Chapter 061: Lost
When the soldiers walked to the side and looked down to see that the army of ghost corpses had climbed more than half the distance, all the pain vanished, burning with the potential of their bodies, drawing their bows and shooting arrows, blocking the attack of the ghost corpses.

The smoke in the darkness suddenly came towards the soldiers' pavement, making them choke and cough constantly, and they wondered why the wind suddenly blew, but who shouted, "Dragon corpse, dragon corpse." ā
In an instant, all the soldiers saw a dragon corpse appear in their field of vision, and in horror, there was still a brave regimental commander who shouted, "It's the king of ghost corpses, release arrows, release arrows." ā
"I'm not here to kill you, you don't have to. The king of ghost corpses standing on the back of the dragon corpse said lightly.
Lin Yu was originally placing arrows in the crowd, and when he heard the sound over there, he ran over directly, but there were already a lot of soldiers gathered there, so he could only stand on the left, looking at the corpse dragon and the somewhat vague ghost corpse king from a distance.
"I'm giving you a chance, lay down your weapons and leave this hellish place, even the king won't save you, why should you die for the empire, or you can be loyal to me, just like them. The Ghost King pointed down.
The soldiers looked down and saw a large group of human soldiers coming neatly, well-armed and imposing.
"Yes, I need slaves to be my food, but... I also need capable warriors, you are all warriors that I admire, you don't have to die here, I know you're tired. ā
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Nick squeezed through the crowd and walked over, he looked at the king of ghosts who couldn't see his true face except for the black robe, "Don't waste your efforts, you can't break through the mountains, as long as I'm here." ā
"Huh. The King of Ghost Corpses chuckled, "I'm just here to give these young people a chance, a chance to live." You all know that my army is more than that, and you, who came to save you, as far as I know, the nobles of the human race have armies, you have lit the beacon fire, so many days have passed, and I still see you. There are three days left, and if my army launches a general attack, you will all have to die, as well as your loved ones. As long as you are willing to surrender now, or leave the mountains, or kill the officers around you, or take refuge in me, I will accept it, and I will spare the person you care about. ā
"You don't want them to become rebels, we'd rather die than surrender to you. Monterey said.
"No, you will not die in battle, you will only die of exhaustion, exhaustion from despair. After speaking, the king of the ghost corpse turned his head to the right, glanced at the crowd over there, and then reversed direction, and the dragon corpse flipped its wings and began to leave.
"Give up, you're doomed, pathetic humanity. In the distance, another word came from the departing King of Ghost Corpses.
The king of the ghosts left, and all the stopped attacks resumed, and the ghosts, which had been more than half the distance, climbed up even more frantically, faster.
"Spread out, attack, quick!" Monterey shouted almost with a roar.
But suddenly, the sound of the trumpet below caught his attention, and the human army retreated, and instead a dense army of ghost corpses appeared in their field of vision, blowing the horn, announcing the beginning of the final general assault. Because of the light, they couldn't see how many troops were there, but they could see ten rows of troops.
Everyone was shocked to see this scene, although they had killed a lot of ghost corpses these days, but how many had they killed in total, the ghost corpses had an army of 160,000, and that was the data obtained two years ago.
"The King of Ghosts is right, we're doomed. A soldier looked at the ghost corpse below and muttered. Then he discarded his bow and arrows, gave up his attack, and began to walk towards Fort Yellowstone in a panic.
"What are you going to do?" he was stopped by a regimental commander. Monterey heard the voice and walked over.
"No, we're going to lose, I don't want to die, let me go. The soldier roared, causing many people to watch.
Suddenly, Monterey drew his sword, pierced his heart with a sword, and then looked at everyone, "Attack, hurry up." ā
In peacetime, this is indeed the best way to calm the morale of the army, otherwise the appearance of a rebel army will cause a large number of people to mutiny. But now, because of the long period of exhaustion and mental torture, maybe the soldier just went crazy, but when Monterey killed the soldier, the last straw that pressed on the soldiers' mental defense line was also cut off.
They fought for the Empire, fought for humanity, but no one was willing to come to their aid, why should they save a group of people who are greedy for life and death, selfish, greedy for enjoyment, and completely disregard their life and death, why should they be here all the time to fight against the ghosts and corpses, and end up being killed by the human leader.
In addition to the soldiers who committed suicide and died of exhaustion, this was the first soldier to be beheaded by their commander.
One of the soldiers went completely insane, roared and drew his sword and slashed at Monterey, "I'm going to kill you." ā
He rushed over, but Monterey cut off his head with a single sword, "You want to do it too..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a large group of red-eyed, angry soldiers holding long swords, he swallowed the words and said with some fear, "What do you want to do, if you become rebels, we will all die, and the ghosts will not let us go." ā
Suddenly, a sword passed through his heart from behind, Monterey glared, and slowly turned around to see that it was actually Nick who killed him from behind, "Why?"
"I wanted to kill you when you insisted on opening the magic circle, but I didn't have the right to do that at that time. Monterey, you're such a stupid fellow, you don't deserve to look at your brother with your sword, you deserve to die. With that, Nick grabbed the sword and kicked Monterey off the Wall.
His move made many people stunned, but at the same time they were a lot more sober.
Nick said, holding the Blood Sword, "I know you're all very tired, and you could even become a madman at any moment. Maybe the empire has failed us, maybe we don't have reinforcements at all, but we are people, our duty is not to protect the people south of the mountains, our duty is to fend off the invasion of ghosts, we have all sworn before the gods. Now, I promise you that if we work together to defeat the ghosts completely, I will let those who want to leave leave the expeditionary force and become free men, but now, it is time for you to take up your weapons and meet the enemy, and by the way, tell the soldiers further away what I said, we will fight only for ourselves. ā
"Attack. "Nick's words did work to inspire, and now they are burning in despair with hope that if they can successfully stop this attack, they can get out of this damn place, and yes, they are about to be free.
At the sound of the order, the soldiers in this area launched an attack in unison, the soldiers who transported the supplies were faster, and the commanders were more combative, and soon, the battle of the entire Great Wall began to restore order, restore combat effectiveness, and restore their faith.
Below, the dense army of ghost corpses began to climb from any place, as dense as ants, although the fire oil continued to fall, although it would cause them burning death, but the ghost corpses did not need fighting spirit, they only had the desire to eat.
Because the gate was closed, those ghost corpses stepped directly on the hill to the mountain wall above the gate, and continued to climb here, fearless of life and death, fearless of flames.
Lin Yu attacked hard, but at the same time, he felt that something was wrong, why did the king of ghosts come here, did he just want the soldiers to rebel and not break themselves? The expeditionary force is not an ordinary soldier, most of them have fought with ghosts and corpses too many times, coupled with Nick's own leadership ability, it has not caused the result that the king of ghosts wants at all, so what is the purpose?
Lin Yu pondered, thinking that if he wanted to break through the mountain range by climbing over the mountain range, he was afraid that most of the ghost corpse army would be killed or injured, and it was very likely that he would not succeed tonight, and the easiest thing to break through the mountain range was to break through the gate.
"Gate!" Lin Yu suddenly thought of this question, and then immediately ran to the left.
The gate was under the Red Stone Castle, in the middle of the Kara Mountains, when Lin Yu ran over, he couldn't see the gate at all when he looked down, he could only see a lot of ghost corpses rushing up from the slopes below, and there were not only people inside, but also other races. Maybe everyone was busy attacking the ghost corpses, and they didn't find that this was turned into a hill because of the broken stones, which happened to become an obstacle that blocked everyone's vision, Lin Yu saw that many ghost corpses close to both sides of the hill did not climb the wall, but disappeared, just because there were too many ghost corpses, they couldn't be found at all.
"The door has been opened?" Lin Yu was extremely strange in his heart, but when he saw that the green ape man also disappeared quickly, he was sure of the answer in his heart, the door must have been lifted by the green ape man.
Lin Yu turned around, grabbed a legion commander's collar directly and said, "The door is opened, drop all the weapons, quick." With that, he ran frantically towards Greystone Castle.
The legion commander was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lin Yu was crazy, he walked to the side and looked down, retracting his gaze, but it seemed that something was wrong, he lowered his head and stared at the mound below carefully, and immediately exclaimed, "Quick, even the oil drum attack, attack." ā
There is a huge shelf on which ten oil drums can be stored at a time. The soldier on guard heard the command, took control of the shelf, and directly turned into an angle of almost ninety degrees, all the oil drums fell, and then an arrow exploded violently and burned.
