Chapter 369: The Nightmare Comes

The city gate slowly opened and the cavalry who successfully attacked returned triumphantly, and several accompanying magicians could not hide the joy in their eyes, this morning's raid made the cavalry destroy dozens of siege equipment, and the mages used fire spells to directly turn a building camp of the undead army into a sea of fire. While receiving flowers and compliments from the citizens, the guards on the city walls also looked excitedly at the black smoke rising from the camp of the army of the dead in the distance.

The adjutant in the command room held the battle report and reported loudly: "Your Excellency, the raid was very successful, only four of our cavalry were slightly wounded, and no one was killed. ”

The general in charge of defending the city nodded, took the report and carefully browsed it, for a moment the general's eyes were not only satisfied but also had a solemn look, according to the return of the cavalry report, although the raid was successful, but the undead outside the city had an unexpected combat ability, these undead were not as stiff and slow as the low-level undead in the past, in the process of fighting, several cavalry found that these skeletons and zombies moved very quickly, the most surprising thing is that many of the undead still retain some of the fighting methods of their lives, know swordsmanship and spearmanship, fortunately, the cavalry are equipped with solid armor, and the tattered weapons in the hands of the undead cannot pose a direct threat, but if the group fights on a large scale, these undead with strong combat power may explode with unimaginable destructive power.

The general put down the report in his hand, he was not a magician, and he didn't know how to use necromancer, according to some mages in the city who assisted in defending the city, low-level undead should be puppets without a mind, and they could only mechanically swing their swords and slash people and rely on necromancers to manipulate and act, and these low-level undead should not know any martial arts and tactics. But the description in the report is diametrically opposed.

Putting down the report, the general signaled to let the attacking cavalry have a good meal as a reward for the success of the raid, and then the general once again asked the accompanying mages to use spells to continue to monitor the whereabouts of the undead outside the city, in the screen of monitoring spells, there are more and more undead outside the city, and the entire city has been semi-surrounded, but fortunately, there are enough reserves of food in the city to support the siege of the city for ten days and half a month, and at the same time, the water source is thanks to these brainless skeletons, they don't seem to know how to cut the canal southeast of the city, but in fact, these don't matter, anyway, there is still a day and a half before the reinforcements will arrive, and there is also good news, the vanguard of reinforcements and the famous sea blue knight of the kingdom of Ballaika, Lord Ganilon, led by the knights, will arrive at noon today.

A well-armed order of seven hundred men. Plus the powerful combat power of Lord Garnilon. It is not difficult to fend off the undead and wait until all the reinforcements arrive.

That's it for now!

The general motioned to stop the spell and rubbed his eyes, which had been a little sleepy for the past few days: "I'll take a nap for a while, and if there is an emergency, come and wake me up immediately." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" the lieutenant saluted.

The water intake of the city of Granada, where a huge pool was built to store water for the city. A tributary of the river outside was excavated and a water gate was built to control the flow of water into the city. On weekdays, many citizens come here to fetch water. Today, there are many more soldiers and security units responsible for maintaining order at the water intake office. Because after being besieged by the undead, rumors spread in the city that the undead were going to cut off the water source, and many citizens who did not know the truth came to collect a large amount of water for storage, causing chaos at the water intake point. Upon learning of the situation, officials in the city immediately began to refute the rumors, arrested those who maliciously spread the rumors, and severely punished them.

Of course, the officials still attach great importance to the rumors that the undead are going to cut off the water source, so it is not that the scouts are sent out to lurk in the river outside the city to monitor the movements of the undead army. If the undead are found to have cut off the water source or poison the water, the city can also deal with it immediately. But fortunately, according to the reports of the scouts in the past few days, the undead besieging the city do not seem to have any intention of cutting off the water source, and none of the undead even came to the vicinity of the river bank, and the water source in the city is basically guaranteed.

At noon, when the smoke rose when the advance knights from the royal capital arrived on time, the arrival of the knights made the morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city greatly, from the initial panic to the gradual calm, now the citizens almost no one put the undead outside the city in their eyes, even if the undead immediately launched an offensive after the arrival of the knights, their side only needs to resist for one day to usher in the main force of the royal capital's army, the number of soldiers and militia in the city plus the fortifications and the advance knights, no one will think that the undead can capture the city in one day.

"Welcome, Lord Ganilon!"

The leader of the Knights, the number one powerhouse in the kingdom of Ballaika, Ganilon, took off his helmet and shook hands with the general who defended the city: "It seems that those skeletons have not yet launched an offensive. ”

"Hehe~ Although these undead did not attack, we did raid them once. The general also said with a smile on his face, the arrival of the knights was almost a foregone conclusion.

Accompanied by the general, the sea blue knight Ganilon climbed the city wall and looked at the camp of the undead army in the distance, the actions of these undead made people feel a little suspicious, originally Ganilon received an urgent order to learn that the city of Granada was surrounded by a sudden army of undead, as the advance force of Geganilon led the knights to rush to the city, originally thought that after arriving with the undead besieging the city to start a fierce battle, it turned out that those skeletons had been digging holes and building siege equipment outside the city for more than two days. The Knights entered the city without even being hindered, and just in time for lunch.

I have to say that this is really a strange thing that people don't know how to describe it! Are these skeletons outside the city running to fight, or are they running to scare people and then rolling back from there!?

Looking at this strange confrontation situation, Ganielon, who had fought on many battlefields, couldn't figure out what the undead army wanted to do: "Let's do this for the time being, if they don't attack the city, then wait until the main force of the army arrives, and then we will counter-encircle and suppress these undead." ”

Having said that, Ganilon still asked the general to strengthen the security in the city, this situation is too weird, if it is not that the manipulator of the army of the undead is a layman who knows nothing about military affairs, then the manipulator behind the undead must have some evil plan. It's always good to strengthen the city's fortification anyway, and anyway, there is still a little more than a day before reinforcements arrive, and then the situation on the battlefield will be reversed.

In the evening, Gaillon still had a pleasant dinner with various garrisons and generals in the city, and the members of the knights under Garnilon also had a good meal, after all, the members of the entire knight order were gnawing dry food and dried meat all the way to here, and it was not easy to have some free time, and a delicious hot meal was naturally a good way to boost morale.

Outside the city, the undead army still didn't move until dusk, just blindly increasing its troops and building various equipment as usual.

Ganillon stood on the tower and looked at the blue ocean like a torrent in the distance, although the number seems to be huge, but the army composed of low-level undead can tear a big gap in it in just one turn under the charge of the knights, the only pity is that the ordinary human army may have collapsed in the face of this offensive, but the undead without emotion may close the gap and surround the knights who broke into it.

Touching his beard, Ganilong pondered these questions, the opponent in front of him was not a flesh-and-blood human, and there were many things to consider when facing inhuman monsters.

"Hmm~ Why do you always feel a little sleepy. Suddenly, a feeling of tiredness welled up in his heart, and Ganillon patted his forehead to regain his energy a little.

Seeing that the undead didn't seem to have any intention of launching an offensive tonight, Ganilon, who was getting more and more tired, also turned around and returned to the castle, the sea blue knight didn't take off his armor and just lay down on the sofa to rest, and the knights who arrived here are also resting, anyway, as long as it is after tonight, the main force of the army will arrive around noon tomorrow, and then you can surround these undead with the army, and rebury these dead people who desecrate the realm of the living in one fell swoop.

Ganilon, who felt that his head was getting more and more groggy, gradually fell asleep after the waiter he ordered

In the middle of the night, the sleeping Ganilon continued to sweat profusely on his forehead, and the sea blue knight let out a whimper, and his limbs began to twitch abnormally. Until a sharp scream sounded, and Ganilon, who was trapped in a nightmare, suddenly woke up!

The moment he woke up, Ganilong suddenly found that his whole body was extremely heavy, and his whole body seemed to be collapsed, and he couldn't exert his strength. As a sea blue knight, Ganilong instantly reacted that he was afraid that he was poisoned.

"Guards, hurry up!" Ganillon gritted his teeth and stood up, subconsciously pulling out his sword, and then shouted loudly.

The guards outside the door seemed to have disappeared and no one answered, and suddenly Ganilon had a sense of crisis in his heart, and hurriedly opened the door to introduce Ganilon to a terrible scene in front of him, the guards in the castle were lying in a pool of blood beyond recognition, and the guards were lying on their stomachs several soldiers in armor, and at this moment these soldiers were tearing at the guards' corpses with mouthfuls of blood.

When watching the soldiers tear off pieces of bloody flesh and swallow them in their mouths, Ganilon, who had developed an excellent sense of battle on the battlefield, quickly swung his sword and cut off the head of one of the soldiers, while the other soldier seemed to notice Ganilon's appearance, and the soldier who stood up slowly was like a ghoul who smelled the breath of a living person, and pounced with his bloody mouth open!

"Bastard!" Garnilon's sword swung in a fit of rage, and in an instant the soldier was split in half from beginning to end.

After a full blow, a strange sense of detachment swept through his body again, and Ganilon supported his body and walked to the window to check what was going on, and when the sea blue knight looked out of the window, the scene on the street was imprinted into Ganilon's eyes like the most terrible nightmare.
