It was a medallion-like object depicting a skull whose eye sockets were smeared with red paint as if to symbolize something. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mage Aite had confirmed to Horst that the creatures he had seen in the Monster Mountains were undead. Of course, Horst didn't see the specific appearance of the undead due to the darkness of the night, but Master Aite described it to Horst in detail and told him the logo of the undead organization. It was like the medal Horst had taken from Tucker, but it would appear wherever the undead haunted or stayed.

In the same eye sockets, fiery red flames give people a sense of evil. Horst frowned, he knew that if this medal really represented the undead in the land of war, then what were their intentions, and why would they attack the village of Nus?

Moreover, there is an obvious problem, in the news that came back to the imperial capital, there was no report of the undead. Maybe it's a coincidence, the undead just passed by here and didn't participate in the attack on Nus, or maybe the undead came after the Clark Empire attacked Nuss Village, both of which are possible. Horst couldn't be sure which one it was, after all, if the undead were involved in the war, they would attract the attention of the world.

Continue to help Tucker clean up his house that is almost in ruins, looking for something valuable. This was Tucker's home, but from now on, Tucker never had a home again. Like Horst, he will be left without a father or mother, and will be an orphan.

As night fell, the trio returned to the campsite, which was not far in front of the village of Nus, and the bodies of the victims had been cleaned up in advance. Directly in front of the campsite was the border defense line of the northern frontier, the endless wall of the city, which was stained with blood and seemed to cry something.

Except for the soldiers and cadets who were on duty at night, the rest of them went into the camp tents to rest.

Tucker was still a little sad, and Horst estimated that he ran to the wall and hid in the corner, crying silently. Instead of going to Tucker, Horst knew that it was better to be alone than anything. Through the Magic Sound Stone, Horst informed Master Aite of what he had seen during the day, and Master Aite only told him to be careful and would relay the situation to Dean Dimmit.

Mage Aite also came to the border defense line of the northern frontier, but as a high-level mage, he generally stayed in the Rhine Fortress.

"Horst, have you spotted O'Neill and Otis?" Sattar asked Horst as soon as he returned to the camp, "I haven't seen them all the way since I came out of the Imperial Capital. ”

Although O'Neill and Otis are not in the same class as Horst, they are in the same grade. During the march, it was according to the grade, but it was logically possible to see these two people, not the current situation where it is difficult to see the two after being stationed in different defensive borders as a class.

"Nothing should have happened, right? Why are you mentioning the two of them, the Ao family doesn't care about us, I am naturally disgusted with this family. Horst's face sank, and he remembered the scene when Otis teased Moria. Thinking of Molya, Horst still remembered that he had written a letter to Moliya before leaving, and he didn't know if she had received it in the past few days.

"That's what you say, but anyway, we don't seem to have seen them since that incident. Including the Ao family, it seems that it is difficult to hear from them, could there be any reason for this?" Sattar was a little worried, not because of the safety of O'Neill and Otis, but because he was worried that something bad would happen.

"We've only arrived here today, and the news from the imperial capital won't come until tomorrow, so let's sleep. Horst shook his head, the Ao family has not shown up for a long time, eighty percent of them have important things, as for what it is, he is not an immortal, it is difficult to know.

The night was hazy, the moon was creeping up into the middle of the sky, and the camp was quiet, except for the soldiers and mages on duty on the walls of the border defenses.

On the banks of the Rhine, figures gradually gathered, and then jumped into the river, and then swam straight across the Rhine to the south bank.

The sound of ropes hooking the walls of the city rang out one after another, followed by the sound of a horn "Woo-woo" resounded throughout the defensive line of the village section of Nus on the northern frontier.

"Enemy attack-" The sound of the horn resounded throughout the camp.

Horst immediately woke up from his sleep, got dressed, and immediately followed the large army to the city walls.

"Kill!" shouted earth-shattering, this is not immersive, this is the real feeling of war.

There were not many soldiers on duty, but as the trumpets sounded, a large number of soldiers with bows and arrows and logs on their shoulders climbed the city wall. The mages summoned their own summoned beasts to help guard the walls.

It was midnight, but it was like daylight in the light of the fire.

Horst and Sattar climbed the wall, and the soldiers around them kept shooting arrows downward, hoping to prevent the other from climbing the wall. Despite the fire, the bow and arrow are very difficult to hit due to the poor accuracy of the bow and arrow aimed at the enemy.

Logs fell, and Horst could only hear screams, but soldiers continued to climb.

"Is the Clark Empire going crazy?In order to find the flashpoint of the war, it was good to assassinate Princess Alice in public, which led to the cancellation of the national-level summoning mage competition. Now, it's a night attack on the border defense line, what is it for?"

"Brothers, smash me hard, and to hell with this group of **** Clark Imperial soldiers!"

"All summoning mages listen to the order, summon the Methane Beast immediately!" an officer commanded from a high place, followed by a woman dressed in an elemental mage costume, the woman's face was grim, but there seemed to be a faint anger in her eyes.

Hearing the order, Horst immediately summoned the Methane Beast, and the Hidden Demon Rat Spirit pet the main summoning beast, and the summoned beast immediately had life.

"Obey my orders, all the methane beasts are thrown under the walls at once, and the labor and management will burn this group of Clark Empire soldiers. There was resentment in the officer's tone.

"Blazing!" the woman-like elemental mage held her hands up, and a dragon of blue flames flew out from between her hands in the light of the torches around her.

"Throw!"

Hearing the order, Horst and the other mages threw the methane beasts outside the city walls, and under the control of the spiritual power, countless methane beasts fell at the same speed.

The blue flame dragon roared down, passing through the summoned beasts one by one, and then the raging fire quickly rose. The flames that the methanemon burned were also blue, and the blue flames mixed with the heat scorched the Clark Empire soldiers who climbed the city walls.

The screams were repeated, and the smell of burnt paste immediately reached everyone's noses.

"Wow-" Someone smelled the smell and couldn't help but vomit, it was an extremely bad smell.

"All, lie down!"

Before the officer's words could be spoken, an arrow pierced his head and killed him in an instant.

Then, under the light of torches, in the night sky, countless feather arrows flew towards the city wall like flying locusts.

"Poof—"

"Plop-" The sound of feather arrows piercing flesh rang out one after another, and those soldiers or mages who didn't have time to lie down became the souls of the archers of the Clark Empire.

A feathered arrow also hit Horst, but fortunately it was night, and the archer's accuracy was not so good, and the feathered arrow only hit Horst's small arm.

Pull out the feathered arrows and apply the mage potion brought from the summoning mage's guild, and the wound heals quickly.

At this time, it was still raining arrows, and Horst had to crawl to the corner, and most of the soldiers and mages around him became dead souls under the arrows, but fortunately, there were still living people, so that Horst would not become a lonely person.

"Damn, the Clark Empire is really crazy, how many archers are equipped with this, under the random arrows, there are almost no living mouths. A soldier scolded, this soldier has obviously experienced war and has great skills, but many mages, they have not received formal training from the army, and as soon as they enter the battlefield, they will never wake up.

Tucker and Sattar also crawled forward to the corner where Horst and the others were staying, which was a dead end for bows and arrows, and feathered arrows could not shoot here.

"Listen, the Clark Imperial soldiers under the walls are climbing the walls again, they have the cover of archers, and our men can't raise their heads at all. Horst said, his eyes complicated.

Just now, the opposite archer fired a volley, which caused many people on his side to die. Even the officer in command did not have time to give the order to lie down completely, and he was accidentally killed.

"Horst, I'm afraid all of these people have to count on you?" Tucker's eyes were slightly red, "yes, it's you, I'm afraid only you can stop them from climbing the walls." ”

"Me?" Tucker's words made Horst stunned, completely unable to understand what he had to do to be able to repel the Clark Imperial soldiers who had climbed the walls.

"That's right, you're the only one of our surviving summoners who can summon the Benzon. Tucker's voice was not soft, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Horst.

"Can you summon the Benzene Beast?" the female elemental mage, who had been next to the officer before, had also come to this corner to avoid the rain of arrows, and looked at Horst with extremely hopeful eyes.

Horst nodded vigorously under everyone's gaze.

"Young man, listen, the rotating cutting of the Benzene Beast, if it is controlled by strong spiritual power, can run on a certain trajectory. I cover the surface of the Benzomon with water and freeze it to become a sharp, spinning ice wheel that can quickly cut through their ropes. The female elemental mage explained her plan to Horst, "When the time comes, we will be able to stop them from climbing the walls." ”

"Magic Fusion Technique?" Horst said subconsciously, as if he had used this magic fusion technique himself.

"Well, that's right!"

"Benzene beasts!" four benzene beasts appeared in front of Horst, the same shape, "Is four benzene beasts enough?"

"Uh-huh, you have four spirit pets?" the female elemental mage's face was full of consternation, including the faces of the other summoning mages around her.

"How powerful is your spiritual power? You can actually control four summoned beasts at the same time? It seems that it is only possible if you have reached the third order of summoning mages, right?"
