Chapter 318, Transcendent Magic, Undead Disaster
As night fell, none of the soldiers in the Black Iron City dared to let their guard down.
Because their opponent this time is the undead, and the night is the world that belongs to the undead.
As the minutes ticked by, everyone was on guard.
Not only soldiers and militiamen, but also many citizens stayed up all night near the city walls, ready to help carry supplies.
If it had been an enemy from outside, they might not have resisted so much.
After all, the occupation of this place is just a change of management for them, and it will not affect them anything.
But the problem is that this time the enemy is the undead! A horrible thing that will slaughter all living people!
If the city can't be defended! If the legion is defeated! Then their results will also speak for themselves.
Therefore, at this time, the Black Iron City was particularly united, with excellent equipment, and the reserve armor and weapons distributed by the city lord, the number of militias increased to more than 100,000 for a while.
This should be foolproof, but it's a pity that the people here have never fought the undead on a large scale, and they don't know how to prevent the invasion of the undead.
In their minds, the undead are the damned wizards, the walking dead who are resurrected from their corpses, and they only know how to overwhelm them by numbers.
As long as they find a high place to guard, and there are enough people, they are basically safe.
It's the first time they've encountered such intelligent undead creatures now.
As the night deepened, the sky darkened, and thick dark clouds hovered above the fortress of the mountain, as if reflecting some kind of ominousness.
Gradually, light rain began to fall in the sky, and gradually there was a tendency to increase.
The soldiers standing on the city wall with weapons in hand did not have the leisure to hide from the rain or get raincoats at this moment, because there was no need for them.
After all, if this battle is lost, they will never see rain again in their lives.
A soldier stood by the wall, looking at the motionless sea of the dead in the distance, and raised his hand to subconsciously wipe the water stains left along his helmet.
After just wiping it twice, he was suddenly stunned.
Looking at the black rain in his hand, the soldier's expression was very dazed.
Turning his head to look at his companion next to him, he asked with a confused expression.
"Is the pollution here so bad now? Even the rain is black? ”
The companion next to him didn't answer, just lowered his head and trembled slightly.
He had been injured in the previous defensive battle, and the injury was not light.
It was only because they were frightened by the number of undead on the opposite side and the defense was in dire need of manpower that the wounded were also sent to the battlefield.
Seeing his companion's constant trembling, the soldier furrowed his eyebrows.
"Are you alright? Is it cold? Or has the injury recurred? Why don't you go down and take a break? ”
Seeing that his companion still didn't answer, he reached out and patted it.
The moment he touched the other party, his companion, who had kept his head down, suddenly raised his head and roared and lunged at him.
At this time, the soldier's eyes had become blood-red, and a large number of black lines appeared on his body, and his skin was pale and unlikely.
Living corpses!
With a click, the mutated companion instantly threw the soldier to the ground, biting him on his raised arm with a ferocious bite.
Fortunately, all the soldiers of the Black Iron City were wearing armor, and the sturdy gauntlets saved the soldier's life.
The companion who was frantically biting on the armor was directly shattered by most of his teeth, but even so, he still had no intention of stopping the attack, but instead the hands that were waving wildly, leaving several blood marks on the soldier's face.
The screaming soldier finally reacted from the shock, drew his short sword at his waist and swept out.
As the cold light fell, the body of his companion who was lying on him and biting wildly became weak, his head rolled to the ground, and the headless corpse fell to the side.
The soldier who instantly dealt with his companions was frightened at this moment, and after fleeing from the place with a roll, he looked up and suddenly found that there was chaos on the city wall at this time.
Those comrades who had been injured before, as long as their strength did not exceed the third order, had already begun to turn into living corpses at this moment, and they lost their minds and frantically attacked the living creatures around them.
There are many people who are caught off guard and are either bitten to death on the spot or directly scratched.
And those soldiers with wounds on their bodies began to tremble violently as the black rain melted into their bodies.
After a few moments, the wounded soldiers gradually got up, and their eyes turned red.
Looking at his colleague who instantly turned into a living corpse and threw the centurion to the ground, the soldier leaned his back against the wall in horror.
Wiping the blood from his face and looking at his red hands, the soldier was suddenly stunned.
Wait a minute! Wounds!
"Ahh
Raising his hand tremblingly, he stroked the unconscious face, looking at the arm that gradually appeared black lines, and the skin that gradually turned white.
The soldier finally reacted, got up and screamed, and rushed into the distance.
But his steps staggered more and more, until he completely lost his balance, and his body fell over the city wall and into the city.
With a thud, the corpses of the soldiers landed on the ground of the inner city, startling the militia and civilians who were carrying supplies.
Looking at the soldier lying motionless on the ground, and the blood that gradually flowed from below him.
The civilians and militiamen looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.
"Dead, dead?"
The militiamen, who faintly heard the screams and wails above the walls, could not see what was happening above them because the walls were so high.
Not understanding why someone would jump down, they instinctively wanted to go over and check the body.
At the moment when they approached, the body was already severely distorted, and the corpse of the soldier, who should have completely lost his life, suddenly twisted his head towards them.
His eyes are red! Saliva in the mouth!
The crippled corpse of the living corpse soldier was a mouthful, and it hit one of the hapless eggs in the thigh.
Although the militia also has armor, it is absolutely not up to the level of soldiers who are fully armed, let alone the combat quality of professional soldiers.
He was suddenly attacked by the other party, and subconsciously screamed miserably, and fled into the distance.
He ran, and his companions followed, leaving the living corpse soldier with his limbs squirming on the ground and letting out a horrific roar.
Looking at the strange companions lying on the ground who kept crawling towards this side, the militiamen gathered together looked terrified.
What they didn't notice was that the unlucky guy who had been bitten just now began to twitch slightly as the black rain flowed into the wound.
Disseminate! Here we go!
Outside of Black Iron City, dozens of corpse witches who were at least no weaker than the seventh order were neatly arranged, all holding a skeletal scepter in their hands.
Below them, a giant circle of black mist was in operation.
Rich black qi floated out of the formation, flew directly into the dark clouds, and after a while, it turned into rain and fell, constantly watering the entire Black Iron City.
And this trick also has an extremely loud name, a big name that no one in this world has ever heard of, but is notorious in other worlds.
Transcendent Magic! Scourge of the Dead!
Seeing that the magic had been condensed, the leader of the corpse witch who took the lead put away his staff and turned his head to look at the leaders who were already ready to go.
"Ladies and gentlemen! This is our first appearance in front of His Majesty the Bone King! If you want to get ahead! Let's try to make a flashy opening! ”
Raising his staff and pointing at the Black Iron City in the distance, a grim smile appeared on the corpse witch's face.
"Scourge! It's time to get started! ”
