Chapter 124: The Revolt of the "Dead" (4)

"Burn them, and don't let these monsters climb the walls and send them all back to hell!"

At the top of the tower of the harbor of Bright Star City, several centurions carrying swallowtail flags gave orders with pale faces, and the crossbowmen who were hiding behind the battlements and walls immediately raised their longbows and heavy crossbows in their hands, and in a roar, rows of fire arrows fell from the sky, and all the carrion monsters who were roaring and wanted to climb the city wall screamed desolately, and fell from the wall with fire!

And just outside the fortress, with the burning flames and billowing smoke, hundreds of rotting corpses still kept surging like a raging flood, although the soldiers were trembling with fright, but still resisted hard, and the light infantry standing on the city wall grabbed the lit throwing spears with cold sweaty hands, and stabbed the rotting corpses who climbed the city wall, knocking them down.

Standing at the top of the tower, Lusen also only forced himself to look down calmly - the "frenzy" of carrion monsters that was raging like a tide had almost completely submerged the entire port fortress and tower, and the bloody corpses had even been piled up a meter high under the city wall!

Gasping, Lusen couldn't stop his trembling at all, and could only try his best to hide from being noticed by the soldiers around him - even if it was a powerful army besieging him, as the heir of the Minest family, Lusen had the ability to maintain the demeanor of a nobleman, but it was a group of bloodthirsty and brutal monsters!

As originally planned, the offensive on the entire port of the Western Front went very well. Although the enemy placed a considerable number of defenders, they were bombarded by the expeditionary fleet. The untrained militia simply could not withstand it. Soon the whole line collapsed. Lusen, who personally led the charge, took the port fortress and the lighthouse without much effort, and fulfilled his original promise - to plant the flaming goshawk banner on the tallest spire in the entire Bright Star City!

Just as Lusen, who had captured the fortress and tower, was about to completely clear the surrounding streets and then continue to march on the Lord's Palace, hordes of carrion monsters suddenly attacked the port from all directions.

The two hundred-man hoplites, who had just left the protection of the city walls, were right in front of everyone's eyes. In less than a quarter of an hour, he was torn to shreds with almost no power to fight back, leaving only a stump and severed arm!

Completely frightened, the soldiers immediately withdrew to the fortress with Luson and organized a defense - fortunately, although there were only a thousand people, all kinds of consumables were quite sufficient, and Lusen, who did not hesitate to use arrows and oil, immediately discovered the weakness of the carrion's fear of flames, and resisted with the walls and towers of the port fortress.

However, there were so many monsters! so many that all of them were completely blocked from escaping, and fell into a terrible "carrion frenzy", and the sailors and mercenaries who fought on their backs were already terrified. But they still chose to fight, and facing the threat of death still made their will to fight unprecedentedly high.

"Die. You!"

The leader of the Silver Blood Mercenary Regiment, Drake, scolded and raised the battle axe in his hand, and opened a scoop of a carrion monster that had climbed the city wall, and the splashing brain mixed with blood almost stained half of his face, but he still wiped it fiercely in disdain. When he slashed at the other head again, the carrion dodged it!

For a moment, Drake's head went blank, and by the time a sharp pain dragged him back to reality, the carrion had bitten down on his shoulder, and Sensen's fangs had broken his shoulder blades.

"Ahhhhh!!!!h

"Death for me, death for me, death for me, you thing that deserves to go to hell!" Drake, who was almost going crazy, threw away the scimitar, picked up the battle axe again and slashed at the body of the carrion, until the skin opened and the flesh opened, and the brain burst The carrion monster still didn't let go, directly biting his shoulder, tightly "hugging" Drake's body, biting and biting heavily, swallowing his flesh!

Although, this carrion monster has no place to hold these "delicious" things.

The inhumanoid Drake collapsed in a pool of blood, and before he even screamed, he completely lost his breath - his neck was bitten off by the carrion, and the carrion with its head split was also deactivated, and after crawling for a short distance, it was charred by the fire arrows.

But the breached position opened a gap for the rotting corpses behind - countless monsters had already swarmed into the walls of the port fortress, and the overwhelming roar completely destroyed everyone's will. With no way to escape, the Turin soldiers took up arms in a panic and resisted, but the result was only to be slaughtered one after another.

The soldiers huddled in the tower could only watch this scene, but they didn't even have the courage to rush out to support, and could only shoot a few arrows sparsely - but they also knew very well that the tragic fate that the robes on the other side were facing was their own fate in the near future!

The gray-eyed Lusen had an incomparably miserable smile on his face - could this be the consequence of his own recklessness? Obviously he didn't know how to fight, but he had to fight for some dignity and honor, as well as face and other things, in exchange for being torn to pieces by a group of man-eating monsters in such a penniless place!

No, even if you die, you can't die like this--Lusen, who was already trembling and trembling like chaff, set his eyes on the battleship not far away, and gritted his trembling teeth. Even if you want to die, you must drag this group of monsters to hell together!

Still, there was a glimmer of hope in Luthen's heart...... Perhaps Lord Leonardo would notice the movement and send an army to the rescue—even though it was clear that the odds were remote, but as a last resort, Lusen was certainly not willing to leave this world so soon.

"God Bless Turin - !!!"

Just as he was in a dilemma, a familiar cry suddenly came from a distance, and Lusen, who was still trembling, and the defenders at the top of the tower almost involuntarily looked in the direction of the sound.

"It's Lord Leonardo's reinforcements, the brethren have come to our rescue!" Lusen, who was excited, blurted out directly, looking in the direction where the shout came from, but when he saw it, he was completely "confused".

Dozens of Turin knights came to the rescue from all directions, carrying flaming eagle flags or black tree flags on a white background, but many more were hoplites from Bright Star City - they didn't even change their flags, chanting Turinese slogans and pounced on the carrion monsters surrounding the harbor.

"What is going on?" Luson was stunned, not only him, but also the other Turin soldiers on the city wall who were still fighting desperately were overwhelmed by the scene in front of them - could it be that Sir Leonardo really "influenced" these Dominicans, making them lay down their arms and believe that the Turin Expeditionary Force was here to "save" them?

All the soldiers on the city wall turned their eyes to Lusen, who was also amazed, and waited for the lieutenant to give the order.

And Lusen, who was standing under the battle flag, took a long and deep breath of composure: "Prepare fire arrows and ignition agents to cover those Dominicans." ”

"Master Minest!" the officer holding the flag couldn't help but interrupt, "We don't know what they're here for, in case it's preparing to recapture ......"

"If they are killed by those monsters, we will die too!" Lusan roared flatly, "Whether they came to retake the fortress or not, at least now we all have a common enemy!" (To be continued......
