Chapter 438 The First Castle Attack and Defense Battle

After arranging all the defense affairs, Roger went to see Anna in the upstairs room of the castle bar. 【】After many days of hard work and the grief of losing a loved one, Anna's spirit was very poor.The room on the second floor of the bar is very comfortable, just in time for Anna to rest and recover her strength.

It can be seen that Anna was still very sad, but her always strong personality made her bear her grief, and she did not cry like ordinary women.Roger comforted Anna for a while, and only tiptoed out of the room after she fell into a deep sleep. He went to the bar downstairs and ordered a glass of the best ale, not thinking about his own thoughts while drinking.

"Lord Earl..." Ralph tentatively called Roger at the door of the bar when he drank half of his glass of ale.Although he was sheltered by the castle, there was no problem with his safety for the time being, but the knights and his men regarded the sudden appearance of the castle as a miracle from the Supreme God.In this "sacred" castle, Ralph's every move is cautious.Places like bars used to be his favorite places to go, but now the Cavaliers dare not even enter the door.

"Come in, I'll buy you a drink!" Roger waved to Ralph, and then greeted the bar owner, who was also a commoner in the castle, and said, "Give my friend a glass of the best ale!"

Although he was invited by Roger, Ralph still seemed very cautious.He sat upright in the chair, like a primary school student in class.The bar owner with an expression on his face brought the ale, and the knight took a sip from the cup carefully, and then he couldn't help sighing: "It's really good wine, even the wine is the best in the castle of the great Almighty God!"

Roger was already familiar with Ralph's fuss, and gave up trying to make him relax. He just asked indifferently, "What do you want from me?"

"Yes, my lord." Speaking of this knight, he also became serious, put down his glass and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for saving everyone, but the undead creatures will definitely gather soon, I want to know what you need me and my men to do .”

"I don't need your help for the time being." Roger pondered for a while and said, "Your task now is to take a good rest, and you can serve as the reserve team after you have recharged your energy!"

To be honest, Roger didn't intend to let Ralph and his men go to the battlefield unless it was absolutely necessary.First of all, they are all real human beings, and they will not be resurrected after death. Roger can't do such a thing like using these big living people who trust him very much to fight against undead creatures; secondly, Roger's soldiers can bring him a piece of soul power by destroying an enemy, but Ralph and his men will not bring any benefits to Roger by killing those undead creatures, so Roger doesn't want them to waste These precious soul powers.

Before coming to Roger, Ralph also walked around the castle and was deeply impressed by the soldiers under Roger.As an experienced officer, Ralph could tell at a glance that these soldiers were all elite soldiers, and even his own subordinates couldn't compare with them.Roger's so-called letting himself and his subordinates serve as the reserve team, in fact, he has already said it very politely, and it is very face-saving for himself.Therefore, the knight did not raise any objections, but immediately responded solemnly: "Obey!"

"You send a few people to wait at the warehouse door, and I will allocate some food for you to solve the problem of eating." Roger then said to Ralph: "The soldiers cannot fight hungry."

There is a lot of food in the castle warehouse, and it is absolutely no problem to feed these thousand people for half a month.This is also the advantage of having a castle hub, otherwise, even if Ralph's soldiers entered the castle, they would be starved to death and thirsty.

"I'll arrange it now!" Ralph also knew the importance of food to the army, so he immediately drank his glass of ale and walked out.

"One more thing!" As the knight was about to leave, Roger quickly reminded: "You tell others that you can go to other places in the castle as you like, but the top two floors of the tower and the second floor of the bar are strictly prohibited!"

Seeing that Roger was serious, Ralph also responded seriously: "Don't worry!"

Now that the castle was summoned to the main material world, Archangel Angela naturally followed.At this time, she was resting on the floor next to the top floor of the tower, and another artifact, the Archangel Statue, was placed on the top floor, so these two floors were absolutely forbidden for others to enter.

As for the second floor of the bar, it was because Anna was resting.In order to prevent her from being disturbed, no one else was allowed to go upstairs.

After Ralph conveyed his order, Roger also drank his glass of wine and muttered to himself: "It seems that I have to go to the city wall to inspect it, so as not to let everyone think that I am the only one in the whole castle doing nothing. .

Just as Ralph's men were eating together, the first wave of undead creatures' attack on the castle began.

These undead creatures are part of the undead creatures that originally besieged Gaia City.They moved faster and entered Gaia City first, escaping the fate of being purified by the holy light.After killing all the rebels, these undead creatures were attracted by the vitality in the castle, and all gathered towards the place where Roger and the others were.

To Roger's surprise, among these undead creatures, there was actually a black knight.The black knight can also be regarded as a super undead creature, and it also possesses a certain amount of wisdom.It knew that it could not capture such a castle by fighting alone, so it used its coercion over low-level undead creatures to control other undead creatures, and then organized them to attack the castle.

Under the unified command, the threat of those undead creatures who used to rely on instinct increased greatly.The undead creatures used to attack only sporadically, and often dozens or even just a dozen undead creatures dared to frighten the city wall when they gathered together. All their actions had no rules at all.The soldiers stationed on the city wall can wipe out the undead creatures below one by one without any effort.

However, with the command of the black knight, these undead creatures have more or less the appearance of an army, at least knowing that they will wait until they have a certain number before launching an attack.

Thousands of undead creatures gathered not far from the castle, and then assembled to attack a section of the city wall.This was also the first time that Roger encountered a decent attack, but these thousands of low-level undead creatures alone were far from enough to pose a sufficient threat to the castle.

These undead creatures such as skeletons and zombies were dumbfounded when they rushed to the foot of the city wall.After all, they are not undead creatures who are good at climbing and moving quickly. Facing the solid, thick and smooth city wall more than ten meters high, it is impossible to quickly climb to the top of the city.

However, the persistence of undead creatures is world-famous.The skeletons and zombies didn't hesitate too much after rushing under the city wall, and soon barely grabbed the tiniest gap on the city wall and began to climb up.

For other creatures, it is simply impossible to climb the top of the city like this.In addition to the determination not to be afraid of death, there must also be extremely firm beliefs and tireless physical strength.But for undead creatures, all of these three points are possessed by low-level undead creatures who have no thoughts of their own. Of course, they are not afraid of death, but only know how to execute orders of their kind that are stronger than them.As for physical strength... As long as the fire of the soul is not extinguished, the undead creatures can continue to fight.

These low-level undead creatures reluctantly climbed up the city wall, which was somewhat similar to the geckos on the earth.However, their climbing speed is too slow, and the climbing speed of each undead creature is different, so there is no way to pose any threat to Roger.

After waiting for a long time, the fastest crawling skeletons finally approached the top of the city, and they were greeted by heavy-armed pikemen who had been waiting for a long time.To deal with these slow-moving enemies who are hanging on the city wall without any resistance, the heavy spearmen have no pressure at all.They spared no effort to stab their enemies' heads one by one with their spears. The sharp points of the spears pierced the heads of the undead creatures without hindrance, and at the same time destroyed their soul fire.The undead creature that lost its soul fire was just an ordinary corpse, which immediately fell from the high city wall to the ground and was smashed to pieces.

As more and more undead creatures approached the wall, the soldiers on the wall also became busy.The heavy spearmen and bust swordsmen all joined the battle. They kept attacking the approaching enemies, throwing those who couldn't fight back off the city wall one by one.

Those unlucky undead creatures finally approached the top of the city, but they were wiped out one by one by Roger's soldiers.The remains of undead creatures were soon piled up at the foot of the city wall, while the number of undead creatures hanging on the city wall was rapidly decreasing.Thousands of undead creatures attacked at the same time, although they looked menacing.But the vast majority of undead creatures failed to climb the city wall at all, and became the soul power harvested by Roger.

Only a few dozen nimble ghouls successfully climbed onto the city wall, but they did not cause much trouble to Roger.The half-armored swordsmen standing on the city wall quickly wiped out these ghouls, and he only paid the price of four people being injured.Compared with the result of eliminating thousands of undead creatures, this little loss can be described as insignificant.

Just when the undead creatures started to attack, Ralph climbed onto the wall to watch the battle.This is not to say that the knight will deliberately disobey Roger's order, but that he wants to contribute too much to the battle.But Ralph soon discovered that his existence didn't make much sense.The soldiers under Roger are really outstanding, and with such a strong castle as a backing, it is easy to destroy such a little undead creature, and he does not need to take action at all.

"What an elite army!" After the battle, the knight made his own judgment, admiring Roger and his soldiers.

But what Ralph didn't know was that at the same time, Roger, whom he deeply admired, was falling into deep doubts.
