Alien Knights

Chapter 727: Blood and iron (2)

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the earth, the people of West City, who were still sleeping, were awakened by the shaking of the earth and the low noise.

People pushed open the doors and walked to the streets, amidst anxiety and panic, they cast their sights on the east of the city.

There, dark clouds covered the entire sky, gradually separating the light from above the clouds.

The sharp-eyed person climbed onto the roof of his house and looked into the distance. He was soon frightened by the distant scene and fell to the ground and shouted.

"That's not a dark cloud, it's a dead spirit!"

Tens of thousands of dead birds and bats gathered together and flew over Twilight City, like a huge black tornado, circling and surrounding endlessly. The scene was as terrible as the end of the world.

The city's towers sounded the alarm bell, which was the signal to order everyone to enter the house and hide.

As the people on the street fled around, a black whirlwind made of dead birds suddenly swooped down the street in the city, dragging several people who could not evade into the air.

The blood fell to the ground like rain, and the screams made people shudder.

In just a few seconds, the remains of the victim were gnawed away, and the only thing that was thrown back on the street was a dense bone.

The long horn sounded from the city, and teams of elven priests stepped onto the top of the city tower.

One after another, light blue water **** flew out from the windows of the tower and rose to the high altitude of the city.

As the water ball rose to the highest point, fireballs followed closely, bursting the water ball and turning it into thick fog, covering a small half of the city.

The dead birds entered the mist, as if they had encountered poisonous mosquitoes, they fell from the sky one after another, falling all over the street.

Holding his binoculars, Cumberland stood on the wall of the eastern defense line, looking at everything in the city, and said to his adjutant: "Let the city defenders stop the attack. The vaccine stock solution is very precious, even a drop can't be wasted."

After the adjutant used the honeycomb on the keel armor to convey the order, he said to Cumberland: "My lord, the flying necromancer has arrived, which means that the necromancer's ground corpse group will not be too far away."

Cumberland nodded and said, "Raise the alert level and let the thundering beast reach the designated combat location."

one hour later.

A thick black shadow appeared on the eastern horizon of Twilight West City.

These shadows are getting bigger and thicker.

When the shadow slowly approached, everyone could see clearly that the mountains and plains were all dead.

Although humans, livestock, and beasts are covered with parasites, these dead spirits can barely see what they are.

There are also some strange undead. They use the limbs of parasites as the skeleton of the structure, and put all kinds of stumps and flesh and blood together on their bodies. From a distance, they look like a group of monsters returning from hell. .

The three thousand knights of the Muxi Knights, riding heterogeneous war horses, lined up in a neat line, stood at the forefront of the defensive needle and thread.

Behind them, there is a temporary formation of nine hundred sacred troops and ten thousand soldiers from the Acropolis and Silver Ring City.

Afterwards, there is a reserve army composed of militiamen and catechumens, and a support army composed of beasts.

This is already all the forces that can be dispatched on the Eastern Defense Line of Twilight City.

Cumberland clearly understands that today's battle is the key to boosting morale and stabilizing the line of defense. It is related to the success or failure of the entire battle.

The adjutant used Hawkeye's ability to scan the battlefield and whispered to Cumberland: "My lord, the previous intelligence said that there are 300,000 dead souls. It seems that this number is still underestimated."

Cumberland sighed infrequently: "At this time, there is not much difference in the number of enemy troops with more than 10,000 and less than 10,000... What makes me more concerned is that there is something wrong with the situation on the other side."

"What's wrong?"

After hearing this, the adjutant looked back at the battlefield and looked at the overwhelming necromancer in the distance. He did detect something wrong, but he couldn't tell it for a while.

Cumberland gave the answer: "These dead spirits are too quiet."

The adjutant was taken aback: "Quiet?"

Cumberland: "In the previous battle, the undead were like a group of beasts with no intelligence and only knowing how to kill, but now, they discovered that we did not immediately initiate a charge. Don't you think it's weird?"

The adjutant reacted: "That said, it is indeed a bit..."

Cumberland recalled the visions a few days ago, the dragon **** was missing, the huge tower was rising, the heavens and the earth were abnormal, and the anxiety in his heart became greater and greater.

Just as he was thinking, the group of dead corpses moved.

The two necromantic forces composed of walking beasts and animals add up to about 50,000. They are separated from the left and right fronts of the corpse group, relying on their speed advantages, to round to the sides of the battlefield, and appear in the battlefield. The shape of the word clamped the strength of the Twilight West Forces.

Seeing this scene, the adjutant opened his eyes wide and fell into shock.

Cumberland frowned and murmured: "I guess it's correct, there is indeed someone who is controlling these dead spirits."

Facing the three necromantic armies forming horns, the adjutant was a little panicked: "My lord, should we retreat to the back of the city wall?"

Cumberland glared at the adjutant: "Idiot! After you see the comparison of arms and strength, speak again!"

"Retreating to the city wall means giving up our greatest advantage-the cavalry, and entering a meaningless seesaw battle with the enemy. At this time, the offense is the best defense... The order is passed down, and the whole army of the Knights is dispatched, and the goal is Necromancer forward on the left front!"

A few seconds later, the Twilight Knights blew the horn of marching.

Three thousand knights wearing keels and riding heterogeneous war horses launched an assault on the necromantic front army more than ten kilometers away at a speed like a gallop.

Facing the necromantic forces composed of wild beasts, the knights posed a triangular frontal formation. With their huge impact, a single charge completely penetrated the necromantic formation.

Looking at the beasts overgrown with parasites, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was hit in mid-air and scattered in front of the iron hooves of the horse. Cumberland turned his attention to the center of the group of dead corpses.

There was a lot of commotion among the corpses, and some of the undead left the large army and wanted to attack the cavalry.

But soon, the undead who left the center, like a hyena tied by a rein, were abruptly pulled back into the group of corpses.

Ignoring the knights who were repeatedly attacking the necromancers, the large forces of the necromancers began to march quickly toward the city wall.

Cumberland retracted the telescope: "No matter who is controlling these undead, this person has not commanded the army much, but at least he is not an idiot."

Cumberland turned his head to the adjutant: "Go ahead, all the Cavaliers, after dispersing the enemy forwards, must not love to fight. Take a rest and detour to the enemy's back line!"

Looking at the necromantic army invading like a tsunami in the distance, Cumberland once again ordered: "The center is ready to withstand the impact, and the thundering beasts are in place!"
