Chapter Seventy-Two: The Royal Knight
The wind of the Soller plateau carries a faint fishy smell, so it is said that it is the breath of the blood of heroes who have dried up on this land for thousands of years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Now the wind was blowing again, and the descendants of the heroes were once again taking up their weapons, this time facing the undead - the line on the horizon had become more and more conspicuous, as if it reflected the sun, revealing a faint grayish-white sheen.
The Soul Eaters paused in the midst of the undead creatures, raising their heads and emitting high-frequency sound waves. This piercing scream was transmitted to their king through the soul eater lords of the entire battlefield, like a gust of wind blowing through the gray ocean, and the sea began to ripple.
The shaking of the earth has become more and more apparent.
Before they came to the fortress, looking down from the sky, the army of the undead was already lined up on the plateau.
The people on the fortress stood on the historic walls of the castle walls, stretching out of the jagged landscape of Adelaide as the fortress group stretched behind, and the silver lion flags fluttered with the wind above the plateau and continued out of view.
With the sound of the command, the spearmen on the fortress flattened the spears, and the huge tower shields were erected one after another, crowding into the first row. A pair of young eyes were hidden behind the big shield, and countless gray-white lights were reflected in the brown eyes, and their owners were somewhat pale faces.
Raphael, the third chief of the Royal Knights, sighed with some regret when he saw this scene, and he also understood that these young people from all over the country of Adelaide may be full of blood, but blood here does not change anything, these people are just unprepared newcomers.
He could only hope that the blow would not be too severe.
Hopefully, these young people will make it through.
The sudden howl of the banshee surprised countless sleeping people, and Raphael rushed out of the military headquarters as soon as possible, contacted his troops through special methods, and assembled on the walls of the fortress.
In the distance of his field of vision, 500 royal knights were already watching in front of the position with flags in their hands, and constantly sending back information about the front.
At this time they were not only knights, but also infantrymen.
"The Undead Pioneer Soul Eater Beast Group has broken away from the main formation and began to accelerate, the distance is one thousand three hundred!"
"Stay in formation!"
"Seven hundred, be careful not to let them get close to the walls and cause damage!"
"Five hundred at a distance, into the projection range—"
But when the final order was heard, archers from various legions above the city were making their final preparations.
Their commander, a half-elven archer with elegant demeanor who inherited the gifts of the elves, was squinting at the scene. When the sea of the undead crossed the clear line above the battlefield, the half-elf raised his slender eyebrows, raised his hand, and said:
"Soldiers, my brothers—"
"Everyone carefully check whether the explosion crystals on the arrows are stable, each arrow must be enchanted, remember that a simple projectile attack has no effect on the undead, don't waste your strength!"
"The herald reports the reading!" a royal knight called out.
"Target area No. 4 to area No. 7, distance seven hundred, elevation forty-seven, wind speed downwind forty, projectile!"
The half-elf commander nodded: "Zhang Gong-"
Whether it was the archers of the aristocratic private soldiers or the archers of the Red Red Army, they all raised their longbows in unison.
A reflection flashed over the city.
The gloomy dark clouds in the sky suddenly parted, and a silver bone dragon descended from the clouds, like a silver monster, opening its mouth and spitting out a mouthful of frost with terrifying power.
Many people looked up—but the first thing they saw was not the dense array of rising arrows, but the undead winged beasts that appeared in the clouds. When these undead winged beasts first appeared, they were already spewing out roaring breath.
It's like a rain of steel falling from the sky, and countless lines of various colors connect the sky to the ground. The light of iron and fire ploughed through the human fortress, and in the roar of an explosion, countless houses directly collapsed, and the human army collapsed.
At the same time, an emerald green light fell from the sky and landed in the center of the battlefield, and the huge roots swept and curled in all directions, falling heavily on the ground. In that instant, tens of thousands of undead were reduced to ashes, and the arrows of attack were almost completely destroyed, and everyone held their breath and looked up at the giant tree that suddenly appeared on the battlefield - it covered the sky and the sun, and the green was like a dream
"Adelaide's soldiers. Admiral Regg, who was standing at the forefront, his voice resounded throughout the battlefield: "Shoot!"
The half-elf general also looked up at the scene, and then waved his hand vigorously.
"Release!" came a faint voice in the wind.
Hum -
A glittering spot of light rose in the wind, an enchanted arrow, and the storm cut an elegant arc over the battlefield like a rainstorm that fell into the army of the undead. In an instant, a continuous flash of light shone on the plateau, and the violent explosion tore those weaker undead soul eaters to pieces, and the momentum of the attack was blocked.
But before the people could cheer, after the smoke cleared, behind the thick fog was the main force of the army of the undead, the Abomination Legion. For these abomination legions in the back row, their numbers were so staggering, the explosion of the exploding crystal had no impact at all, and the mountains of wreckage in front of them pushed away for the same kind behind, and they continued to move forward like waves of the ocean.
With a scream, these huge monsters began to accelerate and slammed head-on into the human gates. The ground shook violently, and a thin layer of smoke could be seen floating from the dry dust for a mile.
The formation of the human legion on the fortress subconsciously made waves, and in some places it began to retreat, which made the commanders very angry.
Admiral Reg frowned as well.
On the fortress, the half-elf general gave the order for a second salvo with a sinking face, and the magic and artillery roared again, and from time to time flashes and fireballs rose from the sea of the undead. But to no avail, in the blink of an eye, the army of the undead collided with the human fortress.
As soon as it came into contact, the human fortress shook violently, and after ten minutes of fighting, the two sections of the walled acropolis were already exposed to the front of the undead army's attacking arrows.
Mages from the Adventurers' Guild also joined the battle.
But they couldn't stop the undead lord's power, and an undead beast almost as high as a hill climbed the wall, its feet raised, and it fell heavily. With a loud bang, one side of the Acropolis wall crumbled, and the gray-white sea swarmed in on a bone ladder, and the Acropolis was like driftwood on the raging sea, and disappeared in an instant.
Raphael watched this scene with a blank face, and turned his head and walked to the city gate.
Behind him, the knights were gathering, and a silver war horse appeared in the field of vision.
"Viscount Raphael. A knight with a pointed red helmet and red scales came to him, saluted with respect, and replied, "The Crimson Knights are ready to strike at any time." ”
The former nodded, uncloaked and walked back, taking a golden helmet from his squire. He put on his helmet and pulled down his metal visor, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes - above the helmet, a statue of a golden lion with its wings outstretched stood with its head held high.
Raphael raised his head and said lightly, "Assemble, Royal Knight!"
A melodious long horn sound.
Countless knights, in the overwhelming convergence, Admiral Reg unified all the regular knights and handed them over to Raphael, at this time it was only a cavalry of squires, and it did not work.
Raphael didn't say a word more, because by this time, there was not much need for words. Everyone's heart is full of excitement and enthusiasm, and everyone should understand what kind of war this is.
He drew his saber with a thud, the tip of the sword pointing straight ahead.
The unified knights then understood their direction.
Attack forward and break through the enemy's main formation, their target is none other than the Soul Eater Lord in the army of the undead.
The tide of events on the battlefield began to turn around with the addition of human knights.
