Chapter 46 The Battle Before Fort Davao

Of course, food is indispensable in the bakery. Food can take everyone farther, which is the shop that Roger most hopes to find. 【】He first ordered the dagger fighters to go in and search, and after there was no danger inside, he let others enter the store to collect food.And Roger himself led the soldiers to guard the door to prevent undead creatures from appearing suddenly.

With the protection of the soldiers, the other people's uneasy mood is somewhat relaxed, and the efficiency of doing things is also much higher.It didn't take long for Lisa and others to collect a lot of food. In addition to a lot of bread, there were some sausages and two large pieces of cheese.

Very satisfied with this harvest, Roger took it upon himself to cut a piece of cheese, gave half of it to Linda's son Mark, and stuffed the other half into Lisa's hand.

Received the special care of the master in front of everyone, the girl's pretty face flushed with embarrassment.Lisa instinctively wanted to quit, but Roger leaned into her ear at this moment and said: "You are too thin, you should eat more, I don't like girls who are as thin as firewood!"

Roger's last words made Lisa change her mind. She obediently took the cheese and ate it in small bites, making up her mind that she must eat more in the future so that she could grow some flesh.

Roger was very satisfied with Lisa's reaction, and he led the crowd to continue walking along the street, going in and sweeping as long as he found any shops he was interested in along the way.After a while, Roger got a lot. In addition to bread, sausage and cheese, he even got some honey and ale.If you save some food, this much food is enough for everyone to persist until the Linton pass.Anyway, these things can be placed in the primary warehouse, and it won't slow down everyone's progress.

The scale of Davao City is indeed not small.Roger led the crowd for so long, and he only walked through half of the city.It was getting late, and Roger began to consider whether to spend the night in the city, or let everyone drive a little longer and find a place to camp after leaving the city.

At this moment, there was a vague sound of fighting ahead, which immediately caught Roger's attention.

"Are there still humans active in the city?" Roger frowned slightly, and immediately ordered the soldiers to speed up their pace and head towards the direction of the sound.

From the time Roger heard the sound of fighting, undead creatures began to appear around.These guys seemed to be everywhere, they drilled out from behind the corner, on the roof, inside the door and even the sewer, and launched a surprise attack on Roger and others.

Fortunately, these undead creatures are sporadic, and most of them are low-level undead creatures such as skeletons or ordinary zombies, so the attack power is not very strong.In addition, there are a lot of soldiers under Roger, and the combination of arms is more reasonable, so there is no loss.The undead creatures that appeared from time to time had no effect other than allowing Roger to absorb a little soul power.

Just between the stop and go, Roger had arrived at the source of the fighting sound, which was originally heard from the inner city of Davao City.As the largest city on the Lund Peninsula, Davao City is divided into two parts: the inner city and the outer city.The outer city is the area where ordinary people and some minor nobles live, while the inner city is the residence of the lord of this place, Count Fisichella, who is known as "The Cowardly", and is usually also called Fort Davao.

There is a square in front of Fort Davao, which has become a battlefield for humans and undead creatures.Some soldiers guarded a gap in the wall of Fort Davao, and were fighting fiercely with undead creatures trying to enter the castle.

Roger did not expect that there were still people resisting undead creatures in Fort Davao when the outer city was almost deserted.Those soldiers had uniform equipment, and they didn't flinch in the face of the undead creatures that far outnumbered them. They were obviously a group of professional soldiers, maybe they were elite troops under the command of a certain nobleman.

However, although these fighters are well-equipped and high-spirited, their numbers are too small.Surrounded by undead creatures several times larger than themselves, they could barely hold on to a small gap in the wall of Fort Davao, but they were powerless to drive the enemy away.

"This is a good opportunity to gain the power of the soul!" Roger immediately changed from the situation in front of him to his own advantage, and immediately ordered the soldiers to attack the undead creatures gathered in the square.

The first to act were the shortbowmen.They drew their bows and arrows in unison, and launched an attack on the rear team of the undead creatures.The distance between the two sides is already very close, and the short archers can shoot the target with almost no need to aim.Some zombies fell to the ground immediately with a few sharp arrows behind them, unable to get up.

However, this round of attacks also exposed Roger and others.Some undead creatures discovered new targets, turned around and attacked Roger and others.The soldiers guarding the gap in the city wall immediately felt a lot less pressure, and the previously crumbling defense line was consolidated again.

Now Roger's strength is much stronger, and he is full of confidence even in the face of a large number of undead creatures.Roger calmly let the short archer shoot another round, and then ordered the spear militiamen to take two steps forward, preparing for the impact of undead creatures.

The low-level undead creatures, who didn't know the fear at all, completely looked at the gleaming spear tip, rushed up without slowing down, and slammed into the formation of the spear militia.

Many undead creatures were pierced by spears, and some were directly pierced through the head, turning into a pile of wreckage.However, this situation did not stop the undead creatures from attacking. They still rushed forward recklessly, as if they would not let it go until they killed Roger and the others.There are even some undead creatures whose bodies have been pierced by spears, but they are still trying to squeeze forward, only wanting to get closer to the enemy to launch a fatal attack.

If ordinary people were faced with such a terrible situation, their fighting spirit would have collapsed and they would have fled in all directions.But these soldiers only knew that there was no such emotion as fear in carrying out Roger's will, so there was no confusion in the formation of each of them sticking to their posts.

At this time, the short sword fighters also joined the battle. They specially attacked the enemies who were relatively close to the spear militiamen, completely defusing the attempts of the undead creatures to take advantage of the shortcomings of the spear militiamen's weapons to kill them.

At the same time, the short archer was not idle.Under the cover of other arms, they each looked for targets to attack.Generally speaking, bows and arrows are more effective against zombies and ghouls, especially slow-moving zombies are the primary target of short archers.Maybe one sharp arrow can't kill a zombie, but if four, five or even more arrows are shot at a zombie, it can still cause a fatal blow to them.

Whether it is a skeleton or a zombie, or a stronger ghoul, it is difficult to have a chance to fight back under such an all-round attack.Roger and his soldiers had a decisive impact on the battle situation. Not long after they joined the battle, humans gradually gained the upper hand, and finally wiped out these undead creatures.

Although Roger lost several spear militiamen and short sword fighters, he absorbed a lot of soul power, so he was quite satisfied with the result of this battle.However, the attitude of the soldiers guarding Fort Davao after the war made Roger feel a little unhappy.
