king of the castle

Chapter 435 Cremation

Roger did not forget that he was in a place where undead creatures were raging, and immediately said to Anna vigilantly: "Go!"

Anna immediately nodded in agreement, and the two ran out of the castle as fast as they could, towards the place where the sound came from. 【】When he got to the place, Roger found that the situation was worse than he thought.I don't know when the two skeleton mammoths smashed into another section of the city wall, and what I heard just now was the sound of the city wall collapsing.Many undead creatures are pouring into the city from the gap in the city wall, it seems that this Gaia city can no longer be defended.

Ralph, who was resting outside the castle, was one step ahead of Roger, and was directing his soldiers to defend the new gap.Roger would not stand by and immediately summoned more soldiers to help defend, temporarily stabilizing the situation.

"My lord, the gap is still getting bigger, and the city wall will soon be breached by undead creatures." Ralph came to Roger and said, "I suggest retreating to the castle, so that we can gather our troops to last longer."

In general, there is indeed nothing wrong with Ralph's advice.The advantage in the number of undead creatures is too obvious. Although retreating to the castle gave up a line of defense, it can avoid greater casualties and persist for a longer time.Although everyone knew in their hearts that doing that would be nothing more than lingering, but this was the only choice everyone could make at the moment.

But Roger didn't think so. Although retreating to the castle could provide temporary stability, it was not a long-term solution after all.The castle in Gaia City is also in a crumbling state. It can't last long under the attack of the skeleton mammoth. It's better to find another way out as soon as possible.

In fact, with Roger's current ability, it's not too difficult to leave Anna alone.Anyway, there are still a few griffins in the animal training ground, and it will be safe to ride a griffin for half a day.But Roger was able to take Anna away, but he couldn't guarantee the safety of the more than 1000 soldiers.Roger couldn't bear to leave so many loyal soldiers behind Hamilton, and wanted to bring as many people back safely as possible.

Roger looked at the situation outside the city from the place where the city wall collapsed, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a large flat and open land outside the city.It used to be a fertile farmland, but after the invasion of undead creatures, it became barren.In Roger's eyes, this large piece of land is the best place to place his castle, but at this time the land is full of undead creatures, and some undead creatures must be cleared first, and then the castle can be summoned Come.

Although there are tens of thousands of undead creatures outside the city, this little matter can't trouble Roger at all.After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea, and immediately ordered loudly: "Knight Ralph, order all soldiers to gather here, and be sure to guard the area near the gap in the city wall! I will let my soldiers defend with you."

Roger's order greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. When Ralph came to abandon the castle, which was easier to defend, and instead gathered the entire army here, it was no different from suicide.But the knight did not forget his oath, even if he did not understand Roger's order, he did not raise any objections, and quickly responded loudly: "Obey!"

Looking at the back of Ralph leaving in a hurry, Roger's eyes flashed with admiration.However, the current situation no longer allowed Roger to think about other things. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the soldiers were gathering, he took Anna's hand and ran into the castle.

With Hamilton still in the castle, Roger didn't want to leave his body to the undead and had to cremate the duke's body before retreating.This is also Hamilton's last wish. If not, he will definitely be transformed into an undead creature after Roger and others evacuate, and live a life that will never rest.

Anna naturally knew what Roger was going to do, she bit her lips tightly and said nothing all the way, it could be seen that she wanted to try her best to show herself as strong as possible.But when the two came to Hamilton's room, Anna couldn't help but shed tears.For many years, she and her father depended on each other for life, and seeing her father die unexpectedly, without even having a decent funeral, it is normal to be sad.

Although Roger could understand Anna's mood, the current situation really allowed the two of them to waste any more time.Roger of Nye silently sprinkled some dragon blood on Hamilton's body and in the room, then pulled Anna back a few steps, and threw a burning candlestick on the ground.

The fire dragon's blood burned quickly when it met the fire, and soon engulfed Hamilton's body.At the same time, the fire became more and more intense, and the two could no longer know Hamilton in the flames.

Knowing that the entire tower would soon be engulfed in flames, Roger gently pulled Anna and said, "Let's go, after the undead creatures are eliminated, we must build a majestic monument here for your father!"

Anna took a last look at the room where her father was resting, and silently followed Roger to the outside of the castle.On the way, Anna finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Roger in a low voice: "Is it really possible to build a monument for my father? I'm afraid... Even if the undead creatures can be eliminated, Alonso III will not agree."

"If he dares to disagree, we will hit him until he agrees!" Roger clenched his fists and said, "Speaking of which, your father is also my relative. If I can't do this little thing for him, then I'm too useless!"

Anna felt very relieved by Roger's words, she leaned her head lightly on his shoulder and said, "From now on, I will rely entirely on you..."

In Roger's impression, Anna has always been an image of a strong woman who is in a hurry, but today she showed a weak look several times, obviously very sad in her heart, and it also made Roger feel distressed for her.However, it would be helpful to say any words of comfort at this moment. Roger hugged Anna's shoulder heavily to express his comfort. Behind them, flames had already burst out from the mouth of the tower.

While Roger was helping Anna to the assembly point, he summoned Seraph Archangel Angela in his heart: "Angela, can you destroy the undead creatures outside the city and clear an open space for me?"

The supreme god of light and the undead creatures of darkness are inherently irreconcilable, and Archangel Seraph replied without hesitation: "Yes!"

"Great!" Angela's answer made Roger full of confidence, and he immediately said to her: "I will follow my orders later, and I will leave everything to you!"

"Don't worry!" Angela replied lightly, and then fell silent.

After getting along for a few days, Roger also got to know this cool Seraph Archangel, and knew that since she agreed, there would be absolutely no problem.So Roger didn't say much, and arrived at the assembly point with Anna as quickly as possible.

Ralph's movements were quick, and he had already gathered all his soldiers together.And the soldiers under Roger also retreated to this side, voluntarily giving up the defense of other areas of Gaia City.

Without human hindrance, undead creatures flooded into the city that had already been occupied by them once.Before that, tens of thousands of undead creatures surrounded Gaia City. If all these undead creatures entered the city, it would definitely be a huge threat to Roger and others.

Fortunately, the damage to the city wall of Gaia City is not too serious, and there are only two small gaps.One of them is still under the control of Roger and others, and there is only one for undead creatures to pass through, so the speed of undead creatures entering the city is not fast.In addition, many undead creatures scattered in all directions after entering the city. The undead creatures that really came directly to besiege Roger and others only accounted for a part of them, so the temporary pressure on the soldiers was not too great.

However, although the situation is not bad for the time being, everyone can imagine that as more and more undead creatures enter Gaia City, everyone will soon fall into a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides.At that time, there are undead creatures who were guarding outside the city in front of them, and there are enemies rushing into the city behind them, so they really can't even escape.

So many people, including Ralph, looked at Roger eagerly, their eyes full of expectation, and of course, some doubts.After all, it was Roger who ordered to abandon the easier-to-hold castle and let everyone gather here. He should have a way to lead everyone to escape the catastrophe in front of them.

Of course, there are also people who completely trust Roger.For example, Anna never doubted Roger at all, and always believed what he said.As for the soldiers under Roger, it was even more impossible to doubt him.Under Roger's order, his soldiers stuck to their posts and fought hard, harvesting the undead creatures that rushed up.

Of course, Roger also felt the eyes of other people with various meanings, but he didn't explain it, and it was impossible to tell them all about his plan.Roger is not a good person, if these soldiers trust Roger very much, then he doesn't mind helping them.But if anyone dared to doubt Roger, he would not care about the lives of these guys.

Although the soldiers under Ralph admired Roger very much, some people couldn't bear it at this critical moment.A small captain was the first to attack, and suddenly stood up and pointed at Roger and said loudly: "You are willing to follow him to die, but I am not! I am going to the castle now, who is willing to go with me?"

Although the towers between the castles had been burned during the cremation of Hamilton's body, most of the castles were made of stone, which could not be burned by fire. In the eyes of most people, the castle was much safer than here.

The captain's words were immediately echoed by many soldiers. These people stood behind him in groups of threes and threes, expressing that they did not want to stay here to accompany Roger to die.

Seeing that some of his soldiers were going to mutiny, Ralph blushed with anger and shouted angrily, "Have you forgotten your oath?"

"Knight Ralph, we just swear to be loyal to the Duke." The captain said with a look of disdain: "I never said that we must listen to Earl Lee. We have no objection to his own death, but we will definitely not Die with him!"
