Chapter 019 (Skeleton Army Siege).
The walls of the city are hundreds of feet high, enough to make people daunted and cringe!
But under the city walls, at a glance, the dense undead creatures are crowded together irregularly, which is even more creepy and terrifying!
Undead creatures are most commonly represented by the common skeletons, zombies, and ghosts, most of which are characterized by their sluggishness and lack of self-awareness.
Undead creatures are considered to be the special form of life that arises from the attachment of the living to the present world before death, as well as the inability to resolve deep grievances, among which the disembodied ghost ghost is more special, and the ghost ghost is considered to be the materialized expression of a pure spiritual body, which usually requires the use of a weapon attached to the power of magic to inflict substantial damage on it.
Seven days ago, Brooke used a stand-in technique to escape from the sword of Sir Bowen Ness. He turned himself into a vulture and flew west along the river until he reached Salt by night. And the undead creatures that appeared out of thin air under the city walls were the work of this necromancer.
When the necromancer Brooke summoned thousands of skeleton warriors from the corpses outside the city walls, the defenders of the city were already sharpening their knives and waiting for them.
Skeleton warriors are warriors created by necromancers using spells that resurrect the dead. No matter what kind of creature they were in life, they will stand up from the corpse in the form of skeletons. Skeleton Warriors are low-level undead creatures, and after being summoned for a certain period of time, most skeleton warriors will disappear, and only a few skeleton warriors will survive longer.
When it comes to fighting enemies, the Skeleton Warrior is the most heroic and terrifying warrior in the world. Because they don't flinch, they don't know fear, they don't feel weariness and pain. They only know to obey orders and destroy the enemy in front of them.
Above the city walls. The fire burns. Soldier Yan sΓΉ. Bow up, sword unsheathed, guard the walls!
Henry Sweet roared in rage, "Damn Targaryens, how dare you make our enemies, and even more despicable for letting these undead creatures fight for you, and then hoping that others will see you as warriors." The anger that had been building up in his heart these days erupted like a volcano, "and I just want to say that as the offspring of the 'bear and wolf', we will treat you like cattle and sheep!" Spread far, far away.
The knights guarding the walls kept beating their shields with their weapons and screaming, "Kill, kill, kill." β
"Kill, kill, kill. β
"Kill, kill, kill, kill. Kill ......"
The angry knights burst open like a flood that filled a trough. Roaring, it overwhelmingly overwhelmed all the enemies outside the walls.
The knights of the Knights of Glory are fearless, once invincible and invincible, even in the face of thousands of undead creatures.
Luke Ness 'Giant' had a warhammer in his hand, his shield clenched, and his uncontrollable anger made his whole body stiff like a boulder. What he didn't expect was that in order to win the war, the Targaryen family did not hesitate to collude with the "evil forces" entrenched in the territory of the [Demon Territory].
Although Captain Luke does not know what agreement has been reached between the "Targaryens" and the "evil forces", he is well aware that the "evil forces" have a stake in whatever they do, and they always get a good reward from their employers.
In the dark world of the Commonwealth of Cania, there are three dark forces that are known to the world and feared at the same time. They are: "Assassination Organization", "Evil Forces", and "Thieves' Guild".
The forces of evil are different from the thieves' guilds and assassination organizations, and their members are a group of necromancers. The necromancer throws himself fanatically into the dark magic of death and corruption as a human, hoping to get the desired power from the death that humans fear.
Necromancers use some charred fragments of dead bodies, especially those who have died by hanging and humiliation...... ...... with small pieces of nails or teeth Hair, ears, or eyes...... Muscles, bones, or fresh flesh complete spell spells. Due to the heinous nature of this ritual of black magic, necromancers are often spurned. The Holy See accuses them of being servants of the devil, and the biblical description of them is a symbol of ruin, even though necromancers have always argued about the distinction between the undead and the devil.
Under the purge of the "Holy See" and the "Hunter Alliance", a large number of necromancers will inevitably become prey. In the end, in order to survive, the necromancers who survived gathered together to form an "evil force" and entrenched themselves in the territory of the [Demon Territory] to escape the persecution of the Holy See.
For the most part, members of the "evil forces" are carefully evading the hunt of paladins and judgment priests sent by the Holy See, and the rangers of the "Hunter Alliance" are their hated enemies. Unlike other necromancers, Brooke doesn't like to hide in dark corners or closed chambers, and hates being hunted by paladins and rangers.
Outside the walls, in the camp of the Targaryen army, Baron Curwen and Sir Duncan looked at each other. The necromancer in front of them, clad in gray robes and holding a bone staff, made them feel terrified and helpless.
Brooke is both a core member of the "forces of evil" and a special member of the "assassination organization", and he also has a noble family of Targaryens. His unknown identity is the son of Count Lorac Targaryen, who became a necromancer, all thanks to his father.
"When did the soldiers of the House of Targaryen become wine bags and rice bags?" the necromancer sneered expressionlessly, "Seven days have passed, and tens of thousands of troops can't even take a small town?" β
Brooke Targaryen was killed 500 years ago by the sword of Duke Brandon Islam in the battle between the Targaryens and the Islamists for the Golden Tooth City. In order to resurrect his beloved son, the grief-stricken Earl of Lorac did not hesitate to use the resurrection of the dead to turn Brooke into a necromancer cursed by the gods and spurned by the world.
"Lord Brooke," Sir Duncan humbly explained, "it's not that his men and soldiers are greedy for life and death, but that it is the Knights of Glory led by Luke Ness who guard Salt Town. β
The corners of the necromancer's mouth curled in an eerie arc, "This is your excuse?" Brooke had lived for five hundred years in this wrinkled, rotten skin, and he had never feared anyone, for he possessed the ability to live forever.
Brooke wasn't the one who lived the longest in the world. His father, the only golden-robed magister in the Commonwealth of Cania, the commander of the Heavy Infantry Legion, and the lord of the "City of Magic", Lord Lorac Targaryen has lived for more than 800 years.
"He is an invincible and invincible giant," Baron Curwen noted, "and no one can escape from the giant's hammer." β
"Look at your shiny armor," Brooke said, stretching his black right hand from his long sleeve and drawing the sword from Sir Duncan's waist, "and look at the razor-sharp sword to see why you can't take the wall on the other side." β
Sir Duncan and Baron Curwen were speechless for a moment, they both knew in their hearts that if they led their soldiers to attack the city, there would be only one end, and that was to go and never return.
"It seems that my army of the undead will have to take the wall for the two adults!" Brooke's grim expression added a little disdain. If it weren't for the fact that they were still in charge of the remaining soldiers, the necromancer would have eliminated the two greedy and death-fearing wastes in front of them with a single sword, and then turned them into members of the army of the undead, so that they could rush to the wall without hesitation.
