065 The arrival of another Catalan legion
The king was about to answer Elzam's words, and the paladin had already broken through the barrier of the undead.
It was a squad of five holy warriors, each of whose bodies were shrouded in pure white and soft light, and when they saw that light, they would think of the spring breeze, and then produce a series of associations.
The contrast between that association and the bright light of the Holy Slash was dramatic.
Everywhere the Holy Slash went, whether it was a skeleton or a ghoul, it all fell apart, and even the most survivable zombie couldn't withstand the second blow.
However, Elzam's resurrected zombies will burst pus, which is corrosive and can act as a stagger paladin.
And the king turned and ran.
He never expected that he would be chased by five paladins running around the street, seeing that he was close to the final situation.
Elzam above his head was still stiff-mouthed: "Hmph, that is, I don't have a high-ring spell anymore, if I have a high-ring spell, only five holy warriors will kill you." ”
The lich can speak, after all, he speaks telepathically, and if he wants to be heard by others, he can limit the person who accepts it.
As soon as the king spoke, the paladins behind him heard it.
He ran all the way and disappeared into the shanty town around the embassy.
**
Catalan General Tullius is stupid, and the squad of paladins who risked their lives to attack drove the lich away, can you believe it?
He touched his chin: "Isn't this lich actually strong?" But looking at the speed at which the dead are transformed, it looks like the kind of old lich that has been alive for a long time. The old lich usually tortures and kills five paladins at will. ”
After all, the legion's chaladins were not as strong as the paladins of the Church Order, at least in Tulius's opinion, these five paladins would even be afraid of the pus bursting from the zombies.
However, the lich ran away, and in return, more undead surrounded the paladins.
The paladins who rushed into the formation of the undead were directly surrounded, and Tulius could soon only see the faint light in the group of undead creatures - it should be the aura of the holy warriors.
Suddenly, a leg was thrown into the sky, and judging by the raging blood on the broken leg, it should be the leg of a living person.
The paladin's aura began to dim.
The undead eventually overtook the quality of the paladins with quantity.
Tulius no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Herald! Blow the trumpet of retreat immediately! ”
The Catalan legions were well trained, and even the retreat was well trained, and as the horn sounded, they would quickly retreat in batches to the predetermined retreat point.
The retreat point this time is naturally the portal.
The adjutant shouted: "General! How do you explain to the emperor and the national teacher? ”
Tulius: "How?" We don't know where the Master and the Substitute are gone, so isn't it over with this report? Or do you know where the Substitute and the Master have gone? ”
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Tulius: "The Order has its own system, so let the followers of the local Order worry about this kind of thing, the Catala Imperial Legion is only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Tourius deliberately avoided mentioning that the vicarious was the Princess of Catala.
The adjutant had a suddenly enlightened expression: "Understood, we only need to report that the undead raid interrupted the process, and then we just need to shake the pot and say that we don't know." ”
Tulius: "You can also bite back, saying that the Order did not report it, resulting in heavy losses for the Legion." You see, the Sphinx troops who captured the Floating City have not yet heard from them, and eighty percent of them have been destroyed, which must be a mistake in the information provided by the Order.
"And the main force of the legion was originally going to seize the port and grab the ship to attack the floating city, but the undead army suddenly appeared and pressed the legion back. Is it our responsibility? This is clearly the responsibility of the Order's unfavorable intelligence gathering. ”
The adjutant was overjoyed and shouted: "O general! And according to the news released by the Salvation Squad, the Extinction Crisis is divided into several stages, one of which is that the undead are allies of the Salvation Squad, and the Order actually did not pay attention to collecting information on the undead, which is dereliction of duty! ”
At this time, a centurion appeared at the door of the temporary command post and reported loudly: "General! The heads of the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Frank, the Archduchess and the Vice-Chancellors have been brought! ”
Tulius was overjoyed: "Very good, very good! Now we have more interface teachers back to the court! ”
**
At this time, the Order's original regional boss, the district chief Odolph, and the head of the operations department of the lower Ke, Ogga, were staring at each other in the hall where the portal was located.
Princess Cadia was originally going to let the two of them fight against the Salvation Squad, but then she thought that Odolph was also the Seven Rings, and the Seven Rings of the Order that the Salvation Squad had killed were enough to open a game of bridge.
So the princess decided to go with the master herself, and Odolph and Oga stayed here.
Now that the princess and the master have been gone for so long, there is not even a single message, and then the situation outside has changed abruptly, and a large number of undead creatures have emerged.
Although there is no evidence that the appearance of the undead has anything to do with the princess, most people will suspect: such a big change has not even sent back a single news, could it be that the princess and the master have overturned?
Now the sound of fierce battles between the legions and the undead outside kept wafting in, and the soldiers of the field branch of the Order who stayed behind in the hall all looked at each other, some of them had written the idea of running away on their faces, and more chose to pray to Ragnala.
Ragnora's powers also include the banishment of the undead, and theoretically its order should be very good at dealing with the undead.
In fact, the soldiers of the Order all fire a special smoke grenade, which is said to be effective against the undead.
However, no one has actually used this anti-undead smoke grenade.
After all, in the past, the anti-undead were either the Holy Emblem or the Holy Water Holy Fire, and it was the first time I heard that the Holy Smoke was against the undead.
Just then, the horn of the Legion suddenly came from outside.
Oga frowned: "Retreat horn? What's going on? The Legion isn't going to run, is it? ”
As soon as the door opened, General Tulius and his lieutenant of the Catala Legion strode in.
Olga stopped in front of the two, and Odolph silently walked to the position where the portal could be closed at any time - leaving him, the seven-ring mage, to stay behind, mainly for this: the situation was wrong to prevent the enemy from counterattacking Catala through the portal.
Ogara: "General Tulius, what do you mean?" The intention of His Majesty and the National Teacher is to seize the Floating City at all costs. Why are you going back before you set foot on the land of the Floating City? ”
General Tulius sneered: "You are embarrassed to say that your intelligence was wrong, and the advance of the Imperial Legion was blocked by the undead!" Did the information you gave mention of the undead in half a word? ”
Ogga: "It's just some low-level skeletons, zombies, and ghouls, and they don't even see the mid-level undead like ghosts, and there are no high-level undead like the Black Knights, so the Imperial Legion can't beat them?" ”
Tulius: "If it's just ordinary undead creatures, of course it's easy to destroy them, but according to the tip, the lich himself has already arrived at the scene and killed the paladin squad that went to fight it!"
"It's clear that this is about to become a lich-controlled realm of the dead. Crusading against him should be the task of the knights of the gods. The Catalan Legion has completed some of its missions with honor, taking the titles of Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of the Duchy of Frank and the Vice-Chancellors!
"Now the legion should return to the dynasty! Sing a song of triumph! ”
Odolph sneered: "What a triumphant song!" His Majesty's order is to seize the Floating City, at all costs! What about the Floating City? ”
Tulius: "We sent the Sphinx troops under the command of the Order and lost our only air cover. As for not taking the Floating City, of course, it is the responsibility of the Sect Master who sent the Sphinx troops. ”
Tulius didn't even mention the fact that the Order's vicarious was the Emperor's daughter.
There are any pots that are carried by your order.
Ogga: "A few people wanted to escape, and they dumped the pot on the Order, which I can't accept. Suffer death! ”
As the words fell, all the field troops of the Order drew their weapons, and after the sound of unsheathing, the bright swords reflected the light from the glass sky.
Tulius just raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him drew their swords in unison, and the crossbowmen mixed with the swordsmen also raised their crossbows.
Just then, a new flag appears from the portal.
It was the banner of another Catalan legion.
Tulius exclaimed: "Second Legion! Your Majesty is determined to take the Floating City this time! ”
**
Elzam suddenly said, "Something is wrong. ”
Since there were no living people around at this time, the king asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"These undead are affiliated with me, and I can call on their vision, you know? Through their vision, I noticed that there were suddenly more people in the Legion? ”
Wang frowned: "Then let's see if these many people's armor is different from the original legionnaires." Probably, this is another legion. ”
"Huh? Can you still see it through this? Makes sense. Aren't you smart? ”
No, no, no, it's strange that you didn't think of this before, right?
Elzam: "It's a different legion, and I've seen different flags. ”
Wang: "Catala shouldn't be a desperate gamble for the sake of the Floating City, right?" ”
Elzam: "It can only be a floating city, after all, this country called the Principality of Frank, I don't think it's worth the investment of a downstream power." Unless Catala prepares to use the Duchy of Frank as a springboard to invade Monrovia. ”
Wang shook his head: "It's unlikely, Catala and Monrovia are far away, and they are still countercurrent, and the river transportation is relatively slow, and the logistics are inconvenient." They're supposed to be here for the Floating City. ”
Elzam: "You're a hot potato." What to do? With two legions, it will be difficult to advance with the undead. On top of that, I don't know if a third legion will join in. ”
The king added: "And although Catala seems to be the nest of the Order, there was originally a regular church of righteous God, and cardinals were in charge." ”
Elzam: "That's going to be difficult......
Wang: "It doesn't matter how many of them come, just close the portal." The door is closed, and all that is left are captives. ”
Elzam: "But now my undead army probably won't be able to shut the door. ”
"Don't be afraid," said the king, "I have a plan. ”
