Chapter 5: The Long Night (I)

In fact, in addition to the first attack, there were several teams of undead creatures in the past two days, but each time it was almost the same as the first time, only some small shrimp of the first and second grades, and the number was not much, the most was only nearly a hundred, and it could be sent away by the militia on duty on the city wall alone.

Therefore, Minoan and the others have always only had a conceptual understanding of the existence of the army of the undead, although they can probably imagine how vast and terrifying so many undead should be, but knowing that they are facing such horrors now, they realize how far their imagination is worse than the reality.

There are more than a thousand, boundless, not to mention tens of thousands, they only feel as if they are standing in an ocean of white bones, and the only reef under their feet is the slightest carelessness, and they will drown in this ocean, and there is not even half of the dregs left.

"What are you two little girls doing here? this is not your place to play, hurry down and find a place to hide, or these damn bone swords won't have long eyes!"

Just when the two of them were shocked by the sheer size of the army of the undead, a mercenary with a long knife in his hand spotted them, just like the militia two days ago, and misjudged the gender and strength of the two of them.

"This is Minow, a first-class warrior, greetings to you, sir. ”

"This is Level 0 Mage Apprentice Yeren, hello sir. ”

"Mr. Mercenary, I think we're strong enough to stand on this wall and do our part to defend the town of Tassie, and besides, we're boys. ”

This shameful misunderstanding has happened several times in the past few days, so Mino's reaction is not as strong as when they first met, and the two of them respond to the mercenary's question without changing their faces.

"What?man, are you kidding me?" the mercenary couldn't believe his ears when Mino's two answers, "Wait, such a young first-class warrior, I seem to have heard it somewhere, the name Mino's is so familiar, it seems to be that genius swordsman with a big name, right?" ”

"It turned out to be a famous genius swordsman, but boy, let me tell you, don't think that if you have good talent, you will be much better than others, here, you are just an ordinary first-class warrior, a genius who has not grown up is not a genius, and dying on the ground is still a corpse, don't think that you will be amazing, understand!?"

The mercenary's words were fierce, and he crackled and said a lot of things with guns and sticks, and the night man standing on the side was angry for Mino, and Mino was naturally even more angry, and was about to say something to refute, when he saw the mercenary raise his right hand and wave it at the two of them, turn around and leave.

"Lao Tzu, I am the deputy head of the Rocket Mercenary Regiment, the third-level soldier Tucker, and now I am in charge of the defense of this section, you two little cubs will follow me later, listen to Lao Tzu's instructions and do things, lest you die and don't know how to die, it's not easy for us to be a genius in Taxi Town, do you know how to live for Lao Tzu?"

"Good luck, you two little guys, you can follow Knifemouth Tucker, if he doesn't die, you two can't die, genius is genius, treatment is different, Tucker guy is still hard-mouthed. The militia on the side laughed and said to the two Mino.

In fact, without being reminded by the militia, the two of Mino can also hear it, although Tucker's words are fierce and rough, but it contains the meaning of slow care for the juniors but it can't be concealed, of course, there will be no trace of anger in the hearts of the two, in the face of Tucker's questioning, the two looked at each other and smiled, and replied in unison: "Yes! sir." ”

"What are you doing so loudly, you want to summon the undead, whisper to Lao Tzu to know no!"

"Got it, sir!" replied Mino and Yaren in a loud voice again.

"Hey, the two little cubs are still fighting with your Grandpa Tucker, right, believe it or not, grandpa, I'll kick you to death!"

"We believe it, sir!" replied Minoan and Yaren in a loud voice again.

........................

The laughing and playful moments are always short-lived, and in a short time, the spirits of the termites, who look like termites from the walls, arrive at the base of the walls of the town of Tassie, and a battle of life and death inevitably begins.

"Hurry! Hurry up and bring the stones, don't be impulsive, wait until you see the third-level undead to strike, all of them are on standby, take all the swords in my hands, and if you see the undead climbing up, stab them down." ”

Because it is a low-level undead without wisdom under the command of a necromancer, the siege equipment such as bone ladders and undead trebuchets used by the undead army did not appear outside Tarssi Town, and because the skeleton archers are undead creatures up to the third level, there are not many of these more than 10,000 undead creatures.

It's a pity that the other party is an undead after all, although because it is a low-level undead creature with no intelligence, so it can't build an elaborate siege machine, but it is precisely because it is a low-level undead creature without intelligence, so it can be used to build a 'human ladder' This is an impossible method for humans to attack the city.

The skeleton that first arrived under the city wall was stuck under the city wall because it could not cross the city wall, and the skeleton behind stepped on the ribs of the former and climbed to the head of the former, so it accumulated layer by layer, although the skeleton in front could not climb the city wall, but the skeleton behind could easily climb the city wall with the help of the 'human' ladder built by the former.

If it weren't for the fact that the undead creatures only had bones, how could the skeletons at the bottom bear the weight of more than a dozen 'people' above, and if it weren't for the lack of wisdom, how could the 'human' ladder below always be able to climb the city wall, not tired, not giving up, not afraid of pain, this is the horror of the undead, it is the advantages that these living people cannot have, so that these naturally inferior army of the undead has become a nightmare for the living.

When all the 'human' ladders were successfully formed, the walls of Tassi Town seemed to be equipped with a layer of wriggling bone armor, turning into a city of the undead.

"Now, push the stones down!"

When the white skulls burning with soul fire appeared in sight, the commanders of each section invariably gave the order to throw stones, and as the boulders fell, the newly built undead bone wall was smashed to pieces in an instant.

There were only a few places where the stone pushers were shot by the skeleton archers, and the stones were not immediately pushed down, allowing some of the skeleton warriors to climb up, but these lucky ones were immediately cut to pieces by the prepared warriors.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up and bring up the stones, the undead will come up soon!"

Although it was easy to repel this wave of attack of the undead army, but a lot of bones were piled up under the city wall, and the next wave of 'human' ladders was bound to be built more quickly, so everyone was hurriedly carrying stones to deal with the next wave of attacks.

It was another round of the same offensive, the undead took the ladder, and after the completion everyone smashed stones, the difference was that with the previous lesson, everyone was more vigilant, so although there were still people injured, but no one died because of the attack of the skeleton archers, but several skeleton archers were killed by the archers and magicians of Tassie Town because the shooting revealed their position.

After one more round of repetition, all the stones that had been prepared for two days were used up, and then everyone changed to logs and carried them through two more rounds.

When the logs were also used up, in the face of the pain of the town elder, everyone poured barrels of alchemy oil down, and then threw down the torches one by one, burning all the undead in this wave to death, and incidentally burning the bones that had accumulated under the city wall in the previous waves into flying ashes.

Looking at the flames gradually extinguishing under the city wall, everyone on the city wall clenched the swords in their hands, the real difficulty is coming soon, after all, Taxi Town is just a small town, although the city wall to defend against the invasion of demonic beasts has been built because of the proximity to the wilderness, but expensive strategic materials such as alchemy and fire oil cannot be prepared as well as a real city, so the wave just now is all in the town.

Whether it is life or death depends on whether the short-handed soldiers who wait for a while can withstand it, and if they can bear it, then there is still hope for everything, but if they can't bear it, the whole town will have to die here today!

The life and death of the family are all tied to their shoulders, everyone's mood is extremely nervous, and the entire city wall is full of the sound of everyone's rapid breathing.

It's a pity that the undead creatures don't care if you're nervous or not, and after the flames are extinguished, after a while, the undead 'human' ladder is built again, and with the appearance of white skulls, the real test will come.
