king of the castle

Chapter 100 Endless

"These humble human beings dare to challenge my majesty!" Highfield was furious uncharacteristically, and his hoarse roar spread far and far. 【】

The death lord in his rage forgot to suppress his anger, and the terrible coercion instantly spread throughout the camp of undead creatures.The undead creatures under Highfield were all terrified, and the soul fires in their eye sockets were shrunk to the smallest state, just like the flames of a strong wind, which might be extinguished at any time.Many weaker undead creatures couldn't bear such a great pressure, and the soul fire in their eye sockets was instantly extinguished, turning into a mess of wreckage.

After all, Highfield has wisdom that is not inferior to that of human beings. After venting, he immediately thought that the most important thing right now is to complete the orders of the leader.So the death lord quickly suppressed his anger and began to mobilize his troops, intending to continue the attack.It has decided to do this as soon as possible, so as not to impress the leader that it can.

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of undead creatures began to move slowly outside the castle. Their footsteps alone rolled across the plain like thunder. That terrifying aura put enormous pressure on Roger and the others.

"Come on, they are going to be serious." Roger on the city wall couldn't help cursing in a low voice, watching the actions of the undead creatures: "These undead creatures, son of a bitch, are really endless!"

While Roger was complaining, the tension in Killington Pass had grown.The news of the appearance of three skeleton Komodo beasts has spread here, making everyone believe that the undead creatures are going to attack the pass.Many civilians have packed up their belongings and fled to the hinterland of the kingdom. The soldiers are on standby every day, ready to guard against the attack of undead creatures.

At the same time, the news spread to the capital of the kingdom through the magic circle, which immediately attracted the attention of the Privy Council and the military department.With the possibility of undead creatures invading the hinterland of the kingdom, it was rare for the Privy Council and the military to not disrupt each other this time, and responded quickly to the matter.

The Privy Council began to mobilize a large amount of military supplies and food to be transported to Linton Pass in preparation for a defensive battle.The military department began to mobilize a large number of soldiers to the Lington pass to strengthen the defense there.Everyone is very clear in their hearts, if the army of undead invades the densely populated kingdom's hinterland, what a terrible disaster it will cause, even enough to shake the foundation of the kingdom.Therefore, from the king to the nobles and ministers, they all attached great importance to this matter, and the work of preparing for the war was also carried out rapidly.The first army was assembled within half a day and was ready to go to the battlefield.

However, Linton Pass is located at the southwestern border of the kingdom, and it will take a long time for the army to arrive there.Many people are worried about this, for fear that the reinforcements will fall before they reach the pass.

Just when the attention of the entire kingdom was focused on the Linton Pass, Anna, Rosberg and the others rushed back to the capital as quickly as possible.With their abilities, it is not difficult to transfer a small "mercenary leader" back to the capital.On the same day, the Privy Council issued an order to urgently summon Roger Lee, who assisted in guarding the Linton Pass, to the capital.

This order was personally issued by the Duke of Hamilton, the president of the Privy Council. King Fernando Alonso III even sent his confidant, Viscount Philip Massa, the captain of the palace guard, to the Linton Pass to deliver the order. Earl Rosberg also volunteered to accompany him.

This unusual situation immediately attracted the attention of those who cared. Many people were asking who this Roger Lee was, and that so many big figures paid such attention to him.Especially when everyone knew that Roger was currently facing a crisis at the Linton Pass, various speculations also spread, making everyone pay more attention to this previously unknown mercenary leader.

At the same time, Roger, who was far away in the Lington pass, was leading his men to fight fiercely with the undead creatures. He didn't know that he had become the focus of discussion among the capital's nobles after dinner.

Heidfeld decided to complete the task assigned by the leader as soon as possible, so naturally he would no longer consider preserving his strength.Countless undead creatures flocked to the castle under its command, attacking Roger and the others with their best crowd tactics.

There are more undead creatures participating in the attack this time than last time, and the types have also developed from a single zombie to a variety of low-level undead creatures such as skeletons, skeleton warriors, plague zombies, and ghouls.In particular, the plague zombies and ghouls pose the greatest threat to Roger and others. Several times, Chris and Phil had to run back and forth on the city wall to eliminate the ghouls who rushed up the city wall with agility.

Roger and the others fought hard on the ramparts.The enemies rushing towards the city wall and the dark undead creatures outside the castle inevitably made everyone feel a sense of strength.Fortunately, the soldiers under Roger didn't have their own ideas, otherwise, their morale might have fallen into a trough at this time.

Roger chopped down the skeleton warrior climbing up the city wall with a single sword, and at the same time couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "It's really endless!"

The battle has lasted for half a day, but the undead creatures have no intention of stopping their attack.Highfield's plan was to fight a war of attrition, using low-level undead creatures as cannon fodder to exhaust the strength of these human beings, and then dispatching elite men to kill them all in one go.

The subordinates who kept flocking to the city wall from a distance, the death lord felt that this time he would definitely be able to kill all those humans.It even began to look at the castle with great interest, hesitating whether to make it one of its residences.

Contrary to the laid-back Highfield, Roger and the others are fighting the enemy with all their might.Although the strong will to survive allows everyone to maximize their potential, human physical strength is limited after all.After a long battle, everyone is exhausted and it is difficult to continue.

"I'm exhausted!" Chris split the zombie in front of him with a sword, and said to Roger panting: "If this continues, even if we don't get killed by undead creatures, we will be exhausted to death!"

"Where's the magic scroll I gave you? Take it out and use it!" Roger himself was on the verge of collapse, reminding the knight to stick the Breeze Talisman on his body, and then tore it in half.

The familiar coolness instantly flowed all over Roger's body, filling his sore body with strength again.Roger felt that the sword that was getting heavier and heavier suddenly became lighter, and the two "shuashua" swords chopped a ghoul that had jumped onto the city wall into three pieces.

Roger's words also reminded others, and everyone used the Breeze Talisman on themselves one after another.But in the blink of an eye, all the exhausted people regained their strength, and their low fighting spirit was rekindled.Among them, Chris and Phil immediately launched a rush attack after recovering their physical strength, eliminated a group of skeleton warriors, and regained a small section of the city wall controlled by them.

Seeing that the line of defense had stabilized again, Roger couldn't help but praise loudly: "Good job!"

"I have good news for you!" At this moment, the excited voice of Castle Hub rang in Roger's head: "The super weapons factory and super barracks have been upgraded!"
