Volume I, Chapter 29, The Battle of Ghana II
Vera Arnold sat behind Judd like this, she couldn't believe that her former enemy would save her life today, when she looked at Judd's resolute eyes, she didn't know what to do, but there were too many people in Orn, even though Judd and the other five people had super will and determination, but in the face of the black crowd, they were just ordinary people.
"You shit, you shit!"
The commander in charge of the clean-up saw that his sergeant had actually let a few traitors and a group of villagers resist, and the anger in his heart could not be suppressed, and he cursed.
Judd heard his angry scolding, too, which reminded him of his own damned captain, who all seemed to be the same now, who had never taken their subordinates seriously, and who saw the soldiers as nothing more than garbage to be sacrificed for merit.
"Judd, we can't resist anymore and must retreat to the village. Behind Judd, a knight with a severed arm shouted loudly, after all, five people had limited manpower to defend themselves against this crazy group of soldiers.
"Let the militia retreat first, and a few of us will cover the evacuation. Judd relied on his own judgment to give orders, but the knight with the broken arm was attacked by other soldiers not long after he finished speaking, and died tragically beside his comrades.
Judd didn't regret his departure, he didn't even have time to sigh, they were going to use their lives to save the damage they had done.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" Judd shouted, and the militiamen who received the order began to withdraw towards the village with the wounded, and the soldiers of Orn seized the opportunity and quickly counterattacked, Judd did not hesitate to retreat with his remaining three companions, and at the same time grabbed Vera Arnold, who was still on the ground and did not know what to do.
"This is the battlefield, don't you want to swing the sword, if I die here, then the reason for you to swing the sword will not be revenge, but protection!" Judd cried out loudly in Vera Arnold's ear, obviously the girl in front of him had been stupefied by this situation, war was cruel, and it was difficult for a weak woman like Vera Arnold to accept, even if she was firmly burdened with the anger of revenge.
Judd knew that they alone would not be able to resist the invasion of Orn, and the only one who could save the villagers was Yulido Yah, but at this time, the patron saint of the village did not appear, and no one knew where she went. Judd watched as all the people retreated to the vicinity of the center of the village, and decisively began to have the people around them light torches and throw them towards several houses near the entrance of the village.
"What are you doing!" Some villagers who don't understand how it could be seem to want to stop it, but Judd can't care about anything anymore, and in a little later, the village will be completely destroyed.
The grass hut was quickly set on fire, because it had just rained a few days ago, so there was still a lot of dampness on the roof of the house, so the fire was not big, but the smoke was very large. "I just want Yurido-sama to be able to see it. Judd thought to himself.
The soldiers rushed into the village, and all the old people who fled slowly were killed, and there were less than three hundred villagers trapped in the center of the village, and one of Judd's companions was left at this time, a guy named Diva, and the rest were also unlucky enough to die at the hands of the Orn soldiers.
In the center of the village was a large straight road, and the only way to escape was in the direction behind them, which was directly connected to the Misty Forest, and Judd ordered all the disabled young militiamen to stay, and the uninjured to flee immediately in the direction of the Misty Forest with the remaining old men, women, and children in the village.
No one refuted this time, and they all knew that someone had to make a sacrifice, otherwise none of them would survive.
Vera Arnold, however, chose to stay, most of the fear had dissipated from her eyes, and although her hand with the sword was still a little entangled, she still took the first step forward bravely.
"What are you doing! Judd shouted a shout.
Vera Arnold just glanced at Judd, and her hatred for him had faded in the past.
The Orn soldiers charged, and Judd shouted and led the remaining twenty or thirty men to counterattack, and the battle was set in the central square of the village.
Vera's swordsmanship is very skilled, but the first time she sees the blood of the enemy, Judd guards her side, trying to protect her safety as much as possible, but as the people around her fall one after another, Judd can't make more resistance.
Bang!
When the unknown soldier swung his sword and collided with Vera Arnold, Vera Arnold's arms were numb and unconscious, and the sword in her hand was also knocked several meters away, and she staggered back a few steps, tripped over a stone under her feet.
The malevolent soldier had no idea what mercy was, and hurried towards Vera Arnold in an attempt to end her life with a single sword. Not far away, Judd saw Vera in danger, and ran in her direction without even dodging the spear that would come from the opposite side, and was stabbed hard by the opponent's spear on Judd's right shoulder, and blood gushed out.
Judd was a knight with a sword in his right hand, and when he was attacked by a spear, he was unable to swing his sword again, so when he realized that Vera's life was in danger, he jumped forward and used his body to block the deadly sword for Vera Arnold.
"You..."
Looking at Judd, who was covered in blood and fell powerlessly in front of him, Vera Arnold didn't know what to say, her enemy actually saved her life at the most critical moment, is there anything more torturous in the world.
Vera Arnold closed her eyes, the village was over, it was all over in the raging fire, everything was over, only a small part of the villagers who fled for their lives remained, but whether she could survive was still a question, Vera tried not to let herself think about these problems, she closed her eyes, quietly waited for death to come, and then she could go to see her parents.
The murderous sword did not fall for a long time, and Vera's ears were still the sound of the other party's armor rattling.
Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds, and when Vera Arnold felt suspicious and opened her eyes to look, there was hope in her eyes - in front of her were the minions of Master Pandora Yassinger, and yes, Vera Arnold appeared in front of the people led by the demon Bafant, who had just returned from the city of Seca.
"Who are you!Wanderer!" the commander of the Orn soldier asked aloud on his horse, judging by the strange-looking sub-figures, who could not be thought of with the villagers anyway, "Get out of here now, or you will die together!"
Ba Fengte raised his eyes, not knowing whether it was a smile or other expressions, but he didn't answer the other party's words.
"Kill him for me!" the chief looked at Bafont and became angry.
Something strange happened, the bodies of almost all the people who had died before began to tremble inexplicably, as if they were lying down and dancing, and then as the guy wearing a cloak behind Bafont came over and gently raised his arm, all the dead actually stood up.
'Death Resurrection!'
(Fourth-order high-level magic, which can make the dead continue to fight, and the number of dead manipulated is determined by the amount of magic value of the magician, up to tens of thousands.) )
Engles is the one who has the fastest recovery of his magic power among all of them, the Forest of Mists is a fertile soil for him to nourish himself, and when they found out about the melee in the village of Ghana, they have already decided that there will be no one left behind, so Engles will no longer leave his hand, and the village that the king has managed to recover has been destroyed by these stupid humans, and his anger is enough to swallow everyone.
The dead came back to life, looking at the soldiers of Orn with hideous faces, and the scene became strange for a while.
"Kill!" Engles gave the order, and the undead soldiers entered the battle.
