Kara...... Kara......

The sound of bones trampling on rocks echoed through the empty underground passages.

Finn's back is cold, as it was before. At that time, he was chaotic and took refuge in the dwarf city of Sander with others, but he didn't expect to meet the undead on the way, the old, weak, sick and disabled have been sent away by 6 continuations, and the rest of the watchtower are basically young and middle-aged, although there are a small number of women and children on this side of the fortress, but the number is still mostly male, when they see the undead, everyone's reaction is not to work together to resist the enemy, but to rush to escape, and many people are trampled to death directly in the panic.

Finn was shoved into a natural pit in the confusion, and before he could climb up, 6 he dropped some of the slain bodies, and in fear he drilled down the hole in the ground, and by mistake he crawled to the other end of the passage. I don't know if the thickness of the rock blocks the undead's perception of life, or if the body is too weak to be sensed, in short, he fainted several times in hunger and cold, and continued to crawl after waking up, and finally struggled to survive before he got out of the hole, and when he woke up, he saw the dwarf and Link.

Do you want to repeat the fear again......

The horror of confronting the undead is still in his memory, and Finn is a little weak.

His eyes scanned around, hoping to find a hole in the ground where he could hide like last time, and he really touched it, not far away there was a hole in the rock wall, Finn hurriedly ran over to check, and he was disappointed, only more than two meters deep, this distance would definitely be revealed by the undead.

Kara...... Kara......

The footsteps of the skeletons are getting closer and closer, and you can hear that there are quite a few of them. Finn extinguished his torch and got inside.

The footsteps were getting louder and closer. He covered his mouth and nose, hoping it would help.

Suddenly, the sound of bones coming into contact with the rocks stopped in unison.

Finn's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He could even hear the sound of thudging and jumping

Then, a solitary clicker came towards the cave where he was hiding.

No...... Don't come here!

Help, whoever it is, O gods in heaven, help me!

Finn's mind was in turmoil, and he curled up in the innermost part of the cavern, motionless. Then an armored skeleton poked into its upper body, a pair of blue flames flickering in its bare eye sockets. Finn covered his mouth and stared at the undead who were less than a meter away from him, his mind blank.

[I obviously sensed that there was ** around here.] 】

"Maybe it's the ones who didn't die before. ”

[Impossible, this place has been cleaned up, and not a single corpse has been left.] 】

"Could it be a dwarf?"

[Then it is even more impossible, they have a grudge against the human race to seize the land and exterminate the race. The upper body of the skeleton retreated, and the sound of neat footsteps sounded again.

Finn covered his mouth, and he didn't dare to let out a breath.

It didn't see me? At such a close distance, I even felt that my eyes were aligned, didn't the undead have night vision, could they see through the darkness and perceive living things? If so, there was no reason for it to let me go?

After thinking about it all the time, Finn was just about to get out when there was a sound of lonely footsteps outside the cave that had previously stopped him from breathing, and now he understood why this skeleton's footsteps were so different. Wearing armor, the sound of stepping on a rock is naturally different.

It's not gone yet?!

Be aware of this. Finn didn't dare to move. After making sure the footsteps were far away, he tiptoed his head out, and it was pitch black and nothing. He took off his boots, lowered one foot, and waited a few seconds. He put down the other foot again. He stood on his feet for almost a minute, and without any reaction below, groped his way barefoot on the cold rock.

Whatever the reason, all he wanted to do was get back to the surface now. The fortress must not have been breached yet, otherwise there would be no need for these skeletons to patrol the underground passage that connects the fortress to the dwarven city. We must get out alive!

With a strong thought that bordered on self-hypnosis, Finn actually came to the big iron gate that led to the ground. Reach out and push. It was locked, and the iron door did not move.

What can I do, if I knock on the door, will I attract the undead?

Seeing that life was outside the door, he tried to knock on the iron door. It was so hard that my palms hurt and there was no sound. Finn could only knock with a dagger.

Click-click--

The sound echoed through the underground passage, and Finn was stunned, oh no, this must be heard by the undead!

Click...... Click...... A different echo came from below, and Finn's face changed dramatically. Sure enough, it was revealed!

[It turns out that there is really a fish that slipped through the net, I wonder how you managed to avoid detection?] The skeleton in armor appeared on the stairs below, and the faint light that came through the iron door, Finn saw it approaching step by step, and the nerves that had been highly tense could no longer withstand it.

He shouted hoarsely, "Help!!"

With a thud, the iron door was knocked away, and Finn was pushed out with the force, and then he saw a golden halo fly past his scalp, splitting the skeleton that had drawn his sword in two. Ignoring the pain, he looked back at a figure standing outside the iron gate, holding a long sword that glowed with golden light, the face he had seen, a high-ranking officer of the fortress.

"Come out!" Blake said to Finn who was lying on the ground with a cold face, and heard the sound of more bones moving behind him, Finn crawled out of the tunnel, fresh air, sunshine, and really came to the ground alive.

"Annihilate, you bone scum!" Blake waved his long sword a few times, and the golden arc of light swept through, turning the other skeletons that caught up into powder, "Hmph, there's still down there, do you think you're a mage and you can run away!"

Finn was about to tell SΓΉ Blake what Link had entrusted him, but he chased after him with his sword, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Looking around, there was nothing left in the empty atrium, only various items that the civilians had too late to take with them when they urgently evacuated. Finn stood for a few seconds, then pulled his legs and ran towards the periphery. As soon as he got on the city wall, he was almost knocked down by a soldier who ran over, and hurriedly pulled him to ask where the Grand Duke was?

"Link trapped underneath?" Gonzalez frowned as he looked at Finn, who had been brought to him by the soldiers. This boy, who was somewhere between a teenager and a young adult, he had seen, was the adopted son of the eyeliner that the Overwatch had planted in the old town of the River Valley, and judging from the color of his skin and facial features, he was also a time-traveler.

"What ...... of cause and effect does he say?"

"The law of cause and effect?"

"Yes, that's right. It is the law of cause and effect. He said that he had fallen into the law of cause and effect, and that he had killed the demonic beasts entrenched in the underground lake, and that he couldn't leave that area, so let me come up and inform you. ”

Gonzalez didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or worry, Link's stay in Sander City was his original intention, but ...... Why is he so upset? I always feel that something bad will happen. That's right......

"There's no objection to the city of Sander accepting the refugees, right?"

At the mention of civilians, Finn's face suddenly turned pale.

"Dead. ”

"What?"

"They're all dead...... Everyone, we were ambushed underground by the undead, including the soldiers who escorted us down. I was lucky enough to hide in a natural tunnel. As soon as he finished speaking, Finn felt his shoulders jerk, and a large hand turned his whole body around, and he saw an old man with a white beard and bright eyes, dressed in golden armor.

"You're saying that the civilians who moved underground are dead?"

"Yes, yes. Mr. Glared at by the old man, Finn couldn't help but stutter a little as he spoke.

"It's a trap. Blake returned with a slight smell of blood, and shrugged his shoulders when he saw Gonzalez and Alex looking at him: "Just killed a necromancer and his skeleton group in the underground passage, they came from Zeverat City. ”

"So, Sander City has also fallen?" Alex frowned, his expression even colder.

"No ......" As soon as Finn spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva as he felt the pressure double.

"Say what you see. ”

"I ...... I woke up to see a couple of dwarves and Link. There was a big underground cry next to it, and there was a very large monster floating on the water near the shore. "Scared by Alex. Finn immediately confessed what he had seen when he opened his eyes.

"What else?"

"And ...... Link tries to persuade the dwarves to help, but is refused. He asked the dwarf to send a message to the ground saying that he was trapped underneath, but the dwarf didn't agree, so he had no choice but to entrust me. "Finn wouldn't be so stupid as to tell me that he would send a letter on demand that Link take him as an apprentice.

Alex snorted coldly, withdrew the palm on Finn's shoulder, and looked at Gonzalez with ulterior motives: "It seems that your friend can't be counted on." ”

"Grandfather ......"

"The only one who can save humanity is yourself. Alex left without looking back.

Blake pouted. After asking Finn in detail about the shape and color of the monster in the water, and how Link was trapped, he asked the soldier to take him to rest.

When Finn was gone, Gonzalez looked at Blake and asked word by word, "Do you know what kind of monster that is?" Dawn is the same as the Natural Alliance. In the early years, they were all enemies of demons, how could they not know the types of demonic beasts.

Blake didn't deny it, listening to the report of his subordinates, he vaguely guessed that it was Trollope in the Abyss Demon Domain that occupied the underground lake, a kind of monster with a very tough skin that could not be defeated with an ordinary sword, and only elemental and divine power could penetrate its skin.

"You knew it was a trap?" Gonzalez asked again.

"Doubted. Blake nodded, with his strength, he could easily get a Trolope, but Blake felt that things might not be so simple. The dwarves don't know magic, and it's too dangerous for the priests and priests to go underground without the protection of the soldiers, and it's obvious that such a big guy is trying to pollute the water and block the passage. After such a hesitation, the Watch Castle came, and brought the undead with it, and now Blake couldn't leave the Watch Castle.

Coincidentally, Link appeared, a child of nature. Whoever this conspiracy is aimed at, at least the problem of drinking water can be solved, and as for Link's safety, Black really hasn't thought about it.

"How can you ......" Gonzalez glared angrily, and just as he could say a few words, he was interrupted by Blake.

"Instead of worrying about him, worry about yourself, Duke of Befast. With the protection of divine punishment, he may not be able to do anything in the face of thousands of troops in time, of course, provided that his divine favor is high enough. "Only the first gods can cast divine punishments, and Black isn't sure if the guy who casts the law of cause and effect is targeting himself or Link, but one thing is for sure, it must be a mage or a priest. No matter who it is aimed at, since you dare to play such a trick, it means that you are sure enough to trap the target...... Probably. It is the 'cause' that starts with the killing of Troope, and unless you can go back in time, you can't get rid of the 'effect' that has been formed.

Heh~ What a clever strategy, not only does not have to face the divine punishment of killing the elect or the apostles, but also can achieve the purpose of trapping the commander or the strongest individual. This kind of technique, it shouldn't be frost......

Blake's confidence in defending until reinforcements arrived was a little shaken.

If it's really frosty. Unless the High Priest is there, no one here is a match for the Lich King. He also comforted himself that it couldn't be frost and cold, if the Lich King himself was to conquer, he would not have fought so many days of attrition, and a forbidden spell could sweep away the entire fortress in half a day.

Just as he was thinking about it, a cold breath suddenly approached. Blake looked out from the archery port of the arrow tower, and a group of black ghosts floated over, and couldn't help but curse.

"Here we go again!"

Gonzalez knew who he was scolding. Lady of Mourning, Antia, one of the Lich King's generals. Once a glow elf, he was forcibly transformed into after being killed in the Northern War, and is a ghost lord who can kill life with his 'singing'.

"Priest!!" Blake shouted, and the Avenger Priest, who was resting in the corner, immediately climbed up to the battlements, stood behind the arrow tower and began to prepare for the divine spell.

When the 'black clouds' floated to the top of the fortress, they turned into translucent ghosts. They cut through the rocks, making a piercing cry. Everyone covered their ears in unison. This noise really torments the eardrum. As the priest opened the barrier, the spirits were kept out of the fortress along with their noise, and occasionally a few entered through the walls and were scattered.

After the first wave of attacks, an ethereal and melodious song rang out over the fortress.

[Say goodbye to your family and stay away from the country. Embark on a long journey. 】

[Countless lives have been lost for the ambitions and territories of kings and nobles. 】

[O fallen soldier, he can no longer return to his homeland, he can no longer see his relatives, and he is buried in an unknown mountain. 】

"Don't listen to her! Hold on to the faith!" Blake shouted as he ran up the battlements, a song that could cross the priest's barrier, and the mentally ill would be fooled by the song, either killing themselves, falling off the walls, or slashing their companions around them. For the first time before, hundreds of people were killed by the singing because they were caught off guard, but those who sang were far away from the range of the archers. And Blake and Alex, who are not lured by the song, can't reach the attack distance, and if you want to deal with her completely, you must go out of the city. What's more, there are so many undead that even if they are chopped into pieces, they can be spliced together into new skeletons or ghouls under the spells of the neom. If you go deep into such an immortal army, you will surely die.

The revenge army is okay, because of their faith, most of them can still keep their sanity. The situation at the Overwatch was much worse, with days of fierce fighting, companions dying one after another, an unabated army of undead outside, no hope of victory in sight, and some fragile hearts were bewildered by the pervasive singing, and their eyes gradually dizzled, even if there were priests who performed the Lifting Technique, it would be useless.

With a longbow that snatched over an archer, Blake channeled his divine power into the arrow, shooting it at the source of the sound.

The elven-like ghost giggled and retreated, arrows of light falling from mid-air, igniting the skeletons on the ground, and under the command of the corpse witch, the sea of bones quickly dispersed, and when the holy light burned out and gathered again. Blake angrily snapped his longbow, and his uncool behavior also affected Gonzalez, and he pulled out his whistle and prepared to chase away the weeping lady who had been provoked several times. At this moment, Alex, who was in another arrow tower nearby, walked over and took the whistle that summoned the synth from his hand.

"Grandfather?" Gonzalez looked at Alex in a daze.

Giving him a meaningful look, Alex stepped onto the synth, and Blake's expression was a little strange, and he watched the Commander of the Watch Castle move his lips, and finally said nothing.

Alex's lieutenant rushed over like crazy and shouted at Gonzalez, "Stop him, Grand Duke, stop the commander!"

Gonzalez Alex flew farther and farther away, and he didn't slow down for a long time.

"Commander!!" the adjutant cried out hoarsely, and his superior rushed towards the undead without looking back.

The elven ghost continued to retreat, luring Alex away from the fortress, and the skeletons and ghouls below sensed the lifeforms, all looked up, and then raised their hands and drew their bows, and the dense undead performed the same action, making the hearts of all who witnessed it shiver.

Countless arrows were shot at the synths in the sky, and just when everyone thought Alex would be shot into a sieve, he suddenly shouted 'Vlajd', the name of the god of war. Gonzalez, who had been stunned, finally came back to his senses, and he chanted Alex's name.

Even believers can't shout the name of the god lightly, although Alex is a sword hero, he has no god himself, and if he wants to obtain divine power, he must burn his life.

At the same time as Gonzalez shouted, Alex's body suddenly became several times larger, and the weapon in his hand emitted a layer of red light. The majestic divine power turned into visible layers of ripples, and all the undead who were affected turned into powder in an instant, the weeping lady Antia flew back, and Alex would not let go of the banshee who had taken hundreds of lives, he waved the long sword in his hand, and the red light spread forward in a cone shape, and the banshee screamed, and the enchantment she opened turned into powder.

Alex is like a divine help, the army of undead who originally couldn't see the edge is like an ocean under his attack, and the corpse witches have no self-inflicted cheap undead scattered, and no matter how fast they retreat, they can't compare to the divine power that emanates from Alex's body. In just a few tens of seconds, one-third of the undead were annihilated.

Just as the soldiers at the Watchfort were cheering for the commander's heroic battle, Alex suddenly stood still, and the linear divine power like ripples of water disappeared without a trace, and his body exploded into countless pieces with a 'bang', turning into a blood mist that splattered in all directions.

"The time for the gods to descend to earth is over......" Blake stepped out of the arrow tower, stood on the battlements and whispered, "I didn't expect you to use this trick, Alex." (To be continued!)
