Raymond had to rush to the front of the town immediately and figure out the situation before he could organize a counterattack. I have to say that the timing chosen by the army of the undead is really tricky.

The only consolation is that after entering Grayling Town, although it was determined that it was safe, Raymond still worked tirelessly to build a strong defense line according to his habit.

Although this move was privately criticized by many soldiers as a waste of effort, it finally played a huge role tonight. Although the town is in chaos now, there are no enemy troops in sight, only flying ghosts enter the town to wreak havoc, which means that the enemy army may not have broken through the defense line and is firmly blocked out.

Raymond and his guards were about to rush to the defense line at the entrance of the town, when suddenly the ghosts flying in the air noticed this, and several ghosts immediately flew towards the two of them.

"Not good!" Raymond knew that it would be quite troublesome to get entangled in this thing, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

But the ghost still quickly caught up with the two, and the guard turned around and drew his sword when he saw this: "My lord, you go quickly, let me stop here!"

However, this thing cannot be stopped by determination, and a ghost flew over, and the guards slashed at it with a sword. But the sword passed through the translucent ghost's body, and when the guard was stunned, the ghost burrowed through his body.

Feeling a bone-chilling cold spread through his body, the guard's face turned pale, his body shook, and several ghosts drilled through his body.

With a thud, the guard's sword fell to the ground. His whole body trembled, and even though it was a summer night, a puff of white gas erupted from his mouth, and then the guards slowly fell to the ground.

Other ghosts flew past the guards and charged towards Raymond. At the critical moment, a fire whip suddenly flew in, drawing into the group of ghosts and stirring it fiercely.

With the flick of the whip, blazing flames rose from the spirit. The scorching heat caused these cold creatures to let out a terrible scream. Most of the ghosts melted and disintegrated in the flames, and only a few fled into the dark sky.

"Lord Raymond, are you okay?" the half-elf Moslin hurried towards Raymond with a few guards.

Moslin is a skilled magician, so Tolz keeps her with Raymond to help deal with the army of the undead. Just thanks to her shot, Raymond didn't get into more trouble.

"I'm fine. Thank you very much. Raymond said.

Seeing that Raymond was safe and sound, Moslin was obviously relieved: "Great, as soon as the town is attacked, I will hurry over to find you." But there were a lot of ghosts that got into town, and I was delayed a lot of time along the way to dispel them. ”

"How's our defense?" Raymond asked.

Moslin shook her head and said, "I don't know what to do, but apart from the ghosts, I haven't seen any other undead troops, and the enemy shouldn't have attacked yet." ”

"There's no time. Come with me to the town immediately. Raymond said: "The enemy must not be allowed to break through the defensive line. ”

"Lord Raymond, what is he going to do?" said one of the soldiers, pointing to the guards on the ground.

In order to protect Raymond, the guard was attacked by multiple ghosts, and at this moment he was curled up on the ground trembling all over, without a trace of blood on his face. Fortunately, he was physically strong and still had a breath left, but he could see that he was on the verge of death.

Immediately he took him to the next room and lit the fire. Raymond commanded, "Can you survive it?" It's up to him. ”

"A few of you go everywhere at once and tell the soldiers not to panic. Weapons are useless against these ghosts. It is best to disperse them with torches. Moslin instructed the others.

The soldiers picked up the weakened guards and rushed to carry out the order. Raymond and Moslin hurried to the defense line at the entrance of the town.

Along the way, he encountered many ghosts and harassments, all of which were dispelled by Moslin's magic. After a short time, the two of them successfully arrived at the entrance of the town.

Before he could get closer, he heard a loud shout from the other side, and several huge fires were burning at the entrance of the town. Blazing flames burst into the sky, illuminating the nearby area.

As far as the firelight could see, there were many Hydington soldiers, and groups of ghosts hovered and danced above, like schools of fish fighting for food in a pool.

See this scenario. Raymond immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the defense line was indeed not lost. He and Moslin walked that way, and the closer they got to the entrance of the town, the more soldiers gathered.

"Lord Raymond. ”

"Lord Raymond, you're here. ”

Along the way, the soldiers who saw Raymond all showed relieved expressions and gave way one after another. When Raymond came to the entrance of the town, he felt the huge number of bonfires, and there were many soldiers demolishing the houses next to the road, constantly throwing furniture, doors and windows, beams and other wood into the fire, increasing the fire, and the pressure of the heat was far away and made Raymond's cheeks hurt.

Beyond the firelight, countless ghosts swirled in the deep darkness, but they were burned and fled whenever they approached. Many soldiers also held torches in weak spots, dispersing ghosts when they flew over.

Several huge fires lined up in a line formed a strong support for the defensive line, and after the fortifications erected at the entrance of the town, a large number of soldiers gathered there to safely block the attack of the undead army.

"Well done. Raymond was amazed, but he couldn't help but wonder who did such a response? Thanks to that man, otherwise there would have been a lot of chaos here.

Since he sent Bryce, Hermie and other high-ranking generals out of the city, only a few middle- and lower-level officers remained in the town of Grayling, and Raymond was eager to know who had done the great work.

He grabbed one of the junior officers and asked, "Who is in command here now, is it the centaur Tavent?"

The officer shook his head, "No, Lord Raymond, it's Miss Lorna who is in command of us. ”

"Lorna?" Raymond couldn't help but be surprised, it was her?

He came to the front, and after all these days of construction, the Headington Army had built a strong defensive line outside the town. The outward-facing houses were reinforced, called natural walls, while the gaps between the houses were cut off by high fences, and sharpened wood was made into antlers, with the sharp ends facing outward.

Since Grayling is only a small town, the defense line is tight. This allowed the Headington Army to quickly gather forces for defense after a surprise attack.

At this time, in front of the defensive line, the soldiers were bravely blocking the attack of the undead army. The infantry held their positions, and the archers climbed into the houses and fired out from the windows and roofs.

All you can hear is the sound of killing, and the soldiers holding torches high and the army of the undead trying to rush in are in a fight. In mid-air, arrows from both sides flew like a rain. The sound of breaking through the air was incessant, and people were constantly being hit by arrows falling from the roof.

And just in front of the pass directly opposite the entrance of the town, I saw Lorna standing on a pile of debris used to block the road, fighting the enemy army hard.

The wide knight's sword swung back and forth in her hand, and all the zombies and skeletons that rushed up were slashed with the sword, and a large pile of broken bones and zombies had been piled up under the high pile of debris.

As the saying goes, "one husband is closed, ten thousand people are not opened", Lorna's thin figure is like the strongest lock. Firmly stuck in the most critical part of the defensive line, the enemy army is difficult to shake at all. The soldiers in the rear looked at her back, their eyes full of reverence.

At this moment, several more skeleton soldiers rushed forward. The skeletons of these skeletons were very large, covered in rusty armor, and armed with sharp axes, like heavy soldiers who specialized in attacking fortifications. It is very different from the short, fragile skeleton soldiers who usually only hold rudimentary weapons. Like the Skeleton Archer, it should be a new class that has been specially modified by the Necromancer.

The skeletons' eyes flashed with a large cloud of ghostly fire. Shows that their necromancy is very powerful. Protected by armor, one of them rushed forward first.

Raising his tomahawk, the skeleton slashed at Lorna. As soon as Lorna stepped aside, she heard a loud bang, and debris flew in a flew, and the strength of these skeleton soldiers was indeed not covered. The axe sank deep into the debris.

With little effort, the skeleton pulled the axe out, and as it moved, the armor draped over its empty rack of bones rattling.

It turned and swung another axe at Lorna, as it was lifeless. They are not afraid of injury and death, so the attack of the skeleton soldiers does not leave a back hand at all, and it is completely a desperate posture, which is very troublesome.

Lorna, by contrast, appears unusually calm. In the swing of the skeleton man's axe, she dodged the attack with minimal movement, carefully observing the new enemy, and several times the axe grazed her body, narrowly enough.

It can be seen that after Kress's teaching and continuous training in actual combat, Lorna's swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds. In the past, even if she could dodge the other party's attack, she would have been very embarrassed, far from being as easy as she is now.

Finally, when the skeleton soldier swung his axe at him, Lorna decided to fight back. She stooped to avoid the blow, and as she stood, the sword in her hand stabbed forward, stabbing into the gap between the skeleton's wrists, and then gently picking the bones of his wrist apart.

Losing a hand, the brave skeleton soldier has no intention of giving up. It slashed at it with the axe in one hand, but Lorna, who had already figured out its path, could not even dodge, and with a twist of her sword on the axe, she swung the axe away, and stabbed it into the gap in the skeleton's armor, picking off its other hand.

Under Lona's dance-like effortless and graceful attacks, the skeletons' thick armor did nothing. Its hands were gone, it had lost its ability to attack, and the angry skeleton opened its mouth towards Lorna, as if to choose someone to devour, but then its head was cut off.

Lorna kicked the skeleton's body off the pile of debris, and heard a loud bang that the huge skeleton scattered into a pile of broken bones.

A few of the other skeletons rushed up, but Lorna wasn't going to fight them. She took advantage of the weakness of the opponent's slow movements, and nimbly roamed on the small pile of debris, and the knight's sword picked or stabbed, and at the least cost, all the joints of those skeletons were destroyed, and then killed them one by one.

Soon, the menacing skeleton soldiers were all turned into a pile of broken bones, and they were with their former companions.

Once again, the onslaught of the undead army was thwarted, and the enemy's offensive weakened considerably. Lorna was also a little tired, she caught her breath with her sword, and when she saw that the enemy's attack was weakening, she immediately turned back and said, "You stay here, if the enemy's attack is stronger, call me immediately." ”

The soldiers in the rear immediately took up Lorna's position, vigilantly guarding against the enemy's attack. Lorna walked back, and after a long battle, there was a trace of exhaustion on the girl's face, and the sweat-soaked hair stuck to her forehead and cheeks, giving her a touch of charm when she was strong.

"Lona. Good job. Raymond walked up to Lorna and exclaimed, "I already know that tonight thanks to you, the enemy did not succeed." ”

"Lord Raymond, you're here. Seeing Raymond, Lorna hurriedly said, "The enemy suddenly appeared outside the town. Thankfully, we managed to hold it, but there were still a lot of ghosts that slipped into town. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's going to be dawning soon, and these things will be much less powerful during the day. Moslin said, "Just use fire to disperse them." ”

Speaking of this, Raymond said curiously: "Lorna, why are you commanding here?"

After Lorna's explanation, Raymond realized that it was Lorna's turn to be on duty tonight, so she led people to patrol the town's defenses all night. Lorna is an extremely serious person. Although the town of Grelyn was not in danger of being attacked, she still dutifully patrolled every place, and it was this dedication that saved the night from the balance.

After being attacked by an army of the undead, Lorna quickly organized her troops to defend herself. Since she had experience dealing with ghosts when she fought with necromancers before, she was able to raise a few fires in time to prevent the troops from panicking under the attack of ghosts. It was the most crucial step to be able to hold the defence tonight.

After that, Lorna led her troops to stubbornly engage the army of the undead, and led by example to hold on to the most critical points. Originally, Lorna's position was not enough to command so many troops. But on the one hand, she was a retinue of Princess Sophia, and her noble position, and her excellent performance tonight won the respect of many officers and soldiers, so that the soldiers held the place firmly under her command and avoided further deterioration of the situation.

Only then did Raymond know what was going on, and he couldn't help but secretly say that he was lucky. If it weren't for Lorna tonight, the army of the undead would have rushed into the town and slaughtered.

And because he misjudged the situation, he was greatly relaxed, and he almost fell into the enemy's way, which is really ashamed.

At this time, as Moslin's method spread, it spread everywhere. The soldiers lit torches to ward off the spirits, and the chaos in the town had subsided a lot, with more and more soldiers rushing here to help in the battle.

However, the situation is still not optimistic, and now the enemy situation outside the town is unknown, and it is not known how many undead have surrounded this place. However, based on previous experience, the other party will never be so easy to dismiss.

After paying a good tribute to Lorna's bravery, Raymond, along with her and Moslin, climbed onto the roof of a house on the edge of the town and looked out.

By this time, the sky was already dark, and through the faint light of the sky, Raymond saw a dense army of undead gathered outside the town, and its vanguard was constantly attacking the defense line of the Hydington army.

"Oh my God, how did so many enemy troops get through our lines and get here?" Moslin couldn't help but exclaim.

Raymond said: "These guys don't need to be resupplied and rested, and they are not affected by morale, as long as the necromancer magic is enough, no matter how long the march is, they can maintain the most complete formation." In a sense, they are the ideal soldiers. ”

Lorna said, "I have heard Master say that if the army of the undead marches at night, it will be amazingly secretive, and it can travel a long distance in one night, which is very difficult to deal with. ”

Raymond nodded: "It seems that they must have seized the gap in our defense line and rushed over overnight." Moreover, the layout of our defense line is based on the premise of protecting the rear of the Sidonis army, and there is not much protection here, and if we aim here, there will be many breakthrough points. ”

Moslin said, "I see. But isn't it strange that these guys don't come to the rescue of their lair, but come and attack us, can they have the confidence to defeat us and then go back to break the siege?"

Raymond shook his head and said, "I am also puzzled by this, the movement of the enemy army is really very strange. ”

At this time, Lorna, who had been observing the enemy army, suddenly said, "Lord Raymond, you... Do you feel that there is something wrong with the number of enemies? ”

"What?" Raymond didn't understand what she meant.

Lorna pointed to the dense army of undead outside the town and said, "I mean, will there be too few enemies?"

"That's not much?" Mo Silin couldn't help but say, "I think it's already a lot, you see that the open space outside the town is almost unstoppable." ”

At first, Raymond wondered why Lorna said that, but after a closer look, he also noticed that something was wrong.

The undead soldiers have very low combat effectiveness per soldier, especially the skeleton soldiers and zombies at the lowest level. It's all about numbers, so the army of the undead is in the tens of thousands.

At a glance, the army of the undead besieging Grayling Town was densely packed, and the number was not small. But if you look closely, you will find that they are basically skeletons and zombies, and there are no high-level undead soldiers at all.

And so it goes. This number of undead armies is not as terrible as it seems. Originally, Raymond thought that since the other party had the confidence to go deep into the encirclement and directly attack his main force, then the number should be larger, but now it seems that there is no overwhelming feeling as rumored.

It's strange, the army of the undead shouldn't be the only one, isn't it true that after destroying their magic array last time, the other party's losses are more serious than they seem?

But no matter what. The fact that so many undead are a great threat in themselves and must not be taken lightly.

As a result, Raymond immediately issued a series of orders for his men to gather troops to hold the line, and sent people to the town to quell the chaos and gather the troops as soon as possible. Fortunately, there were no more people in the town, and the chaos was avoided from worsening.

Anyway, first of all, it is necessary to hold out until dawn. After thoroughly understanding the enemy's situation, we will think about countermeasures.

With Raymond in command, the soldiers were reassured. As Raymond led the Beddington army from weak to strong. After a series of victories, he has long become an undefeated existence in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, if Lorna has aroused everyone's will to fight before, then Raymond is like giving them a reassurance, and no one will panic anymore.

After quelling the panic, the excellent qualities that the Headington Army had cultivated over a long period of time in battle began to show. Raymond incorporated the most experienced Royal Praetorian Guard into all ranks. As a middle and lower-level commander, with the leadership of these veterans, the combat power of the Headington Army has been greatly improved, even if it is the Feredon Alliance Army, which has only recently joined, it has not dragged down the combat strength of the troops.

Under the command of an officer. The resistance of the Headington Army began to unfold in an orderly manner. Groups of soldiers were deployed to various points in the defensive line, and as they moved in, the defensive line, which had been battered, finally began to take hold.

At this time, the clouds in the sky have begun to turn white, and it will not be long before the sun comes out. Once dawn, the advantage of the undead army will be greatly weakened, the activity of the ghosts will also be slowed down, and Raymond will be able to effectively organize a counterattack.

The enemy also realized this, so they took advantage of the last stage before dawn to start a frenzied attack. For a while, along the defensive line outside Grayling Town, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the two sides came and went, each did not give in, and launched a fierce battle.

Although the undead army was outnumbered and fiercely attacked, it lacked the cooperation of high-level undead troops and did not achieve the expected effect.

"Well, if that's all the enemy wants, it shouldn't be a problem to stay until dawn. Moslin clapped her hands and said happily after throwing a large fireball into the undead army, blowing up countless skeleton soldiers.

Raymond thinks so, but why don't the enemy army have any high-level undead? Raymond is really strange, if there is a group of ghouls, or a few necromantic knights, the defense line will definitely be torn apart.

Is the other side hiding its strength, or is it all there is to it?

Just when Raymond couldn't help guessing, on the side of the defensive line, there was a sudden loud commotion on the other side of the town.

"What's going on?" the movement over there immediately caught Raymond's attention.

A few people looked from the roof, but the large room and the darkness made it impossible to make out what was going on. At this time, the noise over there became louder and louder, and many figures could be faintly seen.

"Oops, it looks like something happened. "Moslin is a half-elf with good vision, she said after looking at it for a moment.

At this time, I saw a soldier hurriedly running over and shouting at the three people below: "Lord Raymond, it's not good, the undead troops are attacking from the other side!"

His voice was so loud that the soldiers around him heard it and immediately caused a commotion. Fortunately, there were officers of the former Praetorian Guard soldiers who pressed them, so they did not cause confusion. (To be continued......)
