After a hundred years of repair, the Donglin Fort has developed from a wooden fence to a strong city built of stubborn stones, which is unbreakable.

It was in the afternoon, I don't know when it started, and a fog suddenly appeared on the horizon that blocked the view, and the gray cold fog was like a cloud falling to the ground, slowly pressing towards the fortress in all directions, giving people a feeling of restlessness.

In order to increase visibility, hundreds of torches were burned on the edge of the city 100 meters, and the walls of the 30,000 castle defenders' fortress were brightly lit, and the defenders were wearing armor and holding guns.

In the hall of the lord of the main castle, Lord Ingnat Woods threw the ordinary secret letter in his hand in the furnace, and the man watched the flames burn the letter paper, as if he saw his future.

At the bottom of the stairs, in order to avoid being attacked by high-level spiritual magic and thus exposing the important information of the Emerald Collar, the Emerald Collar agent in charge of liaising with the Night Blade has committed suicide by poisoning himself after the letter is delivered.

The envoy's actions were a complete rejection of all other ideas of Signati Woods, and he knew that he had no way out.

"Yinos, I said that when the Jade Leader came down to the south and invited me to drink, you would simply go in style."

Staring at the messenger who could no longer speak, the man who was nearly fifty years old had a gloomy gaze, no longer as stupid as before.

With a light sigh, Ingnat Woods turned around and pushed open the closed wooden window, a cold wind blew on his face, and the man shivered.

"Well, it's better to exchange my life for the stability of a family than to be terrified for the rest of my life...... Someone!"

A personal guard pushed the door in.

"Your Excellency?"

The man's eyes seemed to be open and closed, and his voice was quiet.

"This time the enemy is menacing, the castle will surely fall, if you flee now, there is still time, and you do not have to die for me."

The personal guard knelt down on one knee and made a loud noise.

"The lord loves the people like a son, sympathizes with the soldiers, and treats us with special favor, and we see the kindness of the lord on weekdays, if you can't protect the lord until the last moment, wouldn't you be a wolf-hearted person? We will follow you until the last moment!"

The guard's words were heard by the people outside, and they didn't care about humility, and they stepped forward one after another to express their vows to follow their hearts.

Ingnati Woods swept every face, and his gentle temperament was fleeting, and the thought that he was about to embark on the last battlefield of his life turned decisive in the blink of an eye.

"In that case, then, wait for me to put on my armor, follow me, and kill the enemy."

Five kilometers west of Winterfell, the fog is particularly thick.

Timothys' henchman, Hajay, was leading 5,000 knights and 10,000 infantry to slowly march eastward, and in the middle of the army, the man frowned, and when he looked at the black-robed mage, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Ha is a noble family born and down, with a strong and warlike personality, advocating glory,

Hajay followed the wild warriors to practice guns since he was a child, and at the age of thirteen, he came down the mountain to prominence in the battle to expel the bandits, and then was discovered by Timothys's men, and after several major battles, he stood out and was trained by Timoses to become a famous elite lancer.

Now, at the age of thirty-five, Hajah has become the deputy head of the Knights of Nochland, with a tall head and a horse wearing armor and silver guns, which can be described as majestic, and no one dares to underestimate him.

The position of head of the regiment was held by Harper, the "brother-in-law" of Archduke Timothy.

Speaking of the knight captain Harper, it was through his favored sister that he obtained the position of head of the knight from the elderly Timothy,

Although Harper doesn't know how to fight in battle, he knows how to meet the horse, and he has been pressing on Hajah's head with his identity over the years.

But fortunately, Harper also knew that Timoses wanted a knight who could fight well, not an incompetent person who could slap horses, in addition to using his identity to harm innocent girls, he did not interfere too much in the training and combat affairs of the knights, so that the Norkrand Knights were not affected by the corruption of discipline

sound

The Knights of Nochland are one of the few elite soldiers in Timoses who can handle them.

Sweeping over the solemn and solemn knight in front of him, Hajay's gaze unconsciously rested on the necromancer beside him, he thought he was well-informed, but he had never seen such a strange and terrifying warlock.

As if noticing Hajay's gaze, Lobito, who had been holding the Beacon of the Underworld [Nether Heart], suddenly turned his head, and the old man who was as thin as a skeleton smiled kindly at Hajay.

"General Hajjah, it seems, has something to say? We still have to prepare some work to take Winter Castle, and now we have time, so I might as well talk about it if I have something to say."

Looking at his smirk-like face, Hajay's gaze met with that of the old mage, and the deputy head of the knights shuddered.

He always felt that this strange old mage sent by Lord Acheson had a plan for him, but he never knew the true purpose of the other party.

Coupled with the fact that Archduke Timothys asked him to cooperate with the other party, it seemed that he was the commander of this siege battle, but in fact he was the terrible old man beside him.

The 5,000 Norcland Knights plus 10,000 infantry are just a blow to the old man in front of him, and if he really relies on these 15,000 soldiers to take the Winter Castle, I am afraid that he will have to kowtow and return home.

"Lobito...... Your Excellency, if I'm not mistaken, this mist that doesn't affect us was released by Your Excellency, right? After all, in earlier times, there wasn't so much fog following us......

To be honest, I've seen a lot of black mages from the north, but I've never met a powerhouse like Your Excellency."

Knowing that Hajah was intimidated by his soul energy, Lobito straightened his head and set his eyes on the fortress in the distance.

Hajay is a talent that Lord Maude Caesar personally regards, and how to give full play to Hajay's maximum value must be carefully considered, and there can be no mistakes at all.

"Heh, heh, General Hajah, I praise you, but this fog is indeed caused by me,

I think General Hajah is also curious, we are only 15,000 men, how can we take the castle where 30,000 elite soldiers are stationed, right?"

It seemed to be a little out of breath, and the old man's words were interrupted from time to time, coupled with the old man's hoarse and hissing voice, which made Hajah very uncomfortable to hear, like a punishment.

However, judging from the attitude of the old man, it seems to be quite friendly.

At a rare opportunity, Hajay took the opportunity to pick up the topic.

"I didn't expect His Excellency Robito to see my doubts and I was deeply ashamed......

Hearing this, Lobito smiled quietly, but on the outside, he looked like a skeleton demon with its mouth open and scary.

"So, in General Hajjah's opinion, if you don't have me with you on this trip, can you win?"

I don't know what Lobito means by taking the school exam, and Hajay, who is vaguely uneasy in his heart, doesn't dare to hide it, so he can only tell it all.

"In my opinion, in the battle formation, there are only two ways to win, one is to know oneself and know the other, and the other is to attack more and less, and other details are small ways.

Now the high wall of the fort city in winter is strong, the grain and grass are abundant, one side is surrounded by mountains, three sides are steep, and the arrow tower tower is innumerable,

There were 30,000 soldiers stationed at leisure, and our army had traveled a long way, plus the men and horses were scarce, and it was already understaffed, and it was probably not a good strategy to take the castle by force, and the cavalry dismounted and stormed the city only to end up in defeat and death.

Without the help of His Excellency Lobito, the 15,000 soldiers under my command would never have been able to directly capture the castle by ordinary means.

In the case of sufficient logistical supplies, or put a water and food cut off in the second circle, or poison and arson, build siege equipment and throw it at a distance, or call the battle day and night, tired the enemy to persuade him to surrender, and wait until the castle defenders show their flaws, and then work together to expand the results, so that it is possible to take the castle."

Trying to discern something from the skull-headed old mage's face, Hajay found himself unable to claim any useful information from the subtle changes in his skinny bones.

Fortunately, although the skull-headed old man could not read his face, the words in his mouth expressed satisfaction.

"I've heard of General Hajah for a long time, and he can do anything in siege and field warfare, so look at it now

Come to General Hajjah, worthy of his name."

Secretly relieved, Hajay smiled.

"Your Excellency Lobito has praised it falsely."

"General Hajah just now, what he said is a conventional method of warfare, with conventional tactics, naturally you can't easily capture the castle, ahem......

As he was talking, the skeleton old man began to cough violently, covering his eyes with his right hand, I don't know if it was an illusion, there was a faint moment of visual image, Hajay saw the old man's right eyeball.

After the old man put down his hand again, the cloudy eyeballs stayed in the sockets again, but he couldn't see Tong Ren, but the side of the blood vessels was exposed, as if he had forcibly stuffed the eyeballs into his eyelids.

Not daring to show any different colors, Hajay lowered his eyes, and in the afterglow, the old man rubbed his eyes with his hands again, and when Hajay raised his eyes again, everything returned to its original state.

Even the old man's words were much smoother, but the old man didn't seem to continue with the conventional tactics just now.

"Just as mortals cannot disobey the power of God, in this world, the way of life and death kills the fate of all, as long as you are still breathing, you will be a little more afraid to act,

Let you be peerless, a sharp arrow will shoot through your head and you will return to the underworld and enter the River Styx, this is the truth that I have studied all my life, General Hajjah, is there any truth in what I said?"

Hajay nodded, even if he was warlike and thirsty, he often cared about life and death, otherwise he would have been able to unleash his true nature to the fullest, and maybe his martial arts would have been more superb at that time.

"Yes, I have seen many warriors who are stronger than me in martial arts, who eventually died under the indiscriminate guns of soldiers because they went deep into the enemy's formation, and I often feel sorry for this, and I have gradually come to understand that for the general, you can charge into battle, but you must not go deep alone."

Gently stroking the dark green [Heart of the Underworld] in his hand, which resembled a prismatic crystal, Lobito's face had a little more smile.

"A soldier who is imprisoned by life and death will inevitably be afraid as long as his mind is not strong, but if he takes off this shackle of life and death, and even after death is better than before death, General Hajjah, what kind of combat power can people play?

In this case, if 15,000 men storm the castle, will they be able to win?"

Tong Kong shrank, and Hajay couldn't imagine what the old skeletal mage's words meant, and he didn't dare to speculate and assert it.

Is it immortal and immortal? Or will you become a resurrected monster like a zombie, skeleton, or undead when you die?

If you die and come back to life, can you still be considered yourself?

"I don't quite understand what Lord Robito means, people are destined to return to dust, how can they really not die?"

"As General Hajah said, if you use conventional warfare, 15,000 soldiers will definitely lose the siege, but I can help the general break the boundary between life and death, and let the soldiers under the general's command enter a state of immortality, this is the extraordinary power that can break common sense, and it is also the meaning of me to come alone to support the general to capture the castle."

The shocked Hajay didn't know what to say for a while, he had also been to Qianjue's church to learn about the legendary Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper was born specifically to hunt these "immortal and immortal" monsters, in the doctrine of the Grim Reaper, the hunted fallen soul has no chance to be reincarnated at all, not only that, but also tortured.

Originally, he thought that Lobito was going to help with the siege by summoning undead creatures, but now it seems that Lobito meant to turn him and his legion into monsters like that......

His right hand unconsciously clenched the lance, and Hajay took several deep breaths to calm his fluctuating emotions, and his face was a little cloudy.

Naturally, he noticed Hajay's changed attitude, but Lobito smiled unchangeably.

"General Hajah, don't be afraid of immortality, in my opinion, immortality is a gift, I wonder if you have heard the rumors of Valhalla?"

"Valhalla? I haven't heard anything from Valhalla."

Having only heard some unbelievable rumors, Hajah shook his head and denied it.

Without exposing Hajay's lies, Lobito continued.

"Only those samurai who are not afraid of life and death, and who desire to give all their courage in battle and blood, can go to the supreme Valhalla after death, where the samurai will be reborn and fight more brutal and great battles with greater strength, bathing themselves in blood.

General Hajah, the power of immortality that I have bestowed comes from Valhalla, so you don't need to worry, the brave warriors will never become undead or zombies, they will be reborn from death and continue to live in another form."

"Unfortunately, Valhalla doesn't exist in this world, Lord Lobito, I can't trust you until you can prove that what you say is true."

"It's actually very simple for me to prove it."

Lobito led the already controlled horse to approach Hajay and handed the palm-sized Heart of the Underworld in his hand.

The fog thinned out in a moment, but it didn't have a serious impact for a short time.

"Put your hands on it, close your eyes, General Hajjah, and you'll know if what I'm telling is a lie."

"Everyone, stop moving! Stand by now!"

It wasn't until the legion stopped that Hajay took the eerie dark green prismatic crystal.

At the moment when the sight entered the darkness, an immortal giant city appeared in front of him, and in the center of the giant city there was a large hall of bones, and countless souls sang the name of the slayer,

On the throne of the skull of the Great Hall, a cold, mad, and majestic deity crossed space and time, creating a special connection with him.

"Ten thousand skulls for me, Hajah, you are qualified to step into this place."

Without any reason to resist, let alone the courage to resist, from the moment the great will came, Hajah knew that the life he longed for had finally come to him.

"As you wish, my lord."
