king of the castle

Chapter 45 Davao City

Roger had already seen the shortcomings of the spear militiamen in previous battles, so as soon as the primary barracks were built, he immediately asked the castle hub to start training short sword fighters. 【】Anyway, when we eliminated those plague zombies last time, we absorbed enough soul power, and it was more than enough to train some dagger fighters.

Speaking of the danger of being surrounded by plague zombies under the cliff that time, it was dangerous, but the harvest was huge after solving the problem.Needless to say how much soul power Roger has collected, even many spear militiamen have been promoted from recruits to veterans, and a few have two gold borders on their cuffs, which shows that they are already elite spear militiamen.

Now Roger has completely understood the true meaning of the phrase "the greater the danger, the greater the reward".Sometimes he can't help but feel that the crises he encounters are also the best opportunities to improve his strength. After all, after each crisis is resolved, Roger's strength can be more or less improved.

Of course, in order to successfully resolve the crisis first, strength is also essential.Roger has never slackened in improving his strength, and it is naturally the same this time.

The first short sword fighter was quickly trained, and Roger couldn't wait to call him to his side.Like the Pike Militia, the Cutlass Warriors are burly men who also wear the iconic blue and white battle attire.However, the dagger fighter's weapon is a one-foot-long dagger, and a small wooden round shield is also equipped in his left hand.

Such weapons and equipment allow short sword fighters to have both offense and defense, and are especially suitable for close-range hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, which just makes up for the lack of long-spear militia in this regard.After all, the spear militia's weapons are too long, and the killing effect is almost all concentrated on the tip of the spear. If the enemy bullies them close, it will be difficult to launch a fatal attack on them.There are many spear militiamen who were killed after being approached by the enemy because of the limitation of weapons to launch effective attacks on the opponent.

Now that Roger has a short sword fighter, he doesn't have to worry about this problem.Short archers, long-spear militiamen and short-sword warriors launched effective attacks on enemies at three different distances: far, near, and far. The so-called coordinated operations of arms have finally taken shape by this time.

Roger asked Castle Hub to speed up the training of dagger fighters, and when he arrived outside Davao City, the team already had a whole team of dagger fighters.

Davao City is the largest city on the Lund Peninsula. It is said that the population of the entire city is close to [-], which is already a very remarkable number on the continent of Em.On the map that Roger got from the death knight, it was clearly marked that there were [-] regular army infantry stationed here, as well as hundreds of cavalry and dozens of knights.

Roger thought that with such a large force protecting Davao City, it would not be so easy to fall.However, it was not until here that I discovered that the city known as the "Pearl of the Lund Peninsula" had not escaped the ravages of the undead army.

There was no one at the bustling city gate in the past, and the two thick gates had been tilted to one side, completely losing their original function.Roger stood outside the damaged city wall and looked inside, but there was no one alive at all, not even the slightest sound.

"Unexpectedly, even Davao City fell!" Mike sighed softly behind Roger, feeling both lost and sad.

Davao City has an extraordinary status in the minds of all people living on the Lund Peninsula.Although Mike also noticed that the disaster of the undead was more tragic than the previous times, he still didn't expect that even Davao City would fall, and he had to accept this terrible fact until he witnessed it with his own eyes.

It turned out that Mike still couldn't understand Roger's plan to give up going to Rose Castle and go directly to Linton Pass instead. He felt that he was too cautious.Only now did the hunter understand how far-sighted Roger was. Even Davao City was conquered by the undead army. Even if everyone really went to Rose Castle, it would be a waste of time.

Thinking of this, Mike respected Roger even more, and asked in a low voice behind him: "My lord, what shall we do next?"

"Let's go to the city first, and hope to find some food to take on the road." To be honest, Roger didn't have any good plans, so he could only take one step at a time.

Originally, Roger planned to replenish some food in Davao City and continue on the road.However, this place has been occupied by undead creatures, so there is nowhere to spend the gold coins in his pocket.Now Roger only hoped that the city was not too severely damaged by undead creatures, so that he could find some supplies here and continue on the road.

The crowd walked into Davao City under the leadership of Roger.

On the front and rear sides of the team are the vigilant spear militiamen and short sword fighters, and a little further inward is the position of short archers.As for Roger, Mike and the others, they were surrounded in the innermost part and slowly moved along the wide road in the city.

It can only be seen from the buildings on both sides of the street. Davao City was indeed a very prosperous city.These two- and three-story buildings are all made of neat stone blocks, which are strong and safe.There are various signs hanging in front of the doors of many buildings, indicating that they are all shops selling various commodities.Roger could fully imagine how lively the streets would be without being invaded by undead creatures.

But now all that has changed.There was no one on the street, and the breeze swayed the signboards slightly, making a soft "creak" sound, but it made the surroundings seem quieter.

There is not a single dead body in the city.According to the habit of the undead army, all the victims killed by them will be transformed into undead creatures to replenish them, so this is not surprising.Only the bloodstains that appeared on the ground from time to time reminded people that a brutal massacre took place here not long ago.

Lisa followed closely behind Roger, involuntarily wanting to get closer to him.For the young girl, the scene in front of her was very scary, so she just wanted to be closer to her master, as if only in this way could she get a more sense of security.

At this moment, Roger, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Lisa bumped into his back without warning.The girl's dove-like tender chest was pressed tightly against Roger's back, making his heart tremble involuntarily when it was soft with some firm touch.

"Yes... I'm sorry, master!" Lisa, who made a mistake, quickly apologized to Roger, and the girl who felt impolite blushed with embarrassment.

Roger didn't take this collision seriously. In fact, the wonderful feeling just now made him wish that Lisa would hit him a few more times.But the current situation is really not suitable for teasing the girl, so I just smiled at her and said, "I don't blame you, I stopped suddenly. What did you and I find?"

After Roger finished speaking, he pointed to a shop on the side of the road, and when he saw the sign hanging at the entrance of the shop, Lisa couldn't help but brighten her eyes and said, "Bakery!"
