Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 503 The Skeleton Lord Ice Cave Worm
"Crown, fangs, dragon horns, yo ho, it seems that this crown is the most suitable for you now—"

His long and pointed fingers flicked restlessly. Due to the restraint of the iron chain, he couldn't even raise his arms, so he could only express his emotions in this way.

"Ah, I can't wait, I really want to see this scene, although you are not awakened in hatred, it doesn't matter, come on, let me see, let me see you can do that step -"

The body made of thousands of white bones shines with a milky white luster, and the tall half-length skeleton looks down on the city below, and the faint blue flames dance in its skull.

Smallness is relative, and the identities of hunter and prey are interchangeable.The ghost knight who was chasing the girls with a lance was an absolute hunter, but at this moment——

They are as small as ants, and they can only serve as teeth for that huge skeleton!

The jerk lances pointed forward blankly, and the sense of mission made them still drive the undead bone horse to charge forward.The girl who fell on the ground was like fish on a chopping board, it was only a short distance away from killing her completely.

But this distance, they will never be able to cross.

The palms that slammed down seemed to be falling meteorites. They raised their shields and raised their spears, but the only response to them was the sound of breaking, from weapons to armor, and then to themselves——

Half of the Necromancer knights died directly under the palm of this huge half-body skeleton. Whether it was the armor he was wearing or his own body, they were all reduced to dust under this palm.

The rest of the Necromancer Knights were also sent flying by the aftermath of this palm.The fire of the soul swayed violently, the soul made them feel afraid, they wanted to escape, but the huge head was already lowered, the empty eye sockets looked directly at them, the huge mouth opened slowly, and a stream of fire shot out from it. The black smoke engulfed them in it.

Alina's whole body was stiff, and the moment the skeleton was lowered, she felt that the skeleton glanced at her lightly.Just that one glance made her breathing almost stagnate.

What's this?Is this what Caroline summoned?

But how did she do it?

She couldn't see the girl sitting tall on top of the huge skull, her short silver-white hair was fluttering in the wind at the moment, and her red eyes indifferently swept across the ghost knights who had been completely destroyed by the black smoke, and then looked down. Looking at the palm of his white left hand, he slowly made a fist.

"Do you like it? The sleeping skeleton lord, the overlord of the age of the gods, I am afraid that the skeletons today have not seen what their king should look like?"

The voice spoke in her ear with interest, as if putting its arms around her shoulders.Licking her earlobe.

"You can create something like this even without me, but I helped you a little bit earlier, a little bit earlier - this is your direction, you have to remember, only by mastering such power, You can do what you want to do."

THIS IS POWER -

As long as I have this kind of power, I no longer have to run away, and I don't have to be protected all the time...

The bone fork in her right hand tapped lightly on the top of the skull. With two clear sounds of "Duo Duo", the half-length skeleton slowly turned its body, and looked at the skeleton army that had just arrived behind it with empty pupils. .

She frowned suddenly, keenly aware that there seemed to be something trying to disturb the skeleton under her.The fire of soul suddenly lit up in the hollow eye sockets of the huge skeleton. While the flames were burning, there was a sudden scream from the skeleton corps below, and then a figure ran out crazily. do.

The huge skeleton looked down at the skeleton corps, then raised its palm mercilessly, and slowly lowered it.The moment it fell, black mist sprayed out from the white jade-like palm, and the skeletons who were in a hurry to escape suddenly lost their strength, their legs weakened and fell to the ground, allowing the giant palm to hit their heads.

The dust settled.

There was silence all around.

She sat on top of the skull, looking up at the sky.

Dark clouds covered the blue sky, and her scarlet eyes seemed to want to see through the gray and white.

It was only after a few minutes that she remembered that she should find the figure who had been protecting her.

She ordered the skeleton to lower the height and jumped off the skeleton herself.Without much searching, he found the girl's body lying on the ground with her left arm stretched forward, as if trying to hold her.

She knelt down on the ground, hugged the body of the girl who didn't know when she fainted, lowered her head and asked softly:
"Sister Alina, have you seen that Caroline has protected you."

The corners of her mouth curled up, her voice was a little hoarse, but still gentle.

The redness in her eyes gradually receded, and when the original brown color returned to her eyes, she couldn't hold on any longer, she tilted her head, leaned against Elena's body, and fell asleep.

Behind her, the gigantic skeleton suddenly shattered, and then turned into a rain of bones, scattered on the ground.

"My lord, shall we go in?"

The adjutant looked ahead hesitantly, and asked boldly.

Claude Atley reached out and caressed his chest. Although he had been in northern Xinjiang for so long, he had never seen such a skeleton——

What is that?Frost giants aren't that big, are they?
Even though the huge figure had disappeared from sight, he still hadn't recovered from the horror brought about by that giant figure.

If the undead are such monsters, do they still have a way to fight?Isn't it possible to trample dozens of soldiers to death with one foot?

"Go into the city." He let out a long breath and ordered.

Facts have proved that the request for help from the young lord was not fabricated, and the undead had indeed penetrated deep into their hinterland.The Snowy Owl Legion turned to the rear on the day they sheltered the scout, and had already fought three small-scale undead legions along the way.

The White Flower Stronghold was empty, and it seemed that his classmate Atsk had already retreated—he didn't think that Atsk would be wiped out here by the undead.And the same as the legion encountered on the road, the undead in the White Flower Stronghold are just a small group of legions.

After confirming the disappearance of the giant skeletons, the troops of the Snowy Owl Legion mustered up courage and rushed into the city vigilantly, but they did not find the skeleton regiment that had just been defeated by them and retreated.

All I saw was a pile of bones, piled up into a small castle.

Two girls lay in it, cuddling each other and sleeping.

--------

The nightmare horse was galloping on the snowy field. Cyril sat on the horse's back and ate two mouthfuls of dry food casually, then turned over the map, and traced the traces drawn on it with his fingers, groping from north to south.

In order to prevent Siliki's army from being besieged by the follow-up undead army, he fled north with a group of undead knights who were chasing him, and threw them off with the excellent speed and endless endurance of the nightmare horse.

He originally planned to return directly. With Atsk's style and the situation of the Siliki Army after the war, Atsk would never let the Siliki Army face the follow-up undead army, but would choose to retreat, or even give up the hard work to build frontline stronghold.

They need to preserve their vitality. In contrast, what can they do if they give up some of what they already have?
But when Cyril started to turn back to the south, he found that the number of undead he encountered along the way was actually increasing, forcing him to keep detours.

"What are the people of Lovisa and Alderney doing? Where are the guard posts along the way? How did so many undead come in?"

He was full of doubts. A considerable number of these undead were not the kind of cannon fodder skeletons temporarily summoned by the necromancer, but the backbone of the undead—he even saw an entire army of iron-clad zombies, which was already considered Heavy Armored Legion!
Have Lovisa and Alderney fallen?No, it's impossible. Even if the undead gather all the liches together, it's impossible to capture the two cities silently without the Tower of the North Wind noticing.

So these undead are mixed in?
Being able to bypass the sights of so many sentries and scouts, and also just in time for the Tower of the North Wind to mobilize troops on a large scale, is this a "Hemer's Travel Suit" with unlimited time in hand?

Obviously not possible.And similarly, there is no magic that can conceal the whereabouts of the army on a large scale, unless the weather is used, but that can't bypass the two points mentioned earlier.

So they got into northern Xinjiang by other means?

The map in his hand marked the information that the scouts had done back then. Cyril's eyes swept across the frontline garrison points, and when they landed on the Lupuja Plain, they suddenly stopped.

On the west side of the Lupuja Plain, an "abnormal uplift" is marked.

This piece of information came from Bivis, and now Bivis has been specially assigned as the captain of the Flying Eagle Scout Team, asking for help from the north.But due to the situation on the way to the north, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck at this time...

And this place is abnormally raised, and everyone thought it was extremely strange at the beginning.It's just that when they were trying to collect information from more scouts, the undead had already appeared first.

"Next to the abnormal bulge is... the deep snow gorge?"

His fingers slowly moved towards the deep snow gorge next to this marker point, a long road from north to south, almost passing through the entire Lupuja Plain.

"The deep snow gorge is a rift valley. It is rumored that the ice god Eskiel lost to Danya in a bet, and angrily split the ground with his palm vertically, leaving traces..."

He remembered Elina's description, which came from the records of the people in northern Xinjiang about the Deep Snow Gorge.For humans, due to its unacceptable coldness, it is almost a forbidden place.

But even the undead can't maintain their existence in such a low temperature.Both low temperature and high temperature can reduce the sensitivity of the undead, and they can easily be wiped out in the Rift Valley.

Unless...they chose an underground path like walking in a rift valley?

Cyril suddenly understood how the undead got into the northern border of La Rochelle - they chose an underground path, and this path was dug out by themselves!
The Maitland Mountains are a natural barrier, blocking La Rochelle and the extreme northern plain where the undead are.Since the temperature of the extreme northern ice sheet is lower than that of northern Xinjiang, human beings know little about the things there, only that there are a large number of "dark creatures" there, which are the base camp of the undead.

The undead rely on the abandoned dungeons hidden under the ice sheet to build their weapons and equipment to arm themselves.

In the exploration of later generations, human beings learned that there is a giant creature under the extreme arctic ice sheet. It is not too aggressive, good at and likes to dig and devour soil, and is extremely dependent on the cold environment.Where it passes through will leave a wide passage. These passages are said to be the reason for the prosperity of the underground city in a certain era of civilization.

This creature is named: ice cave worm.

If the undead rely on the ice cave worms to maintain the environment needed by the ice cave worms through the deep snow gorge, dig a passage all the way to the middle of the northern border, and transport their troops from there, then everything makes sense.

The undead entered the northern border from the ground, and the uplift was the trace left by the temporary rise of the ice cave worm...

"From west to east, from south to north, the exit of the passage should be in the northwest direction of the White Flower Stronghold. The date when the uplifted hill appeared was on October [-]th, and the construction of this passage has started at least in early October. If the speed is unknown, it may be earlier."

"The entrance of the passage should be at the border. These undead were originally the troops who attacked Lovisa and Alderney. Since they were unable to attack for a long time, they chose to sneak in..."

He caressed the nightmare horse's neck, the situation before him was very clear now, and how to solve it seems to have already begun——

Find the exit of the channel and fill in the exit.

This is like a question like "How many steps does it take to put an elephant in the refrigerator", it is three steps, it is very simple, but in practice...

Will there be undead resident at the entrance of the passage?How many people should be mobilized to suppress?How to fill a cave that can transport so many undead? How many high-level earth mages are needed?
These are definitely not things that the Siliki Army can accomplish.They can't deal with the undead resident in the passage, and they can't block the passage—they don't even have a few mages.

But even if Cyril brings this important information to the Tower of the North Wind, or to the fronts where the legions are stationed, I am afraid that not many people will agree with him-scholars discovered the ice cave worm in three days. Years later, today's La Rochelle people know nothing about this creature.

What's more, with the posture of the North Wind Tower's scheduling, I am afraid that the next step is to move forward in a big way, and it is even more impossible to abandon the original plan because of an uncertain news...

The galloping pace of the Nightmare Horse suddenly slowed down, and then it snorted twice forcefully.Cyril immediately came back to his senses.Listening to the wind did not bring him any news. He was wondering why the nightmare horse was acting strangely. When he raised his eyes, he saw faint figures moving forward on the snow field a hundred meters away.

He couldn't hear any voices from those figures, and if it wasn't for the sunlight passing through, he might not even be able to see their existence at a glance.

Cyril immediately grasped the sword at his waist, with a gloomy expression—others might think it was some kind of mirage, after all, those marching figures didn't even leave any footprints.

But he was extremely clear that these were definitely not refracted projections.

They are also undead.

They are the Ghost Legion.

　That's why Caroline in the game can become Twilight Shadow.

　　Well done, Cyril, well done!

　　The idea of ​​the ice cave worm is a bit similar to the scene in Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit, where the big worm that came out of the mountain dug a tunnel.

　　In the previous article, the chariot undead in the battle of Cyril, and Howell the blood ax also has a foreshadowing
