Chapter 33: Deliverance (11)

The earth-shattering drums of war were beaten, hammer after hammer as if they were beating in people's hearts. The undead warriors marched towards the open field in front of the Stone Dam City to the beat of the drums.

Although it is still covered with snow and ice, when the ice melts, there will be a large green meadow, and there are even many small grasses that stubbornly poke their heads out of the thick ice.

They may want to welcome the first spring breeze that comes to the snowfield, or they want to suck the first drop of melting snow and ice.

But they may be disappointed, for they will usher in a bloody dawn!

"The archers and trebuchets will be under your command!" Commander Leo stood in front of Christine, dressed in full armor. He put his right hand to his heart and shouted, "Courage and honor!"

"Courage and honor!" Christine also solemnly swore an oath.

Looking at these two old men who were over half a hundred years old, Gabriel and Lucifer's blood boiled. They also put their right hand on their hearts and solemnly swore an oath.

But that didn't get Christine an approving look. The old man glared and said loudly: "You two little rabbit cubs, follow me honestly, and don't leave a single step!"

"Uncle Christine, please see clearly, we are fearless warriors just like them!"

"In my opinion, you are just little dolls!" said the old man unceremoniously, "and you Ressa! When I came back through Bracada, your father Somla wanted me to keep a good eye on you! If you dare to keep talking, beware of me beating your ass!"

Ressa stuck out her tongue in fright.

"And you two, where are you going to slip away?" out of the corner of Christine's eyes, Jima and Linda, who were sneakily preparing to escape.

"We ...... We're going to rescue the Chosen!" said Hima, plucking up her courage.

"Oh my God, wake up!" cried Christine. He pointed to the beetle at the front of the undead and said, "Look at that shell man, he slept in my bed, drank my ale, and ate a lot of venison!

"But ......," Linda said unwillingly.

"But your head!" Christine glared, "stop thinking about saving him! we must kill him in order to keep more people alive!" and...... I've never seen a little girl who wants to fight so much, let alone a girl who goes to war with two little foxes!

Hima and Linda blushed. Those two little snow foxes are running around their skirts and having fun!

"It's not like you're going to the forest with your grandmother to pick berries, it's a battlefield where you're going to die, you know?! I don't know what you're not doing right to go back with Hart!" Christine was obviously complaining about her misfortune as a daddy.

"They're almost in range!, General, are we getting ready to shoot?" said the herald.

"What are you shooting? Don't you see that the first ones are just skeleton warriors and zombies, and I don't want to use my limited firepower on them!" said Christine, angrily.

"There's that damn Beetle ahead of them!"

"You've wasted a lot of ammo on him, but he's still alive!" Christine yawned, "Wait, wait for their Witch King and Terror Knight to get within striking distance!"

In the distance, Thoth the Death Judge waved his arm, and countless skeleton warriors and zombies began to attack!

The boys and girls immediately tightened their bows and arrows and got ready!

"What?" Christine glared, "Wait! I don't have enough arrows for you to waste!"

Christine pulled out the flask, sat down with her back against the female wall, then bit the cork off with her teeth and took a sip of herself.

"Drunk to death, you bad old man!" every boy and girl thought: "It's all fighting, you still have the heart to drink!"

Charging skeleton warriors and zombies crashed into the swordsmen's shields with a thud.

"Aren't we going to fight yet?" said Gabriel.

"These soldiers are sent to their deaths, let's see what they send in the second wave!" Christine said leisurely.

Commander Leo rode back and forth in the ranks of the city, shouting orders. The entire front did not shake a single inch under his command.

"Don't be intimidated by the horrible appearance of the undead! they are rushing and killing like crazy, where can they beat Commander Leo's well-trained elite troops?"

When Christine finished drinking the jug of wine in her hand, the sound of the clashing of swords on the battlefield gradually faded.

There was a terrifying howl from the snowfield! It was the second wave of attacks from the Death Adjudicator! The fireballs thrown by the trebuchets in the distance pierced and twisted the air, and began to whistle.

"Shoot back!" a drunken and hazy-eyed Christine suddenly jumped up, "Concentrate your fire on their depth, that's their trebuchet and the corpse witch king's attack position!"

Before the fireballs thrown by the undead fell, Commander Leo had already swung his sword and gave the order to charge!

Thirty thousand human warriors screamed and collided head-on with the second wave of attack force!That's tens of thousands and ghost and vampire kings!More than 20,000 terrifying knights split to the sides, but were intercepted head-on by the Leo Knights.

At first, you could tell the dividing line between friend and foe, but as the battle reached a stalemate, the whole battlefield was in chaos.

Christine's worst fears were born! The Leo Knights guarding the two flanks of the battle line were overwhelmed by the large number of terror knights! He frowned tightly and shouted: "Herald, you are in charge of the archers and trebuchets troops! I must go to reinforce the flanks of the defensive line, if the Terror Knights break through the defensive line, we will be encircled!"

"How to command?"

"Shoot every arrow, shoot all the amphorae and stones, and take up arms for hand-to-hand combat!"

"Yes!"

Christine ran to the city, and his hundred or so rangers were already in formation. He was about to speak, but now all the boys and girls ran down with him.

"What are you doing here?" Christine glared.

"You want us to follow you every step of the way!" said Gabriel, blinking slyly.

"Yes, as a general, and as a man, what you say counts!" added Renesas.

"You ...... Alas, you boys!" sighed Christine. He dragged the boys and girls past them, and said in a low voice: "I won't be able to protect you after the fight! You remember, I ask you to always get together and deal with each other! The city of Shiyan will be breached sooner or later, you are still young, you must find a way to survive no matter what!"

"We will!" the teenagers' eyes reddened.

Christine nodded, then turned around and shouted, "Who are you?"

"We are invincible rangers!" replied all in loud voices.

"Some people say that we rangers are not as good as heavy cavalry, not as good as dreadful knights, but only worthy of being scouts, are they right?"

"Nonsense!"

"Fart!"

The proud Rangers immediately began to explode.

"Prove it to them with your sword! No one is allowed to die until a hundred undead have been killed!" Cristin leaped on his horse and shouted, "Rangers, charge with me!"

More than 100 people rushed out of the city gates with a scream. But their shouts were immediately drowned out by the sound of the waves on the battlefield!

Commander Leo was covered in blood. Some of them were his own, and most of them were the filthy blood of the undead! He was followed by the famous elven hero Tanan, and his old comrades, his brothers who had fought and lived together!

They are like a sharp spear, the tip of which is pointed, invincible!

He suddenly appeared as a tall, bloated figure on the battlefield. The creature was like a giant beetle, with a pair of giant crows, waving four arms! Heavy swords, heavy hammers, heavy axes, and heavy shields rained down, and the swordsmen who resisted him flew in all directions like kites with broken strings!

"Gu Shiyu !!," Leo shouted angrily.

The Beetle did not react.

"Death Adjudicator Thoth !!" Commander Leo's eyes cracked.

The beetle heard! He turned his head and searched around, until he finally found him in the crowd, and immediately ran towards him with a howl.

Leo pushed the crowd away and strode towards him.

Both human warriors and undead were shocked by their powerful aura and retreated one after another, leaving them with a large open space.

The beetle's eyes were blood-red, and it roared under its mouth, its body slumping with the sound of heavy breathing.

"He's forgotten the past!" Tanan whispered, "We must work together to kill him, or no one in the world will be his opponent again!"

"Let me meet him first! I don't believe I can't kill a beetle!" Leo crouched down, then raised his shield and stared at the Death Adjudicator.

Tanan sighed and stepped back. Pride kills! He looked at the two people in the crowd without blinking, ready to strike at any moment!

The humans and undead next to them have stopped, and even huddled together peacefully, looking forward to this exciting battle.

Steve also surrounded the undead hero. It's going to be an elite showdown, and then a showdown of all the elites on both sides!

"Jasmine!" Lucifer could barely believe his eyes! he suddenly saw the grinning vampire king Drokuler standing next to Steve, and a pair of twinkling eyes suddenly appeared behind him, though it was only a glimpse.

The man was relatively short, and although he was masked with a black veil, Lucifer was all too familiar with the bright-eyed pairs!

"Oh my God, is she really an undead?" Lucifer shuddered all over.

Instead of following the Rangers to reinforce the flanks, the teenagers rushed straight to the place where the battle was most intense.

He no longer had the heart to look at this thrilling battle, but pushed away the human warriors and undead who stood in front of him, and began to search for the figure that haunted him.

Gabriel and Ressa followed closely behind him, and only the two little girls, Hima and Linda, remained in the crowd watching.

The familiar figure appeared in front of Lucifer, running towards the edge of the battlefield without looking back. It wasn't until far away from the battlefield that the figure stopped.

"Jasmine!Are you really Jasmine?!" Lucifer stood behind her.

"I'm sorry, Lucifer! I'm sorry, Rensa! I'm sorry, Gabriel!" the figure twitched his shoulders as if he were crying.

"I don't understand!" Lucifer took a deep breath.

"I didn't mean to lie to you!" Jasmine cried, "I always wanted to be a normal person, but ......" Jasmine stopped suddenly.

"Tell me, we're all listening......" Renesa said.

"I was born in the Lost Lands, and my parents were the guardians of the cemetery," Jasmine said, wiping tears from her eyes, "maybe you'll treat them as undead too......

In order to prevent darkness and evil from invading their hearts, each Graveyard Guardian learns the corresponding dark magic...... If, from that point of view, you have enough reason to treat them as undead......"

"But they're definitely not!" Jasmine suddenly turned around and said loudly, "They study dark magic just to keep the spirits in the cemetery and not let them roam!

I was born frail and sickly, and my parents tried a lot to save my life...... When I was on the verge of death, my desperate mother knelt in the very center of the cemetery, begging death not to take my soul......

At this time, the vampire king Drokul appeared! he said that he could exchange one life for another, so he ...... So my desperate mother resolutely agreed to him, and signed a devil's pact with him......"

"But my body is weak...... Drokul told my father that if I want to continue my life, I must be allowed to suck the blood of a human being full of yang energy......"

"I cried and said to my father, father, you just let me die, I don't want to be a vampire!"

"My father scolded me angrily and said, "Your mother will not hesitate to sacrifice her life in order to keep you alive!" Whether you want to or not, for the sake of your mother, you must live well for the rest of your life!"

"When he saw that I was still crying, he comforted me and said, Jasmine, don't worry, I will study blood magic seriously and make you a normal girl......"

So he buried himself in the sea of books day and night, until the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, but he still did not find any solution......

"Before he died, he held my hand tightly and said with tears in his eyes: Jasmine, you can figure it out yourself, I have tried my best......"

"Yes, I was responsible for all the vampire incidents around you!I even participated in the vampire attack on Shiyan City last night!" Jasmine wiped her tears and said, "If you want to kill me, then kill me!"

Renesa began to cry as well.

"Jasmine, we sympathize with what happened to you...... But you shouldn't hide it from us, and if you could have spoken out earlier, maybe we could all help you find a way...... I can't forgive you for the fact that you sucked blood on our way to the city of the Stone, why did you help Drokul attack the city of the stone-weir, don't you feel guilty about the death of so many people last night? do you understand what you did? The city of the stone-weir will fall because of this, and many of the castles of Erathia, and many people will die because of it!" Gabriel said angrily.

"I ...... I just don't want you to know who I am...... Drokul always threatens me with this......"

"You're going to kill so many people in exchange for Drakul's promise?" Gabriel snapped, "Are you willing to continue to trade a hundred lies, a thousand lies for our trust in you?"

"Gabriel, watch the way you speak!" Lucifer said loudly.

"What's wrong with me? I don't think there's anything wrong with me!"

"Don't forget, she saved our lives in the Valley of Death!

"Go and beg those who died innocently to forgive her! it may not be enough for her to die a hundred times!" Gabriel said indignantly, "Since you have saved me, I will not be your enemy today, but if I hear that you continue to do so in the future, I will not hesitate to hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"

"You can kill me now, I don't want to live......" Jasmine slumped on the ground and cried.

Gabriel had already begun to go back. Renesa hugged Jasmine and whispered, "Jasmine, hold on, we'll figure it out!"

"What are you doing, Renesas?!" Gabriel said loudly.

"I'll just say a word to her!" Resa replied, standing up.

"Lucifer, are you going with me?" Gabriel shouted to the hesitant Lucifer, "Don't forget that you're human!"

"She too!"

"She was! If you choose to stay with her, you're the enemy of humanity! Lucifer, please wake up!"

"Let's go, Lucifer!" Jasmine moaned under her breath.

“...... Jasmine, then I'll ...... go" Lucifer finally decided: "I beg your pardon, now humans and the undead are enemies of each other...... I don't want to be your enemy, you have to live well in the future, I will help you find a way, please rest assured......"

"Don't say it...... Let's go!"

Jasmine raised her teary eyes. In a dim light, she realized that the person she was closest to and most unwilling to lose was leaving her. She began to cry loudly.

On the battlefield in the distance, with a bang, Leo was hit by the Death Adjudicator with a heavy hammer, and even the people flew out with shields!

"Stop him!" Tanan shouted loudly and mournfully!

The temporary peace between humans and the undead was immediately shattered, and countless swords and magic were wielded.

Tanan flew up to Leo's side, trying to help him.

"I'm just being blown down by the wind!" Leo squeezed a smile out of his pained face.

Tanan put his hand under Leo's neck, but Leo stopped him!

"Don't move, my bones are broken!"

"Leo ......" Tanan was holding tears in his eyes, observing Leo's whole body up and down.

"My brother, promise me to lead the rest of the people out of the battlefield! We've done our best!" Leo's gaze has begun to wander: "Burn me, don't let me become a zombie!"

"Forgive me, my brother!" Tanan's tears fell.

Leo nodded in satisfaction, then closed his eyes.
