Text Chapter 254: A Sudden Battle
Three days later, Leo and his party had already left the territory of the Gray Eagle Kingdom and entered the territory of the Stuart Kingdom.
However, compared to the Gray Eagle Kingdom, the current situation of the Stewart Kingdom is even more critical, and along the way, Leo has seen basically villages and towns that have been ravaged by the undead, as well as refugees fleeing to the shelter.
He used a loaf of bread to get the direction of the nearest shelter from the refugees.
Ten kilometers to the north, near the Red Dragon Fort.
"Red Dragon Castle is here?"
Leo was a little surprised to hear the news, and he remembered that Nichols had been in the tournament, and it seemed that Nichols' brand family was the owner of the Red Dragon Castle.
"Let's go check it out. Yan Shen's eyes flashed, and she also thought of it, but she didn't care too much, all she was thinking about was going to the shelter to cleanse little Herm of the plague.
They set off quickly, and after walking for nearly half an hour, a familiar complex of buildings surrounded by black walls came into view.
However, to their surprise, at this time, outside the walls of this shelter, there were many refugees stranded, making noise, as if they had been stopped by soldiers.
"Please, let my daughter in! she's just been wiped by the undead, and she'll be fine if the priest makes a move!"
As Leo approached, he heard such a sentence, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the woman in front of the crowd with a pleading look on her face.
She was constantly bowing to the soldiers defending the city, holding a very quiet little girl in her right hand, who looked very cute, but there was a shallow blood mark on her arm, with the same green lines that had appeared on Little Hem's body before.
Leo saw that the soldiers defending the city looked unbearable after hearing the woman's words, but they still blocked the only gate of the city, preventing the women and the refugees behind them from entering.
"Give up, the priest can only treat people who have been infected with the plague for less than ten minutes, and your daughter is now in a state that she can't be saved. The young-looking soldier with a scar on his chin sighed, and a burst of fighting energy erupted from his body, shaking the refugees away, and said at the same time.
When the soldier said this, Leo felt that the sorrowful aura of Yan beside him suddenly became unstable.
He turned his head sideways and saw Yan Shen pursing his lips tightly with a lost expression.
Leo suddenly understood that Yan Shen was worried because of the soldier's words and thought of Little Herm, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, even if the priest can't help it, when I come back from Odin's Abyss, I have a way." ”
"Really?" Yan Shen's beautiful eyes slowly lit up, and then she felt that something was wrong, the people of the Holy See couldn't solve it, how could Leo solve it? She glanced at Leo suspiciously, and asked.
Leo said very seriously: "I promise." ”
"Hmm. Hearing this, Yan Shenchou felt the confidence in Leo's words, and for some reason believed him, and nodded lightly.
"Sister, brother, they are so pitiful......"
At this time, little Hem in Yan's sorrowful arms suddenly spoke, pointing to the side with his little finger, Leo looked over and found that it was the mother and daughter.
He glanced back and saw that the soldiers were already organizing the other refugees to enter the city in an orderly manner, and he immediately understood.
When the mother learned that her daughter could not be saved, she must have given up hope and did not plan to go to the city......
Thinking of this, Leo sighed lightly, said to Yan Shenchou, took out a drop of holy water that was enough to suppress the undead plague for half a month, and walked towards the mother and daughter.
Although there is no way to save her directly, it is a little bit that I can help, Leo thought to himself.
But at this moment, a cold light suddenly shot out from the woods next to the mother and daughter, breaking through the air, and the speed was extremely fast.
When the soldiers defending the city saw this scene, their faces changed greatly, but they did not react quickly enough to go to the rescue.
Leo snorted coldly, and his figure rushed to the mother and daughter in an instant, raised his arm, and held the cold light steadily.
Click!
An arrow made from the bones of an unknown creature turned into powder and leaked from Leo's fingers.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay. ”
Leo turned around and saw the mother and daughter hugging each other tightly, their bodies trembling, the cold color on their faces suddenly eased, and he said softly.
"Brother, behind you!"
The little girl, who was being protected by her mother, suddenly opened her eyes wide and shouted anxiously at Leo.
Leo's heart sank, and the instincts he had honed through constant fighting made him turn his head for a moment, and suddenly a fierce wind grazed his ears and fell, smashing the floor with a thud, smashing the floor made of mud and rock, and the rubble flew and was about to shoot at the nearby refugees.
"No, everyone, raise the shield quickly!" the soldiers defending the city quickly reacted, shouted, and quickly ran to the refugees, taking down the square iron shield behind them and lifting it.
But the mother and daughter were too far away from the soldiers.
Yan Shenchou's eyes flashed, and his hand was touching the Fengyu Sword, and then he heard a sword roar, and a dazzling sword qi roared out, wantonly vertical and horizontal, and in the blink of an eye, all the gravel flying in all directions was cut into flying ashes.
"What a strong professional. ”
Seeing this scene, the soldiers who raised their shields were all shocked.
The smoke and dust quickly dissipated, and at this time, everyone saw clearly the figure that was confronting Leo at this time, and their faces suddenly became very ugly.
"Go and report to the city that there are undead spirits. The soldier with the scar on his chin immediately spoke to the others, in an anxious tone.
Standing in front of Leo now was a two-meter-tall skeleton soldier, holding a huge bone axe, exuding a cold aura, and the purple light on his body was extremely rich, looking completely different from ordinary strengthened skeletons.
And in the jungle behind him, there were more undead who walked out with stiff steps, including skeletal archers with bows and arrows.
This is undoubtedly the vanguard of an army of the undead.
"Everyone go to the city, and leave it to us here. The Scar Soldier quickly said to the panicked refugees that if the refugees stayed here in a daze at this time, the chances of dying at the hands of the undead were very high.
After the refugees poured into the city, the Scar soldiers rushed to Leo's side with the remaining defenders armed with swords and shields.
"Reinforcements are coming soon, we just need to hold out for a while. The Scar Soldier looked solemn and said to Leo, and when he got closer, he felt the powerful coercion of this skeleton warrior, at least equivalent to the strength of the Golden Rank.
Leo looked at him in surprise, a smile on his face.
"No need. ”
He said lightly, and then rushed forward with the stunned expressions of the soldiers.
"Is he crazy?!" the soldier said subconsciously, not to mention that this strange skeleton warrior is at least equivalent to a gold-level professional, and there are no less than two hundred undead who have appeared now.
With so many undead, it would take at least more than 500 soldiers to defeat them, where did this young man get the courage to rush forward?
"Whether he's crazy or not, we can't let him die. The scar soldier let out a low shout, raising a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and a burst of blue fighting qi erupted from his body, with an intensity of about level twenty-five.
But before he could catch up, the soldiers saw a scene that almost made their eyes fall to the ground.
They saw Leo's figure appear in front of the skeleton warrior holding the bone axe in an instant, and with a light swing of the sword, a silver-white sword light directly slashed out, splitting the skeleton warrior in half from top to bottom.
"I'm not dreaming...... I'm talking to myself," one soldier muttered to himself.
However, they were not only surprised, after splitting the skeleton warrior with a sword, Leo looked at the group of undead who came out of the woods, the black hair was windless, and another sword slashed, and a huge crescent-shaped sword qi slowly emerged from the void.
Everyone only saw a burst of white light in front of them, and the blinding white light made them all close their eyes, and when the white light disappeared, there were still any undead in front of them, even the forest by the road disappeared half out of thin air.
The ...... soldiers watched in silence as Leo put away the Sword of Permafrost and walked past them, their eyes frightened, their emotions fluctuating like waves.
Leo walked to the mother and daughter, they did not enter the city when the soldiers evacuated the refugees, but had been watching Leo in the same place, when she saw Leo coming, the woman's eyes showed gratitude, and as soon as she wanted to kneel down for Leo, she was helped up by a gentle force, and at the same time heard such words.
"Here, let her drink the water in it, which can temporarily suppress the outbreak of the plague. ”
She raised her head in disbelief, and subconsciously took the holy water handed by Leo, and before she could say anything, Leo had already walked away.
"Thank you, brother. The little girl shouted crisply to Leo's back.
"How is it, are you still going in?" After handing over the holy water to the mother and daughter, Leo returned to Yan Shenchou's side, glanced at the city gate, and asked.
Yan Shen was a little hesitant and looked at Little Hem in his arms.
"I want to go in and find Mom and Dad. Little Hem also seemed to realize that the decision was up to him, and he bit his finger and thought for a while before saying.
His words made the hearts of the two of them sink, and they looked at each other, did not speak, and nodded.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from inside the city gate, getting closer and closer.
Soon, a group of knights wearing golden armor and riding pure white war horses appeared in front of everyone, and each knight's body exuded a pure light aura, which made people's hearts warm.
"Where are the undead?"
After this group of light knights appeared, they came to the side of the soldiers defending the city past Leo and Yan Shenchou, and after scanning the eyes under the helmet, they asked in surprise.
"Report to the knight, all the undead who appeared have been ...... by that young man The prostage was wiped out. The Scar Soldier stood still, and then said, originally subconsciously wanted to talk about the young man, but thinking that Leo was so powerful, if he called it like this, it might cause dissatisfaction, so he immediately changed his words.
"Oh?" Hearing the soldier's words, the Knight of Light who took the lead was a little surprised, he looked at the marks left by Leo's sword, and stretched out his palm.
"There's a very strong smell of death indeed...... It's hard to imagine that someone can destroy so many undead on his own, he must have spent a lot of effort. The Knight of Light quickly clenched his palm, revealing a look of solemnity, and turned his gaze to Leo in admiration.
Hearing his words, the faces of the soldiers defending the city changed slightly, and they were a little distracted.
"What? didn't he destroy it alone?" Seeing the change in their faces, the Knight of Light frowned, and glanced at Yan Shen Chou beside Leo.
Could it be that two people did it together?
"No, I mean to say that he didn't spend much effort, he only used two swords in total, the first sword killed a skeleton soldier at least the gold rank, and the second sword directly cut down all the remaining undead, even with this forest......"
The Scar Soldier said hurriedly.
His words made the light knight's pupils shrink sharply, and the aura on his body became unstable in an instant, and the other light knights were also shocked.
After feeling the remnants of the aura of death here, they already understood that this was an undead army that even they would be excited about, and they were already extremely surprised to hear that this army had been defeated.
But now the soldiers are still telling them that the one who defeated the undead only used two swords?
Could it be that this handsome boy who looks no more than eighteen or nineteen years old is already a transcendent or even stronger professional?
Thinking of this, everyone's faces were extremely complicated.
Others can reach the transcendent level at the age of eighteen or nineteen, while they are still worried about breaking through silver when they are eighteen or nineteen.
With such a terrifying talent, the hidden dragon list and the real dragon list are nothing more than that, right?
By the way, this boy may be the person on the real dragon list!
The Light Knight's eyes lit up slightly, and without hesitation, he rode behind Leo.
At this time, Leo and Yan Shenchou were about to enter the city, but suddenly heard a voice from behind them.
"Hey, don't go!"
"My name is Saul Loren, and I am the acting head of the Knights of Light in this place. ”
