king of the castle

Chapter 10

The voice still echoed in Vader's ears, and his legs felt like being torn apart. 【】The panic-stricken Vader quickly lowered his head, only to find that the flesh and blood on his legs was rapidly peeling off from the bones, so eye-catching on the pale white bones dripping with blood.

"Flesh and flesh extraction" is the black knight's innate magic, which can completely remove the flesh and blood of a living person from the skeleton, making the target a skeleton obeying the command of the black knight.Lear is also very confident in the strength of his subordinates, so he uses this talent magic that can only be used once a day on Vader.If Lear felt that his subordinates were not sure of defeating the opponent, it would directly cast flesh and blood on Roger.

In just one turn, the flesh and blood below Vader's waist had completely disappeared.The massive blood loss had already made Vader nearly unconscious, but the severe pain allowed him to maintain a sliver of sanity.The traitor turned his head back to the black knight with difficulty, and hissed with the last of his strength and asked, "Why... what?"

"I keep my promise and let you live." Lear's voice was emotionless: "It's just to live as an undead creature..."

However, Vader could no longer hear Lear's words. At this time, he had completely turned into a skeleton. Under the command of the black knight, he walked clumsily into other undead creatures, completely becoming cannon fodder for the black knight's subordinates.

Seeing this scene, Roger couldn't help thinking how terrible it would be if this happened to him.This thought made Roger shudder. In order not to give the opponent another chance to cast a spell, he quickly ordered the spear militia to attack the undead creatures.

After receiving Roger's order, the spear militia immediately launched an attack.The spear militiamen created by these castle hubs only knew to obey Roger's orders. Although there were more undead creatures than them, the spear militiamen did not hesitate at all, and rushed straight up with their spears.

After seeing the power of the spear militiamen, Roger found an opportunity to use all the absorbed soul power to summon his subordinates during the day, and now the number of spear militiamen has exceeded 20.

Although the more than 20 spear militiamen are not many, they also have a courageous momentum when they charge, as if nothing can stop them from attacking.

However, the undead creatures that the spear militiamen faced were also enemies that did not fear. They just instinctively obeyed the order of the black knight and began to form a defensive formation to prepare for the enemy's attack.The two skeleton archers also drew their short bows and shot a sharp arrow at the charging spear militiamen.

At such a short distance, the skeleton archer can be said to be able to shoot a hundred shots, and all the sharp arrows shot hit the target.Fortunately, the shortbow's lethality was limited, and the militiamen with long spears who were shot were only injured and did not suffer fatal blows.A little damage couldn't stop the spear militia from attacking. They charged forward silently, and soon collided with the undead creatures.

The spear stabbed the skeleton warriors and zombies heavily, immediately causing a huge gap in the untidy formation of the undead creatures.

Skeleton warriors are okay against ordinary people, but they are completely vulnerable to spear militiamen.Many skeleton warriors had their heads pierced by spears, and the power of their souls was directly absorbed by Roger.There were also some skeleton warriors whose bones were broken, and they lay staggered on the ground. Although they could barely move, they had completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Even a skeleton archer had his right arm broken by spear militiamen because he stood too far forward.Although for undead creatures, such injuries are nothing at all, as long as they find a suitable arm bone and put it on.But at least the skeleton archer with a broken arm can no longer continue to shoot arrows, so he can only temporarily transfer to a skeleton warrior for melee combat.

Of the undead creatures standing in the front row, only the tougher zombies persisted.These undead creatures have solid bodies, and although a few were pierced by spears, they did not lose their fighting power like the skeleton warriors.

Although the undead creatures lost a lot under the charge of the spear militia, they still have a numerical advantage after all.The zombies and the skeleton warriors in the back row quickly swarmed up and started a close-range melee with the spear militia.

Seeing that so many men fell under the enemy's attack, the soul fire in Lear's eyes kept flickering.It turned out that it thought that with so many subordinates, it would be an easy task to destroy the human beings in front of it.However, the strength of the spear militia was far beyond the expectation of the black knight, so it began to consider whether it should use other means to eliminate these humans.

At this time, the two sides of the battle have become one.Under such circumstances, Roger could no longer let the spear militiamen charge again, and could only rely on their own strength to fight head-to-head with the undead creatures.

In fact, in terms of individual strength, spear militiamen are slightly stronger than undead creatures.But the undead creatures have an advantage in number, so the two sides are evenly matched, and it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Under the full attack of the spear militiamen, more undead creatures fell to the ground, and the burning soul fire in their eyes also dimmed.However, as the battle continued, Roger gradually began to suffer casualties.

Although the spear militia was created by the castle hub, they are not immortal.If they receive more damage than they can bear, they will lose all their mobility and look like they are dead to others.

The first "heroically killed" were the spear militiamen who were shot by the skeleton archers. After being injured, their actions were not as agile as their companions, and they naturally became the first victims.

Watching the militiamen with spears fall one by one, the corners of Roger's eyes were also twitching.Although Roger knew that the Lancer Militia was just the creation of Castle Hub, subconsciously he still regarded them as real human beings.Seeing so many loyal soldiers fall one after another, Roger, who is not hard-hearted, can't help but feel a little sad.

Fortunately, the spear militia also killed many undead creatures, allowing Roger to absorb a lot of soul power.Generally speaking, the gains from this battle are greater than the losses, and this is what comforts Roger somewhat.

Different from Roger's calm state of mind, Lear at this time could no longer continue to watch the battle with emotion.As an experienced fighter, it has already come out. If the battle situation continues like this, it is very likely that he will not be able to complete the task ordered by the leader.

Thinking of this, the fire of soul in the black knight's eyes suddenly flashed, and he issued a series of orders to his subordinates in a low voice.

First of all, the zombies and skeleton warriors suddenly attacked more crazily than before, as if they had a tacit understanding.Just when they attracted the attention of Roger and others, the two bone dogs that had been hiding in the corner suddenly jumped up, went around the battlefield and rushed directly at Roger.

"Protect the master!" Mike, who had been guarding Roger, was the first to notice the movement of the bone dog, shouting and waving a wooden stick to meet him.

As an experienced hunter, Mike's movements are considered agile.He swung the wooden stick in his hand heavily, and smashed one of his bone dogs into a pile of broken bones.However, the other bone dog took the opportunity to bypass Mike and pounce on Roger who was not far behind him.

Roger also experienced several battles after coming to the world of Turonzo. How could he be successfully attacked by a bone dog?He just chopped off the head of the bone dog with a single sword, and then crushed the dog's head that fell to the ground with one foot.

However, no one thought that all this was a conspiracy arranged by Lear in advance.Just when everyone thought the danger was over, the only remaining skeleton archer suddenly drew his bow and set an arrow, aiming at Roger's left chest and shooting an arrow.

Roger just crushed the dog's head, and didn't even notice that a sharp arrow was shooting at him.Although Mike heard the sound of the bowstring vibrating, he was too far away from Roger and it was too late to rescue him. Roger's life, who was not wearing any armor, was at stake.

At this moment, a person suddenly rushed up and knocked Roger hard, allowing him to escape the bad luck of being pierced by a sharp arrow through his chest.However, this man saved Roger, but he couldn't dodge the sharp arrow that was shot.Only a soft "poof" sound was heard, and the sharp arrow that should have taken Roger's life had already shot the man's chest.
