It was a nightmare.

In the sky, the fire ravens and the skeletal griffins joined forces to launch the most fierce attack on the fantasy manta fish, and on the earth, the flame beasts and the dark army of the undead pushed forward together, the bright red flames were as striking as the edges of the black carpet, they fell under the attack of the phantom beasts, but soon new darkness would fill the void. The battle line was compressing, but for the people on the walls, they weren't even in the mood to care about what was happening below.

“Sume！”

Serena stretched out her hands, and the cold wind swept through her as sharp blades, only to see a black, shriveled, fishy ghoul fall from the city walls. But at the same time, another dark shadow had quietly come to her side.

And at this time, Frederick also made a move.

The long sword in the young knight's hand brought a burst of cyan brilliance, and pierced into the ghoul's body without hindrance, originally the ghoul's skin should be as hard as iron, and even a sharp sword could not inflict serious damage. But now, after the weakening of the anti-death barrier, the ghoul had lost the protection he was proud of, and Frederick's longsword tore through its flesh like a dinner knife that sliced through butter, deep into it. The battered ghoul roared and stretched out his black, thin arm and grabbed at the young knight. Seeing this scene in front of him, Frederick screamed in fright, but the movements in his hands did not stop, on the contrary, in the face of the ghoul attack, the young knight reacted extremely quickly. He jerked out his right foot and kicked the ghoul hard, instantly widening the distance between himself and the monster, and then the sword in Frederick's hand slashed again, erupting into a blue-green smooth, howling wind that rose to the ground. Then a series of screams were heard, and the ghoul flew upside down, then crashed into several of his companions, and then fell and disappeared without a trace.

“——！”

Frederick whistled triumphantly, and when he turned his head, he was surprised to see another ghoul leaping up the edge of the wall like a gecko, roaring and outstretching its claws, and pounced on a spirit master who was in charge of protecting the spirit.

"Be careful!"

I saw this scene in front of me. Frederick hurriedly shouted loudly, in his mind, spirit masters were fragile, vulnerable, and difficult to face in battle. At this moment, seeing that the ghoul actually threw himself down behind the spirit master, Frederick was also shocked, but he was too far away from the other party to go over to the rescue. At this moment, Frederick could only hope that someone around the girl would notice all this and help her block the other party's attack. But alas. At this moment, there is no one else around the girl, and the only thing that can save her seems to be a miracle.

The miracle didn't happen——— because there was no need for it at all.

The ghoul's claws tore off. Rushing straight at the girl in front of her, it only took a moment for its sharp claws to tear through the girl's delicate skin, and taste the taste of flesh and blood in her terrible screams. However, its purpose did not succeed, and its sharp claws hit an invisible barrier in midair. The unprepared ghoul bounced away from the attack, which he had not encountered beforehand. The girl was also startled when she saw it, and she turned around in disbelief, just in time to see the ghoul rolling on the ground due to the reaction force, but then the girl's behavior was not as panicked and screaming as Frederick imagined. On the contrary, although the girl's immature face flashed a little nervous. But she hurriedly stretched out her hand, and in the blink of an eye, three or four rays of light shone over the ghoul's head. Then I saw that the originally agile ghoul seemed to be shackled all over his body, and he couldn't even move. It was only at this time that Frederick saw the spirit master girl make a few gestures, and then a pillar of white light fell from the sky and hit the ghoul hard. With the bombardment of divine energy, the disgusting and ugly monster was reduced to ashes in the wail.

The spirit master is so powerful?

Seeing this scene, Frederick couldn't help but be stunned. When Rhodes first asked these spirit masters to go to the front line, the young knight actually didn't slander this lord in his heart, so he didn't pity the jade so much, and put a group of spirit masters who "had no ability to fight" on the front line, isn't it obvious that they should be sent to death? After living in the fortress for a few days, Frederick was not unaware that Daorod's subordinates had always been training the fighting ability of the spirit master, but at that time the young knight did not pay attention to this, in his opinion, the so-called spirit master's combat power was estimated to teach them how to protect themselves, at most it was just a few strokes of the sword. But now it looks ............ How do you feel that this group of spirit masters who should have been powerless are even more powerful than themselves?

The brilliance of magic or spiritual magic began to appear one after another on the city walls, and the soldiers gradually calmed down from the initial chaos, at first they had never seen such tactics as the undead legions, and they were just frightened for a while. However, everyone soon reacted, and began to sweep away the ghouls that rushed to the walls under the cover of the psionic barrier and the wall of ice, dodging the rain of arrows from the undead legion. These ghouls were originally strong, at worst at level 30, and their claws inflicted toxins and diseases, combined with their iron-hard skin, made them a very formidable foe in hand-to-hand combat. In normal times, these ghouls rushing up the walls would be enough to cause great confusion among the defenders. However, because of the suppression of the anti-death enchantment, the strength of the ghouls has directly dropped by half, and there is only a level of less than fifteen levels left, and the iron claws they are proud of have also been completely wiped out by the divine power, it can be said that now these ghouls are almost completely removed from their claws, and even the speed they are proud of is much slower. In this case, the ghouls who had set foot on the walls were quickly swept away by the defenders, the only problem was that the black cables attached to the crossbow bolts were so hard that some daring soldiers had tried to cut them, but the black, hard ropes were as untouched as if they were made of the hardest steel. Even if the mage burned it with flames, it didn't react at all.

At the same time, the army of the undead began to slowly approach.

At this moment, the fire elemental creatures have been depleted. And the army of water elementals summoned by Rhodes also began to be powerless in front of the undead army. The cold they emit may be enough to freeze a living person to the ground. But the cold aura that whistled by, almost condensed blood, meant nothing to the undead legion. The Phantommon roared and scurried across the ground, knocking the skeleton soldiers to the ground, smashing them to pieces with its massive claws. But soon they will be surrounded by other undead creatures that randomly swarm in, and then fall to the ground bruised by swords, spears, and spears. Wailing and dying. Standing at the top of the tower and looking down, you can see that the darkness is slowly swallowing the silvery snow, both from the sky and the earth.

"Mr. Rod, it's almost!"

Li Jie clenched her fists, stood beside Rod, looked at the approaching undead army in front of her, and asked uneasily. Rod did not answer immediately, instead, he looked at Bennie who was standing beside him again.

"How? Captain Beni? ”

“………… Still didn't show up. Your Lordship. ”

"That skeleton is really cautious."

Hearing Beni's report, Rod couldn't help but snort coldly, but he also knew that his complaint didn't make much sense, and Collund himself was a cautious and cautious person. Perhaps it was the army of water elementals he had summoned earlier that scared him, and made the lich, who had no access to information, start to be cautious. So far it hasn't appeared. But Rod wasn't left helpless. Since it doesn't want to come out, then Rod will find a way to lure it out. The undead are still in the testing phase, and they are still using the old methods to send low-level troops such as ghouls and bone griffins to test their strength and hole cards.

It's like a game of cards, where both sides have already dealt their cards. Swing and then ——— turn over the deck.

So. Let me start first. This is the first card, do you follow? Mr. Lich?

Thinking of this, Rod reached out and gently stroked the ring on the middle finger of his right hand, which was as white as jade. At the same time, a system prompt immediately appeared in front of Rod.

【Activate the Holy Spear】

"Drink!!"

Frederick swung his sword again, slashing away a ghoul who was trying to climb the wall from the cable. Serena wasted no time in unleashing the Ice Blade behind him, and the whistling Ice Blade flew in the direction of the cable, and in the blink of an eye, a dozen ghouls fell to the ground, and then there was no shadow. The rest was picked up by several other soldiers in charge of the other side. However, this did not relieve their stress.

"Huh...... Huh............ Damn it. “

Frederick clenched his sword. Looking ahead, he could see the cold skeletal griffons launching near-suicidal attacks on his allies in the sky, and the nature of the fantasy manta fish's lack of melee combat at this time finally came to the fore. Perhaps in the battle with the Fire Raven, they can still rely on elemental restraint to take advantage of a little bit. But by their very nature, they are still not good at fighting, and the sky that was originally covered in silver is gradually being swallowed up by darkness. And on the ground, the striking academy that shone in the moonlight was also covered by large expanses of pitch-black undead creatures. Frederick could see groups of ghouls surrounding the hulky monster like bugs, creeping up its legs from time to time, to its shoulders, and then crawling along the cables of the crossbow bolts towards the walls. And the monster didn't stop moving, on the contrary, they continued to move slowly. Although it took several times longer for a skeleton troll to walk every time he lifted his legs, Frederick measured the distance between the other party and himself, and knew that it would only be a matter of minutes before he had intimate contact with the other party.

What to do?

Frederick was not without battle, and unlike the bragging boys who boasted all day long but could not even hunt in the nearby mountains, he once led his soldiers in the mountains and forests to deal with bandits. But now, he felt more tired and worried than ever, and that exhaustion was not physical, but more mental. This feeling is even stronger when you look at each other as if an endless number of enemies are coming towards you, and they are not afraid of hardship and danger, and they are not afraid of death, and no matter how many enemies you kill, it will have no meaning or impact on them.

If it is said that in the face of humans, this young knight probably has some ideas, but in the face of these undead creatures that are completely different from them, even Frederick and Serena feel that the future is bleak, they seem to be swept into a black rage, and they can only resist with the instinct of despair, but this resistance only brings them temporary stability in front of them, and in the end, they will be completely destroyed.

Thinking of this, Frederick couldn't help but admire Rode, he couldn't imagine what it would be like if he faced such an attack alone, but it was certain that if it was himself, I am afraid that this fortress would have been lost a long time ago. But now, what can they do?

Isn't that lord planning to go out to fight the Angel Legion?

And at this time, the corner of Frederick's eyes suddenly swept an afterglow, he turned his head curiously to look, and then froze there.

I saw that in front of Frederick's eyes, a crystal statue of a girl holding a spear high in the mountains in the distance was exuding a white and flawless brilliance at the moment, its light was getting stronger and stronger, in Frederick's eyes, you could see the white and dazzling light gradually increasing from the body of the statue, and the most reluctantly almost enveloped the statue of the girl itself in this divine and bright light. The young knight turned his head, and soon he saw the same sight on the other side.

What's going on?

Just as Frederick was wondering, he heard a deafening roar erupt suddenly.

Then, the dazzling brilliance soared into the sky.
