Chapter 31: The Chosen One of Sin (1)
"We'll have to send someone to take a look!" General Leo said.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we've been sending people to watch over there, and they're still there!"
"Trust your judgment, Tanan Hero!" General Leo said, "but I'll have to figure out how far they are from us, which will go a long way in our upcoming attack!"
"I'll go, Your Excellency Commander!" said Joseph.
"Be careful!" General Leo nodded, "Return as soon as you touch their front edge!"
The night watchmen pushed the huge winch, opening a crack in the heavy iron door. Joseph stepped on his skis and leaned on his poles, and flew towards the snowfield.
The heroes of the Great Wall of Ice and Snow watched him.
Where are they? Joseph scanned the snow, trying to find any clues.
The further he went, the more he felt the chill around him grow thicker and thicker. The warrior's sharp instincts told him that they should be nearby.
Ahead is a slope. He stopped, then slowly walked up the slope. The snow creaked beneath beneath his feet.
Countless snowflakes bounced off the ground, and zombies with festering muscles and terrifying faces emerged from the ice!
There were too many of them! Joseph was about to turn around when his ankles were firmly grasped by the palms of his hands in the snow! He pulled out his wrist knife with lightning speed, and as soon as he leaned over and turned his wrist, he immediately severed the zombie's wrist bone!
"Run!" shouted General Leo on the rampart! But a few miles away, it was not known if Joseph could have heard.
Joseph did not run, but rolled down the slope. The posture, while awkward, is very effective. As soon as he reached the bottom of the slope, he immediately stood up and slid through the snow with his poles.
There weren't too many zombies in the snow, and there were only a few dozen chasing after Joseph. They chased crookedly through the snow, being left far behind by Joseph.
The brave Joseph did not flee in a hurry. When he didn't chase a large number of zombies after him, he stood high in the wilderness and slowly drew the longbow behind his back.
He shot arrow after arrow at the shallow and howling zombies in the snow until the last arrow was gone.
The poles began to fly again. Like a whirlwind in the snow, with the smell of snow and death, he knocked over one zombie after another with his shoulders and elbows, and then thrust his ski pole into their heads.
He stood still for a moment, making sure none of the zombies would be able to get up again, before skiing towards the Great Wall of Ice.
General Leo was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He is proud that this is his warrior, a fearless and skilled warrior!
"I want to do something even crazier!" General Leo said to Tanan and Eric.
"Say it! I hope it's not too crazy!" Tanan nodded.
"I want to push all the trebuchets and ballistas into range of fire, blast these sons of bitches hard, and then the whole army will launch a deadly impact!"
"But we don't have enough cavalry and infantry to move the assault...... Eric appears cautious, "Zombies are not scary, what is scary are the vampire kings, the ghoul kings, the terror knights, and the ghost dragons of Bellerion." So far, we don't know where they are now. ”
Apparently Tanan also approved of General Leo's idea. He nodded, "I don't understand what Bellerian is waiting for. Since they don't attack, let's take the initiative and beat him up by surprise! ”
"Let's hope that witch from the Tulaone Forest will work with us. Wouldn't taking out this large number of enemies in front of us also consume Bellerion's living force? We can't wait for Bellerion to be ready before attacking us, that would make us very passive!"
"Alright, I'll use my mind to communicate with Helena!" Somra nodded.
Bellerion arrives in the cave where the rain is being held. He didn't expect this kid to be still sleeping, and even sleeping soundly.
He poked Gu Shiyu with his finger, and the sleeper was immediately awakened by great pain.
"Surrender to me, and I will give you greater strength!"
"I won't bow my head to you!" Gu Shiyu said firmly: "I won't sacrifice my soul to a demon, what's the difference between that and dying?"
"I'm sorry that I'm not satisfied with your choice!" Bellerion sighed, "I wanted to persuade you by a more civilized means...... Since you don't listen, then I'll have to use a little barbaric means to help you find the answer!"
Bellerion opened his hand, and Gu Shiyu could see the skin in his palm suddenly crack, and a black beetle came out of it.
"It's a scarab! I'm sure you should know it...... When you were in the Lost Lands, you sacrificed to the Dark Temple in the Darkwood Forest, and it was this magical creature that gnawed away the werewolves you sacrificed until nothing was left with a pool of blood. Now it's your turn! I must tell you that when they bite through your skin and burrow into your abdomen and eat your internal organs, you will know what it means to live rather than die! I ask you one last time: Do you still stand by your decision?"
"You do it, I'm ready!" Gu Shiyu closed his eyes. O Mother Earth, I hope what you say is true, and I will not die at the hands of this demon......
"Tsk!" said Bellerion, looking at the scarab beetle in his hand, admiringly, "Look at how strong its belly is! I'm sure it's full of eggs. Your body will be like a fertile breeding ground for its innumerable little life! Can you imagine what it would be like for each of them to burrow through your body, biting and sucking?"
Bellerion put the beetle on Gu Shiyu's chest, and then clapped his hands and said, "When you can't bear it anymore, you just need to say loudly: Master, I surrender to your great power, and I am willing to be your servant, and swear to you forever!
Bellerion walked out the door. The rest of Gu Shiyu spasmed and trembled in the room, and finally burst out with a heart-rending howl......
An undead hero was waiting outside the door. He bowed down and asked, "Master, I don't understand, why don't you just twist his head and turn him into a headless horseman too?"
"Stephen, it's easy to turn him into a Headless Horseman, but I also need him to have a head around his neck! Think about it, what kind of blow will it be to the warriors of Erathia when they see that the Great Chosen One has turned their allegiance to me and led an army of the undead to attack them?
"I seem to have seen the look of surprise and fear on their faces...... Stephen flattered.
"Has Sandru's Eastern Route Army invaded Dia?"
"Yes, master! I received his report yesterday, and the Duke of Elares of Dia didn't expect Sandru to make a comeback so soon, and he has been defeated!"
"It's going to be Erathia's turn next!" Bellerion nodded in satisfaction, "How's your tunnels going?"
"Probably tomorrow we will be able to dig into the Great Wall!"
"Why is progress so slow?" Bellerion frowned, "Didn't you catch thousands of outsiders doing hard labor?"
"Yes...... But they are very uncooperative and often passive and slack off!"
"Kill dozens of those who are leading the way! If the whip can't make them obedient, then use the butcher's knife to make them obedient! In any case, you must dig tunnels today, so that my Vampire King, Corpse Witch King, and Terror Knight troops can enter the Great Wall of Ice and Snow without any problems, and then attack the Night's Watch from the rear wing!"
"Yes, I'll do it!" said Stephen, bowing to his part.
The cold wind of the early morning swept the snowflakes and blew them like knives on people's faces. Bellerion stood on a high place, looking out at the neatly lined elite troops in the valley. From time to time, he listened attentively to the movements in the cave, hoping that Gu Shiyu would open his mouth to beg for mercy......
But he didn't. All he heard was incessant screams.
Outside the Great Wall of Ice and Snow.
Overnight, the night watchmen quietly pushed more than 100 trebuchets and ballistas into firing positions. Amphorae filled with underground fuel were already on trebuchets, and soldiers were holding torches ready to light them.
"Can we begin?" said the trebuchet commander.
Tanan looked around at the generals gathered around. Leo was not there, he had already led his knights to ambush on the side of the high ground not far from the undead position, ready to launch a deadly surprise attack.
"Let's get started! I ask you to shoot all the amphorae in the shortest possible time, so that the enemy's position will be turned into a sea of fire in an instant!"
"Yes!" the commander immediately ran back to his command position, raised his sword, and shouted loudly: "Ready!"
"Shoot!!"
Dozens of fireballs pierced the gray sky and roared towards the snowy fields where the undead were!
"Go back to your posts!Prepare to command your troops to attack!" Tanan mounted his horse and drew his sword from his waist.
As soon as the burning amphora hit the ground, huge flames immediately rose up!
Immediately there was a terrible howl in the snow! Do the zombies also know the pain of being burned by the flames? They staggered and scurried in the snow, their rotting clothes and flesh burning on fire, and finally collapsed into piles of bonfires!
How many amphorae did the trebuchets shoot? I don't know! I just know that there are flames burning everywhere in the vast snowfield!
There was no longer a trail of smoke in the sky, and the high ground in the middle of the wilderness came the loud voice of General Leo: "Warriors of the Knights of Leo, fight for your loved ones, for Erathia, follow me, and crush all the !! in your path."
More than 3,000 horses rushed down the hillside like a stream of lava, crisscrossing the positions of the army of the undead, destroying and trampling!
"Brave warriors, for the sake of honor, forward!" Tanan jumped his horse and raised his sword, and took the lead in charging forward!
He was followed by High Priest Eric. Eric let his blood-boiling horse gallop freely, his hands held high, and he chanted mantras in his mouth.
Immediately, a large dark red patch appeared in the sky! Immediately, countless burning meteorites fell from the sky with a sharp cracking sound, and ice and snow flew in all directions along with mud and stumps and severed arms!
The whole earth is burning and trembling!
