7. Stepping into the Trap [40/100]

After more than a year of development, the combat system of the Knights of the Darkblade has basically taken shape, except for the brainless walking corpses and skeletons that will be temporarily summoned in the war, the undead who are responsible for ground combat at the lowest level of the legion are called "infantry".

Generally speaking, their bodies are intact, equipped with rudimentary weapons and armor, and they have a certain amount of death energy in their bodies to ensure that they can move for a long time, and can use simple necromantic combat skills, but for various reasons, their thinking is lacking, it is difficult for them to carry out tactical tasks alone, and their souls may not be complete, and the possibility of continuing to promote is almost zero.

But they are not without value, the Knights of the Dark Blade have summed up a set of infantry tactics in the war with the Raven Knights, with 10-20 necromantic infantry commanded by low-level death knights, forming the most basic combat units, because the necromantic infantry does not need to wake up, so it will not consume the death spirit power of the death knights to maintain, and although they can't think, they will be very obedient after receiving orders, and they are very useful tool warriors.

Combined with brainless walking corpses and skeletons temporarily awakened by the Death Knight in critical moments, a basic combat unit can withstand the simultaneous attack of 30 Raven men on the battlefield, and if the unit is equipped with a Dark Warlock, they can hold out longer.

The complete combat legion of the Darkblade Knight is composed of 1,500 lower-level Death Knights as grass-roots commanders, 500 high-level Death Knights as middle-level commanders, commanded by a Death Lord, and equipped with a complete group of Dark Warlocks if necessary, which is definitely powerful in combat.

And for these alliances that have rushed into the Hellfire Fortress, the worst news is here... The Knights of the Darkblade currently have only two complete warbands, the first of which exterminated the Raven Men in the Aranka Peak Forest, and the Garrison Band... It's under the control of the Death Lord Luminas, and they're stationed in the Hellfire Fortress...

For more than a year, the Hellfire Fortress on the frontier was undisturbed and quiet enough, and these necromancers spent most of the time dormant like their lords, except for the interior of the Hellfire Fortress as requested by their lords.

It is a situation similar to sleep, the body and mind completely stop moving, just like the state of death, dormancy helps to preserve the state of the necromancers, especially the low-level necromancers, which can effectively ensure the integrity of their bodies, and with the natural growth of death energy, theoretically speaking, the longer the dormancy, the stronger the strength after being awakened...

Of course, this is only a theory, if the low-level necromancers can't control their minds in their dormancy, and when they are awakened, they will fall directly into painful madness, and the undead will be considered abolished.

And despite her perverse personality and some madness, Hellfire Lord Luminas is a fully qualified death knight, so she issued a defense order as soon as she noticed that the Alliance Assassins had entered the Hellfire Citadel, but this did not prevent her from completing some of her evil tastes.

"Let the gladiatorial fight... Let's go! ”

Under the command of the Death Lord, the necromantic infantry rushed from all directions to the alliance scouts defending in the center of the hall under the command of the Death Knight, like the tide beating the reef, and the non-stop charge made the human warriors feel a sense of suffocation, and the strength of the infantry was not stronger than the human warriors, but the advantage was that they were more resistant to beating than the living warriors, and they were not afraid, and they were crazy enough to fight.

"Bang"

The three skeleton scimitars smashed fiercely on the big shield erected by the warriors, and between the beating sparks, the warrior who raised the shield to defend took a step back, and the mage standing behind him waved his hands, and the scorching fireball flew out of the warrior's head, smashing the body of the necromantic infantry who raised the sword in front of him, smashing the two skeletons next to him back, and also igniting their bodies, but under the effect of the cold death energy, those flames were quickly extinguished.

Seeing the necromantic infantry limp up and continue to attack, the warrior roared angrily, raised his shield and slammed it on the skeleton in front of him, and the long sword in his hand slashed through a cold arc of light, cutting off the head of the other skeleton.

But he made a mistake.

He was facing a necromancy, and cutting off his head would not be fatal immediately, the soul fire in the eye socket of the skeleton head that smashed on the ground flashed, and the body that had lost its skull continued to attack, and the rough bone scimitar in his hand stabbed him into the abdomen fiercely under the incredible gaze of the warrior.

The blade was blocked by the thick leather armor, but the next moment the armor was torn open, leaving a hideous wound in his abdomen, and the orc necromancer next to him wanted to make up for it, but the scorching holy light turned into a war hammer and smashed on the head of the orc necromancer, igniting his entire body in an instant, and the wounded warrior was also dragged back to the position with all hands and feet, and several priests began to treat him quickly.

Blood splattered everywhere... The smell of blood seemed to irritate the surrounding necromantic infantry, who opened their rotten mouths and let out an unpleasant roar, and the attack became more violent, and for a moment, the defensive circle of the Alliance Scout Team began to shrink rapidly.

"Paladins! Dedication! ”

Myra swung her sword, a spark that danced in the Holy Light, and a single sword shattered a necromantic infantryman, the spark of the Holy Light ignited the skeleton's body, purifying it completely, and he looked back at the increasingly difficult position behind him, he shouted and gave the order.

The next moment, 15 paladins stepped forward and poured the scorching holy light in their bodies into the ground under their feet, and the power of the scorching and holy holy light immediately sanctified the ground under their feet, making it overflow with golden light, as if burning, and the necromancers who rushed into this holy place were burned madly, their movements became sluggish, and the divine fire ignited their feet, and then quickly licked their dead bodies.

The faint energy of death could not resist the scorching heat of the holy light, and it melted away as quickly as ice met the sun.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the warriors and mages of the Scout Squad began a wave of counterattacks, opening a gap in the tide of necromancy in a storm of blades and a throbbing halo of magic.

"Let's go! Can't stay here! ”

Myra carried a stabbed priest on her back, wielding her heavy sword to clear the way ahead, and behind him, the mages called for a blizzard, the heavy snowflakes slowed down the pursuit of the necromantic infantry, and the warriors protected them on both sides, and the priest kept giving them the protection of the Holy Light, helping them slash down one undead infantry after another.

"I'm going to run away, how can I do this?"

The hollow and evil voice rang out again, and the low-ranking Death Knights, who had stood at the entrance of the passage and had not moved, received the order, and they swung their runic weapons and joined the gladiatorial fight.

The arrival of the Death Knights was a disaster for the scout squad, who were able to break through the scouts' defenses with ease, as they were strengthened by the energy of death and were able to use death skills.

The warriors had to abandon their attacks and hold shields in both hands to fend off the massive slashes of the Death Knights, while the Death Grasp, swaying in the snow, dragged the protected mages and clerics into the sea of necromancers, one by one.

"Ahh I don't care about you! I don't care about you! ”

The mage girl who was dragged into the sea of necromancy let out a scream, she looked at the ugly undead around her, she was surging with magic power frantically, the purple magic blast rushed the surrounding necromantic infantry, but in the blink of an eye, another group of infantry rushed up, she only struggled for 2 seconds, and was pierced through the body by 7 bone scimitars, and in the roar of the necromancers, a young life fell.

But this is not the first victim ...

"Poof"

The scimitar slashed from behind tore through the heavy leather armor, and the warrior who had escaped death before fell to his knees in agony, holding his shield to defend against the slashes that fell from all directions, which was of course impossible, but in an instant, he became covered in bruises.

The warrior surrounded by necromancy looked up with difficulty, his face covered in blood, and a tall draenei death knight stood in front of him, his merciless eyes staring at him indifferently.

"Ahh

The warrior mustered the last of his strength, swung the long sword in his hand, and slashed at the death knight in front of him, but the monster easily grabbed his wrist, and the death knight's other hand was raised, and in the flash of light of the rune sword, a head that was unyielding to death flew into the sky.

"What a waste!"

Watching this scene, Luminas said dissatisfiedly:

"That warrior was supposed to be one of the Darkblade Knights... He has the right to save his head and return his body to Oakington... I hope he'll join me when he's drafted! ”

"Yes! Your Lordship. ”

As a result of the formation of the Alliance scouts being forcibly broken by the Death Knights, only half of them escaped into the passage where they came, and the remaining half... It was soon drowned by the tumbling sea of necromancy.

Seeing the last paladin retreat into the passage, Luminas yawned, she stood up, moved her shoulders, and stretched out her hand, and the Death Knight behind her immediately handed over two finely carved rune swords, the black swords were decorated with roses and thorn flowers, and the Death Lord swung his sword, sending a sharp whistling in the air.

She didn't change her armor, she turned and walked into the darkness behind her in her long dress, her long, well-groomed fiery red hair dancing in the darkness.

"I've slept for too long... It's time to get moving. ”

————————————

"Hold on! Varina, hold on, we'll be there soon! ”

Myra carried the injured priest girl on her back, and there were only 3 paladins left behind him, and the escape was not smooth, after the necromancers were awakened, the originally quiet and dead fortress was full of necromantic activities.

Paladin Myra. Dawnblade was desperate to find that they had almost crashed headlong into the very center of the necromantic trap.

In the face of a huge number of necromancers, it is the most foolish choice to fight to the death, he must bring the truth of the Hellfire Fortress back to the commanders, the seemingly peaceful Hellfire Peninsula hides a huge crisis, once all the necromancers in this fortress are in battle, the 5,500 expeditionary warriors will be overwhelmed in an instant... It's a death trap!

"Ahem, Myla, Mr. Mylar."

The seriously injured priest said to Myra with difficulty: "Throw me down, I am a priest, I know my situation, I have been, I can't live anymore." ”

"Don't say that, we'll take you out, there's Master Cliff in the camp, he's a bishopric priest, he'll be able to save you!"

Myra comforted the desperate priest and led the paladins all the way up the spiral staircase, and after they stepped through the quiet passageway, before leading to the fortress gates, they were greeted by heavily armed Breaker warriors and two shamans wrapped in lightning sparks.

At their feet, there were already the corpses of several mages and warriors.

"By the orders of Lord Terion and the leader of Akama!"

The Breaker Shaman stepped forward, and the beating flames formed a scorching fire elemental around him, and the twisted and crumbling Breaker shouted:

"No one can get out of here!"

"No"

Myra took a difficult step back, put aside the priest girl who was already crying behind her, patted her on the shoulder, and then stood up and stood with the two paladins behind her, who drew their weapons and intended to fight to the death.

This gesture of defiance sent a sinister smile to the ugly face of the Shaman of the Brokenman, and with a wave of his hand, a dozen Grey-Tongue warriors behind him stepped forward and surrounded the three paladins.

"Rebel, die!"

A battle to the death between the two sides was about to break out, and just as Myra raised her sword and wanted to fight back, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

"Stop!"

The voice sounded a little immature, but when he heard it, the Grey-Tongue warriors took a step back, and the shaman's eyes were a little unwilling, but in the end, he waved his hand to disperse the fire elemental, and turned his head to look at the short figure that came out of the darkness beside him.

"Lady Ella, what are you doing here?"

The Broken One asked in a low voice, and Myra turned to see a dwarf in a small black and white gown, and a tall gentleman's hat, holding a cane, standing at the entrance of the passageway, waving her cane in a commanding voice:

"This is the order of the Death Lord, these humans, they will be taken prisoner, to find out the tactical purposes and members of those alliances, this is very necessary for our master!"

After saying that, the dwarf took a step forward with bad intentions, she was very short, but she squinted her eyes and looked at the Broken Shaman in front of her, she asked in a deep voice:

"Do you want to rebel against your master's will, and before you dare to crown your preferences with your master's will, it seems that there will soon be a place for you in the Oakington Necropolis! Chop Pieces! ”

"That's not what I meant! I'm loyal to the Darkblade! ”

The Breaker Shaman took a step back in some panic, and he pointed to Myra and the paladins and said:

"Alright, well, they're yours, butler." The first free king of the Tang Dynasty
