Chapter 19: Grantham (2)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Unlike the ordinary wandering small groups of undead, large-scale gatherings must be commanded by corpse witches or even lichs, and as a high-level undead transformed by a powerful mage, it is impossible for even a three-headed synthetic beast to stop it.

In Alex's opinion, these dragoons must have been deliberately released to escape, and the purpose was to use these escaped scouts to find the Watch Fort. The wilderness is vast, and the low-level undead are empty shells with no self-awareness, and even if the ground is stamped with the footprints of retreating wheels, they don't understand the purpose of these traces. Once the distance of 100 meters is exceeded, the ability to perceive living creatures will decrease, and if the scouts are not used, the army will have already withdrawn by the time the high-level undead themselves appear in their own way.

That's why Alex angrily scolded the soldiers who rushed back desperately, not only did they not help the large army, but they would expose the location of the Watch Fort.

The team hastened its retreat, Link helped the wounded scout to watch the carriages pass by, everyone with trepidation and worry written on their faces, but no one came to take the seriously wounded soldier away.

Alex rode back and saw that Link was still where he was, so he said coldly, "You'd better put him down." ”

"He needs treatment. ”

"We only have a doctor, no priest, and we can't heal such a serious injury, and he is wounded by the undead, and it is only a matter of time before the corpse becomes a corpse. ”

"But ......" Link didn't finish his words, and the team behind exploded, the screams of women and girls and the voices of soldiers assembling orders were intertwined, Alex didn't care about Link, and rode his horse to the back.

Through the crooked gap in the ranks, Link sees the source of fearβ€”the undead. Dozens of skeleton knights rode scrawny black horses, leaving flaming footprints on the muddy road.

Death Knight?!

Link glanced down at the scout, and if it was the return of light or if his prayers had really worked, the young soldier's face began to flush and his spirits were much better than when he first landed.

"Let's go. Leave me alone......" The young man, who was less than twenty years old, reached out and nudged Link, telling him to leave quickly.

Feeling the slight tremor of the soldier's hands, Link didn't move, he turned his head to look at the back of the group, Alex was rallying the cavalry in a loud voice, and the horses were lined up under the drive of the knights. Behind the infantry and fleeing civilians.

"I'll leave the rear to you. Alex put his hand on his chest, clasped it heavily, and turned his horse's head to keep up with the infantry, who had withdrawn some distance.

"Cavalry regiment, charge!"

The cavalry raised two meters of heavy cavalry spears, and hundreds of horses trampled on the ground with a sound no less than a roaring flood.

"Don't go...... It's too late......" The scout's voice was drowned out by the shouts of cavalry charges, and Link watched as hundreds of horsemen rushed towards the Death Knight, who was less than a hundred.

One of the undead at the front pulled out the sword at his waist, and the nightmare brushed to a halt, and then at the same time raised his upper body and landed on both feet. All the Death Knights turned into black shadows, and in a flash they skipped the charging cavalry. The same number of horsemen and horses fell and never got up again.

In Link's eyes, there were faint glows rising from the fallen soldiers and horses, wisps of light, the shape was a bit similar to the fate of the elves, but the color was more like soul energy, shining with a colorful color. All of this energy is then sucked into the Death Knight's body. Looking at the soldiers and horses, there was no breath left. He's dead. Some of the cavalrymen who were not touched were also wounded by Cheng DΓΉ, and the Nightmare itself has a hellish flame that can burn any living thing.

The effect of this blow changed the faces of the cavalrymen, and all of them chanted the same word: "Death charge." ”

As the name suggests, Death Charge refers to the charge started by the Death Knight. Relying on the Nightmare's flight and the power from the Grim Reaper, under the effect of the law of cause and effect blessed by the Lich King's frost, not only the charge effect is accompanied by the sure hit effect. However, any living creature touched by the Death Knight will die instantly, and this terrifying ability has harvested countless lives in the Northern Campaign and the Southern Invasion, making the front-line soldiers talk about it.

Seeing that the Death Knight went straight to chase the large army that had not yet run far, the cavalry reorganized their formation and divided them into three columns.

Death Charge isn't unbreakable. As long as they are knocked off their mounts before they can charge, the Death Knight without Nightmares will no longer be able to charge. This is also a disadvantage of the law of cause and effect, as long as the 'cause' is destroyed, the 'effect' cannot be achieved. How can you charge without a horse?

Hearing the sound of pursuit behind him, the Death Knight turned his horse's head and charged a second time.

Even if they use their superb riding skills to temporarily avoid the wheel attack, under the suppression of the fear aura of the high-level undead, both horses and people are instinctively afraid, and even if a few brave and senseless people complete the attack in the moment they pass by the death knight, they will not be able to cause substantial damage to the undead. Unlike the severed heads of dead corpses and the shattering of skeletons, high-level undead will not lose the ability to continue to move even if they lack certain parts, let alone the Death Knights with their own toughness, and ordinary weapons cannot penetrate their armor at all.

The cavalry column in the straight line suffered the most casualties, and after the charge, the human side lost the same number of lives as the Death Knights. To make matters worse, the first dead soldiers and horses staggered to their feet, the Death Knight's other ability after Death Charge - the Undead Minions. Some of the Zombie Witch-like Shifting Undead can summon creatures that have died naturally or been killed by themselves within 100 meters of them, turning them into their own followers.

Seeing that the companions who were still fighting side by side just now turned into undead in a blink of an eye, the faces of the remaining cavalry became even more ugly, even if they sacrificed the column in a straight line in exchange for a flank attack on both sides to pick off the more than ten death knights from the nightmare and trample them into slag, the remaining death knights could still charge. Moreover, the shattered Death Knight is not completely annihilated, they are slowly being spliced together in a degree that is visible to the naked eye.

It was almost a hopeless battle, and both Alex and the cavalry understood that the Death Knight was just a move by the undead commander to delay humanity. Behind these undead vanguards, there are endless armies of the undead, so the cavalry resolutely accept their fate - the outcast who stands in the way of the death knights.

Looking back at his compatriots who were about to disappear from the horizon, the cavalry commander gave the last order to charge with all his strength, and if he could delay for a minute, the large army would have more time to retreat.

"Soldiers of the Watch Fortress, charge with me!" The remaining cavalry divided into three columns, and the wounded were automatically lined up in a straight line facing the Death Knights.

The brutal battle shook Link deeply. He lowered the unconscious scout.

Reason told him that he should take advantage of the opportunity won by the cavalry to withdraw, and that nothing could be done by one person. But seeing those cavalrymen leaving their lives here for more people, he couldn't move his feet. Again and again in a hopeless charge, knowing that they could not completely kill the high-level undead with only the weapons in their hands, they still chose to create time for the large army to escape. Watch the vivid lives pass by in a flash. Link couldn't retreat according to his senses.

Summons the Wrath of the Storm and, with the help of the Wind Elemental, take on the Death Knight before the cavalry.

The cavalrymen felt only a gust of wind blowing behind them, and a blinding flash of lightning accompanied by thunder exploded in front of them. The third Death Charge was interrupted before it could move, and the Death Knight who fell from the Nightmare was blasted into irreparable ashes by lightning, a thunderous attack from a figure with its back to them.

Person?

The cavalry of the Watch Fort looked at each other, and the strongest in the army was the commander of the swordsman, but this back was obviously not Alex, nor was it the Archduke of Befast, who was second only to the commander. The forked longsword that had never been seen before was surrounded by beams of lightning that kept flashing. Illuminate the overcast sky.

The Death Knight leader raised his hand, and his men immediately dispersed into a semicircle.

Dismounted, the sword-wielding Death Knight pointed at Link. With such a strong divine power, it is not an ordinary divine elect.

[There is only one elect at the Watchgate, and you are not Menger.] Moreover, there is only one god who can control the storm.

The skinny undead have no vocal cords, but it vibrates through the air and its thoughts, conveying its own 'voice'. The temperature of the air also decreases with these languages. It makes people's skin involuntarily float goosebumps.

"If you want to fight, you can fight, so much nonsense!" Link's first blow was all based on the impulse of his heart. After the heat faded slightly, I couldn't help but panic.

[The tone is not small. The Dead Rider Leader Sebrion is also a Chosen One, and his strength and rank are not as good as Frost's, but he is also a powerful Undead Leader in the Undead Empire, and he can compete with the Lich, so he only brought a few dozen horses to pursue the Overwatch. also relies on its own strong strength, in terms of rank alone, Alex of the sword hero is not its opponent.

"Take the wounded soldiers over there and go. With these people here, Link felt constrained. There is also a chance that they can be injured by mistake during a fight.

The commander of the cavalry regiment hesitated for a few seconds, pulled the reins sharply, turned and ran towards the scout lying not far away, and the other cavalry obeyed the commander's decision. A handful of them recognized Link as the Commander's declared Craftsman. No matter what his identity is, the hand that just flashed just now is enough to prove that he has enough strength to empress the palace.

Not wasting unnecessary lives is the first rule in the fight against the undead.

[After the Pillar of the Earth, is the Pillar of Wind also going to make a move? Unfortunately, it's too late. Sebrion's weapon is a two-handed greatsword with a blade made up of a group of black ghosts that twist and cry, and the mere sight of it makes people feel terrified. It raised its hands above its head, and a circle of blue light rose from the edge of its blade, and it was already in front of Link in the blink of an eye.

Instinctively raised his sword to block, the piercing wail of the ghost who was close at hand shocked Link's heart, it was this flash, Cybrien's hands pressed, and Link, whose strength was thrown out of the street, was forced to kneel down a leg.

[A novice in swordsmanship, he can't use his divine power if he has an empty body. If there were other people present, they would have been chilled by this cold, hoarse laughter.

Oops, panicked for a moment, forgetting that in the face of this kind of fierce blow, the strength is not enough to resist.

Link gritted his teeth and held on, his body being pressed into the soft dirt little by little, and the biting muddy water quickly covered his calves. He glanced around, and the other dead riders were actually standing and watching, and the undead were also playing 1v1 heads-up, or did they have full confidence in the strength of the leader?

It's really disappointing, you are also a child of nature from human origin, you are much worse than Befast, and the vision of the first generation is really getting worse and worse. 】

He'd seen Befast? Oh no, now isn't the time to think about that. Although he has carried the aura of fear that Cybrion brings, Link is getting worse and worse, and he is no match for the pure warrior type of dead rider in terms of strength.

Strength...... By the way, my strength is not as good as his, just because I can't compare to other attributes. The attributes of the wind are agility and degree. As long as you lean in this direction, you can't beat it, at least you don't have to be so wolf, only parrying has no power to fight back. And the terrain here is open, and the wind element is dense, so it will definitely be possible......

Under Link's summoning, the wind elemental in the air gathered from all directions. Beyond the scope of his meditation.

Sebrion also felt the change in the air, and although it was sneering and mocking, it never really underestimated Link, and waited for the opponent to counterattack. After all, he is a child of nature, and in the name of Edgar's strongest divine envoy, he is afraid of divine punishment, and Sebrien does not dare to hack Link to death with a heavy hand, just trying to force him back.

As the wind elemental converges more and more, the crackling sound grows louder and louder. A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, and the Storm Fury Sword instantly turned white, and Cyberlion suddenly withdrew his hand, and the soul flame as blue as the blade of the sword flashed, and the opposite Link was wrapped in thunder and lightning, and the wind mixed with thunder and lightning turned this area into an electric field.

Cyberlion swept with his sword, and the blue flames attached to the blade turned into an arc and swung towards Link. This kind of seemingly flame. The substance called the fire of death is actually the embodiment of the power of death that kills when touched, let alone being touched by ordinary people. Even if you are close, you may be sucked out of your soul.

No sooner had the Deathfire left the blade than Link's figure disappeared from Cyberion's sight. The Death Rider immediately assumed a parrying posture and raised his two-handed sword upright, maximizing the protection of the line from head to chest and abdomen. As soon as he returned to defense, the lightning sword crashed into the two-handed greatsword, and the second round of attacks hit Link with one blow. There are no tricks left. He doesn't pay attention to tactics, but instinctively slashes and assaults, and once the enemy counterattacks, he uses his usual agility to dodge, and with the assistance of the wind element, he adds and adds.

Soon. Cyberian was seeing that he was increasingly unable to catch his opponent's attacks, and Link was so fast that no matter how fast he was, he couldn't catch the wind. The body was attacked more and more times, and despite the indestructible law of cause and effect, marks appeared on the skeleton that was harder than the heart of the earth. The tiny cracks grew as Link attacked more and more, and eventually, his left palm and half of his arm bone were severed, and the other Death Riders, who had been motionless, finally moved, and they moved the Death Charge.

[Don't come here!] Cybelion's drink was still a step too late.

Once the charge begins, the misses will not stop, and with the help of the Nightmare Death Knight catching up with Link, the confrontation will be completed in an invisible way to the naked eye. At the moment of the death-defying rhythm of cause and effect, a thunderbolt that was more powerful than just now exploded on the empty plain, and a loud noise reached the ears of the large army of the Watch Fort, which had already turned over the hills.

"What's that?"

"So glaring, spell?"

"Will the Knights be able to come back?"

The crowd was talking, and Alex narrowed his eyes as he looked in the direction they were coming from.

Gonzalez had a sudden foreboding, and he rushed from the team to Henry's carriage, and sure enough, Link was nowhere to be seen.

"What about others?"

Henry grimaced, but did not answer.

"What about you?!" Gonzalez shouted as the hunch came true.

"He volunteered to stay behind. Alex leaned over, and it was he who ordered Henry not to sue Gonzalez. Originally, there was no chance to do it, but the kid volunteered to stay, which was exactly what Alex wanted.

It's a shame to lose a master, but it's worth it compared to making Gonzalez.

Realizing Alex's plan, Gonzalez flipped out the whistle he had brought with him, and was about to call out to his mount when he was snatched away.

"It's too late to do anything, do you want to let the blood of the Knights who have already died be shed in vain?"

Gonzalez's eyes were fixed on the only loved one in the world.

"The vanguard of the enemy forces is the Death Knights, and no one can survive their death charge. ”

No, Link is a child of nature, he won't be so light-hearted...... Gonzalez's sight and attention were large, and small black dots appeared behind the troops. The infantry who pressed the formation were divided into a group according to the weekday drills, and after the death of the knights, it was their turn to take the main force of the legion.

The heavy and oppressive atmosphere was broken by an exclamation.

"It's the Knights!"

Pushing Gonzalez away, Alex turned his horse's head and rushed to the end of the line. It was indeed the Watchfort Cavalry Regiment that appeared on the hill, and they were all in good spirits, and although they were disheveled, they had no visible scars.

As the Knights approached, Gonzalez saw Link lying prone on horseback, and he immediately ran over, sniffing and breathing, as if he had fainted.

"What's going on?" Helping Link down from his horse, Gonzalez noticed that the wounds on his body were much more obvious, and the sunken bullet holes were not deep, but they were also terrifying.

"He saved us. Another wounded on horseback explained that he was the scout who had passed out earlier.

"What about the Death Knight? Alex's face sank, and he was not at all pleased that the cavalry regiment that should have been killed had returned.

The cavalry commander hesitated a little, but finally chose to carry out the order: "Defeated by him." ”

The crowd of onlookers, from soldiers to civilians, was in an uproar.

"All?"

"Yes. ”

Alex's eyes fell on Link, who was protected by his grandson, and he already had a bottom in his heart.

Only the messenger of God can do this kind of thing that can only be described by miracles, and you actually lied to me, Gonzalez.
