back to patrol.
"Hurry up and find out Your Majesty for me, quick!"
A soldier at the head of the team commanded the team.
The current Cheruno Empire can be left without anyone, but His Majesty must keep it, otherwise it will be a very fatal blow to the morale of the entire empire.
Just as the whole team was searching for the sea of corpses, a soldier suddenly shouted, "Captain, there is a situation here!"
When everyone heard the voice, they hurried here.
I saw a pair of rotting and bloody hands that were dry to the skin and bones, trembling and lifted up from the pile of corpses.
Everyone was frightened, and they clenched their weapons tightly, ready to attack at any time.
However, when they saw the owner of the bloody hands, they were stunned, "This is... Is this Your Majesty?"
I saw a corpse-like ghost, dressed in the clothes of Ceruno II, sitting up from the ground with difficulty, one hand still beckoning to them, and his mouth was hesitant, as if he was crying for help.
These soldiers were extremely sure that this man was dressed exactly like His Majesty Ceruno II, but the other man's appearance was really unacceptable to them.
The captain at the head pushed his subordinates next to him, "Go, put... Lift your majesty up for me. ”
When the soldier heard this, his face turned pale with fright, "Captain, why me?"
The captain raised the blade in his hand, pretended to be a chop, and roared at him, "If you don't go, I'll kill you now." ”
The soldier swallowed and walked up.
Just as the soldier trembled and walked up to Ceruno II, Ceruno, like a mad wild dog, jumped up from the ground without warning, and bit the soldier on the neck.
"Ahh
The miserable cries rang out one after another.
