Nine Chapters: The Immortal Siege
The torrential rain poured down, washing over the bony faces of the skeleton warriors. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoHalfway through the night, the four villages in the jurisdiction of the Dangerous Rock Fort have been "brushed" by Shande, and more than 500 skeleton soldiers have driven into the perimeter of the castle. As Sander had predicted, the demons would not spare everyone, and the vast majority of the villagers were demonized, still adhering to the belief of Sakaram, and there were very few Liao Liao who were still humans, and had been impaled and executed by other villagers long before they arrived. Thor had offered to bury them, but Sander refused to let this delay him, and it was already the greatest mercy that he did not summon their corpses as skeleton soldiers.
"Steady, wait for the little girl's signal. Sander looked coldly at the castle not far away, as he had said before, the McAures were excellent architects, and Baron Derrick was no exception. The castle is impregnable, with a wide moat that is so deep and poisonous that even in the middle of the night that the gods don't want to swim through, and there are lookouts and battlements in all directions, so that well-trained soldiers are ready to attack even in the middle of the night. Therefore, Shande's action plan needs to cooperate closely with the two parties, and there can be no mistakes.
"Boom!" A blast of lightning rang out in the clouds, and dazzling lightning struck the soldiers on the highest lookout unbiasedly. With a terrible scream, he turned into a fiery ball of fire and fell from the castle, turning into a pitch-black char before it could hit the ground.
"What's going on?" The soldiers patrolling the ground were shocked and hurried over to check, but the thunder rang out overhead, and lightning slashed at each lookout one after another, and the poor soldiers standing guard on it all turned into screaming fireballs before they could react.
"No, go and tell the Baron!" The patrol captain's face changed suddenly, and he gave the order in a hurry, but an arrow that flew from nowhere pierced his throat, and he fell to the ground, kicking his legs and not moving.
"Captain!" Several soldiers screamed and surrounded them, but they were shocked to see the captain's corpse twitch violently, and a few seconds later, there was a loud "bang", the fire and the minced flesh flew together, and the corpse actually exploded! Those soldiers were blown up on the spot, their flesh and blood were blurred, their stomachs were broken, and the nearest few people died on the spot, and a few people who were a little farther away also fell in a pool of blood and wailed in their throats, and even idiots could see that the castle was attacked!
"When, when, when!" The alarm bell finally sounded, and the lights of the castle windows were lit one after another: the castle's military forces were quickly mobilized, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the infantry, cavalry, and knights commanding them were dispatched to meet the invading enemy. However, as soon as they lined up, they were horrified to find that the castle had been surrounded.
Bai Sensen's Bone Legion has already surrounded the Dangerous Rock Fort.
"What's the matter, why didn't the guards stationed in the outlying villages report back?" one of the knights shouted angrily. How could he have known that those guards had already been taken care of by the Shande and became a member of the White Bone Legion! The rattling White Bone Legion advanced steadily, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the knights strengthened their minds and commanded their soldiers to stabilize their positions and prepare to meet the attack, and at the same time turned back and waved their torches, signaling the garrison inside the castle to prepare to carry out a long-range attack on the enemy from a high position. Seeing that the enemy army entered the firing range, the battlement commanders shouted loudly to order their crossbowmen to reload and aim, but their doom came earlier than the comrades in the army formation below!
"Boom!" A bolt of lightning struck the highest battlement with precision, and the flames exploded, scattering masonry and rubble, and several crossbowmen with broken bones and tendons fell down screaming. More lightning bolts slashed into the other battlements, and the fire points on the high part of the castle were half dumb in a few moments, and the few crossbow bullets that succeeded in firing could not effectively damage the Bone Legion, and the skeletons had already accelerated their charge.
Although terrified, the knights of Derrick still maintained their proper military quality and aristocratic spirit, and they led the cavalry to raise their spears and shout loudly to line up the attack array, and kill them against the sea of skeletons. The charge of the medieval heavy cavalry was quite powerful, and even the White Bone Legion could not withstand it! The skeleton soldiers who bore the brunt of it were pierced by the cavalry spears on the spot, and then crushed to pieces by the iron hooves that followed. But after all, the sea of bones was huge and there was no fear, and when the cavalry's momentum decreased slightly, the bone knife chopped over the horses' hooves, and suddenly the flesh and blood flew sideways, the war horses fell to the ground neighingly, and the cavalry who fell off their horses were instantly chopped into meat sauce. The knights shouted and commanded their still alive men to make a detour, only to find that the surviving cavalry was no longer enough to launch the next charge!
Looking back at the castle, most of the battlements had been blasted open by lightning, billowing smoke was emitting, and the long-range strike capability of the Dangerous Rock Fort was already very small. The knights saddled and dismounted, drew their swords and shouted, "Shield wall!"
The infantry shouted, plucking up courage and preparing to attack: although they did not know where the enemy was coming, they were not fools, the skeleton army had no mercy at all, and it was impossible to pay attention to surrender or beg for mercy, only by fighting to the death could there be hope of survival! However, after all, the soldiers of Weiyan Fort were well-trained, and the spearmen followed up in time, with battle cries repeatedly, strings of spears stabbed outward along the gaps in the shield wall, and the first few rows of skeleton soldiers were immediately stabbed into ribs and skewered burned, and after a few rounds of spears were retracted, there were already a lot of messy dry bones piled up outside the shield wall.
"I didn't expect that brother of mine to be quite expected. Shande, who was supervising the battle in the rear, sneered, "It seems that order is always an advantage, but the old man has no time to play with you!"
With a wave of his hand, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the sea of skeletons: the Iron Stone Demon. It made a cacophony of metal grinding and rushed straight into the shield wall, a force that the soldiers couldn't resist. The spears stabbed at it, sparkling brightly, and then snapped, and then the shield wall was knocked out of a gap, and four or five shield soldiers were knocked away on the spot, falling to the ground with a miserable cry. Massive skeletons poured into the gap behind the Iron Stone Demon, but this was only the beginning of the nightmare!
This steel stone demon, however, was summoned by a holy weapon, and after it broke through the shield wall, it immediately released a bright holy light, and the soldiers' originally orderly military formation came to an end.
"Whoaa......a Your own knight chief!
Several knights who didn't have time to react were torn to pieces in an instant by the demonized soldiers who turned against each other, and I also knew that there were definitely not a few soldiers who had been affected by demonic power, and they appeared one after another like a chain reaction, from disciplined warriors to crazy bloodthirsty monsters fighting on their own. Having lost their formidable formation, the Skeleton Legion immediately broke through and slashed the castle defenders to the ground.
"I can't stand it, retreat!" shouted one of the knights, and as soon as he turned around, his expression froze: the other knight beside him was also trembling all over, making a strange scream, and turned into a monster with a face full of sores. "Whew!" The demonized knight opened his mouth wide and pounced on him frantically with his fangs, greedily tearing open his neck and began to eat his flesh, only to be instantly drowned by the rushing skeleton soldiers, chopped into pulp.
Yes, Nokolan's belief in "Bara" has infiltrated a considerable part of the knights of Fort Danger, and they have been irreversibly demonized. Chaos, absolute chaos! The battlefield under the castle has turned into a one-sided slaughter. The remnants of the human garrison completely collapsed, and they ran to the drawbridge in despair to escape back to the castle, only to find that the retreat had been completely blocked: the skeleton soldiers were not afraid of the poison of the moat, and had already crossed the moat to cut the iron cables of the drawbridge and occupied the castle gate!
Slaughter, merciless slaughter.
Finally, there was not a single living human soldier outside the castle, nor a living demonic creature. The skeletons rushed across the drawbridge and into the castle gates, followed by a calm Shande and an admiring Issenhard, Thor, and Zhang Long.
"Don't take it lightly," Sander warned the remaining three, "It's a tough battle inside the castle, do your best to destroy those knights, and reduce the obstacles for the little girl to behead the demons!"
