Chapter 59: The Knight's Soul (I)
Ready!"
"Array!"
"Cheer up!"
"Attack!"
On the blood-stained horizon, Grand Duke Tancred, with his elite knights, launched a suicidal charge against the army of the undead!
Two thousand bretonnian knights, armed with spears and swords, charged from behind the legion of the undead summoned by Heinrich.
The earth trembled, his eyes swayed, and he clenched the reins, and Tallinnham charged with the large army, and as in countless previous battles, he could not see the enemy, and could only charge behind the knights of the kingdom.
The horses trampled on the ground, splashing mud and blood, and the rain washed over the armor, and the drenched Tallinnam felt extremely weak, but he could not withdraw from the battlefield. As Berto's loyal guard, he can't quit as long as the lord doesn't quit the battle!
"For the king!"
Ahead, the impassioned roars of the knights and the neighing of countless war horses sounded!
Tallinnham knew that the cavalry of the first column had crashed into the wall of bones and carrion.
After a while, the vision in front of them suddenly cleared, and the knights in the front row broke through the defense line of the undead army, tearing a hole in the zombies and ghouls. The cavalry behind followed the gap into the center of the army of the undead.
Yes, right center...... There, it was the place where the entire Bretonnian coalition suffered heavy casualties, and while the knights were charging on the perimeter, the Bretonnian peasant army on the frontal front did not know how many casualties had been killed......
Tallinnam only felt the smell of blood getting stronger, and all around him were the undead except for the knights and their horseback attendants. Countless zombies and skeletons are besieging the knights of Quinaris from all sides.
Not far away, the battle flag of Duke Tancored had stopped flying, and it was almost stationary. Besieged by layers of undead infantry, even the Grand Duke himself was powerless to escape. The knights of the kingdom around him defended the Grand Duke to the death, and the sound of steel colliding and the muffled roar of zombies resounded.
The battlefield is chaotic, and Tallinnham has no intention of paying attention to the death of the Grand Duke, he only focuses on his lord Berto and his sweetheart, Innya.
Just as Tallinnam was anxious that he couldn't find Berto and Inya, a familiar shout came from the battlefield not far away. Looking in the direction from which the voice came, Tallinnham saw the familiar figure. Inya was wearing that silver armor and fighting in the crowd. Her helmet had been knocked off, her short blonde hair had been soaked in the torrential rain, and her once shiny armor was now covered in mud and blood.
"Inya!"
Tallinnham shouted, trying to make himself visible. However, there were too many zombies around, and the muffled roars of the undead drowned out the cries of Tallinnam.
He could only clamp the war horse and order the war horse to rush up. However, the position was too narrow for the war horses to rush at all. He didn't take two steps before he was surrounded by hordes of zombies. A raging ghoul soared into the air and threw Tallinnham off his horse.
Completely instinctive, Tallinnham held the sword in both hands and turned the tip of the sword outward, and in an instant, the ghoul that pressed it up collided with the sword. The tip of the sword pierced through the ghoul's rotting skin and plunged into the abdominal cavity. As the frenzied ghoul struggled, Tallinnham picked up his uninjured left hand and punched the ghoul, blasting the deranged ghoul's head and spewing brains and foul-smelling sewage all over the ground.
When he drew his sword again, Tallinnham felt like he was on the verge of collapse. There was a sharp pain in my arm.
I can't fight anymore!
Talinnam reminded and admonished himself, but Inya was not far away, and the figure of the Rosenkavalier was like a hope in his heart, inspiring him.
I can't let you go!
Enduring the severe pain, Tallinnham fought in the direction of Grand Duke Tankred. Because, that's where Inya is.
He saw that the slender figure was surrounded by mad zombies and ghouls, and the Raven's Sword struck nimbly, slicing off a zombie's head and severing a ghoul's arm. An undead creature fell at the feet of the Rose Knight. However, there are limits to human beings. On several occasions, Tallinnam saw Inya almost fall to the ghouls, leaving shocking wounds on her shoulders and calves.
Inya ......
Tallinnam wanted to call out his sweetheart's name, but he heard the terrible screams of the Bretonnian soldiers not far away. Looking in the direction from which the voice came, it can no longer be called a battlefield, but a slaughterhouse...... A skeletal warrior much taller than the other undead was wielding a giant battle axe that was a man tall, slaughtering all living creatures around him......
"Undead Commander?"
Tallinnham asked himself. It didn't take long for him to get an answer. Grand Duke Tankred shouted for everyone to besiege the monster, but it was like an egg hitting a stone......
The big skeleton warrior with a giant axe, like a meat grinder, set off a bloody storm in the crowd. Completely by brute force, this gigantic undead warrior slashed down and slashed down swaths of Bretonnian soldiers, slicing them into the air......
The Black Axe, full of the power of chaos, easily slashed the human infantry around him, despite the Duke's order to attack. However, the peasant infantry of Bretonnia were afraid. The soldiers who rushed forward were all dismembered by the undead commander...... Yes, real dismemberment...... Güll, the commander of the undead legions, ruled the battlefield with immense strength, and an old Bretonnian peasant raised his spear and bravely stabbed at the monster. The iron spearhead could not penetrate the sturdy armor of the undead commander. As soon as the undead turned around, he grabbed the brave Bretonnian militia.
The commander of the undead legion, Güll, with a terrifying ghostly fire burning in his hollow eye sockets, held the body of an old Bretonnian peasant in one hand and a battle axe in the other, and with a drag of his skeletal arm, the blade of the axe slashed through the throat of the human infantryman, and blood rushed out. The whole process takes less than three seconds, and it is as effortless as killing a chicken.
Another brave knight rode his horse and rushed towards it. However, with a single axe, the brave Bretonnian knight was slashed by the black axe of the undead commander. The whole person was split in two, along with the war horse, and scarlet blood and internal organs poured out from the split body...... The terrifying images made everyone afraid to come forward.
"Knights of Bretonnia, for the king, for the goddess of the lake!
In the darkest moments, Grand Duke Tancored personally went into battle, shouting the slogan of the kingdom.
The noble unicorn charged. With the determination to die, he rushed to this monster that was burning with ghostly fire. Tallinnham only felt his heart hang in his throat, for he saw the presence of the Rose Knight in the ranks that followed the Duke's charge...... The white battle flag, the silver-white battle armor stained red with blood......
