"Escape? I, we ......"

Before Atria could finish his sentence, he was hurriedly interrupted by Diggle again, "Are you really a fool?" He pointed to the vast black shadows that were slowly pouring out of the horizon at dusk.

The black shadow gradually became continuous from the linear city, spreading to the ground at a rapid speed, sweeping in, "Or do you think you can deal with them?" Diggle almost grabbed Atria by the collar and yelled.

He was too busy running for his life to deal with the idiot Atria.

The physical strength of the two of them had long since been exhausted after successive battles, and Atria even gasped for breath as he ran, he looked at the far north with some hesitation, and then stared to the south, "But...... But behind us, there are those civilians. ”

"Who cares if they die?" Digger said without looking back, very simply.

"Your family is there too, you're from Harrenhal, you're a hero there!"

Diggle paused suddenly, he stopped, then took two steps forward and turned over on his horse, "I don't have any family. He said, and then calmly looked at Atria below, "If you don't leave, I'll take care of you if you don't leave." ”

Atria didn't hesitate much, whether it was to flee for his life or stay to resist, at least a war horse had to cooperate, although the horse in front of him was not his original, but it looked good.

He skillfully rolled onto his horse's back and pulled out a long sword stuck in the dirt beside him.

The sharp long sword more than a palm wide shimmered in the cold light of the setting sun, like a swan song before death, and like a cheer at the time of the coming of the great war.

Diggle ignored him, mounted his horse as if he had returned to his own home, and he frantically urged his horse to run south with a skillful sweep of smoke.

Warhorses were not targeted by ghouls during the battle. It can be said that most of their physical strength has been preserved, and during the few hours of fierce battles between knights and ghouls, they have been wandering around, and these horses, which often go to battle, are also big-hearted, and there is no tendency to be frightened at all.

Perhaps in their eyes, those faces are hideously pale. Ghouls with brains in their heads, or large holes in their chests and abdomen, or even bones piercing out of their bones, don't look scary at all, just some strange humans.

It is not as natural as humans have about this terrible corpse that has come back from the dead.

At this time, under the desperate urging of Diggle who did not care about horsepower at all, they could be said to have stepped out of their hooves and soared.

In a short time, the large group of ghouls coming from the rear of the battlefield was pulled away for a long distance, and those ghouls did not kill the war horses first in the battle, which was a very serious mistake.

But there is no way to do it, the level of IQ of ghouls is not high. Maybe they don't have intelligence at all, it's better for the aliens to manipulate them at close range, but once they are far away, they will be reduced to corpses that rely on instinct to act, and there is no strategy or tactics at all.

The remaining knights on the plain immediately mounted their horses and galloped, and the small group of enemies opposite, they might also raise their courage on their horses, after all, the charge of cavalry almost meant invincibility.

But in the face of black pressure, a flood of ghouls poured in. No one dared to stay, or try.

Because facing so many ghouls. Is it the cavalry charging the ghouls, or the ghouls drowning the cavalry.

Perhaps only tens of thousands of knights charging through so many ghouls could gouge through so many ghouls, or else they would add their power to the ghouls for nothing.

I'm afraid that there are not so many knights who have come from afar when they are full, not to mention that most of the knights who are killed and injured now and can still run on horseback are probably only a few thousand.

No one who has ever really confronted the frenzy of ghouls will never be able to comprehend the pressure. Faced with such an almost infinite number of creatures, anyone would lose their courage.

Not to mention that they are humanoid ghouls, even ants can cover the earth enough for them to devour everything in their path.

Quality can determine the height of combat effectiveness, and quantity can also determine everything. The premise is that there are enough numbers, not dozens or hundreds of petty fights, but the number that spreads over the entire continent, the entire planet, or even several planets.

So they chose to run away, and any sane person would do it, except for guys like Atria.

In the face of an enemy, the knights may have the courage to fight to the death or die together, but when they see the ghouls who are surrounded on all sides, they are no longer called to die together, but to die in vain.

No one wanted to die like this, so even if the south they retreated to was an unstoppable town, Herrens chose to do so.

If you stay, you will die in vain, it is better to delay time with a few towns, and then launch a counterattack again.

There is hope in life, but once you die, there is no use.

If the valley of Arryn and the valley of the Three Forks near the north don't stop the ghouls, I'm afraid that the riverlands and Dorne further south won't have time to react at all, and even if they do, it's too late, the ghouls have gathered the corpses of humans in the southern city, and there is nothing on this continent that can stop them.

The bitter lessons of humanity thousands of years ago are clearly documented, and Herens would not have made such a mistake.

It's just uncertain how long these scattered villages with less than 100 people in the vicinity can delay the ghouls......

Perhaps there was something better than Diggle at last, and Atria was even more skilled in riding than Diggle, a seasoned knight, and in a short time he caught up with Diger.

Then, on the way to escape, he looked back at the surging ghouls from time to time.

There are ghouls on the left and right, and these scattered fleeing knights are like the fillings in the sandwich biscuits, as long as one is not careful, they will be squeezed and left here forever, becoming a member of the biscuits, and becoming one, making a contribution to the power of the ghouls.

The two of them were too busy to speak, but Atria looked back from time to time, which still made Diggle feel upset, as if he had made some mistake.

Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Can you stop tossing and turning, isn't it good to concentrate on running for your life." ”

"We are no match for them, what should we do." Atria asked solemnly, "I mean after we fled back to the south. These guys don't stop there. ”

"That's not something you should think about." Diggle was too busy to take care of himself, glared at Atria, whose riding skills were not as good as Atria's, and said in a bit of a panic, "But if we stay, I can guarantee that you won't even have a chance to think about it again." ”

Atria pouted. He may be a little naïve, but he is not a fool, and he learns quickly, at least after this war, he can be regarded as a qualified old knight.

But he hadn't gone far before Diggle suddenly said, "Maybe we're going to have a big fight here." ”

"Here?" Atria was a little surprised, "Although I admire you for having more courage than me, it is really unwise to stay here. It's all about going to die, we're going to get out of here. ”

Diggle was a little mad by Atria's answer, he would have beaten him up if he could, but there was really no time now, "We can't get out." He said coldly.

Atria followed his gaze and saw that the ghouls coming directly in front of them were extremely fast, far faster than the other three.

The ghouls come from all sides. Since you want to avoid the knights' scouts and not arouse their vigilance, you naturally need to stay away. When surrounding them, there will also be a large gap in the middle.

The fast knights had already slipped out of the gaps, and might still be chased by a large group of ghouls carved out by the ghouls, but it was much better than staying here as pies.

However, because Atria and Diger belonged to the first echelon when they fought, they rushed to the front, and they naturally retreated more slowly. It was already too late, and the ghouls had narrowed the encirclement, and the gap for them to escape was greatly reduced.

And what made them even more ugly was that the ghouls they were facing in front of them, that is, the group of ghouls who had copied their back path, did not seem to be like the other ghouls.

The ghouls who run at the front are tall. Far taller than normal humans, they even have disgusting hairs on their bodies, and the long hairs cover them all over their bodies, making them look like monsters.

Although the ghouls were originally monsters, they were also human beings, transformed from humans, and these guys didn't look like humans, and Diggle even saw that some of the heads were still intact, not squeezed to form ellipsoids, or the corpses that exposed most of their brains and brains, and had the face of a wolf growing.

Is this a wolf's carcass? Could it be that the wolves outside the Great Wall are not the same as the wolves in the north, Diggle doesn't understand.

But these guys don't look easy to mess with, their tall stature is almost comparable to that of a knight on a war horse, they are afraid that they can grab the knight's chest and abdomen as soon as they reach out, although some of them seem to be very thin, and the knight charge is not afraid of these fragile flesh and blood, but at this moment it is not just them.

There are endless ghouls behind them, and there are quite a few of them, and if they are entangled, they will probably be the straw that will break the camel's back.

And they were surrounded by many even larger four-limbed monsters, which Diggle swore he had never heard of in his life, they looked like hearts with veins growing on the outside, and they were extremely ugly, with whip-like things flicking around their bodies and tails.

But just by looking at how sharp these whips are to cut through trees, you know they don't look like they're good.

The four-limbed monster was unusually tall, almost like a legendary giant outside the fortress, a head taller than a knight sitting on horseback, and the width and length could only be achieved by several knights combined.

Gods above, what kind of terrible creature is this, Diggle groaned in his heart.

They ran the fastest, rushing to the front, and the thick snow that had accumulated on the ground was lifted in both directions like a tidal wave, and the snowflakes that fell in the sky even formed small vortices because of their air currents.

With Diggle's experience, he knew that these guys would definitely intercept the two of them before they escaped, as long as they were entangled by a monster, they wouldn't have to leave, the monsters behind would swarm, and then the army of ghouls would drown them with no scum left.

Unless...... Forced a breakthrough to the side.

"We can't get out like this." Without waiting for Atria to ask any more idiotic questions, Diggle said directly, he suddenly calmed down at this time, his breath was steady and calm, "Believe me, my experience tells me that their speed is just right to intercept us, and the consequences can be imagined, so I don't need to say it." ”

"What should we do?" Glancing at the ghoul monsters coming straight for them, Atria asked.

"Believe me?" Instead of answering, Diggle asked rhetorically.

But when it came, Atria looked at him as if he was an idiot, "Were you lying to me just now?" ”

Diggle suppressed his anger and said calmly, "That's good, let's break through to the side and force our way out." ”

"When you see that tree, it's the weakest place in the encirclement, rush out, don't stop, even if any of us fall off the horse, don't stop, just rush out desperately."

"Is it possible?" Atria asked with some hesitation as he looked at the dense ghouls that were also covered in the direction of the tree.

"No one is an idiot." Digger replied lightly this time, "And...... We are knights, and now we are sitting on horseback. ”

As Diggle said, none of the remaining knights were idiots, there were about a thousand knights left who did not escape from the encirclement of the ghouls, and the slowest runners had been chased and devoured by the ghouls in the rear, and the remaining knights still did not give up hope.

Most of them were veterans among the knights, and naturally they also saw the terrifying speed of the enemy in front of them, and they chose to force a breakthrough in the direction of the position known to Diggle almost at the same time, of course, there were also those who broke through to the other side, and the rest of the people also changed direction under the leadership of most of them and rushed to these two breakthrough points.

With a steady stream of knightly power, it will naturally become easier to break through.

However, although it is said to be the weakest place, it is still full of a large number of ghouls, and they are all those skeleton ghouls who are lighter and faster runners, they don't have that rotting heavy fat, so they naturally stand out from the army of ghouls easily, scatter to both sides at a very fast speed, and then slowly plug the gap left by the ghouls.

At this time, there was a large number of skeleton ghouls, layered on top of each other, and it seemed that they were also more than ten meters long and black, and the number was almost a thousand.

But fortunately, although the speed and attack of these skeletons are still dangerous, their defense is much worse, and almost a frontal impact of the war horse can knock their skeleton apart.

Faced with the moment of life and death, no one made any reservations, Digger and Atria stabbed the spurs, and rushed towards the group of ghouls with a few knights next to them, and the speed of the war horse immediately soared out again under the pain, and crashed into the swarming ghouls with the whistling wind.

Getting closer and closer, closer and closer, Atria could even clearly see the tiny cracks on the surface of those skeletons, and smell the disgusting smell full of decay, and at the moment when the two were about to collide, Atria suddenly roared wildly.

"Victory is ours!" He roared like a trapped beast. (To be continued.) )
